 This idolatry is at the bottom of our whole fight against Germany. It Is the secret of the whole revolting list of outrages and atrocities which Ger many has committed against the civil ized world. The violation of Belgium, the Aimerian atrocities, the unspeak- able horrors of submarine warfare, all these are the outcome of creed which holds that no laws of morality are binding when the defense of the state idol is at stake.
 "The result of this violating of the foundations of morality by Germans are bound to be colossal and far-reach- ing. They mean the degeneracy of the whole German structure, and the ef- fects are already seen in the wave of crime and immortality which is sweep ing over Germany. So long as the gov

the degree of his responsibility for
the war. He should be accommodated
All possible light should be shed on

tion Of report by the Bavarian min
lister at Berlin has started the process,
and the new German government
should complete it by bringing to view
every "scrap of paper" bearing on
the proceedings Of the month Of July,
1914. Perhaps some clue may be
found to the mystery Of Grand Duke
Ferdinand's visit to Serajevo in the
face Of warning that plot had been
formed to kill him. The question Of
who was to blame for the decision at
Berlin to support Austria in her i'm
possible demands on Serbia is of less
consequence than that of who was
responsible for the crime which fur
nished the excuse for the war.

Red Flags and Red-Flagism.

More red flag trouble has occurred
in New, York, men in uniform attack
ing persons in attendance at q social
ist meeting and roughly handling those
who wore tokens symbolic Of the pro-
hibited banner. The hoard Of alder
men has passed an ordinance, by a
vote Of So to z, prohibiting the dis
play Of red fags at public parades OF
meetings. This measure, however, does
not go far enough. The real menace
is not in the symbol, but in the thing
itself. At these meetings sentiments
are expressed which are in spirit sub
versive ;, of government. They are
phrased carefully just barely to avoid
the law. They praise bolshevism or
anarchism, they condemn the govern
ment, they are calculated to arouse
feeling Of hostility to organized insti-
tutions and to infame class prejudice.
They are distinctly harmful, even
though they represent small fraction
of the people. Tolerance Of these agi-
tations is only justified on the score
Of "free speech" and on the ground
that it is better to let the radicals
have vent through public expression
than to bottle them up for secret fer
ment. Just at this time, however, it
is decidedly dangerous to permit these
agitations to continue unchecked, and
the mere prohibition Of red flags does
not meet the need Of safety.

MONEYS Communication.

Gov. Stephens action in committing
to imprisonment for life the death
sentence Of Thomas Mooney, viewed
quite apart from all consideration Of
Justice, undoubtedly removes from the
field Of controversy and possible agi-
tation a case that has given rise to
much anxiety. Mooney, convicted Of
principal participation in the bomb
outrage in San Francisco Of July, 1916,
is regarded by members Of labor or
CARNATIONS as the victim Of persecu-
ton and perjured testimony. De-
mands for his pardon, for retrial or
for Communication have been voiced by
these organizations and preparations
have been made for a general strike in
protest against his execution. So keen
has been the feeling on the subject
that President Wilson has on two oe-
casions urged the governor to exer-
else his power Of clemency, which that
Official has now done, directly and ex-
plicitly in compliance with the Presi-
dents request.
If Thomas Mooney is not guilty Of the
crime of which he is accused he has
{ been most dreadfully prosecuted. IF he
Iis guilty of that crime he is not entitled
at this time to the mercy Of com
mutation. The cease" for Mooney has
been strongly stated, with much evi-
dence of unfairness at his trial and
indications that the convicting testi-
mony was perjured. On the other
hand, all the courts Of review have re-
jected these claims and confirmed the
conviction as justified by the evidence.
Had Mooney been executed in ac-
|cordance with the sentence passed
upon him there would undoubtedly
have been a conviction on the part Of
many Americans of a miscarriage of
justice. On the other hand, there has
been a feeling that partisanship has
prevailed to obscure the case, and that
the pressure brought to bear upon the
courts and the executive Of California
was inimical to justice. Gov. Stephens
action does not resolve the doubt as
to Moneys guilt or innocence. It
merely prevents his execution, but
leaves him under conviction. That
further efforts will be made to secure
his freedom may be assumed, MONEYS
friends will probably never rest as
long as he remains in custody. The
important fact, however, now stands
that by the action Of the governor the
case is, as already stated, removed
from the sphere Of agitation at a time
of great strain, and is to be regarded
as in the interest Of domestic peace.

German Counter Revolution.

Details are lacking of the charge
made by Herr Barth, secretary for So
eisl policy in the Ebert ministry, at a
meeting in Berlin of the soldiers and
workmen's council that counter revo-
luton is in progress. Barth declared
that several generals have issued coun-
ter revolutionary proclamations and
have attempted to dissolve the coun-
cils; that the chief army command had
been ordered to come to Berlin; that
the dismissal of Gen. Eberbard had
been demanded, and that, no reply hay-
ing been received, the chief army COM
mand will be arrested if the order is
disregarded.
That Q conflict would occur between
the German revolutionists and the
leaders of the old regime was to be
expected. Whether the revolution was
in its first stage genuine or a mere
cover for the temporary advantage of
the military party, it has plainly now
reached the point of sincerity and is
progressing toward an actual change
in the form Of government. But, re-
gardless of the question of its initial
genuineness, there was certain to be
an effort to defeat it, and it was most
natural to expect that effort to be
made nv militarists
It is to be hoped that the conflict
between the revolution and the old
regime will develop speedily and reach
q result before the peace conference
has been concluded. For it is i'm
portant that before the signatures are
affixed to the treaty Of Paris Germany
should have reached a state of sta
bility. Else complications would i'm
.mediately develop, with the possibil-
ity Of "a renewal of the war.
Rehabilitation of the kaiser under
any form of government is not to be
contemplated. This means that there
must be no restoration to authority of
those who formed the organization
that led Germany into war and pre-
cipitated the catastrophe of 1914. It
means that there must be Germany,
of whatever proportions, free from
,junkerism and miitarism. Whether
this occurs through the division of
the former German empire into sew
eral separate states or its reorganiza-
tion as whole under new form Of
government, the result must be Ger
many of a Germanic group of states
which cannot again disturb the peace
of the world.
Breach of relations between Bavaria
and the Berlin government is an
nouneed, Sowing to the efforts of Ber-
lin to deceive the people by withhold
ing the truth about conditions" This
may mean that Bavaria has definitely
decided for an independent organiza-
tion, which would be one Of the sur
est guarantees against a revival of
the Germanic menace.
