HE, WHO WASTES A
CRUST OF BREAD
PROLONGS THE
WAR
I XCliK SAM AND
BROTHER JONATHAN
BROTHER .1 (> N A T H A-N—H o re’s ti
judge down in Virginia declares thal
trade unions are Reasonable thal
they Violate the land’s fundamental
principle freedom; that they 1*e
strict their membership from hiring
themselves out for whatever wage>
they please; that, consequently, thej
ought to be smashed. What’s the mat
ter with this fellow? Js he a jack
4.1 ss?
l'NCI<E SAM—No, he is not a jack
.ass; he is simply a hired man of the
-capitalist class, put there by the capi
talist class of labor fleecers and the
labor fakers who act as lieutenants ol
the capitalist class to twist the Law
so as to get l^tbor always on the hip.
.and to blind its eyes w ith the dust of
freedom.
B. J.—Is that why?
lb S.—.You will admit that to pre
vent a man from selling his vote is
a restriction ot his freedom?
B J.—That it is.
lb S.—And you will admit that it
is propel- to put that restriction up
on him lest the suffrage be utterly
demoralized?
B. J.—I see that.
U S.—Accordingly, a “restriction ol
freedom" is aot in itself wrong. It
may be perfectly right. If by such
restriction the welfare of the com
mon wealth is preserved tihe restric
tion is beneficial.
B. J.—I see that.
U. S.—Accordingly, the question to
be considered in each j:mse is not the
abstract question of freedom of slav
ery. but the concrete question, whether
a specific action is good or bad If
It is good, then to restrict it is wrorug,
is to interfere with freedom; if it is
bad, then t)he restriction of it is right,
because freedom aims at the happiness
of the masses, no act that would in
terfere with that promotes freedom.
B. J. nods assent.
U. S.—Now, then, test the action
of a bona fide trade union by that
l/'taciple. IKo you not see that if
one man is willing to work for lower
wages than others he thereby lowers
the happiness of all? .If that one man
chooses to cut off his own nose no one
might interfere. But if the cutting
off his own nose would compel others
t.o |do likewise', then his operation
ceases to be his private business-, and
becomes the business of all others.
Ain’t it?
11. J.-—Yes, by Jove. But why, then,
is that judge so dead set againstit
1'. 8.—For the reason I have al
ready given you. He is not deciding
on abstract opinion of freedom. lie
pretends to; but that is only swindle.
What he is deciding is a concrete
question of happiness.
B. .1.—Why. then he should not he
against it, but for it.
IT. s.—Not so He <s a capitalist
official. He therefore interprets things
from the standpoint of capitalist in
terests. The action of these unions
would cause them to receive hig' or
wages. Now, where* do wages conic
from?
I!. J. - They come from the product
of labor.
I*. S.—And where do the profits of
the capitalist come from?
15, ,1.—-Also from the product of
labor.
la S—Does it not, then, follow that
the higher the wages of the working
people, the lower must he tIre profits
of the idle capitalist class?

B .J. (striking his forehead)—
That’s so!
U. S.—Now you will understand why
that judge decides as he does He is
deciding in the interest of the class
that he represents—the capitalist class.
The interests of that class are Ho dc
, moralize the working class so as to
j keep from them ever larger slices of
! the worker’s product. Hence he de
clares that the conduct o fthese unions
is repugnant to freedom; and so it is
—to the freedom of his fleecing class
of capitalists. '
r It. J.—But that’s horrible.
U. S.—So it is land won’t be oth
erwise until the workingmen kick
these capitalists out of the public of
fices and elect the Socialist Labor
Party Then freedom will be inter
perted tlie other way, the right way.
FIVE AMP FIFTY
If fifty men did all the work
And gave the price to five
And let those five make all the rules
You’d say the fifty men were fools
Unfit to be alive.
And if you heard complaining cries
From fifty brawny men
Blaming the five for graft and greed,
: Injustice, cruelty indeed—
J What would you call them then?
i
| Not by their own superior force
| Do five on fifty live,
i But by election and assent,
And privilege and government,
Powers that the fifty give.
If fifty men are really fools
And five have all the brains.
The five must rule as now we find;
But if the fifty have the mind—
Why don’t they take the reins?
—A Suffren Geate.

TONIGHT
Tonight’s the night. Tonight,, be
fore whac is predicted will be a
record audience of Nome’s lovers of
good clean sport. Fort Davis will
lock horns with Nome's defenders.
Although Nome’s team of’Vets’
have had the most experience, the
Fort Davis boys will give them a
hard run for the money. And with
the Dame-Thompson biattery the
Fort boys ought to bring home the
bacon. Little need be said about
the wrestlers as the match will as
the saying goes “speak for itself”.
In the principal event of the even
ing the audience will witness one
of the fastest, cleanest games of
basketball ever played in Eagle Hall.
Both teams have been training for
several weeks for this event and are
in execellent condition. In this
game the High School “young
bloods” are quite evenly matched
against the “All Sars” team of vets
Those on till inside say that the
High school has a slight advantage
The line-ups will be the same as
have already been announced.

Good, clean, comfortable bed-, by
the day, week or month, at the

I*’irst thing we know we're going to have a Hone Dry country
out ami out. Already the mighty prohibition wave is engulfing
“demon rum" and the flood gates of righteous antagonism against
John Barleycorn is going to sweep him into everlasting oblivion.
Thousands of men in the country over are going to shortly find it
Impossible to get their daily, most of them their hourly “nips”
and those fellows are going to look up the best bottled drink they
can get to wet their whistles with. They are not going to “get
off" booze, and drink any pink “tea slop” Oh no—they want
something with a delightful relish—a sparkle and a zest and the
AKSAhA drink is going to fill the bill to a T-Y-T. Weis every
spot in the internal arid district, soaks it down good. No dust
left in your throat after'a bottle of A KSA LA For sale every
