There is more than one issue for

Editor of The Labor World:
Laborers! Where do you stand on
questions involving your future good |:
First, this country, this world is in
peril. A country, a group Of countries.
almost a world of continents not ex-
pecting. and unprepared for, war finds
it difficult to cope with another group
which has prepared on an immense
scale and with unprecedented thor
oughness to dominate and subjugate
all the rest. Can any one question or
hesitate as to the course we should
pursue? Every person must do his
utmost to help Uncle Sam win the war
against the Huns. Germany and her
allies must be thoroughly vanquished
and remain so. Our legislators and
their work must assure this as far as
possible.
loyal, as you should be, to our COM
mon cause. Do all in your power so
we will win the contest.
Second-Be loyal to yourselves, and
just to others. If it is fair to fight
for this country's good, and it is.
then it is also fair to live SO that you
can fight. Some sacrifice is necessary,
but no man has a right to be a
profiteer and thereby max, you suffer.
Big business and real estate specu-
lators want legislators who will be
safe for them. Labor wants legisla-
ton that will relieve it OF unfair bur-
dens, placing them where they belong

HAS HIS own IDEA
OF The Law
(From the Mesaba Ore.)

Patriot Burnquist, governor of the
great state of Minnesota, talks u great
deal of "freedam," liberty" "patriot-
ism,' loyalty" duty" and other
things of which he seems to know so
little, and seeks to establish the fact
(for political effect) that he is the
only person in the state with full and
complete understanding of these terms.
If you will take a look at the man.
ner in which he turns the machinery
OF state government against those who
stand in the way of the onward march
of his political ambition you will have
to admit that his understanding of
freedom" and liberty" and the other
things is greatly perverted. He seems
to regard his high Office as only a
means for the benefit of himself and
the select few that stand with him.
He talks glibly of the opposition
trying to destroy American freedom"
ton is only seeking the right that
every American is entitled to, and
which the governor and his plumber
bund is blocking at every turn.
Burnquist's idea of American free
uon IS bu1lded largely upon the be-
lief that there must be a privileged
class-a class that can make such laws
as they desire and which can readily
disregard all laws that stand in their
way. That is what Burnquist has been
teaching and practicing ever since he
became the accidental governor of
Minnesota
Governor Burnquist cannot get way
from the belief that the state of Min
nesota and all it contains belongs to
the select few. and that it is rank
treason for others to break in-the Sc
lect few supplies the governor with
the sinews OF war, and therefore are
entitled to all of the emoluments.

WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY
BISBEE AT THE BAR.

The New York World: Presum-
ably the FL inhabitants of Bisbee,
Ariz., indicted by the federal grand
fraud citizen of the United States
of his legal rights were the leaders
of the mob which last July forcibly
deported 1,1S6 striking miners and
others and left them without shelter
or supplies in the desert, to be rescued
at length by the army. Included
among the defendants are mine SUI
perintendents, deputy sheriffs, bank
ers and city marshals
To rid themselves Of men whom
they deemed undesirable, the business
interests of Bisbee organized as vigil
antes and proceeded by the methods
OF lynch law to pass judgmnt upon
innocent and guilty alike. The plea
made in their behalf that they faced
disorder of the gravest kind is not
borne out by the facts, for they made
no appeal to the state or the nation
Tor help, and there was no other at
tempt to invoke the law.
AS to all such shameful disturb
ances in the west, it may be said, with
out excuse for the men who lead the
l. w. w., that the industrial system
enforced in many mining and lumber
camps has been we'll devised to pro-
mote revolt. In too many of these
baronies the only law recognized has
been the will of the manager. The
corporation employing him owns all
the property, controls such stores,
schools and churches as may exist,
and has local officials on it's nav roll.

WORK OR FIGHT ORDER.

If anyone has had a doubt about
his place in the war activities, this
doubt will be removed on and after
July 1. He or she will be either
a fighter or a worker. 1dlers and
slackers are to be given short shift.
And this is as it should be.
President Wilson, through Provost
Marshal General Crowder, has issued
the most sweeping draft order yet
promulgated in this country. It came
in the way of an amendment to the
selective draft regulations terminal
ing immunity of all persons Of draft
age-21 to so. And it is intimated
the order may be extended to include
those who have reached the age of
6o-they must work or fight.
First to come under the ban are
habitual loafers, gamblers and sa-
loon men. Then unnecessary amuse-
ments, which may be interpreted to
take in professional baseball players.
Legitimate theaters are not to be
hindered, as they are considered ne
cessary to amuse and relax the peo-
pie from strain of war.
All of military age who are not
occupied at some useful labor are to
be placed in class IA of the selective
draft and sent to the front at once.
Those who have hitherto claimed ex-
emption from service on the plea of
having dependents must also show
they are engaged in useful occupa-
tons.
The move is step to mobilize the
entire American population into a
gigantic war machine and to elm
mate all forms of waste. All pa.
triotic Americans will readily CO.
operate in this new program.

TO CURB PROFITEER is FIRST
PROBLEM.

The war has taken such a strongly
and Enthusiastically democratic direc-
ton that no true lover of democracy
can refuse any sacrifice it may re-
1ujre of him. The betrayal of the
Russian republic by the kaiser has
placed half the old world at the I'M
mediate mercy of Prussian autocSacy
and militarism and made the over
throw of the present German govern
ment the immediate imperative duty
OF every nation and every man that
stands for a higher civilization.
Our first duty is to unite and
strengthen ourselves for the achieve
ment of this important task. What
ever helps most in doing this is OF
the most vital Importance now;
whatever obstructs most is the great
est present enemy of our country and
the democracy it is fighting for.
II one were to search through all
circumstances and conditions con-
neeted with our national life in it's
relation to the present war, he would
not find anything that compared in
its damaging effects on the patriot
ism, unity and we'll being of the ma
ton to the work OF the profiteers.
Thanks to our efficient secret serv-
ice system, We are overcoming the
pro-German menace in America, but
the profiteer, the man who insists on
taking fullest advantage of the pres
ent situation to enrich himself, Is
gaining in wealth and power in every
field of industry that the government
has not invaded. Government in
come tax returns show that in 1915
and 1917 the number of millionaires
increased from $500 to over 1900
and that most of these had made
their riches from profiteering in the
necessities of life.
Every European allied government
has found that in the end the only
way the profiteers have been success
fully curbed is by government con-
troll, ownership or operation.
The first problem in the war for
democracy is to curb the profiteers.

PEOPLE WINNING IN RAILROAD
FIGHT.

On May FL the government rail-
road administration removed all the
railroad presidents under it's juris-
diction in the United States. A little
later it re-employed most of them as
federal directors responsible directly
to the government, and forbade them
receiving any salaries other than
those paid by the government.
There is more in this change than
would at first appear on the surface.
BY this act, although the same men
are still managing the various lines,
the United States for the first time
has become the real master of the
railroad situation. The same indi-
vidual who is responsible to and
receives his pay from private board
of directors interested In discrediting
every movement toward public con-
troll, acts like an entirely different
person when these. sources of priv
ate income and responsibility are sew
cred and he is bound by the same
bonds to the public.
Under the system Of government
| management prevailing before this
change, much was being done to dis
credit government control of rail-
roads and kill the idea of govern
ment ownership In its infancy. Dur
ing the first quarter the government
railroad administration faced a de-
ficit of several hundred million dol
lars. 1t is foregone conclusion that
these various presidents, transformed
into federal agents, will serve the
public much more Loyalty from now
on. One way to abolish the profiteer
is to bind him to the people by new
bonds Of public interest.

ARE VEIN THE WAR:

What question! OF course we
are in the war. Wasn't war declared
over year ago? Haven't we got
men fighting in France and more go
ing over by every ship? Yes; all
this is true. But still the question
is repeated, are we in the war?
But some one says Hog island

and men is employed in the construc>
tion OF airplanes. Thirty-two can
tonments are training soldiers to be
shipped to France, and still the Dues
ton is asked, are we in the, war?
The question is TO be answered
by the state of mind of those OF US
who are not engaged in military oc-
equations and those of us who are
not engaged in war manufactures or
In the production of war supplies of
any kind. The answer is not wholly
ours, but we have as much to say as
anybody else and possibly a little
more.
The men at the front know we are
IN the war. They see the visible evil
dences of it, in the destructive power
OF explosive shells, in the devastated
districts, in the ruined lives, in the
fotting corpses in No-Man's-Land.
and in countless other ways.
Il But it is for us who sleep in our
1bwn soft beds at night to answer
whether we are in the war. n we
;tealize that the man in the trenches
>ds fighting our fight, risking his life
Tor our liberties as we'll as his own
and, realizing that, if we consider
that nothing that we can give, even
TO our last penny, begins to measure
with the sacrifice that he offers, and

LAND PROFITERRING.

The Springfield Laborer: Congress-

bill designating profteers as traitors

its-the very paeons Of the masses,
their children and children's children,
in the recognition of the fact that
land is not placed here for specula-
tive purposes, but for use and cult
walton.
The speculation-the gambling in
land values is one of the greatest
crimes affecting, in it's results, the
entire nation; especially now while
we are making war on autocracy in
which we are required to feed, clothe
and equip not only our own military
, forces battling to overthrow the Prus-
! sian landholding aristocracy, but in
addition our allies in the struggle.

timely admonition of today which is
