Lincoln on the
Constitution.

The people are the rightful masters
of both Congress and the courts,-not
to overthrow the Constitution. but to
overthrow the men who pervert it.
Legislation and adjudication must fol-
low and conform to the progress of
society. Is it unreasonable to expect
that some man, possessed of the
Hottest genius coupled with ambition
sufficient to push it to the utmost
strength, will at some time spring up
among us? And when such one does,
it will require the people to be united
with each other, attached to the gov
eminent and laws, and generally in
telligent. to successfully Illustrate
his designs Lincoln.

A Victim of Monopoly.

L. D. Richards Of Fremont, Nebr.,
an old gentleman of rs years who
honors the Herald by reading our ed
itorial effusions at times, relates how
the money power and Wall street
pursued him for years, finally raising
the value of a homestead near Scrib-
ner, Nebr., from SIPS an acre to a
value of around 5000 an acre. In an
article compiled by Mr.. Richards for

Paternalism takes initiative and re-

BABY KILLED ON TRACK

JANESVILLE-Ma Aida Don
ner, the 15-months old baby daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Bonner, on the
Janesville-Beloit prairie road, was in
stantly killed Saturday when struck
by a northbound interurban car in
front of her home, just south of the
GAINESVILLE city limits. The child,
having learned 20 walk only week
ago, had slipped away quietly from her
older brothers and sisters at play, and
had made her way to the fence in
front of the home. There she crawled
through an opening and emerged from
the weeds by the side of the tracks
onto the nearest rail. Mrs. Bonner
had missed her baby moment be-
fore and had called to her other three
children to ask where she had gone.
AS they started to look, the trainman
coming back to see what they had
struck. Co. Coroner Whalev pronoun-
ced the death accidental.

Slaves Of Our Own Machines.

Lombrosi, the Italian savant-scien-
tist-philosopher states that modern
man, living in an industrial age, is a
slave of his own machines Machinery
he says, was developed to end drudg-
cry and release the human mind to
nobler activities. It's effect has been
to simply increase production. The
individual works faster and harder
and under greater strain. AS produc-
ton increases he wants more himself
because others have more. He works
harder and harder to increase his ig-
noble little pile of chattels until one
day he dies.

Radio. the DemOcratizer.

hdulOs JUt DeIlOCIdUlZcIs
Radio, with it's possibility of tax
ing the flower of the worlds enter
tainment into every mans living room,
is a great democratizer. 1t will rank
along with the printing press and
the moving picture as an influence TO
spread knowledge and entertainment.
The twin evils besetting all OF us are
ignorance and monotony. When the
art of printing from movable blocks
was developed the chains OF feudal-
ism were struck. Never again could
men totally enslave other men be-
cause by that invention darkness was
lifted from the human mind. And with
out our sensing it other inventions
have come into the world to add to
the influences which spread informa-
ton, knowledge and entertainment
generally and dispell ignorance and
monotony.
The usual tactics of the seller of
blue sky is to taunt a reluctant pros
pect with the accusation that he is
not a progressive" not sport" and
unwilling to take long chance and
give up his money. The rule applies
not only to personal but to public
matters.
The Supreme court of California
ruled, and we think unjustly, against
allowing the names of La Toilette
electors to go on the ballot. Citizens
should have the right to register their
choice, regardless of what that choice
is.
A man some people of his time re-
garded as an infide1 was largely re-
sponsible for the section on religious
freedom in the U. S. constitution.
Thomas Jefferson was "free think
err" One of the great band of "free
thinkers" who have kept the religious
partisans of the world from tearing
each others Threats out.
What would Gov. Blaine think, next
month, if the regular democrats and
the old-line republicans would prove
so numerous that Judge Lueck would
poll more votes than himself? With
any kind of effort this could happen.

"|PARLOR PlNKS" HERE, AID SOVIET.
 SAYS A. F. OFL.
Other Ways in Which Russian Red Propaganda Is Spread Recited
 in Circular.

Fifteen ways in which the Russian Soviet is said to have spread propa- ganda in America are described in cir | culars issued this week by the infor- nation bureau of the American Feder- ation of Labor These circulars, sent l broadcast by the International Labor News Service, which furnishes news l to American Federation of Labor publications, says:
 "When Tehitcherin, Soviet Foreign Minister, cab1ed his audacious note to President Coolidge he got his fingers pinched in the door which Secretary Hughes slammed with such admirable vigor.
 "The soviets then, with nerve enough but no sense, said they had conducted no propaganda in America and wanted to lay the whole question before commission of inquiry.
 "No inquiry is needed. Secretary Hughes showed his feeling by silence, properly. He proceeded to make pub agents in America, ordering organiza- in each group having rife practice weekly in military order so that be- fore long they might fly the red flag over the White House.
 If anybody wants facts about So- viet propaganda in the United States the facts are available. The soviets have talked too much. Their own re- cords tell the story. From the be- ginning they have made the American Federation of Labor the object of teir attack The plan has been and is to destroy the American Fedora tion of Labor as a condition prece- dent to destroying the American Re public and it's government In other words, get the A. F of L. first and then get the rest.
 International Labor News Service here presents summary of some of the facts about soviet propaganda in the United States, There are more facts available; these are sufficient to convict"
 The methods by which the Soviet Is said to have put forth it's propagan- da are listed as follows:
 Trade Union Educational League, Workers Party of America, Commu- mist partys Friends of Soviet Russia and ~foreign-languag organizations under various names.
 Miners international committee, so-called; official Communist publica-
  periodicals, which pretend to be mere 1y 'uplift' or literary; the Federated Press.
 "The parlor pinks, some rich in money, some merely rich in willing ness to be used.
 "A collection of writers, lecturers, preachers, teachers and officials look ing for popularity or something else.
 Secret agents who are understood to be 'semi-ofhcial spokesmen for the Soviets.
 American writers stationed in Moscow; the Young Workers League Communist, organized tol capture younger workers, completely under direction of Communist party, and the International Workers Re lief Committee, supposedly engaged in relief work for Soviets and Ger man Communists"

N a atiOnaliZatiOnO of Mines Also to Be Con- sidered Before Agree ment Expires on April 1.

Foundations of wage demands for the in the approaching negotiations between the United Hine Workers of Ameri- ca and the soft coal operators for a new agreement, will be the outstand- ing issue at the coming convention of union miners to be held in Indianap- oils, beginning January 22 National 1zation of mines, formation of a La bor party, recognition of Soviet Rus sia are among the points upon which the convention will have to act, The New York Herald is authoritavely informed. Whether the delegates will take an extreme or moderate ground with respect to the new wage contract will determine largely whether coal strike will be called on April I, when the agreement ends, or whether a peaceful solution will be found.
 What the demands will be is en- tirely in the hands of approximately I,8oo delegates elected by the local union in the bituninous districts throughout the United States, ritish Columbia, Nova Scotia and the dele gation from the anthracite region of eastern Pennsylvania.
 OOnenSuS rom the mlne HelQS ana from the resolutions that have been sent to the miners headquarters indi- cates that three major demands to come before the convention will be the following:
 A wage increase of approximately 10 to Is per cent over the present wage scale.
 Hours of employment to guarantee the miners steady work of at least six hours a day and five days a week in place of the present irregularity :.
 Technical changes in working con ditions.
 A draft of these proposals, support ed by the convention then will be turned over to a scale committe which will meet the coal operators in joint conference at Jacksonville, Fla, on February H.
 The convention is held at a time when the United Mine Workers of America IS in the strongest position 1t has ever been in the history. The reports of John L.. Lewis, president and William Green, secretary-treasur-l CT, will record an approximate mem bership of 55o,ooo, a we'll filled trea- sury and a series of victories since the convention two years ago.
 A controversy on which there isl likely to be strong division of opin- ion between the administration and the opposition forces will be over the of the Nationaliza-l

 The committee is composed of John

As the result of heated controversy over the pre- mature publication of the committees views on naturalization without wait ing for the sanction of the convention Mr. rophy resigned from the commit tee early last year and MT. Golden offered his resignation. It was gen. orally accepted that the radical view displayed in the report was not in line with the policy of the administration in the miners union.
 This report will come up for discus sion and approval at the convention. if provides for the purchase by the na- ton of the hard and soft coal mines for the sum of $4,5oo. .ooo, 900, and for a form of democratic controT of the industry similar to that advanced by the ritish miners The plan is com prehensive, including the methods of purchase, operation and control of the colleries. It .provides also for na- tionalization of the railroads as part of the program to protect the inter ests of the miners by bringing politi- cal influence to bear upon the Federal commission which will control the in dustry for the public.
 Wages would be a first charge against the industry, according to the plan as worked out by the National Research Committee in conjunction with the experts that were engaged to work out their proposals.
 Other controversial points that will come up at the convention will be at tempts on the part of radicals to se- cure the reinstatement of Alexander Howat, deposed leader of the Kansas miners and the lifting of suspension of the Nova Scotia district officials who called unauthorized strikes last summer.
 The opposition this year will not have the leaders of the important bi- luminous districts of Illinois and Pen sylvania with them, and facing the strongest administration the miners unions have ever had, are not expect ed to show much strength.
