;r...n!.ii.:on to those
oi o a very treat
i L ou. s.-hlievs- who understood
! a. Jo that they were uu
j o nop: t-hei;d military orders,
f I Lis has come to lk'ht thru
vorkitic in our army camps.
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..

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.'

Three Principles of
THRIFT
1 Don't buy anything unless
you really want it.
2 Put a fixed sum in the bank
regularly, no matter how small
the sum.
J Never try to make up for
years of extravagance by buy
ing' a risky investment.
With these three principles,
we give one secret of success
in saving: BEGIN EARLY
AND KEEP AT IT.
We pay four per cent on Sav
ings deposits and credit the
interest every six months.
Both large and small accounts
are welcome. ,
