America is a country of free edu cair.al Institutions. Our public school system we boast of as being tte greatest factor extant contri buting to the general enlightenment of our people, yet we found that eight per cent of our soidiers could not read or write. These men, too, have grown ,into their majority since the establishment of the public school system and the placing of a red school house on every hill from Maine to Oregon and North Dakota to the Gulf of Mexico. Many wonderful and fearful les sons have been taught us Americans since the war lords unloosed their hounds in Europe more than four years ago. We have seen the utter disrupton of Russia, the trampling under foot and crushing of Belgium and Serbia. We have witnessed the toppling of the citadels of Kings and Emperors and the wrecking and dis memberment of one of the greatest autocratic empires, if not the great est, ever known to the world. We have seen the reaping of the evil seed sown in anarchy and the mur dering of innocent men, women and children. We know now the evils of non-education and realize the futility of attempts to amalgamate and control a people speaking a doz en different tongues. There is but one tongue in Ameri ca and that is English. There is only one flag in America and that is Old Glory. Dr. Charles Eliot, Theodore Roose ?elt and other great Americans long ago realized the absolute necessity of obliterating .the hyphen. All America surely realizes the logic of this argument. There should be but one language published in America and that should be English. There should be no German press, no Italian press, no French press, no Spanish press or Mexican press; there should be no United States printed publications permitted the use of the mails of this government that are not printed in English. In the ranks of the I. W. W. America's Bolshevik organization can be found the ragmufflns of al most every nation under the sun. Soap box orators sputterisg a gib berish, profaning English, will be turned loose in America immediately upon the signing of the articles of peace and once again will the war of unrest and malignancy be un leashed upon us. I am not afraid of an American laboring man no more than I am afraid of any other decent American. The ideas .of" government and sane ness of thought in the American laboring man's mind is unequaled in any other mind of the nation. He is as balanced and .rational as it is possible for a human to be. He is proud of his American institutions and he will gladly give his last drop of blood for those things that have become to him and his children through the government of which he is an important part. Because of the war many of the vulchers of Bolshevism have been landed behind the prison bars, but with the lifting of war-time regula tor's win come the apostles of an :v.vhy, pleading the cause of the "martyred heroes" who have given :heir life and liberty for the cause f free speech, free institutions, free soup, free love and every other thing under the sun that can be throw into the "free list." The coming back onto a peaca basis and the proper and sane regu lation of wages will produce amuai tion enough for a Bolshevik orgauii- ation to wreck a thousand indus trial plants and the Bolsheviks will be a wrecking crew hard to reckon with. Every alien entering the United States should be listed, just' as our enemy aliens are now listed and his ovary act should be kept of record. When his voice is raised iu any way to create an unrestful condition, or the miuute his affiliation with the 1. VT. W. can be proven he should at i once be expelled from the country, j If within two years he has not made :a declaration of becoming a citizen jV.e shuiful be sent back to his native , land. I Let all future propaganda to bo spread in -America be printed in ! English, so that all may read and ! undostand. There can be no hyphen i iu America, mere must uot 09. Put the children in school with ' free text books, as Texas is going to j do, and wipe out this eight per I cent. Teach but one tongue and only one flag. THE JOB HE LEFT. Many expedients have been sug gested as to what is the best thing we can do to make places for re turning soldiers and sailors. Reclaiming land by clearing stumps, reclamation, Irrigation, drainage, etc., are sought to be made popular undertakings. Allowing for the restless and un settled frame of mind produced in many men by war, most of them Brill want to return to their jobs. Unemployment is a ruthless enemy, and what any man wants first of all who works for a living, is a job, upon his return to civil life. The first thing for onr returning millions of men is good times with business and industry in a vigorous, nplookfng condition. The worst thing for our boys who are coming home is to find industry slack, business slow and prosperity a minus article. Industries should not be hampered and discouraged by foolish legisla tive experiments, regulations and high taxes.. S-J ONE BY GREGORY. Attorney-General Gregory tells this plqnant story on a prominent! financier and a well-known physician. The money juggler called at the office of the physician one day and told him with much concern that his only son was suffering from . dip theria. The doctor was solicitous but assured the financier that with the care given in the hospital to which the boy had seen sent he would pull through nicely. "But," said the father, "the boy confessed to me that he is sure he caught it from the parlor maid, whom he had kissed. "Well, yoner people are certainly very thoughtless," niused the doctor. "Im sorry to hear that your. son has been so indiscreet." "Yes, of course, doctor," said the financier nervously, "but don't yon see, to be frank with you, I've kissed the girl myself. Do you think I, too, will have the disease?" "Why, yes," said the doctor. "You are probably already infected. In fact, that would be the very next thing to expect." "Oh, that's awful," gasped the financier, "and I' kiss my own dear wife every night and morning, and she too " "Good heavens," cried the doctor, "then IU have it, too.' tt There's nothing half so sour In life as the awakening from love's young dream.
