ment was finally gained. We may |
 be sure. therefore, that the |
 methods which were so success ful in Washington were resorted l to also for the manipulation of Legislatures at the various State capitals,
 What was it that the Anti Sa- loon League asked of men who wished to become representa- tives of the people? Nothing ex cept that they should promise privately in advance that they would not represent the people in many cases that they would betray the people. If this infa nous pledge were likely to prove em barrassing in any way to the intimidated or corrupted politi elan who made it in the hope of an election at the polls, it would be kept strictly confidential by the various reverend gentle. men who long ago found a bet ter livelihood in political intrigue than their empty churches af forded them.
 In the confidential relationship thus established between conf dential bosses and confidential aspirants for office we have startling reminder of evil days in the United States when by like measures of secrecy the Know-Nothing mania was prop agated. Prescription of Ameri cans for race and religion was thus decreed. In most instances candidates for office hoping for the favor of this element hid or denied the fact. They were bound by yelled agreements just as the servants of the Anti-Sa- loon League are today. Hardly | one of them ever had an honest political thought until, in the presence of an awakened popu lar rage, the vast majority of them confessed their error
 Congresses and Legislatures which have made haste to decree Prohibition have not been elected by the people on that Issue. They have been elected by the Anti Saloon League on an issue with held from the people and on which the people as whole have never been heard. They have tricked the people. They have entered upon the most sacred of public obligations fores worn. To make matters worse, they have become parties to deliberate conspiracy against popular rights
 New York Legislature is full of these creatures, many of whom, now that further pertidy is unnecessary. would like to re- main under cover along with their shameful promises. Per haps the zealots who have con tracts with them will forego full fillment. but for the purpose of record which will be useful later on, we hope that the Anti Saloon League will insist to the last letter upon everything that nominated in the bond.-New York World

WHOLESALE RAID
ON ANARCHISTS
several Hundred Arrested by De-
partment of Justice Agents
in Different Cities.
WATCHED FOR WEEKS
Huge Plot to Resist Government Is
Nipped-Russian Aliens and
l. w. w. Taken in Wide.
Spread Net.

New York, Nov. IA nationwide
raid on anarchists has begun.
Agents of the Department of JUS
tice, led by William ]. Flynn, arrest
ed more than 200 radicals in the head
quarters of the Russian Soviet Re-
public and after they had been taken
to headquarters of the Department Of
Justice and cross-examined, so were
held for deportation as undesirable
aliens.
Eight women were taken in the raid,
of whom two were held for deporta-
ton.
While the men were being examined
reports were received of other raids
which were made on radicals at Phila-
delphia, Detroit, Newark. Jackson,
Mich. Waterbury, Conn, st. Louis and
other cities.
1t was learned that Sc warrants had
been issued by Commissioner General
of immigration Caminetti for radicals
known to have been particularly &C
tive in the industrial unrest OF the
country. II vas reported that these
persons who were particularly sought.
have been caught.
The raids, taking place on the eve
of widely advertised celebrations of
the second anniversary of the estab-
lishment of the Soviet government in
Russia, were said to have nipped in
the bud a countrywide plot openly to
defy governmental authority.
This had been advocated. it was
said, for several weeks by combined
radical elements, the /. w. W., anar-
chists and Russian a%gitators. Pamph-
lets and other literature to this effect
are now in possession of the Depart
mem of Justice. it is said.
Watched for Weeks.
Washington, Nov S.-Plans for the
raids on headquarters of radical or
CARNATIONS throughout the country
with arrest Of the leaders have been
in process of formulation for several
weeks. it was understood here.
While officials of the Department of
Justice who could be reached refused
to discuss the raids, it was learned
that the radicals had been watched
closely for a number of weeks with a
view to throwing out the governments
dragnet al an opportune moment:
Not Linked With Strikes.
There was no attempt by officials to
connect the recent. radical activities
with the coal and steel strikes except
in-so-much as strikes are considered to
offer the radical leaders a fertile field
for agitation.
Attorney General Palmer has at nu.
merous times. and particularly in ties.
timony before congressional commit.
tees urged that his department be
given full power to deal with radical
movements, pointed to the danger Ger.
tain to result from activity by the
radicals. Numerous bills which would
deal drastically with followers ,ot

Obey Court Orders viii Bring

Washington, Nov. THAT the gov
eminent is preparing A more drastic
program against the strike inaugural
ed by the United Mine Workers of
America has become known.
In the face OF rumors of various
peace overtures, G. b. Ames, assist
ant attorney general. has left for In.
~dianapolis, carrying with him the text
Of the prayer" which the government
will present TO the court asking for an
injunction against the mine workers.
The government will ask that the in
junction be made mandatory and that
the strike leaders be ordered to issue
a withdrawal and cancellation of the
strike order.
IL had hitherto been understood
that the injunction, IL issued, would
merely restrain the mine workers
leaders from directing the strike, SIM
liar In character to the temporary re-
straining order issued by Judge An.
derson. The fact that a mandatory
injunction will be asked tor means the
government is prepared to go the en-
tire limit in meeting the situation and
that failure to obey the order will be
followed by prosecutions, with the
logical policy of the forced operation
of the mines by the government.
Recall Order to Be Asked
The government will ask for an in.
junction commanding the miners froT
continuing said strike to remain in
effect and commanding them to desist
from aiding said strike by permitting
said strike order to remain in effect
and commanding them % issue a with
drawal and cancellation of said strike
order"
There were various rumors afloat in
Washington that the American Fed
Grafton Of l. Dor would ask that the
application of the injunction be post
poned for a week in order I o enable
the strikers and operators to reach a
basis of settlement. In support of this
position the ranks of the warning
miners was strengthened in Washing,
ton by the arrival here of Frank
Hughes, an organizer Tor the miners,
and Paul Smith, who has been an or.
g~anizer for the American Federation
Of Labor, Edgar Wallace. legal and

Washington, Nov. 5.-Hope for
speedy action on the peace treaty
frightened up again when the senate
voted down one amendment, agreed
to dispose OF two more at once, and
renewed informal discussion of meth
DDS to hasten consideration of reser.
yations.
Some OF the more optimistic pre-
dicted a vote on ratification by the
end of the week, while the leaders of
both sides Thought it likely to come
within 10 days at the latest.
In the background OF all calcula-
tions, however, was the possibility of
an eleventh hour rally by the treaty's
irreconcilable enemies, who have init.
mated more than nce that they were
mindful of the opportunity which
might be presented to talk off a final
roll call until the session of congress
ends early in December.
Altogether. the situation still was a
doubtful one but Republican and
Democratic managers seemed conf
dent that it soon would clear. While
debate continued they held many con.
ferences and found agreement every.
where except among the irreconcili-
ables. it was said, to bring every pos
sible pressure TO bear for early action.
Democratic Leader Hitchcock ex.
poets to ask unanimous consent for a
sharp limitation of debate at once and
he believed it will be agreed to.
The amendment disposed of was
one by Republican Leader Lodge to
strike from the treaty entirely the
Shantung provision. The vote was Al
to 26. the proposal failing by the
votes of virtually the same senators
who several days ago defeated the
committee amendment OF that subject.
