Radical Outbreaks
Are Losing Ground

LONDON, July 31.--Radical fana
ticism. OF what is better known as Boil
lshevism, Is quieting down in Britain.
Here and there outbursts continue but
they are only spasmodic, and the gen.
leral opinion is that any danger of an
overthrow of the government except
/ by constitutional means is unlikely
| Britain's success in combating the
radicals, is credited here to the mod
crate manner with which the radicals
were dealt with. Only once or twice
was 1t necessary to threaten armed
force and this threat did not MATER
falize.
give them plenty of rope and they
will hang themselves" was the atti-
tude taken towards the extremists,
with the result that the plain citizen
of Britain today exhibits little sym.
pathy with radica1ism.
Though meetings were held at which
extremists of the most radical type
made fervent speeches to huge audi
ences, they failed to spur the liberal
to violence. eThey did help
to speed labor to an awakening of its I
power with the result that all over the |
United Kingdom men and women to-
day are earning higher wages and !
working shorter hours.
Though radiealism, as represented \
n an effort to foster a revolution. has
1uieted. the government still has TO
ieai with the worker. His vast pow
r was shown to him when the gov
rnment practically surrendered to the
british miners in face OF a strike of
he miners, railwaymen and transport
7orkers.

so evidence that the issue meant
more to him than to any other per-
son in the court room.
Mr.. Sturgis spoke for an hour with
great earnestness. He denounced
bitterly the defendant as liar, a
murderer and a lover of women other
than his wife and asserted that Hall
had made his wife's life a continual
torture mentally and physically by
his acts. Link by link he pointed
out to the jury the chain Of circum-

How History Repeats.

Il -OWell OuIISl y lNl|Slil
In 1881, Robert G. Winthrop,
speaking at a celebration of the cen~
tenarv Of the surrender of Corn wallis
at Yorkt own. Va, and paying trl-
butte for the generous aid which
France had accorded MS in the Amer
lean revolution, used as Applying to
France some words Of the Latin his
torian Lvy. Attention may once
again be directed TO the curious APP
plica bility of this famous passage to
our own day-it being atem emit
which. when once made, seems likely
to have repeated instances of fitness.
Iivy was speaking Of the service
that had been rendered by Rome in
overcoming Philip Of Mac@don and
giving freedom to the Greeks, and he
said:
"rhere is nation in the world
which, at its own expense. with It's
own labor and at its own risk, Wa2ed
war for the liberty Of others; and this
not merely for contiguous states. or
for near neighbOrS or FOR countries
that made part Of the sam continent,
but that they eVcn crossed the seas
for the purpose, SO that no unlawful
power should subsist on the face or
the whole earth. but that justice,
right and Law should everywhere have
sovereign sway
What Livy said Of Rome, and what
Winthrop repeated in LivN'S own
phrases as applying to France in the
dav Of our own trouble. may now ne
said once again. without necessarily
CHANGING a syllable, with reference to
the United Statcs-"A nation which,
al its own expense, with its own labor,
and at it's own risk, Waged war for the
liberty Of others: and this not merely
for contiguous states, or near neigh
bors or for countries in the same con-
tincnt-but across the seas SO that no
unlawful power should suhsist, but
thai everywhere there should be a
reign Of law and of justice.'

LET PERSHING COME HOME.

In connection with a proposed Con-
gresesi onal investig atiOn Of charges
that Regular Army officers discrim-
mated a ga inst National Guard officers
during the war, a cablegram has been
sent to General John J. PershinR ask
ing him if he wishes to testify, It is
probable that General Pershing will
find it impossible to lay aside his re-
sponsibilities in Europe to cross the
Atlantic and defend himself at the
hearing but if any means can be
found to bring this about he should
be afforded every facility.
Under the stress of a military cam
paign orders are given and changes
in command are made that strike the
man outside the army Is unnecessa1 ~
and sometimes as unjust. If this were
the basis of the accusations against
General Pershing and the staff we
could easily dispose of them. It is not
with such situation that the investi-
gators will deal. More serious charges
have been brought against the leader
of the American army and it's high
representatives in Washington and
for the sake Of our armH's good char
acter they should be cleared up, let
the chips fall where they may.
New England Congressm have
assumed the initiative in preferring
the charges, building their case on
the removal or demOtiOn OF a num-
Der of officers in the old National
Guard. AS they happen to be mem

sations have any foundation in fact.

Search and Seizure

Dieter in Providence JournaID
TO the Editor OF the Journal:
The opponents of prohibition are
attempting 10 create an impression
that certa ia unreasonable and fanati-
cal methods Will be used in the en-
forrement Of the prohibition Jaw. 1t
is said that a search and seizure
clause will he incorporated into the
federal law, which will allow federal
officers to search private homes, look
into bureau dra Wers and the most
secret places Of n private residence.
There is absolutely nothing to this
claim. The prohibition forces have
ia cod this situation concerning search
and seizure in more than 30 dry
states The ordinary provision Of the
law eXempts II bona fde private resi-
dence unless such private resi-
dencedence becomes a place Of public
resort for drinking or for the VlU!a-
ton OF the law prohibiting tho sale
OF liquor. No bora fidC bone Will I've
moleSted. If the sO-cailed priVat" resi-
denco becomes a speak-easN or
bInd-tigor, it forfeits its right as a
homo and should be subject 10 the
provisions Of the prohibition law.
The home is the castle Of the indi-
vidual who lives in it. II Will not ne
int"rfered with except as he may
convert that home into a blind tiger
or place where liquor is sold or
furnished in violation Of the law.

1Fhst IS q platitude which admits of
no debate. They are detrimental.
But the high tariff which Senator
Weeks and his colleagues would i'm
pose on goods brought into this coun-
try is detrimental to foreign manu-
moral and legal right to establish
any tariff we may desire.
1t is claimed by Senator Weeks
that the embargoes are in violation
fourteen points:
The removal, so far as posi-
BILE, of all economic barriers and
the esta blishment of an equality
of trade conditions among all ma
tons conserving to the peace and
AS ociating themselves for its
maintenance.
For the purpose Of removing doubt
on this point. President Wilson ex-
planned that it did not have for its
object the eradication Of all trade re-
strictions, such as tariffs, but that no
faVoritism was to be shown and that
rational ports were to be open to all
counties under the same conditions.
Senator Weeks represents a wealthy
| manufacturing region in Massachu-
| setts. Fngland's action hits this dis
| trict However, it should be Of bene-
| fit to consumers in America because
| if the manufacturers are unable to
send their goods abroad they must
sell them al home and as the supply
OF finished products on hand will be
be reduced.
