enslavement of J tie majority of the people for tho bonefit of the unprincipled minority. What we have seen growing for several decades under the name "i.-ibor movement" lias recently been revealed as a labor union movement, and there Is a xviM difference between the two. With the labor movement interested in advancing civilization through promotion of hotter conditions for the toilers, there has teen almost universal sympathy. But the labor union movement, which is concerned for power over the masses of the people and whose slogan, though it be not loudly proclaimed. Is "rule or ruin.'' is a cha.llen.Ere to pood citizens everywhere to protect themselves. The democracy rvf liritain i- menaced by the present attempt of a minority to conquer the people through starving them. The republican form of government elsewhere is threatened similarly. Free peoples fiiecepisfully resisted the efforts of the Huns. Those same people, now more or less concerned for the preservation of their liberties, will not succumb to the new barbarism that is designed to destroy them

J THE CHURCH AND THE NEWSPAPER. la officially recommending that the 300 Presbyteries tJarotighout tha country make special financial appropriations for systematic advertising In newspapers the executive commission of the Presbyterian church, which ha been meeting at Atlantic City, is proposing merely an extension of. an enterprise in which, a large number of individual churches of all denominations have already easag'xl "With decided benefit. l Only a few years ago the churches alone clung to f"tne notion that advertising was "undignified" for their . particular activities. They admitted its value, its indispensability. indeed, to tha merchant. They knew it brought "results" to those who had something to pell, but was a hazy thought that advertising was neither needed by the churches nor entirely compatible with their secret mission. And yet, inconsistently with this theory, these ?ame r.hurches maintained bulletins In front of their buildings with announcements of serv1e3 and even direct invitations to strangers to attend. It was soon seen that the only difference between 'newspaper advertising and the signboard method was the wideness of the appeal- "Whereas the latter method would reach the eyes of a few hundred persons only in the course of a day, an advertisement in newspapers would he read by many thousands. The experiment was made by a few churches. It was successful. And now It Is becoming a general custom. The churches' endorsement of this method of reaching: the public is significant. They have a message to deliver and in order to fulfill their mission completely they must deliver it to the largest possible number of persons. Advertising is the means they have wisely chosen and it should help to solve the problem of tho empty pew.

POPULAR LIBERTIES AGAIN MENACED. What Germany failed to do with its fmbmartnes. British labor unions are trying to accomplish by means of the strike. If the railroad men can bring the people near enough try starvation and the country close enough to economic collapse to cause the government to grovel to them they will he able to boast of what? Simply that they nave brought about the measure of disaster to the British people which they resisted bravely through the sereral year that the Huns were striving to attain the same end. This new warfare goes under the name of strike. Its ultimate aim is revolution, but it is in fact an enterprise of conquest by barbarous mean. Should it succeed it would mean not merely the overturning of a governmftt: it would mean the destruction of social order as it has been developed through the ages, the arresting of the progress of civilization itself. For there can be no question that the ultimate result of labor union success in the present undertaking in Britain would he the virtual

THE ENEMIES OF DEMOCRACY. An association of decent citizens of Milwaukee is sendin? out a public ajwlocy for the rudeness of the mayor, "the booh that made Milwaukee famous." but it need not have gone to the trouble. Discourtesy seems to be inborn in some folk and this matter of inviting King Albert to the Wisconsin metropolis was primarily one of ordinary manners. The Socialist mayor made a bad break in the first place in refusing to Issue the requested invitation, bm he made his biggest mistake when he trted to give a reason for his rudeness. He declared that he was a thorough Socialist, and like all Socialists could have nothing to do with royalty in any form. (Germany i the country where Socialism had its birth. And the German Socialists throughout the war gave their earnest support to imposing upon the world the iniquitious rule of the Hohenzollem royal family. They sanctioned the initial crime, the invading of Belgium, they voted appropriations of large sums for extension of German autocracy. They failed to protest against the atrocities perpetrated by order of the Hohenzollerns. In our own country the Socialists met at St. Louis and adopted a declaration against helping to pull the Hohenzollerns from their thrones. They pledged themselves to oppose the conduct of the war in every way possible. They said they wouldn't fight or lend the government their money. They urged their fellow workers to refuse to make or transport anything that could be used to defeat Germany. The American and French republics and the British democracy were engaged in a life or death struggle with the German monarchy find the Socialists of this country elected to cast their lot with autocracy. And then on of them has the nerve to stand up and say he will have nothing to do with a king who is as different from William Hohensollern as day Is from night! At the first opportunity Milwaukee ought to have a thorough housecleaning, choose an American for mayor and get back on five roll of 100 per cent American cities. For Socialism has shown Itself beyond question to be the opposite of Americanism.

Oxnard. Cal., is to have something new in the way of a movie. It is a film play written and acted by former bandit Al Jennings, now turned evangelist, and shows all sorts of thrilling scenes w-herein banks are robbed and safes looted, until religion enters and the bandit is turned from the error of his ways, if not his get-a-ways. The author maintains that most wild west bandit plays are greatly overdone, and that some of the favorite film heroes do things which no self-respecting robber would really be guilty of, such as jumping over their horses and like artistic frills. It is said to be the true-to-life story of a man who has tried all that outlawry has to offer, including a prison term, and has proved to his own satisfaction that the way to be happy is to be Just plain decent. The man's story Is romantic enough, and the picture should be Interesting and sufficiently strong in i's moral lesson to suit the most exacting censor. It might also Bhed new light upon the criminal problem. Turn the bold, bad men into movie heroes, and let them reform a sin-tossed world.

A few months ago Lenine and Trotzky were dreaming of world-dominion as the heads of an all-embracing Bolshevist etate. Now they are looking for a good place to Jump.
