Prussian Methods
Used at Galveston

Galveston, Texas, has just re-
ceived a lesson in militarism which
the people of that city are not likely
to soon forget.
A strike of coastwise longshore-
men caused a heavy freight conges-
ton on the Galveston docks. The
governor of Texas placed the city
under martial law on June Z, with
Brigadier General Wolters in COM
mand.
There had been no violence pre-
ceding the declaration of martial law,
and, if the newspaper reports may
be relied upon, there has been none
since.
On June II the city commissioners
of Galveston, by unanimous vote
adopted resolution protesting
against the "usurpation of civil auth
orty by the military" and called on
the citizens to assemble in mass
meeting to demand the withdrawal of
the troops.
General VOTERS, acting on the
most approved Prussian precedents,
declared mo such congregation" will
be permitted.
And no such congregation was per-
mitted. This occurred in the
United States of America in the
year 1920, in a time of profound
peace.

Rehabilitation
of Industrially
Disabled Free

No stipulation that persons must
be unable to pay for training. Rich
and poor alike receive benefits on
equal footing. State boards must
submit plans to Federal Board.
One of the finest things about the
recently enacted legislation for the
rehabilitation of persons disabled in
industry or otherwise is the fact that
the process of rehabilitation is re-
garded as a public obligation. The
training is to be free just as the pub
| lie schools are free. Rich and poor
alike may benefit. There is no
clause which says that the beneci-
ciary must give proof that he can
not afford to pay for the training.
Such a ruling would undoubtedly ex
clude some sensitive, self-respecting
people. Who likes to furnish proof
that he is a pauper?
Previous to the passage of the
Federal act, thirteen states had al
ready passed laws for the rehabilta-
ton of the civilian disabled. Only
one state law contains the stipula-
ton that the individual must be fl
nancially unable to pay for his train
ing.
1t is to be expected that vocational
education boards in states having re-
Mobilization laws will have a start in
presenting their plans for the APP
proval of the Federal Board for Vo-
cational Education at Washington.
State boards must annually sub
nit to the Federal Board for ap-
prevail, plans showing the kinds Of
vocational rehabilitation and schemes
of placement for which it is proposed
the appropriation shall be used;
courses of study; methods Of in
struction; qualifications of teachers,
supervisors, directors, and other
necessary administrative officers Or
employees, and plans for the train
ing of teachers, supervisors, and
directors.
Cost of Training Disabled Veterans
Two thousand dollars is the aver
age cost of retraining a disabled vet
eran, according to the Federal Board
for Vocational Education. The Geo
nomic value of a man restored "
productive efficiency exceeds this
many times over. So would the cost
of supporting a disabled man in de-
tendency exceed the cost of voca-
tional training many times over. AS
an investment and as a saving voca-
tional training is decidedly worth
while, but the real cosideration, af-
ter all, is that the man is restored.

ABALL0T WAR
To Defend Its Political As Well
AS Economic Rights.
(By Charles NJ. Kelley)

(By Charles M. Kelley)
An earnest of the determination
of the forces of labor to defend their
political as we'll as economic interests
is action taken by the executives OF
the sixteen recognized railroad broth
erhoods looking to the conduct of a
vigorous campaign throughout the
country during the present year
This committee is entrusted with the
political activities of these organiza-
tions, with memberships approx
mating 100000, and it will work in
close harmony with the political com
mittee of the American Federation
of Labor.
Pointing out the necessity for poll
teal action, the brotherhood chiefs
declare: eve are on the threshholC
of a momentous national campaign il
which questions of vital interest tc
the people-if, indeed, they do not
involve the very life of the republic
itself-will be decided. The campaign
is filled with splendid opportunities
for those of US who believe in gov
eminent of the people, for the PEG
people and by the people instead OF
government by the wealthy for the
few. 1t is filled with the gravest peri
for US and for our children if we fai
to give earnest thought to the issue;
and candidates involved"
The scope Of the Committees worl
will be non-partisan, and it will seel
an amalgamation of forces with the
various liberal and progressive ele
ments which are battering away a
the citadel of privilege. Every effort
will be put forth to stem the grow
ing tides of reaction that are rapidly
sweeping the nation from its moor
ings.
"At such a time as this no mar

Republic Is In Peril
An analysis Of legislation enacted

showing that in practically every in

taken it was at the behest of the
moneyed class. The rights of the
people were contemptuously disre
garded. The treatment of pressing
problems of reconstruction were
treated with cynicism that bode'

torate can be awakened to the rea
import of the situation and influ

HUGHES TALKS TO
BUDDING LAWYERS

Charles E. Hughes, speaking at
the centenary of Harvard law school
in Cambridge, Mass, on June 81,
declared that "in the art of govern
ing ourselves we not only fall short
of what we should expect in free
people of so great intelligence, but
we frequently present sorry spec
tacle." His subject was Some OBJ
servations on Legal Education and
Democratic Progress"
Mr.. Hughes said:
"A passion for legislation is not
a sign of democratic progress, and
in the mass Of measures introduced
in the legislatures of our free COM
monwealths there is too little evil
dence of perspective and an abund-
ance of elaborate and dreary fulfill
ties. Occasionally constructive
measure of great benefit is skilfully
planned, but we are constantly I'M
pressed with the lost motion and the
vast waste in the endeavor of democ-
racy to function wisely"
Our material progress seems to
have created complexities beyond our
political competency, and there has
methods of tyranny in order to meet
the problems of democracy,
eve went to war for liberty and
democracy, with the result that we
fed the autocratic appetite and we
have seen the war powers, which are
essential to the preservation of the
nation in time of war, exercised
broadly after the military eXigency
had passed and in conditions for
which they were never intended and
we may well wonder whether con-
stitutional government as hereto
fore maintained in this republic could
survive another great war, even vic
toriously waged.
Apart from these conditions, we
cannot afford to ignore the indica-
tons that the essentials of liberty
are being disregarded. Very recently
information has been laid by respon-
sible citizens at the bar of public
opinion of violations of personal
rights which SAVIOR of the worst prac-
tees of tyranny. And in the con-
duct OF trials before the courts we
find a growing tendency on the part
of prosecutors to resort to grossly
unfair practices"
