HOT ON THETR TRAIL
According to James J. Hollomon, ^special cor*j
respondent of the Constitution of Atlanta, Go-,j
Billy Sunday is after the Bobhevikis and ali;
other ‘*isms” in the states in his usual tray, with
hammer and tongue. The correspondent says:
Biiiv Sunday never fired an audience with any
more enthusiasm than he did some twelve thou
sand auditors at the old tabernacle this weke
when he stripped hide and tallow from Bolshe
vism and the other “ism's’ of the anti-Americans
Nor was Billy Sunday ever in better fighting
trim. 1 heard him in Atlanta; L heard him
here a year ago (Washington). I heard him in
other parts of the United States, and he never
spoke more forcibly, more powerfully, more elo
ouently than he did in flaying the red-flag bunch
He kept the barrage up for an hour and a half
iv’d no American machine gun ever poured hot
hot and shell more rapidly into enemy camps
than he poured the deadly missiles into the
camps of the enemy aliens now basking under
‘he sunshine of too liberal American institn
tions.
Purely because Billy Sunday is as mucn ai
hi-me in .Atlanta and Georgia as he is in Wash
ington or Indiana do I refer to some of the new
nhrases that he coined for this remarkable
charge. Here are some of them:
‘The hell that Bolshevism is making on earth
makes the real hell a side show."
"Ebert and that hunch of dirty German cut
throats are iu*t as cocky as ever and must bear
a deal of watching.”
“Every time I talk about Lenine and Trotzqv
< r anv of that rotten bunch over in red Russia
I disinfect my mouth before touching another
subiect. no matter what it is."
" Capitalists, nothinsr! These nasty, dirty.
Cnkin" Bolshevists think any one who owns
» '!Vr(v hond or a tin lizzie is a capitalist.”
“Free love? Never! They can’t bring any °f
this pigpen stuff on this side of the pond."
“Any one who says ‘no beer, no work' should
he deported or stood up before a firing squad."
“Oh. God. save the United States from the im
pending tidal wave of Bolshevism.
“If any one thinks that a couple of red flags
and a bunch of camouflage is going to daunt any
henest-to-goodnes American, they have another
cue=s coming to them."
I have often had occasion to write commend
mgly of Billy Sunday,for I admire any man with
his pep and punch, but I never appreciated him
as I did o nthis occasion. Possibly my deep sym
pathy with his views accounted for it. for hea
ven knows we folk here in Washington are be
ginning to appreciate the baneful inroads of this;
Bolshevistic wave. At any rate, his address,
delivered with his characteristic snap and gym-!
ru stic and dynamic force, backed by a good
voic eand a responsive audience, will go a long
v .v toward correcting an abuse that is growing
ir this country only too fast despite our es
pionage laws,
