Russians). Our soldiers ceased firing
and were Immediately met by volIey
which knocked a dozen men over.
Our men were furious enough to
butcher their own parents. They sur
rounded the Japanese and slaughtered
every one of them, giving no quarter.
The next night a similar incident oc-

words We are Russians, our men re-
fused to cease firing. Luckily their
shooting was bad, for the Japs' in.

swore in Enthusiastically genuine Rus

found that we had been firing on our
own men. A number were severely

Gence can be gathered against them.
This has been true in our own coun-

man does not receive as his birthright
the fitness to govern people of an
ether race. Often it seems as if he
had a peculiar unftness fer such
dominion, since racial arrogance and
antagOnism lead him to behave as
he would not dare to behave 10 those
whom he regarded as his equals. But
though such atrocities, by Belgians or
anybody else, ought to Ice brought to

be slow TO condemn the Belgian gov

share Of the evidence on the subject
were the work of rival trading com

The Teachers Union.
The Practical Effects of Organized
Teachers in an Illinois Town.

The Practical Effects of Organized
Teachers in an Illinois Town.
They have a teachers union in a
town in Illinois, and the effects of
it are just beginning to be felt. A
teacher whipped a child: the board
Of education discharged her; the
other teachers, finding their scholars
demoralized by this incident, struck,
and refused to resume their work
till she was reinstated. The teachers
won.
This is a particularly good instance
OF the kind of government we are
likely TO have in this country if pres
ent tendencies continue for twenty or
thirty years. The right OF the teacher
TO reinstatement rests, of course. on
the question whether she was forbid
den by law TO use corporal punish
nient 1t is possible that she was.
and that she broke the law in a case
where she thought il was necessary.
That would be setting I'D the right
OF private judgment over the law Of
the land. which is one of the pc
culiarly dangerous tendencies of our
CIVILIZATION at present. especially
when Sustained by an organization
which is not a legal authority, but
has the force of One-the union.
On the other hand, it is possible

within her rights; else why should
the other teachers have SUSTAINED her
in doing so? They would hardly
have the temerity as a body. one
would think. TO assert their right to
do something which was forbidden by
law. In that case it is to be supposed
that the relatives of the child had in
huence enough to have her dis
charged; another possibility which is
rank with danger to our institutions
the assertion Of special privilege by.
somebody close to the ruling power.
How many teachers are there in this
country who would dare punish a
child Of a member Of the school board
as severely as they would punish the
child Of a street sweeper? There are
some places where it can be done. but
more where it cannot. In that case.
the union vase q good influence,
though an unauthorized influence. It'll
made for discipline among the chill
dTcn, but not subordination to the
school board on the part of the teach
crs. IN short. this incident is a very
pretty little illustration OF several
different dangers with which Amer
lean government is beset. If school
affairs are hereafter to be settled on
the union principle, however, it may
be rather better than school politics
have been hitherto. The school at /
fairs OF the average town are simply
honeyccmbed with problems Of in
luence, social position, personal pref /
zreEce. and pretty much every other 7
possible condition except the fitness
