SNAP RULINGS ON 'RADICALS' IMPERIL PUBLIC'S RIGHTS It Is Neither In Soft W. B. Wilson Nor Stern Mitchell Palmer, but In Trials by Jury, That Re Dance Can Be Placed TUK conflict between the opinion of the secretnr of labor nnd the at torney general lcgardtng the treatment of alleged radicals aud "revolution ists" raises it deeper and more vital question than any on which either of these tuo cabinet officials has touched. AVilliam 1). Wilson, commenting on the test ease of one Carl Miller, of the Communist Labor group, takes some pains to distinguish between spokesmen of a new social order who advocate vio lence nnd those who confine their ef fort to teaching, propaganda and n frnnk expression of views. "If the American people," declares the secretary of labor, "arc left free to discuss und Uecidc the questions pre senting themselves for consideration from day to day, uninfluenced by the threat of force or violence, they can bo relied upon to protect themselves ngniust any false philosophies, wild-eyed rcvo lutions or dictatorships of any kind." This is a viewpoint with which most Americans used to be in complete sym pathy. It is not. however, n complete rebuttal of Mr. Palmer's arguments, since the attorney gencrnl hns the habit of maintaining by his actions thnt the nation is in dire peril from its radicals and that wholesale deportations nnd arrests arc the only guarantees of safety. The public, which in mass formation is not good at analysis, is limited in its opportunities of discovering authorita tively whether some "revolutionists" are mild and in effect harmless, as Mr. Wilson asserts, or whether nil of them are really the desperate demons pic tured by Mr. Palmer, lu consequence the energies of the Department of Jus tice have met with a mixed reception. For a while it was unquestionably easy for the attorney general to pose as tho protector of "American institu tions." The federal dragnet was spread. Thousands of persons, a considerable number of whom were Inter released because of insufficient proof of. guilt, were nrrested and thrown into prisons. A "Ited" ship, crowded with exiled radicals, left our shores. "Good rid dance" wns a fairly general sentiment. More large-scale round-ups followed, more seizures without wnrrants nud finally Mr. Palmer painted in flaming terms the horrors of a coming May Day. Hut throughout the land n deep calm continued to brood. The result was damaging to hysteria and favorable to an examination of lurid ronds which we hnvc traveled. It will, perhaps, be difficult for Mr. Palmer to frighten again many Americans, who, while by no means to bcclnssed ns bigoted re actionaries, have at the same time an intense and loyal loathing of programs and practices calculated to subvert the principles of our government. Yet if these ordinniy citizens. nerse both to hard-boiled torylsm nnd ex travagant social nostrums, turn to Sec retary Wilson they will not find their case r!eaded in the way that most inti mately concerns them. The two cabine.t officers have each arrogated to himself abnormal powers. It is no more jus tifiable for Jlr. vuison on ins own initiative or his extremely active, not to say able coadjutor. I.puis F. Post, to acquit the radicals than it is for Mr. Palmer nnd his department to sentence them. Somewhere between these procedures there lies a majestic, an euecuve una a fundamental machine which hns been flagrantly overlooker .

ECHOES OF ARMAGEDDON IT IS only necessary to listen to the campaign specohes of the hour nnd to view the drift of political thinking in California, in Massachusetts, in Washington nnd elsewhere to know that the war and all its terrible lessons arc being swiftly forgotten. For most people Armageddon is a closed incident. They were not there. There seems to be a gencrnl comfort able conviction that "the thing is over nnd done with." The looming question of wnr debts is still in the future, and it doesn't appear to figure greatly in the calculations of people who nrc willing to dismiss all hopes of a permanent peace. But the report of Dr. C. W. I tucker, chief medical adviser of the bureau of war-risk insurance, is one of the echoes of wnr which Ought to rouse the mind of the country to a fresh understanding of the greater costs of the recent adventure. The government is enring for 041,000 men who were permanently disabled in Europe. The care of these youthful cterans will require an nnnunl outlay of 5325,000,000. The money is the smnllest part of the matter. The larger cost of modern warfare, as Doctor Kuckcr's survey has shown, is in human suffering. New and strange diseases, not men tioned in the record of other wars, Wa ited themselves on those who had to endure the strain nud horrors of trench fighting, gas nnd heavy artillery. More than 70,000 men returned to America with shattered nervous systems. More than 12,000 returned Insane. The people of Europe who suffered the full force of the shock are now lis tening to talk of "the next wnr." They know what war is. And it is largely because they prefer any alternative to a return of the nightmare that they nrc turbulent and hard to control. Who can blame them? THE BONUS DILEMMA CONGRCSS is anxious to pay bonuses . !. ,,,.. ,i, ro tho uniform during the wnr. but it does not know how or where to get the money. The suggestion of n tax on retail sales, whith would produce more than 51,000.000,000, is unpopular with tltcm for the rcn'on that every person who bought an) thing would be lcminded of the tux thnt Congress had levied on him. The congressmen seeking re-election are afraid of this plan. Then the plan to tax the rich, which they can nlwnjs be counted on to favor, has some serious objections nt the pres ent time. .The rich have been taxed so heavily by the present laws that the great mn's of new capital created each year has been largely absorbed by the government aud there is little left for the normnl expansion of business. When n cor poration goes into the mnrket for money it cannot find it because it i not there. And the business man who has been in the habit of expanding his plant by tho expenditure of his surplus profits is forced to get nlong with his old pinnt, for his surplus profits have been paid to the iuternnl revenue collector. If the taxes were made still heavier it would be n mntter only of months before the crash would come and all profits would disappear.

TN" 1000, when Joseph G. Cannon was tunning for Congress, for the eight eenth time, he went to Danville. 111., to address railroad men. Outside the shops there wns a platform. Four high steps led to it and he climbed them sedately. "You see." he cried, "how nn old man would do it. Now I'll show you how a joung man docs it." He descended, wnlked ten or twelve paces, swung on his heel, pranced and jumped to the middle of the plntform. Which wasn't half bad for a septua gennrmn. "TTNCLE JOE" is eighty four years U old today. The only evidence that he lacks any of the "pep" that aforetime distinguished him is thnt he is not n candidate for the presidential nomination, as he wns in 1008. If ho were, it would make the prcs cut campaign even more unusual than it is. There are three men of Quaker stock who are presidential possibilities Hoovcif, Sproul nnd Palmer. Cannon would have been a fourth. His parents were Quakers and he wns named for a distinguished man of thnt, faith, Joseph Gurncy. MR. CANNON is nn authority on profanity. He has ever regarded himself ns a plain man of the plniu people and abhors "frills." In Cnn noitism "frills" includes everything cultural, from architecture to political I reform. It wns one outburst of profanity thnt first broke his continuous service in Congress from 1873 to tho prrseut time. In 1800 during n debate on the subject of "compound lard" William McAdoo, of New Jersey, said nomcthing to annoy him, and Cannon, laboring apparently under much excitement, fired if coarse joke at him. The incident was enough to defeat him ; but at (he next election he came hack. Whv? Well, principally because whatever else ho is, Uncle Joe is a man. Un nfllictcd with ideals, be is courageous and straightforward nnd eminently liknblc. His absence 'from the Sixty-third Congress was nlso followed by n come back. Men nrc respected for their strength but loved for their weaknesses if the weaknesses arc "manly" weaknesses.

Unile- Joe succeeded Thomas Brackctt I Reed as speaker, nnd for four times In nuoccsoion wns elected to that office. ' He had helped "Czar Reed" to establish - , , the quorum-counting rules nnd others which made tlie speaker oii-poweriui. Murmurs of rebellion had been rife for years against his autocratic power, nnd i in February they became vocal. Twen ty-nine Republicans came out in the open ns insurgents nnd the speaker wns eventually forced from the niles com mittee aiid stripped of power. JOSEPH G. CANNON was born in Guilford. N. C. When he was four tears old his parents migrated to In diana because their Quaker beliefs could pot snnctipn slavery. The elder Cannon wns n doctor and a teacher.
