. IS THERE 4 GOD? !. .
BY REV. CHARLES NELSON
PACE

Often have I thought it odd
That men ask, Ills there God ?"
Have they never breathed a. prayer
And rejoiced to feel Him there?
Have they questioned what man
knows
How to shape a full-blown rose ?
Have they ne'er heard the refrain
OF robin in the rain?
How each morning all anew
He bejewels' earth with dew!
How he paints the sun at rest
On the canvas of the West!
Who has taught the tender art
OF a mothers loving heart?
Who but God could fashion guile
Like q tiny baby's smile?
Is there not God to send
The warm hand-clasp OF friend {?
sceptics ply their questions rife:
There remains tho fact Of life. :
Not alone In temples grand
May we feel His loving hand;
Not alone at time Of prayer
God il present everywhere.
To the open SOUL each place
Holds some glimpses OF His face.
Listening, Devotion hears
+ The sweet music Of the spheres.
Mysteries Of mind and heart
Show divine creative art.
The need Of man is eyes to see
The presence Of Divinity.

"There is no provision for the use
of force to carry out any Of the terms
Of tho agreement and: no military
or naval sanction turks anywhere in
the background or under cover Of
these plain and direct causes"
The plain implication Of Mr.. Lodge
is that under Article 10 Of tho cove
nant of the League Of Nations the
United States was bound by explicit
terms to lend it's force to the SET
Element Of disputes arising under the
disputed and misrepresented provi-
sions Of said article. That is merely
an echo Of tho last political cam
paign.
Article 10 of the covenant never
did obligate the United States to send
our boys across the seas to preserve
the territorial integrity Of those ma
tions that were to be associated with
us in the League Of Nations. The
present chief justice Of the supreme
court of the United States, Mr.. Taft,
and the present secretary Of com
merce, Mr.. Hoover, both held to that
view.
However, we are to have *<baby
league' even if we are not to be a
member Of the big league, which
seems to be functioning very we'll in
spite Of its handicap without us. The
Harding administration has started
something it win have to finish. If
a covenant between four sea powers
is good enough to regulate naval ar
mament, an understanding. among all
the nations should be good enough to
regulate the size Of both armies and
navies, and to do some other things
for the welfare Of the world, such
as to guard its peace and promote its
happiness and prosperity.
President Wilson had the vision,
but she was a dreamer" Senator
Lodge is "practical," but isn't it
queer how he and his colleagues arc
coming around to the Wilson way4 His
ideas are being redeemed, slowly it il
true, but here and there we catch
glimpses Of them, small as yet, diff
ferently unparalleled, differently mum
bered, but in their substance they are
the same. Time is really the great
vindicator.

more or less in all big strikes where
the use Of private detective agencies
was resorted to.
This is the first time we know Of
where the plot was nipped in the bud,
and it could not have been nipped
without the aid and assistance Of q
friendly chief Of police and an honest
county attorney. This exposure gives
an additional reason why the work
ers should see to it that he right
kind Of men are elected and appointed
to public offices having to do with
law enforcement. Under the old re-
gime in st. Paul the private detec-

INDICATING WILSON.

There is but one way to clinch

77dication Of disputes between nations,
but whatever it is to be it must be

include all nations, not merely four.

Of the nations it was attacked AZ 2

land, France and the United States
were the nations involved Senator
Lodge and his American colleagues

THE UNEMPLOYMENT BALL.

The five lodges of railroad broth
erhoods will give a grand ball at the
Arnlory next Friday evening for the
benefit of the unemployed in Duluth.
Nearly everything has been donated,
including the hall and the music.
Every dollar taken in at the door
will be turned over to Mayor Snively
who will use the money to give work
on the boulevard extension to needy
persons.
The mayor has a number Of men
employed clearing right-of-way, and
the timber that is being removed is
cut into cordWood and sold to the
people at cost. It is unique to raise
money by private subscription to
build driveway in Duluth, and it
is refreshing to know that union Ia
Dor stands behind the mayor to man
in his laudable effort to meet the
unemployment question in such a prac-
tical manner. It is not almsgiving,
but true charity, Of the kind Christ
e1emplified while on earth, the car
dinal attribute Of man at his best,
the greatest Of that trinity Of require
ments for nobility Of character,
"FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY -
so aptly expressed by Paul the Apostle
in his first epistle to the Corinthians.
Giving alone is not charity. "And
though I give all my goods to feed
the poor y and have not charity
it profiteth me nothing" said the
Apostle. He also declared that with
out charity he was nothing. The
charity of the heart is the acid test
of real manhood.
Idle workers do not seek aims OF
gifts. Such but tend to humiliate
They destroy independence Of spirit
They injure pride, rob the recipient
Of his self-respect and put Gallon!
On gratitude.
Idle workers want work, honest
work, that's all. They want an op
portunity to work out their own sal
walton by getting their bread from
the "sweat Of their brow.' Mayor
Snively understands the meaning O,
true charity. The railroad brother
hoods have learned it from experience
They are Of the workers and know
their attitude toward almsgiving.
So the big ball to be given by tn,
railroad men is one to furnish EN-
ployment to idle workers, to the un
skilled who are suffering most frot
present conditions. The Federated
Trades Assembly has endorsed the &C
t1on Of the brotherhoods and it ha
issued an appeal to every union ma,
IN the city to buy ticket and at
tend the ball. Men who can afforl
it should purchase more than on
ticket. We have seldom made an ap
peal to our readers for the suppor
OF more worthy cause. Lets al
meet at the Unemployment ball a
the Armory next Friday.

A PLOT EXPOSED.

Down in st. Paul they have a labor
chief of police, and evidently county
attorney who has some old-fashioned
notions about the law and justice.
These two men exposed plot, said
to have been engineered by represen-
tatives Of the Armour Packing COM
pany and the Pinkerton Detective
agency, by which the power plant Of
the Armour company at South st.
Paul was to have been blown up and
the blame for it fastened upon the
leaders Of the union.
This is the story as given out by
the St. Paul chief Of police and the
county attorney: J. P. Mccoy, sec-
retary of the union Of packing house
employees on strike at South st. Paul,
was advised by fellow union man
named Carpenter that he had received
a mysterious telephone call from St.
Paul asking him to have Mccoy call
at 1902 Ramsey street, St. Paul, and
ask for o. F. Du Vail, who, the in
formant said, was an ex-convict, who
had something Of Importance to COM
municate.
Mccoy and Carpenter discussed the
proposition, which limited at violence,
and at first decided to ignore it. Sew
eral days later another telephone call
was received and the man at the other
end of the line SAID Du Vail must be
seen. Accompanied by other union
officials Mccoy called on the man at
the address given.
While Mccoy and Du Vail were
conversing, G. M. Reed Of the Pinker.
ton National Detective agency; Al.
bert Renard, employed by Armour &
Co., and a man named Rice, Of the
South ST. Paul police force, were in
the room above listening to the con
versation. Du Vail is said to have
told the unionists he wanted $55 te
blow up the Armour boiler plant. HI
demanded $40 in advance to buy nitro
glycerine, gun cotton and picric acid
with which to make q bomb. Tht
union men refused to make any agree
ment with him. They then went tt
the St. Paul chief Of police who con
suited the county attorney, Richard
D. O'Brien, after which union leader
returned to Du Wallis room. The,
had with them $50 marked in tn
presence of the chief of police ant
O'Brien. Du Vail accepted it on tn,
understanding he was to proceed will
the explosion.
AS soon as he had taken the none,
Du Vail was arrested by St. Paul de
tectives and taken to Jail. The mex
day he signed written confession i,
which he implicated officials Of Al
mour & Co., operatives Of the Pinker
ton Detective agency and a South st
Paul policeman. According to D,
Vail the boiler plant was to be blow
up and the leaders of the strikin,
packing employees were to be implicat
ed in such way that the blame coul,
be- placed on them.
That's an old game employed b.
strikebreaking detective agencies t
discredit union labor! It was en-
!, ployed by the Pinkerton's to brea
up the "Molly Maguires" in Pennsyl
, vania. The same agency, or at lea.
the same operative, used it in Cole

Boost the Union Label

It is the union man who must
Great the demand for union made
goods. He must tell what the union
label stands for.
II every union man will try to
make himself worth as much to the
union as the union has been Of value
to him, he will become a. persistent
purchaser OF union made goods.
It is the union man who, in pur-
chasing the products OF a non-union
firm, puts it in the power Of that
firm to compel others to follow his
example.
The more union labels the more
union purchases, the more union pur-
chasern, the more union men, tho
more union men the more power to
yield. Isn't It plain?
So long as workers continue to
buy non-union made goods, Just so
long will merchants continue to
handle that class of goods, the exist
ence of which proclaims labor's
servility.
/ The workers purchasing power is
his own. It is free from judicial or
legislative restraint. Properly and
loyalty used it would crush the anti
union movement of unfriendly en-
ployers so that it could never rise
again.

These business men, the first over
sent to jail under the Sherman act,
were given, not 10 years, but two
months imprisonment and , fine Of
$500 each. There has not been Z
peep from the News-Tribune since on
that subject. There was not even
editorial comment on the leniency
shown by the court.
But here's another case that seems
to have escaped the attention Of the
daily papers Of New York. It in.
volved several men whose names are
well known to the American people.
They are six directors Of the Inter
borough company, one Of New York q
street Car companies, who refused to
testify before state commission un-
less they were first given an t'im-
munity bath''- which means they
insisted on being placed In = posi-
ton where they could not be prose-
cuted for any criminal acts develop
ed by the examination.
The charge against the six: rich
men is that they paid dividends on
borrowed money. That's q crime and
4 penitentiary- offense in New York.
It is also charged that by reason Of
such illegal dividends the price Of
Interborough stock shot upwards and
the directors, having inside informa-
ton, were enabled to engage in very
profitable speculation.
Who are these men9 There il
August Belmont, whose name is al.
most a household word, Daniel Reid
who did things to the Rock Island;
Morgan o 'Brien, once a judge and the
kind Big Business likes to see on the
bench; Cornelius Vanderbilt, head OF
the "public bs damned" family, and
IT.. Dewitt Cuyler Of the Pennsyl
vania road, who as the represen'
tative Of the 'fHouse Of Morgan, u
sets on the directorate Of numerous
railroads, and. leads those interests
in their. fights on union labor.
These men might stand: in the
shadow Of . prison il they tell what
they have done. to = great property
which they hold in trust for thousands
Of stockholders. The New Yorl
newspapers carried stories Of the case
but papers elsewhere have been a.
silent AZ clans. What would have
been their attitude If labor leaders
instead Of financial magnates, WERE
fnvolved1 Charity prompts the reply
that the Brinton case was so unusua
that it deserved widespread publicity
while the conduct Of these six rict
men is 20 common in financial cir
cles that it has ceased to be matte,
of interesting news.
The 1nterborough is the story o.
scores Of railroad systems scattered
from Maine to California. The in
terests that looted the Interborougl
are identically the interests that plum
dered the New Haven, the Rock Is
land, tho Denver & Rio Grande ant
other. roads too numerous to be men
toned: in this column.
All the country is vitally concerned
in such transactions. THE PEOPLE
PAY THE BILLS and they will con
tinue to pay them until we hav
enough newspapers in the country tina
will have the courage to print tn
news and tell the truth about it.
