the Citizens Alliance Committee in
Minneapolis and with the Ku-KluX
Khan raising it's ugly head again to
crush the rights of free people, it
becomes the solemn duty of every
editor, writer and speaker through
out the country to fight more than
ever for the freedom for which our
forefathers laid down their lives.
What is this holy of holes, this
capitalism that can not be attacked
or criticised? Is it not form OF
society based on profits and the eX-
ploitation and oppression Of the
masses? Has not the basic princi-
pie upon which capitalists developed
the industries of our country been
the increasing of their personal
wealth?
Now, in the last phase of capital
ism, since profits are not rolling in,
because of the loss of foreign mar
kets and many other reasons, these
same capitalists who used our de-
mocracy, our masses and their votes
when they needed them either have
shut the doors of their industries in
the workers faces or else pay them
such starvation wages that they
must keep striking continuously to
get another crumb from the big
bosses.

DRUNKEN FIGURES

DEETS PICKETT, who keeps the name OF
- the Methodist Board of Temperance,
Prohibition and Public Morals in the press
has corralled statistics from 1872 cities.
They show, according to Mr.. Pickett's
ANALYSIS. that arrests for drunkenness in the
first three months of 1884 were greater by
81 SO per cent than in the first three months
of 1888, implying that such is the harvest of
repeal. A similar, though smaller increase is
noted in arrests for driving while drunk.
The squirt started, Mr.. Pickett indicates,
when beer was legalized, and his figures do
show a sharp increase in arrests in the first
three months of beer as compared to the last
three months of peerless prohibition.
There is no adequate answer to Mr.. Pick
ett's charges, and none will deny that he is
doing a public service in calling attention to
this disconcerting trend toward greater intern
perance Perhaps he has found partial an
swer in noting that the trend has been less
marked in states that have more stringent
liquor control laws.
But Mr.. Picketts own figures do not sup
port the impression he obviously is trying to
way to curb intemperance.
In practically all of the 1872 cities cited, the
average monthly arrests for drunkenness in
creased sharply during the prohibition era.
Here are few of the most fragrant COMPARE
sons in average monthly arrests for drunken
ness in 1920, at the start of prohibition, and in
the first three months of 1885, near the end of
prohibition: Baltimore, 149-1,5O6 Cleveland,
249-2215 Washington, D. c., 297-1,302; Los
Angeles. 279-2, O8S; Pittsburgh, 79S-2O15. So
much for prohibitions contribution to intem-
perance.
Another weakness in Mr. Picketts analysis
is his failure to mention that there are many
factors entering into the number of arrests,
such as the energy of the police which in turn
is influenced by public opinion.
One thing is certain: Since repeal, there
has been marked growth of public intoler-
ance for public drunkenness and, especially,
for drunken driving. That is one kind of in
tolerance that needs to be encouraged. And
Mr.. Pickett deserves praise for tanning it.

CHIEF OF THE ISLANDS

Tor fifteen years DR.. Ernest Gruening has
been a leader in the fight against Ameri-
can imperialism. Now he is to head the new
governmental agency which will try to sup
plant the old Imperialism with territorial
democracy. President Roosevelt could not
have picked better man for director of the
division of territories and island possessions.
From his profession as an editor of news
papers and magazines, Gruenng knows
American public opinion. AS a scholar he is
a recognized authority on Caribbean and
foreign affairs. And in his capacity as
adviser to State Secretary Hull and the
American delegation at the Montevideo con-
ference he demonstrated his ability in prac-
teal diplomacy and craftsmanship.
The fact that the President has chosen an
administrator of DR.. Gruening's caliber and
views doubtless will be accepted by the
peoples of Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands as reassuring evidence that
the New Deal extends beyond the mainland.

SPREADING EMPLOYMENT

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELTS executive order
revising the cotton garment code to
shorten the work week from forty to thirty
six hours is encouraging evidence of renewed
life in the NRA drive to spread employment in
private industry.
It is the second step in the governments
effort to achieve stability in the important cot
ton industry. following right on the heels of the
order pegging the farm price of raw cotton at
q cents. Within a week. the President will try
to prevent a breakdown in another part of the
cotton industry probably by mediating the
threat of a national strike of textile workers.
When the forty-hour week was adopted,
certain cotton garment manufacturers pre-
dicted there would be a shortage Of labor. But
after long trial period it was found that
there had been almost no increase in employ
ment. Then followed an extended hearing, one
Of the amazing features Of which was the APP
pearance Of a number OF congressman in be-
half of certain manufacturers whose shops
we're located in small towns. 1t was usually
the smaIl-town manufacturer who paid sweat
shop wages of IS to 81 a week before the orig
inal code raised the minimum to S13.
Long deliberations following the hearing re-
suited finally in the order shortening the work
week. This brings the labor provisions of the
cotton garment code more into line with those
in the original codes Of the other needework
industries.
So the revision in the garment code neither
was precipitate nor revolutionary. The net re-
suit viii be to maintain the present scale of
actual weekly wages. and by shorter hours to
give employment to about 10000 more workers.
It should not cause an increase of more than
? per cent on the price the consumer will pay
for the finished goods.
Some observers have been proclaiming the
disintegration of NRA. But Sidney Hillman,
president Of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers Of America, IS cheered greatly by revision
Of the cotton garment code.
1t shows the Blue Eagle to be a living
symbol Of a real New Deal. in which the in
terests OF the workers are given equal consider
alton along with all the other factors in in
dustry." said MI Hillman. 1t also shows that
codes of fair competition are not rigid instru-
ments which freeze conditions at a certain
point. but are, instead, active adjustable laws
Tor industry. which can be revised readily when
It is found out that they do not serve the end
to which they are directed. This is, indeed
a new type Of legislation and a new approach
to real economic democracy"

JUSTICE HOLMES ON STRIKES

MOT in years. if ever before. have labor
~ strikes been so important to everyday
America.
Out Of Section IA Of the national re-
covery act. with its federal sanction Of the
right OF labor 10 organize and bargain COL
lectively. and out Of the fact that some busi-
ness is improving have grown unusual labor
controversies. many Of which have reached
the strike stage.
Before Section IA was written into the
law. before capital was permitted TO escape
the pressure OF the antitrust laws, Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote Of labor organ
fzations and strikes.
In the light OF present labor controversies
and the opposition TO granting labor its
rights under Section IA. 1t is important to
read again the words Of Mr.. Justice Holmes
IN his dissenting opinion in "Coppage VS..
Kansas" he said:
In present conditions a workman not IN
naturally may believe that only by belonging
70 a union can he secure a contract that shall
be fair % him. II that belief. whether
right OF wrong. may be held BY reasonable
man, it seems 10 me that it may be enforced

beans bread and butter, oranges, apples and
cheese.
In addition. thousands of tons Of coal have
been distributed. and huge quantities of sur
plus cotton have been woven into blankets for
the unemployed. Millions of bushels of wheat,
corn, oats, and barley have been given to farm
ers in the drought areas for starving livestock.
Distributing all these things has been very
costly, Of course. But it also must have pre-
vented an appalling amount of human misery.

AN EXAMPLE FOR AMERICA

TRAFFIC authorities in London have is
sued a new rule. providing that no auto
mobile horns may be sounded anywhere in the
city at night. The period of silence will last,
approximately, from II p. m. to or in the
morning; during that time the sleep of Lon
doners will be protected. and rowing traffic
cops will crack down on any driver who touches
his klaxon button.
Any one who has lost sleep-and who
hasnt?-because some goof Of a motorist is
unable TO proceed two blocks without sound
ing his horn Justify, will approve of this reg
ulation. The average motorist uses his horn
far too much.
Indeed. traffic might be good deal safer if
drivers generally made a practice Of using their
brakes instead Of their horns when they saw
some person or vehicle in the right Of way
ahead of them.

BY law in order to establish the equality Of
positions between the parties in which lib
erty Of contract begins =. :"
Section IA is an effort to establish that
equality.
In "vegelahn vs.. Guntner. ct al" when he
was on the Massachusetts, bench, Mr.. Justice
Holmes wrote:

is patent and powerful. Combination on the
other is the necessary and desirable counter
part, If the battle is to be carried on in
fair and equal way.
IF it be true that workingmen may COM

as much as they can for their labors. just as
capital may combine with view to getting
the greatest possible return it must be true

liberty that combined capital has, to support

THURSDAY. AUG. q, 1894.
ONLY ONE ANSWER

THE only real fact that has developed from
the escape Of Willie Mason. alleged killer.
from the Hamilton county jail is that he and
three Of his four prisoner pals successfully have
fled the limits Of Noblesville and Hamilton
county.
Certainly the explanations Of authorities OF
Hamilton and Marion counties can not be
classified as facts. Sheriff Hattery Of Mobiles
vile insists that he pleaded to have Mason
transferred. while authorities here claim the
sheriff not only wanted TO retain Mason IN
hts custody but also wanted to have Ernest
CRedJ Giberson. another member Of Masons
gang. returned.
Oiberson was the first Of the alleged slay-
ers Of Police Sergeant Lester Jones 70 escape
from the county jail He was captured several
weeks later IN Cincinnati after a walkout in
mid-afternoon that did not even excite the
curiosity Of passersby.
The penal institution situation in Indiana
is taking on the appearance Of frst-class
farce.
II is silly for the taxpayers Of this state to
pay law enforcement agents to capture alleged
outlaws and for various counties to room and
board" them in jail unless something besides
escape results.
Charges and differences that the Democratic
or Republican party is to blame for the in
creasing prison and Jail escapes absolutely are
without foundation.
The real answer to the situation rests, not
with political bosses. but with the people. The
people vote and it is up to the voting public
to see that politics is taken out of penology
in Indiana, that civil service is put into effect
in the law enforcement agencies and that
competent, capable men are placed in charge of
penal institutions.
There is no other answer. The trail of err
ror begins and ends at the polls.

CHALLENGES ROBINSON
ON CONSTITUTION
BY Fl. Springer.

By H. Springer.
To all appearances, the voice Of
the PhariseeS is again raising a
clamor at Wawasee.
While we are on the subject OF
the Constitution, Senator Robinson,
refer you to Article 2, Section 8.
The President acted within his
rights as far as I can see, and con-
gress knew that it had to do some
thing in the crisis which is still
with us.
Do you claim Senator Long Of
Louisiana as your partner as he
claims you? If you are fearful that
the Constitution is being wrecked,
why not start an investigation Of
Senator Longs activities? He is Vi
olating Articles l and 4 OF amend
ments to the Constitution.
What the PhariSeeS really fear IS
a social reform in government that
will benefit all of the people in
stead of a privileged few.
It is time for the voter to relegate
these so-called rugged individuals
to the scrap heap.

Culture is an intangible some
thing hidden unconsciouSly, yet,
when discovered, it is outstandingly
noticeable. When We find the soft
sheen of it's outcropping, we are
made to feel that somewhere, some
place is the mother lode Of spiritual
richness.
Does culture thrive in poverty's

there. Goodness, in poverty, Is COM

enriched as it is in culture, is found
only in the high places.

DOUBTS DEATH PENALTY
DECREASES CRIME

BY B. r. o.
EX-G Governor Leslie, in a recent
article, deplored the use of capital
punishment, but feels it is necessary
to control criminals. He mentions
a case in which a convict killed
a warden or guard in prison in
a state which does not have capital
punishment. The convict was al
ready in for life, the maximum
sentence, so what further punish
ment could be meted out to him?
But are not guards sometimes
killed in prisons in states which
do have capital punishment?
The two persons in this country
who probably know most about
criminals, Warden Lawes Of Sing
Sing and Clarence Darrow, do not
believe in capital punishment.
Would this mean anything to Mr.
Leslie? Warden Lawes says it
doesn't work. Indiana has capital
punishment. Did that serve her
from producing one of the most
desperate criminals of modern
times?
Does not the custom of state
taking life rather tend to make life
cheaper, and can criminals be
blamed if they accept to some ex-
tent the states cheap estimate OF
life?
People somehow feel that severity
of punishment deters crime. Elk
perts say it does not. 1t is certainty
of sentence that lowers the crime
rate. If a criminal knows that he
will be taken out Of circulation, he
may think twice. But if he feels,
as statistics prove, that there is only
one chance in ten that he will be
sentenced, and far fewer chances
that he will die, he will take the
chance. His gambling instinct is
appealed to, you see.
The retention of capital punish
ment will not deter crime so long
as this gambling element remains.
And it will not be an instrument of
Justice so long as one poor devil out
of a hundred who commits a capital
offense suffers thus, and the rest.
because Of a better lawyer, money
or influence, get lighter sentences or
60 free. Rather intelligent men look
upon capital punishment as an in
strument Of injustice.

FATALITY
BY ELLEN BETTY

BY ELLEN BETTY
I wrapped my heart in a song,
I sang it far and wide;
But nobody listened, nobody heard,
And my heart was weary at even
tide.
The door Of your love stood ajar,
My heart crept close to your flame,
And my heart was burned to a pale,
white ash
When morning came.
You swept your hearth with care
less stroke;
The powdery ashes flew
That you were sweeping a heart
away
You never knew!
