PENROSE AND SHERMAN.

Is it not fortunate for the United
States that such reactionaries as
Senators Penrose and Sherman are
not in control of our government at
this time? What sickly sight we
would present in declaring our war
purposes. Our democratic ideals
would be so much camouflage that
the knowing people of Europe would
take with a grain of salt.
The reactionaries don't under
stand such men as Daniels, Baker
and Creel when they state that
Americas greatest moral asset is in
the fact that she was not prepared
for war 1t proves to the nations
of the world that we are not war
faring people, that we are not
prompted by love of conquest or de-
sire for power, but that we have
entered the great world war for the
triumph of an ideal.
Penrose and Sherman are living
IN the dead past. Their criticism of
George Creel in the senate this week
was intended as a rebuke to the adj
mlnlstration and the character of
men and women with whom Pres
ident Wilson is surrounded, men and
women who always have placed men
and principles above money and
power, and whose presence at Wash
ington, working with the administra
ton, has inspired world confidence
in sincerity of the democratic de-
clarations of the United States.

EVERY AMERICANS DUTY.

10 work, economic, and lend
money to the government is the duty
of every American.
Hundreds of thousands of our
men have been called to arms and
taken away from the productive
forces of the country
Hundreds of thousands of others
have been diverted from producing
things used in peace to producing
things used in war.
In the face of this lessened pro-
ductiye force and production a great
and unusual drain upon our re-
sources is made by our army and
navy and our Allies.
Work to make up for the lessened
production; economic in consump-
ton to lessen as much as possible
the drain upon our resources; lend
your money to your government tc
prosecute this war successfully and
make our soldiers powerful, ef-
fective, and victorious.
Every American can do an in.
dividual service to his country b,
working, saving, and buying Libert,
bonds.

PATRIOTIC" LYNCHING
PARTIES
PARTIES

1t is apparent to ali true Ameri-
cans who revere our republican form
OF government and respect the pro-
lection guaranteed all people under
Its laws that the time has arrived
when steps must be taken by the
national law-making body to curb
the unwieldly uprisings of mobs in
different sections of the country.
The latest manifestation of this
disregard of law and order, the
lynching of Robert Praeger at COL
linsville, ILL.,, bids fair to stir con-
gress into a realization of the
monstrosity of the outrage.
1t appears that Praeger was a
union mine worker who had had
some trivial difference with a mine
foreman, and it is not altogether
unlikely that the punishment melted
out to him was instigated, not by
motives of patriotism, but by venal
corporation puppet eager to DEM
opstrate his authority and in
tlmidate the workers under his
charge.
Senator Sherman of Illinois, in
the senate last Monday paid his
respects to the lynchers by denounc-
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1918-04-13

ing them as drunken mob mas
querading in the garb of patriots. :"
The peace officials who permitted
the outrage were called a disgrace
to Collinsville and it's municipal gov
eminent by the senator, who said
the lynching was CHASTITY tragedy.
The Illinois solon concluded his
speech with the following: "The
mob itself was a greater disgrace to
Madison county, ILL.,, and to repub-
lican government than any con-
temptuous, profane or scurrilous
language that could be employed by
any one, alien or CITIZEN Conceding
that Praeger was an alien enemy, I
submit that hanging him under
those conditions was a deliberate,
willful act of murder, and the men
themselves ought to be hung under
the laws of Illinois,
Congressman Dyer of Missouri has
introduced bill which would make
Federal offenders of those who
engage in lynchings and mob
violence. The measure should be
elastic enough to permit the law to
take care of all disloyal persons, but
at the same time sufficiently drastic
to reach and punish the self
constituted mobs of "patriots" who
disgrace the nation by their "admin.
. istration of law"

LET the people decide the nation
al prohibition question:" says the
National Association of Distillers
and Wholesale Liquor Dealers, and
the inference is made that the FEEDER
al constitution should be amended
only by vote of the people. How
times do change! When advocates
of prohibition wanted county option
laws, the liquor interests objected:
when it was proposed to give the
electorate in any state a vote on the
matter, protest was made. And now
it is LET the people decide" How
much more proof than this is needed
to show the hypocrisy of the liquor
forces?

during the past month on the Prob
lem, and it is announced from WASH
ington that an agreement has been
reached. The preamble looks good to
the man who has nothing to sell but
the labor of his two hands, and it
should look equally as good to the
man who buys that labor.
The committee that drew up the
plan of action" was composed of
five representatives of the employing
interests Of the country, five labor
representatives and two others, one
chosen by each side, and it appears
that they, are very earnest and sin
cere in the undertaking.
According to the proposed agree
ment, there are to be no more labor
strikes in the nation, and if the
agreement is lived up to by the en-
ploying class, as it must be, there will
be no occasion for any labor diff
culties anywhere. It is simply mat
ter of the getting together of both
sides and treating each other as they
would be treated were the conditions
reversed.
We have been told, repeatedly that
the laboring man of the nation ID
loyal, but when he strikes for a living
wage and better conditions he is
promptly branded as a traitor no mat
ter how justifiable may be his griev-
ance against his employer-the en-
ployer never is wrong. It is hoped
that under the new order the wage
Garner will be given the opportunity
to prove his loyalty without making
undue sacrifices to the employing
profiteer.
Every man wants to do a little more
than his bit in this war business, but
it takes the tuck out of an indepen-
dent chap to be exploited and then
branded as a traitor by class of
men who do it solely to hide their
own disloyalty and their greed.
We need the men, but they are USE

WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY !
SACRIFICING FOR THE WAR.

National Equity News: The man,
woman or child who has a business
that brings in a net return of 500,
$1,000 or a 100000 and is taxed
80 per cent, 80 per cent or 100 per
cent is not sacrificing. The man.,
woman or child who is working as
usual and living upon their incomes
as usual is no: sacrificing. The farm
er who is getting as good a price over
and above the cost Of production is
not sacrificing. To go without wheat
or meat day in a week is not much
of sacrifice. To work an hour or
two longer in the day is not much of
q sacrifice in order to win this war.
But why ask the farmers to pro-
duce more; why ask millions Of men,
women and children to go hungry in
order to win this war and allow few
to pile up profits mountains high?
Why ask poor man to borrow $50 at
the bank at 6 per cent to buy a Lib
erty bond paying only 4 per cent?
Why ask those who labor and pro-
duce all the wealth to furnish any
thing more than the wealth and the
boys they produce? Why not tax
the surplus wealth in the hands OF
the prof1teers. Let us repeat why no.
tax the profits before asking people
to go hungry? Let us get down tc
brass tacl-s and know who are the
pro-kaiserites in this country. Lei
us know exactly who are willing to
sacrifice to win this war. Let us know
who it is that wants to carry on this
war to save democracy or for. profits.
Let us uncover the hypocrites and
know who are fighting for democrac y.
The man or set of men who wants
profits out of this war, those who are
not willing to be taxed 100 per cent
of their net incomes are the pro-Ger-
mans and more dangerous than the

BUY LIBERTY BONDS.

This is not the time to explain the
reason for. Liberty bonds. Every
American should know what they
mean, and why they are issued. The
time for explaining is past Now
is the time to buy. The nation needs
the money; the people have it, and
1t is their duty to come across, and
to come across willingly and gen.
erously
After the Civil war it was charged
that the money interests secured
control of the government during the
war through their scheme of loan
Ing the government all the money it
needed to wage the conflict. During
this war the government is looking
not to the money interests, but to
the people to finance the cost of
the war, to the end that the govern
ment shall continue to remain in
their hands.
In making the fight for worlds
democracy it is important that the
people bear their responsibilities to
the fullest measure. Just now it is
an impressive moment for democ-
racy. He'll is headed our way, and
nothing this side of heaven will stop
1t but men and munitions. Men are
going to the front as fast as they
can be gotten there. The men who
are there are giving their lives as
freely as we would give drink of
cold water to thirsty child. We
are not asked to die.
All that is asked of US is, not that
we lift a finger, nor spend a penny.
but that we loan money for the fight.
If this thought does not appeal with
thrill to property owner or to
wage Garner in America, that man
Is unfit to live in America and I'M
safe to live anywhere.
There have been great crises in
this world, and we are right now
at the peak Of the greatest one yet
known. At one such time as this
Christ in secret conference with his
eleven lieutenants, said that the time
had been when they could safely go
unarmed and unfinanced. But
now said He, che that hath a.
purse, let him take it and likewise
his scrip (haversack) and he that
hath no sword let him sell his gar
ment and buy one.'
This Ninth Federal Reserve dis
trict in which Duluth is located, is
an empire in itself, with billions of
wealth and billions of reserve re-
sources. Only fourteen per cent of
its people own Liberty bonds, and
presumably not one of these has yet
stripped himself to buy a sword for
boy in France. If man has no
money TO loan TO this great govern
ment in this great hour of peril. let
him look about for some property
he may sell to obtain the money for
the loan. No man possessed of that
srcat treasure, American citizenship,
can plead poverty in this day of su-
preme stress.

BRITAIN'S SUFFRAGE ACT.

Chicago News: History records
few greater surrenders to democracy
than is exemplified in the new fran
chise act that has passed both houses
of the British parliament and takes
effect Immediately. The act doubles
the electorate of that country. It
gives the vote to about 100000
workers whom various suffrage limi-
tations heretofore have disfranchised
It confers the right of voting for men,
bers of parliament on 100000 women
It abolishes that survival of feudalism,
plural voting. There is no great ex-
aggeration in the words of the liberal
speaker who, in summing up the de-
bate in the house of commons, affirm
ing that the bills "37 pages consti-
tute the most gigantic contribution to
the democratic principle that ever
found a place upon statute book"
The house of lords surrendered to
the inevitable in accepting this bill.
It knew that the march of democracy
in Anglo-Saxondom is Irresistible. It
realized that it's own fate as a hered-
itary, privileged chamber was sealed
by the new and unparalleled extern
sion Of the suffrage, but it had to
resign itself to the unavoidable con-
sequence. It faces radical reorgani-
cation.
The new suffrage law makes gov
eminent by the majority of the peo-
pie a reality. A political revolution
quietly and peacefully has been ac-
complished. This is another historic
triumph for the principle of evolu-
ton, for the art of government by
wise concession and fair compromise.

ADEQUATE LABOR SUPPLY IN
ARIZONA.

Arizona Labor Journal: Beware of
those alluring advertisements of the
fabulous wages that are being paid
in Western states. The copper mine
magnates of Arizona, who drove out
thousands of workers who refused
to become helpless slaves a year ago,
are making particularly desperate ef-
forts to convince the uniformed that
their camps are little heavens (instead
Of hells) on earth. Word comes from
all over the state that there is an
abundance Of unemployed skilled and
unskilled labor in Arizona. 1t has
been the endeavor of the copper in
forests to COLOMBO the state with all
kinds of labor for reasons Of their
own. too many and too apparent, chief
of which might be mentioned the de-
sire to skin the government in it's
/ time of need for copper and to stifle
labor in it's desire to better conditions.
Agents of the interests are making
strenuous efforts in every center of
population in the country to further
crowd our already overlooking ranks.
All labor papers should make it a
point to tell the truth in this matter.

OLD MEN ARE BEING PLACED
in HARNESS,


Denver Labor Bulletin: From
everywhere there comes the Informal
ton that "old'' men who had been
thrown upon the "scrap heap of dis
use by employers are being resuscitat-
ca and once more placed in the har-
ness. Occasionally we hear COM
plant to the effect that some Of the
"old1 men" can't work quite as fast
as those called to the colors. That
is too bad, for no farmer who has
placed an "old horse" out to pasture
ever expects that "old horse" to enter
a sweepstakes race and bring home
of those "old horses" get hardened to
their work, the chances are that they
will pull aim ost any kind of a load,
even if they do not receive much more
than their keep" And in the finality
those '"old' men have done their "bit"
to place this country where it is to-
day, but have been prevented from
accommodating wealth through circum-
stances over which they had no con-
troll. Lack of education in many cases
made work horses Of them, and as
soon as they failed to keep pace with
"colts" they were denied their daily
ration of "oats." Now the war brings
to them little more than the mere
scraps as they fall from the table of
industrialisn1.
