The cowardly Criminals

One Algernon Lee, a New York So
cialist alderman. speaking before a
meeting of so-called Socialists, de-
scribed that hideous explosion in
Wall street as "a frame-up," and
went on to say that it was "a dia-
bolical and deliberate effort on the
part of the government and capitals
tic agencies to create the impression
that so-called radicals are seeking to
effect a revolution by means of ex-
plosives."
Now If Algernon really believed
that, he has maggots where his brains
ought to be, and II he knew better,
as every individual of COM sense
does know, he merits life imprison-
ment at hard labor and short rations.
1t is just such as he, just such loose
mouthed, irresponsible and idiotic
tongue Tapping, that turn the ad-
died wits of some listener into the
belief that putting bombs in crowd
ed streets. mangling the innocent
no others are injured-is war against
capital, injustice and all that sort Of
thing. The clear headed know that
every such horror restricts liberty
and weakens mans faith in mankind
For the sake of notoriety, for polit-
zeal recognition their worth could not
obtain for the qualification of their
love of excitement, men and women
in all stations of life, have INDUCED
in this devilish work of instilling
hate, cultivating distrust, denying the
truth, appealing to passion, with the
assurance that in due time in some
place an explosion will follow. If
they might be hoist by their own pc
tard it would be we'll, but that is not
the way it happens. They haven't
the courage nor the stamina to carry
their doctrines to logical conclusion;
they seek dupes for that part of it,
We would wish for them 4 realiza-
ton of what they are doing. such as
that of the poor bank clerk who wit
messed the horror in Wall street and
was so affected by it that later he
leaped ten stories to his death But
such wish would be, if not wicked
at least idle, for that type of mortal
when mentally affected would nat
| urally be subject to paresis and en-
| cumber the earth with drivel. We
would. however. that they might be
seen Of all men to be, that which they
are, criminals and towards.

Several Facts That Are Clear

There would seem to be nothing
further needed to demonstrate the
fact apparent to anyone giving the
matter consideration that the Wilson
league Covenant is impossible. From
the day Wilson decided to prevent
the acceptance of a League with
Senate reservations there has not
been a chance of changing the Sen
ate's attitude There did seem to be a
chance of making the League contro-
versy a campaign issue with which
to becloud other issues on which the
Democratic party was already as
good as defeated Wilson took that
chance. Such opportunities as the
people have had, in the Maine cleo
ton and in the previous primary
contests in New Hampshire and
Georgia., enabled them to show what
they thought of it.
That the Democratic leaders are
convinced of this is beyond doubt;
Coxs reply to Prof. Fisher: II shall
endeavor to meet all reasonable de-
sires for proper reservations which
are offered in sincerity" conclusively
admits the conviction. There will be

to cause the Senate to waver in it's

the Senates position, were it in need

the Senate's reservations he is al

Republican national platform or in

will preclude the acceptance in sub
stance if not in exact form, of the
work which has been done for a court
of international justice. While the
court and the work thereon done by
Mr.. Root were provided by the ma

ing in the Senate reservations to the
covenant which invalidates it, Not
only that but there is plenty Of evil
dence that the. present members of
the League would be quite willing to
