Fernie Miss All Events—Crowds Come From East and West- Weather Glorious—Road Hogs Scrambling for "Two-Bits" Prove a - Nuisance . Tbe weather -has favored Fernie this ye&r for aU i celebrations, and Wednesday wae voted by 'all ideal. Beautifully, bright and sunny with enough breeze stirring to keep the «ir cool, tbere waa only one objection*, and that, the dust. The (Weather, however, can scarcely be blamed for the dust clotads that from time to time obscured the road to the park and made traveling for women with buggies and little children both unpleasant and dangerous. Oni several occasions we noticed Ut- • tie children bad narrow escapes from | the road bogs, "who, sweating, raving and cursing, in their desire to grab -every cent possible, tore up and down the1 road in. frenzied haste. Thle is,a moat abominable ead disgusting atate of, affairs, aad was the only, feature that marred the day's .pleasure for many who visited tbe park. No doubt tbere are ma-ay who appreciate the convenience of riding to tbe park from the city, but'the road was never built to be hogged ln the manner It waa on Wed-neaday, and in' future pedestrians would be conferring a -boon upon society If tbey took (he matter of checking this in their own hands. It is, however, the duty of the authorities to aee that there is no repetition of this business and possibly the mayor or police commissioners will, in spite of the'culprit's position, give this matter at tentdon. (The midnight train and also the 10:34 .passenger brought a number in from the east, while the west contingent arrived on the early , morning train. The crowd did not appear to be ao great as on- May lBt, but should estimate that quite 2500 people -were present on the grounds at one time. The Athletic Association's receipts from the gate were about $650. Of the sports it may be said that they were the most successful ever beLd.4n_EeEnie,-aBd-altheugh-con-test- er/s from the city were unfortunate in ih& ma!n evewts, they may console themselves that they gave a thoroughly enjoyable day's outing to the visitors, who secured most of the "wad," There rwaa lots to entertain the visitors lu the evening.

Will the individual who bas this, please take note that if same Is not returned within three days, police will be notified to prosecute? The Boxing Contest :Tbe .preliminary that preceded the main event was between Kid Brown of Great Falls, •Montana, and Young Dunlap of Blairmore. This was u pretty three round bout, and both boy£ dSd some clever boxing, the last rqund being a rare mill, and eliciting applause from the audience. Joe Uvanni entered the ring at 9:25 for tbe-main event, and Billy Weeks appeared about twelve minutes later. George O'Brien, Fernie, acted as official referee, and in introducing the contestants, stated1 that the bout waB to decide tbe middleweight champion- snip of Canada, and also stated that ■Dick 'Marshall, who appeared in the ring, was ready to box the winner. The boys got started shortly before 10 o'clock, and the fight lasted six minutes. From the opening of the first round it was apparent to all that Weeks was out for business. Leading with a heavy left to the body, he forced* Uvanni to clinch , but soon broke. Uvanni drove left to face, but blow lacked steam, while \Veek3 came back witb a vicious upper cut that was blocked by Uvanni, but uot before Weeks had landed right. The latter was tbe fastest and cleverest of ihe two, while he bad a knockout in either hand. Uvanni went down after two mlhutes fighting , but was quickly on his feet again,- Weeks rushed hia ™ian-to-™6-rop€B;T3ut"COuluTiot'i1n1snr A heavy exchange took place, and Uvanni received a heavy left haude", which knocked him down for the second'time, and no doubt the/call of time saved what would otherwise have been a one round fight Uvanni came back for the second round looking none too good, and was quickly iu difficulties. He tried 'to, hang on, bul Weeks avoided' these" tactics and held his man off. placing blow after blow under the ribs and over tho heart. A heavy right haader caused the Italian, to swing and as he fame back, Weeks landed the knockout, a straight solar plexus punch. Uvanni went down and a shout was mado ror a foul, but the referee counted him out, and gave the fight to Weeks. Uvanni had a few pounds the best of tbe weight.

His honor suggested tbat it would be advisable for the various counsels representing the crown, coal company and the miners to get together and decide upon some plan on which the inquiry should proceed. This suggestion was adopted and the commission adjourned to allow counsel to retire and hold a, conference and decide what evidence should be taken first. The court adjourned at 11:30 to meet at 2 o'clock, it being understood and arranged that the surveyor would be there to explain matters in connection with the plans submitted, also the several witnesses to give evidence relative to the location of bodies found in the mines by tbe rescue parties. The court reconvened at 2 o'clock. First witness called was Mr. Wm.

All these officials were present. Mr. Campbell said that he had npt yet subpoenaed any witnesses, but that he had power to do so and thrft every effort would be made to find those witnoses who could throw most light on the disaster. Maps of the mine had been provided, and Inspector Stirling, cduef mine inspector for the Alberta Government would be called to give the results of the investigations mnde by bim in th*? interior of the mine after the explosion. Mr. Palmer explained to the oourt that inasmuch as Mr. Norman Frazer had not been able to maku a full inspection of the minos. owing to the fact that there were certain parts of the mine they had lieen unable to got into,, that he thought the inquiry should bc adjourned until Mr. Frazer had completed his inspection and was in a position to give a roport.

He was.amongst the first of the rescue party and related the positions that the many bodies were ih when the rescuers got into tho mine. On cross-examination he said that; he had worked in several mines in the Pass, and from his experience ho was of the opinion tliat the mine was not what may be consider**! a dusty mine, but when pressed on this point would only mention Frank and Canmore as being more prevalent in this direction.

The archduke was hit full in the face and the princess was shot through, the abdomen and throat. The wounds proved fatal in a few minutes after reaching the -paJace. Those responsible for the assassination took care that it should prove ef- .-tsciive, as there were two assaillants, the first armed witb a bomb and the latter with a revolver. The bomb was thrown at the royal automobile aa it was 'proceeding to.the town ball, where a reception waa to be held, but the archduke saw the deadly missle coming and warded it off with his arm. It fell outside the car and exploded, slightly wounding two aide-de-oamps in a second car and half a dozen spectators. It waa on ttite return of the procession that the tragedy was added' to the long llet of those tbat have darkened the pages of the recent history of the Hapsburgs. When the royal automobile readhed a prominent point In ihe route to the palace an eighth grade student, Gavrio Prinzlp, sprang out of tbe crowd and ipoured a fusllade of bullets trom an automatic pistol at the archduke and princess and both fell mortally wounded. 'Prtnzlp.and a fellow conspirator, a compositor from Treblnjen, named Gabrivonic-s, barely escaped lynching by the infuriated spectators and were finally seized by tbe police, who afforded them protection. Both men are natives of the annexed province of Uerzegovinla. Tbe first attempt against the archduke occurred juat outside the girls' high school. Tbe archduke's cars bad restarted after a brief pause for an inspection of the building, when Gab- rinovlcs hurled the bomb.

There has been a deal of comment over the accident, and the action of Aldorman Robi- chaud, who it ls alleged countermanded the instructions of the city engineer (Wm. Ramsey). While the jury were of the opinion that the Alderman may have acted ln what he considered the best interests of the city, nevertheless tbey saw fit to censue his action, and did so in very plain language. Th e evidence painly showed that hod the instructions of tbe city engineer been carried out there is every probability tbat tbe accident would have been avoided. The Inquest was opened by Coroner Wilkes at tbe Provincial courthouse on Friday night, when, after viewing the >body the proceedings were adjourned until 'Monday night. The following were selected to serve on the jury: Geo. 'Barton (foreman), J. B. Marsham, Wm. McGIaddrey, W. A. Worthington, George -Bowen, James Woods. , Fred G. Perry acted as court court stenographer. ■ The first witness, A. D. McDonald, teamster ln the fire department', sworn, stated that he was present at the time the body was pulled out of the water, and Identified the body as that of George Lyons. Questioned as to how he knew that this was the deceased, MoDonald stated that he recognized the body by certain teeth, the color of hair, shape of bead and a watch that was found in the overalls. The next witness, William Ramsay, city engineer, sworn, stated that be bad given instructions that the stumps be placed about 30 feet back from tbe river, and that when he gave these instructions he had in view -the possi. bility that they -might be used as a background for a cribbing at somo later date. He did not give any instructions that the stumps were to be dumped into the ' river, neither could he swear that other Instructions wnro given. Ho was in charge of the JKork**. Jlr.

Tho archduke's successor as heir to the throne, Archduke Charles Francis, ls likewise a poutar figure in England and other countries. He represented Austria at the coronation ot King George as Archduke Francis Ferdinand would not attend because his wife could not take her place by his side.

A son was bom to a poor 'peasant. Tbe peasant was very Gappy and asked his neighbor to be godfather to the new horn child. But the neigh- -bor was not pleased- with the thought of being godfather to a poor boy and refused to come. One after the other tbe 'poor peasant visited every* house in he village, but every one of the villagers refused. Anxious to have his son baptized, the poor peasant decided to try his iuck in a neighboring village. On his way there he met a stranger. "Good day, my good man," the stranger greeted him. "Whither are \ you bound?" i--k-k1t*nit-kkkkk-kkkkk**kkkkkkkkAkkk*kk*kkk-kkkkitklc-kir-kirkkick-k godchild walked for some time through the open fields, when he met a stranger. "Good afternoon to you, my dear boy," said -the stranger, "Where are you going in the open fields?" "I am .going to look ior -my godfather, for I have never seen him yet, though I have grown to be a big boy, I" bave made up my mmd to walk until I find him." , "I am your godfather," the stranger informed him. "Oh, I'm .so glad I have met you," exclaimed the boy, then added, ";May I go along with you?

Knock at the gate and ask to see the merchant. When he conies ask him to let his daughter he godmother to your son." "How dare I. a poor peasant,;ask the rich man's daughter to be godmother to my son?" asked the peasant. "J am almost sure he will refuse me, as did my own villagers." "Vou needn't worry about what he will say. Jijst go and do as I tell you. and get ready to baptize your son tomorrow morning; I'll be there on time.' til you come to a large forest. In tho forest you -will find a "clearing. Sit down there and rest youTself while you take note of everything you see] there-. When you are rested you will' walk on -toward the east until you come fo a wonderful garden in the middle of which stands my house. I will meet you at the gate." With these words, the stranger dis-j appeared. IV. The pexl day the boy followed the ddreotions given him by his godfather, and, after walking for about half of the day, finally came to the forest, found the clearing and sat down to!At her son's call the rest. Jn the center of the cleaning he land shouted for help noticed a big fir tree to the" top of wblch, hanging on a strong rope, was attached a heavy cldb, and right un- He looked back once more and recognized his father's field with its stacks of rye and wbeat. Suddenly his ear detected a sound of rolling wheels "I suppose It's father coming Dor the sheaves," thought' the godchild*. He gazed eagerly in the direction of the approaching wagon, ln the hQjge of getting a glimpse of his (father, but but the man in the wagon was not Ms father, it was Vasiley Kudrash, the village thief. "Father!" shouted the excited boy. "Father! Vasiley is going to steal our crop!" "I've dreamt that some one Is stealing our sheaves." ^muttered the poor peasant, sitting up in bed at the ssound of his son's cry. He dressed hurriedly, mounted his horse and galloped away to the fields, getting there just as Vasiley was through loading the .wagon. The ggflcblld's father took bold of the thief, beat him black and blue and' then delivered bim over to the village authorities. The godcMld next turned his eyes upon the city, where lived his godmother. He saw iffat she was fast asleep, while her busbaud was having a good time in bad company. "Wake -up, godmother!" shouted the anxious god-child.- "Wake up, your husband is in bhd company." The godmother woke up, found her husband in bad company and drove hiini from her house. ., The boy now '.-uriwd his eyes upon his own bomo—there w;>.i his mother fast asleep while a burglar was breaking into the house, about to steal their only trunk of clothes. Wake up, mother!" called the boy. mother woke The burglar Here the stranger, took leave of thej unde it a trough filled with honeys peasant, who went to, the city to find While the .boy was wondering what the rich merchant. After'a long walk i it was there for, he heard heaw foot- some inquiries, and many unpleasant j steps. replies, the poor peasant found, at lust, the rich merchant's house. "What can I do for you, my dear man?'" asked the merchant of the poor peasant. "You see, Mr- Merchant," replied the peasant, "the Lord has iblessed me with a son. A gift of pleasure In may young days, of comfort when I grow old, and something to be remembered by when I am dead. Nobody wanted to be godfather to my son. At last I have met a stranger who is willing to come. Will you let your daughter be the godmother?" "Very well, my good men," replied! the -merchant. "Go home, my daughter will be there in good time." The*next morning the godfather and godmother came tn the noor neajtant's hut, took the child to church, had It baptized and returned it to the father. This done, the godfather disappeared without leaving any trace of bis identity. ■" II. Strong, obedient, bright and willing! to work, the boy, In time -grew to he a real blessing to his parents. At school he learned in one year what It took other five years/ to accomplish. One day, when he had grown quite big, It occurred to him, after a visit to his godmother, that he would also , like to visit his godfather. "If you would only tell me whero my godfather lives, 1 would go over to see him," said the godchild to his -parents. As he turned, around he saw a mother bear with her four young cubs coming out of the thicket and walking straight toward the trough, The mother (bear sniffed the odor of the honey, and, coming up close to tbe trough, bent her bead to tests some of it, but the heavy club hanging overhead was in her way. She pushed it aside with her forepaw and called to the young ones to come near. The little cubs stuck their noses Into tbe trough just as the heavy club swung back right over the unsuspecting mother bear and her children, striking them over the bead and back.'....* .',, Growling from pain, the cubs left th© tjxmgh. while the mother bear raised herself on her hind l«ga^jnnA raised bis hatchet and wanted to kill her. In the flash of a moment her boy lifted bis magic staff and1 'hit the burglar over the head, killing him on the spot. v. i Xo sooner had the 'burglar dropped than the wals came together once more and the mysterious ctaaipber looked the same as when the godchild first-entered. The door opened and admitted the godfather. Silently be walked up to the ithrone, took the boy by the hand and led bim down on the -floor. "You did wrong my <boy," be said than you did me by disobeying my order not to enter this room. You sinned for the second time when you walked up on the throne and took the stiaff iu your bands; your third mistakewas made .whon you, unwillingly, added more bitterness to tbls hard world. Had you remained there much longer you would have ruined half, of the people." He then took his catching hold ot the Cub. swung It back with such force that it almost flew up to the very tree top. The Ub tie cub came back to the trough and sweet honey, but Just as they commenced to lick it, down came the heavy club for the second time: killing the youngest of tbe cubs outright, nnd severely hurting the others. Witb a maddened snarl the mother bear raised herself once more on her bind legs, and using her whole strength, threw back the club. Up, up flew the heavy club, the rope com menced to crack.-the tree shook and j still the club kept flying up above the very top of the fir. _ Watching Its flight for a brief mo- Vve~do "not^know'ourseivesT'd^!*«a^.^..^»eri.l^_p._fir^..,m*lI..t0 boy, where your godfather lives," re- • plied tbe poor peasant, "for no one lias seen him since the day when you were baptised," "Then let me try to find-him," ■pleaded the boy. "I am anxious to know him and ought to go." After some persuasion on the boy's pan and objection on the father's, the boy was finally allowed to start out In j search of his godfather. III.

The club had meanwhile reached the limit of Its flight and was now coming back-—at fimt slowly, then swifter and swifter, until It finally came down like a thunderbolt over the head of the mother bear. She turned a sommersault, gave a heart, rending roar and fell dead, white the three frightened cubs disappeared Into the thicket. The godchild gazed in bewilderment .j,.. at the whole occurrence, sat tbere for "a while longer and, remembering his {godfather's instruction, went on hts {way. He walked for another few , hours and finally came to the wonderful garden tn the middle of which stood a beautiful palace, The godfather met him near the gate, greeted him with much affection and took bim Into tbe garden. The boy looked all about bim Iu awe —not even in his dreams bad be ever 1 imagined such n place. ) From the garden the godfather took 1 him Into the palace. It was even more wonderful, more magnificent than tho esrien. The godfather took him from j chamber to chamber, each one more ' h'.-HtHf!'! Mimu tlw ffiritm"- ttntt! ttwf j reached a sealed «door.

Before long a nujnber of peasants came on the .run, each dn tuimrjiingjto drive tbe calf out of the -field. v „ They nan, shotted and hooted, but aH their-efforts only served -to drive tbe skipping calf further an^ further into tbe thick of the field, crushing the tall rye and wheat in its frolic. Oa the road stood an old woman, who -was crying and vainly talMng Up the excited peasants—she .was the owner of the calf and feared tbat the peasants would kill it in the mad race. "See here," said the godchild to the angry .peasants. "If you would take my advice you would all of you get out of that field and let that woman call her calf. I am almost sure that it will come In answer to her call." Taking this advicfe, the peasants backed out toward tbe road, while tbe woman sat down on her beels, took a piece of bread in her hand and called: 'Tiruci! Tiruoi! Tiruct!" The calf stopped, raised its ears, listened for a moment of two and turning about ray straight to its owner. All were very grateful to the godchild for his advice and thanked him for it. Even the calf ffoelf, seeming glad of -its delivery,, sniffed at his sleeve. "I am beginning to understand,' •mused the godchild while continuing his journey, "Hiat you cannot lessen ev-11 by doing evil. It "seems that the more people try to drive out evil by doing evil, tbe more does evil grow, But—-bow in the world is one to lessen It? It was well In this case that the calf came in answer to the woman's call, but suppose it hadn't? How were the peasants to drive it out of the field without using force?" Tnable to find a way ot lessening evil, life sighed1 and moved on.in the hope of learning it all iu good time. VII. At night he knocked at a peasant's hut and asked permission to stay over night. Tbfe kind housewife took Mm in, gave his a place to sleep and he went to rest at once. Unable to fall asleep, be -watched 'the .peasant woman, who was cleaning up her house for alioiiday, whioh was the next day. She swept, dusted, scrubbed the floor and finally began to wash the table. She washed it for a short while, then picked up a dirty towel from a chair and commenced to wipe the table with it, She wiped and wiped and still the table seemed as dirty as ever. She tried first one end, then teh other, ■wiped first lengthwise, then crosswise, and still the table looked as dirty as ever. l "Wbat are you doing, my good woman?" asked the godchild finally. "As you See," replied the woman with temper; "I have been cleaning the house, but do what I may, this table-will not get clean, though I bave •been at It for the longest while." "I would wash that towel first, and tben wipe the table with it." advised the godchild. The woman took his advice, washed- out the towel thoroughly and wiped the table clean in no time. The next morning he took leave o'f bis grateful hostess and continued Ms "Plant them into the -moist ground,", ordered tbe -hermit. "Do you see that\brook near yonder mountain?" asked tho 'hermit iwhen the sticks-were planted, \ "Go. over there," be ordered- th© godchiild, "take a mouthful of water and bring it here. Tben water tbe first stump, while thinking bow you taught tbe houspwife , to wash her towel clean before wiping tbe table. Then go back to the brook and bring another mouthful of water and water the -second stump, -, bearing in mind wbat you advised tbe hoopmakers in order to lighten their 'burden, tben go for the third mouthful and water the third stump, remembering how .ytou taught the cattle dealers to build their •bonfire." / "The day that the three stumps take root and send' fortb shoots tbat day your sins will be forgiven." The hermit, went back to his but and the godchild went to carry tiie mouthful of water, still puzzled and unable to undestand the meaning of tbe beranit's words.

This done, he went back to t-he -hermit's but for food and rest. When "tlie remit did' not answer bis knock the godchild pushed back the door and entered, only to find that the hermit lay dead on his bench. The godchild -looked,, about ithe humble but, found: some dry biscuits, moistened 'them with spring water and uuade bis meal on them. He next found a spade, and going out into the forest commenced to dig a grave for .the hermit. Thus did he live for several days, carrying the water in Ws mouth for the burnt stumps at night and digging che grave by day. Just as be had finished digging tbe grave and waa about to bury the hermit, the villagers came to the hut bringing' for the hermit his weekly supply of biscuits. On finding that f their old teacher wao dead they helped the godchild bury him, blessed tbe godchiild and elevated bim to the -position formerly Jield in their minds by the hermit. They gave him the supply of .biscuits and left,'promising to come back soon, The godcMld took up bis abode in the hermit's but, living on wbat the kind village folic brought him, and continuing to water his charred stumps. This was noticed by some of j the villagers. The manner of watering those stumps added more mystery to the godchild's origin and the ■plain vUlage people soon thought bim to be a holy man and came to him tor advice and blessing. In a snort wane crowds started to come from far and near; old and young, rich and poor, all sought tho holy hermit. They brought bim food and costly presents,-but he kept for himself only what be absolutely heeded, tbe .rest be distributed among the sick and the suffering.

Box 22, Phone 23, cries of patriotism and civic virtue. One bad only to pay a little attention to the history of the leaders of tliis "cult' to realize what a hollow sham it is. Colorado today Is not in need' ot legislation, tout no country on God's green earth is more sadly in need of more law. , The unhappy labor troubles that have been disturbing the peace and hampering the progress ol the State, can be traced wholly to the flagrant disregard for the law, which has characterized the operations of the coal companies. These people Lave treated with contempt all laws on the statute books, which have been pUced there to -prevent tbem unjustly exploiting labor. Tbe political domination in Las Animas ahd Huerfano counties has been known for years. ,The very churches of the land have been invad- ey by these interests. Immigration has been so handled that there was a constant supply of emigrants "on hand, whose ignorance of living conditions made them ready tools of these merciless tyrants. Periodical strikes have taken place, and was the present strike patched up" ani the operators allowed another chance of working the tbe same disreputable game that they always- have worked, there is every reason to believe that it would only be a -question of time till another outbreak took placet — The wholesale indictment of miners and charging them with conspiracy to murder, and at the same time the palpable immunity of the operators from all prosecution, in face of the fact that tbey hired criminals, bought and shipped in arms, and machine guns, manufactured cannon at their Pueblo steel works and that their gunmen have committed murder after murder, and are still at large, caused that feeling of hopelessness to arrive at a settlement of grievances by constitutional means, which broke out on the 20th of April lfcst. All the talk about maintaining the law and supremacy of the State is nothing but idle chatter. Had the State done its duty and administered the law, as it should have done, and as tbe -people of tbe State had a right to demand it should be administered, the-trouble .would, never have taken place. We sowed to the wind and reaped the whirlwind. Had Colorado, even after these things had happened, been blessed u-ltli a faw man fnr disl.rlct-.Attnrnf-y- REVOLUTION tlu \iiae the willing tool of corporate pa-', d. ."-.Vi'-.t election will see.organized labor w.te more solidly than ever before iu tin: history of the coutnry. All party lines are gone forever. The .political bunch that has passed as real currency for so lopg is at a big discount. The trickster and the middle of the road man has lost his chances of hoodwinking the people. '7 a ■■ After the weary months of fighting after everything that unllmted wealth, unscrupulous lawyers and the whole for6e of the State militia -could do has been done, against the miners* cause, the outlook for tun and complete success was never better than it is today. There can now be no question at all that victory wilt soon crown the efforts of these people from the coal camps, who have stood so nobly for tbe betterment of labor conditions. It's true that many a coal disser in Colorado hasT during the last whiter," had'-to go short of what waa his rightful due in the way of comfort, but compare his condition with that of the coal, operators hanging around afraid of their shadows, looking more like hunted criminals than business men. The condition that John D. Rockefeller and his son find themselves In today, is worse than that o-f the poorest striking miner. The one has the "sympathy of thel vast majority of his fellow human beings, 'llie other, despised and loathed by- everyone not paid to pretend otherwise, afraid to look any one man in the face. With all their advantages, excelling only in the amount of their ill-gotten gains and the fact that they are the,-most despised and loathed human beings In existence. On all sides can be seen signs that will bring about a lasting peace-, and when it does come, It will be in spite of and not from any assistance rendr- ed by the so-called "law and order" party, whose efforts to hide their sln^ ister motives behind high sounding titles have heen so thoroughly exposed. - With this peace, will come the elimination of the hired liar* and professional thug, and with the passing of these two classes or undesirable citizens, and it will include quite a number, Colorado will be In a position to stake her rightful -position as one of the most prosperous states in tho I'nlon. The lac-song lpnrnprl hy n***art,*,ttiorl Rebellion rears its grim and gory head above the horizon ot society in these United: States of Barbarism. Horror .blanches the rotund faces of .the ruling class.' Something sinister and terrible is impending. * The inemory of the tragic days of 1789 In France grow vivid under condition that portend en outburst^eyen more violent and fatal than that which hurled from--power the fat and insolent aristocracy of France under Uie sway of Louis XV. . As in France in 1789, when an out; raged, plundered and brutalized hour- geoise rose in revolt and wrought a vengeance upon the ruling class more terrible than words can describe, so now, in these United States, the omens presage an equal vengeance upon the same class by tbe suffering toilers. ■■• *,"'." Revolt is ;here—and will not down! Not even can the army and navy and all other ^powers of brutal force vested in government quench its far-sweeping flames. Its f Jerces lie-at is yet pent up in bounds of restraint. ■But, like the hurrying fire that siz- les along a fuse attached to a plant of dynamite, the sparks of revolt are sputtering in a thousand places, all speeding on toward a social cataclysm such as the world has never seen— such a one as will relegate that of France in 1789 to a mere flash. So Dives treniblei in fear for protection. He calls to his puppets in high places in tbe Government to buttress him against the punishment he merits. He pleads for guards with guns and bayonets to save his skin and horde. - v A -■-..* * * ,' Long years—hateful, tearful, filled with woe and want and pain— stretched out into the twilight pf the past And all the while the well-fed, linely habilitated class, riding In ease and luxury, on the backs of the tollers, spared but a few paltry crumbs from the table of Plenty for the stomach of Want, Meanwhile, also, the death-head of Starvation leered grewsotnely from the foul shadows ojf the slums. Life gobbed low. Thousands, then tens of thousands, then hudreds of thousands of the robbed iworking class pleaded with and begged of and finally cursed the Class Above. The class above, in a riot of wine and feasting and sumptuous gaiety, pillaged and plundered and despoiled the Class Below—the toiling masses- Which of Them ?

No I can't give her away for anything. "Should I give Jenka away?' I caa*t for a minute think * of giving Jenka away. She's such a weak child—railways ailing.

Many, .speeches liave been ■ printed ftnd much printer's ink used up in (he discussion of why they should or should not be _ peri Wed to land bn Canadian soil. They -who are in favor of their entry express themselves somewhat in this strain: "They are British subjects who ..have fought to maintain the prestige of the flag and now are forbidden to participate in the enjoyment of their rights." If these individuals who repeat parrotlike the utterances of the capitalistic press -wouM pause long enough to allow an original thought to germinate in their own brains, they might, ask themselves this 'question: "Ts"itnot strange the couijtry these Hindus have fought for is not good enough for them to live in? They are compelled to look farther afield for an opportunity of earning the means of livelihood even at the risk of forfeiting that, which they cherish so dearly, viz.: their caste. Why is this V / Who is objecting to the admission of these immigrants? Members of the working class and the small business man.

The entipathy to the Hindu is economic, not racial, If these people were'to'come into Canada and demand higher rate of pay for certain classes of work than do the white workers and positively refuse to work unless their demands were granted,, thc white workers would he loud in their praise of such an action. This Rounds all 0. K. as a theory, but in actual practice is palpably an absurdity. Tlie only reason why employers of labor will hire 'knows full well that if the Hindu obtains a foothold, his (the merchant's) opportunity to dispose of his wares with profit to himself-will gpadually fade away into nothingness. The Hindu is not only a cheap worker, but among them there" are those who possess the commercial instinct equally as strong as does the white business man, and knowing the requirements of their countrymen, could cater to them more satisfactorily than their Caucasian compeer. This is the reason why we see the small business man allying himself with the white wage-earner in demanding that these would- be immigrants shall be shipped back to their native land. There is not a shadow of doubt that this is a problem for the politician that makes him wonder how he may wiggle out of it and at the same time nol affect his own prestige. The British Government is between the devil and the deep sea. If these. Hindus are kept out. of Canada (British territory) and returned to their own country, where the feeling against British rule is growing daily, the flames of sedition will lie .fanned perhaps into a blaze, whilst, on the other hand, ■there are the western Canadians to be dealt with. Once let tlie Hindus reach the conclusion that they are only kept under because of their caste distinctions, determine to co-operate with their countrymen in governing themselves—then, indeed, is it a serious outlook for the present ruling class retaining their power. Whether the Hindu worker would be any better off under native rule is a debatable question, but the march of vents is not stayed in its course because it does not* meet with the approval of those who prefer to be classed among the standpats, HOSMER NOTES ♦ COAL CREEK-NOTES gaaisigigjaiaisisiaiaiajajsisjajsjsi The mines' worked steady all-last week, and resumed work on Sunday' at midnight.

"Difficulty in .securing competent miners is being experienced in some sections of Alberta and British Columbia and the Spokane employment agents are being called upon to furnish such help. Aside from the drawback encountered in the amount of railroad fare to the job. the employment, agents have little trouble in filling the orders for Alberta, but with British Columbia it is differnt. The order in council from the immigration authorities keeping non-citizens of Canada outlof British Columbia is being rigidly enforced now, and it is said there are few Canadian miners to be found in this part of the country. "Some laborers and skilled mechanics are still £inuingnt'possible"to^et^cros*rthe^inB7^oweveTr and it is expected that this city will be called upon tb furnish most of the southern aud central part of British Columbia with such help for the greater part of the summer.*' We don't know who is responsible for this canard, and scarcely like to blame the person in charge of the sheet, but when we mention that the cutting was handed us in the Hosmer mines wash- house by a man who, along wilh the 500 other employes, was just pulling out of the abandoned camp, the irony of this absurd nnd lying statement can be appreciated.

The .bodies ef the seventeen American soldiers who fell at Vera Cruz were brought-back to these shores on a special cruiser and received- off the Virginia coast by Secretary Daniels of the navy ln the President's yacht, the Mayflower. President Wilson paid a tribute of honor in behalf of tbe nation to the fallen bluejackets, and tbe whole administration at Washington wae moved to Join ln the funeral demonstration. (Why such extraordinary honor to these bumble soldiers? It there not something remarkable in the faot that a national demonstration is made over a few bluejackets who went down to Mexico to kill and Instead were killed themselves? Ah, there Is a purpose in lauding these common workmen who, had tbey been killed In a coal mine instead of shot while Invading another country, would not have been lauded as heroes of immortal glory. They died fighting for Rockefeller and- bis class, and as this class Is supported by military power, they must show tbe American youth how glorious h Is to die for their country, so' mat cney too may enlist and have the privilege of being shot full of cold lead to protect Rockefeller's Interest* In iMei- Iro and being brought back on a special rrut«*r and burled tn flowers and lauded by the President himself for their Immortsl patriotism. 8ucli an- the heroes under capitalism.

Now, as this was the product of a good many circulars to the International office, it ts apparent that the increase was not given very freely, and from Information received ■perviously on the question, the circular did not contain all facts, and our secretary iwas instructed to notify them of such. Our pit committee, made a trip to Blairmore to interview -the general manager over a number of grievances. They came away satisfied that their trip had 'been productive of much good on our .behalf, and if-the fulfill their, promise to send down the surveyor to mark out a suitable spot to ibe use as a cemetery, they will be supplying a long-felt need. Not that the death roll I® very heavy here, nor do ive -want It to hs. but when death" does visit us, as things are at present, we are put to too ' much inconvenience and expense.

The usual crowd of Bankhead rooters were . in attendance, though f he' elements were very much against watermelon picking, the train leaving Bankhead in a blinding snowstorm. Exshaw won the toss and elected to kick with the wind, which was almost a cyclone. The 'ball was in Bankhead- teritory most of the first half, aud only the good kicking by Ed.

And he owns enough of other securities of .pubile service corporations to make him the most formidable factor in tbe -business life of America. Rockefeller's ffroflis from public service corporations can fairly he guessed at .when it ds known that the people in the cities pay more than one billion dollars a year'for light, heat and local transportation, and that Rockefeller and Standard Oil own the largest share in most of these corporations. Standard Oil has reached all over the world for investments und power, and its influence iu other countries is almost as great as in the United States. It recently formed n .business partnership with the Chinese Government, under which it will exploit the mineral resources of c large part of China. It has already taken millions out of that country and its investments there now exceed $20,000,000. Its shareholders are lending the Chinese Government $20,000,000 to finance an engineering contract -with an affiliated company. Standard Oil spent $5,500,000 jecent- ly for more oil lands in'Mexico; where it purchased 'tht property of the M&- derps, and it paid $9,000,000 for oil lands in .'Louisiana a few years ago. Standard Oil has more than $200,000,- 000 invested in countries outside tbe United States, and its influence and Investments are constantly growing! Her fleet of ocean-going vessels is larger than the United ,States navy, and when ships are running through the -Panama canal Standard Oil will supply them iwith fuel oil from a pipe line stretched across the Isthmus. As a financial factor. 'Standard Oil is the greatest power in the civilized world. The combined wealth of Rockefeller and his associates is greater than that of tht Rothschilds, and it has been produced' in only one generation. Their influence is sufficient to overthrow the Gqvernment and destroy civilization itself. Even the mighty Morgan was subordinate to Standard Oil during the latest years of his life, no large financial undertaking .being possible "without their co-operation or support. Harriman, Brady and Whitney were all part of the Standard Oil money-making ' inn- chine. Not one of them could survive a large financial transaction without Standard Oil backing. Ryan, Doian, Widener and Elklns, traction and 'gas magnates, were part of the Standard Oil combination, and even the mighty -jitinesr7rTiHrYfirTifo"great tnjratwFSir must bow to the will of Rockefeller. There has been no such power in all the civilized world as 'that possessed by Standard Oil, and the question now Is what can 'be done to restore the balance in America. Standard Oil and Rockefeller dominate the business life of the country. They control education through the colleges they endow and they guide the affairs of religion through -the churches they support and the ministers they pension. They control even the voice of the press through ehe power of adverfcls- press through the power of advertls- can survive without their favor.—'Appeal to Reason. _% until their revolt has been crushed GlSPSISISISli^ submission. Brute force rules the day, and the giiD'man is its incarnation on the industrial battlefield. The gunman is armed with the latest machine gun; he is a murderer pure and simple, 'but he has nothing to fear from1 the law. •Indeed, the law -protects him, for he murders In the name of the law, and his plutocratic master is the maker of the law and the maker of the Judge who construes the law—-In the interest of hts maker. iThe orjjanized workers are today confronted by government -by assassination, and this latest creation of the ruling class to subjugate their slaves has to be grappled with and throttied if organized labor Is-not to bite the dust ln the United States. President Wilson's "government of the fathers" is a mere ghost of the past, and while Congress ls fiddling away at its old tunes in Washington, Rockefeller's gunmen are shooting government by assassination into the working class. Czar Rockefeller is the real ruler of the American people and the old government has practically gone out of (business since John the First set up government iby assassination. 'Rockefeller's private army of gunmen is .backed up by the militia of the several States, and their business is to assassinate working people who object to slavery and degradation, as they are now doing In the State of Colorado. -, It .will "soon be time to elect another Congress and another set of governors, sheriffs, etc. Workingmen who are favorable Impressed by government iby assassination and want to see it continue in force should not fail to vote for Republican, Democratic and Progressive -candidates, all of whom stand alike for Rockefeller's private ownership of the earth and" government by gunmen and assassination to protect his slaves in their God-given right to produce wealth for his benefit and rejoice in his glory—or starve.— Debs in Rip Saw, Wilh Acute Indigesiion.

It was started this time toy a clause In the British Workingmen*! Insurance act which says any one who carat more than 1800 a year and does no manual 'labor it a gentleman, and not entitled to the benefits of tbe act. Tbe immediate problem was railed by the Liverpool 8teamtbip Owners'Association, .while recognis- tog that the captain, mate, eecond officer and everyone in the engine room down to the sixth assistant are technically gentlemen under the act, fears that tbe seventh assistant engineer, who hai to do tome- oiling or wiping of something of a mamial na- ture like that, -it therefore outside the charmed circle of gentility. The shipowners nre -perturbed lest the act create an undesirable class conscloua- nets among their employee affecting the eocial status in the mete room nnd otherwise dlstuttlng the etiquette of high seat. An appeal bat been made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr, Lloyd (leorge. for an official ruling on tb* vexfnar point.

O. - ■, in I i PROHBITION WILL NOT CURE ECONOMIC ILLS Peter Sullivan, for soliciting, alms, was given thirty days In the county Jail by Police Judge Stanley on Monday.—Sentinel. The above Item appeared In the local columns of a -paper published -in one of the leadfng towns of California. Peter -Sullivan was given a ■jail sen-teHce-of~tbii ty_daysr"-because" necessity demanded that he should become a solicitor for alms. Peter Sullivan was without employment. He was homeless, penniless and luingry, und 'because in bis desperation he was forced to become a beggar, "insult is ndded io .Injury," and he is gives to understand tbat a hungry, jobless man without money .supplicating -assistance to appease the pangs of want, is a criminal and deserves the penalty of thirty days in a county jail. When a man is so financially embarrassed that be ls without the means to purchase a meal to satiate the cravings of hunger, be must bear with fortitude the agonies that follow from an empty stomach, for if he appeals to his fellow man for the necessary assistance to secure a meal, he becomes a beggar, and under the vagrancy act, he becomes tbe Inmate of a Jail. It will be noted In tbe Item taken from the Sentinel that Peter Sullivan was given thirty daya for aolloitlng alma It waa a crime for Peter Sullivan to solicit- alms, but it la oot criminal tor organised bodies, calling themselves charitable societies, to place their agent on the streets to solicit anybody and everybody for ftinde under the pretext that the money collected is to be used to relieve distress and poverty. The profeaaional solicitor aa this agent of a so-called charity organisation la not molested, Botwtthetandlng the fact that tha moat ot tto fund* collected are used to ipajr the salaries of Christianised highwayman. Had Peter Sullivan been a diplomat he would have so manipulated matter* that he would have had' himself ap- Klnted or elected as tht custodian or ensed solicitor cf charity, and then the lay would not have seised him and thrown film Into Jail. Hut Peter Sullivan was a working- man out of a job. HU purse was wnpty tind his clothes were shoddy. Me waa friendless, moneyless and masteries*, and because hit poverty forced htm to beg, he waa a criminal and a«nt«nce«l to jail. kftt us hall the Starry Banner and give three cheers for that democracy tint we boast of beneath the canopy of Young Columbia.

Prohibition or no prohibition, booze •will be, peddled and offered for sale just as long as there Is a profit in it. Whisky will be adulter-ed and offered for sale just as loug as tbere is money in it. The teeth of the liquor problem will be drawn only when private exploitation and private profits are removed from all.form of intoxicants. The moro drastic the forma of liquor traffic suppression are, the more villainous will be the stuff-that is smuggled to tte buyer. Socialism offers the only scientific and reasonable remedy for the liquor evil—lor evil dt ta. With tbe profit* removed from all boose, the incentive to adulterate and offer for sale will disappear. It ls not pure liquor that constitutes a menace; it is the possibility of mak* ing easy monoy by adultering and selling the deadly stuff that la now mixed and offered to the youth of the land. Nation-wide prohibition may or may sot be a benefit, but let it be understood that it is not the issue before the nation. The big, paramount Issue beforo tbe people of the world is private exploitation through the private owner-ship of the earth and tbe profit system; and to abolish that la to remove countless evils similar to the privately conducted aa* loon. And If the attempt la made to magnify nation-wide prohibition to a point where It #111 befog the real Issue, then we should bo intelligent enough to refuse to bt turned from our purpose and remember that what- ever evil there ta la the liquor traffic arises from the profit element la tt.

Pint class accomraotation. The only hotel in tbt district. For the laBt twenty-five years the continuous emigration of a great multitude pt European people to other countries has caused considerable worry In almost every country of the continent. Numerous large holdings are held toy a few noblemen. They, of course, allowed the peasants to till the soil for them. The peasants did not cultivate the soil for the leftovers of the feudal system; -but they were solely oppressfed by their "lords." Consequently, they began to look for new climes to eke out a livelihood for their families. They left Europe in such great numbers that, in a short time, miles of cultlvatable land were abandoned; ■Today, agriculture, as an industry is more heavily subsidized and aided by the governments of tho European countries than any other field. As far Iback as 100 years ago the foundation for giving special aid to farmers and rural agricultural landholders was started in Prussia under the ad-ministration of Frederick -the Great. The 'Landscliaft, or land moit- gage bank/ was first originated with ihe organization of rural credit banks under the ausplc-es of the Prussian f-iovprnmeiH. The' Prussian Government had realized that the improvement of the lands and the - development of agriculture could not be possible or permanent unless the owners of the lands had a financial system devised for negotiating loaps, based upon improved lands as security, on long time and, at a low rate of Interest. It was also realized that the commercial banks could not undertake long time loans, as their resources depended upon short time deposits on current or open account. Finally the Government, being the most deeply interested in the welfare of Its agriculture, undertook to organize and capitalize the first landscliaft bank, and give to the landowners an opportunity to hypothecate their lands as security and -secrue long time loans at an Interest rate of not more. than 4 per cent In those days the gre^t tracts of land were owned by the nobility and the decree of the Government required that all land owners in each district or province should be held Jointly liable to the bank on loans granted to any single owner. The system created the first step toward a plan of the unlimited' liability ln 'borrowing money which has grown Into such wide popularity at the .present time, especially in the organization -of the Landscliaft and the Relffeisen system of banks. These land mortagage banks may be institutions created and capitalized by the Government; ~-ur~ they toAi' be Joint stodrtuftiiutioffl-*^©^^^"fifinnak- ing money on the capital instead as well a* handling loans on farm property. These Government banks, or rual co-operative banks, declare no dividends, the profit accumulating going each year into the reserve funds. The method of operation ln these land mortgage banks ls usually as follows: Should a landowner wish to borrow on bis land, say, $1,000, on long time, he -makes bla needs known to thctonk. The bank thereupon investigates the real value of the land to bo .nortgagei, including the lm- r'xveuicnts, ani the sum sought Icr Is gmivted on a basis of 50 per jeut of the market value oi thc property of- fe red as security. On fifty-year I0.11.1 the Interast Is in islly A per cent, the "lunortiiaton." added to the expense or commission charged by the bank, brings the entire Interest charged to 514 per cent par annum, while the amount of the principal ls reduced each year. The titles to all real estate are guaranteed by the Government, hence there can be no flaw In the titles. When the land mortagnge has lieen filed nnd accepted by tbe bank witb the practl- ml concent cf thc Govermnewt debtm- tures or bonds are lastied to thn full amount or tbe loan. These bonds are dollvetfed to ibe former wbo oan go out and market them; In ordinary cases the bank pays to tbe borrower at once the amount of tbe loan and sells tbe fttonds itself. This peculiar mortagage loan Is for [fifty yeara on the"amortliation ,Man." IThe term "amortl-sntlon" Is payment .Jon Installment plan, so tbat at the end w'cf the period for which the Ufa la made debt is cancelled. Thine morttgag* bonds ar j Issued without any fixed time liml: and aro rever redeemed until th* morina%o»i against which tbey are Issued are 1 aid tip. Ir rarely happen* thit the mn-t- cage ts paid np. In Prusals only 2ty per -writ on tbe mortgage bonds have 1 vrr heen retlrel These bonds are tbriee guaranteed; by the mortagage loans, liy the entire assets of the bank and by th* (Jor-ani- ment td the district In which they are Issued. Although the rural credit bank ays- tem wa* originated In Germany. I I think Italy U farther advanced In Ita loans and for short time credit needs of the farmers which has proven of ralue. Government aid has played an important part in the work. The mortgage cpedlt Institutions ot Hungary, are neither purely co-operative nor strictly private. The oldest and most important bank in Hungary is the Hungarian Land Mortgage Institute found in 1863. The Government contributed $200,000 of the capital stock of the company and the (balance was subscribed by "founders," who, however, were only jrequired to pay 10 per cent of the amount of the stock for which they subscribed. These founders receive a dividend limited to 5 per cent of their subscriptions. Besides the, founders, every landowner who plared a mortgage with the bank is a member of the bank. Only those who have a mortgage indebtedness to the bank of at least $20,000 haye any voice in the affairs of the bank. The other members may elect representatives to the general meeting. As soon as a farmer's mortgage expires his membership In the bank dies. Under this form of organization the Hungarians attempted to secure the co-operative principle of representation of Mie borrowing farmers while at the same time .placing the greater part of the power in the hands of the founders. Only the founders have the power to elect the president and the board of control. The management has fallen Into -the hands of a few men who, however, ,bave so managed Its affairs for the public good that it has satifactorlly met the mortgage demands of the Hungarian landowners, with this fault, however that its business is carried almost exclusively with large landowners. The process of,securing money to lend to landowners is that of selling bonds equal in amount to the mortgages placed with the bank and secured by the mortgages, and, secondly by the capital reserve funds of tho bank. The failure of the Hungarian Land Mortgage Institute to.meet demands of small farmers led to the organization of the Hungarian National Small Holding Institute but 'with thy provision in its chapter that It shall not grant loans to large landowners until tho demands of the small owners had been satisfied. This bank also grants loans to peasant farmers when a big estate is subdivided among many holders. Mortgage loans are granted for only 50 per cent of the value of the land in Hungary but lt has been found that when any big estate ls sub-divided, the income from the land is so Increased that It is safe to loan up to two-thirds ample of this aid from the State which the Austrian societies enjoy, the Diet of Galicia' in 1890 placed at the disposal of the Provincial Government a sum equal to about $400,000, to be used- to further the work of the cooperative societies, and ten years later established the Provincial Bank for co-operative societies at Leopoli, which now administers the fund. One of the most interesting investigations of the American commission outside of. the field of credit, was made when the famous co-operatjve live stock and meat market of St. tMarx of Vienna was visited. , " "■ ■ 'About sixty years ago, so they learned, the live stock market trade of Vienna fell Into the bands of a limited number' of cattle dealers .who monopolized it to the Injury -of both the producers and the consumers. To breaw up this monopoly the city government of Vienna established a municipal meat foundation making obligatory the extension of credit to the tatlon of liability In the courts? Jf incompetency is not, proven the liability of the company Is limited -under the law to the value of so much of the vessel as was saved and the pending freight money. The owners of the Nantucket protected themselves by having the steamer sold at a marshal's -sale, where she -was bought in by the president of the company. Thus the value was estab- Ushedv and to meet the damage claims amounting to about $1,000,000 there is only $85,000, the amount for which the Nantucket was bought in —unless it is proven that her crew were Incompetent. ■The inspector of hulls. m his "flndT ings and decision," states that the ■Monroe carried six Curley Jlfecrafts. One of these rafts saved seven persons. The captain of the Ill-fated ship stated that the boat in which he left the ship picked the chief steward and a few others off a raft unde"r the stern of the vessel, Tlie chief steward testified that he hung on the rail of the steamer until she sank. . . ■'■■«''■ The evidence regarding the raft was contradictory, nevertheless the inspector thought it important to show that some of the lives were saved by the raft, but did not deem It Important to emphasize the fact that a waterlogged lifeboat, which had gone overboard "by the run," drifting with an open plughole in her purchasers, who in this instance were '• bottom*, proved more valuable than the butchers. the entire set of undamaged rafts, Out of this system grpw the present live stock commission business, which followed the dis-solution of the "foundation" in 1870. From this experience the city thought It well to again thirteen or fourteen persons having been saved by lifeboats, according to the testimony of the ^persons wholiad climbed into her.

Personal credit of Hungarian farmers Is granted through co-operttve societies, which are united In the Hungarian Central -Credit Co-operative Society. Every one of the local societies deposits its wirplus funds with the! Central -Society, which lends to olher1 societies needing money. The centra} co-operative bodies dx- ert their influence in organising new local co-operative societies, prevent unlawful combinations, and assume the responsibility that the local managers properly conduct their organizations. They also conduct a valuable educational Institution through travel- .Ing lecturer-* and official periodical publications and by printing and distributing special documents treating of agriculture and co-operative organization.

Wilson-Humorist Since he became President, Wood- row Wilson has done numbers of things that other President have not done. iHe has read his own messages to Congress, -he has allowed himself to be quoted directly in the newspa- pers and he bas endeavored to gain for Jiimself the reputation of being a democratic sort, of person. And now he blossoms forth as a humorist. The .President told a convention of business men In Washington that the country is suffering from a depression. iThen came the joke, his crowning burst of humor: BUT IT IS ONLY PSYCHOLOGICAL! ■Isn't, that a delicious bit of fun? '^Phychological hard times!" Woodrow Wilson may now take his place with .Mark Twain, Bill Nye and Bill iT&ft. Especially Oill Taft. "God knows," said Taft. "Psychological," says Wilson. Taft--told the workingmen that "God knows" what a workingman is to do when he is out of a job and ., can't find one. Wilson tells him that his condition is merely a psychological one. If Hill Smith is hungry aud has [not the price of a meal, we may sidle (up. to Bill, in the light of this new dispensation, and Avhis|>er softiv into Bill's ear that the trouble with him ts that he Is only phychologically 1 hungry—-It's his mental condition I that's botheriijg him. not his stomach! !

'Bill has been looking on lunch counters too long—he's gathered unto himself a bad habit. A new twist in his mental machinery will fix him so tliat he will never know that he has a stomach—leave it to his new psychology! Professor Wilson ought to traipse down to the Bowery or over on Cherry Hill iwlth his new teaching. He ought to tell it to the men who are enjoying enforced vacations in Detroit, in Chicago, In San Francisco, In the big steel towns, perhaps even in Washington, right handy under the Presidential nose. The President is on the short and easy road to fame. Nothing to it now. He has conquered the hungry stomach. The country is saved once. more. Bill Taft, with his "God knows," was a mere piker. He hadn't the right Idea at all. Professor Wilson IiSls painted "Eureka" on his Hue and flung it to the national breeze. Have a bite of psychology, all ye who are hungry and on your uppers. Perk up and sail in; there's plenty of psychology for all! Let it become the national diet! Ko trust can corner It; Rockefel- i ler can't raise the price! !

Every geological change destroyed untold minions of living organisms in the -building up and preparing conditions for the possible creation of new creatures. New social systems have come and gone. Volcanic-like eruptions in human society have invarlbly taken place, Tbe great auk and many other huge monsters of primeval days, not being adapted to changed conditions established by the forces of nature would undoubtedly become voracious and in the death struggle, millions of other animals, a -species more tn keeping with the newly completed order, would perish under thn mighty paw. In the modern battle of labor against capital the struggle Is becoming ever mora severe for supremacy; human suffering, agony and oppression are now universal.

The charred bodies of those once smiling babies, the cremated bodies of -working men and women upon the fields of Colorado perfumes the air that J. D. would gladly, if possible, monopolize for personal use. This massacre of Innocents is an example of the friendly relations existing ibetweeh capital and labor; but capitalism moves in a mysterious way Its wonders to perform.

Don't Inane J. D. Rockefeller. Kvery conceivable worker, mental und manual, is to blame because you have the power to chango the system. The tidal wave has now broke loose, tho erosion of the old strafo of human society Is Hearing completion; thc world now* stands awaiting, ready to divide tho cromatlon rods of the pregnated nucleus of a now social system, liut, oh yes, workers, you are not quite ready to any hand over the State, .vo want no more murder, wo want peace among men. ci:u. paton, 161ft THEATRE In spite of the hot weather and consequent Impetus gtv*»n outdoor H'uii. the Mm, hug lo»l none of It popularity with the public.
