On a In, -n.r Day the Xew York
stock exchange experienced a tre
mendous flurrj and one day later,
following a gigantic selling raid, the
Wilson note and Lansing statement
•were made public. Financial writers
thought that queer and and Lawson
said that it was not only queer but
crooked.
Just a little less than a month
previously, there had been a re
port “from unofficial circles’’ that
the President and his cabinet would
act with the Vatican in trying to
bring about an armistice before
Christmas. That was in all papers
but without authority. Stocks fell
quickly in the stock exchange and
a slump was commented upon. The
very next day however it was official
ly announced hv a t’nited Press dis
patch "President Wilson and his
closest advisers have been in a series
of conferences of quick succession,
and it was decided this afternoon
not to make any definite move to
wards obtaining peace in Europe at
this time" That ended the selling
raid and the stea ks rose to higher
proportions than ever in rouse
ijuelire.
Now this is all a coincidence. But
it is so impor xnt that others than
Lawson thught it worth an investi
gation. This idea that the- king can
<!o no wrong has successfully con
cealed main tcrio.cs transgressions.
w 11i-iin-: nn lc is i m iy.
There is a pleasing unity of opinion
footworn tlio German roports of con
slit ions in England and English re
ports of conditions in Germany. A
lit-rlin dispatch via Sayville says
that although the British are mak
ing every effort to conceal the fact
discontent is very rife in Great Bri
tain and the “Stop the War propa
ganda is spending everywhere. Lon
don says that peace and food riots
still increase throughout Germany
giving the militarists the greatest
concern. It is to be hoped that both
reports are correct in detail, it would
show some glimmerings of sense in
all this war fever.
yVESTION or OPINION.
The Federal Reserve Board's re
port that New York manufacturers
wore unable to keep pace with the
orders received because of a labor
shortage a prompt denial from the
State Bureau of Employment. The
Bureau said that there was no short
age; that there was an actual sur
plus of help and could supplv any
and 11 manufacturers with desired
later if 11,■ ■ y would pay the prevail
ing rati of wag.,.': till.- the Bureau
'artier said referred to skilled or
mskilh r It said furtlu r t
ht'iv.nso many employers did not pay 1
lie uarket price for labor, they had
gone short.
But the employers from their point i
of view arc right. They know that
what is meant by a labor supply is
not just sufficient men lo do the
work, but enough to fire and hire
anil fire and liire just as often as
they pleaes. A gang going, a gang
coining and a gang working, is the
ideal condition and when that does
not exist there is a shortage. There
is only a gang working and par* of
a gang coming and going now and
• hat is a labor shortage.
Does the State Bureau of Employ
ment in New York not know that
the present system could not last, a
day, nor half a day nor a quarter
if there is only enough men for the
jobs in sight. Labor would then be
independent and under such condi
tions could boss the job. That
would be the ‘end of your capitalist
system.
STILL IN VOGUE
C. A. Shillinger was arrested at a
lake port charged with stealing a
compass from the ship lie had been
oil. The penalty for that offense is
hanging from the yard of arm of his
vessel. He is to he tried at Indiana
polis. What will happen Schillinger he
cause his ship has no yards, the law
which is of 1 790 vintage, does not
say. The case is mentioned to show
we are still overshadowed in legal
procedure by the lonfe dead past.

iti:h \mi.itati\<; mokmokism.
Once on a time Mormonism was
I everything that was disreputable.
! Polygamous prostitutions, third de
j gree spying, secret torture, private
; vengeance and unspeakable tyarnny
l were laid at the doors of this detest
| able theocracy. Hut not now. The
■ execution of Hillstrom has changed
jail that. The mere fact that Hill
1 was an I. W. W. member, a poet ana
an agitator covers a multitude of in
iquities. One touch of repression
makes all capitalism kin.
TWO CLASSKS.
There are just two classes. Those
who own for a living and these who
work for a living, it is painful that
the former just now should be so
hard pressed to discover why the lat
ter should for them work
more than eight hours day. Will
encroachments upon privilege never
cease?
WHICH IS WHICH?
—
And now with six progressives ap
pointed on Uie Republican National
Committee the interesting problem
arises will the dog swallow the tail
or will the ta*l absorb the dog.

I a most peculiar thing that ignorance

maybe it would be peculiar if it
wasn't. You can take your own

CONGRESS RACKS.
Congress is not in any such rush
to pass the compulsory arbitration
law as it is desired by President
Wilson. Industrial peace might save
I he administration from humiliating
cxpcr: -net's, but that is hardly sufli
. ieut justification for unconstitu
tional legislation. For whether the
courts would declare such uncon
stitutional or not. common sense
says that it means involuntary surv
itude. Would Wilson make it illegal
for a boss to fire a man? Guess not
NOTHING 1.1 KE LEATHER.
Henry Ford advises the breweries
to turn their plants into establish
ments for tlie production of de
natural alcohol. He says that in a
short time such will take the place
of gasoline to drive autos and trac
tors. Which is enough to make
John I). turn “wet”.
THE CHEERFUL PROPHET.
Professor Sprague of Harward says
that for ten or fifteen years after the
war. because of the destruction of
European capital and its productive
capacity, the prices at the close ot
this war will be fully maintained.
That is cheerful news for the aver
age man who is hard set just now
to make ends meet. But that fifteen
years is quite a long time, and he
would he a venturesome indeed who
would calmly admit that labor will
accept the present situation for fif
teen years without any change—for
that is what the Sprague statement
is in reality. The trouble with these
jniversity professors is that they are !
addicted to regarding present day |
I institutions and systems as eterne.
AY A NT IDEAS.
They are trying to boost the
Churches in Milwaukee, and the fed
eration of ministers have what they
call a “Go-to-church Sunday”. They
boost this day for all it is worth but
without very much effect. Now they
want to pay ten dollars for the best
idea how to boost the Go-To-Church
Sunday. All of which seems to in
dicate that ideas are at a premium
among the churchmen themselves
which may explain somewhat.
I*R< >TKCTION.
There is protection and protection.
There is protection lor property
and protection for the person. Of
the latter illuminatingly stands thc
cxample found in the case of one
Ed. I\ Okingham.
This man Okingham was a strike
breaker. He killed a striker in the
copperfields of .Michigan in cold
blood. That was in 1913. lie was
bailed out and tried and found guil
ty of murder of the copper degree,
the jury making it second degree.
The Court in sentencing him said
that it sought somewhere and some
how for some excuse for the foul act
but throughout all the evidence
could find none. It was a brutai,
deliberate cold blooded murder and
sentence was imposed accordingly.
But the gunmen are to be protected
and when gunmen ran short in New
York Governor Ferris pardoned Ok
ingham. Okingham rises to fame
again in having been at once given
a job in his “profession”. Here is
a subject for a novel entitled “ndm
trial preparedness and protection”.
M. AIK M>.
It will be well to receive with some
reservation the Lawson charge that
M'Atloo is the man responsible for
the leak as to the Wilson peace note
Not. that his position is too high or
that such officials have been always
above suspicion. There is another
reason. M‘Adoo has handed the
higher ups among the top capitalists
a bunch, and he is In especial dis
favor by reason of certain activities
of himself and the Comptroller ot
the Ourrence in regard to the Higgs
National Bank. The latter is really
Standard Oil, and is of the highest
court of financial imperialism. That
Lawson would be an ideal man for
High Finance to make use of to un
horse M'Adoo is only too possible
and very probable. Therefore the
proverbial grain of salt will hardly
be sufficient with which to take
these assertions regarding Lawson’s
exposure.
