The .American people are aroused. The milk and water, jelly fish in politics is t" he a tiling of the past. People ace going to deinanir men with Mood and nerve it the helm of State affairs, with the service men of the United State.s .off the main ones to direst affairs.. Will this nation staid and see its soldiers shot down while on parade at n peace celebration? No! , Wc mav ransom our boys out of Mexico repeatedly, as we have already done. e may compromise in a number of ways nationally, due to abnormal conditions, but we will not stand for murder of the American soldier on Ms own Boil.' . . . . , The call "to arms" would not he amiss. 'And then let the iiian hunt begin. Hunt down the Weds, the Anarchists, the deep-dyed Socialists who believe in lax law and revolu tion nn fact, spare no man nor woman who is not willing to carry the America" flag and fight for it. When fleneral Pix ordered, in Civil War times, to "shoot on the spot" any person guilty of tearing down the flag, lie cleaned up things mighty quick. The Dix order must be repeated. We must stamp out half the colleges of the country, o rforce their professors to do away with their anarchistic teachings. We must brand the spineless official as such, and demand that better mat erial he placed in public office. ' We must, as Oregouians. begin to get over a milky, soppy political condition which has elevated to office molycoddles of the weakest nature in the past, and put men on guard who ur fearless and have courage. In Vnion county, if there are. men who cannot, adjust themselves to the patriotic program so essential to Ameri can progress and American saftpy, it would be well for them to move elsewhere. This county will not permit any more temporizing with questionable characters, either well known or strangers. The circulators of literature intended to awaken strife is the first sign of treason.' Let it he put down upon the first sigm Do we need volunteers fo rthis work, or is the state, county and municipal government sufficiently alert and strong to accomiJish the nasty job? If volunteers are needed, there is about a thousand men who wore the American uniform with credit during the latn war, and all that, is needed is to sav the word. A SAMPLE OF "RED" POISON. Head this gentle declaration, taken from a manifesto originating in h'ussia and widely distributed through the 'I'nited States: "What must we do, the vanguard of the proletariat t Wo must conscientiously hasten (lie elementary move ment of the struggle of the working class; we must con vert small strikes into general ones, and convert the latter ones into armed revolt of the laboring classes against cap ital and state. "At the time of this revolt, we must, at (lie first favor able opportunity proceed to an immediate seizure of all means of production and all articles of consumption. At the same titno we. must mercilessly destroy all remains of governmental authority and class domination, liberating the ..prisoners,' demolish prisons and police officers, des troy uU V'gfil papers pcrjaining to private ownership of jipft.J im fiflil fences and houhdariew'and burn nil cer tificates of inoVbffrtneisMr WW . . a ;;. .j ?u , ... , , "In a word we must take cure that everything is wiped from the earth that is u reminder of the right to private ownership of property; to blow up barracks and police administration offices, and ulioot the most prominent mili tary and police officers. "In the work of destruction we must lie meivile.s." That is the sort of stuff that radical leaders have lieeu pouring into the ears of workmen in this country where ther is no "proletariat", but every decent citizen is a cap italist and law-ruaker. To intelligent, normal minds it Rectus incredible that any considerable number of Niiplc in America, native or alien, should accept so false and hid hiis doctrine, and contemplate ad inr on it. Yet there are always large numbers of men whose ignorance and fancied wrongs niake them incapable of sound judgment, and thus ttie Heti l'oison, if unchecked, make it way into the ar teries of American life. The several hundred agitatom recently rounded tip by lb goTfrnntetit for deprivation have riem distributers of that poison. It is high time that they stopped polluting tb mental atmo)ipbeie of this countiy. wen if 11 .i'ii.ii...u. 4.' -y j'l ! J.!

Law ahidinfr liijuor dealers failed to lisassociate themselves from those who defied law, and the public de stroyed the business as an only ap parent remedy. The lejral profession is under more or less of a cloud because of a few shysters of whom the profession in recent years has been ircttinjr rid. The medical profession suffers from the. ill repute incident to the harbonntr of quacks. Journalism is under more ,oi less suspicion because the editorial pajre is too often influenced by the Ifish interests of proprietors. Labor unionism, therefore, is not alone in sufferintr the consequences of toleration of lawlessness. Every de fense of lawless acts of labor union atrents, every effort to prevent law abiding men from taking leirilimnle occupation, every attempt ta promote selfish interests at the expense of the public welfare has been chnt tred to la Imr unionism as a whole, because it has not taken effective steps to pui-jrc itself of the criminal element. Even todny conservative lenders of labor unionism make no definite nnd con clusive issue with the radical and lin- American element of their member diio.
