How monstrous that a man should
dig down into the earth and, mere
ly by bringing up gold, be able, for
ever after, to command the goods
and services of multitudes of other
men. How monstrous that a Wall
Street speculator, merely by shout
ing and gesticulating in a certain
manner on the floor of the ex
change on a certain day should be
able, forever after to command the
goods and services of multitudes of
other men. How monstrous that
the owner of an industry merely
by such ownership, should be able,
without taking any part in the pro
cesses of production, to command
;he goods and services of other
men.
We accept these facts, for the
moot part, because they were here
when we were boru and we regard
them in much the same manner as
If they were rootfid in the earth
and a part of the earth. Yet, each
of these facts is man-made for a
purpose, asd what some men have
made for their purposes, other men
can charge for reasons that ner
their own.
If the earth contained boxes filled
with neathly printed orders entit
ling the frides to take the goods
and command the services of other
men, who would work or give up
his gooda merely because someone
came around with one of the ord
rs? Yet we regard gold mining as
a legitimate ndustry:
If the New York stock exchange,
Instead of being a place where
; tccks are brought, sold and gamb
led in, were merely a printing office
in which orders wore printed entit
ling the bcarcra to the services of
farmers and mechanics; who would
consent to work for the holders of
the orders? Yet we are all working
for them now because the orders
they hold are dollars "payable to
bearer,” with no questions asked as
to whether the bearers hr.ve ever
rcrved the public from which they
demand both goods and services.
If a thousand men in this coun
try were to say: “Our fathers had
a million dollars apiece and did
nothing all their lives and they
have loft it -o us and wo purpose
lo do nothing all our lives. You
will have to feed us on the fat of
tho land until we die and moreover,
you will have to give each of us
something to, add to his mdli m"—
wo should hardly take such talk
seriously. But when these gentle
man change their money from one
:,afe to another and say they own
a railroad that you built—then we
take their talk very seriously. We
let them live whore and how they
please. We supply them with plen
ty of gold, silver and paper orders
for our services—“payable to
bearer”—and do not so much as
question the right of men to own
privately tlie great industrial ma
chinery and the natural resources
that all men muet use and enjoy if
they are to live.

Prejudice is knowing it isn’t so,
when you don't know anything
•about it. Prejudice is something
you are sure you haven’t a bit of
yourself, but you are sure-* every
body else has a lot of It. Prejudice
is (tie mother of laziness, the ally
of ignorance and superstition, and
the world's greatest bar to progress.
Prejudice is tho war god's chief
vupport, made possible by the aw
ful shambles of Europe.
WORKERS WIRE WAKE IP.
Notwithstanding the' effect which
improved intelligence in the work
ing classes, together with just laws,
may have in altering the distribut
tion of the produce to their advant
age, I can not think it probable
ihat they will bo permnently con
tented with the condition of labor
ing for wages as their ultimate
state. To work at the bidding and
for the profit of another, without
any interest in the work—the price
of their labor being adjusted by
hostile competition, one side de
manding as much and the other
paying as little as possible—is not,
even when wages are high, a satis
factory state to human beings of
educated intelligence, who have
ceased to think themselves natur-1
ally inferior to those whom they
serve. They may be willing to pass
through the class of servants on
their way to that of employers; but
not to remain in it all their lives.
Another scientist has discovered
that criminality is caused be defec
tive human beings. He would end
it by segregating the defectives ana
preventing them from breeding. At
the same time he would leave in
tact the system that makes defec
tives at both ends of the teeter
board and thus perpetuates the con
dition that brutalizes the world.
Great is the logic that upholds the
robbery of the workers!
If your head were fuller your
stomach might be fuller.
Men are foots because they are
poor, and then are poor because
they are fools.
A burnt child dreads the fire, but
the stung voter always comes back
for more.

What you earn is the capitalist's
It's only what you get that's yours
—and not all of that.
"Engineer blamed for fatal
wreck.’’ —News Item. Sure. What
are engineers for, anyhow?
The high cost of living would
come down with a rush if it were
not supported by old party votes.
Capitalism thinks it is better that
one rich man should have- too
much than that ninety-nine work
ers should have enough.
Street cars are instituted among
men for the purpose of enabling
thoir stockholders to avoid the in
convenience of riding on them.
When the plute quits financing
the old parties it will be time for
the workers to vote for them—be
cause then there won’t be any old
parties.
There is no sex, age, race, color
or religion in hunger. Hunger
speaks but one language and list
ensto but to one word. That word
is Food.
"There Is no use in replying !
when the democratic party is criti
cized as not knowing how to serve
the business interests of the coun
try.”—President Wilson.
A scientist says gold can be made
artifically out of other substances.
The good old fashioned way of
taking ii. out of the workers' hide
has suffered no loss of popularity
with the employers, however.
