der the name of free speech. But in
time of war, the preaching and prac-
tice Of this sort of internationalism
becomes treason.
When Judge Lands last week i'm
posed heavy sentences of fine and
imprisonment on the convicted /. w.
W. leaders, he pointed out that, once
war is declared, the legal right of
free speech to oppose going to war
and to oppose preparations for war
is at an end.
The case against the I. w. w. pris-
oners was clear and complete. Their
own counsel could make no closing
argument in their behalf. They had
attempted to block Americas war
on Germany, to paralyze American
industries, to shut down the mines, to
destroy the shipping, to ruin the
crops, to prevent the enlistment of
men in the service, and to bring
about a general strike of all workers.
This vas their avowed program. 1t
matters not whether what they
planned and attempted to carry out
was inspired by pro-Germanism, or
whether it was part Of their campaign
for internationalism. It's effect was
the same. And for what they did "a
I. w. w. leaders have been sentenced
to Imprisonment for various terms,
ranging from 10 days up to 20 years.
William D. Haywood, the chief of
the organization, is a man who, for
years has rested under the suspicion
Of murder. Harry Orchard is now
serving time in prison for the murder
of Governor S%teunenberg of Idaho,
after having testified that his deed
was inspired by Haywood. But Hay
wood was acquitted by the jury, if
not by public opinion. He is a born
anarchist, an Inscriptions agitator,
a master in stirring ignorance into
violence. Even if he be credited with
sincerity in his devotion to the incen-
diary doctrines he has promulgated,
he still has received less than his
deserts at the hands Of the law.
Haywood expresses the belief that
the organization he. has built up will
go on, despite the Temporary with
drawal Of a hundred members" 1t is
no, likely. The /. w. w. has received
a mortal blow. But if new leaders
step forward to take the places Of
those just sentenced, the agencies of
safety and order are better
equipped than ever before to see that
adequate punishment descends upon
them quickly.-Journal.

THE l. w. w.

Internationalism is a large, mouth
filling word. It creates an impress
sion of breadth, of human brother
hood, Of a spacious dream in which
war and %privation and injustice and
other ills are to be forever banned.
But the internationalism of the So
cialists, and the Independent Work
ers Of the World is a conception based
on the destruction and not the alli-
ance Of the various nationalisms Of
the world. 1t calls for the overthrow
Of the present institutions and the
erection of a new social order.
Nations are to be broken up, to
make place for the new International
ism. The ~proletariats of the world
are to be allied, and to rule over the
"bourgeoisies." What the Bolsheviki
have sought to bring about in Russia,
is to be a world condition. Indeed,
the Bolshevist hope was that their
example would prove contagious, and
that out Of the pieces into which the
nations would break would be built
the new order Of things.
Internationalism in the l. w. w.
socialist conception means wreck and
ruin. Specifically in this country it
means the overthrow Of the republic,
and the destruction of it's cherished
institutions. In time of peace, it
might be borne that such theories
should be discussed, so tolerant are
Americans of excuses committed un-

out. Even among Mexicans they find
themselves objects of contempt.
Of these men, who will be prose-
cuted and given the full penalty of
the law whenever they return to the
United States, General Crowder says:
"Their lot is one of constant harass-
ment. In Mexico City, where the
most wealthy ones have established
a colony, they are o~stracized COM
pletely, not only by other Americans
resident in the city who are above
draft age, but by natives as well.
They are constantly subjected to in
suits and tainted as they pass
through the streets"
But with all these irritants of a
state of misery, the bitterest pill of
all must be the slacker's complete loss
of self respect. These young men,
many if not most of them supported
by wealthy parents, have abundance
of time on their hands in which to
compare themselves, towards, desert
ing their fundamental obligations in
time of need, with that magnificent
fire of young manhood in France
blazing itself through aery clouds or
desolate entertainments to glory.
The soldiers life may be hard. But
is easier in any case than that of
the wretched miscreant who, turning
under the crucial test, finds
himself abhorred both of mar and of
God.

USING SAME DOPE HERE

That the Townley peddlers of po-
litical "slush" are endeavoring to
force the same class of "Townley
machine politics" on the farmers of
Montana as they have in North Da-
kota, is evidenced by the following
editorial from the North Dakota
State Journal:
Don't read the newspapers that
are fighting the cause" is the in
struction given farmers of North Da-
kota by the Townley machine. In
Germany they don't allow the people
to read newspapers published out
side the German empire--the people
might learn the true facts regarding
the war-and that would be against
Kaiser Bill. And if the North Dako-
tans read the independent newspapers
they will learn the true facts about
Townley-and that doesn't suit the
Townley machine. This order from
the big boss isn't working just as
Townley would have it and the farm
ers are waking up to the fact that
there are two sides to every question
and they are wondering why they
shouldn't read the newspapers if they
want to-"
The local Townley organ, just be-
fore the primaries, came out with a
heavy CD editorial admonishing the
farmers not to "argue," to simply go
in and vote as Townley and his picked
lieutenants told them to vote. Can
you imagine anything nearer to "Kai-
serism?"

THE SURE CURE

A millionaire kaiserist on the Pa
cifc coast recently pleaded guilty to
the charge of violating the espionage
law, and was fined $4,000.
To a millionaire who has any nerve
or devotion to his cause, such a pen
atty has about as much deterrent eff
feet as a fine of 10 cents would have
on a prosperous mechanic. We must
go farther if we expect to put an end
to enemy activities in this country.
We must provide four penalties for
every proved disloyalist:
Forfeit his citizenship.
Confiscate his property-to the last
copper.
Intern him for the duration of the
war.
Deport him when the war is over.
Only by such a program can the
kaiser's campaign in America be
crushed. That campaign is going on
today with great activity. 1t will be
intensified whenever the signal comes
from Berlin to start another peace
drive. 1t will persist throughout all
the later stages of the war, and it
will plague and confuse our councils
after the war-unless we deal with
it now.
No quarter for imported kaiserism
If home bred disloyalty. Give us a
law embodying the four penalties
named above and the kaiser's drive
in America will collapse in a month.

THE DUTY TO REGISTER

III DOTT TO NEG1STER
A person who is qualified to register as a voter. and who y
does not register, is a Stacker. \
In America, a citizen has a voice in the affairs of his gov =
eminent. He cannot, of course, speak directly in those af-
fairs, but he does speak indirectly through his ballot, by his
choice of officers and of principles which the various political y
parties advocate. =
It follows, then, if one who enjoys the great privilege of y
the franchise is interested in the welfare of this country he
will not neglect either to register for voting, or to vote. >

BUILDING the City.

The new and better world after the
war, of which we dream these days,
will not build itself any more than
the rubble which marks the site Of
Ypres or Louvain will come together
of itself into beautiful and splendid
buildings, observes a writer. 1t win
take time and struggle and infinite pa
tience, and If men and women are not
willing to pay the price Of new and
better world, such will not come mere
ly because they have airy visions OF
It. Much Of our talk about better
things to come is too cheap and easy
and has not enough Of grip and pur-
pose to make it worth much. What
God is giving us, and will give us in
those great after-the-war days, is a
wonderful opportunity, but we shall
have to meet that opportunity with
heroic endeavor and self-sacrificing eff
fort before it can possibly become
fruitful. Talk Is cheap and dreams are
sweet and inspiring, but it is not with
these alone that the Kingdom Of God
is builded in the earth and mankind
is won for righteousness and brother
hood.

NIGHT AND DAY IN LONDON
Toilers Work Along Just the Same
Through AiliHours, Making MU-
nltione of War.

The war seems to have done away
with the difference between night and
day. The period of rest and the pc
rfOd of exertion seem to have merged
themselves into one long period. I
look out on the river at two or three
In the morning and 1t Is as busy as the
river at midday, writes Grace Boyn-
ton Monks in. the Outlook. Barges are
being towed up and down and goods
being shipped from the wharves. Huge
vans rattle along the road beneath my
window and the streets are as full Of
people at night as they are in the day
time.
At Woolwich arsenal there are two
12-hour shifts and as much work is
done BY night as by day. The other
evening motored from the Manorway
gate Of the arsenal to the entrance Of
the danger buildings and returned just
as the nights shift was going in to
work. The chauffeur had to go at a
snail's pace, blowing his horn continu-
ally. The broad roads which run be-
tween the buildings were crowded
from side to side. swarming with work
ers, principally women. They had to
crowd together at the side Of the road
to make room for the car to pass.
These women were going in on II
hour night shift-some whose work
would be purely mechanical, others
who would have difficult operations to
perform and many who worked in act
ual danger.
Those who were going to the build
ings from which I had just come know
that unless they took the utmost care
there was danger Of an explosion, and
had night and succession Of nights
and days to look forward to when they
would be breathing in yellow powder

WARNS AGAINST WASTING AIR
Southern Pacific Railway Company
Cites Attention of Employees
to q Real Expense.
Don't waste the air."

~Don't waste the air."
This injunction, indicating the pass
ing of the last free commodity known
to man, has been added to the c0nser-
walton program Of the Southern Pacific,
says Financial America. The attention
of thousands Of workmen in the rail-
road shops at Los Angeles, Sacra-
mento and Oakland is being directed
to the fact that compressed air, used
to drive many machines and tools, rep
resents a real expense. In fact, the
'high cost of air. is giving the COM
pany economists some concern.
g. w. Rear, general bridge inspec-
tor for the company, estimates that
a half-inch leak in compressed-air
tank will offset the work Of a To-
horse power engine and the cost OF
horse power varies from less than
cent to 80 cents per hour, depending
upon the size of the plant, amount Of
attendance, etc. Usually the loss Is
greater than the money cost, due to
decreased output on account of insult
ficient air supply.
The expression free as air" has no
relevancy in the Southern Pacific
shops.

LESS SINKABLE SHIP COMING
drlcaI Shells Joined Throughout
Length by Diaphragms.

The French government has con-
tracted with the Foundation company,
which is building wooden ships for thu
Emergency Fleet corporation, to turn
out for it five cargo "nonsinkable
ships of 4,20O tons dead weight.
The hull Of these ships, says the
New York Sun, is to consist Of two
parallel cylindrical shells Joined
throughout their length by series Of
heavily braced diaphragms. Each cyl
indrical shell is divided not only into
watertight compartments by trans
verse bulkheads, but also is isolated
entirely from the adjoining shell and
from the sealed space between the
two. The latter space, which has a
watertlght bottom and deck, is not
used for cargo, but is provided solely
for reserve buoyancy.
"It should not be called an unsink-
able Ship" said Mr.. Boero. II would
call 1t rather one Of the less sink
able ships. It is seldom that a ship
has received more than one torpedo.
It is extremely improbable that ship
will be struck by torpedoes on both
sides. We have tested an expert
mental design thoroughly at Paris,
and have found it entirely satisfac-
tory. The space required for the spe-
cial hull construction does not mate
rally lessen the bulk of cargo that
can be carried. We are convinced
that the ship will keep afloat after II
has been tOrpedoed."

Cement From Beet SUGAR.

A result Of experiments in French
factories is the production Of an excel
lent cement as a by-product Of beet
sugar refining. The first step in the
production Of sugar from beets is boil
ing them. 1t has heretofore been Gus
tomary to throw away as valueless the
scum formed on the caldrons. But 1t
has now been discovered that this
scum contains large quantities Of car
Donate Of lime. 1t is estimated that
1000 tons Of the carbonates can be
recovered from 10000 tons Of beets.
To this quantity of the carbonate 1,1OO
tons Of clay is added, the resultant
product being good cement. The
best scum is pumped into large reser-
voirs and allowed to evaporate for
certain length Of time before being
mixed with the clay. 1t Is then stirred
or beaten for an hour before being fed
into rotary ovens such as are used In
