PROMPT ACTION DEMANDED.

When the president issued his call
for the mobilization Of the national
guard the patriotic young men re-
sponded promptly, but it was speedily
discovered that hardly single COM
pany in any state was properly
equipped for active service in the
field. A meeting was held in New
York to discuss the situation, and
Major Mitchell of that city, himself a
democrat and heretofore an ardent
supporter Of President Wilson, in a
ringing speech placed country above
party and called upon the people to
demand that the present congress do
it's duty and if it does not to elect a
congress that will, and it matters not
whether the majority of it's members
is composed Of democrats, republicans
or progressivess
Il don't suppose anything could
more clearly demonstrate the present
PROSTATE condition of this country
than what is going on in this city and
in this state and ii: ether states today
where we see men OF the national
guard called to the concentration
camps. These fellows, the finest in
the country, are responding, only to
find when they go out that they are
without equipment, without horses,
and without the facilities for a sue
cessful campaign
II want to say that the government
that sends these young men unequipped
as they are, down to Mexico with any
expectation that they will accomplish
results is exposing them to the same
risks and jeopardy that the first force
that went from England was exposed
to, and if something of the same kind
happens we have only the American
people and them alone to thank for it.
''The most important thing, to my
mind, is to call for organization
throughout the country, to secure
from congress adequate. legislation
and, if need be, to secure a congress
that will enact adequate legislation
Just as the pacifsm and Indifference
of the sitting congress is non-partisan
so the movement to obtain a congress
that will enact adequate legislation
ought to be non-partisan. We don't
care-I don't at all events-whethe1
the men who go there pledged to real
defensive legislation are democrats
republicans, progressives, or what you
will. I firmly believe the situation
that this country faces, and the great.
er situation that eventually it will
face in the future, transcend all par.
ties and party considerations; that
it is the future Of the American re.

'Who is Thomas Dwyer?" is a
question that has been propounded to
the writer several times of late. The
Dwyer referred to is the democratic
candidate for governor. We know
nothing of Mr.. Dryer save that he is
a Minneapolis boilermaker and quite
prominent in labor circles in that city,
Those who know him say he is an
honest, well=meaning man, and that
he is by far and away the best of the
trio that aspired to the democratic
gubernatorial nomination. In any
event Mr.. Dryers chances of election
are not one in ten.

A suffragette, who gained access to
President Wilson under false pre-
lenses, made the threat that if the
president would not favor the meas
ure she proposed, she would see to
it that he be punished by the opposi-

This looks as if "votes. for women

Paternalism Not Wanted

If this nation is ever to become a
nation of sheep, ready to. follow
blindly leader without question, the
surest road to travel to reach that
goal is to have it's workers submit to
the paternalism of employers.
If we are to build up here a nation
of strong, self reliant men and women
who can stand upon. their own feet
and successfully meet every condition
that confronts them the workers must
manage their own affairs, regulate
their own lives and solve their own
problems in the everyday relations of
life.
1t may be true, as some contend
that it is better for the employees
working in the Ford automobile fac.
tories to be forced to live according
to the standards dictated by their en-
ployer than to be allowed to follow
their own desires. In some cases, in
perhaps large number of instances
this employer can govern the workers
better than they can direct them.
selves. But, admitting the soundness
of such reasoning, it is not a demo-
cratic scheme of things, and no real
believer in democracy can advocate
the spread Of system that must in
evitably wipe out individual initiative,
destroy the sense of personal respon.
sibility and break the spirit of the
American worker. =,
Any system that creates dependents
and breeds subservient followers must
be repulsive to all persons with red
blood coursing through their veins
and imbued with republican ideals.
Democracy in action places men upon
their own resources and produces a
race of Independent, outstanding and
efficient people, and he who sets up
an opposite institution binders de-
velopment and interferes with the
progress of the human race in it's
struggle up from the depths of help.
less dependency to vigorous independ-
ence. Such person instead of being
praised as benefcient friend of man
should be condemned as an enemy of
society. Such work is not we'll doing.
It is positively hurtful.
If the nation must depend for its
defense, in the event of an attack by
an enemy, upon the products of pater-
nalism of this character, then it is
certain that the fond hopes of the
founders of this republic are destined
to be blasted while the government is
still in its youth, because spoon fed
dependents are not to be relied upon
in the hour of trial. What a nation
needs at such a time are men who
have faced the rigors and trials of
life, not dollhouse plants who have
been sheltered by paternalism from
the blasts of the elements.
If the Fords and Rockefellers are
sincere in their expressed desire to
promote the welfare of the human
race the way. is open to them to do
so by withdrawing their opposition
to organization of the workers, so that
they can get within the folds of the
bona fide labor movement and work
out their own destiny in their own
way.-Duluth Labor World.

The Difference.

Much alleged patriotism is nothing
but jingoism. The Lincoln Journal
defines the difference between the two
as follows: "Patriotism is quiet,
modest, sensible, hopeful, helpful and
not afraid. Jingoism is turbulent,
troublesome, noisy, ostentatious, as
sertive, full of all vanity and vexa-
ton of spirit. The one is a pledge of
national security; the other a menace
to peace and prosperity" Which is
