find the hive with inside fixtures such

I withdraw my former offer; but as

BUT IT'S INEVITABLE.

Mr.. Gompers is probably right In his
assertion that men con not be made to
work by governmental order. At least
this Is true under peace conditions and
civil government. But when Mr..
Gompers asserts this as a sufficient
reason for eliminating the anti-strike
provision in the railroad bill he Is
very far from truth. If men can not
Justly be forced to work then it fol-
lows Justly also that men who desire
to work shall not be prevented from
doing SO. 1t also follows that any
organization which can by a small AMI
unreasonable minority vote calamity

Of its leaders and officers cause I'M
speakable suffering and immense loss
to the vast majirity should be re-
sponsible to the majority 1t seeks t.

to the public. Ownership really con-
sists Of q franchise to operate them a:
a reasonable return for operation.
Such owners are subject to regulation
by the government Their operating
officials are subject to serious penalties
for violation Of regulations. There ID
no just reason to be advanced why the
leaders and operating officials OF
organizations which are employed in
managing and operating labor organl-
cations should not be subject to re-
gulatlons calculated to prevent them
from using disaster and calamity and
suffering as clubs to force compliance
with their Wishes desires and the
satisfaction Of greed. The public
should and sooner or later will protect
itself as best it may by legislation and
regulation against arbitrary methods
of labor as it has attempted to do
against the theory that private owner

utilities shall charge all the traffic will

Rising Lard Values Not Wealth.

Is tor the use OF tne man VINO pest
Uses 1t. Ihe law OF ADVERSE possess
SION that gives man sucn lano as
ne has mad uEdlsputed possession oil
tor u certain term Oh years, rests uiu-
lnately on this idea, So does the law
oi eminent domain that lakes private
property for the larger puolic GOOD.
Tne private ownership OF land, more
than that of most other property Is
restricted by the public's interest IN II.
The land was here wnen the owner
Was born, it VIII be here when he mas
passed away, and it should Oe left IN
tact by his for those who follow. Inc
misuse OF land, therefore, is III esseace
illegal.
However, experience has shown that
private ownership of land Is conduc-
tive to good government and GOOD CIT
izenshiy; that 1t steadles man anu
gives him greater satisfaction IN NIe'
by making possible a definite long
term program. But this private o"-
nership has proved good only where
the owner improves the land, not
where he simply takes booty from II.
Beneath the present swift rise IN
land values, due in part to the inna-
ton of credits and to speculation,
there seems to be q rising level of per-
mauent land values; for the war has
revealed to the world as never before
mans ultimate dependence on the soil
for his daily bread. Nor will these
rising values be much affected oy the
existence close at hand OF much cheap,
undoveloped and potentially fertile
land: for the subduing OF this land
will add to IL cost that will bring
it ND to the general price level.
The history of American farming
shows that, as land values rise, the
rate of tenancy rises. Many owners re-
tire rich in land values, leaving actual
farming operation to tenants. The
farm Is then called upon to pay divi-
dends to two families instead OF one,
and this it may do at its increased
power to earn. But the history OF
American farming also shows that this
tenancy, on the whole, takes booty
from the land: that 1t leaves the land
less able to produce food than when
in the hands of the man who owns 1t.
The rise In land values. therefore, In
the proportion that It fosters tenancy,
Is no guarantee of Increased wealth.
Wealth consists in the abundance OF
goods produced without corresponding
" impairing the working capital. The
farming which can double q crop
without decreasing the power of the
soil to produce, will make nation
actually rich.-Mlnneapo Journal.

With many OF the Views expressed
by Matthew Vol, vice president OF thu
American Federation of Labor, In his
long letter to the chairman of the re-
publican national committee, there will
DC geenral and hearty agreement. From
many there will be widespread and
earnest dissent. As whole they VIII
be reg arded with interest, and with
gratitude, MS one Of the most complete,
detailed and authoritative statements
OF the opinions and principles OF thu
fedC ration that have ever been made.
There Will also be a lively sense of
gratitude to Mr. Hays for that public
service which he has rendered In
elicitng such a pronouncement.
one OF the first and chief exceptions
which will be taken to Mr.. Wolls state
ment Is to the repeated intimation and
even direct charge that capitalists have
been invested with powers and advan-
tages which are denied to workinsmen
The state and nation, he says. have
undertaken TO place arbitrary cor
porate powers and advantages in the
hnds Of a few and at the same time
to destroy or render ineffective
the hope and aspiration Of the great
mass of our people to protect them
selves against the exercise OF these
great corporate powers to dominate the
lives and destiny of the many without
restraint or Imitation" Now We feel
sure that on more mature considera-
ton Mr.. VOL will see that that 10 an
exaggeration. The sole ground for 1t
at which he 80 much hints Is that the
l,n. 10
ton of granting charters to corpora
tons that they shall not object to their
employees forming and Joining labor
unions. But how often do corpora
lions make that obtectionr Not near
~ so often, we think. as labor unlonists
object to corporations giving employ
ment to nom union men. In the old.
old controversy between closed shop
and open shop, the latter. which en-
ployers generally favor. means shop
In which all men may work on equal
terms, whether they belong TO union
or not, while the former. which 6 most
frequently demanded by labor unions.
generally means shop in which none
but union members will be employed.
Mr. Vol appears to forget, too, the
actual and very important d!scrimina-
ton that has been made by national
statute law in favor Of labor organiza-
tons, 6 against corportions or other
organizations of capital. Years ago
law was enacted expressly exemptins
labor organizations from prosecution
under a statute to which all other cor
porations and individuals were subject.
We must greatly doubt his ability to
cite a comparable example OF legisla-
ton discriminating in favor OF capital
against labor.
In his vigorous. not to say violent.
condemnation of any anti-strike or
compulsory arbitration laws. Mr.. VOL
sententiously declares that the right
to quit work after all other methods OF
adjustment have been exhausted Is the
concrete expression of individual lib
erty." We may grant the right OF the

SoMEI Nlau Will HAPPEN s0nS.

mdre Lands, speaking OF the re-
,uest OF an American Legion post at
Detroit which asked the judge TO p''-
h.bi, Big Bm Haywood from speaking
here next Saturday regretted that lie
could 40 nothing. The Judge. however
expressed his opinion charaetensuca'-
IN when he said that 1t is an outrage
chat such convicted draft obstructers
and soldier bushwhackers Should oe
allowed TO run around the country
fIinging their insults In the face Oh
the brave men who fought Tor the'F
country. The district courts, he eS-
planned had let them out on bail anu
he could do nothing. 1t Is evident tha'
Judge Lands would do something OIL
ricially II he could. But those enemies
of their own country were permitted
to give bail pledged only from repeat
ing the crimes fol- which they were
convicted.
We should have laws which may be
invoked to prevent such as Haywood
and others Of similar lack of charac-
ter and of patriotic decency from
Haunting themselves and their per-
nicious doctrines in the faces or pa
triotlc people. Otherwise we shall seS
laws broken by the men who should
uphold them. II is not in human ma
ture and especially human nature with
fighting soldier trimmings to bear
eternally with the Haywoods. With
the government and industry and or
ganized labor oil agreed with common
citizenship that the /. w. w. ana us
IIaywoods are dangerously subversive
of Ancricanism and the American Le-
gion out with q declaration of war
against |. W. VS., draft obstructers,
and franc tireurs the very helplessness
expressed by Judge Lands as he has
expressed it, Is likely to brin8 about
from the standpoint Of strict law and
order. Very often the theory Of free
speech fails under conditions that
make such speech insulting to patri-
otto men who hold fresh and living
memories Of danger and hardship en-
dured and of wounds suffered.
The mayor of Detroit should deny
Haywood public place to speak In that
city II merely as a police precaution
against unfortunate ending to his har-
rangue. So should other mayors in
other cities. Haywood Is like q match
in q powder mill. He is a needless In
centive to riot. He, like certain others
of lesser notoriety, depends upon the
principle of free speech to practice IL
cense. That a man with such q rec
ord should be at large Is a burning
criticism upon q democracy and free
people.
AS something happened to Ole 30
something Is pretty certain to happen
to haywood. 1t will be regrettable, of
course. when II takes place. but 1t will
be what Haywood ard the unwisdom
that sets him free to snap his dirty
fingers n tho face OF the American
! Legion and patriotic people generally
seems to be bidding for.
