POLITICAL COWARDICE

Political towards will eventually
come to realize that the turning back
of such a danger disguised as reform,
at Townleyism is, is not an every day
affair. To render enough assistance in
task of that kind to be given credit
for it, requires foresight, courage,
balance and willingness to work for
the public good even when it requires
sacrifice Of some kind. These are
true American qualities of manhood
the kind that it takes not only to make
business, but to keep it.
In every community there are men
and women who are looked upon and
accepted as leaders Of public affairs
because of their initiative and their
display of these qualities. An ack-
nowledgement of leadership in public
affairs carries with it an acknowledge
ment of leadership in private affairs.
The leaders who because Of political
cowardice, fail to display these
American qualities of manhood
when they are most needed, will sooner
or later discover that they are not do
ing as we'll in their private affairs as
they used to do. This will not be be-
cause they are boycotted by neighbors,
but because of the fact that when
acknowledged leaders fail to live up
to their reputation for leadership, the
public concludes that they have
ceased to be as keen and alert, as
bravely honest and courageous in all
things as they used to be. If a bust
ness man is political coward now
and then and wonders after a while
why he is not doing as we'll as he
used to, it will be because he fell out
of step in the forward procession of
his community just when his COM
munity was more interested in public
affairs than in a development of bust
ness.
In the United States business and
professional life, whether it is bank
ing, merchandising, farming or any
other profession, is so entwined with
individual manhood and the average
American so reveres manly manhood,
that whenever the individual fails to /.
live up to the standard expected of
him in that respect, the public loses !
interest in him. |
1t seems to pay for the moment, at
times, to be political coward. There
are, however, a few who do not real !:
lie that it never pays in the end. A
Chicago paper recently said that of
all towards, the political coward is the
greatest. 1t is said that he will run
up an alley when he sees his own
shadow. AS rule he makes state
ments to affect voters that he cannot
substantiate, and he is all the ime
afreal of being found out !
A fat-footed and open stand must
be taken by every citizen who loves
American institutions and ideals. The !
men who are responsible for political
lethargy in their respective precincts
this year, when so much is at stake, /,
will have a lot to answer for.-Inde-
pendent.

MR.. HAYWoOD's RED ARMY

"Men have rights in Russia; they
have none in this country" William D.
Haywood told the l. w. W. conven-
ton at New Rockford.
Paying Mr.. Haywood the compli-
ment of taking his talk seriously, and
answering it, one feels inclined to
ask him just what rights men have
in Russia, unless they are funeral
rites. 81 4 .G
Under the soviet regime workmen
in Russia are not permitted even to
quit their jobs. They are told where
they must work; what their hours will
be; and what wages they will draw.
If they don't like their jobs, and de-,
eide to quit, they are classed as "ene-
mics of the revolution" and lose their
cards as the minimum punishment. If
they should organize strike, they
would face a firing squad. If they
continue to work they starve anyway,
but the process is gradual.
Even Mr.. Haywood probably would
not deny that men are permitted to
quit their jobs in this country and to
organize strikes. They are at liberty
to seek other employment at any time,
and no man or no government can
compelt hem to work.
"Give me $4,000 active +. w. w. and
a million more to back them up, and
we'll seize the industries whether the
capitalists like it or not" he con-
tinued.
Well just who are the "capitalists"
whose property will be seized? The
Pennsylvania railroad is owned by
$4,000 shareholders. Probably $780,
900 men, women and children are
benefited by the dividends from this
one railroad. Some of the women
and children are wholly dependent on
these earnings. The number Of share
holders in the United States Steel cor
poration probably is greater. 1t just
these two industries were "seized" on
the Haywood plan, at least 100000
Americans who have worked and saw
ed and invested their savings in the
stock Of these corporations would lose
their savings to a gang of brigands
who haven't the industry, the thrift,
or the moral stamina to accumulate
anything.
If just one industry in America
were "seized" on the Haywood plan ii
would destroy the value of all private
property in America, or at least knock
the bottom out of values over night.
If the right Of private ownership of a
share of United States Steel corpora
ton stock is not preserved, what about
the right Of the workingman to own
his own modest home? When Mr..
Haywood talks about collecting a red
army Of $4,000 men to seize factories,
he is threatening the property of ev-
cry man who has saved anything be-
yond the clothes on his back.
Incidentally, if Mr.. Haywood finds
his $4,000 men to undertake such a
revolution, the American republic
will find 5O,OO1 hangmen's nooses to
take care Of them and him.-Fargc

CANADIAN NORTHWEST SELL
ING WHEAT ..u

Wheat inspections at Winnipeg en-

million bushels per day and are great
err than at Minneapolis and Duluth
combined.
A strike of the Lake Carriers
Seamen's Union is holding up ship
ments at Port Arthur and Fort Will
liam; but as soon as this is settled
and the flood of Canadian wheat
reaches the seaboard, the weekly ex-
ports from North America will amount
to record breaking figures. We cannot
expect Europe to bid up for wheat so
long as the Canadians will sell at
present prices. ~
