Human Simplicity

The life and deeds of Lincoln have
been analyzed so thoroughly from ev-
cry possible viewpoint that 1t is as
open as the printed pages of a book.
AT this date nothing can be added.
certainly nothing can be taken away
from that life. But whatever the

The first printed book on bookkeep-
ing was published In Venice In 1894.
The author was Luca Pacioli, an
italian monk, who wrote 1t in Latin
and Italian, originating many of the

and minus. The precious volume has
recently been presented to the Uni

No material memorial can honor
Lincoln. So far as the skill of human
hands translated into terms of perma-
nent beauty can do him honor. the last
word has been reached in the Lincoln
Memorial in Washington. Possibly one
other memorial, now well advanced,
may surpass even that-the Lincoln
highway across the continent
In the meantime, scores of wayside
shrines are going up. They mark the
spots hallowed by Lincoln's presence.

no railroads until about 1854. Be-

most his entire time to his profession

McAdoO 5 Innocence

Mr.. McAdoo made a desperate attempt be-
fore the Senate committee to save his face and
political future. The very case put in by Mr..
McAdoo for himself is the best evidence that
he is done for in so far as the working and
farming masses in this country are concerned.
Mr.. McAdoo innocently pretended to boast
about his connections with Doheny before the
oil exposure. Everyone will take this plea of
McAdoo with grain of salt. Mr.. McAdoo has
been long enough in politics and has been asso-
ciated in big business to know good deal of
Doheny's relations with the government, even
before Senator Walsh revealed them. The
fact that McAdoo told the Senate Committee
that Doheny's reputation was once enviable,
condemns this white hope of the democratic
party in the eyes of the masses. Doheny has
for many years been instrumental in machina-
tions to throw this country into war with
Mexico in order to enable the oil capitalists
and the other big American investors to pile
up fabulous profits.
Mr.. McAdoo's dealings with Doheny and his
services to the Oil Barons, were closed book
to the great mass of voters to whom McAdoo
has continually appealed for support. Not
until he was caught red handed serving Do
heny in these imperialistic ventures and not
until his political career was endangered did
Mr.. McAdoo even hint of receiving any money
from Doheny for miscellaneous services
rendered.
The protestations of McAdoo and his des-
perate empty boasts regarding Dohenys erst-
while record are the best proof of the dollar
and cents service engaged in by the capitalist
politicians of all stripes. McAdoo's innocence
never was His political career and the last
vestige OF his pretense at such political purity
have been buried by his own testimony to the
Senate Committee.

Collecting the War Debts

The government is at last making half
hearted effort to secure the payment of some
of the gigantic war debts due this country
from the imperialists of France and Italy.
We do not put any stock in this request of
our Treasury Department. The imperialist
governments of Europe owe this country more
than $7,000,000,00O. 1t was only after pres
sure was brought to bear on the Administra-
tion in the Senate that this empty gesture at
collecting these billions paid by the working
class of this country to enable the European
imperialists to wage the world war was made
This attempt at reminding the European
capitalist governments of their debt to this
country is very instructive to the workers.
These governments have never made any effort
to repay this debt At the same time they
have paid their debts to private American
capitalists, squandered hundreds of millions
of dollars on the maintenance of huge armies
and navies and spent fabulous sums in sup
pressing the workers and farmers Of their
countries. Tho they did not pay this debt
owed the United States our government has
recognized them and accorded them every
privilege that complete diplomatic recognition
involves.
With Russia, however, the situation was
totally different. All in all, Russia owes the
United States about $3.50, 100000. A good
deal of this debt was contracted by the Keren-
sky government and his imperialist agents to
finance counter-revolutionary wars, campaigns
of assassination and sabotage against the Rus
sian masses. One of the supposed reasons for
the Administrators failure to recognize Rus
sia has been the fact that Russia has done
precisely what other European countries have
been doing-it has not paid the American gov
ernments claims
Why the United States recognizes France
when it refused to pay its debt and at the same
time denies recognition to Soviet Russia when
it seeks to negotiate about paying debts which
it never even contracted, is no mystery to us.
France is an imperialist government, serving
the capitalist class. The United States is the
same sort of government. Soviet Russia is
governed by the workers and farmers and has
definitely decided to uproot capitalism. It is
only in this difference of class control of the
governments and industries of these countries
that the difference in politics pursued by the
United States towards the Soviet Republic and
France lies.
The reminder Of the State Department re-
garding the payment of debt just sent to
France and Italy is only reminder of the dis
honest, hypocritical employing class policy
pursued by the United States government to-
wards Soviet Russia.

The Starvation Cure

Clad in palm beach suit in sunny Jackson
Vile Florida, John L. Lewis yesterday told the
committee of coal operators that there were
too many mines and too many miners; that
many mines must close and thousands of min
ers leave the industry before it could get
back to normal"
In other words, the work of the coal miners
is so productive that thousands of them are no
longer necessary.
Apply this Lewis solution to industry as a
whole and it means that increased production
on the part of the workers condemns some
millions of them to death by starvation.
This is the carefully considered plan for re-
lief of unemployment in the coal mining indus
try put forward by the leader lauded by the
employers as "sane and constructive" Is 1t
any wonder they approve of the acts and utter
ances of a labor official, who endorses their
own method of ridding themselves of the sur
plus workers?
John L. Lewis has been instructed by con-
vention after convention to work for the
naturalization of the mines, the six-hour day
and the fve-day week
The adoption of these proposals would put
the unemployed miners to work and open up
the idle mines, but it would cost the coal op-
orators something and so John L. Lewis has
sabotaged this program.
The four year agreement, advocated by
Lewis, and which the operators will probably
accept, is intended to result in weeding-out
of 150,O 900 to 100000 miners. They will go to
swell the ranks of the unemployed or compete
with other workers in other industries.
The Workers Party members in the United
Mine Workers are going to continue tie fight
for naturalization the six-hour day and the
five-day week. In this fight every intelligent
and honest coal miner is with them and John
L. Lewis and his payrollers will find that the
approval of the operators for his proposal to
drive one-third of the union men out of the
industry will not help him a greaA deal.
