Vardanan's Fall

"The unafraid white Democratic vot-
ers in Mississippi" had the good sense
to prevent the reelection of Senator j. K.
Vardaman at the primary election Tues
day. The Senator tried to ride into
Office on the back of the detested negro
once too often. The voters saw through
his camouflage. Nobody but Vardaman
is afraid of negro domination. 1t was
on that issue he got his present Senate
seat after violent campaign in 1911,
when he travelled through the state in
triumphal chariots drawn by white oxen.
His appeal to race hatred in his cam
paign for reelection was not enough to
cloud his war record. The issue had
been put squarely up to the voters by
letter to M. S. Mcneil, former Varda
man supporter, to whom President Will
son wrote:
"If the voters Of Mississippi should
again choose Senator Vardaman to rep
resent them, should be obliged
to accept their action as a condemnation
Of my administration, and it is only
fair that they should know this before
they act"
The Senator replied by insisting that
this was "unwarranted interference in
Mississippi politics." and then sought to
play upon the old feeling between the
South and the North thus:
For the good of the Republic, thank
God, the Senator from Mississippi is to
be nominated by the unafraid white
Democratic voters of Mississippi, and
not by the dictation of citizen of New
Jersey"
Opponents Of the Senator were quick
to point out that Woodrow Wilson was
born and reared in Virginia, that he
lived and practised law for several years
in Georgia, where he married his first
wife, and that he went to New Jersey
as president of Princeton University.
Mississippi refused to fall for the
Senator's time worn issues. The state
improved it's representation in the Sen
ate by giving the Democratic nominal
ton to Representative Pat Harrison
which is tantamount to his election.

body. But it is clear that if man who
obtains deferred classification because
he is doing essential work ceases volun-
tarily to do it, except through illness or
disability, he cannot expect to retain his
deferred classification. He cannot be at
the same time usefully employed and not
usefully employed.
Moreover, the government now has
the right, without further legislation, to
apply the work or fight" rule. The
Thomas amendment does not give it ad-
ditional authority. 1t only expresses Con-
gressional approval of existing methods
of draft classification.
The tempest over the Thomas amend
ment is tempest of misplaced epithets
and murky phraseology. The Insult to
labor" is imaginary. There is no Gin
suit" in conscription. The war cannot
be won unless we are all willing to be
conscripted and are also willing to work
or fight.
New-York tribune., 1918-08-22

Our idea of nothing useful is a trip to
Washington to protest against an 80 per
cent tax On war profits. That serves also
for our notion of what is futile We can
afford to do anything more than Eng
land, and that is all England does t.
war profits. But we think everybody's
war profits ought to be taxed Does Mr..
kltchin? Fancy trying to get 80 per
cent of the war profits Of cotton plant
ers and wheat growers and cattle
raisers by the simple method of SUBJ
tracing their average annual pre-war
earnings from their current gains and
calling the difference a war profit!

Pacifsts Can Hardly
Get Hearing

There Is not trade union in England
in which the pacifists could muster decent
minority-let alone a majority-on q
straight, we'll defined vote Pacifists NAV
hold office in the unions, but it is in spite
of their pacifsm, not because of it. There
are very few constituencies in which paci-
fists can get hearing, and the districts
which are strongest in labor organization
are the most bitterly hostile to them.
favorite trick Of the professional paci-
hst is to point to the evidences of unrest
and revolt which arise as so many signs Of
opposition to the war. suppose that some
people are deceived by this trick. though
one would think it too Transparent to fool
a child. The fact is that the unrest and
dissatisfaction are frequently most marked
among the intensest supporters of the war.
Ihelr agitation is frequently a phase of
'heir patriotism and passion to see the war
waged to victory. They suspect, for ex-
ample. that the war is being mismanaged,
and so they protest with vigor. Or they
may think that Tommy Atkins is not get
ting s1uare deal and so fay the govern
ment. Or it may be that they feel that
democratic progress at homo should go
hand in hand with war for democratic
freedom and fight bitterly against oppres
sivs and reactionary tendencies. Such un
rest is quite easy to understand: it has
nothing to do with pacifsm. and the sooner
that bit of mass psychology is grasped the
better
In England to-day there is great dsa,
OF such unrest. and it is freely expressed

a resulting war neurasthenia which results

A Tempest of Phrases

Mr.. Morrison's protest in the name of
organized labor against the work or
fight" clause in the draft bill confuses
the question. He and Mr.. Gompers have
interjected an irrelevant issue. The
country would sustain them if there were
any substance in their complaint that
the work or fight" rule is an insult to
of the sort. Labor, unionized and un-
unionized, has been making sacrifices to
carry on the war Labor's attitude has
been patriotic, So has the attitude of
every other element in the community.
The exceptions have been individual and
negligible.
But Congress cannot insult any class
by approving of the work or fight"
principle. This principle applies to all
to the unemployed, to professional men,
to business men, to anybody who is fit
for military or war industry service. To
read into it an attack on the peace privi-
ieges of any particular class is to mis-
understand it completely.
~'' @A"A Il tSOii USES WOTQS WuIcn carry
with them unpleasant controversial i'm
pllcations. He speaks Of "the men who
conceived this deceptive method of con-
scripting labor"
The selective draft act conscrinted
labor. The new act, which Mr.. Morrison
does not oppose, conscripts it further.
All men mt for service between the ages
fixed by Congress are automatically con-
scripted. Those not exempted for physi-
cal unfltness or because they are aliens
are put into various classifications. II
they have dependents, or if they are en-
gagged in essential war occupations, they
are assigned to the deferred groups.
But they remain conscripts. The gov
ernment still has the power to send
them into the ranks.
The work or fight" rule has nothing
to do with conscription. 1t is simply a
regulation governing classifcations. It
provides that when man ceases to have
the qualifications which put him into
deferred class he shall revert to Glass l.

tendency class. If he is EMPLOYED. in

as whole is buying more, using more,
