WANTS TO GET BACK
Emma Goldman, the anarchist leader who was deported by the gov
ernment some time ago because she was sowing the seed of sedition in this |
country and pointing to Soviet Rususia as an example we had ought to fnl- •
Jow, is not so enthusiastic over the advantages of sovietism and other brands :
of tear things to pieces doctrines. In fact Emma is now telling the humble
and otherwise moujiks of Russia that she would rather be in prison in Amer
ica than free in Russia, according to reliable reports received on this side of
the globe. Emma’s new line of talk is decidedly pleasing to real Americans,
we submit, after all the abuse she has heaped upon America and American
Institutions since she was ponmitted to intrude herself on the nation a goo 1
many yeans ago.
Emma, after a few months of living in the delights of the new brand
of utopian thought represented by the Bolsheviest creed, has evidently had i
decided change of heart hut we don’t want Emma hack for all of that. She
wilLdo us far more good by remaining abroad. This new line of talk of hers
is fine advertising—too fine to check by letting he - return. AVe think she
will do us a really better turn by staying where she is and making comparisons .
than she possibly could by returning to the United States. There is also a :
prospect that she might change her mind again or have a relapse of the old dis
ease that induced her departure. Women like Emma are mighty uncertain.
There is no doulit that she would he greatly delighted could she return i
here. She found this country a very profitable field in whieh to operate
with little fear of anyone meddling with her activities. She made money easily ,
and when 8he left us she took along a nice little bank roll of greenbacks that
was worth more than any similar bulk of money in the world. Compared
with the value of the ruble a dollar bill was worth a couple of handfuls -f
Soviet currency. But when Emma landed in Russia she found herself com
pelled to practice what she had been preaching over here regarding division
of riches. She kicked hard but they took her fat roll away from her just the
same and Emma found that preaching and practice are often two different
things. She was also forced to go to work in the proletarian paradise -t
Sovietism, something she did not have to do in America, and work is no- ui
agreeable to some people. Another tiling; Emma was “some pumpkins"
among certain classes overe here. But after the first glad welcome f om *’n
disciples of Lonine and Trotzky, who were probably genuinely glad to « e
that nice fat roll coming their way, and after a few speeches at the wharf.
Emma, found that she wasn’t much courted but instead was ■ > lost sigh’
of by the greater personalities' and blood letters of her nativ. land. Sh.
wasn't in the swim at all and no woman, however philosophical she he, likes
to be ‘'dropped" that way, particularly after all the nice things she had so hi
about her hosts and their form of government.
She wasn't invited to the meetings and did not have a chance to tak
a hand in naming who was to be shot next, nor were any of the spoils of war
left at her doorstep. It was just the same as if she had never happened
along. So Emma wants to leave and come back to the land of the free
■Where she can operate much more profitably and draw down the golden dol
lars as in the days of old.
We are a complaisant people and some day, after she has advertised tis
well on the other side of thr, pond, we may permit her to come back for a
little vacation, at the same time keeping a close watch on her to determine if
she really means what she is now saying about us. She probably does right
now but. there is no telling how she might behave after being over here, a
while and getting less work and more money. In the meantime it is just
as well to let her stay abroad and advertise.
CLOTHING MANUFACTURERS HARD HIT
All of the big manufacturers of clothing- a,re having a hard linn- dis
posing of their stocks, according to the Boston Transcript, which says that all
of them are seeking t<> have the retailers accept consignments on any plan
that will aid in getting rid of the surplus. They will ship any amount ■■f goods ,
and will permit the retailer to sell all he can and return the balance. If*;
an unusual condition and reflects the drastic changes that have taken place
in this industry. In the cities retailers are taking advantage of the.-, offer
to put on sacrifice sales, the manufacturers having made big reductions in
former prices. During the war period and for two years following the
clothing manufacturers and woolen goods manufacturers thrived amazingly.
Enormous profits wore made by the leading woolen manufacturers, as high
as 300 per cent in several instances. Now they will have to take a leaner
margin and the people will he clothed at reasonable prices. There is enough
wool in the country to meet the needs of the trade for the next two years, and
in the meantime there's a big lot to be shorn this summer. t is the s;imt
with cotton which is now a drug on the market. In the Salt River valley
there are thousands of acres of the very finest long fibre cotton that
will not be picked. It was ready for the harvest several months ago
but it was not being gathered because thep rice was so low It would not pay
for the picking. It is the same with copper. There isn’t a copper mine now
operating that Is making a dollar, because copper has been selling under 13
cents a pound and It costs more than that to make it.
Gradually we will come back to legitimate levels and business will im
prove in volume. Of all the induHnes steel seems to be holding the best
but lower prices are now being Quoted and there have been reductions of men
and wages at some of the plants. These things are all incident to a read
justment that must take place if we are to thrive. We have to meet keen
competition from abroad where wages are lower and working days much
longer. Again we aire seeing German-made goods in our markets, and Ger
man-made toys ore being bought freely by American dealers because they are
cheaper than those offered by other makers. There's no sentiment in bus
' The United States is still the most favored of any land.. It has the
moat money, the most opportunities. It has plenty of food and clothing. The
coining wheat crop looks big. We are tit peace with the world. We will
