Show NEARING SUSPECTED. The home of Professor Scott Nearing at Toledo and the headquarters of the I. W. W. in the Ohio city have been raided by the federal authorities and documents seized. Professor Nearing belongs to that class of intellectuals whose brains are not strong enough to stand the strain ' put upon them, with the result that he is no longer useful as an educator of youth, and is spending his time lecturing to the undesirable element iu the United States. He was one of the select crowd of cranks and marplots in attendance upon the conference con-ference of the People's Council of America for Democracy and Terms of Peace at Chicago, and probably is laboring labor-ing under the hallucination that he is an apostle of light and goodness, and that could he but impress his views upon up-on the minds of the masses the millennium millen-nium would be at hand. As it is, he has spoiled his career and is now suspected of being something more than a crack-brained student of Socialism. |
