it WARNS NATION OF RED PERIL| S. Pepartment of Justice Urges Americans to Guard Against Bolshevism Menace. 'GALLS' RED PLANS CRIMINAL Church, Schools, Labor Unions and Civio Bodies Called Upon to Yeach True Purpose of Bol- shevist Propaganda. ‘Washington.—Calling for the patrl- support of all true Americans in ts fight to protect their homes, re- fion and property from the spread- jmg menace of Bolshevism, the United Btates Department of Justice has is- ged a warning against the insidious paganda o0f the * " during the ew year. It reads: “It would be extremely heipful to the use of good government, the main- nce of law and order and the pres- lervation of peace and happiness in our @ountry if the people on this New ear’s day would resolve to study, un- erstand and appreciate the so:called Red’ movement. They can counter- act it most effectively by teaching its pu se through the press, the church, schools, patriotic organizations and unions, all of which are within e range of its insidious attacks. “Rod” Theories Criminal. “The ‘Red’ movement does not mean n attitude of protest against alleged defects in our present political and conomic organization of soclety. It does not represent the radicalism of ess. It represents a specific doc- namely, the introduction of dic- rships the world over by force and ence. It is not a movement of lib- rty-loving persons, but a distinctly criminal and ‘dishordest movement. Lenine himself made the statement at the Third Soviet Conference, ‘Among ne hundred so-called Bolshevists there s one real Bolshevik, thirty-nine crim- inals and sixty fools.’ It advocates the destruction of all ownership in proper- ty, the destruction of all religion and elief in God. It is a movement or- nized agalnst Democracy and in fa- vor of the power of the few bullt by force. Bolshevism, syndicalism, the Boviet Government, sabotage, etc., are only names for old theories of violence 'Fund criminality. ¥ Russian Labor Crushed. ’ “Though their adherents in this coun- ity are advocating and fomenting strikes, Lenine and Trotzky forbid \strikes, and trade unions are being iproken up and completely subordinated to the will of the few demagogues in control in Russia, This Bolshevist ex- periment on the living body of the ussian people has not proven in any sense of the word an experiment in ‘Democracy. The Bolshevist leaders frankly repudiate democratic princi- mles as we understand them. It has * |been a gumble which meant for Rus- 'rllfl, and, indeed, for the whole of hu- |amanity, enormous losses in lives as fwell as in material resources, The Bolshevists have run up a colossal bill ywhich the Russian workmen and peas- ants Will have to pay. “Reds” Menace America. “Having lived at the expense of the ‘Russian people for two years, these sgpeculators in human lives and other ple’s earnings are trying to move new fields to the east and to the est, hoping to take advantage of the economic distress and confusion of ymind in which humanity finds itself lafter the terriflc strain of five years yof war. J“Its sympathizers in this country are tcomposed chiefly of criminals, mis- taken idealists, social bigots and many unfortunate men and women suffering with varying forms of hyperesthesia. They are enemies of the government, et the church and of the home and ad- ocate principles which mean the aboli- tion of all three of these safeguards of clvilization. Would Rob Everybody. “Twenty million people in this coun- own Liberty Bonds. These the S’ propose to take away; 9,830,000 ple in the United States own farms land 3,838,000 more own homes, which they would forfeft; 11,000,000 odd peo- ple have savings accounts in savings ks and 18,000,000 people have de- ts in our national banks, at which ey alm. There are hundreds of thou- ds of churches and religious insti- itions, all of which they would abol- In other words, 110,000,000 hard- j'working and saving people who own property, love liberty and worship God are asked to abandon all the idqals of ligion, liberty and government, which are the outcome of the struggles of eir fathers and thelr own develop- ment, and to place themselves, their homes, their family and thelr religious faith in the keeping and thelr property der the domination of a small group of Lenines and Trotzkys.” Protection Promised. “This department, as far as existing jaws allow, intends during the forth- goming year to keep up-an unflinching, ent, aggressive warfare against by movement, no matter how cloaked dissembled, having for its purpose pther the promulgation of these ideas pe' the excitation of sympathy for e who spread them.

Our wood and coal dqalers here in Clearbrook cannot be accused of pro- titeering, even though our weather has been in their favor for the last four months. How many can say that of their fuel dealers with a clean and clear conscience in our land? The hens have gone 10 work and the cow is busy producing, hence hen fruits and bossie products, such as butter, has begun to come our way. Proof thej they are not “bolshevists,” thank God! ¥ The weather has taken a change for the better in that mild balmy air currents have been passing over us, leaving a pleasing and soothing effect on everything, after a winter of almost four months duration. If February continues as it began, much happiness, good cheer and com- fort will result both for man and beast.
