enue measures through the house for
the Democratic administration. He
ought to know. When he makes an
admission like this, it carries a thou
sand times more weight than the pref
udiced apologies for the profiteers
that we read and hear.
These latter would have US be-
lieve that the burdens are at the pres
ent time falling equally upon rich and
poor.
Kitchin says that the taxes on the
rich could be doubled and they would
still be making twice as much as they
were making before the war.
That being the case, what colossal
profits they must be making now!
The simple truth is that the poor
are paying out of their poverty-and
skimping themselves in order to do
so-while the rich are growing richer
out of the war.
Any man or newspaper that tries
to fool the people into believing the
opposite of the truth is not a loyal
citizen-for he does not have the
good of the people at heart.

MAN AND HIS LATHE

I'm standing at my lathe all day,
And this is what I hear it say:
1.-The best of you, the best of me,
Are needed now across the sea.
We do not hear the canhons roar,
No earoplanes come sailing DER
Our heads, and yet from day to day
We two are soldiers in the fray.
"Oh, hand that guides me now be true,
A mighty task is mine to do.
IT'S mine to shape and cut the steel.
With every turning of my wheel
I'm building for that better day
When tyranny shall pass away.
Speed up! Speed up! This thing I
make
May save a thousand lives at stake
I whisper to my lathe: BE strong,
We toll today to right a wrong.
Some of us march to fife and drum,
My music is your busy hum,
And this the hymn you sing to me
Always: My Country, Ills Of Thee
This very day, this very hour,
Well serve the flag with all our
power.
20 lathe of mine, across the sea
They need the work of you and me!
They will be fine if we be true;
They'll hold the line if we but do
This task that now to us is set
Let's keep the faith and not forget!
Speed up! Speed up! Across the sea
Our soldiers wait for you and me-"

THE BASIC EIGHT-HOUR DAY.

The convention of the American
Federation of Labor at st. Paul has
passed several resolutions reaffrm-
ing labor's demand for basic eight
hour day. and the maintenance of
pre-war Standards
Such action on the part of the
workers meets with the disapproval
of some persons, who believe that the
shorter wcrkday agitation should be
dropped for the period of the war;
so that production may be increased
This is misconception. What
labor demands is basic eight-hour
daylight hours of work upon which
to base scale of wages commensur-
ate with the present cost of living.
There is no objection to nine or
ten-hour day during the war, pro-
vided overtime rates are paid for
time over eight hours. But it has
been frequently demonstrated that
the greatest amount of efficiency is
reached with the eight-hour shift,
because that is the maximum time at
which production may be maintained
at a high level.
Labor will not fail in the present
crisis, but demands the eight-hour
day as the medium for proving it's
loyalty in this great emergency.

ORIENTAL LABOR AGAIN.

Cleveland Citizen: In short time
a big drive is to be started by the
propertied interests of California to
have congress amend the immigra-
ton laws and permit, the importation
of Oriental labor. It is possible that
an effort will be made to introduce
the former coolie labor system that
was outlaWed by Federal statute in
1862. Not only have big business in
terests in San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Pasadena and other cities gone on
record in favor of the importation OF
Asiatic labor, but the farmers and
fruit growers are now being strongly
rallied to the movement. Recently
thee was appointed by the College of
Agriculture of the University of Cali
fornia a committee to make an extern
siVe investigation of the subject
among the property owning classes,
and the demand for Asiatic labor is
overwhelming. The demand voiced
through the committee seems to have
represented principally the wish of
the large farmers and fruit growers
of the state, of commercial or finan-
cial interests whose loans or invest
ments are endangered by prospect
of untitled land, small crops or slen-
der profits, and of persons who de-
sire to see an increased agricultural
production under the pressure of war
necessities. In the meantime the la
Dor organizations are as much OPP
posed to the Orientals as before, and
indications are that there will be
big struggle between the opposing
forces before the question is settled.

A WORLDS WORK AHEAD
(From Milwaukee Daily News.)

(From Milwaukee Daily News.)
When this war is over it's great
work will begin. The fighting will,
| in the distant time. be seen to have
been but a beginning, an opening.
| After war comes the revolution.
Then there will be work for the
world. There will be a world to re-
form, to rebuild, materially, phys
ically, mentally and humanity. The
| war swept areas must be rebuilt, the
ground made again to bring forth its
increase for the uses of man. Fami-
lies, governments, nations must be re-
| created, and all the. industries, the
customs, the habits. the life of peo-
pie of civilization started again. For
there is more wreckage in this war
than done by guns or than seen by the
eyes of the present.
Wars material destruction is con-
siderable. That to some degree may
be measured in terms of money, and
careful calculation may tell the days
and the dollars it will take to bring
again normal conditions. But the
spirit Of man has been stirred, his
thoughts have been Jared out of
their normal flow, and never will they
get back to old channels, notwith-
standing the ages spent in cutting
those channels. New ideas have been
taking hold of all the people engaged
and they will have for-reaching in
fluence on the lives of all the nations
at war.
Trade adjustments are one thing to
be experimenting the material
needs of the people of the different
nations whose trade lines have been
disturbed, AMI whose desires have
been changed. But they are not all,
though the most visible portions.
Governmental and political ideas
have grown in the minds Of peoples
who have never seriously developed
such thoughts, who have let others
govern and think for them. That will
mean new, and probably for a time,
distressful, ambitious and trouble
some. Modes of living, it will be
found, have changed, and new con-
seriousness awakened in many peoples.
New national spirit will grow into
strong forces, sensitiveness develop.
Thus the problems will be world wide
and difficult Of solution, calling for
wise leadership by the larger nations,
and helpful direction.
Thus the end of war will bring it's
problems as manifold and even more
difficult than war itself. 1t is the
part of wisdom for this nation to
think of this and prepare to do its
part. From a leader following high
ideals in war, it will be given a great
opportunity to lead again with those
same high ideals as the, compelling
force.

a.
every man, woman and child to
pledge themselves, on or before that
day, to save constantly and to buy
as regularly as possible the securit-
les of the government. War Savings
day, June %, has been fixed as the
end of the drive or special period
of enlistment, as the president says,
"in the great volunteer army of pro-
duction and saving here at home"
The Germans are conducting an Of
fensive in France. American blood
is flowing 1t is claimed that upon
us as nation will depend the fate
of the world. England and France,
Belgium and Italy need our help
with all of our strength. They have
suffered tremendous losses in man
power and now we must step into
the breach.
1t means millions Of men must be
sent: more millions of workers must
be employed in supplying them, in
building ships, in manning ships, in
building railroad supplies, in run
ming railroads both here and in
France, to transport the men, the
munitions and the supplies.
All of these tremendous demands
can only be met by the united efforts
of our people here at home in saving
every bit they can from their wages
or income and buying government
securities, thus transferring their
purchasing power from themselves to
the government, receiving in return
Understanding securities, the safest
in the world.
1t is plainly evident that no ele-
ment in our citizenship has a larger
interest in the success of the War
Savings campaign than the trade
union movement, and for this reason,
alone, as we'll as from general
motives OF patriotism. labor organi-
cations and labor men are urged to
support the request of the president
not only as regards War Savings day,
but to continue thereafter to the end
of the war to support the idea that
every member of organized labor
shall save every possible dollar to
lend to the government.

THRONES | i Al, ARE IO1TERING>
(From Springfield Laborer.)

The present age is fraught with
more potential progress social, indus
trial, economic and political than any
preceding age.
The present era of world convul-
sions presages the entrance of the
people of all countries of all races and
climes into civilization.
The titanic struggle waged today,
tomorrow. next week, next month
possibly for years by the tremendous
hosts of peoples is destined when tho
object of it is successfully accom-
plished, to lead the human race-the
inhabitants of all countries out of
feudalism into un-alloyed democracy.
When the superstitions and SUBJ
mission to the devine right of kings
and potentates to misrule the people
is eradicated even though it be sane
toned by the New Testament
wherein St. Paul says: Let every
one be subject unto the higher power,
for there is no power but of God.
The powers that be are ordained by
God. Whosoever, therefore, resistetn
the powers, resisteth the ordinance of
God, and they that resist shall receive
10 themselves OamnaLlOn.
Founded upon this drivel, the
caesars, the kaisers, the kings and
potentates and autocrats have befog-
ged the minds of the masses, who su-
perstitiously regarded, aye, even with
reverential devotion and spiritual joy
submitted to conditions Of abject men,
tai, industrial, economic and political
slavery.
When the struggle for freedom is
ended then the people will discard, as
obsolete. the old proverb: "Give to
the king the things that belong to
the king" When the principles of
rationalism are adopted and the scep-
ters and crowns have lost their charm
and are remodeled into useful ar
ticles, then the source of authority will
be vested in the collective will of the
people, expressed by majority vote,
which spells democracy with a CAPT.
tai (D).
The basis of democracy is co-opera-
ton in everything affecting the peo-
pie collectively.
When the conflict between absolut-
ism, by divine right, and democracy
the rule by and for the people, is ter
minated in favor of democracy, we
may pass, for a short period yet thru
the capitalistic system Of industry in
which the industries remain in the
possession of a few for their own
benefit, in the temporary stage Of in
dustrial evolution.
We will realize, however, that we
are bound to keep on evolving until
we reach the stage of collective own
ership Of industrial activities to be
enjoyed by all the people.
When genuine democracy is estab-
lished the kaiser's preachers who pray
for assistance for his ordained and
annointed and benevolent co ruler
king of Prussia and emperor of Ger
many, who would also like to be ruler
of the entire earth, will realize that
their prayers are valueless against
the American boys lover there"

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
(From National Equity News.)

\rTOM Ndt4OudA Equity NeWs.J r.
. There is no one at all informed but
will admit that our public schools
have been neglected, and I'll put it,
most woefully.. Our citizenship, . at
this time abundantly proves it..
And remember it is not the fault
of the system but the woeful neglect
on the part Of those having it's con-
duct in charge.
These men and women seem to have
lacked vision, put it comprehension
They>do not seem to comprehend the
scope of the question. If there is any
one thing more dominant than any
other in constituting the United States
melting pot for all nationalities il
is the public school. Every boy and
girl, matters not who, where from or
how old, should be compelled to take
the IL grades of the public school and
no other language but the English.
But after that, in colleges and uni
vesities, have all the languages
taught. This thing of barring German
now is hysteria. It, with all other
foreign languages should never have
been admitted to the grades. What
ooAAA0 nov OScA plcdSc1 " TERM the

have been brought into this country
by the thousands by corporation
agents and instead of allowing them
to become Americanized their pref
Cdices were appealed to, their for
elgn customs, habits and languages
were promulgated and fcstered by the
influence that brought hem here and
those who have had the conduct of
our public schools in charge have said
or done but little to ccunteract this
Influence and which is having such
an evil effect just now in the anti
American sentiment
The powerful and subtle agent Of
these trusts in carrying out this un-
American principle has been and is
the daily press. They together with
the politicians, both the agent of bis
biz are the most dangerous anti
American, pro-German influences in
this country today.
The best and only way to ever cure
such conditions is to have better
schools and compel every boy and
girl to complete the - grades in the
public school. And as the public
school is an American institution it is
anti-American and unpatriotic to OPP
pose or obstruct it in any way.
