Respect for age would naturally protect Senator Thomas Staples Mar- tin, chairman of the Senate Appro- priations Committee and Democratic Leader in the Senate, from criticism but these are times when men must be judged with unbending firmness and. justice. Among several statements ascribed to Benator Martin are: There is no need for compul- sory military service. We must do away with every war industry, bureau, administra- tion and all things which have to do with the war which is over and past now. Close munition factories. making guns. Stop shells. Peace is here and peace will stay a long time. It is evident Senator speaking of the need for halt to all extravagance, Stop making Martin was calling a which is born of war and which is peculiar to no single country. In this aim he wasg right. There should be retrench- ment. There should be economy But Senator Martin goes too far. He would cripple all which would make possi go-as- agencies defense ble. He would return to those you-please days in America when we at- national were not prepared to ward off tacks and when we were blissfully ig- norant of the fact. Taking Senator Martin’s last state- fizst: “Peace is here and will a long time.” It requires a su- such visions. ment per-optimist to enjoy Yes, peace is here but its stay will de- pend on the ability of each nation to We will have peace discovers the again, that it for conquest. as swift, as preserve peace. until some countr world 1s growing soft is in a fertile state Then we will have war, horrible as that from which we are emerging. As to doing away with all war in- dustries, bureaus, administrations, ote, that ls a worthy object. We will not need them, but we must not for- get how to act when we do need them.

Ten and twelve hour shifts mean “big money” workingmen but what they gain financially they lose in vigor and energy, according to opinion expressed by Patrick officer of the Bridgeport lodge of the International Association of Machinists, the other night. Mr. Scollins voiced what other men know | but concerning which they have, kept ! silent. It is a novel experience to read of | a labor man defending the employ- ers at a labor meeting but Mr. Scol- lins is apparently a man who dares. He said: to the | Scol- lins, an For nearly two years you have been working on ten and twelve hour shifts. T don’t believe it has done you any good and it certain- ly has not made you physically stronger. You may say “Look at the big money we have been making”, but I don’'t see any of you buying railroads. Don't malign the manufacturers and don't accuse those in Washing- | ton. You are alone to blame. | It is apparent that if labor troubles | occur during the period of readjust- ment, Mr. Scollins will not be a party to them. He shows a broadness of vision that is too infrequently found in the circle in which he lives.

SAYS MANN WAS PRO-GERMAN. Opposition to James R. Mann, as Republican Speaker of the House, is | beginning to be voiced by many in- | dependent-minded editors. The Wa- terbury American is the latest to fire | a broadside at the aspirations of Rep- resentative Mann: He has the wits, the pluck and the parliamentary resources that make him a redoubtable floor leader. But the war proved him to be unequal to the real test of Americanism. He was pro-Ger- man in spirit, in words and in votes.
