THE WRONG WHIP
, ~ I fc ----
Lion tamers make a practice of car
rying a whip in either hand when en
tering the wild beasts’ cages. With
the whip held in the right hand they
punish the lion when he is disobedi
ent or pugnacious. But with the whip
in the left hand they merely threaten.
Curiously enough, the lion merely dis
likes the right-hand whip, but greatly
fears the left-hand whip; he knows
the right whip from experience, but
the left whip holds all the terrors of
the unknown. When he turns, snarl
ing, under the right-hand whip, and
would spring, the upraised left-hand
w’hip sends him cowering to a far
corner.
Similarly, organized labor has faced
the American public w’ith a whip in
either hand. The public is well scored
and welted with the right-hand whip—
the w’hip of strike, riot, disorder and
property loss. But when its anger
deadened the sting of this whip it al
ways recoiled from the uplifted left
hand w’hip—the whip of a general
strike, a tying up of a basic industry,
a removal of the agents of law and
order.
The bare mention of these has al
w’ays been sufficient to call up horri
ble pictures of bankruptcy and com
plete cessation of industry; starvation,
and mobs rioting for bread; murder,
pillage, cities in flames; and—dread
ful word, only to be whispered—revo
lution. Repeatedly the unions have
lashed the public with unreasonable
demands, enforced by strike, w’hile
the dreadful left-hand whip chilled-the
public anger with menaces of w’hat
labor w’ould do if affronted.
Sometimes, however, in the heat of
the moment, the trainer strikes the
lion with the wrong w’hip—the left
hand whip. Then he is indeed agile
to escape alive from the cage. In
stantly the king of the jungle perceives
that the left-hand whip is only a whip
after all; that it has no more real
pow’er to stop him than has the right
hand whip. Then he springs upon his
trainer.
nas uiftctiiizeu wuui,
power, struck with the wrong whip—
the left-hand whip, the whip of gen
eral action? Has the public experi
enced the same disillusionment as the
lion? England had a general strike,
and life went on and business went on;
what though they limped? Babies did
not die, factory doors opened, the gov
ernment stood. Because the public
went into engine cabs and switch tow
ers and demonstrated by courage and
initiative its title to stand amongst
free and independent peoples.
The steel industry—a basic indus
try, indeed—was threatened with dire
punishments by the representatives of
practically all their employes. It gave
battle. Todafy the fiery breathings of
labor’s captains are become gentle
sighs; their camps are emptying, and
it is shown that the “representatives”
stood largely for themselves.
The misled police of Boston left
their posts in a “strike” designed to
terrorize the city into acquiescence
with its demands. The city was not
burned, nor did crime and disorder pre
vail longer than a space of hours. The
citizens armed themselves and proved
that freemen could keep their house
clean.
The public and the lion have been
victims of fear of the unknown. But
a disillusioned lion and an awakened
public are alike dangerous to those
who face them. The public is suffi
cient unto itself and need turn from
no class or clique. Like truth, it is
mighty and shall prevail.-jrBoston

AUSTRALIANS PLANNING
SYSTEM OF DEFENSE
SYDNEY, Australia, Oct. 24 (by As
sociated Press).—Important and far
reaching reforms in the defense sys
tem of Australia are advocated in a
report now being considered by the
federal cabinet. The report is the
work of an advisory committee of ex
perts, several of whom held com
mands at or near the front during the
war. The committee points out that
with the world in its present condi
tion of unrest there is no real guar
antee against war, and it emphasizes
the vulnerable position of Australia.
It recommends a concentrated
course of citizen force training cov
ering perhaps three months in a year,
under conditions approximating those
of war. It further recommends or
ganization of the commonwealth mili
tary forces on divisional lines and the
formation of machine gun and other
new units sufficient to constitute six
infantry and two cavalry divisions;
establishment of divisional headquar
ters and skilled skeleton staff; an air
service; and development of personal
actfVities to insure a reserve stock
of ammunition and to enable Australia
to manufacture munitions.
SPORT DOPE
OF GENERAL
CHARACTER
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The Northern Califor
nia open golf championship tourna
ment is to be held on the Ingleside
links here immediately after the
Thanksgiving invitation tourney of
the San Francisco Golf and Country
Club.
It was first proposed to make this
a 36-hole event, but the “pros” were
unanimous in preferring that the open
championship of the state should be
decided by the regulation 72 holes,
which is the supreme test of the game.
SASKATOON, ~Sask., Oct. 24 (by
Associated Press).—The Western
Canada league, which had a success
ful season, has decided to expand to
a six-club circuit in 1920. Calgary
and Edmonton have been added, and
it is rumored that if this circuit is a
success an eight-league club, with
Vancouver and Victoria in tfc(e fold,
may be arranged for 1921. Baseball
came l ack with a roar ai the Cana
dian Northwest this year.
Seattle, Oct. 24 (by Associated
