There is no room for argument here.
1t is entirely aside from all considera
ton Of the merits of collective bar
gaining or the merits of any particu
lar industrial controversy. 1t is en-,
tirely aside from wages and condi-
tons of work. 1t is a political ques-
ton, a question of whether the gov
eminent founded by our forefathers
exists today in the substance or in the
shadow. The Pioneer Press hopes for
a peaceful settlement of difficulties
and the satisfaction of the grievances
of working men where such grievances
exist. 1t hopes for a perfection of gov,
ernmental machinery that will settle
all labor disputes in fairness. 1t is
not in favor of the abdication of the
United States government. Let every
citizen get the distinction and choose
where he will stand, whether with Jul
legal government or with an attempted
usurper.

WHO IS THE GOVERNMENT?

ST. Paul Pioneer Press-There is
nothing for the government of a ma
tion-if it is a government-to DO
when a group of it's W citizens un
dertake to cut off the ~sustenance OF
its people to enforce demands which
they refuse to arbitrate but to take
measures to protect all of the people
as against the few and to assert its
authority. There is nothing for IL
to do when given notice by any or
ganization of what it may or may not
write in it's statutes but to go serenely
forward. as it would have gone with
out such notice, and take due meas
ures as the occasion arises to estab
lish whether or. not 1t is in fact a
government, or whether it is but the
servile instrument of a select group.
If the United States government should
take over the mines for the purpose
of meeting the demands of the 500, 900
bituminous coal miners, now under or
1c"s of their organization to quit work
next :, turday, it would become a gov
crnr,ant only in form. The United
Mine Workers of America would be
the government. II the congress
should permit the threat Of a general
strike Of organized labor to alter its
purpose in the passage of legislation,
then 1t would be- a congress only in
form. The American Federation Of
Labor would be the real congress.

course, as their grand headquarters.
1t is said that the entire fanny will 20
to Holland to live. Holland is scarcely
to be congratulated on such a royal
settlement, and the reigning house ol
Holland least of all. In her marriage
to Prince Henry of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, Queen Wilhelmina was per-
sonally annexed to the German dynas-
tic interest, and her court was quite
strongly on the German side in the
war. There is no male member IF
her house, the heir to the throne be.
ing a girl now ten years old. The royal
House of Orange is indeed quite thor
oughly Teutonized, and the little heir
ess to the throne, supposing her to
have inherited the sturdy Dutch prin.
ciples of her mothers family, would
find herself a lamb in a cage of lions.
Her marriage to a Hohenzollern prince,
which may be regarded as a strons
probability, would have the effect to
set up a new Prussia, or at least a
new B~randenburg, in the Netherlands.
Queerly enough, the mass of the
population in Holland does not seem
to be very much excited about the in
1ux of these undesirable H~ohenzollern
immigrants. The attitude of the gov
eminent toward the ex-Kaiser and his
egregious heir has been complaisant.
The pro-German party appears to be
all-powerful. Perhaps there are many
of the Dutch people who think that
their country, whose relative conse-
quence in Europe has been rapidly
dwindling, would gain in power and
privilege if the Hohenzollerns sue
ceeded to the n of the great stadt-
holder. But the more f~ar-seeins
burghers must see that the promotion
of the Hohenzollerns influence in their
country would have disastrous results
for Netherlands independence. In that
case, Holland would become a lever
to pry the republicans out of Germany.
And when it vas all over, Holland, like
the smiling lady who rode on the back
of the tiger, would return from the ad-
venture inside the beast OF prey
with 1.-THE smile on the face of the
tiger"

Don't bother to follow the advice to
