BY N. D. COCHRAN
Which Was Ignorant?-I read
little story in the Tribune Sunday
which made me .hink. A man whose
name was given as Ralph Radke was
arraigned before Judge Newcomer on
the charge of distributing handbills.
He was fined SIS.
According to the Trib, Radke said:
81 have no. home. The world is my
country. My religion is to do good
to my fellow man." ~
eff all men would quit work and
agitate as you say you have been
doing for the last six years, how
would we eat?" asked the Judge.
''That is a ridiculous supposition,
said Radke. 81 am working to edu-
cate the workers so that they will get
rid of the capitalistic system. They
must take possession of the means
of labor" s.
81 am afraid your economics is not
sound" suggested the court.
81 know as much about economics
as any man in this room," said
Radke. 81 have read Marx, Kropot-
kin, Proudhon and all the rest. 1
challenge the court or any other man
or woman you want to name to de-
bate their system of economics with
me-"
Of course, Judge Newcomer didn't
accept the challenge. He had all the
best of it. He was a Judge, and Radke
wasn't. So he soaked Radke SIS.
Now l don't know either Radke or
Judge Newcomer from one of
Hearst's bales of cotton, but I'll gam
BILE that Radke who was fined could
have made Judge Newcomer, who
did the filming, hump himself in an ar
gument on political economy.

ligion is to do good to my fellow

Important if True-"Public Safe
ty," an interesting local magazine,
prints good picture of Roger Sulli-
van on the first page this week, and
underneath the picture are these
words: ...s-.s,
Roger C. Sullivan, Biggest Man in
Illinois Today-Victorious in Defeat,
He Is Yet Capable of Naming and
sElecting Chicago's Next Mayor"
That may be true. l don't know.
But if it is true, where is democracy,
with small d? had a vague sort
of notion that the people of Chicago
elected their mayor.
If there is any man in town, no
matter who he may be, who is pow
erful enough to name and elect Chi
cago's next mayor, then all this talk
about government of, by and for the
people is bunk.
If Roger is smart enough to pick
Democratic candidate whom ma
jority of Democrats want, and then
a majority of the people also want
that nominee for mayor, then Roger
can name and elect the next mayor
only in the sense that he guesses
right on what the people want.
If he were powerful enough to name
and elect any man he might pick out,
without regard to what the people
might want, then that would be too
much power for any man to have in
a democratic community.
After all, and in spite of their dis
position to flock like sheep, the peo-
pie do the electing, even if party lead
ers or bosses do the nominating
through control of party machines.
