TRUE DEMOCRACY.

Few people take the trouble Of
finding out what democracy real
ly is. Yet this would be a great
help. for it is our lawless and
uncertain thoughts. it Is the in
definiteness Of our Impressions
that ill darkness, whether men,
tai or physical. with specters and
hobgoblins. Democracy Il moth
ing more than an experiment In
government, moro likely to sue
ceed in a new soil, but likely
to be tried in all soils, which
must stand or fall on its own
merits as others have done be-
fore 1t, for there is no trick Of
perpetual motion In politics any
more than in mechanics. Presi-
dent Lincoln defined democracy
to be 1.-The government OF the
people by the people for the peo-
pie" Theodore Parker said that
democracy meant not I'm 40
good as you are" but You're 40
good as I am" And this is the
ethical conception Of 1t, neces-
sary al a complement Of the 9TH
era conception which, could Il
be made actual and practical.
would easily solve al the rid
dies that the old sphinx Of DO
litical and social economy who
sits by the roadside has been
proposing to mankind from the
beginning and which mankind
have shown such q singular tai

WHERE THE TREE
GETS ITS WATER

The active feeding roots Of a
tree are not near the trunk but
out on the very ends Of the new
roots. In watering a tree it
does not do much good to just

COURAGE FOR RIGHT.

Sir, 1t Is NOT tOr me, an NUM-
BILE and uninfluential individual
at an awful distance from the
predominate influences. to sug-
gest plans Of government. But
to my eye the path Of our duty
is as distinct as the Milky way
all studded with living sap
phires, glowing with cumulat-
ing light. It is the path of ac-
tive preparation. Of dignif1ed en-
ergy. 1t is the path Of 1776. 1t
consists not in abandoning our
rights. but in supporting them
as4GlAey exist and when they ex-
ist-on the ocean as we'll as on
ths land. It consists in taking
ths nature Of things as the
nneasure Of the right Of your

eiEa1es Of imperious foreigners.

way, New York City.
Dear Sir:
The boast is openly made by Mr.
Hedley and Mr.. Shonts, in control Of
the rapid transit system of New York
that they can break up the union OF
street railway men if they have the
aid of the police.
. May l call your attention to the fact
that these men, controlling the sub
ways, the elevated roads and the sur.
face lines, are counting on combina-
ton of the police and notorious
strike-breaking firm to take away from
the regular and experienced street
railway men the ri<ht of effective or.
ganization. l submit with this an ac-
curate statement of Mr. George P.
West of the staff of this committee, to
substantiate this characterization of
Berghoff Brothers & Waddell and the
great majority of the men whom they
iemploy.
From personal experience with in
dustrial disputes elsewhere, it is as
clear to me, as l have no doubt it is
to you and your associates, that the
| financial heads of the whole rapid
transit system of New York City have
struck against their employees and
against the public; that they have
tyt4 IA, t-iI IN, will f,,l &c
regard of the rights of the men and of
the people Of the greater city and of
their own pledged obligations.
Permit me to suggest that while this
controversy is on, the protection of
the law should be thrown around the
human rights and the property rights
of the men who have been forced to
strike for their self-respect and for
their jobs and for the efficient and
safe service of the people.
l am, yours very truly,

Committee on Industrial Relations.
Statement
Berghoff Bros. & Waddell, who
have supplied the thousands of strike
breakers now being housed in car
barns and shop buildings by the In
terborough, is today the largest and
most notorious strike-breaking agency
in the United States 1t is an amalga-
nation of Berghoff Bros and the old
/ firm of Observation-Disclosures
Almost exactly year ago this firm
was investigated by the United States
j Commission on Industrial Relations,
in connection with an investigation of
the strike at the Bayonne refinery of
the Standard Oil Co, The investiga-
tion was conducted by George P.
West and c. L. Chenery, agents of the
commission.
In statement issued today by the
now unofficial Committee on Indus
trial Relations, MI West said:
"Waddell, the most experienced
member Of this firm, admitted to Mr.
/ Chenery and me that he has not preju-
dice against eX-conyicts, but on the
contrary finds many OF them particu-
larly valuable for the work in hand.

THERE HAD TO BE ONE
BOMB SCARE IN STRIKE
OF NEW YORK CARMEN

New York.-It had to be-this bomb
scare. And when it came it was the
rawest bomb fake that was ever pulled
on an easy-going public.
But the cops couldn't get away with
this one.
A track walker found a piece of
something wrapped in paper in sub
way He took it to the powers that be.
The track walker said it was cal
cium carbide. But the cops, including
six big bugs in the deparement of
combustibles, said it was dynamite.
Wow How the yellow rags ate it
up, DYNAMITE was smeared all
over their front pages.
But it happened that one of the de-
partments of the Public Service Com
mission got on the job-and really did
a public service. They found out what
the stuff was-and said So They de-
manded that the cops retract. Well,
the cops didn't retract-at least not
until the rotten story had run through
all of the afternoon papers. Then a

UNION HIRES TEACHERS
DISMISSED FOR UNIONISM

Chicago.-That such drastic action
as the calling upon school children to
strike to demand the reinstatement of
the teachers who were dropped from
the public schools because of their af-
filiation with the teachers union may
be used by organized labor in the
fight to have them restored to duty
was brought out at the recent session
of the Chicago Federation of Labor
That was only one plan suggested.
Practical relief for the dismissed
teachers was given when the fedora
ton hired 3S of the teachers dropped
for unionism as business agents. 1t
was also decided that teachers who
have been employed to take the places
of those that were Disseminated
against because of their affiliation
with a labor organization were to be
regarded as strikebreakers.

Open letter from Committee
on Industrial Relations

la man willing to follow the infamous
occupation of strike-breaking, and eX-
perience in every strike where these
thugs are used has proved that their
courage and usefulness involves the
free use of whiskey. Yet rather than
relinquish their arbitrary, tyrannical
control over the American citizens
who man the cars, Shonts and Hedley
are perfectly willing to commit the
safety of their fellow citizens of New
York City into the hands of such
men"

MILLIONS SAVED BY

States would have suffered had not
President Wilson averted the railroad
strike" is the statement made today
by Frank G. ODell, agricultural
economist and formerly agricultural
statistician of the State of Nebraska.
Mr. O'Dell said The certified re-
turns made by the 226 railroads of the
United States to the Interstate Com
merce Commission show that for the
month of April, 1916, their combined
net earnings were S7S,000,000 more
than for April, 1915. The railroads
plea of poverty is being used by the
republicans to scare the farmer into
believing that he would have to pay
the cost of increased freight rates if
the eight-hOur day should compel the
roads to pay more in wages. The re-
publicans are not calling attention to
the fact that farmers would have lost
more by one week of strike conditions
than their alleged increase of expense
would have cost the railroads in five
years"
Take this single instance" CON
tfnued Mr. ODeu, the Seattle Times
prints this report of the fruit crop Of
the famous Yakima Valley in Wash
ington:
g" North Yakima, Sept. 1S.-It is now
practically certain that the 1916 fruit
crop Of the Yakima Valley will be
10000 carloads, 1000 carloads more
than ever before. The total may even
run over that figure. Shippers have
encouraged the growers to pick and
ship all OF their fruit and as it was
exceptionally clean this year, very
little has gone or viii 90 to waste.
"A return OF $6,0oO,000 for these
10000 carloads Of fruit seems now as
sured, as few doubt apples will aver
age the % cents per box necessary to
make this total
A great railroad strike would have
prevented the moving of this crop,
with a resultant loss of at least so
per cent or a total loss Of $4,000 600

stuff wasn't dynamite after all.
The Call--and the Evening Call
got after the thing hot and heavy and
put crimp in the fake so that the
whole city knew it.
The CAL began publication of an
afternoon paper, the Evening Call, the
day after the big surface, subway and

has been keeping the lying press in

The strikers have Deen putting up
one of the gamest and best fights ever

they turned out a magnificent parade

The strike is not over at this writ
ing, but every indication is that the
men will win. A general labor con-
ference has decided that in case of
necessity every organized trade in this
great city will walk out to help the
carmen. If this is done it will mean
general smashing of contracts, but
the workers have decided that no
