Democracy Fights On
By Herbert kaufman

God Himself cannot make an ante
statu quo" peace The paths to Yester-
day are irretraceable-th ruins that
line them, irreplaceable Yes, land can
be returned, but who shall return their
clean souls to seized women? What of
the Lusitania and the towers OF Louvain?
How shall Spring be made to dance be-
fore blind eyes? How may the sweep Of
pen decree Easter in Flanders and bid
slain legions rise laughing from the sod?
ANTE statu quo!" Meaning, Things
just as they were"
Thus would the Prussian offer penance
Thus would we win the war and he the
score. These are the term on which he
sheathe his hate.
Such peace must all the more con-
vince the German people of their sup
erior quality and the superiority of their
political system.
How can an uninvaded, prevailing en-
pire, with still invincible armies on every
front, be expected to repudiate leaders
whom combined Christendom can't de-
feat.
Isolated, self-fnanced, self-nurtured,
and terrifcally outnumbered, Prussia
may well read victory in stalemate.
Peace with Junkerdom would be equi-
vaent to treaty with the Mississippi
and as futile. So long as outlaw rivers
and races command old sources and
follow old courses both will break bounds
at food-tide.
Shall the cobra escape full-fanged?
Shall the Rhine Monster live on to SOW
the world with dragons teeth again?
Shall the foul death of kinsmen on vio-
lated seas eternally stain our flag? Shall
Mohammed's knife be left at Asia
throat? Shall Ledan's shame remain
unwashed from French banners and
ravished Belgium cry her debt in
vain, while Hun and Turk ride free with
sangune hands and our hot, knightly
oaths for loot?
Kaiser, though justice cost the half
our blood and gold, we'll not have less!
Democracy fights on March Cosmo-
politan.

work Of this kind there can be no doubt
that greater production will be had by
the working Of All eight-hour day than
by working nine or. ten hours.
This umpire states that although it Is
a subject for consideration. the fact tina,
the majority OF the other shops in
Wheeling are working on a. nine-hour
basis is not conclusive. "A betterncnt
has come by improving conditions, and
not continuing them. when bad says
Justice Clark. Improving conditions is
the object OF this proceeding.
The umpire points out that nearly
500, 900 railroad employees are nov work
ing on the basis Of the eiEht-hour day.
as are those in the coal mining indus
try. the packing industry. the news print
industry the garment industry, in gov
crnment construction work. and nthe
lumber and sawmills Of the northwest
The opinion further rays:
The employers have. as rule, patri-
otically given full aid to the prosecu-
ton Of the war BY placing their splen-
did plants and their highly skilled chiefs
ut the service Of the government The
employees have also. as a rule, with the
same patriotism yielded the etght-hour
limitation wherever it has been neces-
sary TO speed up production FOR the
government. The former have received
great increase in profit The latter has
contributed an increase in the hours OF
labor, and vast numbers OF men to Ill
our armies. The former have received
from the government; the latter have
given IN il. They should not be asked
To do so, beyond the necessity OF the oc-
caSion."
In explaining the provision In nj:
award that the question should be de-
tern1incd by committee representing
both employees and employer. Justice
Clark says:
while an eight-hour day is supu-
lated for in Paragraph l Of the agree
mcnt, emergencies are likely TO occur
when for brief period that limit may
hc exceeded. But the protection of the
'iSht-hour day will amount TO nothing il
il rest. with the employer alone 10 de-
clare tho emergency. The so per cent
allowed for overtime is too small pen.
atty in Wow of great profits that may
arise. Such emergencies can ordinarily

is better that the machinery should nc
worn out than the bodies OF the chi
pioycs. Man passes through this world
hut once and he is entitled. in the lam
guare Of The great Declaration. to some
enjoyment OF life. liberty. and the pur-
suit. Of happiness.
In making public the award. Mr.
Walsh said:
Justice Clark's decision Is the first
great step in the application in fact of
tho national policy to industry in gem
