MIR. Glass in the Wrong Place

If the women of this country make no
protest against the appearance Of the
Secretary Of the Treasurys name on the
editorial page of the anti-suffrage paper
they must be very long suffering or else
the paper must'have an exceedingly small
circulation.
The steady object of this weekly
sheet seems to be to traduce wom
en- all over the world This is attempted
by three methods-first, by recounting
any incident discreditabe to any par
ticular woman; second, by trying to
identify all women with any specially
unpopular group Of radicals; third, by
detailing under the head of "where wom-
en- vote" the police records of Chicago or
San Francisco, without comparison with
similar records from Boston or Balti-
more, where women do not vote.
At this moment when women are being
asked, under the leadership of the Sec
retary of the Treasury, not only to pay
taxes and subscribe to the loans, but to
leave their homes and speak on public
platforms, they read week after week
Mr.. Glass's name at the head of this de-
pressing estimate Of women's mental
and moral powers. We believe in wom-
ems responding to every demand made
upon them by their country but we think
they should demand something in return
namely, that Mr.. Glass withdraw his
name from this compilation of insulting
nonsense

Spies on Hand

IS When the Workers, Soldiers and Sailors
Council was organized the Minute Men had
a man at the meeting who succeeded secret
y in reporting almost the entire speeches
of the l. W. W. and the extreme radicals
present. 1t was such report of speech
by Leon Green upon which the police acted
in ordering his arrest.
Obviously the Minute Men played pr-
mary part in the breaking of the general
strike Theirs is a power not to be denied.
1t is also . power to be very seriously
weighed, especially in times of peace. The
organization is marvellousy and dangerously
perfect 1t is built up on a principle of
secrecy that makes the heads omniscent
despots, welding an unheard-of power. The
heads pick subordinates who are unknown to
one another. These pick further subord
mates unknown to one another. The system
ramiies to the point where find thousands
Of members who know only single superior,
and obey blindly an order that comes to
them practically to mere number. Nat
uraly the responsible officers must guard
the organization jcalously against any
by sinister or anti-social self-seekng
forces.

The system is described by its chief as
modelled on the German domestic espionage
as pictured to him by immigrants. Its prin-
ciple is "to have somebody there ahead of
the suspected person" The ordinary de-

and must make new connections and enter
a circle whore he viii be conspicuous by his
very entrance, his strangeness This new
system provided host of voluntary detec-
tivcs all "planted" in every walk of life.
When case turned up all the heads of the
organization had to do was to ask for infor-
nation from the member in proximity TO the
case.
Thus there Minute Men who we're
already members of labor bodies and in
position to learn the inner purposes of men
behind the strike There were Minute Men
in every bank, who only had to be called on
to furnish information regarding every de-
post and every check of any patron. While
| sat in the Office of the organization photo
graphs were brought in of checks signed bv
the officers of the Soldiers and Sailors
Council.

Labor in Seattle feels this espionage very
keenly and talks bitterly of the provision in
the Minute Mems bylaws which reads:
"Members viii not permit themselves, in
any circumstance, to be used or exploited in
any manner to coerce labor or to become
involved in controversies of any character"
Labor claims that the Minute Men have
coerced labor and have become involved
in controversies between employer and en-
ploye The Minute Men claim that labor
leadership has been, in many cases, disloyal
even after the armstice-and that it has
been necessary to stop all of labor in order
to halt these leaders. Thus an official said:

tempting to prescribe in considerable

A Grapejuice Endorsement

Colonel Bryan, who has saluted him
SELF as chief seed carrier to the Dove of
Peace, has broken the unusual silence
which has recently enveloped him to give
highly qualified support to the covenant.
The amendments he suggests as neces-
: sary are so many and so destructive that
he may be regarded, as it were, as a
grapejuice upfolder Of the sacred instru-
, ment.
The Colonel is not satisfied with the
arrangement by which Great Britain
may have five votes in the supreme coun-
Gil while the United States is restricted
: to one, with perhaps Costa Rica or Hayti
: also having one. Nor does he like a two
thirds vote for the admission of new
! members Of the league He goes so far
as to say: The United States is not in
terested in league unless all nations are
IN It,. In other words, he wants Ger
many IN at once, with full rights He
does not like the failure definitely TO

sumption that our people, when the time
came to act, would nave as much sense

the right OF the nation to hunt or not
hunt when hulloo was proclaimed.
Finally, he wants no advance pledge to
join in an economic boycott.
What would be left Of the league IL
the excisons proposed by the Colonel
are made is undiscoverable by an un-
aided rye. The debris is not enough

New York's Anarchy Statute

The local Bolsheviki, whether of the
parlor, soapboX or backroom variety,
together with the |. W. W., revolution
arv radicals and other brands of anar-
chists. should lose no time in acquaint-
ing themselves with the contents of
Article Ia of New York's Penal Code,
which deals with criminal anarchy; and
then, if not altogether satisfied, turn to
Article 212, which deals with treason.
Article IA defines criminal anarchy as
consisting of advocating, advising and
teaching the duty, necessity or proprlety
of "overthrowing or overturning the
organized government by force or vio-
lence or by any unlawful
means;" or of organizing or joining
group formed to teach or to advocate
such doctrine. The offence is felony
punishable by imprisonment for not less
than ten years. Any owner or agent
who permits his premises to be used for
an assembly place for criminal an
archists is guilty of a misdemeanor, pun
ishable by Imprisonment for not more
than two years
Under Article 212 treason, for which
the punishment is death, is defined,
among other things, as "a combination
of two or more persons by force to usurp
the government Of the state or to over
turn the same" AS to when resistance
to a statute is treason, it is said:
"Where persons rise in insurrection with
intent to prevent in general by force
and intimidation the execution of a stat
ute of This state, or to force it's repeal,
they are guilty of levying war"
All and several who may have in mind
any attempt to create new order by
/. force and intimidation should be care
full how they blow down the muzzle of
this statute. 1t may prove to be loaded.
. But one way exists to change a statute
in democratic state, and that is by
an orderly ascertainment of the will of
the majority and It's expression through
freely chosen representatives. The right
! of revolution went when popular rule
, was established. Democracies deny the
: right Of minorities to coerce them, and
if particular idea is favored by ma
jority, this majority can easily and le-
gally have its way.
Some states are lacking in statutes to
: deal with preachers of violence, for it
has been assumed that no group would
ever dare to challenge the right Of the
majority to rule. But New York hap
pens to be equipped to meet foes de-
!. veloping within with the same weapons
: it has for foes coming from without.
