limum lifo boat accommodation for 75, and also can the same be said of the sailors carried Thus in order to fulfil profit able function which is fulfilled mora economically and moro efficiently by the railroads, the steamers insist that the travelling public risk their lives in doing so, and because that
 genial condition is changed, raise howl.
 People wonder ct the objection
 which workers whose living is takeo
 from them by the intro q, ttion of improved machinery do from time to time raise against the new inventions. Yet it is clear that the existence of the workers
 depended upon the older type of technical apparatus which created no risk for any ono. Yet here are the profitoers who insist that ob. solcto methods prevail in great industry in order that by subjectinss the public to peril and extreme risk, their profits can continue, and their whine is echoed throughout the subservient prcrs that caters to them.
 It certainly is hard to beat it. Who said Safety Frsti.

It is interesting to read the ob- jections made to tho seamcn's bill which went into effect last Novem- Der. But none of these is moro sug gcstive than that registered by Geo. A. White of the Hudeon Bay line. and President of the Association of Passenger Steamship Lines.
 He said next year the boats will have a hard time Ono of tho vessels has a passenger capacity of 1900 or 1900 they will hcve to carry an enormous number of life bocts and sailors or cut their passenger c&pa- city to 75. The paCaenger carrying trade has been pretty hard Init any how. It's been an old axiom that steamships can't rcise their rates and compete with the railroads anu can't lower the rates and live.

A British mining company whose employees Arizona arc on strike for better wages is assessed under the British income tax law, since the war began, over half million dollars. Although copper has in creased in price and living condi- uons also, the company will pay no increase in wages because the Eng iish income tax leaves nothing for dividends, let alone such an increase as in demanded by the workers. Now why should American miners have to pay towards continuance of the European war and its eS- penses? And why should they net question the system that makes them do so? But is it not true that ind dustrial control also confers soc ial control-as witness this case.

The Campbell resolution to estab- dish a Federation to preserve interna- tional law is all right-on paper. But again what is international law? Who makes it? By whom is il ratified? By whom accepted?
 International law although sub iected to as many treatises as dog matic theology, is as mythological as an ancient fable. The law is discov- cred by some nation which has cer- tain interests to protect, and is drawn up to take care of those in forests. It has never been sub- jected to a national referendum for approval or non-approval. It if invented in the diplomacies of the world, with each trying to mode it's principles along national lines of favoritism.
 It changes from war to war and from ora to era. It is not tho same today as in the days of jolly rogers ard privateering. It will ccrtainl, change to accommodate aercplanes dirigiblcs and submarines. It ha: ;.iways changed to accomodate { shifting commcrcialism, and dollar diplomacy has cmcnded t quite considerably.
 International law is might, elastic thing when applied by Grea Britain against Venezuela. thu United States against Colombia, thu Great Powers against China. It i

When Joseph Hillstrom was exc cuted, the Industrial Worker sail that this was done not because he had been proved guilty beyond any fact that he was member of the Industrial Workers of the World Possibly most people thought that that was an exaggeration, and had no foundatios in fact, and yet we find that our contention is decjared correct by no less person than Governor Sp:y himself. Governor Spry on the morning following the execution, said that he had refuse ( to reprieve Hillstrom because he was a member of the Industrial Workers of the World. He mace nc bones about it; he said that he re- sarded that organization as having done more harm to the state than anything else, and he further de- ciared his intention to drive then out of the state.
 This certainly clears the air. 1; certainly shows what is what when a Governor in the execution of his duties, denies clemency not becau,e of the heinousness of the crime, ol even the certainty of the conviction mans guilt, but because of the ideas which that victim has held concern ing society; his economic beliefs and his conceptions regarding tht class struggle.
 Although Spry docs not know it in himself Hillstrom end his ideas whatever we may think of them linda certain amount of justifica tion. And when men are sent t. their death for their opinions in this age, we arc not in a post tion to denounce tho crueltics of th' prosecutions of past epochs. Givcr a certain number of Sprys in com munity and pogroms follow, as cer ,tain as the day follows night.

hold when chattcl slavery prevailed and with even moro justification.
 Southcrners, kindly ard generous men in real earncct With the hu- maner instincts bubbling full in their hearts declared that the slaves
 were kindly treated in the days ot chattel slavery, and could ask for no better or happier condition. They
 had good quarters medical atten- tion, were well fed and erred for, light work and generous attention. What is more the southern planters really meant it and could really mean it for oftener then not, he was a kindly man with no intention of ex- torting from the labor of his slaves
 more than human flesh could bear. But withal the time came when that condition had to be abolished and it was abolished, crd the estaD- lishment of an industrial serfdom in
 Juneau even when it kills tho az gressive instincts of lcbor fighting for emancipation with kindness will! in time have to give place real con
 ccpts of freedom. In the meantime
 there be crumbs from the table
 of Dives and who shall blame the
 hungry for making tho most of on opportunity while it lasts.
 However the Post is no longe: a socialist paper. It's ideals then can be reasonably accepted as bour-
 geois, and the well-fcd stomach of
 the industrial serf does not sccm to
 be such an impossible ideal to it.
 Some people like to cell their
 soul their own however, and where
 industrial freedom $ not, there, al-
 ways is the necessity existence for a
 labor organzation that will steer ond

TROOPS ON BORDER TO
GUARD COUNTRY, PRESIDENT
WRITES ANXIOUS MOTHER

WASHINGTON, D. C.-In reply to
complaints from Mrs Henry Smith,
of Winamac, Ind, who has a son in
the National Guard, President Wilson
wrote today as follows:
"Your letter of July % distresses
ne good deal because it shows that
you have not been correctly informed
as to the purpose of having the Nat.
ional Guard at the border It is not
for the purpose of drill, but for the
purpose of protecting the country.
The service the men are performing
there is an honor. to them and a ne
cessity to the United States L cannot
believe that the men in the National
Guard would wish to be excused from
II or would lose heart because of the
discomfOrts and inconvenience of the
service. ".. =zs..
The War Department has the
camps on the border under the most
careful inspection and is using every
means to make them sanitary and
safe against disease. The health re-
cord of the men on the border, both
the regulars and the National Guards.
men, is exceptionally good. ,.."..
j, Il would not have you think that
| do not sympathize with your dis
tress N the absence of your son, but
| beg that you take these larger mat
tiers into consideration"

ELECTIONS IN
HOLLAND PROVE
DISAPPOINTING

T." THE HAGUE, Netherlands, July 81.
The elections for the provincial
state councils of Holland, half of the
members of which retire every three
years. have Just been held, and the
results are interesting as giving an
indication of the composition of the
next first chamber of the Dutch par
lament, the members Of which are
nominated by these provincial bodies.
The parties on the left made several
gains, but the parties of the right
maintain the upper with an aggregate
of S12 seats against the go held by
their opponents, which means that
they are assured of maintaining their
majority in the first chamber. This
is the exact reverse of the position
in the second chamber. where the
general election of 1913 gave the par
ties of the left the majority upon
which the present extra-parliamentary
cabinet of Cort van der Linden leans
for its support.
The fact that the position of the
provincial councils are made praeti-
cally stationary is disappointing one
to the government, for the continued
predominant position of the right in
the first chamber is check on their
important legislative program for reyi-
SIGN of the constitution. including uni
versal manhood suffrage, the question
of woman suffrage, compromise on the
educational question and old age pen.
stems. ~.
One marked feature of the provin-
cial elections has been the progress
of the Socialist party, which won %
seats from tho Liberals of the left
and four from the parties of the right.
The Socialists already hold the bal
ance in the second chamber of parlia-
ment with Is seats out of 100, and
further substantial progress at next
years general election would make
them a very strong political force.

EXECUTION OF .
DEATH PENALTY
ROUSES WRATH

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina.-It has
developed that the attempt made to
assassinate President de le Plaza,
while ne was reviewing the centenary
celebration from the balcony Of gov.
eminent house on July ., as reported
by cable, had root in tire president 5
recent refusal, to commute the sen.
tence of two men condemned to death
for murder. The assassin, Juan Man
drini, VINO is believed to be of unsoun.i
mind, declares that he believed the
execution of the two men was "a legal
crime" which he felt called upon to
avenge. They were the first execu-
tions in the Argentine for more than
Is years, and with this exception
President de la Plaza had himself al
ways refused to sign death sentences,
but he refused to interfere in these
two cases because, he deemed the MUIR
der wilfuI one. ..-
The execution, has already prompted
opponents of capital punishment to in
troduce in congress a bill to abolish
capital punishment altogether e..
The attempt to kill the president,
On ShC ChC VI ldNOl
of the newly eiected radical candidate,
DR.. Irigoyer, created great sensation
in the capital. A great military pa
rade, which was one of the culminat-
ing features of the weeks celebration,
was just concluding in front of govern
ment house, where stands had been
erected for the accommodation of
spectators. On a balcony overlooking
these stands appeared the president
with the Brazilian ambassador, Dr..
Rarbosa, or his right and the Bolivian
ambassador, DR.. Villazon, on his left,
with various ministers Of state also
in the party. Suddenly man stand
ing en- the. pavement below drew a
revolver and fired, shouting, Down

the wall just behind the president.
He paled for moment, then calmly
"The man has only fired
a blank cartridge" In the meantime
people in the streets fell upon the
assassin and tried to lynch him, but
soldiers rescued him and carried him
off to prison. ... ...
