MONDAY, JULY 24, 1922. The railway strike, instead of ending last week, as some predicted, seems to be gathering momentum daily. In the meantime, as we predicted in the beginning, the people arc beginning to pay. '1 he price of coal to the consumer is soaring and is so sc.ircp thnt it rannut he had at any price. Many large manufacturing plants have closed down, owing to tincoal shortage and all business is hampered by poor transportation facilities Unless the govrnment steps in to end it, the strike will continue for some time, and conditions will grow worse. Almost any day the engineers and firemen may he drawn into the battle The clerks on some systems have already voted to strike, and may walk out any day. The chief reason for the failure of transportation lies in the fact that strikers not only walk out. but use every means in their power to prevent others from taking their places, not hesitating to use violence. Here is where the unions are going to los the battle. When the struggle is over the workers will have lost the fight and there will be the enactment of laws in the future that will put labor unions under very much stricter regulations. The law, not labor unions, must he preeminent. Already laws have been enacted prohibiting aggregations of wealth acting independently of government. The same will have to be done in the case of labor unions. No one group of men i will ever he allowed to set up a government that supersedes the government's laws. This week promises to be a stormy one. In the meantime, let it be remembered that the public pays. The public is always the goat. But. the public is beginning to grow weary of being the iroat. Georgia, the state that (rave birth to the modern Ku Klux Klan, is having trouble with the organization. if one is to judge by the newspaper ae eounts. Governor Ilardwick has in public addresses, called upon the Klan there 1 ave been many acts of violence. In many instances the acts of violence have been laid at the door of the Ku Klux. The Ku Klux have stoutly denied the charge, and say that the acts violence have been committed by those imitating the Klan, wearing masks and robes that looked like the real thing. Our renders will recall that several months ago we predicted that this very thing would happen: Acts of violence would come, and the blame be placed upon the Ku Klux We stated that no matter how good the intentions of the order, the imitations would bring it into disfavor. All manner of violence and injustice brought about by imitators will be blamed upon the Ku Klux. The very atmosphere of such an organization invites such a condition and creates it. The secrecy, the acting under cov r of (he night, the self-appointed censorship established all unite in giving such a turn to affairs. The Ku Klux may, and we believe do seek to serve in the enfr rcement of the law. Rut the intent and the actunT result are wide apart. So long as we have of. floors and courts to enforce the law, just long will there be no need for ' such an organization. The present organization is not a help to lumv enforcement, it is a breeder of lawless- , ness and encourages injustices many of them. If we had come to a situa-M tion wherein the machinery of govern ' rnent had fallen down and a state of anarchy reigned, there might be some excuse for such an organization. This is Just what did hnppen when the original Ku Kluv organization came into existence. Rut with laws upon the ? *,.4..4.. 1 1- iL 4 4-1 i -kivuit; imiukh inai wo enacieu, juopfes elected by us, juries chosen by us and from among us, every courthouse in our country, it is h hit presumptuous for any organization clothed with masks and acting in secrecy, to assume prerogatives that are above the courts and juries. Rule by night rid ' trs is bound to be pour rule at ln-st. I and when the law is functioning there I is no need whatsoever for such organigations. The acting "Imperial Wizard" has ordered the unmasking of the Klan in I Georgia and, we presume, the order t applies to other states as well. But 1 he has refused to order the removal J of secrecy ns to membership, saying j that the question will be brought up j at the general convention to be ?ield < six months or a year from now. No- 1 J] body is to be informed as to just who ^ the Klansmen are, that is nobody on j the outside. It is this very secrecy 1 that is repulsive to sincere anil ? thoughtful men. There is an air of 1 implied cowardice in the secrecy that refuses to divylge the names of the , members. And. the trouble will not | end by ordering the unmasking of the i members. All that means is that ' there will be no parades by masked men. Think of members of the Ma- ( sonic order hiding their membership in the organization! Why, the very 1 opposite is true; the badge is wornj1 proudly, openly. So far as we know, ' there i?, not another secret order that j hides the identity of its members. If j the Ku Klux Klan does not give pub- i lioity as to its members, it will not be- long before every state in which j they operate will pass laws compell- ^ ing not only unmasking but the pub- j lication of every name of every man ; holding membership therein. Gover- ' nor Hardwick says that is exactly 1 what Georgia will do. And all the ' other state will do likewise. j Our cat says strikers who use a big j stick will lose the battle. * * * 1 Our cat says the millcnium will be J bore when politicians tell the truth, i * m Our cat says this is the last day in ' which to enroll.

This is because ' ifter the formation of a cabinet the nembers thereof are rosponsiblc to [ he throne and can be removed only , >y an imperial order. As in modern | lapan the emperor or in this case the prince regent would not j< opardize ] lis own popularity by di.-missing the 1 Ministers who Premier Takahashi I wished to get rid of, there was noth- ' ng for the premier to do as the min- ' isters would not voluntarily resign, ' Dut to hand in the resignation of the whole cabinet. , The recalcitrant members, Mr. Mo- , toda, minister of railways, and Mr. , ilakahashi, minister of education, ! bad been under fire from members of I their own party, the Seiynkai, the 1 former for his failure to carry out ' promised educational reforms and the latter because of the general dissatisfaction of his administration of the ( railways. The premier had had clashes with ( ilher members of his cabinet particu- , arly with General Yamanashi, minis- | ter of war, over proposed reductions < in the army, but a compromise was ' arranged and it was hoped that with 1 the elimination of Messrs. Motoda ' and Nakahashi a strong military min- j istry could have been formed which | would have been able to carry | through the premier's proposed gen- , ?ral retrenchment policy. i League of Nations i Fervently Endorsed 1 London, July 22.?"This meeting affirms its belief that the future j peace und safety of the world depends upon the adoption by all na- | lions of the principles of the League I of Nations. It recognizes that the < admission of all European nations, 1 especially Germany, to the League is 1 a matter of urgency.' This resolution was put and carried , simultaneously from ten different . platforms in Hyde Park. The ocea- | sion was the anniversary of League | of Nations Days. Thousands proved i their devotion to the league by cheer- I ing the resolution despite the rain ' which fell in torrents. The Archbishop of York said he tnew the league had prevented war letween Sweden and Finland and , hat it hud settled a most difficult luestion in Upper Silesia. Also it lad quenched the sparks flying about \lbania, the powder magazine of Eu- i ope. > J Lord Robert Cecil said the League lad brought back and restored to heir homes something approaching j lalf a million prisoners of war; it uid helped prevent disease and death | pleading from the famine stricken , ireus of Europe, and had done much o raise labor conditions throughout he world.

C., in a Chinese fishing junk ivith a registered tonnage of 23.13, manned by three Chinese sailors, Is the plan of Captain George Waard reteran of the Seven Seas. Captain Waard declared his purpose aboard his junk, the Amoy, which he had built himself at Amoy in the winter. His purpose was to sail From Shanghai on June 25 and steer a course along the coast of Korea through the Straits of Hakodate and then follow the northern route across the Pacific stopping possibly at the Aleutian Islands. ID* said he believed he could complete the voyage and arrive at Victoria in the latter part of August. "I'm carrying no cargo and no pasiengers," Captain Waard said, "and it isn't going to be a pleasure trip ex- ' .ctly, for I expect we will meet witii rough going." At the age of 39 Captain Waard dates his sea experience sack to the time when he was a boy >f 11 when he says he first put out on i sealing vessel from Victoria. He is of Dutch parentage, but was taken :<> Canada in his infancy by his parents. Captain Waard's experience in China extends over a decade several fears of which he was skipper of a Chinese coaster ^operated by a larg" British export house out of Hongkong. More recently he has been engaged in iuporvi?ing the construction of a pier For An Amnridfln frrwlinw oAnnnvn I """".B VV.ll.tM,, The Amoy, which waa the aubject of io little press notice in Shanghai ia >P feet over-all with a beam of lh Feet and ia modelled on the linea of a ypieal Chinese fishing junk.

Firstly, the old Roy* il hospital, bnllt la the reign of King Oharles IT, the great hall of which Is now used as a recreation room for Urn old pensioners and from whose rails a number of flags captured during the 1813-1810 war are suspended. The colors hang sedately side by ilde with Napoleonic eagles and other war trophies, and If it were not for the records It would be almost Impossible to discern their story. Among them are flags of the Slxty-etghth and fiHghty-flfth regiments captured at Blandensberg; the Kentucky regimental flag, tha Fourth regiment of United States infantry, taken at Detroit; tha Second regiment M the United States Infantry and another taken at Queen* tewn Heights. I wonder how many Americans know of their existence. It would certainly be a graceful act of the Britlnh government te return them to America. No doubt tho American authorities have some similar trophies which they would be pleased to exohange.?
