THE PEOPLE AND THEIR LAWS

This paper recently published an editorial which took the position that the people are masters of their laws that they make them through their representatives and enforce them thru their officials. Last week an incl dent occurred in Pennsylvania court which shows that the people some times fail to do their part in asserting mastery of their own laws.
 A man was on trial charged with murder The evidence against him was conclusive. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty of the crime" Re minded by the judge that such yer dict was illegal, that the accused must be guilty of first, second, or third de- gree murder, the jury next reported, guilty in the first degree with rec ommendation of clemency by the court Again instructed that such a verdict was illegal the jury finally rendered verdict of "guilty of mur- der in the second degree"
 The people through their represen- tatiyes made the laws respecting mur- der and fixed the penalties therefor. Under the laws the jury was duty bound to find verdict according to law and the evidence, which if in the first degree would have sent the ac- cused to the electric chair. Evidently the jury, perhaps opposed to the death penalty or perchance for some other reason, hesitated to carry out the law, preferring to let the law be master ot them rather than to be masters ot the law. When men sworn to exc cute the law fail to execute 1t, how can they remain masters of it?
 The people must do their part in the execution of law, if the law has force and effect-this is in substance what the judge told the jury. If they do not do their part, they have no cause of complaint if justice miscarries and society suffers. People are masters of their laws only when they apply the laws as they should be applied.

FRIEDRICHSHAVEN, Nov. IA ZR3, the dirigible balloon that is due to make another trip from her hang CT in New Jersey, has been given more space in the German newspapers, than any other. The fact that she was built under the treaty of Versailles for the United States government, ac- counts for this.
 Another Zeppelin dirigible, the Bo- den-See, acquired considerable fame after the war. This ship made 1O3 successful flights, travelled 34,00O or more miles, carried more than 2,60O passengers, and was eventually turn ed over to Italy

JAP GOLDEN WATER
 WELL IS DRYING UP

TOXIC Nov 14.-The Golden Water We'll is drying up.
 Such is a recent report that states this is the first time the famous well in the compound of the Imperial pal ace has dried up since the establish ment of the Edo castle on the site.
 Dr. Fujiwara, of the weather bu- reau here, has investigated the well, but is unable to explain the phenome- non. He says that it may be the re- suit of change in the soil since the September earthquake, or else maybe some sinister foreboding.
 There always has been mystery con- nected with it, for the water there is colder than in any other we'll in Tokto. It is so cold that it is impossible for one to keep his hands in it for longer than a minute at time. And during the worst droughts in past times there has always been water in the we'll.
 The drying up of the Golden Water We'll has served to direct the atten- tion of experts to another mystery connected with the palace.
 In the castle tower are wind holes through which a cold wind is always blowing at high speed. Many experts of the weather bureau have investi- gated them, it is said, but have not been able to understand the low tenn perature nor the velocity of the wind.
 Science at it's present stage of de- said Dr. Fujiwara, "is utterly at loss to find a reason for such a phenomenon"
 Even in dog days, he says, the mer- cury does not register more than 51 degrees.

Coal Digger Leaps
To Death In Mine
AS Job Hunt Failed

DIVERNON, Ill, July 1S.-Suffer-
ing caused by unprecedented unem-
ployment in the Illinois coal field was
horribly expressed at Divernon July
IA when Joe Ldpski, 44-year-old coal
digger threw himself down the 365
feet shaft Of the Madison Coal Co. s
mine which has been closed for near
ly five months. Every bone was brok-
en- in the lifeless mass Of broken flesh
that was picked up at the bottom of
the shaft by watchmen who saw the
suicide.
Lipskis jump to death was the eli
max to a three months unsuccessful
search for work in the over-crowded
mines and factories of Illinois. He
was a member Of the United Mine
Workers of America and had resided
here for IS years.

of the rich because there will be more
money for investment in productive

Some Wise Words by
Poor Boob of an Earl
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TODAY, Archibald Kennedy Earl of KasslIs First Grand
Principal of the Supreme Chapter of Royal Arch Masons
of Scotland, passed thru Chicago.
That has little significance workers; more than
the fact that he accompanied his way Toronto
Canada by his WIFE, the Countess Frances and her sister,
Miss S. B. Stewart.
Workers. who are forced to remain on their Jobs these
hot summer days. may be little interested in the
additional fact that the Earl and his encourage the
lap of their round-the-wod tour. Workers are not
allowed to take World If they did,
Ears and the Counteses would stave to DEATH what
probably worse for the they would be compelled TO
work.
But there something that the Earl said that gives
little distinction to his stopover in Chicago The Scotch
Earl loyal lingo Of the British Empire, is Of anti
German He therefore, thought he saying something
worth while when he attacked Germanys reputed poverty
He said:
hotels and spending money avsh There may be many poverty
also wealthy THE CON-
DTIoN OF THE FORMER ARE PROBABLY THE FAULT OF THE
LATTER"
Perhaps that is Scotch Joke. If it is the Earl may
wake up day to find himself the butt of it. The Earl
talks assf he expected to meet hungry, jobess German
workers travelling around over the world Seeing the
Sights empty stomach sleeping in the parks, doubt
and travelling blind baggage stowaway Somebody ought
to tell the Earl that the poverty stricken workers in Ger
many right at home in the sums of the great German
industrial centers, just the poverty stricken England
France Italy, the United States any other capitalist
try to be found always in their oWy surroundings
fearing to show themselves where riches make their
show.
But the boob Earl didn't realize that he was hitting
away the pillars Of the whole capitalist social
when he declared that the condition poor due to
the rule of the rich; only in Germany but everywhere
especially in his Great Britain.
The British capitalists among the first to make
support of the German capitalists for the pu
pose of keeping the hungry and disconnected workers of
both nations in chains. British bankers and ndustrasts
just anxious the French capitalist Loucheur,
aid Shines and his German bandit keep the poverty
stricken of Germany in chains.
The poor fool of an Earl learned very little his
"Round Tour he didn't discover that poverty
and riches" is condition that exists in every land he
visited.
OF course, he didn't go to Soviet Russia The First
Workers Republic is comfortable place for Earl
go visiting He would there find everywhere the signs of
the passing of his cassthe passing of poverty and
riches And the phenomena will come to pass in
Germany Great Britain and everywhere else the
workers decide to seize all and rule in place of the
Princes, the EarIs the Counts and all their aceys That
would be tough the Scotch Earl Archibald and all his
kind
Truly the workers could then put spirit into para
phrasng the Ears words by saying that Our cond
tion due to the change in yours, and, I'VE like the
change, and going to make you like it,

In every society which is divided

ruled, penal law has been princi-
pally constituted according to
the will of the former"
$4,000, ooo,o 900 Wasted.
The fact that a considerable portion
Of the community is waging constant
warfare against the existing social or
der, is damning indictment against
the efficacy of that social order. To
what extent this warfare has been car
ried on thruout the year is shown by
the following facts given by Mr..
Haskin:
Criminality has cost the ruling
classes at least $10,O0O,0O0,O0O annual
ly or from IA to 16 per cent of the
total annual income. From $4,000 ,000,-
600 to S4,OOOOO0,0OO is spent for the
detection, prosecution, punishment
and prevention of crime. From two to
three-ffths of the total loss is due to
economic crimes estimated at $4,000
100000 fraudulent speculative enter
prises running from $4,000 100000 to
$3,OOO,O 100000; burglary $525,OOO,O0O
embezzlement, $125,OOO, 900; forgeries,
5000, 100000 bad debts, $15,000,00O;
bankruptcies, S4OO,OO0,OOO; political
graft, $2O0,OO0,000
Expensive Unemployment.
The fact that a million people are
not usefully employed, means a
productive loss to society Of $780,
600 900. The "crintfnality" of woman
seems to grow as she gains greater
economic independence. AS the strug-
gle for existence becomes more diff
ficult, crimes against property in
crease. The largest number of Grim
inals come from the poorest classes.
If this enormous waste of human
energy and productivity is ever to be
saved for society, and If this million
Of so-called Criminals" are to be
spared their present degradation, it
will be when the workers of the world
take over the means Of production,
eliminate poverty and re-organize so
ciety for use rather than profit.
