THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1923
Shakespeare must have been holding a political argument when he uttered that immortal line "Wha Foeds These Mortals Be."
FREEDOM
Upton Sinclair, novelist and socialist of international note, is being held in a Los Angeles jail on charges of unlawful assemblage, as a result of his endeavor to read the preamble of the constitution of the United States to a group of his personal friends or the top of Liberty hill in the outskirt of the city.
The facts do not indicate that the charge is tangible enough to hold him long or inflict punishment on him, but one thing is certain, if the authorities do not permit him to say what he has in mind he will write a book on it and gain a considerable circulation from book stands and libraries.
Sinclair is a typical leader of radical movements in this country. Any one wishing immediate trouble should attend an I. W. W. meeting in the heart of some large city where there is an administration determined to eradicate the community from the influence of such an organization. All that a person seeking thrills and an innovation needs to do is to begin reading the preamble of the constitution of the United States or of any other constitution to a group of his friends and his pleasures will begin
Previous to his arrest, Sinclair claimed the constitutional right of free speech in argument with the mayor of Los Angeles and the mayor answered, "Too many come here to talk about their constitutional rights They forget their constitutional duties."
It isn't a matter of freedom of speech, it is a matter of ball-headedness. As much as we regard Red propaganda in the United States a menace to the country, the people are hardly ready to take seriously the arresting of a man for reading the Constitution to a few of his friends. The whole thing will probably result in his liberation and the proceedings will be a farce. We need protection but we cannot punish lawful precedings.
"Will Prosperity Last?" the title of a magazine article asks. Perhaps, if it ever arrives again.
THE HARRISON LYNCHER
During a recent strike down in Harrison, Ark., a man who was known to be a striaker, was taken out and lynched. Whether he was lynched for exercising his constitutional right to quit work at any time, whether he talked too much to suit those who would have him quieted, or whether he was just a chance victim of the wrath of the mob, remains to be proven. After a farcical "investigation" it was decided by the courts that nothing could be done because of lack of sufficient evidence.
The people of the vicinity of Harrison were long suffering in the intermittent strike on the rail line which moved the products of their farms to the markets. They believed that the road was doing them an injustice, but the road hastened to explain that the striking employees were to blame
because their strawberries and apples rotted on the sidings. The railroad was "nice" to the people. It wanted to win the strike. And then came the murder. There was no sabotage of property, wilful destruction, or unconstitutional gatherings of mobs
However the strike movement had to be frightened away. So the rail workers of America think, and they think it so strongly that a reward of $5000 has been offered by the United Rail Workers of America for the arrest or apprehension of the perpetrators of the crime. Meanwhile the workers of America await the result of the personal investigations. To them it is virtually the only means by which they are to be saved in the future from coercive methods of employers, even though the employers are not guilty in this one case. The courts appear to be too anxious to forget the matter to suit the occasion.
"Education" says one who should know, "is merely an accumulation." So is hash.
IN SUPPORT OF SUN YAT
SEN
The charge has been made against the Cantenese or Southern government of divided China that it instigated the capture of foreign travelers on the Shanghai-Peking express train and subsequently demanded a huge ransom from their friends and relatives for the express purpose of discrediting the Peking government. The northern capital is at present recognized officially by world powers.
Although it is true that Sun Yun Sen, the leader of the southern element, is openly at war with the Peking government, it is highly improbable that the charge is logically true, and this for several reasons. The leader of the southern faction is hardly the type of man to stoop to such an alternative to gain even an inconsequential point. Throughout the past two decades in the history of modern China, Sun Yat Sen has had a tremendous following, and has welded his power judiciously and wisely. It was he who cheerfully offered to resign the presidency of the youthful Chinese Republic in 1012 in favor of Yuan-Shi-Kai, provided the Emperor abdicated and all the provinces agreed.
It was he who engineered the bloodless revolution originally and who, in response to the demand for a more democratic government, led the southern provinces to revolt when the Peking government showed signs of instituting the dynasty regime of old.
Due to the fact that the Chinese in general feel none too kindly toward the United States because of the stand which President Wilson took at the Versailles conference—and still more hostile toward European powers—discrediting the present recognition Chinese government would not move the people to demand a recognition of the Canton government by the Powers. This is a second reason for believing that the Southern faction did not encourage the outlawry.
Despite the reported open antagonism between the Sun Yat Sen supporters and the Peking element—which is largely Mandu, and is therefore ingrained toward welding an iron hand in government—the Chinese minister to this country, Dr. Alfred Sze, asserts that the prospects for peace and unification are bright. It is only a question of time when unification will be evolved out of the present fictional disturbances in China, according to Dr. Sze.
Scantor Hi Johnson's Paris train narrowly escaped wreck today. These scandals are immune from everything. He probably felt as safe afterwards as if he had been on the floor of congress.
If this is true, the fact adds weight to the first hypothesis, that the Canton government is not trying to discredit Peking by any underhanded means.

On Other Hills
To down the scalpers, a scheme has been devised by those in charge of the Junior Prom at the University of Illinois whereby all who purchase tickets will have to give the dance committee a photograph of themselves, or the night of the dance, and their photos are pared with their photos and refused admittance if the resemblance is not noticeable.

It is a closely held upper lip when the starting gun is fired.
At a vote taken at Yale University, 141 of the senior class preferred a Phi Beta Kappa key to the athletic insignia, while 134 voted for the "Y." Harvard was voted the second best to Yale and Yale's greatest need, in the opinion of the majority of the voters is for more football vioes. jee-
