UNCHALLENGED FREEDOM
Bible Thoughts memorized, will prove I
priceless heritage in after years.

Washington, Aug. 21-"President
Harding is on absolutely sound and
unbeatable ground when he asserts
the right Of free men to the protection
of the government in the exercise OF
their right to engage in legitimate oc-
eupations," declares the Republican
Publicity Association, through 1T S
President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
nowhere will any law-abiding man
question the soundness in either law
or morals of his statement in his let
ter to the chairman Of the Railway
Employees Publicity Org a nization
when he said:
That same unchallenged freedom
which permits you and your associates
to decline to work is no less the heri-
tage of the free American who chooses
to accept employment under the terms
proposed. The difference between the
two positions is that the striking rail-
road workers exercise their rights OF
freedom in seeking to hinder the neces-
sary transportation Of the country, not
withstanding the provision made by
law for the consideration Of any just
grievance, and the striking miners seek
to prevent the production Of coal nec-
essary to common welfare, notwith-
standing the offer OF an agency TO
make an impartial settlement, while
the men who choose to work in re-
spouse to the call OF the country are
exercising their like rights, and at the
same time are making their contribu-
ton to our common American welfare.
There can be no doubt whatever
that in upholding the policy he enun-
ciated in that statement the American
peiple will support the President to the
uttermOst."

THE FARMS NEXT
ia Crosse Tribune)

On page two, third column, in its
issue of July %, ''The Industrial
Worker" the organ of the /. w. W..
carries a story in which the following
paragraph appears:
81 don't see that we should sob any
sobs about the farm owner. Inc
dairy hand, though, is another mat
ter. There is lots of work around
farms besides harvest work. Although
the harvest workers are doing well and
have organized twenty-thOusand or so
of themselves into the /. w. W., stlH
the Agricultural Workers Industrial
Union should not forget that there are
over six million farm hands, wage
workers. in the United States. L
would suggest two places where they
could start to organize dairy farms,
and in these two places the Lumber
Workers Industrial union could help
also. One is the state Of Wisconsin
and the other is the state OF Washlng-
ton. Each of these is an Important
lumber producing region and each a
great milk and butter producing
state"
The I. w. W. is known to the farm
ers of Wisconsin. They recall the
burning Of crops in the Dakotas and
Montana. They are aware OF the I'M
portant part played by I. w. W. lead
ers in the Non-partisan League move
ment Of North Dakota. Wisconsin
farmers may be interested in 0bserv-
| ing that Wisconsin is marked as one
of two states in which things are ripe
| for I. w. w. organization.
These fellows and their type, are
going to vote for Senator La Toilette
and John J. Blaine in the coming cleo
ton.
we ask Wisconsin farmers to note
that the I. w. W. farmers won't sob
any sobs" for the farm owner. TO
them. the farm owner means what the
factory means to the Industrial work
err. To them the farm owner is a
capitalist, to be handicapped and
broken in every possible way.
What would most encourage the l.
| w. w. to carry out the project OF or
ganizing the farm hands Of Wiscon-
sin-the election of Senator La Foil
cite and Governor Blaine, or their de-
feat?
This is something for Wisconsin
| farmers to think about.

BURN WOOD

The suggestion is made by Chip
pewa county farmer that the people
living where wood can be purchased
should procure wood CRATES for their
stoves and furnaces and burn wood
this coming winter. This would give
the farmer a market for his wood and
aid in clearing some of the timber
land so much needed for agricultural
purposes. 1t is a good suggestion and
was put into practice quite largely in
Bloomer last winter. By adopting
the practice more largely in northern
Wisconsin where there are thousands
Of acres Of good agricultural land to
be cleared, we will be killing two
birds with one stone. We will help
the people in the communities where
there is no wood in conserving the coal
supply. And it can be done without
additional cost to those people who
live in wooded communities as the
wood is practically as cheap as the
coal.-Bloomer Advance

To Actual Subscribers LILO
THE REAL APOSTLES OF TRUTH!

William r. Hearst's Wisconsin
News, one of the chain of newspapers
owned by that multi-milliOnaire, and
the Capital Times are held up by Sen
ator La Toilette as the shining stars
of truth in the newspaper field Of this
state, while the many newspapers OPP
posing the senator are represented as
Withholding and suppressing the truth
as the hirelings and puppets Of pred
atory interests.
If the News-Budget thought that
all the people or papers that were I'M
able to agree with us were bought up
and corrupt we would certainly have
a gloomy outlook for the future of the
country We would probably feel like
La Toilette does. The News-Budget is
too optimisticaIly inclined to believe
that the great majority Of those who
will vote for La Toilette this fall are
not honest in their convictions.
But we also believe they are sadly
humbugged; that La Toilette has wan
dered into by-ways that do not lead
best for the nation; that his mind has
become warped by political disap-
p0intment and poisoned against many
things that are good.
The News-Budget recognizes in La
Toilette man OF unusual ability, a
hriI nj ctn Of hn ort Of wi,
crowds of people, man who has in
the past done a great deal of good
for this state.
Recognizing these things we cannot
follow La Toilette along pathway
that is common ground for the So
cialists, the l. W. WIS, the liquor in
terests, the non-partisan leaguers.
We cannot understand his position
= during the war and his attitude
toward it nOw-nothing but censure
for our late allies, denying justifca-
ton for Americas entry into the war,
sneering at the idea that the cause of
world democracy was at stake, justify
ing Germany's g6nUarine warfare,
without a word Of condemnation of
the kaiser and his cohorts, or Of the
ruthless slaughter of innocent men,
women and children in the free mid
ocean lanes Of travel
If La Toilette is right, it was wrong
for America to enter the war against
Germany; if so, it must have been
equally wrong for the many other ma
lions that imagined democracy was
somehow at stake The victory must
have been great one for the devil and
caused great rejoicing in hell. Only
Germany, Austria ana Turkey were
right-as the Kaiser might say: ''Me
und Gott!"
La Toilette was misquoted in ST.
Paul no doubt; but we know what he
said in Ladysmith If his Ladysmith
speech had the true-blue ring of pa.
triotism-0h, well; what's the usei

editors that have sold out to the great

Attention is called by the Railway
Age to the fact that in every week
OF the four weeks ending with May 81.
the number OF cars loaded with COM
modities other than coal was larger
than in the corresponding week OF any
other year since car loading statistics
have been published. This is one Of
the strongest proofs of the revival of
business yet presented 1t may be sur
prising to learn also that the loadings
of coal, which was only about half of
what they were in previous years,
amounted to s12,179 cars. The Age
points out that If the loadings OF coal
had been as large this year as in any
OF the preceding years. the num-
Der of cars of all kinds of freight
shipped would have been larger than
in any of the preceding years.

GoMPERs's ATTACK on COURTS.

Twice within a few days the su-
preme court OF our land has rendered
decisions fitting only to the dark days
of DID, declared Samuel Gompers in
his opening address before the Amer
lean Federation of Labor convention.
There is a bOisterous and bra7en
movement at work to DESTROY every
progressive institution and to sub
merge human rights for the sake of
profiteerS and industrial autocrats."
Mr.. Gompers always sees dire con-
sequences resulting from anything
that is done contrary to his views or
interests. But the people probably
will continue to put their faith in the
courts. There really is nothing else
for them to do or for Mr.. Gompers
either, for that matter.
Commenting on the supreme court
decisions referred to BY the labor
leader the Chicago News says:
There is no gratuitous lecturing of
labor unions. There is no violent or
unreasonable departure from law and
precedent There is not a sentence in
the opinion that can be tortured into
holding that unions are liable for I'M
authorized acts of individuals. Unions
are held SuaDle and liable Tor acts OF
individual members only when they
are the natural consequences of steps
taken and orders issued by officers
and committees clothed with authority
to commit the unions. There must be
evidence OF a desire and intention on
the part of the union to conspire to
violate the law, or to hamper inter-
state commerce, or to invade private
rights.
The court does. indeed. rule, and for
the first time, that labor unions and
other voluntary bodies are suable
under the Sherman antitrust act; but
the decision is based on a close analy-
sis of the language of that act and of
many leading cases and legislative en-
actments, federal and state, American
and British, that combine. in the judg-
ment of the court. to give voluntary
associations a new legal and economic
status
1t is perfectly safe to say that few
thoughtful lawyers or other citizens
after candid and unprejudiced study
of the opinion will share the notion
that bias entered into it or that its
effect will be the virtual enslavement
OF the worker or the taking of a
workers property or money without
due process of law.
