WHEN DOlIiTHIi.
Comes now a new definition of a j
doubtful state. In the political ■
judgment of William A. Gilmore, a
doubtful state is one that is certain
to vote for Hughes. That reduces
political forecasting to a line art.
VOTE "YES”.
The question of a general eight
hour day will 'he asked of each in
dividual voter at the coming elec
tion. Vote "yes”, and watch some
of the legislators try to wiggle out
of it.
PHEASANT FACTS.
The New York Times says that
everyone may contemplate the
pleasant fact that if all the gold of
tin- i --.i States were divided equ
ally that “each would have exactly
$24.80". And everyone may con
template with or without pleasure
the very certain fact that it is not
going to be divided up, and that the
same eight or nine per cent of the
population will still continue to hold
control over 95 per cent of it.
CAPITALIST LOGIC.
“Infant mortality is tlic yard stick
for measuring the height of social j
welfare and the breach of human .
-efficiency” said I)r. Emil T. Loebdani
of the health department of Mil
waukee. And it is not strange thaT
those who are demanding unrestrict
ed race production are the very last
to lake any stand for the protection
of the little on -s in the cities? That
is capitalist consistency.
OUGAMZING THK JAPS.
The proposal to organize the Jap
anese is one that will secure gen
uine approval from all who are in
terested in working class solidarity.
The wonder is that it is ever allowed
in the American Federation of La
bor, and the news dispatch an
nouncing that it is to be under
taken may be absorbed with due
caution and reservation. The Am
erican Fedration of Labor is too re
actionary, and in it are too many
politicians to incline one to the be
lief that the necessary step has been
decided upon.
The industrialists have long ago
accepted the applications of Japan
ese members and no better unionists
are found anywhere. But because
the Japanese were in direct competi
tion with the whites in many lines
the crafts sought to keep them out
of the A. F. of L. and then keeping
them out, dubbing the places where
they worked, unfair, expected other
white men to avoid their patron
age.
Certainly the Japs have got to
live as well as any white race, and
equally certain they will live in
spite of the white race in any
event. They are not an inferior
race. In many respects they are a
superior race, superior to any race
on the face of the globe. Only the
foolish will refuse to recognize that
fact. The American people may
not like to assimilate with the Jap
anesc. hut to American employers
the Japanese laborers produce just
as luscious profits us any Whiteman.
Hence they are met on the industri
al field l>y the workers. And the
attempt to prevent the Japs making
a living by calling the places they
labored in unfair, when the very
men who did so refused to fet them
join the union, showed that all the
unfairness, and a monstrous unfair
ness at that was on the side of the
American unions who sought in
their folly to make a little job trust.
Mow obviously the more sensible
thing to do was to recognize the fact
that the Japs were here and they
were here to compete with white la
bor. They have to do so to live,
-and the only thing to be done, that
in from a common sense point oi
view was to accept *the situation
and admit the Japs Into the union
and give them all the help that they
needed to better their condition. It
is hard to imagine that the Am
erican Federation of Labor which
has so resolutely fought labor in
stead of capital in the class struggle,
will for the occasion at any rate
sink its differences and unite all la
bor against capital in that struggle.
But if it is to be done, we can cer
tainly say that it is a big advance
and one that is as welcome as un
expected.
IMPARTIAL.
When the traction strike began
in New York, a young girl whose
father was a street car conductor
was arrested for wearing a sash
upon which was printed “Dont Be
Scab”. The girl was hardly four
teen and got a jail sentence. Sere!>;
some of features of New York li
berty need re-varnishing to make
them appear modern. The impar- |
tiality of the police and judges is a
thing to wonder at.
DAYTON IPliULB.
judge Dayton, tlie notorious, who !
just escaped impeachment hv the !
skin of his teeth and who did not
escape censure for his injudicious
acts during the West Virginia coal
strike, when lie constituted the
court over which lie presided, the
most effective strike breaking agen
cy at the service of the coal compa
nies. has just been upheld by that
puissant body the I'nitod States Su
preme Court which refused to re
v ew a contempt case against mem
bers of the coal miner’s organiza
tion.
That might have been reasonably
expected. Why should any court at
tempt to take any action might
affect the potency of a prerogative
which is responsible for four-fifths
of its power.
CENSORSHIP.
Madaulay in a memorable pass
| age declared that the remedy for
the evils of liberty is more liberty.
! That is all very well. Hut have not
1 some people constituted themselves
j by the Grace of God rhe proper in
i terpreters of what liberty shall be
allowed? Thus the post office offici
i als determined what is competent to
| pass through the mails and boards
of officious censors declare what is
| and what is not appropriate to be
I screened for the public.
There is quite a general tendency
upon the part of officials to distrust
the public. Those who hold power
and those who are privileged have
very little use for the maxim of the
English essayist. Their conception
of the cure for the evils of liberty
is less liberty and plenty of persecu
I tion and prosecution. It’s a not
new ideal. It is simply an ancient
tyranny wrapped in Twentieth Cen
tury garments.
