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

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.
