think that Honest John Williams was
wild-eyed associate of Lenine and
Trotslky, who somehow profited by
slandering our pure American bankers
Now the Wall Street journal aa-
mits that our federal reserve system
is capable Of an expansion of $780,
100000 and thus shows that Williams
was entirely right and cautious in his
estimate. The Journal also admits
that the loans held by banks under
the reserve system have been decreased
from $42,ooo,ooo to $s7,o0o,ooo, a de-
crease of only $5,ooo,ooo.
Thus if we allow for what the
farmers have been Debated of and
business Independent of the big ring,
we can say that there has been no
effort to reduce the big sffrozen' loans
of the country. That is the loans
which spectators in stocks, steel, COZ
ton, coffee, oil and other basic COM
modities have. Only little business
and the farmers have been forced to
clean up.
This is why other commodities did
not come down in proportion to prices
paid the farmer for his produce. The
federal reserve system held the UNI
brella over all the big interests.
And we can see only one reason why
the financiers are now talking about
the expansion possibilities Of GU,
credit system. Business ought to be
picking up soon and the big fellows
need more credit to keep up and in
crease their speculations against the
public.

Editor The Labor World:
A few words with you If you don't
object. It is concerning the soldiers
bonus. And Mr.. Legionaire, a talk
with you. It is no use to find fault
with the barn when the horse is gone.
You will do it over again. The fact
is you are organized for sentiment
when you should have gone into pol
itics. That's all that counts and your
leaders were probably gathered into
the fold Of the bankers or foreign
controlled steel company.
You are young men and you can
work many years yet. See that your
top men are reliable and have others
ready, to slip in should they fail you.
Don't let the politicians use you as
a football like they did the G. A. r.,
for 60 many years. Act for. your
selves and you'll get Justice. You Cur

were laid before the people of this ma

to have daily papers in all sections of

MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE.

small scale model of a new gun
has been tested in New York which
IS so revolutionary in conception that
its possibilities as an instrument of
warfare stagger the imagination. Its
inventor claims for il that it will shoot
five-ton shell from 200 to 800 miles.
Its muzzle velocity is from one to five
miles a second. It is smokeless, prac-
tically noiseless and there is no recoil
from the discharge. Artillery experts
who witnessed the test and listened
to the inventor 8 explanation of the
principles involved were not only
amazed but convinced.
A German has invented helicopter
which, according to experts who have
studied it and watched it perform, will
revolutionize aviation. 1t develops a
speed of over 800 miles an hour, can
ascend and descend vertically, can re-
main stationary in the air and canno,
fall
The news which trickles through
from time to time about what the
chemistry experts are doing in the de-
velopment of lethal gases makes tho
flesh fairly creep.
If we give our imagination little
play and consider what the character
of the next war will be we will prob.
ably come to the conclusion that un.
less the world statesmen are plumb
crazy they will find way to make
another war impossible.

THE SHAME OF ILLINOIS

Inc ola saw Tells US that Wnen CnleVce
fall out honest men get their dues.
The machine politicians in Illinois
are quarreling, and the people who put
them in office are learning some in
teresting facts. The grand jury Of
Sangamon county-rendered famous
because Abraham Lincoln lived there
for many years-has indicted the gov
crnor and the lieutenant governor,
charging that the " have conspired with
others to defraud the state of $2,0OO,-
900, and that, in addition, the gov
ernor embezzled 100000, while the
lieutenant governor got away with
100000.
Both gentlemen. formerly occupied
the position Of state treasurer. The
law directs that state funds shall be
placed in responsible banks which will
agree to pay not less than per cent
per annum on deposits. Instead of
complying with the law, it is charged
the governor and lieutenant governor
had as much as $20,000,0O0 at one time
in privately owned institution viii h
specialized in loaning money to the
packing trust and similar business en-
terprises. It is said the bank received
| 8 per cent for the use of the mon.y
and that less than rs per cent of this
amount was turned into the state treas
ury, the remainder being divided be-
tween the bank and the indicted Of
ficials. If the charges are true the
accused officials probably cleaned up
at least half million dollars a year
! during the time they served as state
treasurer.
The transactions would probably
have been overlooked if the governor
had not vetoed certain appropriations
made by the state legislature for the
attorney generals office. The attor-
ney general and the governor belong
to the same political party, but head
| rival factions, and when the attorney
general found his office crippled he
proceeded to "get something's on the
governor.
The packing trust and the public
| utility interests have dominated the
politics Of Illinois for half century.
They have purchased legislators, con-
trolled governors and corrupted judges.
Because the state was normally Re.
publican they have given the bulk of
their favors to that party, but at the
same time they have not permitted the
Democratic party to slip from their
! grasp.
The big Chicago newspapers which
are now denouncing Governor Small,
and calling for his removal from Of
flee, were discreetly silent while the
politicians were delivering franchises
and other special privileges to big bust
! ness for a consideration. Now they
profess to be Mortified because the
crooks have broken into the state treas
ury.
The result is what might have been
expected, however. Whatever DISPOSE.
ton may be made Of the cases against
| the governor and the lieutenant gov
ernor, the shame of Illinois will con.
tlnue so long as the people Of that
state permit certain selfish private in
terests to run their government for
! them

Social reform is not to be secured by
noise and shouting, by complaints and
denunciations, by the formation of par
ties, or the making Of revolutions, but
by the awakening Of thought and the
progress Of ideas. Until there be cor
rect thought there cannot be right &C.
ton; and when there is correct thought,
right action will follow. Power is in
the hands of masses Of men. What op-
presses the masses is their ignorance,
their short.sighted selfishness.

Miss Emily p. Bissell as follows:
TO my mind the Christmas seal
campaign IS one OF the most worth
while campaigns conducted any
where for any purpose. The objects
TO be obtained are educational and
remedial. They are both good. The
one Is TO put before the public the
facts about tuberculosis, its dangers
from disability and death; the other
70 aid in the material campaign for
prevention and 20 furnish comfort
and care for those who have un-
fortunately become its victims.
The method OF raising the funds
necessary 10 carry out these objects
cannot be improved upon. II is a
method with which every one from
the richest 10 the poorest can help.
II an individual is so poor that he
can only spend one cent for one seal.
he can al least spend that one cent
with the knowledge that 20 that ex-
tent he has done his part to help
stamp out the great white plague.
He win have done his bit quite as
much as those others who can and

Of the boasts Of the organization is
the fact that 235 members Of the
