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.

Takahashi Cabinet
Tokio, July 23.?The resignation of
die Takahashi cabinet brought out
he fact the the constitution of Japan (
foes not provide a means whereby a t
>rime minister can insist upon the ,
esignation of members of his cab- <
net, no matter how unpopular their I
ndicies are, nor how far they may be I
>ut of sympathy with the views of 1
he premier himself. 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.
The Earl of Cavan, Chief of the Imlerial
General Stalf, sent this mes- i
tACTP! "Mv luminosu ia uror on/1 nron.
nation for war, but that does not j
ind never wil permit me from doing .
ill I ean to prevent war. The League
if Nations has, I believe, the back
ng of all thoughtful people."
ro Sail From Shanghai
To Victoria in Chinese Junk
Shanghai, July 20.?A trip across
he Pacific from Shankhai port to Victoria,
B. 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

JUR CAg ED FLAGS ABROAD
Emblem* -Tkfcen During the War
of 1tlt Are Safely Preserved
A recant walk through Uhelnee
brought me to several places of inter*
?st to Americans. 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.?
