Capital has no right-and so far as I
know does not claim the right-to coerce
labor. II il does make this claim, Gers
tainlyth claim cannot be justified. For
the same reason labor cannot eoerce capi-
tai, the poor cannot coerce the Tlch. Men
often seem to forget that II is the inherent
and inalienable right Of either to deter
mine whether the terms offered by the
other shall or shall not be accepted, Capt.

9 Prof George Heron. of Iowa college at
Grinnell, Ia. is another of these educated
social incendfaries. Recently he was
publicly rebuked by the governor of
Nebraska for saying in his address at the
commencement exercises OF the uniyer-
sity Of Nebraska that call know there is
no justice in the courts: that il there is
anarchy every where it had its origin in
the COURTS
These professors. these preachers and
teachers, like Reed. Ely and Heron. are
largely responsible for such men as Debs
and his igaoFant followers; they have
justified the outrageous assumption that
a tyrannicai trades union led by lawless
leader was above the law; they have told
the masses that sthere Was no justice in
the sourts;" that law was only another
name for injustice, and have stigmatized
Jesus Christ as an anarchist.
II IL a pity that such educated" In
cendiaries cannot be punished as they are
in FRANCE. where recently the minister Of
public instruction removed a half a dozen
socialistfc professors. Some Of them had
been acting with the militant socialists, -
who are for immediate destruction OF all
government. Including. OF course, govern
uent schools. One Of them presided at q
socialist meeting in Mines, at which the
ministry and all government aasd the
whole social order were violently de-
noanced.
The new law against anarchy recently
enacted by the French assembly contains
an article which provides that every per-
son who shall be convicted of taking part
in the anarchist propaganda by exciting
20 attacks on persons and property. shall
be liable 10 imprisonment for period
ranging from three months to two years,
q provision that would certainly cover
such a speech as that made by the Rev.
MyFon Reed in Denver. Men of education
who preach such incendiary doctrines that
rich men are soulless oppressors and that
a corporation is crime are most vicious
duA 1AhkThNA1 NthAAkoNAc1p VINO are as
potentially responsible tor such men as
Debs as the Duke Of York was for Jack
Cads.
In violent contrast with this socialistic
preaching of the educated incendiaries are
these words of robust good sense from the
New York Sun:

longed 20 one Of the fixed sociai gradations
OF an aristocratio system. when he is a
member of \ society in which all are

almost wholly held by men who began

In this country tbsrs are no classes.
. There Is only one class. and al the citizens
belong TO it. To speak OF labor as dis
ttnct social classification Is ia outrage the
spirit and the principle Of our institutions.
