"In that case the field marshal is liable to fare
badly. He narrowly escaped court-martial at
the beginning of the war. He was in command
of the army in Ireland and gave official notice
that he would not obey orders to put down the
threatened rebellion in Ulster. The sudden flare
up of the world's war diverted attention fronw

BUNDAT MORNING. JUNE 29. 1919
LABOR KNOWS.
It shocked the boudoir Bolsheviks who were
calling the spirits of proletarian revolt from the
vasty deeps of war-troubled waters to be .told
by the representatives of 4,000,000 organized
workers, "Clear out, we want nothing of you,"
says A. M. Simon, commenting on the unrest in
Russia.
A working-class revolt without the workers,
a dictatorship of the proletariat without prole
tarians is truly a hard play to produce.
Union labor knows how gains are made and
held. It has made and held very many. It has
addel nbw a jot and then a tittle to the charter
of labor's rights. It has fought and won and
lost and returned to fight again, with infinite
sacrifice and endless pains to achieve the small
est "ains. Labor has also tried the sudden leap
and spent months and years after nursing its
bruir.es: and recovering lost ground.
It knows the great effort of organizing even
for .n immediate victory.' It knows the infinite
possibilities in the way of rallying labor, in a
democratic countrty, for forcible upheaval. It
knovs the impossibility of reorganizing the
crushing chaos that follows such an upheaval.
Knowing, labor will have none of these tactics.
These tactics have been tried. They were
tried in 1887, and again in 1894. The I. W. W.
tries them constantly, and organized labor's
heaviest indictment of the I. W.'W. is its futili
ty. It cannot point to a single industry and say,
"Because of us hours are shorter, wages higher,
labor is wielding greater power and is organized
"and disciplined to hold and utilize its gains."
Sporadic riots, "general strikes," and similar
Upheavals, do rarely win , victories, but never or
ganise and utilize them. These latter require
the ong training, discipline and self-control of
democratic organization. Union men and wom
en know this. It is bred into their inner con
sciousness. With more radicals than ever be
fore among its delegates the convention of the
American Federation of Labor gave Bolshevism
the bounce with slight consideration.
This is discouraging to the revolutionists of
pen and platform who have "seen the soviet in
acticn," and are anxious to become Trotzkys and
dicU.te in the name of the proletariat. :
Li.bor knows its disciplined ranks are sweep
ing jjteadily on from victory to victory. Know
ing this it does not listen to those who preach
the possibilities of mobs and ghost , dances.
M
FOR AMERICANIZATION.
We have slowly been forced to the conviction
that the hearts of many American citizens are
still beating in time with other hymns than
'America.
This is not the time to upbraid those whose
hearts still throb for mother country, and who
still have a divided allegiance.
There is no use arguing the right or wrong of
the matter; it is a good time to end forever this
tlicn tongue thing, alien tongue and alien thought
and alien sermon and alien editorial, and all the
rites of the various fatherlands.
By a hair this nation remained a nation re
cently." ...
All over this country foreigners tpday gather
in dozens and scores and hundreds.
Gather in foreign clubs, where foreign songs
are sung, where foreign speeches are made,
where customs and habits and traditions of na
tions that we recently were in death grapple
with, are uplifted and lauded.
The sooner it is . made obligatory on every
American " citizen to speak English, and teach
English and preach English, and editorialize in
English the better.
Those who have been making their daily bread
in this country for 40 years have had time enough
to learn the 300 words needed to speak business
and social English.
There is no excuse for the public school teach
ing German, or ANY OTHER LANGUAGE
BUT ENGLISH. - '
Better make a clean sweep, let the occasional
few who desire French, Spanish or German, or
Russian, or Chinese, or Japanese, or Cherokee,
pursue their studies privately, or after trie
grammar grades when foreign languages may
really be of some value in a professional career.
And those who can't be Americans, who must
hang onto fatherland customs and traditions
and language, while they glean American dol
lars, let them go back home where their hearts
are, and give real Americans a chance.
Recently we have discovered several groups
of Hun-minded folks slipping out of the holes
they . crawled into a year and more ago, and !
these "good American citizens" are as Hunnish
as when they went in. '

-Washington, June 28. Rumors of an
anarchist plot to assassinate King Al
phonso of Spain during the procession
accompanying the re-opening of the
cortes Tuesday .were responsible for
the sudden change of the scene of the

in official dispatches from Madrid.
Press dispatches from Madrid Tues

ACCUSES ASQUITH.
Richard Spillane, staff correspondent of the
N. I!. A., says :
"After every war there are sidelights thrown
upon the crises of the struggle, on the big events
of the campaigns, on the mistakes or victorious
moves of generals and on the parts played by
statesmen or politicians in shaping the nation's
course. Sometimes reputations are destroyed.
Rarely, however, has a man who played so big a
role as did Field Marshal French, for more than
two years commander of the British forces in
Frar.ce, suffer such ignominy as he has through
the recent publication of his book on the war.
"In this book Marshal French practically ac
cuser the Asquith government of responsibility
for his early failures through neglect to furnish
munitions to him as he demanded or to support
him otherwise. Only through the change in
government did it become possible for him to
get shells in quantity as desired, he asserts, and
the uarly delay handicapped him dreadfully.
"Eis charges' caused a considerable sensation,"
but it was mild in comparison with that which
followed Asquith's rejoiner.
"Asquith showed that every requisition of the
field marshal was filled promptly and that while
the narshal was expressing his gratitude to Mr.
GETTING READY FOR FALL.
John M. Scott of the University of Florida, in
discussing county fairs and methods for their
success, says:
"Getting exhibits is usually a difficult prob
lem. This is not because the farmers have any
objection to exhibiting material, but because
they do not have the material. To have an abun
dance of good material for exhibits means that
plans for having it must be made in advance of
the planting season. The same is true with livestock.-
The cows and sows must be bred at the
proper time so that the calves and pigs will be
the proper age to enter in the various classes.
"A successful county fair should have exhibits
from all sections of the county. If all sections
of the county are not represented it is not truly
a county fair. If all sections of the county are
represented as they should be, it means a good
deal of individual responsibility. It means that
some one must be responsible for exhibits from
each section of the county.
"In addition to the individual responsibility,
there is a certain amount of community respons
ibility. In addition to individual farm exhibits,
there should be community exhibits. There is
no good reason why the next county fair should
not have from ten to a dozen community exhibits.
To get these community exhibits there must be
co-operation of individuals in each community.
The farmers and stockmen should get together
four or five months in advance of the fair and
decide on what they will exhibit.
"What, better advertising can any community
get than can be gotten as a result of a good ex
hibit?, . '
?The county fair is not a money-making insti
tution. If the exhibitor puts his exhibits in the

Just imagine for a minute that
some power could stop all adver
tising". How would that affect
you? ?
It would cut you off from all
direct, commercial news about
things that you need and use in
your every day life. Somebody
might be selling a new, better,
more economical food; or a uten
sil that would save .money and
time; or. an article that would add
greatly to your comfort and well-
being; or some better material
for making shoes or clothing--
but you would never Jmow it.
Merchants and manufacturers
would be unable to tell you about
new and better things. PFhey,
would thus find it hard to put'
these things on the market, and
often would not tiy.
Merchants, unable to tell you
what they had to offer you, could
not take the risk of buying goods
for which they might have no customers.
"It pays to advertise." And advertising pays not only the advertiser
and publisher, but pays you too. It keeps you informed about the
things you need in order to live a profitable, happy and useful life in
this age of progress.
