HE, WHS WASTES A
CRUST OF BREAD
I'nice Sam is telling Brother John,
what President Woodrow Wilson
said regarding "Make Relieve
Patriots.”
o o o o <i
In a recent speech made by Presi
dent Wilson, he declared "1 sometimes
wonder way men even now take this
flag and flaunt it. If X am respected
1 do not have to demand respect. If
1 am feared I do not have to ask for
fear. If my power is known I do not
understand the. temper, of men who
use this flag boastingly.” There are
a good many people in this world to
whom l£ii|s advice should prove of
value. There are those who use the
flag as a sield. Alany editors have
used tlie flag to hide their dirty jour
nalism. Some of these are well known
and their patriotic and flag waving
stunts deceive no one. Some of them
even froth at he mouth and wrap
themselves about with Olid Glory, but
nevertheless it makes their journalism
not one whit more respectable.
The people have found them out. and
a. dozen editorials filled with Ameri
can flags would not restore them the
reputation of clean newspaper men.
Patriotism and ideals not necessarily
go together. The scoundrel at times
tries to be the biggest patriot, just as
some of the biggest crooks have sought
t roptection in the church. Wilson
may wonder "why men even now take
the flag and flaunt it," but if he had
been at Lawrence', at Paterson, at
Ludlow, at McKeeys Rocks, at the
West Virginian coal mines, at Ever ■*?,
at Risbee or at a dozen other places,
where similar instances occurred, when
the great industrial struggles th ;e
were at their heigth he w uhl have
found a ready answer. The flag was
used for a purpose it was used to
prejudice one set of peop’e against
another, ft was fores ! to cover the
multitnde of brutal acts I erpetrated
against -the strikers. The gunmen hid
behind it. It was an excellent medium
to wear the public sentiment from the
strikers and the cause they n present
ed. And in some ins*.mcos it proved
unite effective. It is for that reason
often that “men use the flag boast
fully."
Besides there are certain deluded
persons who consider that proper re
gard for the flag necessitates rubbing
it in on all occasions. But formal
demonstrations can be overdone, and
the people are fast losing faith in
these demagogues who seek to hide
themselves in the folds of the flag.
WAR WHAT FOR
The great world war which is now
on threatens to engulf the human race.
Already millions of human lives have
been sacrificed to the canscienceless and
insatiable greed of modern capitalism
as typified in the personalities of the
various government-, throughout the
World. For manv years the labor
movement of America, England, (Jer
oeaf ears again »nd agajn that such a
conflict was inevitup-i if capitalism
The conquest of the earth for private
gain—was allowed to continue in its
greed—blinded course. The labor
movement of Amariea, Englunl, Ger
many, Austria-Hungary, France, Rus
sia, Italy as well as in other smaller
countries, nerved by the growing ten
sion and warned by the heaping signs
around them, are making heroic efforts
to devise ways and means to bring
about a speedy termination of the
“Blooly Conflict." What the end will
be can only he most dimly prophesied,

■ but it is felt, and it is devoutly wished
for by millions all over the world,
that it must mean the utter destruc
tion of militarism
Out of the chaos labor will emerge
stronger than ever before. The world
will have an object lesson of the in
human result of modern capitalistic
brigandage that will never ba for
gotten- Every human, being whose ]
sop! in : died by I!;:.-: damnable and
inexcusable sacrifice of human life fori
the "glory" of the class will be forced '
to turn to reason to finu even a prom- !
isc of that peace, prosperity and good j
will to men of. which humanity has I
ever prated. For competition Is war,
whether human beings are sacrificed i
on the battle-fields or in the sweat-:
shop and mine, and the international I
bloody conflict, now raging is the log-!
ical result of the race of nations for
new territory to exploit and for Coin- j
mercial supremacy In the ever les
sening markets of the world, if wo
are really intelligent human beings, if
we have the least iota of right to
claim a superiority over the brutes of
the forest, it is time we proved it by
not only stopping this slaughter of the
■ human, race, but we should wipe out of
existanee the last vestage of the un
holy system that is alone responsible
i for the horror now convulsing the
1 world.
FREEDOM
I It was the immortal Tennyson who
! sang many years ago of the "Parlia
ment of mankind and the Federation
I of the World; '" it was Thomas Paine,
’ revolutionist and phamphieteer, who
] declared “The World is my country;
to do good is my religion, and mankind
are my brothers," while Victor Hugo,
poet, Philosopher and novelist, almost
prophetic wrote; "A day will come
when the only battlefield will be the
market and the mind open to new
ideas. A day will come when bullets
anl bombshells will be replaced by
votes, by the universal suffrage of na
tions, by the venerable arbitration of
a great Koverign Senate which will
be to Europe what the Parliament Is
to England, What the licit is to Ger
many, what the Legislative Assembly
is to France. A day will come when
a cannon will be exhibited in public
museums, just as an instrument of
torture is now, and the people will be
astonished how such a thing could
have been. A day will come when the
two immense groups, the United States
of America and the Fnitel States of
Europe, shall be seen placed in the
presence of each other, extending the
hand of fellowship across the ocean.
Hugo did not live to see the Ger
mans for a second time march up to
the gates of Paris, to see millions of
men in conflict on French soil, with
hundreds of thousands of their number
slaughtered on the battle-field or sent
home crippled to their wives, mothers
or sweethearts.
Hugo was an idealist and a thinker
In his ideal or the future state he
voiced his everlasting opposition to
war. But the world is not ready to
listen to the thinkers and philosophers.
It prefers to listen to the noisy clamors
of the war lords.
When humanity shall awake to a
realisation of the terrible calamity
which all the preparations for war
| has brought about, it perhaps will be
[ready to listen to such men as Tenny
son and Paine and Hugo and others
who voiced the aims and asperations
[of an awakening of public conscience.
. . All the games of old will be there
and it will be lots of fun to go
against them. If will remind some
of us how foolish we have been in
the past.
