LETTERS TO EDITOR
ELBERT'S IN AGAIN

Editor Day Rockwell! Well! FL
bertus Hubbubus, Big Business pub
icity agent, has come out in the Elk
aminer and shown himself up. That
he is a scriVener employed by the
capitalists. Goodness. how they must
have roared when they read his arti-
Gle.
The title of his roar is big Bust
ness and Publicity by Default" He
uses the word default in the sense
neglect and he later refers to the at
lacks on Big Business by the great
labor leaders and Socialists of today.
Now Charles Edward Russell in
recent issue Of Pearson's Magazine
has published an article entitled
Caught With the Goods" In it he
proves that the Associated Press is a
news trust, censoring and classifying
news for Big Business.
Long-locks Hubbubus endeavors in
his squeal to hold up the Socialist
party and the laboring class to ridi-
cule by giving the following lists of
radicalists to make up the executive
power of the U. S.: ..
President, William Haywood.
Vice President, Charles Meyer.
Secretary of State, Upton Sinclair.
Secretary of War, Mother" Jones.
Secretary of the Navy, Emma
Goldman.
Secretary of the Treasury, Harry
Kemp.
Attorney General, Frank Tannen-
baum.
l venture to predict that if this
were reality these people would get
together and that the name United
States would mean heaven on earth
to live in to every foreign country
within two years.
Now let us answer a few rash
statements made by Elbertus.
Following the former quote is this
paragraph:
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-07-23

with hammers building a scaffold.
And the men who will hang first will
be big business men,"
Hanging is too good for the owners
of mills in which children are made
to work 10 and II hours a day and
sweatshop proprietors.
A little lower down, following some
historical high-brow chatter, is this:
To-day civilization is sitting on the
crust of crater, dangling its heels
and whistling Annie Laurie"
All, how true.
Another:
eff big business is a benefcient
thing, why not buy pages in the daily
press and advertise the fact?"
AS if they don't. For example:
The telephone company's magazine
advertising. Usually about the rot
tenness of the European service and
the excellence of that of the United
States.
"They will never get fair deal I'M
til they meet the falsehoods of the
agitators and give blow for blow"
"Agitators" and 'falsehoods," pc
.culiar words to use, very peculiar.
There is no going back to the rule
of the competent few
Rather say incompetent few"
Popular government is here. If
we are ruled by the worst, we must,
through education, evolve that
worst into the best"
admits that his employers are incom-
petent.
CAS- a matter of self-preservation
we must make the worst tolerable
and tolerant. Also, we must be toll
Grant"
Quoting the constitution, "An men
are equal" According to Elbert they
are not.-D. L. Day.

PENNY PHONE LEAGUE

Editor Day Book:-The committee
on gas, oil and electric light at their
last meeting postponed the subject
of the Automatic-Bel telephone mer-
ger until the first meeting in October:
The officers of the Penny Phone
League were requested to submit a
Evening star., 1914-12-21

definite sum was stipulated as an option
obligation in the document signed by
killifer. A specified sum of $500 was
named in Johnson's 1914 contract, Civ
ing Washington the privilege Of re-
newing the contract in 1915 at the same
terms provided the two interested par
ties could not mutually agree upon new
salary terms.
James Z. Gaffney and William F.
Baker could see nothing but great
legal triumph in Johnsons return.
Possession is nine-tenths of the law,
said Gaffney. "JohnSon returned of his
own free will to fulfill contract obliga-
tions. Those obligations were not one
whit modified by the Federal League
negotiations. He returns the Federal
League money. as did killifer. and the
case is closed.
Frank Farrell. who was directly i'll
terested in the Johnson case because of
Ray Caldwell, hopes that Walter S
action may influence his stray pitcher
to avoid legal proceedings.
Il would not be at all surprised said
Mr.. Farrell yesterday, IF a great many
major league players are influenced by
Walter Johnson's action to :ibrogate
their dealings with the Federal League
hackers
