HEIRLOOM HEROES.
DO THEIR STUFF

Federated Press STAFF correspondent) (
DETROIT. Sept. 17.-The Colonial
Danes and many other proxy patriots
participated in Detroit's Mobilization
day.
The most portentous feature Of the
day was the mobilization of 400 taxi
cabs and their drivers. Taxicabs,
popularity associated with expensive
pleasure, will apparently have new
and grim function in the next imper-
ialist war or in a future large-scale-
clash between workers and employers.
In the Mobilization day demonstration
in Detroit Sept. ~. the Yellow Cab
Co, the Checker Cab Co. and the
Brown e White Cab Co. contributed
about 400 cabs and drivers to the
5th army train maneuvers to SHOW
how 100000 men in Wayne county
could be modified hastily by means
of taxicabs and private cars" a
Methodist Pacifisn.
And in spite of the much-vaunted
Methodist pacihsm Rev. Russell II.
Bready, pastor of wealthy Methodi =
church here, stood shoulder to shout
der with Harold H. Emmons, president
of the board of commerce, while wav-
ing the flag and denouncing "un-Chris.
tian opponents of preparedness"
The board of commerce is more
afraid of organized labor than of the
British navy.
The rollcall of the organizations
that co-operated with the board of
commerce and the military forces in
the plans of the day makes man
wish there were an inheritance tax
on heirloom heroism and photograph
album patriotism, even until the third
OF fourth generation. Rattle the scab-

DEFENSE Day Was
ONE BIG FADEOUT
IN THE COUNTRY
Dallas Drizzle is Aid to
Fizzle

VINCENNES, Ind, Sept. 1.-THE
Defense parade at Vincennes was a
failure. Part of the veterans of the
several wars and four bands partici.
pated. The employees of some indus.
tries and school children were herded
in. The spectators were few. The
big feature was the advertisements
of the merchants.
DALLAS, Tex, Sept 1.-THE
weather man inflicted smashing
blow at the ambitious plans of the
militarists of this city for a big De.
Tense Day parade. One band, militia
men, school boys, three squads of cav
airy, several survivors of the civil
war, the Spanish-American war and
the great smash at democracy, with
few Red Crossers, camp fire girls and
boy scouts brayely faced the drizzle.
About hundred limousines, sedans
and curtained autos brot up the rear
with the camp followers and would.
be profiteers. There was no jam of
onlookers from the side-lines.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Defense day
furnished big street shows for New
York City with parades a n d
speeches. In the Engineering Socie-
ties building judge Ebert II. Gary re-
ceived messages from the war depart
ment for railroad cars and munitions
and relayed them out to his assistants
in an imaginary industrial mobiliza-
ton. But the factories themselves
went on working. No general patriotic
holiday for the workers.

AS WE S EE 1T
BY T. J. O'FLAHERTY.

there will never be another war. 1t
is something to be thankful for.
CIR ROBERT CAMPBELL has
- written a long letter to the Lon
don Times, stating his opinion that
no self-respecting Prime Minister
could live on the $4,000 year which
British premier receives. Either
the premier must have raise in pay,
or else there is nothing left for him
to do but accept graft, as Macdonald
did. OF course Sir Robert did not
even insinuate wrong doing on the
part of the present premier. The
view among the political lackeys of
capitalism, is that Ramsay's conduct
was perfectly proper and in good
taste. Some of them envy the amount
received by Macdonald but are not
willing to make any noise about it as
British politicians are even more
venal than the American species.
John WHEATLEY, Minister of
- Health, in the Macdonald cabi-
net, said Macdonald is the greatest
statesman in Europe. Mr.. Wheatley
made this statement at meeting in
Glasgow. Evidently Mr.. Wheatley
agrees with Sir Alexander Grant as
to MacDonald's worth. $135,0OO is
quite sum to pay for a premier,
even a first class specimen. If the
other friends" of MacDonald's boy
hood days are as generous as Sir
Grant, Macdonald will have nothing
to worry about even if he has to quit
Downing Street before Christmas.
He can pay visit to Albert B. Fall,
Robert P. Brindell and other great con.
tempories and have real good time,
away from the cares Of office.
