THE VISION OF LABOR

Labor generally has shown a lively
appreciation of its duty in tue Crisis
that confrohts the country. 1t has
given Il marvellous demonstration OF
IT'S patriotism, unsurpassed by the
ideals of any other guild in the nation.
1t IS, in a large measure. going 10 be
benefited BY the war in many respects
in the adjustments TO come after the
war. Far reaching changes are 10
come in the industrial economy, and
.xith that must come a still better I'M
.derstanding between labor and capital
(which has been progressing of late
syears. A recent labor bulletin very
:pointedly suggests that the industrial
mobilization now going on will not
tonly affect the nations strength and
=sraying power in the war. but will also
profoundly influence the character OF
our social order in the future. 1t
ssignihcantly adds: Only by meeting
the need of today with vision OF what
tomorrow will bring can we minimize
the danger Of fastening permanently
upon the country An unsatisfactory in
sdustrialism, and weakening our. ma
stional vitality"
; 1t would be we'll for labor to look
swith a large vision on tomorrow, be-
cause when peace comes and the extra

does not mean Il lowering Of standards
but a higher appreciation Of them,
and that have only been secured
Through the higher development OF
labor ideals through the democracy
Under which we live. Nothing will be

which delays the mobilization that is
sought. The other day distinguished
jurisconsult imagined he had discov-
cred a fatal defect in the legislation
providing for the selective draft. He
hurried 10 Congress with his alleged
discovery. maintaining that the seiec-
tive draft bill specified in terms that
the army so provided Is TO constitute
the organization Of the Typographical
militia" which was set up by the army
legislation OF last year. 1t was, In this
view. a militia army. Now, under the
Constitution. the militia may not be
used beyond the borders OF the United
States. Its uses are restricted to the
execution OF the laws, the quelling of
insurrecuon, and the repelling Of in.
vasion.
1t so happens. however, that this
constitutional limitation has been in
tcrpreted BY the courts, in case grow
ing out of the Militia Act Of 1795,
wherein Mr.. Justice Story rendered
the opinion and upheld the contention
that the use Of the militia Is strictly
limited. A loophole was opened, how
ever, by the courts dictum that the
power to use the militia to repel in
vasion includes the power to use it in
case OF a threatened invasion. Con-
sequently. 1t was reasoned that the
passage Of the Germans through Lux
emburg and Belgium into France, con-
stitutes the first advance in purposed
invasion of the United States and that
a militia army may be properly sent
to France to defeat such invasion in
its early stages. We had TO negotiate
many constitutional bushes in the
Civil war, and it is possible that We
shall have to beat around several in
the present emergency.

THE JUDGMENT OF JANE

There can be no question OF the
patriotism Of American womauhood.
II anything the women OF the country
have shown more enthusiasm in this
war than the men because. possibly.
they. by their nature. have a more
spiritual grasp of the situation. But
once in awhile a representative OF the
sex jangles like sweet bells out of
time. Miss Jane Adams, whose good
works have won her worldwide recog-
milton. has sadly married her useful
ness by her unrestrained pro-German
sentiments. One would have expected
something better from a woman of
her intelligence.
In recent public meeting held in
church near Chicago. Miss Adams
took occasion to say that this nation
should have taken thought Of the feel,
ings of its German.born citizens be,
fore entering the war-a remark which
called forth a sharp rebuke from a
former judge OF the Illinois supreme
court who was in the audience. who
acknowledged his long friendship and
cooperation with Miss Adams In her
work and who said that he could not
continue those relations while she
maintained and uttered the sentiments
she had just expressed. Her sincerity
no one will doubt. and the price she
will pay for her lack Of judgment all
will recognize. It Is a great pity-as
j. is Il great Wonderland the founder
Of Hull House, where real American
ism has been so we'll taught all these
years. should not have taken to her
self the lessons Of the institution
Some seek to explain it by recalling
that Hull House Of late has shown de-
cided tendencies toward Socialism. il
this be true, it emphasizes the danger
OF academic Socialism, which, as
events OF every day are now showing
cannot be translated into terms OF
action which are compatible with
whole-hearted patriotism. Among the
tasks which war has brought upon US
therefore. is that of scrutinizing al
the centers where Socialism is incul

WHY THE MYSTERIES?

:. The intimation that the government
may be forced to take over the rail-
roads Of the country does not seem to
,be justified by any fault Of the rail
roads. They are doing the very best
they can. and it is not possible
that inexperienced government control
could secure any greater results out
;of the situation that prevails. The
country appears 10 be in danger Of
being stampeded into state Of mind
for controlling everything on the urge
of certain circles in Washington who
are too panicky TO use common judg-
ment In response to a patriotic de-
mand made upon the railroads OF the
United States by the Railroads War
Board. they have so increased their eff
forts that they arc handling a far
heavier tonnage today than ever. in

NO TIME FOR STICKING

In the Civil war Abraham Lincoln
had 10 resort TO measures that were
denounced as tyrannical. Many things
were done that were decried as uncon-
stitutional.. In most cases the COM
plants came from those whose COM
fort and ease was to be disturbed, and
from others upon whom unavoidable
hardships were inflicted. But the ne
cessities of war the promise OF safety

THE CHURCHS DUTY

II is not certain that the State will
complete its quota OF 100000 Of the
Red Cross Fund, and this has moved
Governor Cornwell to appeal TO the
ministers of all denominations TO take
up special collections In their churches
tomorrow that West Virginia may not
default insthe sum that has been al
loted TO her. Wheeling has done more
than her duty. and under the circum-
stances might be excluded from this
appeal. But there are other COM
munities in the State doubtless. who
have not done their bit. and who ought
to be made realize their obligation in
this matter.
The churches more than any other
organization in the country have most
at stake in the effective prosecution of
the war against force that seeks to
disrupt civilization. The very funda-
mentals OF Christianity are threatened
by the remoseless military despotism
that is now scoursing Europe. 1t is
the business of the church TO help
save humanity from being crushed. 1t
is eminently the business Of the Chris
tian fellowship OF the United States TO
sustain in devotion and service the
brave bands Of the Red Cross in their
humane mission abroad in binding up
the wounds and caring for the sick and
distressed. who are suffering that we
may continue to enjoy freedom and
liberty as established by the teachings
Of Him who ordained the government
