THE BOLSHEVIKI
1 Communicated)
This beautiful land of our has
just lately gone through the fiery
trials of war. forced upon it by a
nation from whence the bolsheviki
originated. It is true that we may
not n*ve suffered as much as other
nations, upon whose soil the fighting
was actually done, but w© had to
conserve and sacrifice, and* practice
self-denial throughout every part of
this fre»t nation, each, and every
individual who was a patriot having
his or her share to perform, and
which was performed to the tune o|
VICTORY, but now that the war has
come to an end a great reaction has
to take pUce to bring things back
to their normal peace state. It all
takes time. It is something that
cannot le accomplished in a few
deyg or weeks, and we will an feel
the strain of the process of this in
terval, and all of us who are pa
triots, and true Americans, will un
derstand this, anft help to carry us
through this trying period without
trying to make trouble, as the bol
shevik! are.
Who are the bolsheviki? They
are boru of. and eminate from the so
cial cesspools of the old world, prin
cipally Germany, Austria and Russia,
they ara trouble makers wh«re ever
they appear on the face of this
globe, and they geem to be looking
for nothing else. It is nothing but
trouble wherever they bob up;
they are parasites of society, they
claim to recognize no form of gov
ernment, or law and ortlvr, their
platfo-m is anarchy and lawlessness,
their government i$ by the sword,
the gun. and the bayonet; and they
»urely lsp them indiscriminately
whenever the opportunity affords, o
I mav siy in any place where the
people are unfortunate enough to
let thorn get the upper hand; de
vastation and ruin lie in their wake.
We read not long ago in the pa
per that thousands paraded the
streets of Seattle operating under
the nam? of organized labor, but
crying out, ajid shouting as they
went along, "'the Bolsheviki are
all right." and other outbursts per
taining to the same; this shows
their true spirit. True, an<j. hon
es; organized labor would not think
■of acting as they have done,
or as they say they are going to
act, regarding the affairs of gov
ernment of Seattle, and the running
of the plants which do not be
long to them in any shape, form, I
or fastfon.
These same people heljJ; a meet
ing later, and three cheers were I
called for the bolsheviki which were
given in a rousing manner.
The word bolsheviki means, the :
most, and what they want and expect;
is the most in legislation, or legis
lation for themselves; also the |
most of what everybody else has.
and the most of everything else,
and after they get all this, then
they want the balance, orwhat is |
left, ha.s beeu deui< nstrat^ii by
them In fcvery place where they have
Rained a foothold. Russia being the
most conspicuous. (
Now ara we going to have these
people rule over us, do we want
these people, who cannot successful
ly govern themselves, to rule over
us? 1 think not, 1 hope not There
tore we must not let it get a foot
hold or take root anywhere In our
fair land, for if we do our troubles
will never cease; it must be dealt
with at ouce while it is yet young,
ar It will grow to proportions which
will *ive us no end of tiouble.
From whaf we read the Argentine
}eems to be taking hold of it right
ly, and also some others of the
South American Republics, and in
most every case they found that the
trouble was started by foreigners.
The trouble makers who are trying
to start trouble here in thes© U
uited States, are not true Americans,
iorne of them may have been for
tunate enough to have been Doru
under the Stars and Stripes, but
they were born away from home,
for the bolsheviki does not beloug
to this country, and' those who trav
el under that name are not pa
triots, they have not a spark of pa
triotism iu them, neither have they
a «i'rop of good American blood
coursing through their veins.
There w-as a mistaken phrase
used in early days pertaining to our
northland, it ran thus: "There is
no law of God or man runs north
of 53." This may be applied to
the bolsheviki, rendered thus. There
is no law of God or man recognized
by the bolsheviki.
The true and patriotic American
is absolutely and decidedly not
bolsheviki.

••YOl' n BETTEIt Itll.K A WKE"
E, .T. White, the head of the Al
aska Bureau of Publicity, has felt
that It is necessary to do something
to hta<j. off part of the big rush
that is expected now and' for
that reason has had cards printed
which are being freely distriouted.
j Following is the text on the cards
and anv one coming to Alaska now
without knowing beforehand what
he. is going to do will have no rea
son to complain if he lias reafi' one
of these cards.
"Owiup to the fact htat many la
borers and mine helpers are now
out of work in Alaska due to cop
per operators reducing the volume
of their activities, and to the
further fact that placer mining, fish
ing ar:d lumbering will not be ac
tive before April 1, it is inadvisable
ito come to Alaska at present in
quest of employment. Many soldiers
and sailors are now returning to
l their former positions which are
I open to them and' the result is that
! the labor shortage which formrely
existed is now supplied.
