The censor would confer a favor if he will stop the circulation of stories of plots and attempted ex plosions that are as authentic as Jack the Giant Killer. Labor unions in Canada have threatened a general strike if conscription is forced upon them without a majority vote o f the people. China’s method o f getting rid o f her obstreperous officials is not likely to become popular with the Washington bunch. It would doubtles be a great saving. The St Louis riots may portend more serious trouble. Labor dis turbances are difficult to handle at any time. It opens the way for lawlessness on the part of the employer as well as the em ployed. Neither are in [a state o f mind to observe the Golden Rule. The importation o f strike breakers has always caused trouble, more especially as they are almost invariably negroes or aliens. Such disturbances give an opportunity to those having anarchistic tendencies a chance to use them.
