THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1920. - SAYS EDUCATION BETTER REMEDY FOR BOLSHEVISM Rev. E. E. Stauffer Asserts De portation Only Makes . Martyrs of Radi cal Leaders. J "Deportation of 'reds' and impris onment of I. W. VV.'i and anarchists radicalism," declared Rev. F. E. Stauffer, president of Midland col lege, Fremont, in a sermon yester day morning at StMarlc's English Lutheran church, Twentieth and Burdette streets: i "These people set themselves up as martyrs to their cause when they are imprisoned or deported," he said. Persecution ever has fostered y . Cur: It Education. "In education lies the real and . .1. i L. iog propagandas: and the keynote of Christian education is brotherhood. A beggar once as1ed Count Leo lolstoy for alms. The count turned i bis pockets inside out and said, 'Bro ther. I have nothing.' Instantly the beggar responded, 'It does not mat ter: you called me brother.' "To Christian education we owe air we have today. We are all born savages ana it, in Daoynooa, we were ' jui into the up oi a ueauicn nioincr : we would grow up naked, ferocious, , selfish savages. Christian education, environment and institutions make us what w e, are. "Yet some people don't seem' to realize this. ' I picked up a copy of the. Kansas City Times not long ago and in an editorial I read these as . tonishing wor.ds, 'Every practical man knows that the teachings of the Mew Testament are too hopelessly , idealistic for the present age.' Can yon imagine such an absurd state ment being made in the columns of a supposedly intelligent newspaper, circulating among the most ad vanced Christian people on earth. "Education, not force, will stamp . out anarchistic ideas in this and other countries. Milton it was, who said : " 'Ha who ovorfomee by forre Hath overcome but half his foe.' Christian Note Feeble. "Not only in our socular schools, but in many colleges and universi ties, the Christian note in education has become feeble. Our education, as a whole, has become too scien tific, too materialistic. The great themes voicing man's relation to Cod and his fellow man have been overshadowed by a mere teaching of things and of how to get along in the world. "The world has advanced tremend ously in material things during the last SO years. Never before was such a half century filled with wond erful inventions and constructions of things of iron, bck and stone. But how much ' advancement have we mad in th finer, hidicr ' nnhtrr. more enduring things? T"wt must have a great renewing of education along the lines of .

SOLD IN THE DC No Autocracy, Should be Found In Ranks of Either Of Workers or Capitalists More Democracy in the Industries Is One Solution of Present State of Unrest Answer to Many Let fters Asking: "What Are We to Do About the Present Situation? By RAY STANNARD BAKER. ' Article IX.. Since these articles began appear ing, I have received quite a number of letters making substantially this inquiry: t "Well, what are we going to do about it." The clear recognition of the pres ent conditions of industrial unrest, and the real danger to America in herent in them, is surely the best foundation for making a new start. Inv the letters I refer to, and in talks I have had recently, another attitude of mind is plain to see: that while the situation L extremely dif ficult it can and must be worked out. One of the surprising things has been .the number of different plans, schemes, experiments,- panaceas, contained in these letters. They come from several parts of the country and from various kinds of people practical men, reformers, ministers, radicals. Some show great labor; some represent long and patient experimentation; some shoot wholly wide of the mark; some re veal no knowledge whatever of real conditions. But their sjfini ficance ltes in the . exhibition they give of exuberant thought, of sin cere desire to meet the situation in some constructive way. They seem to me an expression of the confi dent American spirt in the motto I have already quoted: "It can be doite." , We know that we are in trouble. We have the desire and the will to find a way out. What we lack are clearness and unity of purpose in seeking a rem edy. Three Proposals for Solution. Three main ways of approach to a "solution" present themselves: (1) That of the extremist? on both sides; the "shoot 'em down" program on the part of the intoler ant employer, the "blow 'em up" program on the part of the intoler ant worker. Either way lies perdi tion. . . (2) That of a great mass of em ployers and employes and of the public as well who see the prob lem dimly" (or some part of t),. and who want really to find a construc tive solution, but who think it can be reached in some large general way. , They want a quick, whole some remedy that won't hurt much, or cost much, or take much time. They do not. yet' understand how deep-seated, of how long diwation, how enronic, the disease has be come. For example, it appear viv idly to some employers that in the recent great strikes most of ths trouble was caused by "foreigners," by "aliens" and "alien ideas." They do not follow the extremisis in de portation, but they do jump at what seems to them a ready and whole sale remedy: "Americanization. Americanize these workers and you cure the trouble! On the part of the workers there is a similar example of the desire for a broad general remedy. They believe that much of the trouble is due to unjust laws, oppression by judicial injunctions, outworn polit ical methods, and propose a new political party which will overturn the old system or parts of it and construct a new one by law. (3) The third group is a much smaller one as yet, but it is made up of those employers and managers and men who are beginning to see the real depth and width and length of the problem, and whose approach Is based upon the patient method of scientific inquiry guided by a spirit of genuine good will. They strive to know all the facts and to get at a real cure through steady day by day practice and experimentation in shops and factories. These are the men actually on the ground; not dis tant financiers, nor distant labor leaders, nor distant theorists. These are the men who must get at a modus vivendi or be ruined. The work that some of these good-will employers and managers are doing is as fine and high as anything to be found in this world today. Campaign for Americanization. Now. in this article and the next, in order to ge,t at least two of the more general remedies out of the way first, I will take up the subject of the present campaign for Ameri canization as suggested by the em ployers' end of the controversy; and political action as suggested by the workers. Both are valuable move ments: our foreigners do need "Americanization" and need it badly: BEST STORES D and the workers do need political ex pression, but we must understand thoroughly what is implied by each movement and how far it is intend ed to go with it. In following ar ticles I shall exhibit some of 'the more intensive and scientific expert ments and try to show how far each is effective in meeting the trouble for example welfare work, the shop committee system, the method of continuous arbitration as remarkably practiced in the clothing industry, the new science of management as stimulated from the employers' side, and the new impulse toward co-operative enterprises among the work ers. ,' Consider now the subject of "Americanization." I know of a meeting held not long ago by a group of business men in New York City to discuss this problem. They were deeply concerned about it. The suggestion made in all seriousness by the principal speaker was to have a lame number of copies of the con stitution of the United States print ed and distributed. He said that there was a Eible in practically every hotel room in America; there ought also to be a constitution. People must eet back to the sources 1 At another meeting I know of a speaker suggested a wide advertising ot American principles in the newspa pers; said that it had been- already adopted with great success in one or two cities. Another plan provided for a resurrection of the "four-min ute men who spoke so effectively for the Liberty loan campaigns dur ing the war, in which American principles would be presented in the aters, schools, and so on in four minutes. Other proposals, many ot them very valuable so far as they go, provide for the wide teaching of tne Jingnsn language in nigni schools. shoD schools and the like. This1 is actually being done in many places. 1 The "One-Language" Plants. I know of one plant in Milwaukee, a tannery, wnere wo loreign-oorn employes recently completed nine weeks' Instruction in the English language speaking, reading, writing and arithmetic, they hart an hour every day for fivcdays each week on the company's time and without loss of wages. The results ,were excel lent. There are said to be 500 in dustrial (plants in America where work ot this sort is Demg carried on It is not only good for the workers, but it pays the employer to have a e-lanzuaee" "plant. Certain cities. on like Cleveland, have begun serious campaigns to teach fcnglish to lor eigners, and there has been a wide revival of interest in night schools and adult schools. There have also been many pro posals to forward the same end by law. ' In its report, after investigat ing the steel strike, the senate com mittee recommended a change in our naturalization laws to require "some education of all foreigners, at least to the extent of speaking the American language," and providing that if they do not acquire this knowledge within five years after their arrival they may be deported. All of these suggestions, though some of them indicate an extraor dinary failure to visualize the stu pendous nature of the problem they are attacking so lightly, are signifi cant of one great fact and this is the conviction that the "melting pot" idea of America has failed, the idea that merely being in America was enough, by some kind of magic hocus-pocus, to turn vast numbers of foreigners of old and resistant races into good Americans. ' A Starting Fact. Consider this familiar and yet al ways startling fact, that in the last 22 years, since 1897 the period of the greatest expansion of 'American industry over 15,000,000 immi grants have ' come to America. Twice as many people as there 'are today in all Canada! A stupendous migration I Unlike the earlier im migrants, who distributed them selves more evenly throughout the nation, these later peoples have tended to . settle in indigestible lumps ' in the industrial regions. Foreigners largely dominate the great baic industries of the nation: coal, steel, oil, textiles, the packing houses and the clothing trades. We have been so confident of the magic of the melting pot, so busy making money, that we were blind to the fact that, instead of transforming these masses of foreigners, Ameri can instiutions were being trans formed by them. After an inves tigation of certain conditions in the textile industry eight years ago I wrote: "American workmen with Ameri can standards have largely disap peared from the textile industry, and even the solid English and Scotch workers are now flying before the immigrants from southern Europe, who can, or will attempt to, exist cn lower wages. The tendency is all toward grading downward. The danger is that these low-living, hopeless conditions are becoming the established mode of life. They may become the typical American conditions." . There is, indeed, much to be done THe Tablo Drink used in place of tea and coffee Instant POSTUM Coats less to com fort as weH as to 'puns. . . No Raise bi Price. with education, with the teaching of English, with instruction in Ameri can ideas, but these things barely scratch the surface of the problem. "When we get them so that they can understand us, asks one, critic pertinently, "wjiat are we going to say to them?" ' Americanism has got to be learned as the iriginal American learned it, by practice, by great freedom to talk, to read, to associate. One great fount of Americanism was the New England town meeting; represent ing free association, free discussion, common effort. But the masses of foreigners in many industries are prevented from having either free associations among themselves to af fect their own lives, or free associa tion or co-operation with the man agement to make industry more ef ficient and productive. And in some cases the conditions of their em ployment are such that they could pot possibly avail themselves of such agencies of '"Americanization" if they had them. What Serbian Said. I met a Serbian steel worker at Gary, who said to me passionately: "They accuse his of not becoming Americans. When do we get time. Can a man working in a blast fur naceand anybody knows that ain't no boy's job-12 hours a day, or even 10 hours, get time to learn English or learn anything else? What in hell do they expect of us?" They have, indeed, night Schools in Gary and in other steel centers, but as one teacher told me plain tively, not many come for very long. "They can't keep awake," he said. Father Karihcy, a Polish priest in Pennsylvania, bitterly complained of the long hours and Sunday work t the senate committee because his people could not "have any religion." He said regarding the Americaniza tion schools: "They arc not a very great suc cess for the simple reason that the men are overworked and they do not feel like going to the schools and depriving their families of their company after these long hours. Sundays they have none, for most of them .go to work." Faults of Unions. In spite of all the faults and ex cesses of labor unionism and they are many I think no one who stud ies the situation honestly can es cape the conclusion that it is one of the very greatest of all agencies of Americanization for these foreign ers: for here they really practice free association, free speech, free ac tion. Unionism today is almost the only agency that is free from any distinctions of race, or "previous condition of servitude." I once in vestigated a strike among the cloth ing workers in New York. I found in the union Jews. Americans. Ger mans, Italians, Lithuanians, Poles, and even Irish and Scotch, all workT ing together in a common cause. No other force tends more strongly to secure the amalgamation of these diverse peoples or to inspire them with a common public opinion than these unions. Today,sI believe the unions in the clothing industry in America, which are now co-operating fully with the employers, are doing more to hold their own radical elements in check by the force of tneir own inner public opinion than any policy of outside force and deportation on the part of the gov ernment could possibly do. the American elements in our population arc fully as much in need of training in Americanism as most of the foreigners;, for Americanism is not a language, but a certain f:-ee and generous point of view,- it :s a spirit; an attitude toward life; a full acceptance of the idea that all men should have free opportunity for the development of thit best that ' in them. It cannot look upon any man as a mere cog in a machine, as do those who believe in the commodity theory of labor, nor yet as a ma chine, as the early and orthodox scientific managers seemed to do; but he must be considered as a hu man being. And in a considerable part of American industry today this kind of real Americanism is denied the workers, and denied them by Americans. It is the great funda mental error of our system. There must be, in short, a real ap plication of the principles of Amer ican democracy to industry a full recognition of the right of those who work, in whatever rank, as Presi dent Wilson expresses it, "to partici pate m some organic way in every decision which directly affects their welfare or the part they play in in dustry. What Hoover Says. Herbert Hoover expresses the same idea in another way: "The paramount business of every American today is this busi ness of finding a solution to these issues, but this solution must De found by Americans, in a practical American way, based upon Ameri can ideas, on American philosophy of life." He says that the "primary ques tion is the better division of the products of industry and the steady development of higher productiv ity. There must be a better distri bution of profits," and maximum production "cannot be obtained with out giving a voice in the administra tion of production to all sections of the community concerned in the specific problem; that it cannot be obtained by the domination of any one element. In short, there must be more de mocracy in industry. No one auto cratic element, whether the great steel employers at one end of the scale or the radical labor leaders at the other, can be permitted to domi nate; there must be a greater repre scnation in administration, of all the elements concerned, and there Vust be a better distribution of the prod ucts of the common toil. This is the true Americanization of indus try, and it is the only method by which production of goods, now the greatest need of the world, can be stimulated. New Treasury Loan. Washington, Jan. 25. Secretary Glass announced the offerings for subscriptions of new treasury certif icates of indebtedness, bearing in terest from February 2, and payable March 15, with interest at the rate of 4 1-3 per' cent per 'annum.

L Conway x Says This Is the Foundation Dogma of the Cath olic Church. "What Think You of Christ," was the subject of the discourse deliv ered last night by the Rev. Bertrand L. Conway, well-known Faulist missionary of New York, at St. Ce celia cathedral The Rev. Mr. Conway and the Rev. John E. Burke, also of New York, are delivering a series of lec tures to explain the doctrines of the Catholic church. The sermons are intended for both Catholics and Protestants, it was explained, and "intended for all seekers of the truth and to answer ip a kindly manner all their difficulties." - Proof of 'Divinity "Jesus Christ on the admission of his bitterest enemies," the speak er declared, "was a true speaker. If he spoke the truth, he himself gives the surest proof of his divinity. "Christ testified that he was the Son of God, eaual in all thines to Jehovah, whom the Jews adored. rte allowed the claim to be defend ed by his friends without denial. Christ appealed to the people to see the works he wrought by his own power as a proof of his divinity. As an upright teacher, he could not have acted in 'regard to his divinity as he did unless he was divine." Rev. Conway referred to the atti tude of the Catholic church in regard to Christ's divinity. "This has been the foundation dogma of the Catholic church, declared the speaker, from Peter, the apostle, to Pius X." He called attention to the fact that while Protestants frequently as serted their unbelief in Christ's di vinity the Catholic church always stood firm on the point. Declaration to Jews. "Christ is God for eternity, not as two persons dwelling in one body, but as one divine person," con tinued the minister. "One of the strongest proofs we have in Christ's declaration to the Jews when he sajd, 'I and the rather are one. Rev. Conway addressed a congre gation in St. Cecelias cathedral yes terday morning on "The Church's Divine Mission. He will speak to morrow night on Reason and Faith." The services will continue every night throughout this and next week THREE COACHES PASS OVER BODY OF SWITCHMAN Shock of Cars Striking Man Warns Engineer Had Been On Road 40 Years. "O. P. Anderson, 108 North Eighth street, Rock Island switchman, was instantly killed Sunday afternoon in the Council Bluffs yards. Three coaches of the passenger trajn he was taking through the yards passed over him, mangling the body. Mr. Anderson's duty was to act as pilot for the passenger trains that are -backed through the yarfls be tween Council Bluffs and Omaha. His post was at the front end of the forward car of each backing train, and he was required to throw all of the switches He was piloting train No. 13 from Omaha and had reached the Seventeenth street crossing, where he had thrown a switch. No one saw the accident, but it is be lieved he slipped as he was climbing aboard the train. The jar of the coaches passing over his body gave the first warning, and the train was stopped after three coaches had passed. Mr. Anderson was 56 years of age. He had live3 in Council Bluffs for 4.0 years and had been with the Rock Island since 1W. , He was a mem ber of the Odd Fellows, Switch men's union and First Baptist church. He is . survived by his widow, two daughters, Mabel and Agnes, at home, and one son, Paul Anderson, Battle Creek, Mich.

The influenza epidemic in Albert Lea be came so serious that the city coun cil at a special session voted to close the schools and to appeal to the Red Cross for assistance. There are about 300 persons suffering from the disease here. Noske, German Dictator, Saved Country in Crisis (Continued From rage One.) 48 hours afterwards toppled kaiser and kaiserism. Noske went back to the mutinous sailors at Kiel and pledged his word to them that Germany would be a republic in two days at the latest. This pledge alone calmed the rebels whose fury and determination were bordering on fanaticism. Kiel Is Saved. Noske saved Kiel from being sacked by the mutineers. . He organ ized the revolution and led it into sane and constructive channels. Meanwhile the Prussian war minis ter, bcheuch at Berlin, co-operated with him by lifting the censorship from all revolt news. Word of what was gome on at Kiel and wilhelin shaven was flashed from one end of the empire to the other, thus whip ping the nation-wide unrest into flame and moulding it into an irre. sistible demand for the kaiser s ab dication. A few days afterwards Scheidemann was chancellor of the republic. Noske to this day has kept the reins of law and order firm ly in his hands and is universally recognizea as tne strong man oi Germany. An amusing counterpart to this story is an episode that occurred at Braunschweig, where a real soviet rule was established and held itself for some time. There a little hump back tailor, August Merges by name, proclaimed himself "president of the free state of Braunschweig (Bruns wick)" on November 9. and shortly afterward telephoned to his friend, Herr lappc, a. saddler. Here is the conversation as recorded by the Magdeburger Zeitung's "star re porter," who listened in on the wire: Real Soviet Rule. Merges Tomorrow, Heinrich, is your chance. Would you like to be come chief of police? ! lappe What? Me Chief of po lice? Why, August, how could I? What do I know about the police business? Merges Oh, never mind, Hein rich, I am president, and I don't know anything about the presiden tial business. What do you say is it a go?" Tappe Well, if you think it s all right, August 1 II try my hand at it, Merges All right see me to morrow. The next day the good people of Braunschweig saw by the morning paper that the aristocratic police chief, Van Dem Bussche, had re signed" and that he had been suc ceeded by Heitirich Tappe. The humpback tailor's regime governed the former duchy of Brunswick four months. "Squeeze" of Ex-Soldiers Too Much for Gen. Pershing Berkeley, Cal., Jan. 25.
