"BUGLE CALL TO DUTY"

A strong indictment against this
congress and a ringing appeal to oust
its reactionary members are made by
the American Federation of Labor
this week to the workers and the
masses of the people.
The present administration is in
dicted for its attempt to serve preda-
tory interests. The reactionaries
have been able to repeal many popu-
lar measures enacted by the Wilson
administration, but they have been
unable to put over their big program,
in which may be included the sales
tax, the ship subsidy bill, compul-
sorry labor, less stringent imigra-
tion and "teeth" in the transporva-
tion act, thanks to the vigilance of
farm and labor organizations
Not a. single constructive measure
was enacted into law by this congress.
There have been sufficient friends of
the public interest in congress to pre-
vent enactment into law of the most
vicious measures, but not enough of
them to take command and enact con-
structive measures.
This congress has been the friend
of the rich and mighty and the enemy
of the weak and poor. The reaction
aries that controlled it removed the
excess profits tax and reduced the
surtaxes for rich friends. They
used the soldiers bonus bill as a
football and passed a measure that
they knew the president would veto.

State Federation of Labor. in his re-
port to the annual convention.
mo policy of modern times has
greater potential power to destroy
freedom of the individual, freedom of
society and free government than the
usurpation by judges to issue writs
of injunction.
"The states and nation have passed
laws against every conceivable crime
Yet judges, in an effort to maintain
rights of property as superior to
rights of humanity, have been ex-
tending the injunction to cover al
most every conceivable thing.
Labor is now not the only sufferer
from the abuse of power by the
courts. There is now pending in the
courts of this state cases on appeal
from the superior court having to
do with the punishment of men for
the alleged violation of an injunction
issued by court in political con-
troversy.
IF the courts are going to under
take to say who shall be permitted to
remain on ballot for the people to
vote for, our system of government
has undergone a revolution. Not
alone in Arizona does this situation
prevail, but a similar case is now
pending in the courts of Texas

POMERENE'S NERVE

Some of the things United States
Senator Pomerene did, and some of
the things he didn't do, since sitting
in the highest council of the nation
weren't entirely satisfactory to the
cause we represent, but if for nothing
else, we take our hats off and bow to
the senator, in fact couple of times
we do this, for the nerve he displayed
in handing out just what he thought
of the prohibition leaders in Ohio.
The senator's opinion of these hypo-
critics is bird. We admire him for
being the first man seeking one of the
highest offices within the gift of the
nation having the nerve to step right
out and saying what he thinks of
them and defying them. 1t is the big
guns he is after, not the small fry.
In his statement he says:
"This statement has no application
to the rank and file of the Anti
Saloon League, which is composed of
men and women actuated, for the
most part, by high purpose.
1T applies only to a few of their
leaders who deliberately and mali
ciously distort and misrepresent every
one who does not bend the knee at
their behest."
And then he goes on to say that
the Anti-Saloon League leaders have
been and now are, only side show
to the republican party.
He then asks, meaning the dry
brothers:
What part of the contributions
made through church and W. C. T. u.
organizations nave gone TO enrIch
Baker, Wheeler and White, and to
pay for their investments in Ohio or
in other states?
What salaries are they drawing
Have they ever taken the public
into their confidence?
"Have they ever explained their
sudden transition from near-poverty
to positions of wealth
Answering all of the above ques-
tions should give the dry leaders
plenty to think about and to do until
after the election at least.

cause they dared to breathe a pro-
test against scabs and strikebreakers
on their way to take the jobs of
striking workmen, The Dayton Labor
Review publishes an article which is
significant and coming as it does, on
the eve of the election, should cause
the more intelligent to do some deep
thinking. Read it; it follows:
Federal Judge Safer sentenced
Peter Gaughan and John Hession,
of Springfield, to 80 days in Jail.
They were accused of directing sar-
castle remarks toward a railroad
coach loaded with scabs and strike
breakers. No claim was made that
their acts were in violation of law.
"The two men were deprived of
their liberty without trial. The
sacred guarantees of the constitution
of the United States were deliber-
ately violated when these men were
automatically deprived of their lib
erty.
Every true American, whose
Americanism is based upon love of
country, as distinguished from that
"Americanism" which consists solely
of love of the eagle on dollar,
must conclude that Judge Safer, in
illegally depriving these men of their
liberty, was guilty of an act more
deadly, more vicious, that that of
the night prowler who uses black
lack upon his victim and then robs
him of his money. The thug deprives
man of that which can easily be
replaced. Judge Safer robbed those
two men of that for the preservation
of which hundreds of thousands OF
Americans have died-freedom He
has robbed them of something he car
never restore.
Judge Safer will excuse his actor
by pleading that many precedent:
have been set-that other judges, in
cluding members of the supreme
court-have sent working men to jai
without granting them trial. Tht
murderer can just as consistent.
claim that other men have committed
murder and escaped punishment
therefore he is justified in taking hu
man life whenever he feels so dis
posed. However, many citizens vii
object to his reasoning. A violation
of the law is a crime, no matter b!
whom committed, or what the prece
dents may be.
Anarchy consists of an utter dis
regard for law, each individual being
free to regulate his actions according
to his own sweet will The equit!
Judge is doing that very thing il
disposing of the bodies of American
citizens, as he completely ignores con
stitutional and statute law, and VIC
lently assumes possession of a power
which the American constitution
never intended he should hold.
How long will this continue il
America? Or, rather, how long will
the American republic exist if this
illegal practice is permitted to con-
tinue?"

SETS EXCESSIVE BAIL

Los Angeles, Cal.--The constitu-

Bledsoe, who has distinguished him

ing Mr.. Bledsoe's personal law. The
striker has been arrested and the
judge demands $4,000 bail.

TWO PARTIES IN FLORIDA
(Florida Times Union.)

In the wave that follows big one, such as was
the Republican victory in 1890. there is always
certain to be great deal OF speculation about a
second party in Florida. AS everyone knows the
Democratic party has been in undsputed control
Of this State for fcrty-hve years. but once in a
while. under conditions which call for a show Of
hands in order that the political pie may be
properly cut, the Republican party makes some
noise in the sta e and there is circulated by the
underground wireless the report that the Repub-
lican party is planning to capture Florida
The election to be held in November will be an
important one in the state and the country and
| the usual 'bugaboo" predicting a strong Repub.
lican party in the state is heard tapping around
There is little fear from this biennial alarm al
though it is, of course necessary to have show
ing made by the Democrats at primary and gen
eral election. Some unusual excitement prevails
| in certain quarters because the Republicans have
thought it we'll to spend some money in Florida
in advertising. The establishment of morning
daily at Winter Park to plead the Republican
cause is one of the events receiving some atten.
dcn-but if the party is content with the cam
paignng done by the Florida Post it is easily
pleased
1t is expected that number of Republican
| candidates will be announced this summer and
the Republican party in the state will unquestion-
ably go through with all the forms and cere.
monies prescribed to put their favorites into the
running, even though the well informed of that
party understand that the Democratic majority

State division talk INDUCED in by newspapers
and Others has reached a point where one writer
declared that if the state we're divided South
Florida would be Republican state-and glad
CT 1t! This sort of statement has not yet been
endorsed so far as we know, and can hardly be
thought to have struck a popular chord.
1t has been suggested in the past that two mar
ties IN Florida would tend to better government
and possibly this is true. But the Republican
party in Florida is not at this time sbowinh
enough strength to merit great consideration
There are Scores probably hundreds of splendid
men and women in Florida who are members
OF the national Republican party, and more who
nave been members before coming to Florida TO
live.
A short time here conyinces the majority that
the Democracy must control affairs, and except
when lulled into too great belief in security tbe
party acting under that banner is in oyerwhelm
ing majority and influence second marty in
Florida is useful to the first party in arousing il
to action and inspiring it to seek the best men
of.the Democracy for high places; for the secont
party itself there seems no future, more than the
retaining OF a register from which political nat
ronage can be handed out
