POOR ILLINOIS! (Chicago Herald) And now it is Senator Lewis. Of all the voices that have rever'berated at Washington the state of Lincoln has been represented by none whose pro-Americanism has rung around the world. A careful study of the papers of the country fails to show that Illinois’ spokesmen at t'he capitol have contributed anything esteemed of value by the nation in this, its hour of need. At the acknowledged suggestion of ‘‘representative German-Americans in Chicago to whose loyalty I can myself attest” Senator Lewis has mud- dled war preparations with peace piffle. Is there no one from the home of Lincoln, Grant and Logan to speak for the representative American Americans whose loyalty requires no attestation? To what evil day has Ilinois come that the mayor of its great city and its chosen messengers to the country are audible only when they decry or embarrass their gov- ernment’s effectual prosecution of the war forced upon the country! In shame the patriotic citizens of the state whose greatest son saved the Union must listen to this misrepresentation of their true feelings and of their genuine aspirations. Illinois is not slothful. Illinois is not hang- ing back. Illinois is not seeking an easy, ignoble escape from the hard- ship of war. Illinois is in spirit with that great leader who preferred liberty to peace, who chose national honor rather than servile conces- sions or time serving compromises. The voice of the loyal millions is muted while the subtle pleas of indirection are shouted from the housetops. Oh, for a man to speak to the nation out of the fullness of the heart of a people whose passion is freedom! Oh, for a leader fit to carry for- ward the great tradition! Oh, for a statesman worthy to express the ideal of the gallant army of men who have offered themselves to their country! Poor Illinois! THE 1. W. W. PROGRAM In a recently published article, in which “Big Bill” Haywood, head of the 1. W. W., gave out a statement, he said: They can’t stop us. No matter what they do, we will go on and on until we—the roughnecks of this worldi—will take control of all pro- duction and work when we please and how much we please. .The man who makes the wagon will ride in it himself. Hell, what’s the use of talking about anything but the man who works with his hands. The 1. W. W. seeks only that kind of men. The old uniom lfl?or crowd, headed by Gompers and his silk hat bunch, won’t get anywhere. They’re in with the oppressors half of the time. We don’t go after the skilled men, although they are welcome to our organization. We are pot looking for the highbrows. Ours is a roughneck bunch. That's what they call us, but when all of our crowd get this thing straight in our minds we will be in a position to dictate terms to every industry in the world. How? By folding our arms and completely stopping all work until our terms are met. It will be easy. Wage systems will be no more. The roughnecks, as thie highbrows call us, will be the ones running things. And the high- brows will have to get onto our platform. We are not going up to theirs. The only right solution of the problem of life in this world is bringing everybody down to our basis of living. SAME ROSE BY ANOTHER NAME The action of the Minnesota Public Safety commission in calling the mayor of New Ulm and other officials to appear on the carpet for their recent treasonable utterances in public mass meeting is a move in the right direction and should be made the most of. The reports of that meeting indicated conclusively that New Ulm is thickly populated with Germans of foreign birth or Germans whose Am- ericanism amounts to nothing. Those who came here from Germany did so to escape Prussianism and in public speeches make reference to & “referendum by the people,” etc., etc. Pshaw! When did Kaiser Wil- helm ever allow a referendum. The utterances at ‘New Ulm were not one whit milder than an I. W. W. speech and if an I. W. W. speaker would get up and shout what was said at New Ulm he would be slammed into jail and sent to the pen. A rose by another name smells as sweet. Among the charges against a southern tariff whom his constituents are trying to remove from office, is that he smokes cigarettes. The cuss should cultivate a few real vices. = ——— Since the draft, those cities that returned padded census reports have been busy explaining what has become of their population. If all statistics on the waste in this country are true we haven't a darned thing left. Summer, however, is faintly tapping at the door. Speaking of the Chinese puzzle—well, it’s still in China.
