In the recent judicial elections In
Chicago were just the beginning Of
what the Midwest Metropolis ought to
have started long ngo-that Is to get
rid Of Big Bill and his rotten machine.
We will feel like getting out red head

educated voters put aside party lines
and combine to send Big Bill followed
by LaFolcttc. Reed and some more Of
our nnpatriotic radicals down the ta-

THE UNEMPLOYED

Today in the manufacturing ccnters
,f ,his country the army Of unemployed
is steadily cncrcusing. II * true that
uuuv steel mills have simply closed
down in order to wait for the promised
freight reduction hut the majority oi
factories and mills not In operation or
only in partial operation are suffering
from the lnck of orders due to the gem
crnI business depression.
Onr hns only to walk the streets OF
n manufacturing city In order to get
an idcn Of the number Of Idle men. 1t
is indeed distressing to think of the
hunger and lmr,iships due TO the Idle
ness of the supporting members OF
lninrincn's families. But to our mind
there is one silver lining to the dark
cloud of the present army of nncm-
ployetl and that Is n check to the mad
fnninSy of labor leaders to hold Amer
i.nn industry and capital under their
sway.
During the war American labor was
,n,id nhore.s than n living wage. Those
with foresight saved and today can
cnre for their families during their
forced vacation. However many who
are out of work now saved nothing
and were more cNttrnvagnnt than pco-
pie of means. Some stated tlnt the In
boring class had felt their power and
that they would never allow wages to
go down.
The financial depression has opened
the eyes Of many lnboring men to the
fact the mill owner was not stealing
their Just wages ns the labor union
orItor would have them believe. The
Norfolk plan. whereby the men were
allowed to run u mill themselves. prov
ed that they could not make enough
to pay their own wages. When work Is
lard to find men will be willing to nc
crpt the wages of the employer in or
der to Obtain steady work. Today the
present condition Of so many 1aborins
men, the recent exposures of the graft
and cro0kedness of labor leaders In
the Hrindlc case, and the growth OF
the open shop nrc fast weakening the
soviet power the labor union leaders
were gaining ever American industry.

we entered the war only to save our
own skins. Perhaps no severer criti-
cism has been directed at Mr. Harvey
than is contained In n telegram from
him to President Wilson on April 3.
1917. the day following the delivery of
the Presidents war message. in which,
the President said:
"Tlic challenge is to all mankind.
Our object now. ns then. Is to vilnli-
cate the principles Of peace and Justice
IN the life Of the world as against sell
fish and autocratic power and to set up
among the really free sclf-governed
peoples Of the world such concert Of
purpose and of action ms will hence
forth insure the obse rvance of those
principles. The world must he made
safe for democracy We have no selfish
ends to serve. We are but one OF the
champion of the rights of mankind cite.
Mr. Harvey's telegram of congratula-
tion to President Wilson the next day
was as follows:
"A great message of patriotism, evil
dencing masterfnl leadership based up
on mutual faith Of the President In his
country and Of the country in Its Pres
idcnt. was confident as one could fe
hut even so was not prepared for 30

WASHINGTON DISPATCHES

Rance In Appropriations lack OF pro
gramme and the failure to make good
election promises nre the chief char
acteristics Of the Republican Legislative
situation here at this writing. The
charges arc:
The Republicans promised to reduce
Federal taxes. but are increasing them.
They promised to make a speedy
technical peace, but the peace situation
is up IN the air.
They promised to revive blsincss hut
there has been a constant decline In for
elkn trade and continued depression Of
securities.
They promised reversal Of Ameri-
can.f0rcign policies. hut have adhered
strictly to the policies Of the former
administration.
These charges are made and the
proof furnished In large part by Re-
publicans. Take. for instance. the
statement Of Senator BOrah Rep,
