POOR LABOR DIPLOMACY

Workmen in Chicago iewelry factories have gone on strike
just when the shops are crowded with work for the Christmas
trade. The large shops are subletting part of the work 10
small concerns all over the country and the city is threatened
with the loss of an important and growing industry. The strk-
es will lose wages or be forced to seek work elsewhere Will
the outside shops will thrive. The enameling branch of the
business is already practically gone and other departments will
be removed from Chicago if the strikers persist in making I'M
reasonable demands.
In Newark, n. j, where fine jewelry is the leading special
ty, the workmen have refused to go out and the big shops nc
busy filling orders for Chicago houses. In the east the Chicaso
strike is regarded by wOrkmen as unreasonable and east 4rn
shops will gain at the expense of the west. Good jewelry does
not carry the union label, so walking delegates cannot threaten
to boycott retailers.-New York Commercial.

NON-RESISTANCE

Socialists preach that wars are captalistic and always I'M
justifiable, and then they proceed to defend the kaiser by say
ing it is wrong to resist his encroachments. Pacifists also sup
port the doctrine of non-resistance, and some United States
senators decaim against war against autocracy when the auto
crat is the aggressor.
Barbarians are always aggressors when they find 1T safe.
If civilized peoples adopted the doctrine of non-resistance they
would be plundered and enslaved by the Turks and the Tartars.
Our l. W.. w. loafers would live on the fat of the land without
working until the whole continent was reduced to a state of
barbarism with nothing left worth stealing.
If it is right to maintain a police force for the apprehen-
sion of crime and violence, it is equally right to raise an army
TO resist the attack of a Prusisan freebooter. For the kaiser
this war may be commercial, though it is proving a poor spec
ulation, but for ourselves and our allies it is a defensive war
that becomes offensive only in the sense that a policeman must
subdue a burglar by force when he resists arrest and tries to
make off with his booty.
Socialists, pacifists and others who profess to hate capital
ism and war should be the first to resist Germany's attempt to
dominate the world and the trade of the world by force of arms
for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of her capitalists and the glory of the
Hohenzollern dynasty. What do we find? Socialists in Ger
many are fighting the battles of autocracy and capitalism while
socialists and pacifist selsewhere are trying to tie the hands
of those who would resist robbery and enslavement by Prus-
sian militarism.
Socialists are endeavoring to secure a peace in favor of
Germany that would fasten autocracy upon the necks Of all
people and destroy the liberty which they and others now en-
joy. An autocrat ruling the world from Berlin after the man.
ner of the Roman emperors, whom the kaiser apes, would
throw bones to the dogs who fawned upon him just as the Ro-
man emperors provided bread and circuses for the Roman mob,
and these socialists would eat out of his hand rather than stand
up and fight.
Pacifists say that those who rule Germany and who inflict-
ed this war upon the world must not be asked to do penance for
their crimes or to make restitution to those they have deiber-
ately wronged. Germany must not escape punishment. The
kaiser appealed to the arbitration of the sword and he must
abide by the verdict. It would be a wrong as monstrous as the
war itself to establish a precedent that the perpetrators of such
international crimes shall escape punishment when they lose
the trial by battle which they invited. President Wilson has
set forth the terms we now demand, but they will become
harder if Germany n~eedlessly protracts the war and thereby
increases the waste of blood and treasure. Men, not molly
coddes, will deal with the wild beast of Potsdam when he is
cornered in his den-New York Commercial.

That a nation owes much to its citizens who have fought its
battles and to their families when they have been killed or In
jured so as to destroy or impair their capacity to provide for
their families has always been recognized by the United states.
This just and generous policy of our country as administered
under our pension system has been unduly costly and mas not
always been just. One of the proposed uses of the proceeds
of the Liberty Loan is to give life and indemnity insurance to
our soldiers and sailors and to provide allowances to their de-
pendent families while they are in the ranks.
The plan worked out by Secretary McAdoo and his coadJu-
tors and approved by the president has been embodied in a bill
which is now pending in congress. AS to the business and
righteousness of this insurance of our fighting men Secretary
McAdoo says:
Military service in the United States is obligatory; those
who imperil themselves have no election. The insurance COM
panies do not and cannot permit this to affect their calclla-
tons. They must protect themselves by charging premiums
so high that they are secured against loss, no matter how
severe the rate of mortality may be. Consequently the very
men who are called into the service because their physical
condition is of the best and who as civilians would for that rea-
son be able to secure the most favorable insurance rate in
peace time, are denied as soldiers the necessary life insurance to
enable them to protect their families and dependents. The ex-
ira hazardous risks of war put insurance entirely beyond the
reach of the conscripted soldier.
"The government which subjects these men to this insur-
mOuntable discrimination should itself supply insurance to sol
diers at cost and upon the peace basis. 1t would in fact be
dastardly and undemocratic if the government should peaali.e
the soldier who is forced to render the highest duty of the
citizen, by failing to provide for him war insurance upon peace
terms and at net cost. The pay of the enlisted men in the
army and navy is less than the wages and salaries gen orally
war and emergency measure inaugurated for the specific ben
eft of our military forces and can not and should not be con-
Quoted for profit.
"This legislation will be a great step forward in the recog-
milton of the republics duty to its heroes. 1t deserves earnest
and vigorous support of the country. The United States should
set the highest example of all the nations in the treatment of
those who do and die for their country and for world freedom"
If things get much worse in this country, the farmers will
be wanting a government specialist to manicure their nails for
them-Dalas News.

kAISER'S WILL Is LAW

1t is IA well established principle i'll pleading i'll a court OF
law that the plaintiff i'm a case must plead capacity to sue, eX-
cept where the plaintiff is an individual, suing in his own right.
Thus when a corporation sues, the first paragraph alleges
that the plaintiff is a duly created corporation, organized under
certain laws and doing business in a certain place or places.
If the suit is by an administrator or guardian, then the plead
ings must show the appointment of the plaintiff as such ad-
ministrator or guardian and his qualifications. In case a
state officer is suing, he must set forth in his complaint his
election or appointment or the law authorizing him to sue.
In other words, when a suit is filed the exact status Of the
plaintiff must be established and when so set forth the status
is exact and accurate in every particular.
A local attorney has furnished the following, entitled, "The
Kaiser in Court" taken from the August number of Law Notes,
a standard publication, issued by the Edward Thompson COM
pany, Northport, Long Island, N. Y, and in it the exact status of
the German kaiser is established as plaintiff in a suit:
1t may not be generally known that some years ago
1856 a predecessor of the present reigning "Al
Highest" Frederick William w, became a sutton in the
courts of Missouri seeking to recover from the estate OF
a deceased postmaster a sum with which he absconded
to America king of Prussia v. Kuepper's Admir-, % Mo.
55i). The royal plaintiff thus modestly described his
status:
"The plaintiff states that he is absolute monarch of
the kingdom of Prussia, and as king thereof is the sole
monarch of that country; that he is unrestrained by any
constitution or law, and that his will, expressed in due
form, is the only law of that country, and is the only
legal power there known to exist as law" All of which
is commended to the notice of those whose "consciences"
revolt at the effort to prevent that type of government
from gaining a world ascendancy.

S S CITY MOBS

Petrograd and Moscow no more represent Russia than New
York and Chicago represent the United States. The pro-Ger-
man socialists and pacifists, mostly foreign-born, of these two
American cities correspond to the elements that are trying to
disorganize the armies and tie the hands of the provisional gov
eminent of Russia. They are represented in the provisional
government while the 100000 people who live on the land
have little voice in it. Imagine the lower east side of New
York and the levee district of Chicago trying to rule the United
States and direct the prosecution of the war and we have a
comparison with what is going on in Russia.
Internationalist socialists and labor unionists in America
and Russia foreswear patriotism. They preach class as against
country. They desire war between workmen on one side and
farmers and business men on the other. Those who have no
property are to be arrayed against those who have some stake
in the country, and they seek to stir up worldwide strife on
these lines. The workman who saves a little in the hope of be-
coming an independent producer or tradesman is regarded as
an enemy and willingness to work steadily is enough to con-
denim anyone.
City mobs can make themselves heard at any time. In
Russia they are the only element in the population that we
read about, yet anyone can realize that they form an unimport-
ant fraction of the population, much less important than in the
United States because the proportion of the people living in
cities is much smaller in Russia than in America. If the Rus
sian people were permitted to hold a constitutional convention
at once, at which representation by population would be the
rule, it would be a very conservative body in which the land
hunger of the people would be expressed in a constitution
guaranteeing rights of property as we'll as political liberty
These city-bred socialists and anarchists would form an insie-
nlflcant, though noisy, minority in an assembly that would
erect a republic modelled on the United States in which local
self-government by federal states would satisfy the racial do
sires of the Russian peoples -Commercial

RIGA N

Germany does not need to take Riga or Petrograd to prove
her military superiority over the disOrganized Russian armies
and an advance into northern Russia will not strengthen her
position because it will lengthen her lines and call for more
troops. The value of Riga depends on the moral effect It's cap
ture will have on the Russian people. The Germans can take
Petrograd if they choose and make their military position
weaker by so doing. The a~dvisabiity of such a drive and the
capture of the countrys capital turns entirely on its political
effect.
Will these shameful defeats stir the Russians to drive the
invader from their soil as Napoleon at Moscow reused their
forefathers more than a century ago, or will they take a thrash
ing lying down and let the Prussians treat them like dogs ana
reduce them to serfdOm again?
A German army at Petrograd might furnish Finland with
IA very good reason for declaring her independence. Sweden
has dreamed of regaining Finland and the western shore of the
White Sea. The Firms are Lutheran in religion and most of
them speak Swedish. The German government may be build
ing on a league that will bring Sweden and Finland again into
close alliance with the Teutons as they were in the days of
Gustavus Adophus, only this time a Prussian is to lead the
Swedes in the place of the Lion of the North.
Beaten on the west and south, the Teuton empires may
hope to recompense themselves in the east by occupying part
of Russia in Europe. The Cossacks and the Siberians will not
submit to such spoliation and Japan may become the dominant
factor on that side.
If the Germans take petrograd they will control the rail
roads to Sweden and to the ports on the White Sea, which
would isolate Russia completely from contact with her Euro
pean allies. Japan alone can give her much assistance by way
of the Trans-Siberian railroad. If the Germans reach Petrograd
Japan will loom large in the east and perhaps Germany does
not desire that, since her plots to embrol the United States
with Japan failed.
