ers that his interest is identical with
his colored brother, and from a point
Of open antagonism we brought them
to the point where both white and col
ored union men and women realize
that their hatred toward one another
was not because of color, but that the
difference in color was used as pre-
text by privileged interest through
their colored and white stool pidgeons

workers divided; but in spite of all
this sinister influence the unions are
growing stronger every day. In union
there is strength and protection and

WILSON AND PEACE.

Why have we the fiction of war this
Christmas when we have the reality
of peace? 1t is the fault of President
Wilson,. In his attitude as autocrat
of the United States he has made it
impossible thus far for the country
to declare that it's war with Germany
and Austria is over.
He tried to nullify the constitution
of the United States, to abrogate ar
ticles of it, to amend it by his dictum
and acts, and without the consent of
congress and the state legislatures.
He attempted to rewrite they organic
law of the United States and he was
stopped. Because he was. stopped the
country cannot rid itself of the fc-
ton that it is at war.
Mr.. Wilson's assertion of autocrat-
&c power was a rare episode in Amer
lean history. The United States has
the best system of government its
founders were able to devise. 1t is
executed by men elected by popular
suffrage and responsible to the vot-
ers. He sought to transfer the pow
er government to committees, to
international committees.
Without advice or counsel, in his
isolation of thought and action, he de-
cided to reconstruct the United States
government and transfer the capital
to Geneva. He sought to take from
congress the essential powers which
the constitution gives it and to give
these powers to an international
council.
So outrageous a proceeding was
stopped by the American senate.
Mr.. Wilson's illness does not dis
arm criticism. The sympathy Ameri-
cans have for president who must
spend his Christmas in bed must not
defect the operation of their intelli-
gence. We have, this Christmas day,
a thoroughly bad fiction of war, with
its various mischievous and damag-
ing consequences, because a president
of the United States tried to recon-
struct the government of the United
States.
He did not succeed. We hope he
never will succeed. Rather than have
him succeed we would take the legal
fiction of war, with all it's bad conse-
quences, UP to March 4, 1921, when
there will be a successor to Mr.. Will
son who, we hope and believe, will
not inherit his international ideas
This is our condition today and re-
sponsibility is plain We ought to
have peace and get down from our
stills. We ought to have had an end
long ago of these absurd war laws
but there's another year coming
Thanks to the senate, Uncle Sam still
has on his heel strap trousers. That s.
something. And so, good luck-Chi-
