SOCIALISM AND WAR

The war not only has played the
deuce with the Socialist abroad
ranging in arms against one another
those who have been protesting that
national boundary lines were obso-
lete-but has set them by the ears
in this country as well.
Charles Edward RusseIl's stand for
greater military preparedness here
has opened up a schism within the
party, where the radicals are found
lined solidly against any increase in
the army or navy, while many Of
the milder sort are seen leaning
backward toward nationalism. One
parlor Socialist even writes a thesis
to prove that desire for a moderate
success for the allies is not incon-
sistent with Socialist doctrines. An
other evidence of the leaven within
the loaf is the announcement Of
Meyer London. the Socialist Repre-
sentative in Congress, that he is not
opposed to reasonable preparedness.
The plain fact Of the matter is that
Socialism, in war, has come up
against one of those characteristic
ally human facts which are the bane
of all Utopians. War is a fact. It
may take generation or a century
in which its existence is CLOSED over
to assert its reality. But when it
comes it is there and nobody is in
any doubt about it.
You can explain why there should
be no war, why there will never be
another war-but then comes war,
and your idealistic arguments go to
pot.
SO it is with the spirit of competi-
ton, with ambition, with that fierce
law of the survival of the fittest.
You may say that all men should
work together as brothers without
strife, without rivalry, except in we'll
doing, without forging ahead at the
expense of somebody who falls be-
hind. But just then some one gets
kicked in the face and there is war
or trade competition or envy or
something else that it has been dem
onstrated should not and could not
exist.

MURDER AND TRADE RE-
STRAlNT

When there has been and still is a
reign Of anarchy in this country
caused by tools and agents Of for
eign powers literally swarming ev-
erywhere, there is something su-
premely ridiculous in the effort of the
United States Government to try to
end such condition with a mere in
dictment for conspiracy in restraint
of foreign trade. No matter how i'm
portant the men indicted are-and
among them are former Represen-
tative in Congress and former at
torney general of Ohio--this is just
as true as if those indicted were only
guttersnipes.
For, if the Governments charges
are true, trying to bribe labor union
leaders, engineer strikes, tie up ship
ping terminals and shut down man
ufacturing plants has not been the
thing which has all but rocked this
country on it's foundations. Virtu-
ally every count in this indictment
for conspiracy in restraint of rsde
covers an act or meditated act
which can be taken care of without
lnsuperable difficulty, certainly with
out great disaster to property and
life, by those operating the private
plants and common carriers.
Putting Internal machines in ships
freighted with human lives, dynamit-
ing mills and factories. plotting and
committing deliberate arson and
cold-blooded murder are things
which it is impossible for private
citizens or private corporations to
control when Government cannot or
will not take such conspiracy bv the
throat and choke the life out Of it.
We don't mean that these men in
dicted by Federal grand jury yes
terday have committed or instigated
the Internal crimes which have been
endangering both public and private
safety to an unprecedented degree in
the history of this nation. We do
mean that to center the fire Of the
United States Government on such
cases with charges of restraining
trade when the thing which cries
for action is to stamp out the great
er and more hideous crimes is
sickeninp mockprv

THE SUFFERING HEBREWS

Perhaps the American people do
not quite realize that approximately
one-half of the Jewish population Of
the world lives in Poland-or did
before the war. That is, in the vari-
Gus German, Austrian, and Russian
provinces which made up old Poland
before the partition. The Jews Of
the world are very largely within
the immediate areas of war. They
are everywhere the first and most
obvious victims of whatever oppres-
sion may be in mind; and if the
Jews might be segregated into a
community by themselves it would
be very apparent that they have
borne grievances such as neither
Belgians nor Serbians have known.
Washington ought to give hearty
support to the movement to raise
an American fund of $5,OQO,OOO to
help the unfortunate JSwih victims
of the war. New York raised
81 100000 at one great meeting;
Washington surely should do pro-
portionately well.

RURAL SCHOOL PROBLEMS

Among the most difficult problems
Chat educators of this country now
are working on is that of rural
schools. In cities vocational educa-
ton has been emphasized, and so
much has been printed on the sub
iect that the fact is apt to be over
looked that, in rural districts, the
problem of affording children an
elementary academic education has
not yet been solved.
How changing social conditions
are reflected in educational life was
aptly illustrated in the address Of
Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker, presi-
dent of the General Federation of
Woman's Clubs, before the Ameri-
can Civic Association yesterday. One
unexpected handicap under which
the rural schools now labor is the
difficulty of getting places for the
teachers to live. Formerly the
teacher and the minister were the
high lights Of a rural community.
It was considered an honor to
board" the teacher, and no trouble
was found in getting her an agree
able home. Now, in many communi-
ties, few can be found who will take
her in. The result is an added handi-
cap to getting good country school
teachers, in addition to the poor pay.
Mrs. Pennybacker suggested a
novel remedy. She would have a
school manse" corresponding to the
parsonage in which the clergyman
lives. Around that school home"
she would form community center,
a sort of rural social center, which
would supplement the class room
work of the teacher The expert
rnent would be an interesting one to
watch. 1t would require more of the
teacher, who already complains she
IS not paid enough for what she does,
though it would insure her a suitable
home. Dependent members of her
family, or other relatives. might live
with her. But the success or the
failure of the scheme probably
would depend largely upon the per-
SOnality of the teacher.

OUR GROWTH IN SHIPBUILDINd

The New York chamber of COM
merce, investigating the shipbuild-
ing industry in this country, finds
that we have been doing quite lot
of construction, for a country that
imagines itself without a merchant
marine. In fact, the yards have been
turning out about 1900 vessels a
year in normal times; but there has
been great variation in annual ton
mage construction; in 1908 the figure
was $4,000, while in the year ended
June 80 last, it was only 225,O0O.
Wars real effect in stimulating
shipbuilding has been felt since the
beginning of the current fiscal year.
The yards are abnormally busy, and
yet the owners report that if there
were demand they could increase
their capacities from Is to 60 per
cent. There is little confidence that
the present increase is more than
temporary; the probability of an
American shipbuilding industry COM
peting permanently with that of the
Old World, under normal conditions,
is accounted poor, unless special eff
fort is devoted to it's encouragement.
The shipbuilders are confident that
supplies of labor and materials are

FRIENDS OF CHANCE
EXPECT HIM TO WIN

Friends OF Merritt O. Chance. Post
master of Washington. 1t was learned
today, are hopeful OF his confirmation
despite the activity OF his opponents.
They point out that the opposition
to.Mr. Chance proceeds primarily from
one or more persons who are trying
to get the office for themselves. While
those persons have drawn others into
the contest, most of the activity is
said to he by the former.
Several Democratic politicians whose
names have not been uncovered are
understood to be seeking the office.
President Wilson is said to favor
Postma ster Chance. One of the things
In favor of Mr.. Chance is that the
present session will run on for many
months. He will hold until the eni
OF the present session without further
action, unless he is actually rejected
and rejection is unlikely. Before the
session ends, the situation may shift
so that confirmation will be possible.

. VILLA TO THE BRUSH AGAIN

Francisco Villa, in / characteristic
ally grandiose pronunciamento, an
0ounces that he has changed his
'Hind. He is not going TO give up
ighting, leave Mexico, and allow
Narranza a free hand to reorganrze
the country. A short while ago he
vas going to quit and get out; hut
he finds that the very men to whom
he resigned have betrayed his cause,
so he will stick.
Villa is potent to cause endless
trouble, if he shall adhere to his
now resolve. There was a time
when he looked to Americans like
the big man Of Mexico; but since
1he tide OF fortune has turned
against him he has shown more and
slore the tartar under tne skin; the
bandit rather than the ;iberator.
! Whatever may be thought of the
treatment accorded to Villa by the
Washington Government-and il is

Uttered strong treatment of what
thc politicians call the double
cross is nevertheless within rea-

GRIP DANGER SIGNALS OUT

An epidemic of grip which has
been lurking in places north ane
west of this city is fast getting &
hold here and unless preventive
measures are observed and obeyec
the dangerous ailment may become
general in these parts.
The gist of the preventive meas
ures recommended by health authori.
ties is:
|. Don't sneeze or cough in your
neighbor's face
l. Keep out Of crowds. If you have
only a short distance to 20, walk.
The christmas crowds at the fes-
tivitiea, parties, shopping, and in
crowded trains have caused the
present outburst of grip.
J. Sleep with the windows open,
though the nights he cold.
T. Leave whisky alone.
There is no specific cure for the
dangerous grip. Prevention is the
thing. So look out!
