ISOM I( AMI OTHER I*LOTS.
As every reader of every news
paper knows for the past year, men
have been arrested in connection
with alleged bomb plots and each
particular arrest was made the pre
text for an inflammatory editorial
upon hyphenated lawlessness.
Not only that, but there also came
to light a number of “confessions’
and still practically none of these
accused have been prosecuted ana
practically none convicted.
The public is interested to know
if these are just fakes inspired by
a business-seeking detective trust,
promoting terrorism that it can fatten
its purse thereupon. Everything in
dicates that at least four-fifths of
these stories have been promulgatou
broadcast with that intention. The
American detective agency is some
noble institution.
KOI11) IN NK1IKAHKA.
Nebraska has followed Michigan
in supporting Ford in the primaries.
Likely enough Nebraskan republi
cans have neither the expectation
nor the wisli that Ford will receive
the nomination, and that they were
mildly courteous to a man who has
done somewhat for peace. At any
rate it shows that there is a strong
pacificist tendency deep in the
hearts of the American people that
may not be quite clear to those who
have had their ears pounded with
the noisy shoutings of fanatical
jingoists.
AN INTERESTING ARGl'MENT.
It's not often that higher wages
obtains much of an innings in a
capitalist paper; but now and then
it does. Still wo never remember
to have read such an interesting
article as that which a well known
railroad-influenced journal puts for
ward submitting tho advisability of
granting the railroad brotherhood's
demands.
It is quite true that the article
was apologetic; that it had that un
mistakable tone of making the best
of a bad job. and indicate without
much cover that the railroads were
preparing to back down.
This paper arguos that even if
the railroads concede the railroad
employees higher wages, thereby
increasing the consumptive capacity
of the workers they will also pro
mote industrial activity and hence
greatly increased railroad earnings.
The demands of the railroad
brotherlfrods necessitate a large
sum says the article, but most 01
that will be spent in turn by the
railroad men in necessaries and lux
uries; that will in turn stimulate
other industries give increased em
ployment all round, and thus pro
moting a general prosperity make
for better conditions for every one.
The article carefully avoids any
too deep an analysis of this fore
cast, and where they refuse to tread
we cannot afford to step in.
But the devil can quote scripture
for his purpose, as the Bard opined.
WAR AXI) SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS
This war is not all a bad thing.
It lias its good points. It is giving
thousands three squares a day who
novor had one square a day regular
ly before in their lives. It is keeping
millions clad who never were fitt
ingly garbed before in all their ex
perience. It has substituted a round
of excitement in the trenches for a
round of rest and pastime not
wholly to be despised by the modern
factory or industrial worker who
risked life and limb for nothing
like the present life he has discover
ed The men who are the last to
kick about the horrors of war so far
have been tho men in the trenches.
That's significant enough, but it’s
true. However the war also has an
other side. Troatmont of wounds
and sanitation has progressed in the
warring countries as it never pro
gressed before. They have discover
ed many improved motohds of hand
ling fearful wounds, and the treat
ment of tetanus is now practically
on sound basis. Moreover the very
latest is a certain scrum cure for
cholera which a French army sur
geon has discovered.
If the war keeixi on long enough
medical and surgical progress will
be such that after the war is over
and peace is restored, men will have
to go to war again in order to have
the old and useless die: we will be
come a world of immortals. It’s
wonderful what care humanity take3
of itself when providing for gun
fodder.
FINK PARTNERSHIP.
John D. Rockefeller Jr., is the
author' of an address ‘‘Labor and
Capital—Partners". But the author
didn't give an accounting of Ills
stewardship showing how as the
partner Capital he acquired millions
and labor is still in want. But his
stuff sounds good and mighty famili
ar—so familiar that it might have
been a Civic Federation address by
Samuel Gompers.
The gentleman from 20 Broad
way had no trouble at all in show
ing that Labor gets the best of the
partnership all along, and that it 1>
[Capital that is cruelly wronged, suff
ers gross injustice and has to endure
legal judicial and social disabilities.
It's poor capital that should be com
miserated for its hard let, while
Labor has been fattening on thf
best and the fat of the land.
The comunity of interest between
capital and labor in the partnership
which Rockefeller described is sim
ply cemented by the fact he did not
mention because so trifling that la
bor produced all wealth for the
other elements to enjoy. Most any
one would tolerate that sort of a
partnership, if they were those that
toiled not nor span.
THAT’S SO.
President Hibben of Princeton is
prepared to prove that one thousand
Americans have been killed in Mexico
since the civil disorders started. It’s
remarkable where ho gets this from.
Any reasonably-memorled person
knows very well if they have been
following the Hearst Mexican news
service that several million have
been slain during that time. One
thousand? At least a million, Hib
ben.
MILITIA NEEDS.
It is very important to notice from
an article in tho Juneau Empire that
Governor Strong is interested with
Manager Thane el the Gastinueau
Mining Co. in the establishment o;
a militia in Alaska.
Doubtless Thane has wise recol
lections of the part played by a Co
lorado militia in the labor troubles
in the coal districts, and he very
distinctly approves of that kind ot
preparedness will make the militia
an appendix of the industrial
chiefs.
Why Governor Strong so vehement
ly enthuses over the militia propo
sition is not quite clear, unless the
contingent influence of the Thanes
and that ilk has supplemented the
powerful void felt in all guberna
torial hearts for the lack of proper
military display around the man
sions of superior territorial eexeu
tives.
WAITS FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.
The result of the inter-tribal war3
in the past history of the world re
sulted in a few dominating the land
of the world. The land was really
the means whereby people lived,
and without access to the land there
could be no existence for the musses.
People did not live by bread alone,
but mighty near It.
Our economic system is now much
more complicated. The land Is only
a secondary part of even food pro
duction, for machinery has enable ', i
very small sections to produce a !
very great deal and scientific agri
culture has practically assured that
the world can always raise more
than sufficient for itself.
Today the real control is vested
in industrial proprietorship, and
financial greatness and it will be an
interesting question to consider
whether this war will end in piling
the wealth of the world into the
hands of a few. If it does then the
rest will be dominated by that few,
just in the same measure that im
perial or regal domination of the
land made all the rest of the people
in any tribe or nation the subjects
of kings or emperors.
Now there are so many petty
financial kings that true rulership
may be subjected to dispute, but if
tilings pan out after the war as the
money kings expect, the supremacy
of a handful will remain for ever
unquestioned.
It is to hoped so, for then the
change will be made inevitable if it
is not inevitable in any event.
TIME IS RIPE.
According to a statement made
after the Youngstown strike by
Basil Manly one of the Industrial
Relations Commission, the country
is rotten ripe for one of the biggest
industrial wars that ever has been
seen He is not an optimist and he
says that ten per cent increase wii!
not avert a series of general strikes
which will affect the nation at large.
Unless big changes are made in
working conditions; increased wages
granted sufficient to meet the in
creased cost of living, Manlv fore
sees that it is only a matter of lime
until industrial activity collapses in
a demand for more pay on the part
of labor.
lie instanced conditions where
he has looked for troubles and found
that they came eventually, and he
reviews the general situation to
justify his somewhat cheerless
prophecy.
But Manly need not be uneasy.
Capital is not now asleep. When
Capital has to give into labor it does
so with good grace. It heralds its
generosity to the four corners of
heaven; it makes use of a sweeping
publicity so that all will know about
it, and even now the signs are that
wage increases are becoming gen
oral. Not large increases but just
! to keep Labor quiet.
But this struggle for bettor con
ditions is an endless one. Soon with
higher wages the price of those
things that abor makes soar beyond
(lie wage scale paid, and there must
at length be reached a time w'hen
beyond this wage increase cannot
go. It's then that things will be
stirring, and maybe a world war will
be needed to restore former condi
tions.
WILL NOT BLUSH UNSEEN.
“It is conceded that the second
Division dominated the Convention”,
says a newspaper dispatch speaking
of the republican convention at
Seward. Verily none of these poli
tical flowers are born to blush un
seen.
