This analysis, popularized by the
powerful cartooning of ex-Congress-
man John M. Baer, has awakened
more minds to the menace of militar-
ism than any other one factor or ar
gument.
A JUDGE ON COURTS
Justice Van Siclen of the New York
supreme court has no doubt about the
duty of courts in America. In grant
ing an injunction against a labor un-
ion recently this judge used the fol-
lowing words:
1.-THE court must stand at all times
as the representative of capital and
of the captains of industry devoted to
the principle of individual initiative"
The phrase captains of industry"
indicates the kind of capital the court,
in his opinion, should represent. AS
between a farmers hogs, which are
capital, and Armour's capital stock,
the court stands with the latter. AS
between the dollar in the working
mans pocket and so cents worth of
goods which captain of industry
wishes to sell him for that dollar, the
court is with the latter.
How the press would ring with de-
nunciation if some radical had ex-
posed courts as much as does this
class-conscious Judge!
DAMAGES PAID TO LIBERATOR
Postmaster Hays has paid the Lib
orator, a radical monthly magazine in
New York, $1,000 as an offset to
damages sustained by the paper dur
ing the autocratic rule of Burleson.
The Liberator was denied second
class mailing privileges at times, and
occasionally was denied the mails al
together-all of which was decidedly
contrary to the first amendment to the
federal Constitution.
Two Socialist daily papers, the Mil
waukee Leader and the New York
Call, have been given the second class
mailing privileges again after more
than three years of exclusion.
A PARADE OF RAIL MANAGERS
Senator Cummins' report to the
president to the effect that cuts in rail
rates can not be made until operating
costs have become lower except at the
price Of return to government control,
10 remarkable admission.
It admits that government control
or ownership would be cheaper. II
admits that the country has been pay
ing out millions of dollars more than
necessary to avoid the alleged evil Of
socialistic methods. It admits thst
government operation would be more
efficient, as our war experience proved
beyond doubt to reasonable minds.
| Return to private operation had
two major motives: A gigantic stock
speculation opportunity for the finan.
ciers and quick backspring from the
socialism" found so effective during
the war before the people became
wise.
For more than two weeks the inves
tigating committee Of which Cummins
10 chairman has staged a parade Of
railroad executives before itself. Each
executive speaks about the same piece
and departs. Rates can't be lowered
Government ownership is terrible
thing. Wages must 60 away, way
down."
No other interests have been hears
% far and thus vast amount Of prop
uganda has gotten out before the 9th
err can state their viewpoints.
