WILSON’S CHARGE.
President Wilson charges that
foreign born citizens in the United
States are trying to blackmail poli
tical parties to act in favor of for
eign governments.
Whether in substance that charge
can to a certain extent, be verified
or not, is immaterial, the fact re
mains that President Wilson has
shown that political parties are not
above the supicion of being amen- ^
able to such blackmail. It does not |
whitewash the affair any to use the ^
suggestive verb blackmail instead of ,
the equally suggestive one to bribe. |
It is an unfortunate circumstance {
for the political parties of the Un-;
ited States that a large proportion
of foreign born citizens should have
so low an estimate of the political
ideals of the democrats and repub
licans that they should expect them !
to be swayed by their influential
vote. It is hard to get away from
this rather embarrasing corollary ot
the Wilson theory.
A CHARITY TRUST.
Some time ago the New York
Commissioner of Charities reported
upon the disgracefully filthy and in
decent conditions that existed in
Catholic and Protestant orphan
asylums, carried on strictly under
religious supervision and under the
name of sweet charity and religion.
The good and holy clergymen
tried to whitewash the affair and to
discredit the report of Commissioner
Doherty.
The Mayor stood back of his offi
cials and charged that there was a
conspiracy upon the part of the
clergy to thwart the administration
of justice, and to prove his conten
tion he had the wires tapped of cer
tain prominent religious men and
the conversations over the 'phone
taken down.
Then at a public inquiry one or
the clergymen, Rev. Monsignor
Dunn declared that this was a p’ut
upon the part of the Standard Oil
and Russel Sage Foundation to se
cularize the charitable workings ana
put the religious hous-s out of bus
iness. I m
We dont believe the charge—at
least not against Standard Oil.
Standard Oil knows very well that
it can use religious men and reli
giouB teachings too effectively for
that. Didn't John D. donate a brand .
new Catholic Church to the coal
miners at Derwind, Colorado in co- :
operation with the Rev. Forster and J
doesn’t the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Co’s Bulletin for April 26 show an 1
illustration of the architect’s plau1
for the building which were most
graciously approved by the Rocke-'
feller?
The last thing John D thinks of ^
is secularization of anything. The
more roligion his employees have
got the better he likes it. To quote
from the Bulletin. “Mr. Rockefeller
suggested that in every camp the
churches should be the dominating
structures both in location and ar
chitectural treatment”
Shame on Monsignor Dunn to
wrong such a high-minded man!
w SILVER.
The good old times when the
country went crazy over the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1 hallucination,
may have gone never to return.
But Silver is again rising and caus
ing those people who have to> much
money a little uneasiness. Thus
the Mexican dollar is now above its
gold standard relation, and an Eng
lish economist says that it will nov
pay to import Indian rupoes be
cause sliver is of higher value than
the circulation redeemable in gold
calls for. In the meantime the pur
chasing power of the gold dollar is
rapidly diminishing and the fluc
tuation is becoming so serious that
j soon works on bi-metallism ana
| other anteuqated idpas will then be
I emanating from the students or
financial theories to perplex ana
side track the wage slaves whose
last concern is really gold or silver
values.
ASHAMED OF IT?
Jacob Schiff he, that once made
I the trip to the Yukon and was
! driven off by the bayonet charges ot
I the mosquitoes, was talking before
| a Jewish Publication Society and he
i urged them to forget ‘‘this Yid
dish.” It has no values; as a
l language it was used only by their
j race and only a portion of it at that
and he instructed them to learn a
language common to the gentile3
such as English and to discard Yid
dish altogether.
For entirely different reasons and
from a wholly different stand point,
one can say without qualification
that what Schiff said is right, and
applies to all who perist in speak
j ing their mother tongue where that
j is different to the national lang
I
I
I
I
uage.
The greatest of all impediments
to a closer union of the workers is
this fact that they speak so many
and so different languages, and are
kept apart from their fellow work
ers who do not understand then.,
cannot in turn make themselves un
derstood, and remain unsympathetic
notwithstanding the common inter
ests between them.
The world would be better off it
there was just one tongue, one flag,
one nation—one common brother
hood of man. And every little lang
uage that insists upon being spoken
is a sundering wedge which keeps
those who speak it apart from the
rest of the human family.
It is improbable that any ve.'y
great progress will be made in this
direction mainly because many edu
cated persons are themselves poly
glottlsts ai d can talk a variety c t
languages. They are at home any
where and they appreciate and un
derstand the sentiment and feel
ings aud the ain.r. and ideas of
those who are diffeient nationa/ity
to themselves. It is different w.th
the workers they speak a variety ci
tongues to be sure but each little
nation is clinging to its mother
tongue and all are kept apart by
the lingual barrier.
This is the real secret why it is
an observable fact that many work
ers affect to despise other workers
who do not speak the same lang
uage as themselves, and such terms
as “bohunks' etc. are made use of
to express the speakers’s own, oftea
and generally erroneously conceived,
superiority. Unable to understand
the language they are naturally un
sympathetic and the lingual barrier
rendering communication imposs
ible, there is no solidarity where
solidarity should exist..
KIRKPATRICK: PROPHET.
Geo R. Kirkpatrick is socialist
party candidate for Vice-President
of the United States. He foresees
a fearful panic when the European
munition markets are denied Amer
ican munitionists upon whose ac
tivities at least four-fifths of the
present so-called "prosperity” is
founded.
However while it Is likely that
there is a grain of truth in this as
far as the munitionists are concern
ed, there Is no reason for such a
conclusion with regard to other In
dustries.
Far otherwise: the United States
lumber industry, its coal and iron
and structural steel Industry will
enjoy boom times when the work of
re-building and reconstruction of
the destroyed sections of Europe
will begin.
There will be an efTort at wealth
production surely made In order to
recoup for the war losses, in which
although a non-belligerent, the
United States must share. That’s
how the immediate conclusion ot
peace will result to our surmise.
But there is bound to he one of
the most collosal panics that the
world has ever seen follow later on.
When the mad rush to share in the
profit-making, long denied European
industrial lords by reason of the
war, reaches its zenith a collapse is
bound to come because of the strict
ly limited sphere of the available
markets. What will happen then
is enough to give any prophet pause.
