MOKE PEACE TERMS.
At any rate the powers have got
to that stage of fighting when to
talk of peace and to report peace
resolutions come within the mental
domain of ihe rulers. That at least
is something. When belligerents
begin to discuss peace possibilities
it is at least some sign that the
war is not going to last for ever.
It is true that it has every ap
pearanee of longevity. The nations
with fine skill have so ordered their!
houses that given food enough to
maintain existence, human beings
enough to bear arms and produce
munitions, the war can proceed to
indefinite lengths.
The beauty of this war is that it
has introduced the credit system
into its financing, whereby the fin
ancial side can cause no immediate
concern. Enough can be borrowed
to pay interest upon what has been
borrowed before, even though rates
of exchange collapse, and so the
system proceeds in a financial circle
plain people may teel is not all
right, but which none the less works
out all right just the same.
The complete interruption of the
ordinary peace activities would ap- |
pear to be somewhat embarasing
were it not that the pro
fit making perists In war
just as well as peace,
and thanks to the removal of free
and voluntary actions upon the
part of the people and a paternal di
rection upon the part of the govern
uent of the regular activities, the
recalcitrant are not able to do any
harm by way of interrupting the re
gular order already ordained for
them to pursue.
All these things make for per
manence and when the war shows
signs of being interrupted by peace
talk, it must be because there is
danger that the regular order of
things is in danger of rupture.
it may tie presumed that after
so tong a period of slaughter human
nature would weary of the struggle.
While triumphs and victories and
heroic acts may for the time being
condone the somewhat sordid kill
ing and maiming on the battlefield,
there comes a time when the loss
of kith and kin occasions the inter
rogating consideration wlicth r or
not all this suffering is worth the
price.
Even though the Israelites were
on the road to the Promised Land,
and to a Land flowing with milk
and honey, the sufferings in the de
sert solitudes and the privations ot
their nomad existence, led them to
sigh for the flesh pots of Egypt. It
was all very well to be God's Chosen
People, hut when the empty belly
set up a rumbling and a mumbling
of discontent, and the dry and dusty
Toute over the desert made the
children of Israel somewhat doubt
ing. the old time flesh pots eaten
oven under the slavery of Pharoah,
looked good to them.
Among the European nations they
have idealized war for a long, long
time. The one and the other felt
that they were the annointed of the
Lord to spread His kultur. His ci
vilization, or His democracy
throughout the world. They flashed
their swords and flared their ar
tillery in this noble cause. Victoria
Crosses, Legions of Honor. Iron
Crosses, Order of the Ula< k Eagle
and the Red were distributed to
those who had distinguished them
selves in .these great causes. God
many sided.and nationalistic, fought
with all. and the spoils were shown
to a people bent upon drinking to
the full the strongly intoxicating
draft oi the Conqueror.
The realities were perpetually
even from the beginning, corroding
the fine sheen of this steely ideal
ism. And the loss of loved ones,
the suffering of those near and dear,
the mutilation and maiming of
those strongly thewed and lust>
muscled men in their prime, seemed
to breathe a curse when the ideal
ists were at war prayers.
Sorrow, for the time, as sorrow
only for a time can be, was en
nobled—griefs, for the time as only
for a time griefs may he, were ide
alized. Suffering, for a time as only
for a time human sacrifice and
suffering may be, were elevated to
the heroic plane. But then came
Hunger just as great an iconoclast
as Death itself, tearing creeds ot
devotion to tatters; burning with
its flaming torches ancient preced
ents, traditions, faiths, institutions
and dragging back society by its
unshorn locks to primal altars ot
the God of Existence and there de
manding that Human Beings wor
ship as only human beings were
meant to worship the Power who
gave us the right to live, to move
freely and to have without let or
hinderanee our being.
Hunger was the reformationist,
as Hunger is always the revolution
ist, and when men go short of the
bread of life, men ask strange ques
tions. They began to investigate
the Kultur of society's militarism,
th<- Democracy of society’s war and
the worth of a Civilization which
attained its supermost ideals upon
the awful sacrifice of the battle
field.
In Germany and in tlie entire
Central Powers, in Great Britain, in
France and in Russia. Hunger Is
stalking through the land for all
the censorship, we may well know,
breathing iconoclastic fire from its
distended nostrils: dragging its red
cloud of terror by day and waving
the effulgence ot its flaming sword
by night and urging all to get back
to the primitive.
And hence the rulers talk of
peace Hence.also peace has come
within approachable distance and
near or far the end of the war is
a fait to he tangibly possible and
to be altogether probable within
measurable distance.
THE MOONEY SENTENCE.
Suppose for an instant that
Thomas .1. Mooney was a million
aire. Suppose against him as a mil
lionaire had been framed the per
jurecl testimony that resulted in
the present status of this man.
Suppose that these developments
revealed to a shocked public the
fail that tliis multi-millionaire had
been . sentenced to be hung upbn
testimony faked and manufactured.
Suppose that the Trial Judge in the
instance of the millionaire had been
so appalled by the awful miscairt
age of justice should sentence be
carried out and had appealed to the
Attorney General to ask the su
preme court to direct a new trial.
Suppose all these things in the case
of a millionaire as in the case ot
Mooney the labor unionist—How
long would it be before such a ce
il ues* would be preferred and such
a trial granted, and such a million
aire completely exonerated and
every corrupt and crooked official
placed where be belongs
But you cannot suppose any ot
these things which are possible in
the case of plain Mooney the labor
ite as being possible in the case
say of John D. Rockefeller or the
like. No person can. But evety
; person will indefatigably talk and
persist in orating upon the equal
ity of nil before the law. There is
a tremendous lot of people believe
tin theory that is seldom realized
in practice.
THE FOOD EOVritOBEKR.
How it may be in time ot war 10
discuss the acts of an official toed
controller as is one Herbert Hoover,
one cannot deny oneself the lux
ury of expressing an opinion upon
that advice to the rich to live on
luxuries exclusively so that the
necessaries may be conserved.
As far as we can judge that is
precisely what the well to do have
been doing with extremely great
satisfaction. While for a working
plug to eat grape fruit may have
been a hardly annual treat and in
the war time it might be less ma
jeste, we can be quite- certain that
the rich man will scoff up his
grape fruit with infinite gusto now
that it is done for God and country.
None the less we do believe that
that advice to the housewives to
be more economical is somewhat urr
necessary. The elusiveness of the
dollar has at length been equalled
by its elusive purchasing power,
and there is going to be no extra
vangance in the modern methods in
the home of the working stiff. We
hate heard of the preacher who
gave a nickel to the tramp and ac
companied his sweet act of charity
with the admonition “not to make
a drunken beast of himself with
the money”. There was no danger.
And so with the housewives today
or the working classes in general,
the high prices of all and sundry
things have relegated the extra
vagance of the workers only to tha.
abandoned plane achieved by the
Dublin boarding boss who told the
cook “T’Hell with poverty, throw
on another herrin’-”.
ORGANIZATION.
Men will be heart! to say that or
ganization does no good—that it
achieves nothing. Just a minute
please—v:hy then is it that so
many employers will do anything in
the world rather than see ihe un
ions in control? In what other way
can it be explained than that tlie
employers fear that union job con
trol means that they will be com
pelled to afford the workers better
conditions, better pay and bettet
everything.
So plain is this fact that the
wonder is that the workers them
selves should persistently ignore it.
The employer knows that without
[ organization of employers their
business cannot thrive as it will
thrive with it. The various consol
idations. amalgamations, business
associations, everything show tha‘
that the employers as a class are
fully alive to the vital need of orga
nization. And they are just as vi
tally opposed to the organization
of workers where they fear that or
ganization will be followed by a
working class strength which would
be irresistible. It is for that reason
fear of the power results from or
ganization, employers of labor in
so many places place themselves
like adamant against any idea ol
labor solidarity as exemplified by
labor organization.
