but If half a million vote it would be
surprise to many who have fol-
lowed the campaign.
The tumult and the shouting have
died down to-day and the speeches
nave given way to claims. The
broadsides of Statements" have
stopped, and so has the mudslinging
which has been going on in both of
the major parties. Political leader
snip has much at stake in to-mor-
rows contests and it is of interest to
note that the decision of the Dau-
phin county court in the Town
Meeting case, so much resented by
the Wares. is to be supported by
District Attorney Rotan, if neces-
sary, to see that men get ballots.

ment by this predictions:
II believe my estimate of Satur-
day, 100000 is too small, and that
my majority will go considerably

Senator Sproul in a calm. dispas-

nominated by the Republicans oi
Pennsylvania for the office of gov

ONE PROFITEER
TO BE CHECKED

Landlords in the city of Wash
ington are gathering in a heavy
crop of war profits, exempted
from the excess profits tax. One
of them has for tenant Major
General Black, Chief of the Army
Engineers, who has accompanied
Secretary of War Baker to France.
General Black paid 500 a month
rent. After his departure his
family received a notice from the
landlord that the rent would there
after be $3.50 a month. The case
was not an unusual one, but the
prominence Of the tenant made
Congressman Ben Johnson, Chair
man Of the Committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia, sit up and take
notice. He promptly introduced
a bill for communicating of the
house by the Government and
renting Of it to General Black for
500 a month until one year after
the war. The landlord moreover,
is to be required to pay all re-
pairs.
The bill, if it passes, will set
tie the rent question for General
Black. But how about the thou
sands of other citizens who have
suffered from similar extortion ?
1t is clearly unreasonable to ex-
pect special measure to be pass
ed by Congress for the relief of
each and everybody, And yet
they are entitled to it as much
as General Black.

THEI. W. W. TRIAL
AT CHICAGO
Property Rights Versus Humanity
Is the Issue

CHICAGO-The opening of the
fourth week of the great l. w.
w. trial in Chicago finds the at
torneys for both sides still work
ing to get the jury together. 1t
is expected that this will have
been accomplished in a day or
two more, and then the real work
of the trial will open up. 1t is
reported that the prosecution has
already summoned it's witnesses
to appear in Chicago by Wednes-
day, April oath.
The prosecution has used two
of it's six peremptory challenges
and the defense two of it's ten.
The struggle over the selection
of the prospective jurymen has
been very keen; the prosecution
fighting to retain businessmen
and capitalists, and the defense
fighting to keep as many open
minded workers as possible Judg
ing from the questions asked the
talesmen by counsel of both sides
the issues that will clash in this
trial will be those of Capital and
!.abor-the Old order of things
clashing with the New. The T.
w. w. has challenged the right
of the capitalist system to exist,
and the system has accepted the
challenge and will attempt to
obtain vindication in court.

0STERBERG IS TURNED LOOSE

Wednesday morning, Nils
Osterberg was called out
from the cell tank, given his
effects and told that the
door was open. No further
explanation was given and
COmrade Osterberg did not
tarry to ask any more ques-
tons.
He was arrested on April
18th for an alleged violation
of the Espionage law, and
was bound over to the Fed
eral grand jury by L. S.
Commissioner Mansfield un-
der bond fixed at 100000.
On Wednesday last the case
was brought before the Grand
Jury and they failed to find
sufficient evidence to hold
him for trial. He was there
fore turned loose.
1t does not require very
much evidence for the Grand
Jury to hold a man for trial,
particularly on such charges,
in these times. And yet our
COmrade was thrown into
jail under such an outrage
ously high bond that we had
not been able to raise it in
two weeks time.
Emil Herman's case was
also presented to the Grand
Jury but not completed, SO
that it will not be decided
until the jury meets again
next Monday.

REFORM AND
REFORMERS
Joseph Fels, a prominent Non
Socialist writer, has this to say
about two prominent Philadel-
phians:

"On certain street in Phila-
delphia two prominent contribu-
tors to charity live within a few
doors of each other. Both are
millionaires. One is political
boss. He makes the personal
welfare of every poor person in
his ward his personal business.
He sees that none wants for coal
In winter nor ice in summer. He
protects them against eviction
when unable to pay rent. He
turns no unfortunate away empty
handed. In dispensing charity he
makes no distinction of race, COL
or, religion, nationality or politics
He does not bubble about worth
mess of applicants. 1t would be
hard to find a living example
of one more nearly an ideal phil
anthropist. But his charity is a
curse to the city. 1t has made
him all powerful politically and
given him grip upon the city
that cannot easily be shaken off.
His power is at the service of
monopolistic corporations. He is
most efficient instrument in
maintaining the system that en-
ables a few to become rich by
impoverishing the many. His
charity would be a trifling re-
turn to the poor for evil done
them were it not means of
tricking them into giving him

other element of the population

continual support. AS it is, it is
not only no return at all, but
an additional injury.
The other man is reformer,
a bitter opponent of his fellow
philanthropist, the political boss.
He is man of good intentions
and unquestioned sincerity. His
charity does not take the form
of indiscriminate giving, but he
gives literally to organizations
of various kinds. His name on
the stationery of charitable
organization is looked upon as a
guarantee of it's worthiness. But
in spite of his good intentions,
in spite of his personal probity,
he too, is supporter of preda-
tory interests. His enmity to
graft stops with the lesser forms,
the forms frowned upon by law.
He has waged many battle
against wrong methods of taking
money out of the public treasury,
but he is staunch upholder of
methods of getting it in, just as
morally wrong. The UBIQUITOUS
protective tariff he is ready to
defend, even when this requires
the support of a creature of the
boss in preference to an honest
free trade opponent. Thus, thru
mere lack Of knowledge, and n
spite of good intentions, he too,
is potent factor in keeping the
poor in a condition that makes
them welcome the gifts of the
political boss"
