The "battle of the machine shops" seems to
be extending to the machine tenders, themsalvee.
In Wales the coal miners have defied the gov
ernment, armed with tha terror tt the new
munitions act and Its mot unusual and drastic
penalties, and have forced a settlement on terms
of advantage to the man, Dissatisfied work
men at Fssen threaten to tie up operations of
the great Krnpp plant, while striking machinists
may shut down the Remington Arms plant at
Eridgeport, and the Standard OH men at jtay
onne will check ocean shipments of oil from
that base through their strike. This state of
affairs supports the belief that human nature U
much the same, n hatter whether the man la Is
the trenches or In the shops.
All of this Industrial unrest Is eccasloned
primarily by demands of the workmen for a
share of the increased profits due to war ac
tivity, the plant owners being unwilling to dlvid
(with them. It may be aggravated to soma de
gree by agitation from outside influences, as
has been charged, but this Is not tha principal
factor. A year ago It was confidently asserted
that war wss Impossible, because the working
mea would not Join the armies. When war was
declared, socialistic organisations fell to pieces,
tha taunted "brotherhood of man" was forgot
ten, and the worklngmen took their place In tha
ranks of the fighting forces with Utile or no
delay. In Great Uritaln It has been found neres
ary to bring bark from the firing line akllledN
workmen la order that needed shop operations
may be carried oft, while Germany has handled
the matter with Its customary eye to "efficiency."
Tha fact of tha matter is, the worklngmaa In
war time, is as willing to fight aa any, and quite
a eager to fight for a share in the spoils of war.

Lumbermen from the horlhwest have been
telling some hard luck tales' to the federal
trad commission at Chicago, the most interest'
ir g one' of all being that the sawmill men of
Oregon and Washington stand to lose 112,000,-
000 and interest on their lnveotment for the cur
rent year. Tbia Is largely due to the fact that
men who have purchased the timber on govern
ment land are Cutting and selling lumber at a
rat that mean a lose to those who Own and
work their own timber lands. Here is a matter
that ought to have some immediate attention.
If what these sawmill owners say la true, the
government has sold off Its timber too cheaply.
and a better prlcv should be obtained. If tha
stories fc.ro not true, some other agc-hcy 14 re
eponBlble for the loss the lumbermen are endur
ing and it should be discovered and the remedy
applied. Such an important Industry, located so
favorably for reaching the msrkets of the world,
should not b in such languishing condition.
Humanity and Immorality.
One of the women delegate to the "purity"
conference at San Francisco has spoken so plainly
on ber topic that she may startle those who
&r uninformed te to actually existing conditions,
though she gives no Information to those who
bare made a scientific study of the subject.
Frailties of the flesh are "hot confined to any
particular class, and do not spring from any one
cause. Nor has it been well established that a
large percentage of either men or women are
perpetually traylng( along f"lha prittirosa path
of dalliance." Environment may tend to en
hance temptation, but morality Is a personal
quality, and often persists under circumstances
that some consider hopeless.
Much of silly exaggeration on this question
of morals has been heard from "uplifters," who
allow their Imagination to supply the gaps In
their knowledge. Great classes of men and
women have been gratuitously slandered by
theorists over zealous to support w hst they deem
a righteous cause. Careful Inquiry, by com
petent research workers, ha disproved these
sweeping accusations. The renditions outlined
by the speaker at San Francisco serve only to
show what slow progress humtinlty really makes
In (his directiona Slowness due Hot to lack
of Instruction or exportation, but to the lunate
tharacter of the human being.
Consolidation bringing with It Omaha rule
and regulations Is eliminating the free lunches

The preliminary "unofficial" conferences which

York to the Pacl'ld cnaat by all parties are the direct
dcecem'Hnta of the fjarrel and subterranean ealhar
Inss Of both the earlier and Uis later ferl d of populnf
government In America. And the Instinct cannot be
stifled. It should rather be legalised and made re
sponsible and open: ollierwlee a secret cabal, wliethef
benevolent or malevolent, ta sura to flourish and be
a continuing source af IrrtUUon in a democracy.
Governor Hushes met this problem squarely while
he was ths executive In New York. Its proposed, as
an essential tart of the democracy of his direct pri
mary plan, that representative state leaders, freely
chosen by voters In the local assembly districts, snd
without powet lesally to perpetuate themselves, should
In the. moat ooen manner and with the moat eareful
lrfcal restriction, make the Initial suggestions tt
state candidate for office. Hut the final doterml na
tion upon these sugteattohs aiid upon all other sug
gestlon which mtuht likewise be freely made by
petition, should lie with tha whole body of enrolled
voters in ch party on primary any. with this open
and responsible and legalized leadership at the totv
through a popularly elected commutes or a popularly
elected stats convention, and with the tewa meeting
re-established everywhere at the bottom, 'the direct
primary would fulfill Ibe needs of both representative
and direct democracy far better than H does at
present. The direct primary at preaent drives leader
ship to eover, and m-ikea no place for those splendid
mas ratherlnr and discussions In the small units of
the nation which formerly cleared the air and Informed
and trained the electorate, not only In New England,
but in many other parts of the country.
U Is from the asms standpoint that the recall, e li
re pt within narrow limits, ta unsound and even
vicious in principle. It Is a blow tt calm and delib
erate and dignified and continuous leadership of a
kind which democracy greatly tteedS. Aa conditions
are in America, most men of real ability and power
Shun public office and a publio career a they would
a pestilence.' If you add td the difficulty of bringing
such men to the front under a threatening and dead
ening machine System, the further threat of populef
misunderstanding and disapproval before they hava
time to show what, Is 'in them, we Shall never gt t
efficient leadership at all. Ueforo we begin to talk,
milch of the recall In tha United Plates we must
make it worth while for men of weight and will even
to listen to the call.
The recall s two-mlged sword. And It may. harm
far more thart It help. Even In city government,
those who have Studied tho psychology of opposition t'
a HeW administration know that lit the course of tha '
usual four-year tertrt of the mayor, for example,
tha antagonisms, both ratloim! and Irrational, lump
themselves at about the two-year period, just when
the recall under tha law Is usually made operative,
If the mayor of a city Is to be recalled at all he
should have a six-year term, and the recall should
be spplled at the three-year period.
.. And to talk about the recall of Judges Is te begin
st the wrong end of a much needed reform. Tho
Judk Isry Is not woll adapted to the prevailing elective
system. Men of the Hi; hi temperament to be Judges
are net Usually not kond campaigner. In the paat
their nomination and eectlon have frequently been
looked after for them: that IS, they have been
machlne-mada br corpnration-ihade, or both. We have
got many good Judge In this way, but It 1 a bat
way. Tho nonpartisan direct election of Judge I a
very little better." Partly because the voters do Hot
get their eye upon the Judges as they do upon the
governor, and parity because tha better campaigner
has the better chance. Inferior Judicial demagogue
are likely te Slip In. And yet the people ought to have
final control over (heir judges, a over every other
policy-determining officer, And Judges In America are
certainly polky-detetnulhing officers In a good many
public eases.
These experiences and reflections sr leading the
minds of many thoughtful persons in the country
towards a sami-appolntlve Judiciary for the common
wraiths, by which the governor, the natural and ro
sponsible leader of pUblle opinion, who U coming te
be held more Strictly to account by tho people than
any other public o'fk-er Irt the state, shall first
recommend persons for tha higher Judgeship. Their
names shall go upon the ballot with the words after
them: "Hecommendad by the Governor." In tha
am group shall b any ether nahtes suggested by a
uffli'leniiy large hum! er or petitioner. And on eleo
tlon day ths people Shalt rhooae between them. Here
you have ths element of responsible leadership under
tha final control of lhe people themselves. If this
does not correct Certain vtl of our Judicial system,
w shall then be obliged te give the peopla more direct
final control over Judicial lawmaking Itself, or else
lie driven to the practice of all Qher civilised nation.
of separating entirely the function of Judicial law
making from lb I u net on of adjudication.
To summarlts the substance of our exrerienea with
direct democracy, there need be no essential anta
onlsm anywhere betwocn leadership- and Popular rule,
between representative government and direct democ
racy. Tha twa ought everywhere In our grovcrnmenUi
srat-m td be romiilemvnU of one another. Por prac

present condlibms of our politics, direct democracy
should lend Itiwlf to the development and strengthen

BILVEB CR.KEK, Neb., July 17. To the
Editor of The Bee: It is a false cry that
the country Is unanimous In Its support
bf the president In his controversy with
th government of Germany. It Is true
tli at about all that I being aald, as we
may Rather from the newspapers, ts by
Wsy of sustaining his position; but this Is
largely, if not chiefly, by reason of the
fallacious doctrine that patriotism de
mands that ih an Issue, of this kind the
president, whether right or wrong, should
be Sustained by all good cltitens. For k
Similar reseon others who do not agree
With the president seem to be cowed Into
sllenne. It We Were actually at war Of
Course we Woiild all be with tha commander-in-chief
of the army and havy,
but as good cltlsens ws ought not td sus
tain him in a course that would logically
force us Into ah unjustifiable war.
Hut In private conversation 1 have neve
yet been able to find a man who thought
the president was right, either as to his
so-called "policy" In Mesloo or In Europe.
President Wilson's contention that Inter
national law which would permit ua the
freedom of tho high seas, even In thoao
parts declared "war sones" by the bel
ligerents, and to trade freely with bellig
erent countries In things heretofore con
sidered noncontraband of war. should be
strictly adhered to, Is absurd. Those rule
of international law were not made with
reference to condition similar to those
now esistlng; they cannot properly be
mad to square With present condition,
and hbuld therefore be Ignored and our
course determined by the real ethics of
the situation as It now presents Itself.
Taking that view; of It England has a
perfect right to starve Oermaby if It
can, and Germany ait equally good right
to use her submarines to destroy British
commefve and isolate England If It can.
Our policy thert should be to keep away
and let them fight tt out. When the lives
of great empires are trembling In the
balance It la ridiculous that they should
be asked to jeopardise their Interests In
order that wa might make, some dollar
In trade, or that one of our millionaire
Should have tha pleasure of visiting some
European watering place.
But If International law la to be in
lated on, why ahould England ba allowed
to escaiis? Ejitland was the first ka
gremtor, and It IS her work that ha par
alysed American commerce. Why doe
toot Wilson bring England to book?
But Wilson ha put his band to the

thoroughly mastered tha essentials. I
still could not be satisfied until I bsd
proved the truth or fsislty of th "Indh

In the form ef a bottle of sugary
strychnia pellet, I authoritatively waved
aside the melted lard, mustard and water,
and other emetic which officious friend
were recommending, and prying open the
sufferer's Jaws, 1 poured th pellets
down bis throat. Requlscat In pare! At

in the theory that "likes cure likes," 1
believe t have a perfect right to declare
that there is no truth in any of the other
principle of hbrneopathy. I think I am
