DEPLORABLE STATE OF AFFAIRS

Labor Unrest and Business Depression Due to Bolshevik Senators. The American people can thank the Republican bolsheviks in the IT. s. senate for the disturbed condition of the country, both industrial and business. The uncertainty of and unnecessary delay in ratifying the peace treaty is causing havoc all over the country, disturbing business and creating unrest. The stock, grain l and cattle markets are fast becoming demoralized, and still this bunch of Neros continue to “fiddle” with utter disregard to the Interests of the entire civilized world or what is going on about them. It is almost incomprehensible that the desire to play politics at such a critical time as this should overweigh all sense of the patriotic duty of this bunch of public servants (?). Their names will go down in history with the Benedict Arnolds long after the present generation has been gathered to its fathers. ,
