goodness and our neighbors' cleverness
It il rather too bad, though for the
worlds sake that America could not have
been clever as well as good. Then our
own financial burden would now be less
and our allies shoulders and hearts would
be stouter and the reputation of some OF
them sweeter.
Had America been as clever as she was
chivalrous, and had the President needed
tho counsel of close friends that allied
promises and pledges should be reduced
to writing and their keeping eaforced, the
world would not now be under the storm
filled cloud of an ominous order which
has nullified our noble war aims, flouted
our fine professions of the service of hu-
manity and substituted bitterness and
Bolshevism in the minds of the ancient
weak peoples for the high hopes enkindled

For the Doctors to Decide.

At the North Atlantic Regional Con
ference of the Woman's Christian TEN
perance Union in this city resolution
was adopted condemning the use oi
whiskey in the treatment of influenza Ii
was introduced by Mrs. Martha NJ. Allen
of the Department of Medical Temper
ance and Drug Addiction Prevention, an
it was made plain incidentally that it was
directed at DR.. Royal S. Copeland, who !:
responsible for handling the present seri
Gus situation in New York.
At the very time that this remonstrancs
was being framed the Health Commits
sioner was thanking Bird s. Coler, Com
missioner Of Charities, for his co-opera
tion, as a result of which it had been DOS
sible TO obtain six hundred gallons o.
alcohol at reasonable price for use il

Furthermore, within the last week dealer,
had been warned as to what would b,
likely to happen to them in the case o
profiteering when the liquor was neede,
for medical purposes.
Nothing could be more injudicious thar
for lay prohibitionists OF the more en-
thusiastic sort TO take such an attitud
at the present time. Nobody denies tina

that is not what the medical man. who il

would be as absurd to limit his resource
as it would be for n legislature TO Ia,

patient under any circumstance. No
even an international medical confcrcnc
The New York herald., 1920-01-30

would venture to come to conclusion CT
such a subject.
Total abstainers who were in the
trenches in winter admitted freely that
the use of spirits had been necessary and
that a failure in the supply would have
been a calamity. This is a strictly par
allel case. Many drugs of the habit
forming" sort have been and are of in
calculable service in saving life and miti-
eating human suffering, and to refuse to
order them on principle would be to fly
in the face of Providence.
Looking at the question entirely from
the point of view of those who are op-
posed to the "liquor traffic" as an evil, II
must be admitted that this move OF the
w. 9. II. u. seems injudicious and likely
to cause widespread impatience in the
public and those charged with its physical
safety, especially at this time.

American Labor and BoishevIsm.


The current issue of the American
Federalist, the official organ OF the
American Federation of Labor, contains
a striking editorial by Mr.. Samuel Com
pers in which that labor leader bitterly
condemns Bolshevism, rejects the 'hed
doctrine completely and assails so-called
liberal" publications, naming three IN
particular, published in this city. In his
condemnation of Russian Bolshevism MIR.
Gompers says I'VE know the piteous
story of cruelty and intolerance, and we
know the autocratic concept that under
lies the minority dictatorship which is
hailed to the world by its dupes and ad-
vocates as the most perfect state of society
ever devised. We kDow about it and we
condemn it completely, finally and for all
time"
Mr.. Gompers calls attention to the arsu-
ment of those who would wait and do
nothing about Bolshevism because we
know nothing about Russia" and because
Eve do not know what is going on in
Russia" That plea he holds to be based
on a false assumption. 1t is, he says, a
last desperate attempt to win favor from
the American people for a system of gov
ernment which by the confession OF its
own advocates and defenders is foreign to
every concept Of the American Republic" F"
These are strong and courageous words.
They are timely, for Russian Bolshevism
has hoped to obtain recruits from organ
lied labor. Already the poison has en-
tered the ranks of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor to some extent and threatens
the official life Of Mr.. Gompers. The
words Of condemnation from the pen of
the veteran labor leader will serve notice
on the enemies of the American Republic
within the ranks of the American Fedora
ton of labor that their destructive and
un,American doctrine which indorses the
very thing organized labor has been fight
ing - involuntary servitude-will be bit
terly and Cncompromisingly opposed by
Mr.. Gompers and his followers.
The organization Of which Mr.. Gompers
is the head is power in national affairs.
1t should be power for sane progress and
national safety. 1t has a place-an i'm
portant place-in American affairs. Mr..
Gompers has raised the flag of American
ism over the greatest labor organization in
the land. He has inscribed thereon the
words, I'VE are unalterably opposed to
Russian Bolshevism." Let him add one
other inscription I'VE are in favor of
pure Americanism, obedience to the law
and the constitution. and nationalism
above the rules, regulations, oaths or be-
liefs OF any other organizatio on earth,

Automatic and Inescapable.

From Sydney, New South Wales, comes
the information that the Employers Fed
Grafton has issued report in which it
states that during the last six years the
losses in wages due to strikes in that
country amounted to $25,OOO,0O0, and
losses in production amounted to $50 O,OOO,-
600. President W. Brooke, Of that organ
ization, enumerates fifteen points Of So
cial economy which he considers axio-
matte and inescapable. Among them are
the following Under any economic or in
dustrial system men and women must con-
tinue to work for wages; some workers
must be paid more than others owing to
superior ability or class of work per
formed; no worker can be paid wages he
does not earn nation must depend upon
its intellectual citizens; the community or
nation which develops most brain power
and inventive genius will be the most pros
porous, and brain power must inevitably
command more reward than manual labor {;
the cost Of living is governed by the cost OF
production shorter hours must increase
the cost of all articles; capitalism Cor ac-
cumrlated wealth. can never be abolished.
for some men will always earn and save
more money than other men; private en-
terprise involves not only control but risk
and personal effort in promotion and dis
play of skill; the only possible way for the
workers to secure a substantial increase
in wages without a corresponding increase
in cost of living is BY increasing output !;
men and women in free country cannot
be prevented from saving money and ac-
quiring property; without hope OF profit
there would be less industrial development,
less employment, lower wages and higher
cost of living.
That is sound economic doctrine. Every
workman, every member of labor organ
ization, every Socialist, every Communist,
every Bolshevist should paste these axioms
in his hat and read and study them daily.

Shepherds as Sheep.

Office boys and assistant secretaries OF
United States Senators find their desks
Uttered these days with kilograms and
letters from religious associations and
meetings of various sorts demanding that
the United States Senate straightway
ratify the peace treaty and adopt the
League of Nations covenant. What these
Senatorial assistants, beyond whom the
bulk of such inspired messages seldom

religious activity was never learned In
Sunday school.
A few religious bodies conceive It to be
their mission to instruct the government.
Lacking both sense of humor and
sense of responsibility, so that they never
see themselves as absurd and fatuous,
they do not hesitate to use the resources
at their command to lead or drive the
shepherds of the churches in most sheep
like fashion.

A little matter of sending out letters to q
