Their conduct has been tolerated for long. Secure in their privilege of "free speech," with some real or fancied en couragement from , the mayor, they have heaped insults and unreasoning abuse upon law-abiding citizens and men of the army and navy. When in a cowardly fashion they assaulted five men in uniform they brought retribu tion upon themselves. Now with a shameless inconsistency they beg for protection from1, the very forces which they scorn, malign and insult ; They seek the rights of their despised citizenship; blame the police and call on congress. They are fair- weather rebels, only to play the baby act when paid in their own coin. And as for the socialists' complaint that they had no part in the events which led up to Friday night's out burst, it is partly true and partly false. It is the misfortune of social ism that it is not clearly defined; that there are self-styled socialists at least who are not a whit better than the most rabid of the I. W. W. syndical ists. There are always socialists to rush to the rescue of the I. W. W. The socialists, in part, keep bad com pany. Other socialists abhor the I W.

CAUSE OF TROUBLE IN SEATTLE To try to put the responsibility for Friday night's disturbances on Sec retary Daniels or any Other agency is foolish, says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The blame lies squarely with the I. W. W. and such of the socialists as maintain relations with them. The I. W. W. cheerfully assaulted a little batch of soldiers and sailors and sent them to the hospital. When the sol diers and sailors retalliated in kind it was simply the consequence of the first assault. This newspaper has no hesitancy in saying that the I. W. W. brought this attack upon themselves. .Under the plea of free speech they nightly de-j WHY BOYS LEAVE SCHOOL. The latest contributor to the discus sion as to why boys leave school is the American - Machinist. The fact that a great proportion of the boys of the country drop their studies and go to work as soon as the law permits them has been used very largely as an argu ment for industrial education. It is generally assumed, and no doubt with considerable truth, that economic pres sure has much to do with this and that parents and boys feel that the years should be used in more direct preparation for life or in -.earning money. Yet the earnings the boys get are small and most persons are willing to make any sacrifice neces sary to keep their children in school. And here the American Machinist brings up an interesting point. The most universal plea on the part of children, it says, is that they hate the school and want to work. "What part of school life do they hate and what part of shop life do they crave?" it asks, and it gives the opinion of a cor respondent, said to have had abundant opportunity to investigate these mat ters, that the largest cause of this de fection is a lack of willingness to think and take responsibility. "That is," comments the Machinist, 'it is a form of mental laziness. As he views the situation a boy feels that son to feel hurt, but they must rec-, he can dodge responsibility for correct otrnize in all fairness that a crowd arithmetic, English and everything else never makes fine distinctions. These lobby revelations may force us to remodel the capitol at Washington and cut out the lobbies. .1. HEAT WAVE BOTHERS. ly conceded as Arkansas is strongly- J tt' ..
