THE I. W. W.'s HEATED SEASON (Minneapolis Tribunte) One might almost believe that the I W W members are getting them- selves disliked in these parts In polite circles the manner in which hate are being handed to them would be called rude. Books on etiquette are shy of formulae as to accepted methods in the application of boots to speed a parting guest, but the emphasis on the procedure this season smacks somewhat of uncouthness. A sharp "Move on!" always is more or less Inelegant and suggestive of churlishness, and to keep kickin' things 'round and 'round is quite a frank form of Incivility. We should say that some of our northwestern citizens who have rights that they think others, Including the I. W. W., should respect, are not so polished as they might be in defense of those rights. They incline to a surliness to which they are not accustomed when dealing with the "I work for Wilhelm" contingent of society. 8ome of them are prone to impetuosity, some to inward turbulence, some to unwonted inconsiderate- ness and some to a kind of inclemency. Few go after the objective in what might be called good form. There is a certain lack of Ceremony and courtliness, and there remains something to be imagined, if not de- aired, in refinement, In chivalry, in geniality and in serenity of spirit. Somebody may yet give us a standard work on the proper rules of the game in dealing with the itinerant exponent of sabotage. Until then it is quite probable that programs of ways and means will vary widely. Bemidji seems to prefer the vulgar boot, the outgoing "freight" and the defensive shotgun and other things like that. The governor of Michigan lets the details of action largely to the imagination, simply enjoining hi* fellow citizens to get the I W W out of the mines, out of the commu- nities and out of the state Otherwise his welcome is cordial. The farm- ers of North and South Dakota decline to have any traffic with them, but will be ready with gunspossibly ropes, who knows7to they raise by the sweat of their brows Verily, it looks like a "rough- houBe" heated season for the I W W.'s APOTHEOSIZING DISLOYALTY Sunday, June 3, was the anniversary of Jefferson Davis* birth. That day found the United Confederate Veterans in session at the capital of the nation they had tried to disrupt. They had a memorial service at historic Arlington, the wonderfully beautiful resting place of so many nameless Union dead. The young men training at Fort Meyer were turned out to parade in honor of the butternut boys. The president of the United States went over to betoken his respect. Southern oraton made melodious speechesand the treason of a half century ago was glorified. The same day the Department of Justice ordered the arrest of men and women in different parts of the country for attempting to ham- per registration and to resist the draft We wonder if these latter-day traitors will come to their own as the years roll by, if they will have their day when men who wear the uniform of the nation will parade in their honor, when a president will grace the occasion and when orators will ex- tol them as having been "right" and as having no apologies We wonder HOOVER, WOMEN AND THE WAR If this war is to be won on the basis of food, then it will be won through the efforts of the women of America Hoover says "If they do this job well, and I have every confidence that they will do it well, they deserve the vote as soon as the present crisis has passed The women honor and appreciate Mr Hoover, but venture to correct nis statement. If it is a question of "deserving" then "NOW" is the time. There has never been a time of stress in this nation's history when the women haven't done whatever "job" was assigned to them to the last lota of their strength and ability We were also among those who believed that the difference between a soldier and a woman was that one faced the powder while the other powdered the face. But we've changed our mind since those Russian women organized a fighting unit and went into the trenches of Russia to battle for their country. Again, we remark, Uncle Sam is slow at starting, but he pushes the breeze and kicks up the dust and raises hum*hum when he dues get to going. The cost of everything is still soaring, and congress Is still twaddling, and the speculating sharks arc still sucking the wans Bleed of the nation. Tss, the slackers are getting three meals a day from the wardens and cussing* from the rest of the prisons**. Occasionally, through charity, we permit Senor Carransa to squeeze a word or two onto an obscure page. The circumference of the earth is said to be 25,090,000 miles. Who'll join us in a hike?
