SHOULD NOT KICK.
Many papers as well as people are
kicking about the high costs of liv
ing, gouging monopolists, grasping
middlemen, extortionate rates and
what not.
The facts are very compelling,
but inasmuch as those people and
those papers stand for the mainte
nance of that economic system
known as capitalism, they have no
kick coming. If they insist upon
the precent system being all right
then they ought to get enough
sense to quit bellyaching about the
effects of capitalism which they see
around them.
Because John D. Rockefeller has
more money than twenty-one com
bined states, because Morgan has
more credit plus cash a! his dispo
sal than the United States govern
ment, because this man or that
makes a corner of the necessities
wheh the people need, because the
Entente has compelled American*
to go without food that its riot ol
blood and slaughter could he con
tinued—what are all these things
but manifestations of the system of
profit making from the labor of
others? And if one upholds that
system as to be maintained at all
costs, it ought to he enough out of
decency or If respect to compel
such people to quit their squealing.
To affect to believe that by air r
ii;e the degree of exploitation its
Kind can also he changed, is only to
lie entertained by a mind that dal
lies with futility. The facts that
one secs around ode and which fill
so much of the papers with lamen
tations make the lamentations of
Jeremiah like a triumphal snorting
in comparison, can be justified by
no person who supports the present
system. In fact what is observed
is that the system, which they so
enthusiastically cling to, is particu
larly rotten, inadequate, insufficient
and inefficient and they have neither
the nerve nor the understanding to
say su.
They are a bunch of squealers
who know they are hurt and have
not got the wit nor the nerve to
place the blame where it belongs.
Only the socialist who clearly
and beyond peradventure marks
■where the cause lies, proves it and
denounces it, is justified in de
nouncing all the many fearful ef
fects of that cause in the world be
fore them.
Upholders of the system should
not kick at the manifest and logical
effect of the economic forces devel
oped by the system. There they
are, the inanimate effects of a well
ascertained cause, the cause that
sets its supporters enthusing for the
up-lifters who claim to he able to
make water flow up hill and for the
darkness of night to be as clear ap
the noon day sun.
Every man, every grasping result,
every unseemly monopoly, every
abuse of power, every corruption ot
social influences that are complained
of, belong and are part and parcel
of the system. If the system looks
good to you, then do not squeal be
cause the system presses hard, upon
you—juBt say you like It. you ouglu
to, if the system pleases you.
DISCIPLINE.
This is a free country. At leasi
in theory it is supposed to be free
and for that reason the actions ot
those men who oppose the policy ot
President Wilson in Congress and
out of It. being subjected to a dis
ciplining is more than instructive.
Business men cancel a lecture to
be delivered by Lafollette; Cum
mins and Kenyon are to be burned
in effigy; Bryan is to have an In
vitation to speak recalled and so on
along the line with nauseating mo
notony.
It is beside the point that these
men are a minority who dared to
speak what they felt to be the
truth; it Is quite beside the ques
tion that they could not without
gross hypocrisy affect to do other
wise than they did. Because they
did not conform to the wishes of
the powers that be. they are to be
subjected to discipline.
Oh, this is not the first time that
such a condition has developed.
Any person who ran counter to con
ventional opinion and to the wishes
of the economically powerful has
had to suffer. Scott Nearing makes
a bad break in the University of
Pennsylvania and is canned; a J.
Allen Smith submits the national
institutions to scientific historical
criticism and a big howl goes up
for his removal from the University
of Washington faculty. These are
minor instances.
The number of men who have
been dismissed for daring to enter
tain an independent political opin
ion would fill an encyclopedic
volume.
As we see it, there can he no
greater reproach to the sense of
liberty among the people than when
they insist that men shall be pun
ished for daring to utter the truth
that is in them. That they cannot,
without utter self reproach, fail to
do. And the minute that public
men are to become public hypocrites
veiling their own belief under con
formation to that of the majority,
they bring the public life and the
public institutions at once into
contempt.
The business men who invited
Lafollette to lecture to them surely
will be none the worse for hearing
a man who* is at variance politically
with their firmest belief. It is by
the clash of antaginistic opinion
that the truth itself is polished,
j and to,, that alone as Max Muller
I so ably said must men hold as all
jtliat is worth while.
The absurdity of withdrawing
an invitation to talk from a man
because of his views on the inter
national or any other situation is
simply placing a premium upon
suppressing freedom of speech, but
that would be no new thing.
It has in all ages been the way
of those folks who wanted things
just a certain way, to come down
flat footed and try to silence those
who failed to agree with them. The
story of such effort is a lurid one
enough: it has gibbets and scaffolds
and stakes and headsman’s blocks
standing grim and threatening on
every page. And the gibbet and the
block and the stake became possible
of realization only after public
odium had begun in the small ways
such as was visited upon the public
men in the beginnings.
There is no questioning the right
of these public men to vote and act
as their conscience dictated. That
they had courage enough and man
hood enough to do as they have
done should be a source of admira
tion to every person in the country
whether they agreed with them or
not.
It takes courage to face a major
ity excitedly demanding to steam
roll measures through Congress,
and fanatically endeavoring to excite
contempt for every opponent as a
coward or a lagggard or a ^iraiior.
It takes some courage and of a
very high order to face that frenzy
and to oppose it and resist it and
to endeavor to thwart it. Which
is precisely what these few who op
posed the armament bill have done.
They may be right or they may
have been wrong In opposing the
bill. But they acted in opposing
It most assuredly right when they
followed as the truth which they
saw led them regardless of the
consequences. There can be no
question about that, and the efforts
to cast odium upon them 1b coward
ly and vicious but very natural for
all that.
It would be very exceptional if
such powers as aupport extreme
measures in the foreign policy of
the nation tolerated any opposition
at all.
