The Glad New Year

WHAT a glad New Year it will be for
" your Uncle Sam! With his creditors
burning the backs Of his ears with their
hot, indignant breath, and with his debtors
fading into the horizon, with La Toilette
on the warpath and Johnson running for
President, with the Near East crumbling
into barbarism and middle Europe slump
ing to decay, with the Irish Free State
outdoing the tyrannies of England, leay-
ing no one for the Irish 70 hate; with
Great Britain about to lose India and
France about to lose her head with bur
glars, bandits and boodlers chasing the
minions Of the law under the bed and the
booze buyers smashing the Federal Con-
stitution to bits, the most comfort Uncle
Unrle Sam can get out Of it is the sweetly
solemn thought that, being the oldest
government now on earth operating
under the same constitution, it VIII be.
his turn soon. 81.
So let's wish him Happy New Year.
and then duck and run!
New-York tribune., 1922-12-31

at Herrin without some cause, however
weak it may be. What was the deep sig
nificance Of the action of these murder
ers?
We are facing here a chans ID attitude
among workers and their sympathizers to
our economic order. The workers and the
town they lived in believed that the men
who were murdered had violated certain
vital rights in asserting their own rights
to work. The latent right which the
Herrin butchers supported was the right
of man to his job Probably legally
there is no such right. Yet here were a
thousand men ready to risk their lives by
numbering for that right.
Labor is beginning to feel that skill
has the same status as property. The
right to apply their skill in the place
where II will produce value labor seems
to regard as an essential human right.
This is astonishing. But we cannot ignore
it-thi1 belief Of the laborer in his right to
what he calls his job. He feels that so
long as the place where he works is a
"going concern" his right to work is ex-
,actly upon the same footing as the own
iers right TO profit.
\ This is new doctrine, and, being new,
the probability is that it is false doctrine.
But it has convinced men 50 that they

Herrin were just like the German cow
ards in Belgium-kind fathers, indulgent
husbands, ordinarily good citizens, mad
with war lust, turned into mad dogs by
fanaticism. And in considering fanati-
cism, after furnishing and clearing away
the fanatics, the thing to do is to consider
its sources, TO examine its bases, to see

What Herrin Means

THE evidence in the Herrin massacre
indicated that the town Of Herrin,
which seems TO be an average American
community, not at all dominated by the
foreign-born, went to the strip mine last
summer with a cold-blooded decision TO
slaughter the stVike-breakers. The town
folk did wholesale, eowardly murder and
probably tortured some Of their victims"
The union miners seem TO have led, but
they had the sympathy and support OF
their fellow citizens. The evidence IN
court brings out with terrible simihtude
the contemporary story of the reporters.
It may be well 70 consider this butchery
as something more than an outbreak OF
angry men. 1t may be well to ask why
the men got angry; why they believed
themselves justified in brutal slaughter
of their fellow creatures; why the town
stood by them. The men who we're KILLED
were only exercising their ancient con-
stitutiOnal sight-to work Why were they
treated worse than beasts? Americans
are not given to bestial orgies like that
