Letters from the People
Mr.. Editor:

In your speech at the Horse Heaven
picnic Sunday, you referred to the OBJ
durate Stacker and made some allus-
ion as to what should be done with
him when the war is over. I find
among the loyal people of this and
other communities there is marked
sentiment toward finding out what
ought to be done with the Stacker now
right now. These people who re-
fuse to do their share toward standing
behind the flag and contributing to the
Red Cross and similar movements are,
as you say, traitors to their country,
the "yellow streak in the red blood of
a nation" and their elimination from
all benefits to be derived by any pro-
lection from this government is a
thing to be desired and would add
much to the virility of our nation as
a whole.
If it is practical to set them afloat
in some old boat with its nose pointed
toward Germany at the close of the
war, why not DO 1T NOW? The
sooner, the better, it seems to me.
However, it appears to me the people
have a remedy in their own hands
which they can apply that will be al
most as far-reaching and effective,

ExEcUTiv7 HEAD OF PEOPLES ORGANIZATION OUTLINES CLEAR ING HOUSE FOR DEMOCRACY.

Declaring that it Is the business of the Peoples Council of America to ''establiCh a common meeting ground, -sa clear house for the liberal and radi- cal elements in American life," and to construct channels through which peoples of the world may make com mon cause against depotisrn," Scot Nearing, newly elected chairman of the executive committee of the coun- eil issued a statement in which he challenges the motives of those who have citicised the course and the plat 6orm of the council movement
 The statement is a personal utter ance upon the part of Dr. Nearing, setting forth his reason for accepting the chairmanship of the committee and for devoting his entire time to the work of the council.
 Dr. Nearing says:
 Speaking for myself, l may say that l have accepted the chairmanship of the executive committee of the Peo- seems to offer an unusual opportunity to work for liberty, justice and democ- racy. l am aware of the difficulties and dangers that beset us. I am equally aware of the fact that we rep resent the ideas and ideals of millions of American men and women, who look to us for statesmanlike leader ship.
 "The Peoples Council has played an important part in the world crisis.
 1 we have advocated an early and democratic peace. The leading states men of England. France, Russia and the United States are now unanimous on that point.
 We urged that the United States issue a statement of peace terms. The President has made such statement in his reply to the pope.
 We have insisted that the world cannot be a safe living place for the human race until politics ard 1T lr.~try are demOcratized Nothing could be more emphatic than the rope tee dec larations of the allies. and in parti- cular President Wilson, that this war has as it's object the establishment of world wide democracy.

Teday Crucial Time

"The source and the character of the opposition which we have encoun- cred mere emphasize the importance of the long. 01ard struggle for liberty. justice and democracy that lies before us. The forces of reaction are well organized and linked closely together. The forces of progress have quarreled on minor points, and some times failed to unite their efforts on the point where agreement was possible. It Is the business of the Peoples Council to find those points of probable agree ment and thus to establish a common meeting ground, a clearing house for the liberal and radical elements in American life. We must go further and by cooperating with similar move ments in other collntI1es-notably in England and in Russia-'we must con- struct the channels through which the peoples of the world may make com mon cause against despotism, while they federate the common world pur- pose of an equal opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

program have already been incorporat- ed into government policy, and we confidently expect that in the near fu- ture more will be done in that direc- tion-
 We are Americans, and we stand for the best and truest things in Amer ican life.
 We have demanded freedom of con- science and the right of free speech, iree assemblage and the free press. We have called upon Congress to save the people from the food gamblers, of their number put in the way of the government, that work has begun.
 We believe that wealth should pay fo rthe war. What percentage of the American people believe otherwise? We demand in the name of liberty and justice, that the authorities check industrial tyranny. What could be more in accord with the spirit of America?
 The Peoples Council has lived it's life and done it's work in the open. It has nothing to conceal The charges of 'disloyalty. 'un-Americanisn' and pro -Germanism' that have been made against us are -warranted, and in many cases deliberately false.
 Our books are open. We have in- vited the Department of Justice to visit our offices, to examine our rec- Ords, and to acquaint itself fullv r--'tN our activities We represent neither large number of Americans-men and women in every walk of life, who have united their efforts in the interests of democracy and peace.
 Why is Council Prosecuted?
 Sensational charges have been made against us. Where is the evil dence? If the charges had been true, do you think that the Department of Justice would have delayed so long? A great many hard names have been called. Who called them? Why?
 We have not been denounced by labor unions, granges Socialist locals or other organizations that represent the common people of America. Pass over the villification and abuse; ignore the ridicule; look behind the misre- presentation, and you will find that the Peoples Council has advocated certain measures and has done certain things that are extremely distasteful to the reactionary elemen. in Ameri- can public life.
 I've do not expect tl,@ vested in- t,rC:ts to champion ou: course; We did not anticipate that the masters Of special privilega would be attracted by our program. We are 9 Fecnlc's Coun- cil, and as such We have every reason to believe that the forces that are of fered to popular government in the United States would oppose us in our work by every means within their memory
