THE BASTILLE
It was good to src the govern
ment ship come sailing into the
roadstead Sunday morning, gaily
bedeck 'd, in celebration of the Fell
of the Bastile:
"For Lo; the dread Bastile,
With all the chamb rs in its horrid
towers
Fell to the ground., by violence
overthrown
Of Indignation.”
There is something almost mild
mannered in the words of Words
worth in relating one of the great
est of events in the world’s history
and the actual capture by the peo
ple of that towering despotism that
stood for something more benumbing
and torturing and stifling than cells
of stone and iron. Nor will we
ever forget that the destruction of
the Bastile wa3 brought about not
by any other class than the masses
of Paris: the despised hoi polloi, the
canaille, the sanscullottes as they
themselves in the grimmest kind of
irony termed themselves.
While the bourgeois and respect
ables were uncertain as to how to
act and indeed regarded with horror
the idea of violently attacking this
dreadful symbol of autocratic power,
the masses assembled and under
the influence of the oratory and
example of the more determined
among them, captured tho royal
prison and ended its career of ty
ranny.
Tho capture of tho Bastile may
thcroforo be regarded as the first
victory of the submerged workers
to succ ssfully exert themselves
against enthroned tyranny. While
tho bourgeois in their conventons
and tlioir congresses and in their
Salles were indulging in wordy de
lib rations, the masses acted and at
one stroke, laid low the power of
monarchy for all time in France.
With monarchy went serfdom and
the feudal laws, and altho there
was an occasional int rruption in
the tenor of popular gov rnment and
now and then a king or an emporor
held sway for a breathing while,
France has never gone back to the
inglorious condition of feudal ser
vitude fastened upon the people.
Today France is a bleeding
France. But today even on account
of the fierce battles for existence
which the great republic is fighting,
the Fall of the Bastile stands out
for what it really is with a brighter
glow. The darker the hour, the
brighter the beacon lights that in
spire men. And we know that the
inspiration of the French democracy
is not the less b cause they know
and feel that the bastiles the world
over must for ever fall as a result of
the victory of France and America
and their associates in this yrar.
Indeed if t is not fought for a
larger freedom, for a mightier range
of popular power, for the ending of
the government by the few' over the
tho many, for the final abolition oi
oligarchies, this war they know well
would not be worth fightihg.
THE KEN NELLY CASE
The Industrial Worker is unaf
fectedly pleased at tho outcome of
the United States versus Martin
Kennedy, The verdict of acquittal
■was expected, and the verdict reflects
public opinion. The man in tilt
str ct could have told officials that,
long ago, and the vigorous Ameri
canism of tho sturdy jurors in the
case left no one long in doubt as
to the manner in which they viewed
tho chnrgo.
Honestly to r.n outsider, to make
the dispatch published, in the paper
the ground work of a criminal
prosefcution in far-fetched in tho
eminent would have a dozen cases
in every city.
| When the German driva began,
extras poured upon the. street of
each city outside with all kinds of
local or corresponded opinion as to
the battle. One paper would head
its sensational front page with such
startling lines as “Huns Break Thru
Allied Lines,” “Britons Fighting
Bravely Forced Back With Stagger
ing Loss” a id so forth and so on,,
all more or loss inaccurate, some I
grossly inaccurate and some having
merely “the adumbration of the
truth." What sort of estimate have
officials of the citizenry of the coun
try if the ctory of a magnified Ger
man victory is to bo considered pub
lished with intent to excite discon-;
tent or hostility against the govern
ment? Surely as evfery one knows,
it is just such a stcry that will
excite the determination of the peo
ple, will nerve them to greater ef
forts, and stimulate every energy to
activity to win the war. To in
sinuate that it would have a con
trary effect is to libel the community.
Common experience justifies this.
It is conceded that the German
drive with its startling advance, didj
more to complete the success of the
Third Liberty Loan than any other
thing, ar.d the government officials
admit it.
It is something notorious that
the reports of a successful German
air raid, true or false was imma
terial, did. more to stimulate en- j
listments in Great Britain than any j
one thing, ar.d the sxtrao 'dinr.ry;
feat of raising a volunteer army of'
almost five million men in England j
ear, b • traced In no small measure
to reports of German victories often •
wildly exaggerated in thems< Ives, j
It is high time that officials rp
pointed or elected showed more
confidence in the attitude of the
people and should romemb r that at
war or not at war, this is a govern-1
mnt of I lie people by the People
for the people, and further that the
confidence of the nation in the
government is greatly strengthened
by the confidence of officials in the
people. No man, it is said with
satisfaction, hrs shown this more
unmistakably than President Wilson
and while others and some of them
high enough in political circles,
were abusing and libelling labor,
th" President was seeking greater
and greater co-operation with labor
and with the happiest results. Any
other policy might have seriously
hampered tbs rational activities in
the prosecution of the war.
We cl a not think that there is any
question as to the fine Americanism
of the jury which tried this case.
And the short time that they were
out indicates that the District At
torney. Mr Mundv, bad properly
estimated the futility of a second
'time going to tho expense of a trial.
We do not know why the District
Judge insisted upon the case being
heard again. That of course is his
privilege, although it is not often
that a mo'ion to dismiss upon the
part of a pro?:cuti"g attorney fa
miliar with tho eases which have to
, be tried, Is denied. The government
! hag been put to considerable expense
j but we don't know but that the dc
| fondant and his brilliant counsel.
I are the more satisfied now that the
1 defendant has been completely vln
! dicated by a jury of American citi
zens. And, allhc it is very fre
' quently forgotten, the real object
| of a fair and impartial trial is that
justice be done, net necessarily that
j zoalous official adds another.' scalp or
•convictiors to his official career.

HOW NOT TO DO IT.
War and the grind of the day’s
work sometimes got fairly sensible
men to the point of declaring that
they will shut dewn the yard, mine,
or factory rather than “recognize”
some anarchistic element in the
local union. There has hem a lot of
that sort of talk lately in connection
with copper mine and shipyard
troubles. Now, the average Ameri
can workman is neither robber nor
lunatic: Labor rows nearly always
have a real cause, which is worth
looking for. Ard whatever that
cause may be, it can bo talked over
by all concerned. If a man works
for you, he is plenty good enough
for you to talk with regarding that
work. An employer who does not
obey the labor laws of his state
or who does not maintain safe con
ditons in the plant, is an anarchist
himself and should wear the red
flag in his buttonhole. The keys to
industrial peace are justice and
wisdom. Why not use them and
ea3e the strain?—Colliers.
