TUESDAY, JANUARY 20 WHY BERGER IS BARRED Comment of the State Press ,- Snappy Glean Inga from Press at the Valley ' the SHSHSHSHSI H B H nAMILTONS' Cross of Cold " With the bullion in a silver dollar worth five cents more that the bul lion in a gold dollar the cross of gold, does not look so yellow and the crown is not so thorny at it was, says Bryau's Commoner. Victor Berger, refused admittance to Congress again, declares: . ' ','This is one of the worst attacks on representative gov ernment ever witnessed in this country. It is really a full denial of the right of the people to elect the citizen as their representative who is their choicer i. Wrong as usual: .. . , Berger and his defenders make the fundamental mis take of assuming that he has beeu-barred from membership in Coneress because he is a Socialist. This is absurd. He himself served a term in the House of Representatives as a declared Socialist, without question. So did Meyer Lon don of New York. What Berger.has .tje.ri. barred for is not Socialism, but crime. , ;-v Berger has been convicted qJ violating the federal espionage Jaw, and giving aid and comfort to the enemv in rime of war. and is out on bail.- awaiting sentence. The House of Representatives, after a long and careful investi- gafion, is almost unanimously convinced tnat ne naa a lair trial and deserves puhfchnien Xhc House itself is consti tutionally the sole judge of the qualifications of its members" TTie House decides, logically enough, that it cannot admit 6 membership a man. who comes.to.it as a criminal, having deliberately broken one of the" thosV important of its own jrws, itd glorying in the fact. , ';' 'r? Berger's action has bee'nln itself a denial of the "repre sentative government he professes to invoke. representa tive government implies that the minority will obey the laws T. j l-- -.t E Jr..: I J L.. -enacrea oy me, majority. Dcrgcr, uciymg a taw cnancu uy ?n overwhelm iln.aiqritj afcthe legislative body be belong .j4d to, denies representative rule.' "r : As' Tor th people of h'is district,, they, have deliberately chosen to be represented by a man whonvCbngress cannot accept, and so have chosen to go unrepresented at Wash ington. Representative government wins, in. the fact that the Milwaukee minority is not allowed to impose its wilj'on all the rest of the country. .-. .... . ! No Dictorshlp Wanted The American-government, natur ally, does not want to be overthrown. The American business system does not want to be overthrown. What is more important, the public does not want them overthrown. And most certainly the American people do not want to live under a "dicstorship of the proletariat,' like the Russians, Instead of nling themselves accord ing . to representative, democratic methods.
