influential papers plunge into every
controversy that arises. No doubt
somebody in every community would
like to have the newspapers inject
themselves into every dispute. But
a newspaper can no more afford to dc
that than single individual can. 1t
would become to be regarded as a
busybody, and by those whom it
might from time to time oppose, as
3 common scold In the multiplicity
# disputes that would arise in the
curse of few years, the newspaper
YOU'D have been aligned some time
with everybody in the community
ard at other times against everybody
IN the community Antagonism has
longer memory and is more deep
seated than friendliness. The news
paper pursuing such a course would
have frittered away Of it's influnece
never to regain it..
The newspaper should carefully
husband it's influence to be used and
Used hard for the right in all essen
tial disputes. 1t should never be
thrown aimlessly against stone
wall even when the stone wall may
be wrong.
Sometimes the majority in a com
munity may be wrong but it is
never wrong very long. 1t cannot
be driven; it can not be made right
by scolding and violent attack The
newspaper cannot afford to make an
attack at such time any more than
a military leader can afford to deli
yer frontal attack upon a greatly
overwhelming force. A newspaper
should not tilt at windmflls.
However, cowardliness should ne
yer be part of newspaper, but
discretion should always be, and
discretion, more than often not
prescribes silence.
1t frequently happens, though
that a question arises in which a
newspaper should not only take a
side, but should assume the leader
hip when defeat is imminent if not
iuite certain. There is such a con-
dict between right and wrong that
he duty of standing for the right
cannot be evaded. Then the paper
n the face of certain defeat must
AXE stand, for it must know that
he defeat will not be final; that
tight must prevail in the end.
But newspaper cannot afford to
waste itself on little, unimportant
controversies even though it may
iasily take the winning side. II
must exercise the same good sense
that the average citizen would use in
such circumstances
Courage, discretion and good sense
ire mighty essential for a newspaper
hat expects to live and grow.-Ari-

From Ambush.

The dastardly crime in Centralia
Armistice Day, was carried out in
rue I. w. w. style-from ambush
The organized labor movement OF
the country, and especially of the
Northwest, will now be flooded with
sppeals for aid to get the fellow
workers" out of Jail, and we will
hear the usual amount of bunk about
class consciousness" ETC., etc.
The 1. w. w. is a rebellious, riotous
organization, it's impelling forces
being love of strife and greed for
money
The wording of the literature
which is sent out from their head
quarters is of course changed from
time to time to fit the particular case
in hand, but there is always one
phase that stands out in bold type
SEND ALL CONTRIBUTORS TO w.
D. HAYWOOD. They know that the
only way they can keep the coin COM
ing in is to keep in trouble, and as
soon as they get in trouble they come
0 the organized labor movement for
help.
The I. W. WIS that work under
over in the trades union movement
york just as they did in the Centra-
ia outrage. You will find them
spreading their filthy poison among
the workers, using their membership
n the A. F. of L. organization as a
cloak of respectability Usually
hey commence operations by Great
ng distrust of officers of the unions
3r central bodies, demanding detail
reports of financial transactions
and otherwise intimating that the
funds are being misused. Accusing
officers of being in league with en-
CloyerS against the workers is an
other one of their favorite sports
Anythfng and everything to raise
aell.' Cowards, all of them, they fight
gangs and attempt to put over
heir propaganda only when they are
reasonably sure they have the advan-
tage.
1t is high time that the true trade
unionists, those who have the inter
ests of the working masses at heart,
rise up and "clean house." Any
man or woman who holds a member
ship card in an A. F. of l.. organiza-
ticn and is at the same time a mem
Der of the l. w. w. is a traitor and
SPY and should be treated as such.
Let us hope that the Centralia out
rage will have SOLDERING effect upon
the element of labor that is still in
doubt as to the real aims and pur-
poses of these birds of evil omen
that spread their darkening pinions
over every spot in the industrial
field that offers an opportunity for

exploitation of the unfortunate work

exploitation of the unfortunate work
ers.
There is another lesson to be drawn
from the tragedy-one that should be
considered by employers. Just so
long as employers continue their un-
justifiable opposition to the organic
ed labor movement the advocates of
violence will find many discouraged
workers who are willing to listen to
his plan to bring relief by force
Not all of those who have become
ide ntified with the advocates of direct
action are bad men. Sometimes it
is a father of underfed children who
in desperation, grabs at the relief
promised by those who seek to gain
their ends swiftly.
When conditions which breed !. w.
VS. are removed, that organization
will fast disappear Cooperation by
employing interests with the regular
trade union movement is the one re-
medy for allaying the unrest pre-
yalent within the ranks of labor
both organized and unorganized.-

tonight and will not end until tomorrow It has been tentatively decided that the session shall begin April 24 and end September '. consisting of 140 games.
 MT Martins statement follows:
 The schedule committee of the Southern league Is building the 1919 schedule from April 24. as opening date, with September as the closing date. The committee, under my advice, is proceeding upon the assumption that Sunday baseball is legal and will be played in Tennessee.
 The supreme court of Tennessee held in a case that arose at Nashville sev- eral years ago in favor of Sunday base ball. With due difference, I think the court of appeals of Tennessee is entire ly in error in holding Sunday base- ball illegal In this state. In behalf of the Southern league l will appear in the supreme court at an early date and contend for reversal of the decision of the court of civil appeals against Sun day baseball. I hope for a favorable decision from the supreme court be- fore the league directors meet at New Orleans on March 24.
 MT. Cherry, attorney for the Nash vile club, holds the same views that l do and will appeal the Nashville case. We will cooperate in the supreme court"

Denikine Minister Gives Out Inter- view in Paris Relative to His Gov

Paris, March 3.-"Forty million Rus sians in organized governments are now cooperating in movement for q re- united Russia. These Russians are work
 ng and fighting. dying by hundreds anl even by thousands daily in an effort to save Russia from complete destruction and all this is being done without. a tt ought of political ambition said Ser. Sius Sazonoff. minister of foreign affairs in the Denikine government, who also
 is the representative in Paris for the Omsk government, in all interview to- day Continuing, he said:
 Tn addition to the Russians fighting bolshevism through and outside the gov ernments there are also hundreds of thousands of Russians within the bol- sheviki battling daily against the efforts to defeat a reunited Russia.
 'Socialistic and other liberal elements are taking very prominent part in the movement for a reunited Russia, es. pecially in the south. In the Crimea and in the Don and Kuban governments the progressive men of all parties have joined hands. There is not the slightest chance that autocracy will ever retu-i in Russia. Nobody. so far as I know, wantts it and it would be folly to sug- gest such reaction

One of the Alleged Discharge Grafters
 Suicides in Detroit
Six More Men Under Arrest-C0m- marder Roberts Issues Statement Regarding Investigations
By Associated Press


 Chicago, March 3.-SiX sailors of the Great Lakes naval training station are in custody and the body of another-a suicide-is in morgue, as result of alleged grating in connection with the discharging of men from the station. it was learned tonight.
 Lieuteant Commander c. S. Roberts, executive officer at the station, said no evidence had been found to support a charge that discharges actually had been sold, but that a number of enlisted men and a few petty officers had apparently practiced fraud on some of their mates by protesting to have influence in ob taining releases.
 The existence of the investigation be- came known today following the suicide yesterday of Samuel Moscowitz of De- troit a second-class seaman. who plunged from an eighth-story window of local naval intelligence office after mak- ing a confession, according to Lieut.. Ed win l.. Reed chief of the office.
 T am not inclined to believe this mat ter was anything more serious than a fraud practiced by Moscowitz and pos sibly others, for no officers have vet been involved" said Lieutenant Com mander Roberts.
 I've have six men in custody in con- nection with the investigation. none of eheIii Has iidue any duHilSSioHS. 90 lar as l have learned, the highest amount obtained by Moscowtz was $50 We have learned of four young men. mere boys he was involved. Early in December we learned of four young men, were boys, who had swindled four others, obtain ing an average of about $l0 eachs Be- cause of their youth they were merely given undesirable discharges. In the present case the report of the naval n- telligence office is yet to be received by the commandant, who, if it is regarded as sufficiently serious, may order a board of investigation to consider it with probable courtmartial of the individuals to follow"
