SEDITIOUS JOURNALS.
A Story From France With a Moral
for Us.
From the Washington Post.)

From the Washington Post)
Conservative minds anxious to do
justice though the heavens fall, have
their own peculiar attitude toward
anti-American and pacifists journals
in this country. The distinction be-
tween the two classes can be clearly
shown by accomplished hair -splitters
Holding to the rights Of free speech
and a free press, they assume that
such journals are in error, but go no
further. The idea that they are
enemy agencies supported by enemy
money is tossed lightly aside.
A tale from France, and that in the
third year of the war, has it's bearing
on this indulgent view. An insignifi-
cant Paris sheet suddenly blossomed
out. Formerly anarchistic i'm it's ten
dencies, it changed overnight to a
policy of pronounced pacifism. From
comparatively unknown newspaper,
1T gained power through the employ
ment Of exceptional talent at great
cost. Those Immediately connected
| with it grew rich. One of it's direct
ors made trips to Switzerland-fifteen
it is claimed, in single year-where
he received checks totaling 100000
| marks from a German banker. Sus-
picion was aroused, clews were fol-
lowed and the head editor went to
prison. There he died a natural death
according to the verdict of medical
experts, due to "hemoptysi, puruient
peritonitis, chronic appendicitis, acute
gastritis and enormous abuse of NOR
phine." incidentally, there was a red
furrow around the unfortunates neck.
The French minister of the interior
who often received visits from the
defunct editor. has since resigned.
That's about ALL
Sounds a bit French" eh? But
1t is revival of the old before-the-
war Frenchiness. France isn't trifling
now. 1t is to be remembered also
that enemy money was lavished for
pacifist outgivings only. Nothing pro-
German or that sort Of thing. Just
the soft pedal. a bit Of brotherly love
stuff here and there. a question of
whether the horrid war pays after ali
-all very sweet and all very weak
ening, backed by German capital.
How about our own pacifist press +?
Has the American government looked
into their antecedents, their control,
their visible means of support? Fra
ternal emotions alone shrink from the
thought that one Of the sincere ex-
positors/ of pacifist doctrine in this
country should ever succumb to such
miscellaneous assortment of diseases
as carried off the esteemed Almeyreda
of the Bonnet Rogue"

Where Are the Socialists Going?

(By John Erskine of The vigilantes.)
Why have so many of the socialists
in the United States deserted their
socialistic ideas. For years they have
preached the doctrine of a collective
| society, not always with success, but
always, as we thought, with sincerity.
Now that the war has brought home
even to conservative minds the advan-
| tages of their theories, loyal citizens
everywhere see that the country must
| act as state, not a collection of indi-
viduals; they sec also-what may
| prove a more important vision-that
even when peace returns, the coun-
try must think and act as a state for
the good of the whole community In
the interest of the State. manufactur-
ers and farmers now submit to gov
ernment control Of their pursuits, the
housekeper and the grocer submit to
government check of the consump-
tion of food; and men and women ac-
cept government direction as to what
military or other service they should
undertake. At such moment it
would be the most natural thing i'm the
world for the sincere socialist to en-
courage these dispositions toward
fuller idea of statehood. and to make
these dispositions permanent after the
war.
But are the socialists encouraging
these symptoms of growing state!
Some Of them are-but they first re-
sign from the socialist party. And
doubtless some of them are encourag-
ing these symptoms while still remain
ing in the socialist party. But the So
cialist Of whom we hear most now-a-
day is primarily opposed to a war with
Germany, and i'm order to make his
opposition effective he is sacrificing
even his socialism-he is behaving
frankly as an anarchist. He knows
that If war must be waged, it is most
effectively waged under the system
of universal service; but since he could
not prevent this war, he seems to be
doing what he can to see that we do
not wage it effectively. He knows that
cooperation between labor and capi-
tai. between railroads and the govern
ment, between food producers and
food consumers is a sign of increased
and increased efficiency in
the state; therefore he refuses his aid
10 any such social-minded progress.
Ii he no longer is loyal to his own
Ideals, 10 what or to whom is be
loyal?
