The district attorney of Racine
county says that it is a crime to trans
fer a gland from the body of one per-
son to another in Wisconsin and is
punishable by imprisonment OF from
one to fifteen years Besides it is
immoral and unethical. He had in
mind the operation referred to in this
column last week. He did not say
whether the one who gives the gland,
or the one who gets it, or the Operat-
ing surgeon, is the the guilty one, but
presumably all would be equally
guilty. His theory is based on the
inviolability of the human body. Ii
one person may not violate the body
of another, then he may not violate
his own by consenting to the removal
of healthy gland. Surgical opera
lions for the TRANSMISSION of blood and
for skin grating are quite common,
but we have never heard its lawful
ness questioned, though the blood is
a vital fluid If this matter is test
ed out in the courts, it will mean more
notoriety for the harvester king"
Seems like some one is always casting
a fly into the ointment of the rich.

The same papers that carried the
first reports of the shocking massacre
by striking union miners at Herrin,
Ill, last week, told of the launching
of a program by the American FEEDER
alton of Labor at the Cincinnati con-
vention for curbing the courts.
By all means, say the federation
leaders, in effect, let us put check
rein on the courts, disarm the state
guards, and place the country at the
mercy of mob rule.
Then we would have justice! The
kind they have in Russia and southern
Illinois today For if a man who
needs employment to support his fam
lily cannot go to work when Opportu-
nifty presents and the wages and work
ing conditions are satisfactory to him,
where is our vaunted liberty?
The miners, or any other men, have
an inherent right to refuse to sell their
labor for less than they think it is
worth or will command. They have
no right to deny other men the right

right to employ men who are willing
to work.
The tragedy at Herrin has even
graver aspects than the fiendish cru
city shown in the ruthless killing of
so many innocent and defenseless hui
man beings.
OminOus. indeed, is the attitude
shown by the whole ''bloody William
son county," the mine workers leaders,
and to some extent, by the state of
Illinois.
Knowing that the battle was immi-
nent the local authorities, making no
attempt themselves to prevent the ter
rible tragedy, refused to call out the
state troops. Then after the massa-
ere, what was the expression of the
people of the community in regard
to the fiendish murders?
Not a word Of pity for the men who
were so cruelty done to DEATH or sym
pathy for their families. They were
outsiders enemies-it served them
right That was the attitude taken
by the men and women of Herrin. Nc
one dared express a word of criticism
or condemnation of the action of the
mob, if they did feel it, lest their own
life be taken. Intimidation was gen

Every man of that Illinois mob that
murdered between forty and fifty help
less men in cold blood is a potential
future murderer, ON any slight pre-
text, if he thinks he can escape pun
iShment. With the mark of Cain on
his soul, it will be easy to Stay again.
Bloody Williamson county will pay
dearly for this massacre in the years
to come and will be paying fifty
years from now. Every child who
witnessed a part of that indescribable
horror, or who looked upon the long
rows of mangled dead while their par
ents sneered at these men who died
because they were guilty of wanting
to work and justified the deed, carries
on his soul, indelibly stamped, an i'm
preston that years will not efface; in
his mind the embryo of murderous
blood lust
1t is an inescapable law of nature
as well as a divine precept that ''the
sins of the father are visited upon the
children, even unto the third and
fourth generations"
And no more cold-blooded murderer
ever graced a gallows than the men
who roped those defenseless men to-
gether, shot them down, hunted them
through the fields mercilessly, hung
them, beat them to death, and even
refused the dying men water to re-
lieve their last agonies.
That massacre is disgrace not
only to Williamson county but to the
whole state of Illinois. 1T is a rotten
state that will elect officials who will
stand for such a deal

Tear gas routed a mob of one thou
sand men bent on wreaking vengeance
on a man charged with a heinous
crime at Jackson, Mich. Every jail
should be supplied with tear gas
bombs with which to repel mobs, and
if the Williamson county, Ill, coal
mines had had a supply perhaps the
horrible slaughter of nOn-union miners
at Herrin would have been prevented.
Tear gas does not permanently injure,
but it puts a person out of commits
for awhile and gives him something
besides violence to think about.

ter by a jury of misrepresentation of
funds of the state after trial lasting
nine weeks. Two days after the YER
dict the governors wife died from a
relapse of the mental strain under
which she suffered because of the
charges against her husband. Gov.
Small says that the charges against
him were inspired by his political enc
mics and that his wife's death is in
directly attributable to them. He has
good reason to feel bitterly toward
these political enemies, unless there
was some foundation for the charges.

eral. Local newspapers there had
very brief, guarded references to the
tragedy. News-dealers warned not to
sell the daily papers, under dire
threats if they disobeyed, closed up
shop. The local and county officials
were completely in league with the
mob leaders. To have called out the
militia when bloodshed was imminent
would have cost them their jobs.
The Herrin miners with the appar-
ent backing of the entire county, Off
Gals and all, have served notice to the
state of Illinois and the nation that
they are the law in that section; that
if employers bring men in there to
work, the miners will destroy their
properties and murder their men. 1t
is a most heinous offense if the mine
owners attempt to resist the mob,
guard their property from destruction
and protect their workers. For such
attempts, not only will they destroy
and kill, but the killing will be accom-
panied by the most barbarOus cruel
ties, "regrettable of course, but neces-
sary," in order to strike terror into
the hearts of other men who are I'M
employed or other mine owners who
may wish to operate their properties.

Dear Sir:
In your issue of May 9Th you pub

suggested your editorial was grossly
exaggerated in the New York newspa
pers. 1t being the first Sunday on
which services were to be held in the
Park Avenue Baptist church, of which
I am a member, the officers in charge
had I fancy, asked to have police
man outside of the church, fearing
that there might be a large crowd and
a congestion of traffic in front of the
church. No one was more surprised
than I when a detective introduced
himself to me- How he happened to
have been there | do not know. | told
him at once that while approaching
his proffered services, | had no need

Lewis, president of the United Mine

Do you see in that attitude any evil

any indication of righteous wrath
that a crime Of such revolving details
and wholesale proportions could be

The present leaders of republican

and other bolshevist leaders would
move more rapidly toward the point of
view of western peoples If they did not
fear assassination. They fear not only
assa ssination. but loss Of the influence
of all such leaders as themselves over
the indutrial elements. This situation,
now fully revealed to allied diplomats
IL considered one OF the chief stumbling
blocks in all Russian negotiations.
Concerning the peasants these lead
ers feel no anxiety. Throughout the
rural districts there Is a strong feeling
for private property. Workers in the
cities. however. cling to the doctrine
of naturalization. They still believe
everything that was instilled into them
in the first days of Leninism. Whoever
advocates compromise with "capitalis-
tic" nations the Russian city workers
regard as a traitor to tho revolution
and to the cause of communism in gen.
eraI. For every such person the recog-
nlZed penalty is ASSASSINATION.
Not Seeking MartyrdOm.
Krassin, Litvinoff and their asso-
ciates are not seeking martyrdom.
Moreover they believe that Russia.
must establish trading relations with
the rest of the world or pass through
a further indefinite period of chaos
and starvation. These Russian leaders
have convinced Lloyd George and
other British statesmen of their good
faith. And British statesmen do not
want those Russian leaders assassi-
mated.
Lloyd George and his advisers see
no hope of bringing Russia back into
the Community of European nations
within a measurable time without
the assistance of those Russian lead
ers whom western statesmen have
finally brought to acknowledge the
soundness of western social and po-
litical principles.
In this fact lies the explanation Of
the patience shown by informed non
Russian public men toward the Official
pretensions of the bolshevist leaders.

not to be taken at their face value

By the Axsocia ted Press.

CHICAGO, July 22-The movies
are setting the artistic standard for
the next generation-a standard
which is too low. which suppresses
and which does not give a spiritual
misunderstanding to Miss Harriet
Monroe, editor Of Poetry and cham
pion Of what she admits is a some-
what revolutionary art.
America, in fact, is in danger Of
drying up spiritually condition
having no relation whatever to pro-
hibition, Miss Monroe says. Amer
ica's art is too cut and dried; there
is no room for individual expression;
it is all tailor-made, like a suit Of
clothes, she believes.
1.-The country is becoming too
much standardized in everything"
said Miss Monroe. What we need
is room for the creative genius Of
people to get to work. Everything
il made to order for them now.
''Of course. people in large cities
have an opportunity to see a va
riety Of art. but. those In the small
towns-why, they are left utterly
without anything except the movies.
And the movies are all made after
the same pattern; they conform to a
certain formula and they are not
contributing what they should to
