THE YEARNING
FOR LIBERTY

The yearning for liberty is one
of the strongest of human impulses.
All men feel it. Some are domin-
ated by its power. Others are able
to ignore its urge in the rush of ev-
eryday life, but when the issue is
squarely presented and clearly seen,
men love liberty as dearly as they
love anything else in the world.
Through the ages mankind has
sought truth and justice. At every
hand the powers of vested interests
have resisted, but little by little the
battle has been won. Gradually the
darkness of ignorance has been
thrust aside by the glimmerings Of
knowledge they have made their way
That eternal vigilance, which is
said to be the price Of liberty, is en-
countered wherever human society
has left a record. At one point the
forces of liberty seem to be winning.
At another, liberty and truth are be-
ing ruthlessly crushed to earth by
the power Of the privileged masters
Of life. The struggle goes on.
The struggle must go on. Other
wise there is no hope and no prog
ress.
The standards of liberty and JUS
tice have never been very well form
ulated. Always they are inadequate
and incomplete. Each group, each
age in every land has its own ideas
as to what liberty and equality really
mean. One age sets an ideal. The
other works it out in tangible form
and the ideal is pushed forward.
The human belief in liberty and
justice manifests itself everywhere.
There is no society, however print
tive, which does not present pic
ture of the individual, demanding
and in general receiving, a square
deal from his fellows.
The human yearning for liberty
and justice, so powerful in the case
of the individual, thus becomes a
dynamic, positive force in human
life. Offer any man in modern west
ern society double, treble, or quad
ripple his wages if he will sell him
self or his children into chattel slav-
cry. A few will accept, but the
great majority will refuse immedi-
ately and unquestioningly.
The struggle which has been waged
in the western world against body
slavery is only less significant than
the struggle against mind slavery.
There is not social group, how
ever primitive, in which men do not
demand liberty and justice according
to their lights. The impulse, the
yearning. the passionate resolve are
all three Juggling at the human heart.
| Sometimes they win; sometimes they
lose, but they are ever ready for a
new trial of strength.

SUPREME COURT JUSTICES
LEAD IN COURT CRITICISM

Washington, July 1.-"Members of
the supreme court themselves have

Indeed, so far have they gone in
this respect that members of that
Court-such men as Justice Harlan.

spectful attention Of this body-have
said that the majority Of the court
were violating the constitution Of the

that the supreme court should adju-
dictate the law as written.

LABOR LEGISLATION FOR THE
TURK

According to reports from Angora,
the Grand National Assembly of the
Turkish National Government has
just enacted a law guaranteeing the
safety of workmen and improving
their conditions. says Julian r. Gill
lespie, representative of U. S. De-
partment of Commerce, Constantine
pie. This legislation was passed with
view to protecting the interests Of
the $4,000 miners employed in the
Zongouldak coal fields.
According to these laws the mine
owners shall in the future be obliged
to construct houses for their work
men, which shall conform to regul-
tions imposed by the Minister of
Public Health. 1t is understood that
these regulations require houses to
be constructed of concrete, stone or
brick, with wooden floors, and that
there shall be a sufficient number
of windows to meet hygienic require
ments. For each group or district
the mine owners will be required to
build a public bath and a mosque.
The law likewise provides for the
organization of evening schools for
the instruction of the workmen. as
well as the creation of a pension
fund to care for injured and aged
employees.
This is the first legislation in Tur-
key for the improvement of condi-
lions of the working class.

SONG OF LABOR

Come, listen, my wage-earning brother,
And learn why your troubles endure;
Don't think that kind Nature, your mother
Intends such as you to be poor.
On you lies the fault, if there's any;
Don't blame men like Morgan or Gould;
For how can the few rule the many
If the many refuse to be ruled?
AS long you kneel you'll be flouted
AS long as you're meek you'll meet scorn;
AS long as you fear, you'll be routed;
AS long as you yield, you'll be shorn
Through up and through downs stand together;
Be true to your leaders, like men;
When you're beaten don't show the white feather
But rally for battle again
Don't build up schemer's ambition;
Don't put a good man on the shelf:
Don't give to base politician
The vote you might cast for yourself
March forward with purposes blended;
And better be safe than too fast;
Some day the long strife will be ended
A unionzed nation at last

LITHUANIA A REPUBLIC
BY JAMES A. GALLIVAN
Congressman from Massachusetts
In La Follette's Magazine

Lithuana. on whose domain many
of the bloodest campaigns of the
World War We're waged. has received
little attention from the world at
large; her sufferings have received
scant sympathy and she has bandaged
her own wounds. Over the present
country of Lithuania, once the larg-
est State in Europe, extending from
the Black Sea to the Baltic. the armies
of Germany and Russia crossed and
recroSsed in that war. the German
frequently raiding the country to cap
ture cattle and the Russians counter
attacking to gain immediate results
for the moral effect elsewhere. For
centuries Lithuania has been in turn
the victim of the crushing oppression
of Russia and of Germany.
Her masters prevented the Lithu-
anian people from assembling at pub
lie functions. The Lithuanian Ian
gists to be the oldest living language
today, was prohibited in all the pub
lie establishments in Lithuania. and
it is not difficult to imagine how much
unhappiness and how much disorder
such administration brought into the
life of a people yearning to DE free
If we but recall that the reading Of
books written in Lithuanian was for
hidden until 1904. we will realize how
hard the struggle of these poor people
has always been. From 1864 to 1904
they were prohibited from printing
even a prayer book in their own lam
guage and in the Latin characters.
They We're prosecuted with uns peak
able severity for smuggling such pub
locations over the border: their child
rem were compelled to receive in
struction in a language that few of
them ever understandable are but
few Of the sufferings the Lithuanian
people have endured.
Although many of the European
nations have recognized the present
Lithuanian Government, the United
States of America has thus far ig-
nored that young Republic. On the
broad issue of determination
Lithuania measures up to every prin-
ciple enunciated by the worlds great
est statesmen when the recent war

But in the trial of the men who
now face the judge and jury it is
inevitable that Ibis soul goes march
ing on"
Meanwhile, the strike goes on,
strong and solid.
Meanwhile, also, coal owners talk
in Washington, telling a Congress
sional Committee their story-and
giving away important matters.
j. d. A. Morrow, vice president of
the National Coal Association, takes
the stand. He slips on a vital point
Morrow says that the price of soft
coal at the mines, in 1918, was $1.18.
In 1921 the price was 1904.
This is important. Wage Stats
tics are made on the basis of 1918.
The miners wages have increased
So per cent since 1918.
Bullock at Morrows figures
the price of coal has increased 1876
per cent!
Is that profiteering? What is it ?
With an increase of $50 per cent
wages, which have advanced but IS
per cent, be reduced
Mine owners lackeys flock through
the country, taking big pay, all paid
by those who burn coal, trying to
justify mine owners who run the
mining business in the most disorder
ly manner.
Mine owners cannot evade the fact
that they broke their contract and
forced the present suspension of
work
Neither can the government, which
sat in when the contract was made
evade the fact that it stood by and
allowed the contract to be broken.
A broken contract is the back
ground of the struggle. Faithless
men, pledge discarded!

was at its height. If the promises
these men made are not forgotten
Lithuania rests confident that her case
