Excerpt from The Lying Lure of Bolshevism
"We should set our faces like flint against the criminal leadership of the I. W. W.
"The Socialists and all the crew who stand for any form of either Bolshevism or Kaiserism have been warned that they shall not betray this nation.
"The simple truth is that the men who lead and give tone to the I. W. W. are more dangerous criminals than an equal number of white slavers and black handers.
"The Internationalist of the Red Flag or the Black Flag type is an enemy of this nation just exactly as much as Hindenburg or Ludendorff was before the armistic was signed.
"The utter ruin which the Bolsheviks have brought on Russia offers an illuminating example of the destruction which they would bring upon the United States."
The Great Divide.
"Something for nothing! They shall not pass!"
The high-brow Socialist cried.
"Down with the capitalistic class!
Up with the proletariat mass!
Hurrah for the great divide!"
"Something for nothing!" The Anarchist came
Fresh from the other side.
Alien in heart and alien in name,
Bankrupt in gratitude, sense and shame,
He shrieks for the great divide.
"Something for nothing! No work, high pay!"
The I. W. W. decide.
"Welcome the dawn of our sabotage day.
Unless we are given our sovereign way,
Destroy the machine, and set fire to the hay!
Hurrah for the great divide!"
"Something for nothing!" the Bolshevists yell,
Sweeping all order aside.
"Give us your lands and your goods as well,
Your all, or we'll send your souls to hell!
Now cometh the great divide!"
In Russia a wife of the great divide
Stands dazedly counting her dead.
Before her a barren grain-field lies,
Beyond her the smokeless factories rise;
Beside her the voice of Famine cries,
"Hurrah for a crust of bread!"
