Attention was paid to the declaration of the chairman of the baard that & half way measure wouid make the board useless and the result is that his recommendations have heen followed, which is not only ecompli- mentary to him but premises te per- mit the beard to render the best pes- sible serviee under existing eonditions, Prices cannot be kept where they are, through no fault of the hoard, but they can he kept fram geing out of sight, or at least that is what we have a| right to expect. WHERE THEY BELONG, When a federal court in Kansas sends 27 members of the I. W. W, to prison for terms ranging from three and one-half to nine and ene-half years it is to be realized that a lesson of considerable value has been taught to radicals in that sectien, That part| of the coyntry like bthers has felt the | influence of the dangerous element. It has heard the teachings and seen the results of organimed work. =To these passing consideration was given though théy were permitted to jein and te talk. They were regarded as exercising the liberty that is extended to them under the law, but when they hegan a conspiracy for the averthrow of the gevernment of the United States, when they conspired to ob- struct recrwiting by discouraging en- listments, when they conspired to handicap the draft by urging men not to register and when they entered inte A comspiracy to curtail the preduction of food and fuel it was going too far and thelr conviction follewed their in- dietment. Whether or not the prison terms will convince them of or show them the error of their way can best be told later. They nevertheless know if they didn't before that they camnot violate the laws or enter into a con- spiracy to do so without paying the penalty for it. Throughout the ecoun- iry there has been an awakening to the real danger to the country that oxists in disregarding the contempt far law which such vpeople have man- fact| period are being felt meverely and it iment and have evervthing their own (Special to The Bulletin.)

DEPORTING THE REDS. Right in aecar@ with the sentiment of the country was the action in lower house~ of congress when it unanimously passed the law providing - for the deportation “of = fhosé aMéns who are afiliated with ‘or contribute money or services to organizations { which advecate the overthrow of gov- ernments By force, the unlawful de- struction »f public or private proper- ty, the killing of public offcials and which approve of and encourage - botage. The country has.been stirred by the tactivities of just such peeple. Th have ostensibly come to this country for the purpose of bettering their po- sition in life and have lost no time in undertaking to destroy the -~ zovern- way. They hvae gotten heyond point of seeking the benefits provided for them and are insisting upon tak- ing things into their own bands. And jthis state of -affairs bas been allowed to contiaue too long already. It has gotten to the point where the federai autherities are finding it necessary to round up and remove those who.are the most dangerous but it can be ap- preciated that those who direct by {word of msuth or funds the carrying on of guch werk are equally as bad as, if not worse than, those who do the dirty work. “These who dre encour- aging sueh dangerous principles by membership in supperting organiza- tions afe not fit to remein in the coun- try.

There are tlhose numbered among the citizens of { this country who need restraint but] they can and will be taken eare of un- der other laws. The keeping out and putting out of the undesirablesalien is a matter which cannot get too much werious consideration. EDITORIAL NOTES.
