In Ireland, the last place | expected

found an open devotion to it. The Irish
people are In many respects the most
conservative in the world. The only

= Political Action Called Failure.
! heard a speech in London that
deeply impressed me- 1t was applaud
ed by several thousand men and wom-
en-average good British working peo-
pie. Most of the men wore service
badges. The speaker, a clean young
Englishman Of about thirty-fye, said:
Political action is a failure, We
vote and we are betrayed. Political
parties are the agents of bands Of
capital. Their purpose is to keep the
workers apart, knowing that divided
we are powerless. The only time they
are willing we should unite is when
war calls for men. What did we win
had stake in the game, that the hand
we were playing was our own. Now
that 1t is over we have discovered that
we won nothing.
what did the working man ever
get by voting, except the worst of it?
+ The word vote comes from a Latin
word, meaning to wish Who ever got
anything by wishing?
"We are like the story in Bellamy'S
Looking Backward You remember
he spoke of a coach. On top of this
coach the capitalists sit in the sun
shine enjoying the ride. On the side
of the coach, hanging by their finger
nails and toenails are the hundreds of
thousands who make up the middle
class. Millions of men are pulling the
coach. They are sweating and trudg-
ing-they are the working men. Run
ming along the side of the coach are
millions more, fighting to get chance
to get hold Of the rope and pull the
coach. They are the idle. There is
only one thing to do. That is to stop
pulling the coach, let go of the rope.
Don't wish about It; do it. The fellows
on the top Of the coach don't do any
wlshing-they boss and drive"
The crowd cheered. There is some
truth in the speech. It is true that
the working man has not had a square
deal, but the fact that he has not had
fair treatment does not make the plan
of direct action sane, wise plan.
Revolution would only lead to blood
and disorder and leave the very men
who revOltedtin worse plight than
they are now. The millions who are
the majority have an infinitely better
weapon than force They have the
ballot. They are in the majority. Men
must think their way out of the will
derness. They cannot fight their way
out. When they try to. they go deeper
in.

We're straight out and out black and

Senator Moses's charge OF steam

General Wood, VINO late last n ght

toward the National Committee than

The New Hampshire Senator in this
connection might be said to represent
thoughts Of Frank H. Hitchcock rather
than General Wood. The point is that
the decisions on the contest have hurt
Hitchcock's prestige in the Southern
delegate field considerable more than
they have hure the Wood movement.
The Southern delegates were pay
ticularly the province Of Senator
Moses, as Southern Wood manager, and
Frank r. Hitchcock was supposed to
have lined them Up for Wood.
Wood Losses Not Serious
L has been demonstrated that the
Lowden people were more successful in

was Mr.. Hitchcock, and the committees

ESTIMAT TES FOR ALASKAN R. R.
 BE DISCUSSED
Eight Million Dollars Will Complete the Railroad from
 Seward to Nenana

WASHINGTON. March 8. - The subcommittee of the Committee on of the House which has charge of the estimates for the Alaskan railroad construction work for the fiscal year beginning July 1, this year, will begin hearings in executive session early this week.
 Col. Frederick Mears, in charge of Alaska railroad construction work. is in Washington in response to summons of the committee to explain the estimates.
 An appropriation of eight mil lion dollars is asked for this year. This sum, it is estimated, will com plete the road from Seward to Ne mana, and leaves only three millions of the fifty-two millions originally authorized by Congress for the Alas kan railroad construction work.
