The victory of the socialists IN
Milwaukee is not one to alarm any
one; on the contrary. It was q protest
against mlsrule, against the alliance
OF big business interests with
politicians in order that both might
better exploit the people. So thousands
who perhaps had little sympathy with
the socialist philosophy Joined hands
with the collectivists in order to
smash misgovernment. And they
were right IN SO doing. They knew
the city had not belonged to its
people, that the municipal govern
menr had been a vehicle of Injustice,
and so the people forgot that they
were democrats, forgot that they were
republicans, and voted for change.
AS an evidence of how the people felt
a change was needed, there is the
significant result in the Fourteenth
ward Of Milwaukee, where four-tifths
of the votes are Polis5 Catholics, and.
although the democratic candidate for
mayor ls Catholic. the socialist
carried the ward. The people of the
ward are not socialists, they are
citizens, and so they laid aside every
other consideration in order to do
what they believed was best for their
city. The socialist platform was a
practical one, not composed of utopian
dreams, and the people determined to
see what a new regime will do. The
regime will probably not last, but its
going into power is portent of what
Is to come unless the old parties apply
themselves to real reform.

Tawney says Day runs the demo,
cratic machine and has ordered that
there be no opposition to Lindbergh.
Tawney doesn't know what he is talk.
ing about. There will be no opposl.
tion to Lindbergh because the demo-
Gratis of the Sixth district feel that on
the fundamental Issue Llndbergh Is
mostly right, and even if Mr.. Day
wanted a candidate, which he does
not, that candidate would have little
support and no chance whatever of
success. If Tawney were like Lind
bergh in his stand tor the things the
people want, he also would have no
opposition. Tawney doesn't realize
that the people at large are taking
these things in their own hands. So
long as Lindbergh cohscientiously
represents them, they will stand by
him. When he fails, Lindbergh will
come home to stay.

The conflict going on in the United
States is not, as one cynical observer
said, a struggle between the ms and
the outs, the outs trying to get in,
the ms trying to retain power. That
is the view of the political machine
man. The struggle, however, IS only
a modern phase of a historic conflict.
It is between the masses and the
classes It is the attempt of a few to
exploit the many, to make the mass
of the people hewers of wood and
drawers of water for privileged
class. The fight began ages ago, and
is still continuing, under many forms
and In various phases. With clvilza-
ton growing more and more COM
plex, with the play and interplay of
the industrial ana social forces, the
basis of all the struggles is generally
lost sight OF, but it IS the attempt Of
sel6shness to continue enthroned and
to perretuate favoritism and privilege,
that IS the real issue before the people.
And 1t is pity that good men and
true, knowing and feeling this, men
whose ideals are the same. should
allow the party name to keep them
apart, instead of uniting for the COM
mon good.

When Taft completes the packing OF
the supreme court, the American
people will be governed by a judicial
oligarchy, to be hardly shaken except
by a. tremendous political revolution.
The packed supreme court Is the last
and greatest citadel of corporate and
industrial monopoly. Yet the American
people, with their eyes open, voted
into the presidency man who was
certain to appoint judges who WILL
represent, consciously or unconsciously
the interests first. the people last.
The voters are, most of them, sorry
for it now, but 1t is too late.

- Another great democratic victory,
or, it would be more proper to say
another great victory for the people.
The election of democratic congress-
man Tuesday in a New York district
which had been republican for twenty
years was startling, although the cleo
ton of Foss in Massachusetts was the
harbinger OF political revolution.
Where they have been able to express
themselves, in Missouri, IN Massa-
chusetts and in New York, the
people have rebuked the administra-
tion. 1t does not seem that anything
could stop the rising tide of iudlgna-
ton over the selling out of the people
by the interests in control Of the
republican party. More than ever is
wisdom, honesty, and good sense
needed by the statesmen OF the
democratic party. That party has the
golden opportunity. Only foollshness
and fatulty, which would be criminal,
can prevent the democratic party from
achieving success. But it most
deserve 1t.

Who made it possible to cut down
Cannon's power? The democratic
minority in the house of representa-
tives, joined with small republican
minority. If the matter had heen
left to the republican administration
and the republican majority in the
house, 1t never would have happened.
The inference of the st. Paul Dis
patch, IN It's editorial OF April 18th,
that the democrats were culpable for
not wanting to depose Cannon is
unfair and misleading. Whatever the
faults of some of tho democratic
minority, on the great Issue of
Cannonism they are united, and it
anything so far has been cone to curb
the speakers power, it is because
the democratic congressman have
been willing to get together with
the republican minority.

The Noble Horse.
A request in an English school for
a composition on the horse brought out
the following gem:
'"The horse does not belong to the
rat tribe because it's paws are hoofs.
1t breathes with It's gills when it is
young and .chews the cud just like
other people. A mule Is a horse with
long ears, and If a horse had long ears
It would be called donkey. You can

Chinese Opium Smugglers.
OF opium smuggling in China Yum
nan correspondent writes: 1.-THE other
day some men passed through several
towns on the way to the capital with
three collins. In the first was a
corpse. The other two were packed
with opium. Being suspected at Yum
nanfu, the first coffin was opened, but
the carriers made as much noise as
they could for having their coffin
burst, and the second and third COT
fins were not examined. Quite COM
mon is it for men to travel in small
crowds, smuggling opium from the
province of Kweichau. They travel
by night only, by lantern light over
the mountains, and in the day hide
from any possible official searchers."

Now mark Things as they are.
What things? Our land laws being as
they are to allow the private grabbing
of titles to the source of all wealth,
and our taxation system, being as it
is, that makes it not only profitable to
secure these titles and hold the land
out of use until the needs of the
people drive them to pay a higher
price for the opportunity to produce,
out gives these titIe-holders, as q

by laws as they are, to tax industry

sit idly by or busy themselves in
devising ways and means to spend

criticism on what the congress did do

above that should be ''great good.
But it IS against what it didn t do to
show any attempt to do. The whole
thing is another illustration of the
truth Of the old saying. variously ex-
pressed that, Privilege will do any
thing for Labor except get oil its

effort to raise the value of land and to
advertise it; hut it didn't move a
finger towards distributing the profits
where they rightly belong.
And, as the people come to see ali
around 1t, the political boost to be
derived from it, 1t will not give any
particular cause for congratulation on
the one hand, or of worry on the
