Ketchikan. Alaska. Tec-- IS. 1919 ..
Activity against the v -I: houki not stop
at the pros, but should re i - to include the
I. W. W.. bolshevikis o r~ _ lists: for they
are all alike—trouble rrh- - cover their

the investigation should e\: s work to in

A determined effort wil: ’ :e to bring to
book tax evaders in ever; f the country.
The Treasury depart me : check every
tax evader and with ;;h; ? ro'-ernment

Ketchikan. They all paid thieve.
THE RUSSIAN IK
We Americans find E ~ hard to under
stand. This is not because ' is so myster
kvqs and recondite nor be are below par
mentally: but for the sirrv - hat we hare
been misled in the ma• mental defi
nition.
One afternoon the w 1st cropped up
in the new* from Russ ' morning every
newspaper whose library a Russian die
tionary told us what it tr.er..— :ber what the
dictioanry said it meant. ”.ruists of the
telegraph desk defined t as a believer
in the rule of the ma said the word
denoted those who fa- :r opportunities
for the downtrodden. > a me the day
when the dictionary w - and stripped
of its authority; for we v.: o link up the
slogans of democracy w-v- . >:-r accounts
of assassination, arson. :f re and whole
sale execution.
The lesson has rut l-e- ; n us. When,
another new word of pr ~y rt comes to
os from overseas we sba it up in our
dictionarfcs, but seek it from day to
day in the new s dispat’ judtre new
cults not by their - r fruits. We
shall base cur de*nit; -- 'be authority
of linguists, net ever u; - ~rd platforms
upon authentic re: r " - -'o-mance.
In this simple manna “pile for rur
own use a pocket poii'.a ~ founded not
upon shadowy theory bat upon the *ra rock of
fact. Already we have learned enough to deftae
ai l discuss the word Bolshevist somewhat as
Bolshevist, in pkia PresMaat’s American,
means a quitter. It signifies not only a quitter
but a self confessed and avowed quitter who has
thrown up the game and admitted or pogutH,
boasted to his feDows that he Is not man enough
to play it.
AD about him he has seen others no mare fa
vorably circumstanced than himself better their
lot by the grit and pluck that are expressed by
industry’ thrift and dogged effort. But the
quitter finds the gold coin of hard work and self
denial too precious to risk when copper of ale
house economic is so abundant. Yet even .the
ouitter winces under the lash of self accusation.
If misery loves company shame craves it a then
sandfold more. Quitters can hold up their beads
only in the company of other quitters, and eo
they lose no chance to spread their infection and
Like the fox who lost his brush they would urge
to swell the ranks that keep them in countenance
the fashion of doing away with inherited deceacy
If the Bolshevist had a strong enough monkey
wrench he would unscrew every bolt that holds
civilization together. He is against everything
that maqes for stability. In his eyes every man
who has managed his own affairs with sufficient
nrudence to rise in the world is by that very fact
disqualified to bear the burdens erf government.
The rule of the unfit is his red Utopia.
follows
He despises thrift, and he thinks his rut oral
enemy any man who uses his head to save his
heels or his brains to better his lot. He recog
nizes manual labor—though not much of it—as
a permissible necessity; but any work that can
be done in a white collar must be part of the
■general plot to keep him down. Nothing so en
rages him as to see others get ahead by sticking
to their jobs and doing them well. Small trades
work early and late are the quitter’s pet abo
minaton.
Their industry insults him and his sloth; and
he retorts by calling them bourgeois, his supreme
epithet of loathing and contempt! Such is the
quitters attitude toward good citizenship.
Jeremiahs and Cassandras who know their
Europe better than their native America are
making dire prophecies as to what will happen
when Bolshevism becomes firmly planted on our
shores. Bat they need have no fear. America
is not a land of quitters, and the temper of our
soil and atmosphere are not such as to permit
the establishment of Bolshevism or quitteriam.
We hear much nowdays of our opportunities
in channel of new trade; but not all of us know
iost where to begin garnering the harvest. Yet
the starting line is obvious. Let us posh the ex
port tradein Bobheviki, ciuittersAnarchists and
all such. No other exports can begin to bring us
such rich returns in peace, sanity and whole
«ome living.
Then let us by a stringent immigration law
make it impossible for European quitters to come
to .America.—Saturday Evening Poet.
