THE VOTERS BE HANGED!

NE gathers from the reported conVer-
sations of the political leaders that
the work Of making up the State ticket
is to be done by the bosses, who are prac-
ticing business as usual" and that the
voters are to be permitted to perform the
functions of a rubber stamp at the pri-
maries.
There can be no other meaning to the
serious consideration given to the reports
that the Ware and Penrose people are
about to get together. The little politi-
clans accept these reports. They expect
harmony in advance Of the primaries
that there may be addition, division and
silence afterward.
And why shouldn't they expect it?
Who governs the State, anyway? Ger
tainly not the voters. They do not choose
the candidates put up at the primaries.
Somebody else holds a pre-primary and
decides whether John Doe or Richard
Roe shall run for the governorship and
the lieutenant governorship. And the
an1date, when elected, admits that his
loyalty is due first to the man or group
of men who picked him out of the field
and elevated him on the pedestal of
power.
The sovereign voters, permitted to
cast their ballots for his nomination, that
the forms Of law may be observed, are
mere rubber stamps; and the Governor,
wher elected, serves in his turn as con-
venent rubber stamp for the men who
permit him to put the seal of approval
on what they want done.
This rubber-stamp business is thriving
in spite Of the war, and the voters may
go hang for all that the pre-prmary
manipulators care.
Why. they are even now talking as if
the prosecutions in the Fifth Ward mur-
der case were matters of barter between
rival leaders and as if the processes Of
the courts themselves could be stopped
at the orders of the politicians inter
ested in protecting the guilty. But no
one is shocked. We accept it all as a
matter of course and stand by holding
the garments of the brutal leaders while
political independence is stoned to death.
1t is certainly most humiliating situa-
tion this of great Commonwealth sub
mitting to a political oligarchy while the
nation is engaged in world war that
democracy may be preserved. But,
zens seem to feel the humiliation. Most
Of them appear contented with the way
the sef-appointed rulers of the State
exercise their power; at least they are
not protesting.
IF they are discontented they have yet
to give public evidence of their state Of
mind. If any considerable number of
voters were discontented these cond-
tions could not survive another election,
| for the politicians would be forced to
| "pande to a sense of public decency," as
one distinguished statesman once put it.
There may develop before the spring is
over a spirit Of independence somewhere
which will assert itself and demand the
nomination of candidates for the govern
orship and lieutenant governorship who
are their own masters and will owe
allegiance to the whole State rather than
to group of pre-primary manipulators
and dickerers of patronage and spoils.
But at present it looks as if the policy
of "the voters be hanged" were to
triumph. We can already hear the ham,
mers driving the nails in the gbbet

THE ENGLISH MUNITIONS SCANDAL

exposure VI tolpSSdl
l. profits in England, which has reused
a tumut of recrimnaton in the press,
comes as a belated but highly significant
commentary upon the labor disputes which
Lloyd George settled with difficulty at the
outset of the war. 1t was demonstrated
by a recent official inquiry that isolated
groups of manufacturers have managed
to squeeze by every governmental restrc
ton with plunder that sometimes aggre-
gated five times the cost of production.
When the English trades unions-the
miners. machinists, shipbuilders and dock
workers-were asked at the beginning Of
the war TO relnquish temporarily and for
motives of patriotism the rights and prvi-
leges which they had won through long
and hard years of agitation, they expressed
a willingness to make such sacrifices If
their employers would manifest like
spirit. The torrent of accusations let
loose on British laboring mer at that time
involved all sorts of charges, from habitual
drunkenness to treason. The differences
we're finally adjusted through the media
ton of Lloyd George.
The expose of the munition profiteers
seems to indicate at last something of the
origin of that forgotten crisis.S
