All is Quiet-and Shameful

IN. l 11eldluj
The Governor of Illinois has re-
called the troops from the scene of
the mine butchery because law and
order are restored" What the phrase
quoted really means is that the mob,
having killed or wounded every pos
sible victim, stopped numbering.
An Investigator sent TO William
son county by the Governor reported
that mo further trouble is expected
unless the mining companies try to
resume operations" This is putting
upon the mine owners the response
hility for the peace It is saying TO
the public that the mob, by its mas
saCrc of twenty five unarmcd men,
has won the day.
1t is very much as if the authori-
ties of New York, after twenty five
citizens had been killed by bandits,
should issue q statement saying that
mo further trouble is expected I'M
less citizens try TO walk the streets
or open their stores
There seems to be a passion for
peace in southern Illinois, now that
the mob, stated with blood. has pock-
Cbtu us pISlOlS anu hIIN pS. bul
among the officials, local and State,
there seems to be no passion for jus
ticc, no comprehension of the holm
Gus crime that was committed.
Is it delusion, this evident no.
ton among the Illinois officials that
murder is not murder when it is done
in the name Of unionism? Or is their
spirit, rs most of the outer world
suspect, plain cowardice?
Whatever the trouble with the mon
responsible for law and order in Hi
nois. this country is not going to for
get the butchery. Senator Myers of
Montana voiced the national senti-
ment when he declared in the Senate
on Saturday that there is no free
America and there will never. be
until an American citizen who wants
to work and earn an honest living
can so and set work and pursue that
work in peace without having to OBJ
tain the consent Of an invisibl gov
eminent"
That was the only crime of the
Herrin mob's Misunderstanding to
make a living.
The local officials failed to do their
duty before, during and after the
horror. The state officials, instead
Of talking and acting to the end of
bringing the murderers to Justice,
are talking about how trouble" can
be avoided. If they fail in thea duty,
if even the people Of Illinois should
blink the states shame, the United
States cannot close its eyes,
For until the coal mine butchcry is
legally avenged, how can America
look another nation in the eye and
speak the word "civilization?"

A correspondent in the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger. who signs: "A
Union Miner (but not " Choice"
has the following to say about the
methods used in his district for talk
ing strike vote:
Witness the methods used in this
district for obtaining a strike vote.
The average person thinks naturally
that this is done by a secret ballot.
Not so; not by long shot The
leaders know that they could not use
intimidation if that method were
used. Instead a slate is hung on
the wall with a line drawn down
through the middle. On the top are
written the words yes" and no"
Nearby stands a radical union small
fry leader. He makes sure that you
vote yes" He instructs you to make
a mark under yes" Those desiring
to vote mo" are scared away. They
don't vote at ALL
Such is democracy in the United
Mine Workers OF America. Presently
the big guns Of the union will an
nounce unanimous vote in favor Of
a strike. What farce! But the day
have strikes and massacres so long
rs the union man remains ignorant
or permits himself to be dominated
by ignorant leaders and an ignorant
ideal

TEACHING MORALS

In the opinion of many the teach
ers and pupils of the public schools
already have assigned to them more
tasks than there is time for properly
ever, few would have the matter of
morals neglected, whatever might
commencement day orators have
much to say about the character
forming influences of the college,
The same should be sad. truthfully
respecting the common schools.
The Slug, 4 trade journal published
by the Linograph Company, con-
tains an excellent article on Moral
Training in Our Schools in course
of which it says:
America has a wonderful public
school system, and the teachers de-
serve great credit for their efforts in
training American children, for they
are very independent race.
Our present courses do not how
ever, include teaching of any definite
code of ethics or, code of morals, if
you please, and it is a serious short
coming. There is no country in the
world where children are so free
from religious influence as here, but
neither is there any other country
where they receive so little definite
i,,ct IN, IN, hn,t fn hol
do here.
The Ten Commandments would
serve as a mighty good code of NOR
ais and while it is true that these
commandments arc found in the
Bible, it cannot be said that they re
fer to any particular religion or
creed. They are a sound basis for
our young Americans.
If this code is not satisfactory
then let us formulate another code
which we all can accept as fit TO
teach our children and let us incor-
porate that in the regular public
school instruction.
We can afford to devote Il definite
period in the regular curriculum to
giving them instruction in truthful
ness and honesty, as we'll as other
details of the moral code. We can
not too strongly impress upon the
growing minds the adherence of ly-
ing and stealing. AS it is We only
refer to these things when special
cases come up.
1T is a fact that children pay more
attention to instruction given them in
the school than they do to what their
parents tell them. Of course our
teachers everywhere do teach them
some ethics, but only through their
personal conduct and an occasional
lecture.
IF We taught grammar or arithme-
tic in that manner very few of our
children would learn much about
these branches, and since we &C
knowledge this fact by teaching them
diligently it seems logical to do the
same with respect to morals and
ethics

OUR PROFIT FROM FORESIGHT

The Postmaster General states that
five hundred post office buildings in
this country need charging to &C
Commodate the increased business.
This calls to mind the fact that when
the Federal building in this city was
enlarged, thanks to foresight. some
thought it was larger than was need
ed
The Postma ster General earnestly
protests against the present plan Of
renting buildings for postal purposes.
and says: Experience will support
the statement that the Department.
being compelled to pay in rental the
first cost of such a building during
the life Of a twentY-year lease, is
subversive of good business methods,
from which the Post Office Depart
ment should be relieved through con-
gressional appropriations"
The late Edwin C. Burleigh COM
pretended this fact years ago and
acted upon it with his accustomed
vigor, with the result that the Fed
eral Government finds the Federal
buildings which he Was instrumental
in having constructed are profitable
investments, for the Governments
money that went into them when
costs Of construction We're compara-
lively low and for the service which
they render.

SHOULD NOT BE EXTENUATED

The sheriff of the county in which
Herrin, Illinois. is located says he is
unable to learn the identity of any
member of the great mob, which un-
masked and unconcealed in all their
movements, massacred the mine
workers. The authorities of the great
State Of Illinois say that law and ord
er are restored and there is no occa-
sion to send troops to Herrin. The
Associated Press reports that the
state and federal investigators are
convinced that if the twelve wounded
men now ir the Herrin hospital at
tempt to leave it they will be MUIR
dered by those who act on the MUIR
derer's policy that dead men tell no
tales.
Whom are we to believer The AS
ISOLATED Press, of course. 1t should
be and no reason appears why it is
not a disinterested reporter of con-
ditions. Law and order do not exist
in Herrin, Illinois. 1t is an insult to
the intelligence of the country to say
that they do. The arms selected to
uphold law and order are paralyzed
by cowardice. those Of the State of
Illinois as we'll as those Of tho po-
liceman on the beat in Herrin
Such a condition inevitably and
logically becomes the concern of the
country at large. Speaking Of what
was done at Herrin, President Hard

HOW ABATE THE NUISANCE

This country is a neighborhood OF
states. Neighhors can made nuisan-
ces of themselves. When they do it
becomes necessary to find way to
abate the nuisance. Great care, how
ever, should be taken to make sure
that a nuisance exists. Such assur-
ance respecting the employment of
child labor in some Of the States is
undoubted 1t should be abated.
How may that be best done?
Compers, who is a Democrat and
very partisan, has been blaming the
decision OF the Supreme Court onto
the Republicans. The latter can
stand it, because the decision that
the child labor law is unconstitution-
al has nothing whatever to do with
politics. But politics has whole lot
to do with making the laws, especial
" in the several states. Since Com
pers has raised this question of pol
itics, which does not belong in the
discussion at all, one may scarcely
avoid the fact that most Of those
states grossly deficient in protecting
childhood have been for several gem
erations Democratic through and
through.
In refreshing contrast to Gon1pers
Is Hoover. He isn't trying to make
political capital out of the degrading
conditions under which children are
worked in some Of the states but he
would find a remedy. AS last re-
sort he would endeavor to have a
Constitutional amendment to prevent
this but, recognizing the menacing
increase Of Federal control in the
States, he would first endeavor to Sc
cure the desired end through the
states themselves. Will this result
in coordinated effort on their part or
isolated sulking? Will the states be
inspired to remedy these disgraceful
ConQltlOnS ana take prlde IN dong SO
or will those who profit from the
servitude of child labor prevent i'm
provement?
Anyhow, Hoover is going the right
way about it, His plan should find
support, especially among those who
agree with him that it is bad policy
20 open the gates to Federal en-
croa chment every time a local cess
pool is to be drained.
