Of Hobson's choice. In the settle
ment of this complaint of the Grange
the authorities must either fish or
cut bait. And looking at it from
this angle, it might be said that the
wrong done the State Grange has
its compensations. 1t will emphasize
the necessity of prompt measures
to snub this wave of intolerance and
criminality, and thus save our COM
munities from the deluge of re-
prisals that are inevitable if mob
rule is to be touted as exurberant
patriotism and tolerated by public
officials.
The Grange yet has an important
role to play. There is no excuse
for an apologize demeanor on the
part of the Grange. Whether or
not the Grange Endorsed the Non
Partisan League has absolutely
nothing to do with the case. The
only question is the deliberate and
premedltated invasion of the plain
and unquestioned rights of citizens
of the commonwealth. For Grange
members to hem and haw and feebly
protest that there was no intent to
do what they had a perfect right
to do if they wished, is but to
play the game according to rules
laid down by the enemy. The po-
sition of the Grange seems impreg-
nable and it will prove so if their
cause is not weakened by reaction
aries and players within the
order. And the outrage will have
the effect of bringing into the
limelight the standpatters and trim
mers as we'll as the worthy members
of the Grange movement.

has the advantage of being able to
add these expenses to the price of
what he sells. He can come out
whole, while the average working
man, the consumer, has nc one
against whom he can charge up his
expenses.
LAS to the charge that the en-
ployer will be driven out of bust
ness by heavy taxation, it needs only
to be pointed out that it is his
profits that are to be taxed and
as long as he has profits which
warrant taxation he will suffer no
wrong from the government. If
one man does not want to carry on
his business because of the heavy
taxes, someone else will take it up.
"'Driven out of business What
will he live on if he gives up his
business? There may be a few
who can retire on their gains, but
business will have to be carried
on and the government will have
no interest in taking it out of ex-
istence. The whole thing comes
back to the fact that cannot be es-
capped, that those who have the prof
its or nome will have to pay the
expenses of this war.
at is plain that money must be
provided for expenses before they
can be met. That is why Congress
has to face the problem now of
finding out where the money is and
low it can be made available for
meeting future expenses. The work
ng people are going to continue to
10 their share. There is no escape
for them. They have nothing to do
With fixing the price they pay for
heir daily living, the paying of war

HIGH COMMENTATOR
FOR LABOR MISSION

NEW YORK, June 15.-The World
editorialized on the result of the
American labor mission to Europe
rs follows:
"The return of the American la
Dor mission, which, representing the
Federation of Labor, has visited
Great Britain and France, marks the
completion of an errand. whose i'm
portance can hardly be overestimat-
ed. Both as to the character of
The delegates and the manner in
which they carried themselves,
sometimes under great provocation,
our principal organization of work
ingmen is to be congratulated. No
trained diplomatists could have done
better No other Americans in any
walk of life could have exhibited a
loftier patriotism.
"These men had something more
to say to the trade-unionists Of
Great Britain and France than that
organized labor in the United States
is pledged to the last man and the
last dollar in support of the war.
Their mission abroad comprehended
also the assurance to workingmen
everywhere that there is no SYM
pathy in this country with the ex-
tremists and Missionaries, deriving
their inspiration chiefly from Ger
man sources, who hope by an incon-
elusive peace to instigate a war of
classes and repeat on a larger scale
the follies which in Russia have
Frustrated industry and for the
time being defeated democracy.
sour labor mission has spoken
with authority, and, according to all
accounts, its message has been re-
ceived approvingly and hopefully by
most of the workingmen of Great
Britain and France, who, like our
own, see no prospect of justice or
progress in autocratic militarism or
in intolerable anarchy"

DOLLAR-CHASING
MILL OWNERS
NOW REJOICE

WASHINGTON, June 15.--In com
menting on the recent decision of
the United States supreme court in
declaring the child labor law in
valid, the Herald says:
"For years vain battles have been
fought in many states to prevent
exploitation of children in the mills.
The south has been especially guilty
of this, the blood, the youth, the
health, the very life of little boys
and girls being coined into dollars
by the owners of textile mills. There
was well-nigh universal rejoicing,
therefore, when in 1916 Congress
passed and the President heartily
approved law forbidding interstate
shipment of products of child la
Dor.
"Now all this work has been I'M
done by a five-to-four reactionary
decision of the United States su-
preme court. In order to knock
out the law Justice Day, who hand
ed down the opinion, invoked the
sacred fetch of state rights. JUS
tice Holmes, in his dissenting opin-
ion, concurred in by Justices Nc
Kenna, Brandeis and Clarke, put the
case so clearly that he who runs
may read:
"'The act does not NEEDLE with
anything belonging to the states.
They may regulate their internal at
fairs and their domestic commerce
as they like. But when they seek
to send their products across the
state line they are no longer within
their rights. If there were no con-
stitution and no Congress their pow
er to cross the line would depend
upon their neighbors."
an other words, North Carolina
mills may employ child labor all they
want and peddle their blood-stained
goods all over the state. But it is
up to other states to say whether
they desire to have such goods ship
ped into their confines.
Nothing that is North Carolina
by right is interferred with. But
the states of the union, speaking
through their duly elected repre-
sentatives in Congress and through
the president, have joined by ma
iority vote in saying what they will
permit to be shipped outside OF
North Carolina. North Carolina
has no inherent right to dictate tC
other states what kind of stuff she
shall be permitted to sell within
their borders.
"The law, the logic, the common
sense and the humanity of the
Holmes dissenting opinion are unan'
swerable, Greedy, dollar-chasing mil
owners alone will rejoice in Justice
Days dictim."

PLACE THE TAXES

BOSTON, June 15.-In response
to questions put to Secretary Frank
Morrison of the American Fedora
ton of Labor by the Washington
representative Of the Christian Sci
ence Monitor. he replied as follows
on the impending revenue legisla-
ton now before Congress for ac-
ton:
"On incomes and profits is where
taxes should be placed. 1t is i'm
possible to speak in detail of how
taxes should be distributed at the
present time. 1t is a great prob
lem to be worked out by Congress
There is this to be said, how
ever; labor is bigger than taxes.
Labor conditions are going through
many changes. Before the war
there were hundreds of thousands
of unemployed in the United States
and Canada. There were so many
that when census was taken they
did not dare to make it public. The
war has taken up the slack, nothing
more. There are still in some places,
many unemployed laborers. This
is being taken care of, however.

shifting the men from their homes.

their living expenses are proportion
ately higher. They are paying their
taxes, high ones, too, in everything
they have to buy. They can do no
more. The employer has greater
expenses than formerly also. but he
