devices OF politics., thus keeping the
public at large ignorant of tactics
employed and results agreed upon in
hidden conferences of party bosses
and their money-making masters.
Public Is Buncoed.
Ever since the institution of gov
ernment that camouflaged system has
succeeded, with some intermittent
squalls of protest-not many. but
now and then a storm. Success has
been due to the fact that the public
has been wonderfully and cleverly
buncoed.
Only in a very recent period has
the glare of publicity been turned on
the intricacies which has seized the
bulk of the nations wealth through
its manipulation of government at
Ashe expense of the great producing
and contributing masses.
In the light of facts made known
the system has begun to crumble be-
fore the mobilizing forces of public
opinion demanding that all men be
treated on a basis Of freedom and
equality, that governments function
in the interests of justice and fair
lied that controlling elements will
not place any man or set of men in
a position to take an undue and un-
fair advantage of another man or
class.
1t Is Not UnAmerican.
There is nothing revolutionary,
= blood curdling, un-American or un-
businesslike in this new doctrine
though it is admittedly strange sound
ing and foreboding to self-lauded Sc
lect circles where privilege rules.
It is from these sources t: at all the
hue and clamor comes about bo1shev
ism, and undermining of treasured
traditions, the upsetting of estab
lished institutions and endargering Of
the life of the country. No wonder
they clamor, since with the advent
of the new order they know easy
money will be gone and the day will
be at hand for their compensation
according to the measure of their
v1ssHe to society and their contribu
ton to the general welfare.
The producers of the country are
learning what is going on and what
has been taking place behind the
scenes for which they have supplied
he Drawn and the sinews. They are
becoming familiar with the ramifica
ions of invisible government. They
ire a2preciating the fact that a
.:hange is imminent. They are being
moved as a unit by the spirit Of the
air deal, which says that to every
Individual shall be given a just sha :e
f the product of his toil-no more
nd no less.
Hope of Producers.
The manifestation of the new spirit
nd ideals is seen in the organization
'-~-f the producing class for political
urposes.
The workers of Minnesota, along
ith those of other states-Illinois,
'isconsin North Dakota, Washington
ready in line-have reached the
atus where they realize that vital
:onomic and Industrial reform is
,ssible only through political action
They further realize that only. pow
ful political action directed toward
e. establishment of justice will pre-
mt violence. In a word, the politi-
movement today among the labor
and producing masses has as its

An Open Secret.
It is an open secret here in WASH

at present an annual profit of

vanced rates or else by straight SUBJ

It is an open secret here in Wash

stocks, that moment the awful fear
of Socialism" will disappear, and the
Big Boys will be. ready to sell to

the subsidy business; we shall oppose

Its Supreme Merit.
Here we arrive at the supreme
merit of the Plumb plan. The man
agement is taken out of politics. On
the whole. it is the best plan yet pro-
duced. It is best calculated to suc-
ceed normal conditions. and under
present conditions, and is backed by
more power than any other plan pro-
posed in the~public interest.
One lie must be nailed here: the
Brotherhood officials did not threaten
congress with g. strike. The govern
'ment' was informed by che. Brother
hoods that, with the cost OF living
soaring into the skies. they would not
be able much longer to hold thei:
men, with the government doing
nothing; that il congress or the presi-
dent did not act. the men would; but
this had wholly to do with the wage
situation, and not with the Plumb:
plan. : .. -. .,..... ..s-:,i .'s
- Not For, Labor Alone.
It is untrue that the Plumb plan is
designed to benefit the railroad en-
ployees as against the. public. The
amazing thing is, that. though COM.
ing from the workers, this plan pro-
poses efficient service at the cheapest
possible rates. which will be auto
matically reduced: fair compensation
to the present owners. and Justice to
the workers. It does not propose to
go into the public treasury or burden
the taxpayer. =. When have. the rail-
roads owners considered the public

JAP OFFICIALS
LIKE SAVACES IN
sKOREAN REVOLT

PEKING.- Correspondence of AS
Thwing, oriental secretary of the In
ternational Reform bureau, who was
in Korea in March and personally wit
messed some of the disturbances re-
sulting from the Korean independence
movement, declares that the lower
Japanese officials and soldiers have
acted like lawless savages in dealing
with this peculiar situation" The
movement in Korea is described by the
Dew. Thwing, who formerly was an
American missionary as "a peaceful
resolt which should have been handled
with the greatest of tact"
In a remarkable manner" he said
to the Associated Press, the Korean
independence movement has. manifest
ed skill, courage, and organization
that has been great surprise to
many. 1t has shown more than ever
before how unreasonable without JUS

believe these things if l had not seen
them with my own eyes.
1.-THE police and soldiers have ar
rested old men and little children and
cruelty beat them. Little girls of only
ten years of age women and school
girls have been shamefully treated an
and subjected to physical punishment
and torture for no other crime than
shouting with peaceful enthusiasm for
Their own country and crying out for
the independence which Japan had
guaranteed by solemn treaties.
Jaaps Hiding Truth.
These things have been witnessed
not by one or two but by scores of
missionaries and others in many parts
of Korea during March. If the world
could only know these things they
would certainly heed this cry of dis
tress from an oppressed people. But
the Japanese are doing all they can
to keep the world from knowing the
truth A report has just come that in
one city, from which letters have been
sent, they are making it very hard
for the missionaries, even limiting at
deportation unless they stop telling

out the truth.
The following are some of the
things that / have actually seen with
my own eyes:
Small school boys knocked down
and cruelty beaten by Japanese sol
diers. This was not a question of ar
resting them, but savage unjustifiable
barbarism.
Soldiers stop and deliberately fire
into a crowd composed only of girls
and women who were simply shouting
'Mansei."
"a small boy of ten years shot thru
the back.
An unressting old man of IS years,
pounded kicked and beaten by sew
eral Japanese soldiers until he could
not walk.
"A crowd of about twenty school
girls who were quietly walking along
the public road, not even shouting,
chased by soldiers, beaten with guns,
knocked down and so shamefully trea-
ted that it made ones blood boil
Japanese firemen chasing boys and
girls with long iron hooks trying to
catch them with them.
"a Korean in hospital paralyized
with his head crushed in with one of
these hooks.
Revolving Scenes.
"a man dying shot through the back.
"One hundred men with torn and

bloody clothes, tied together with
ropes taken to Jail.
1.-TWO Koreans SO injured that they
could not walk tied down on spring
less cart and brought to jail.
Men standing by having no connec-
ton with the demonstration and yet
knocked about and attacked by SOL
diers who will attack anyone without
regard to what they are doing.
AN American missionary roughly
arrested while standing in his own
yard and looking on but doing moth
ing else.
women knocked down with guns
and kicked into the ditch.
These and many other things l
have seen with my own eyes. Other
foreigners have seen the same and
worse One can little imagine the reign
of terror in all parts of this land, at
the very time when the japanese peace
delegates are talking of humanity and
justice and equality of races They
don't know the meaning OF these
words And the punishments and tor
lures at the police stations and jails
make a still more awful story. l have
seen men who were beaten between
wooden crosses by the Japanese.
And why is all this cruel punish
ment given? Not for rioting, or for
resisting arrest: 1 have not seen one
case of this; not for carrying dan
gerous Weapons, they have none; but
just for shouting out the desire of
their hearts for the independence of
their country.
