This power Is not the German people. It Is the ruthless master of the Gorman peo- f. . ft our business to see to t that the history of the rest of the world Is no longsr left to Its handling." President Wilson, August 27, 1917. TRAITORS TO OUR DEMOCRACY. Th8 general definition of a traitor Is one "who gives aid and comfort to the enemy."' This Is usually applied to direct action, as in the Oklahoma movement In opposition to the draft, or the encouragement of daft eva sions, or when an American cltl7.cn re veals our war plans to Germany. Such acts constitute direct treason; but there Is a kind of indirect treason, much harder to define and combat, yet often far more dangerous to our coun try and the success of the war than direct .treason. Before the war there were In this country - many social, political, or humanitarian movements i on foot, all of which; were radical (that Is to say, advocates of change) in their programs. Such, for example, wore the Socialists, the Land Tax re-1 formers, the I'aciflsU. . But all of; theae asserted faith In the democratic ' principle in governmont and wished to i gain their ends by converting our ! democracy. Most of the adherents! of these' various movements have tec-1 ognizod that this democracy of ours ; having entered upon war, must bo j supported that special programs must, for the moment, be subordinated to the one great object of winninj the i tear. But, there are some persons so feeble-minded or so Incapable of grasp ing tho world Importance of this war, that they talk and write things cal culated to weaken our efficiency in war. These people are traitors to our democracy. - The whole matter Is summed up by the Single Tax Journal of California AEvcryman, November, 1017): "Wll son's business now Is to win the' war, and win it soon. . .- . The rn'llcai press should stop knocking him and attend to Its own business which Is to create the democracy that the Allies are to make the world safe for. To flKht war, after It Is on, is hnntlesn, To hinder its quielt. effective prosecu tion is, of course, traitorous." But there arc other .methods thau radical Bpeech which can "hinder the quick, effective prosccntlon of the war." Labor 'organizations, long en gaged In a struggle for better labor conditions, may see In the existence of war an opportunity to secure their de mands. If such demands are unusual and If they would have been unjusti fied had there been no war It labor seeks to take special advantage of the existence of war, then such labor Is traitorous. It hinders tho successful prosecution of tho war. For the most part, labor organizations . have not sought such s)eclal advantage, but a few have done so, and in public es timation they stand as traitors to our democracy. .
