PmmM Labor Enlists!
' WiH the Call to Duty
ffltoee Alain, Mr. Bugler!
n will b* MObIM that William Jen-
Bryan declared a short time ago
iK if it became necessary for the
feted States to issue s call to the col*
an an army of 1,000,000 volunteers
could be raised over night.
In this speech Bryan evidenced his
faith in the patriotism of Americans de
spite his conviction that patriotic Am
ericana are first for peace and for ?very
step that will make for peace and pre
vent war before they arc for war
Bryan’s declaration answers the pre
paredness alarmist,- who assert that the
United States is in danger of invasion
every moment until we have emulated
Germany and Prussianised ourselves by
establishing compulsory military service.
Bryan places his faith in an underly
ing spirit.
The preparedness supporters place
their faith in an outward show of mus
ketry.
Bryan's position is supported in most
substantial manner by the action of the
•ateutive council of the American F ed
sration of Labor in pledging the support
to the government of 3,000,000 orjran
issd workers, whether in peace or in
war.
A declaration of principles adopted un
animoualy expresses the hope that peace
may be maintained, but should the
Vailed States be drawn into war, the
services of labor are offered “in every
fifli of activity.”
ShuuKsneoualy. 400,000 railroad

peota on strike to gain their demand?

Ike event of war, they would resume

sustained in his position that a nation
that is first for peace is not necessarily
a nation of “spineless coward?” or "trait

Ho fsrtuiM among the thousands of
IMumm that profits out of war in Eu-
Mp» haws made, has yet been wheeled up
to the White House and left there for
Mtt country’s use when needed.
The laborer among these 3.000,000 of
fill ml men offers all that he has to
to ghre, whether his country demands
the sweat of his brow or the blood from
his veins.
He offers that which is supposed to
be dearer than sll else to any man—his
life.
Has any sudden millionaire in our
jingo dasa. whose fortune has been de
rived from munitions profits, left his
check signed in blank in any recruiting
office with instructions to enlist it in the
aprvioe?
If early settlement of the war and
glace, and after that, world peace, needs
the entrance of the United States, not
CM American life need be lost.
To sand men into that fray would ac
compliah nothing, except to add to civili
nation’s blushes.
What and ALL that the United States
Ohould send forward is its deadliest
weapon —the very deadliest weapon that
eonld be introduced into this war—

Hooey would represent the balance of
power right at this moment, on either
side of the fighting that is all but bank

The sending of MEN would mean only
to fsw more upon the piles of crumbling

Mthere.

Whose Influence Should
Be Felt In Washington,
The Boss or the Farmer’s?
One would think that the .farmers
would have more influence with the ad
ministration than the Sullivans, Murphys
and Taggarts.
The farmers elected Wilson.
What did the bosses do?
There is a zone of Wilson defeat around
each of them. The breath of Murphy
killed Wilson so that one has to cross
three states in traveling from New York
city to u region of democratic success.
Roger Sullivan's baleful influence is
seen in the great Hughes desert of which
Illinois is the center and Chicago the
nucleus.
Truly, one would think that the farm
ers would have more to say in this ad
ministration than the bosses.
Whether or not this is true may be
proven by the fate of Carl V room an. as
sistant secretary of agriculture.
It has been supposed that he was go
ing into the next cabinet.
But, two years ago. he boldly cam
paigned against Roger Sullivan, and Sul
livan is against him.
It is a fight in the secret passages of
politics.
Who will win. the farmers who are for
Vrooman, or Roger Sullivan, who is
against him ?
Let us wait a little and see.

BV OR FRANK CRANfi
(Copyright, l»li. by Frank Craft*)
On the fourteenth of February, 1917,
Mr. Robinson introduced in the United
States senate a resolution “that a cordial
invitation be extended to members of
the national legislative bodies of the
various nations of the world to assem
ble in the United States at such time
and place as congress may hereafter
specify, and that the sum of $600,000
be appropriated for the promotion of
peace and for a hospitality fund.” Thia
meeting would be “to promote peace and
good will thruout the world.”
\ou have not read much about thia
in the papers, have you?
On the contrary we have column after
column upon the need of more guns,
more ships universal conscription, gat*

Why not "put first things first?”
Preparedness to protect the nghta of
American seamen is proper. W’e are all
solidly behind our government in what
ever measure* it takes to see that our
citizens arc not murdered on the high
seas or elsewhere.
But. important as it is to defend our
honor and stand up for our rights, that
is not so important as something else,
to-wit, namely:
To police the world, to substitute in
ternational law for anarchy, to organize
the nations so as to reduce the enor
mous blood and money tax of excessive
armaments, and to prevent the recur
rence of such a calamity as now dark
ens the human race.
To establish law in my community ia
more my duty than to defend my own
private rights.
And to establish law among the
world’s nations is more vital than to pro
tect any one nation’s honor.
The honor and peace of all come be
fore the honor of any one.
Georg Brandes. the noted critic, and
one of the most prominent neutrals of
Europe, wrote, in a recent number of the
American-Scandinavian Review:
“If prominent men and women in all
parts of the world would cease their
everlasting discussion as to who is re
sponsible for the war, and upon whom
the pumahment should fall, and would
concentrate their efforts on solving the
only real and vital question, that of find
ing a way out of this hell, to which the
words of Macbeth may truly be applied:
M *Ob. horror, horror, horror! Ton*ue nor bran
Cannot roncHra nor name the#!'
If America is to enter into world poli
tics shall she enter merely because some
one in the general melee has stepped on
her toes, or shall it be as the protagonist
of a great principle, the advocate and
propagandist of her own historic idea,
the idea of federation?
Why should not we urge the world to
take up that same cry that has guided
and saved us? It’s as good £ world cry
as an American cry:
“The Union, one and inseparable, now
and forever.”
If we are eager to spend $600,000,000
to get into wsr to save ourselves, should
we not be willing to spend $600,000 in
an effort to save humanity ?
