Boishevism Lynched
tFrom the New York Trlbune,)

drift away from the Socialist parties
as the result Of this fighting at Berlin
and Spartaclde outbreaks elsewhere; anC
doubt is already expressed whether the
Socialists will secure majority In the
National Assembly to be elected on sun
day. Elections already held in Baden
Bavaria and elsewhere for state consti-
tutionaI conventions resulted in VIC
tories for the non-socfalist parties.
Those parties are evidently bestirrine
themselves and are carrying on vigor-
Gus campaign. II is to be expected that
they will win back very many voters
who in the years Immediately pFeced-
ing the war had been voting the Social
isl ticket as the strongest way to regis
ter their protest against the evils ere
ated or tolerated by the former gov
ernment.
1t is, therefore, well within the pos
sibilities that the Socialists will lose
control of the National Assembly and
will have to surrender the government
to a combination of non-Socialist par
ties,- as has just occurred in Baden. Or
the Socialists might succeed in making
an alliance with the new German Demo-
cratic party. which is an amalgsmstion
OF the former Progressive and National
Liberals. That would mean a govern
ment Of advanced liberalism for Ger
many. Il would not be a Socialist gov
ernment, yet one that would adopt
many Socialstic measures. II would
nrohahlv nafionaIize -coal and notash
mines and it would favor big combna-
tions. of manufacturers under strict gov
ernment control.

Class Government
lFrom the Wall street Journal.

A reader in Ohio, apparently indus
trially employed but In a position to
have his name and address printed
on his note paper, is the author of the
following definitions Of the relations
between capital and labor. They are
interesting because a wave Of this sort
OF loose thinking Is passing over the
country, and the doctrine OF govern
ment by the most ignorant for the
most Ignorant finds many subscribers !:
.The object Of government own
ership. as generally understood or
instituted, is to exploit the working
class for the benefit Of the public
The object OF private ownership Is
to exploit labor for the beneflt Of
the private owners. In other words.
labor is bought in the cheapest
market, while the products Of labor
are sold in the dearest market. We
can see. therefore, where labor
comes In.
"The lsborer, consequently, wants
neither private ownership nor gov
ernment ownership that exploits
him. but he wants collective own
ership and operation for the benefit
Of the working class"
Why does the propagandist OF this
type always speak OF the "exploita-
tlon" OF labor and always use the word
labor" itself as II it were synonymous
with work? An impartial observer. be-

Il is probable that with the violent
end Of DR.. Karl Liebknecht and Rosa
Luxemburg the danger Of Bolshevism
in Germany has definitely passed away
1t had no natural life there. The tardy
nrmness Of the Ebert-Scheidemann
government in suppressing the Sparta
eide insurrectlon had already gone far
toward crushing 10. And what it began
a mob of enraged citizens has sud-
denly and horribly finished. The act
has disclosed significant state of
mind. Order will not appear at once.
There will very likely be some cleo
tlon riots on Sunday, but anything like
an organized Spartacide attempt to
overthrow the government IS hardly to
be expected again.
This case OF lynch law on the streets
Of Berlin certainly bears striking wit
ness to the intense horror which the
Spartacans have evoked against them
selves. German editors have long been
in the habit Of discussing lynch law In
America as conclusive evidence that
our civilization Is on a lower plane than
theirs; yet now we have Germans in
one OF the weather and more cultiva-
ted sections OF Berlin turning out 10
lynch a woman.
Rosa Luxemburg and Liebknecht
were the driving forces behind the
Spartacide rebellion at Berlin; and they
have fallen victimes to that lawless
force TO which they had themselves ap-
pealed.
The uncomfortable wrath Of those
respectable citizens Of Berlin W.
which means both the western sec
tion OF the city and also that OF wealth
and aristooratic pretension--is a new
phenomenon IN the Garman revolu-
ton. The people who killed Rosa Lux
emburg were mostly not Socialists, and
that is the signilcent thing. The So
called "buergerliche," or non-Sooialist
elements Of the population, have evil
IDENTIFY had their flll Of weak govern
ment tempered with organized violence, I,
and in the interests Of law and order
they are willing on their part to break
some law and create some disorder.
Thus, this bloody ending to Berlin's
bloody week is OF high political impor-
tance. 10 is In line with other news
cabled from Berlin within the last few

moment and pay lis respects to the shrewdness OF the
japanese traders, aided by the Administration with re-

Due to the restrictions Of the Food Administration and
the refusal OF the Shipping to permit tonnage TO be

scarcity has resulted in this country creating situation

let the slick Jap put one over on us.

POTASH IN GREAT PLENTY

Potash has at last been discovered
in America-One, perhaps two, noun
tains of rock assayipg nearly 40 per
cent. Of the invaluable material.
These are situated in Pennsylvania.
The long hoped for discovery was
made by the state geologist of Penn
sylvania and the discovery is an
nounced by one Of the leading Phila-
delphia dailies with much detail. The
high standing Of the state official and
that of the newspaper is a guarantee
that IL is a genuine find.
When Colonel Demming, the geolo-
gist, was asked by reporter whether
the mineral had been found in COM
mercial quantities, ne replied: NO,
not in commercial quantities, but in
colossal quantities. He calculates
that in the one monntain, the only
one examined, there are at least 12,-
100000 tons of potash. 1t is believed
that there is enough potash in the
two Mountains to supply the entire
world for several generations. Pot
ash is now worth $500 ton, and it is
believed that it can be extracted from
these rocks at a cost of less than $40
a ton, judging from experiments in a

THE WONDERFUL GROWTH or

A late number Of the Columbus Ey-
ening Dispatch has an interesting
article oD early Methodism from
which we condense the following:
The term, Methodist" was first ap-
piled to Charles Wesley and not to
John Wesley, the real founded OF
Methodism As first applied it was a
term Of ridicule. Charles Wesley was
student at Oxford College where he
says he began to observe the method
OF study prescribed by the university.
His constant use OF the word meth
cd" for which he seems TO have been
a stickleT, gained for him the name
Of methodist" which has become
known around the world as the name
OF the great religious denomination.
When John Wesley joined his
brother Charles at Oxford he found
him at the head Of q group OF students
banded together for the study Of re-
ligious questions and known to the
irreverent ones Of the college as the
Holy Club MOTHS Sacramento
rians" and "Methodists." The latter
name stuck and became the nonored
name Of one OF the greatest religious
denominations the world has ever
known. The elder Of the three broth
ers Wesley, Samuel, took no stock in
the religious enthusiasm Of his broth
er, Charles, nor in the church found
ed by John Wesley. Instead ne com
batted it, and spoke Of it as spread
ing delusion" II was certainly emit
tied to be called spreading" for it
