“Patriotism requires personal*
sacrifice, and the workers ever have /
and will be among tho foremost in
laying their all upon the altar of
their country’s needs. But u does
net necessarily folljw that they
eta not recognize a move on the
part of these who have ever striven
to degrade their conditions to that
cf the chattel slave of old to turn
the country’s necessities to their
< va advantage.’’
Every individual in the labor
ing world is powerless by his in
dividual self. He faces the Boss
without having power to do any
thing else but offer his labor for
sale. The union changes that,
and joins together each of tho indi
vidual units with all workers In a
solid phalanx whereby they are em
powered to resist the encroach
ments of the Boss’s greed, and fitt
ingly to strive for the great end of;
the labor movement when the work j
ors will control the jobs and in the j
giving ol jobs.
All workers have a common in-!
teivst. They have one thing to:
cell and one thing only—their la-1
bor power. As sellers of that com-1
molity they can gain nothing by
dividing up into small Individual
groups whereby the b ’as is en
abled to pit one agai st the other
in competition for the job. Where
fore it is, too, that there thus ex-(
Isis the necessity for the worker |
hep-nging to the labor union which
wili assist him not only to dispose
profitably of his labor power, but
more important yet control the job
so that ho wilt not await the beck
and call of same “masters” before
lie can get rid of that which he
lias now to dispose cf as best he
can in the labor market. Organize
and organize right to tho end not
only that the conditions of wage
slavery may be bettered, but the
system of wage slavery may be
finally abolished.
To this end therefore those who
mine in this section of the coun
try lor a living can in no way as
sist themselves better, and in as
sisting themselves, assiit thc;r fel
lows, than by joining the Nome
Mine Workers Union which is orga
nized to uphold the rights of the
working class.
UAHOR AWAKENING.
The abolition of slavery ir. this
and other countries and of serfdom
in llusaiu is but a part of a world
wide improvement in the Condition
of the toilers of the wrorld, the
working class, upon whom in the
la3t analysis depends the subsist
ence, the clothing, indeed 'he con
tinued existence of the human race
And the Oettorment in their condi
tions is only just beginning. With
the diffusion of knowledge among
them as to the importance of their j
labors and the power cf their
numbers it is certain they will not
remain content with the small
share alloted to them out of the re
Mtlis of their toil and their relative
unimportance in government.
THE MODERN PRAYER.
O almighty Dollar, our acknow
ledged governor, and benefactor, we
desire to approach thee with that
reverance which is thy due. Al
mighty Dollar without thee in the
world, we can do nothing, hut with
tlice, we can do all things. When
sickness lays its paralysing hand
upon us, thou Almighty Dollar can
secure for us the interests nurses,
ihe skillful physicians. When the
last Hr aggie of mortality is over
.—and we are borne to the grave—
thou Almighty Dollar canst secure
us a brass band, a military escort,
to accompany us thither; and last,
buf not least, erect a magnificent
monument over our graves, with a
living epitaph to perpetuate our
memory. Be with us, we pray thee
at all times, for thou art the only
one altogether lovely and chief
among ten thousand. When thou
art with us, how gleefully the
beefsteak fizzles on the gridiron,
how exuberantly the anthracite
glows upon the hearth3tonc; but
when thou art not with us, how
cold and cheerless the fireside,
how desolate the hearthstone. Lead
us, we pray thee, not into the val
ley of want, but shower upon us
unlimited numbers,of thy minister
ing angels, made in thy own image,
even though they be silver and
dimes—and abide with us until we
reach the golden shore, and with
crowns on our heads and harps In
our hands, sing thy pra.iso3 for
ever. In my pockets make thy
resting place.—I need thee every
hour. Amen.
UNCI.K SAM AM)
BROTHER JONATHAN.
BROTHER JONATHAN.—To me
it is very clear that the Socialist
program will go to smash against
the moral, the religious and the
law abiding sense of the American
people.
U. S.—Inasmuch as to which?
B. J.—Inashmuch as the moral,
the religious and the law-abiding
sense of the American people will
revolt against the idea of confisca
tion?
U. S.—Confiscation? For in
stance?
B. J.—The Socialists will, for in
stance, tell you point blank that
they mean to appropriate the rail
roads without indemnifying their
owners.
U. S.—Suppose they did?
B. J...That ic confiscation, and
confiscation is an immoral, an irre
ligious and an un-lav/abidlng act;
and no moral, religious and law
abiding people like the Americans
countenance such a thing.
U .S.— (after a pause)—What
is the name of the Austrian village
in which you were born?
B. J.— (very haughtily)—I want
you io understand that .tot only
was 1 born here and my parents,
too, but al1 my four grand-parents
weie born in this country; we are
of puie Mayflower, law-abiding, re
ligious extraction and New England
stock. «■ |
U. S.—Then you ail descend
lr< m the neighborhood where Bun
ker Hill Monument now stands?
B. J.—Exactly.
IT. S.—How much indemnity did
our# ancestors pay King George
(when they took the colonics away
from him?
B. J.—Indemnity? ! ?
XJ. S.—Ves, my sweat preacher
or sweet ‘‘religiousness ’ and “law
abidingi css ”—“indemnity.”
B. J.—You must be crazy.
U. S.—Were not our ancestors
["religious" and “law-abiding”?
B. J.—Certainly.
U. S.—Certainly.
U. S.—Did not King George own
those colonies.
U. S.—Certainly.
C. S.—And weren't they yanked
away from him?
B. J.—Certainly! And wasn't that,
right?
IT. S.—You see, I am a Social lit;
you are a perambulating lump of
1 anti-SocIaliam, which is to say, of
‘■religiousness” and “law-abiding
ness.” Tel! me how much indem
nity our ancestors paid King
George for having yanked his pro
perty from him? According to
you, for a people to take a thing
without giving the owner indemn
ity is “irreligious" and “un-law
abiding." King George owned the
colonies; they were taken from
him; and our ancestors who did the
taking were, as you declare, “reli
ous" and “law-abiding.” It follows
that they must have indemnified
him.
B. J.—remains stupefied.
U. S.—You don’t teem to hear
(yelling in his car)—The indemn
ity! The indemnity. How much in
demnity did King George get?
B. J.— (exasperated)—None! Hang
you; none.
U. S.—And yet our'ancestors
were religious and law-abiding!
B. J.—Stop bantering me. Tell
me how it is. I don’t quite under
stand it. Was it irreligious and
uh-law-abiding on the part of our
ancestors not to indemnify King
George? >
U. S.—No; it was right. If they
had, it would have been stupid and
criminal. You don’t indemnify the
highway robber for the stolen
goads you take back from him, do
you? *
B. J.—Nixy.
U. S.—Neither does a nation.
The question is imply this: Do the
American people need the railroads
to live? ir they do the railroads
can .be and must be appropriated,
just the same as the colonies were,
without indemnity. Moreover, such
appropriation is eminently just.The
present owners of the railroads and
all other machinery ,p.nd land
needed by the people, never pro
duced them. To take this property
is but to restore it lo its owners.
Deep dyed irreligousness and un
law-abidingness lies on the side of
the thieves who stole the people’s
heritage and are now seeking to
keep it, and on the side »of those
who seek to uphold the plunder
ers.—Weekly People.
