JOHNSON IS FREE.
FROM SHOT BLAME
Physicians Believe Paralysis
of Boy May Be Overcome,

Orval Johnson is completely exoner-
ated from all blame in connection with
the shooting OF Earl Evans, 10 years
old boy, which occurred early Saturday
morning, in a report filed by the police
with Mayor OverhoSer.
Johnson Asked to Go.
The mayor said today that in the re
port Captain Slaton stated that Orval
Johnson accompanied the police on the
burglar call at his request and that
they were informed that three men, not
boys, were attempting to enter the Au-
dituium Drug company.
Reports from the hospital today are
that young Evans condition is about
the same He is still paralyzed in both
arms and one leg, but hospital attend
ants believe that he will recover full
use OF these members.
Boy May Recover.
An X-ray photograph shows that the
bullet fired by Johnson did not sever
the nerve or the spinal cord, but is
pressing against the spinal cord, which
accounts for the temporary paralysis

performed To remove the bullet

LABOR HEARS THE CALL.

Organized labor throughout the land did its
duty last Tuesday. Its eligible members registered
because labor is satisfied it must enter the present
conflict in order to clear the way for the i'll
auguration of those principles OF democracy for
which the American labor movement stands.
The serious condition that America and h'I
allies finds themselves in is not of making. We
do not relish the task before We had hoped
our entrance into the would not be necessary.
But time for quibbling is past. When one deals
with an adversary immune to reason and deaf to
the calls Of humanity, and when that enemy has
clearly shown its utter disregard OF the rights OF
the entire civilized world then there is but one
thing left to do And that is to clean house
and do it in a h,lsiness-like way.
America; will do its bit quietly but with firm
determination to do it firmly and we'll. And
beneath the national calmness'' to borrow the
language Of the Boston journal, (which we 10
earnestly need let us nurse the will to victory,
the will to fight like million devils from hell
for the We love.
The time for criticism is gone. The time for
united action has arrived. The time for whining
has gone and the time for real American patriotism
is here
Labor hears the call. 1t will go to battle and
do what it alone can do to bring peace and justice
again to the bleeding War-torn world.
Labor will rally to the call of Samuel Gompers,
the patriot and leader. It will follow his lead
because it believes with him. that the present
conflict will result in the abolition of call forms
Of autocracy and despotism, and establish and
maintain for generations yet unborn the priceless
treasures Of justice, freedom, democracy and
HUMANITY

osition, but calls for the cultivation
of immense areas of land, such as the
west alone can supply.
Incidentally, Walsh directed atten-
ton to the desirability of the govern
ment taking possession of the major
part of the Crow Indian reservati in
Montana and opening it up to the
white mans land hunger. 1t was alb
surd to permit 100 Crow Indians to
hold in their own right 1000 acres Of
land apiece when they could get along
on $50 acres.
Over 100000 acres of the Grow land
is capable of raising bumper crops
without irrigation. and the department
of agriculture had estimated that the
tract would yield 100000 bushels Of
wheat to aid the presidents conscript
army to carry the principles of the
labor-eploiting democracy of Amer
lea to the benighted autocracies of CEN
trail Europe.
Directing attention to the scarcity
Of labor to till the soil. Walsh sug-
sested the suspension of the immigra-
ton laws, so as to permit the impor-
tation of 100000 Chinese laborers to
work on the farms at coolie wages.

PETITIONS FOR INDEPENDENCE.

petition is being circulated by Irish Americans
which it is expected will contain more than two
million names, to be presented to President Wilson,
requesting the President and Congress to insist
upon England that she grant freedom to Ireland.
Labor union bodies, especially in the east, are
taking up the work enthusiastically, and funds are
being raised by popular subscription to push the
work along.
Irshmcn claim that such action by the President
and Congress might impress upon Great Britain the
necessity and good policy of giving great example
to the world in granting complete national in
dependence to Ireland
The petition in part is follows:
eve, as American citizens, respectfully state
to the government of the United States that Ire
land is distinct nation, deprived Of her liberty
by force and held in subsection by England by
military power alone. AS America has entered the
for the preservation of democracy and the
freedom of small nationaties, this government is
in honor bound to apply this principle impartialy
in all cases of peoples held in subsection, whether
they be under the jurisdiction of Germany, like
Belgium, or of England, like Ireland. As America
cannot be a party to any scheme Of world peace
which wthholds from any nation the God given
right of freedom. the only final settlement must be
the complete Independence of Treland.''

ALLIES OF THE KAISER.

Thus far neither President Wilson Secre
tary Houston Of the Department of Agriculture
have moved against speculation in land, although
this form of speculation is infinitely worse than
any other form in it's effect on the food supply.
Food stuffs held out of can be seized and
utilized within twenty four hours Holding idle
land out of use during planting is equivalent
to the absolute destruction Of the food it could
produce.
Putting wheat into elevator and holding it
off the market is bad enough. TO dump it into
Lake Michigan would be worse. Yet the owner
of idle land capable of raising crops is great
a public enemy, as much ally of the kaiser, as
the wheat speculator who would dump food into
the lake. He may not be as bad morally as the
food speculator because he may lack the capital
to cultivate his land or because his crime against
society has never been called to his attention.
A few wears ago rebating was considered re-
spectacle. So running for office on funds
supplied by railroad corporation. So was the
employment of children in factories. Today the
holding Of idle land out Of use is not yet con"
sidered social crime by many people.
There are officials in Washington who do regard
land speculation as crime. Secretary Lane of
the Department of Interior considers it So
does Carl Nrooman, assistant secretary of agricul-
turc, who recently denounced food spectators in
terms that rang through the country.

WHAT JAPAN
HAS LEARNED


Japan is going into the insurance
business.
That country has decided to make
government monopoly of industrial
insurance, which means the funeral
money for workers of small means.
Private corporations are peremp-
torily forbidden by law to write life
insurance for sums of 1925 or less
The idea of the Japanese govern
ment is that the masses of the in
drstrial population. living close to the
hare margin of existence, should be
spared from exploitation by profit
making companies that give wholly
inadequate insurance protection in
return.
In this respect Japan's policy is in
accord withthe general practice of the
countries of Europe having univer-
sal health insurance. 1t conforms to
the principle of the universal health
insurance movement, SO rapidly gain
ing ground in this country, that pri-
vate insurance must be compelled to
keep hands off, if those who are
most in need Of sickness protection
are to have it.
Millions of dollars. made up Of the
precious pennies of the poor, are paid
every year to commercial companies

surance. Little more than a. third
Of it gets back to the workers. Then
