THE SUPREME COURT

The Supreme Court of the United States has just
handed down lengthy decision holding that the Sc
lectve Draft Law is Constitutional To bolster up their
opinion they even went back to the middle ages for
precedent. Really it is quite appropriate that they
should go back to the middle ages for authority No
should be surprised, however Some time ago, before
we became connected with the paper we published an
Answer in the legal advice column in which stated
in reply a question: that although there is consider
able doubt to the conStitutionay of the draft law
yet the supreme court could be depended hold that
it is constitutional.
Any who has read Meyers History of the Supreme
Court has ample and convincing proof that federal
court intended to be and is the ultimate bulwark
of the moneyed and arstocratc classes in society,"
and in every crisis it has always up to the
pecatons of its creators in defending the policies and
actions of the master class We earnestly recommend
the above mentioned book to our readers.

TO TURN UPON REDS
MEANS PURE ANARCHY

LONDON-The bolsheviki govern
ment is extremely efficient, energetic
and decisive though faced by noisy
oppressition from the privileged class
and who are doing all they can to
check it by sabotage and libel, &C.
cording to the Petrograd CORE
.spondent Of the Daily News. The
correspondent, who has just return
ed to Petrograd after lengthy visit
in England, says that the city is
more orderly than for some months
before the bolsheviki took control.
The people may not like the bolshe-
wiki, he declares, but they obey them
with startling alacrity, and the gov
eminent is based on real force.
The constituent assembly, the cor
respondent hears, will meet as soon
as delegates from the Ukraine ar
rive, perhaps in 10 days. He as
serts that whatever is the decision
of the assembly as constituted at
present, it will not alter the present
direction of Russian policy, although
it might, by weakening the govern
ment at home, weaken it in it's deal
ings with the Germans.
Any attempt to turn out the boil
sheviki government by force would
result only in anarchy favorable to
the Germans, says the correspondent,
who does not believe that such force
is available. He writes enthusiastic
cally of Leon Trotzky, the bolsheviki
foreign minister, who told him that
the war would be decided by social
rather than military pressure. Trot-
zky is quoted as saying:
"The German democracy looks to
the Russian revolution. 1t is the
recognition of this fact that com
pels the German government to re-
spect Russian principles as the bas-
is of negotiations"
Trotzky said the German offer was
q NiStOl 1ol lilc ucillOCTdIlC move
ment generally, not only of the Rus
sian and German democracy. Aus
tria-Hungary, he said, is on the
point of revolt and every country in
Europe is feeling the pressure of
democracy from below.
Democratic pressure, Trotzky is
quoted as adding, forced the Ger
mans to reject their grandiose plans
of conquest and to accept the peace
in which there are neither con-
queror nor conquered He admitted,
however that such a peace could
hardly be achievtd unless the entente
allies join the negotiations.
Pro-ally Russians, the correspond
ent of the Daily News says, feel that
Germany's terms offered at Brest-
Litovsk were for the purpose of con-
founding the allies and winning sym
pathy. These Russians oppose a
separate peace, but say the next word
belongs to the allies

TEUTON PRISONERS MAY
STAY IN RUSSIA

PETROGRAD--It isn't often that
prisoners get very enthusiastic over
their lot, but it woul seem that
Russia has revolutionized the senti-
ments of the German and Austrian
prisoners as well as their lot. The
Teutons are given the freedom OF
the country, the only prohibition be-
ing that they must not attempt to
return TO their home countries. And
they have no desire to, as their lot
in Russia as free citizens is indefin-
itely better than in the Central EN-
pires. They refuse to return to the
slaughter and despotism to which
they were subjected, and the father
lands are by no means anxious to
have men who have seen freedom re-
turn, for fear of the disturbing in
flunce on political and industrial re-
lations.

BOLSHEVIKI TO STAY

MILWAUKEE--Dr. William T..
Ellis, of Philadelphia, member of
a party of Americans and Britons
who have left Petrograd lately, has
written an article for the Associated
Press on the situation in Russia.
He says
"Bolshevikism is on top. By this
| do not necessarily mean the Boil
shevikism of Lenin and Trotsky, but
the Bolsheviki idea. 1t is there to
stay for a long time. l say it is
on top after the bloody battles of
Kief, Moscow, Petrograd and Odes-
sa, when the Black Sea fleet went
over to Ukraine. 1t is right to
say that back of Bolshevikism there
is the great human passion for the
rights of man and the brotherhood
of nations.
Il think Trotsky is genuine. I
do not think that the case against
Lenin has been proved. You know
the English press has said that
Lenin is a German spy.
There is no hope for the redemp-
tion Of the Russian in the Cossack
hetman Kaledines. The Cossacks can
hold their own, but they can not
overcome the Bolsheviki."

PARTY GROWING IN N. Y.

NEW YORK-Dues-paying mem
bership of the Socialist party in
New York City has increased from
5000 last year to $4,000 at present.
If Mr. and Mrs. Stokes, Walling,
Russell, Slobodin and one or two
others had stuck the membership
would have been half dozen more
than it is.
In Hoboken, Bayonne and Guthen-
berg, NJ j., the Socialists elected
four Justices and number of minor
officials. Official reports of the
elections in New Jersey, which were
held the middle Of November, show
that everywhere the Socialist Party
made big increases, ranging usually
from 100 to 500 per cent.

HIGH COST OF LIVING
PREVENTS SCHOOLING

NEW YORK Something like a
sensation has been caused by the
statement of Edward j. Koch, place
ment director of the High School of
Commerce in this city that many
children could not attend school be-
cause of lack of funds and had no
employment,
"A higher cost of living without
amy corresponding increase in
wages" he said "and the fact that
so many older brothers have been
drafted into the army, thus taking
off the source of income for the
families is responsible for this con
dtion."
Other teachers have endorsed this
report.

ADMINISTRATION FAVORS
LABOR
Burleson's Policy is Repudiated By
Wilson and McAdOO

Observation-Disclosures Gen
eral Burleson's labor policy is to be
sweepingly repudiated in the gov
ernment's administration of the rail
roads.
That is the big outstanding indus
trial fact in the situation of more
than 100000 of railroad employees
with the roads legally in the hands
of Director General McAdoo. It
was the big fact established at the
white house in the conference be-
tween the heads of the four rail-
road brotherhoods and President Will
son.
In place of the autocracy and re-
sentiment and general lack of har-
mony which now afflicts the 100000
employees in the postoffice depart
ment, the 100000 men employed on
railroads are going to have from
the very outset an understanding
with McAdoo as to their right to be
consulted and to have a voice in the
adjudication of every grievance of
every railway employee.
Meantime the members of congress
and of the official world of the ma
tional capital are in the grip of a
sudden conversion to the idea of
public ownership as well as public
operation of the railroad lines.

When the government took control
OF the railroads the capitalists were
taken by surprise; and there were
many expressions of opinion from
individual capitalists and capitalist
newspapers to the effect that it
would be permanent change. That
was before Big Biz had collected
their tho'ts. They have recovered
now, and are organizing their prop
uganda. From now on you will
read nothing of the matter in the
kept press (Which controls the source
OF all general news) excepting stuff
that assures you that government
control will be only temporary; that
1t would be illegal and unconstitu-
tional to keep the railways after the
war; that It would be unethical, ir-
religious etc. Did you think the
erstwhile Railroad Magnates would
give up without a struggle? Not

their minds of the many juicy rail
way melons they have cut.

Spencer pointed out the danger. 1t
is real. The solution lies with the
employees. Under state ownership,
democratic control and management
will effectually forestall any condi-

is left to the government, there is

MURDERERs OF NATURE

Every admirer Of nature should

is a sample:
THE most ruthless and revolt
ing thing that a visitor to the

total destruction Of all trees,
fruit-bcaring and ornamental.
Nearly every tree in the Aisne
department has been felled, and
for what purpose? There ran be
but one-to crippcl the restora-
tion Of northern France to useful
ness. Men and money can re-
build the homes and factories in
a year or two, but TO restore the
orchards and other useful trees
will call for a half century. What
the Germans did to tree life in
northern France was the system

less.

if possible-would be wrought in
