of an anti-league association backed
by the world war veterans deter
mined to oppose activities of league
organizers and a declaration by A.
c. Townley, director of the league
forces, that he was in the fight
until the leagues political campaign
is carried out in the state.
After an all-day meeting of nearly
800 former service men, an organ
igation to be known as the Amer
lean Defense League" of Kansas
was perfected. While the former
service men were meeting Townley
addressed a crowd of 1900 farmers

justice" he said
He attacked Governor Henry J..
Allen, who several days ago de-
nounced Townley as disloyal.
The best way for Allen and his
gang to get rid of me-" he said, "is
to carry out the league program or
get out of the way and let the
people organize themselves and then
shall GO"
A large portion of his address was
devoted to a denunciation of Gov

DEXTEROUS POINDEXTER

They say the L. S. Senate is
crooked is that straight ?"
Senator LaFollette, with a mo-
ton to reconsider having tied the
Poindexter anti-strike bill into a
tight legislative knot, its opponents
in the Senate have virtually decided
to leave it there for the rest of the
season, it was learned.
The bill makes felony of strikes
among employees of carriers en-
gagged in interstate and foreign COM
merce. 1t passed the Senate some
time ago when only half a dozen
members were present, and a mo-
ton to reconsider its passage is now
pending"
Our own dear Senator Poindexter
recently attempted to fasten this
anti-strike legislation on the coun-
try. 1t would place hundreds of
thousands of American citizens in
state of wage slavery.
The unamerican house of lords
has a rule which makes it unneces-
sary to have quorum to pass a bill
if no question of a quorum is raised.
The Senate has SO members and it is
said only six were present when this
bill was passed. Poindexter took
advantage of the rule and Showed
his bill across"
This is the fellow who was such
a good and constant friend of labor
when he was candidate for cleo
ton in this state.
Look at i'm now and the day We
got i'm"
Wonder if he will be dexterous
enough to do it again?

WHAT THE NEW YEAR

We are standing at the threshold
Of a magnificent future. Out of the
darkness, the ignorance and mis-
understandings Of the past has come
great realization of the need of
all mankind for real democracy.
With that realization we have reach

we have always heard, but so little
overwhelmingly.
We have been driven to this I'M
derstanding by the sufferings of
men. 1t is suffering that has
compelled US to seek the cause of
social wrongs, and in that seeking
we have found the source of social
unrest. 1t lies in this:
Democracy is a state of society in
which all men are protected by gov
eminent in an equal opportunity to
develop the natural abilities with
which they are endowed by the
Creator; where no man enjoys a
privilege conferred by government
and where no man inherits an adj

produced.
This is not democracy.

months, and are at present, waging

ThizeIS from in any way conducting
peaceful picketing, or from tlephon-

Violating U. S. Laws
To Beat Down Wages

Henry NJ. White, federal immi-
grafton agent at Seattle, says there
have been fragrant violations of i'm
migration laws by employers, while
thousands of men are walking the
streets of Seattle asking for an
opportunity to work for enough to
eat.
White illustrated how employers
in seeking to beat down wages and
enforce unfair conditions of labor
had advertised in Canadian and
other foreign papers for certain
classes of men, giving aliens pref
erence over American workers. He
stated there had for years been laws
on our statute books forbidding such
actions excepting where there is
not enough labor in the United
States to perform the work needed.
'In the past" said White, "many
Of these employers have escaped
punishment on the ground that they
were ignorant of the law, but this
will no longer suffice. Every en-
ployer should know that in case
foreign labor is necessary he must
get it in the proper manner, and /
promise prosecutions of all future
violations"
The report of White shows that
the much-touted american plan" of
employment is being stretched to IA
vor the employer in all cases, with
the Associated Industries backing
the proposition.

MAKING KANSAS UNSAFE
FOR DEMOCRACY

After reading the kilograms which
follow one must conclude that the
eX-servlce men in Salina, Kan, NAV

but their education has been sadly
neglected in the matter of demo-
cratic government. They were told
they were fighting ito make the
world safe for democracy" but now
they are bending their efforts to
make Kansas unsafe for anybody
not in accord with the reactionary
Republican party.

former service men met today to Or
ganize resistance of efforts of A. C.
Townley and Nonpartisan league or
ganlZers to establish the league as
a political weapon in the hands of
farmers and laboring men in the
state.
Approximately 1900 farmers met
IN another hall to hear league speak
ers outline their program.
"A. c. Ketterman, commander of
the Sallna Legion post, declared for
mer service men were organizing
ito combat what the people of Sa-
lima and Salina county thought a
menace"
He said there was no disposition
to use the obstructionist methods
except pitiless publicity. He ad-
ded that anti-league delegates in
