WHERE WILL IT END ,

The situation of industrial affairs grows
more threatening every day, and it
seems hardly possible that calamity
can much longer be averted unless some
thing is done at once. Thousands of
workingmen are daily being thrown out
Of work other thousands are having
their wages cut. The opportunities of
the producers sustaining their lives are
lessening and the remuneration of those
who can find work to dois being lowered
steadily to the last notch.
Strikes of employees are not on the in
crease, but are rather falling off, Mo
nopoly, however, is on strike all over the
land. The tabor market" is being over
run by the suspension of large establish.
ments, and the spectators in hupap
lives are forcing those who still a

)s Wednesday Of this week Judp

On Wednesday Of this week Judge
Blanden, of the Cleveland, Ohio, COM
mon pleas court, decided in favor Of the
Pennsylvania railroad company in suit
brought to recover damages from the
company for unjust discrimination in
the transportation of coal. So it seems
that this law is defeated by the venality
of the men elected to execute it. If the
Legislatures get beyond the control of the
corporationists long enough to allow
themto make law in favor of the peo-
pie, then the judges defeat justice by re-
fusing to enforce the law. Colorado is
asking for legislation restricting railroad
corporations. If the legislature passes
the bilIk, the citizens should organize
vigilance companies to see that the courts
enforce them. 1t is time to stop this
playing with the people.

An 1p1or1o BELLowER.

This socialistic organization is ter
ror to stable government and the rights
of organized society, but, from the growth
of socialism in this country in the past
few years, we may not be surprised if
the red flag is unfurled at any time and
the furies are loosened upon US. A gov
ernment that has not the power to pro-
tect It's ballot boxes in every section of
its domains, invites anarchy!-Kansas
City Journal. 49, ...T'
The fanatic who wrote the above is a
sore-headed republican, and he prophe-
sizes evil things because democratic pres
ident has been elected. He is right
when he says that "a government that
has not the power to protect its ballot
boxes invites anarchy" but, he doesn't
seem to realize that the invitation was
long ago extended and accepted in this
country and that we have nothing short
of anarchy now. This government has
not the power to protect its ballot boxes
and never will have SO long as the pres
entsystem of voting and representation
are in vogue. g.. .-
The editor of the Journal lies or is ig-
norant (the latter most likely when he
says "Socialistic organization is terror
to stable government and the rights of
organized society" He admits that the
present form of government is not stable
when he says it has not power to. pro-
tect its ballot boxes-one of its choicest
gems; and the Socialistic government
not only provides for the protection of
the boxes, but also for the protection of
the voters. -. &-.
Society to-day is. in about as badly dis
organized state as it is possible for it to
get and still pretend to hold together,
and that is why Socialism is attracting
such attention. and enlisting so many ad-
yocates. Socialism will thoroughly or
ganize soclety-as it was never organized
before, and as no, other method will or
can do 1t. A writer who will attempt to
show an affinity between Socialism and
anarchy is a fool. There are no two per-
sons so directly opposed to each other as
are the Socialist and Anarchist.
The editor of the Journal had better
wash the partisan dirt out of hio eyes
with a cubic inch of the Missourl's
muddy water and read Webster's defni-
ton of Socialism. A Kansas City man
isn't expected to know much, but there
is no law compelling him to parade his
ignorance. before the world - y
AS for "the red fag"-long may it
wave-it signifies justice, peace and pros
perity to man not the "loosened furies."
The nervous people may thank their
stars II such believing idiots as the editor
of the Journal do not create breeze
that win unfurl the black. flag. The
burden is becoming very heavy; the
slave may throw it off, before the wise
/ counsels of the Socialists have won him
to look at matters in the light of new
ideas. ~ ILL.,.

Last Sunday evening exercises were

of two prominent lawyers, hear sweet
music by the chorus club and be horri
fed by the poverty statistics Of the Ladies
Relief Society. The cspacious house was
filled to overhowing, and the aggregate
of admission fees was sufficient to buy
considerable food and clothing for the
needy.

works, l do not want TO be taken as say
ing one word against the ladies who

Mr.. Patterson said in his remarks Sun'

the skull of the man who will enunciate

!. A monopoly Of Turkeys.

(. &
Thanksgiving is a day set for the pur-
pose of making chrome injustice more
glaring. Forty thousand men with fami-
lies, could not find anything to be thank
full for in Chicago yesterday. Three
Thousand of them assembled on Market
square and feasted ON their miseries in
lieu Of turkey. They formed line and
marched through mud and rain to the
portion of the city where the well ted
live. No one was hurt, and no turkeys
were taken from the rich and eaten by
the poor. The turkeys belonged to the
possessors of them by right of fair ex-
change, for had they not given thanks
for them? The 5000 men have been
working all their lives, but have no tur-
key perhaps because they are not thank:
full.
Only an utterly selfish person can give
thanks to the invisible power for good
food and warm shelter. It's equivalent
to thanking that invisible power for
withholding food and shelter from part
Of the human race. The materlalist who
believes he earned his turkey2bv his in
dustry may eat it and be consistent
But the Christian who thinks turkeys
are a gift from Deity, ought to be SO
shocked by the injustice of not giving
all deserving people turkey, that the
tender morsels would strangle HIM.
Here is a case exactly parallel to the
Christian Suppose am possessed of
a great supply Of turkey and invite
fifty people to come and eat it with nae.
Suppose them to be assembled together,
very hungry and very grateful. I hand
plates of turkey and stufing and cram
berries to those who have clean collars
and well-ftting Clothes They imme-
diately fall to worsbiping me and over
whelming me with thanks, all the time
knowing that the majority of the guests
have no turkey and will not get any. OF
course thanks would be scarce among
that majority, but they would not fall on
my supply and eat it without ceremony,
oh no, they would feel thankful that
they were alive and hungry. t
The world is feast. There is no limit
to its abundance. We are told that the
Almighty creates us every one great and
small. Placing us on the earth is equiya-
lent to inviting US to feast from it. The
powers that be prevent some of us from
partaking, but we are submissive because
'.the powers that be are ordained of God. !"
What were the, thoughts of 100000
unemployed men in this country yester-
day? Thev see the feast 60 on without
them. Will they feel any interest in
good government? Will they continue
to respect the "right of property ?"
What do they think of Christians 2 Per-
haps they read, the bible and may hap
pen to find Acts iv, 1924. ..ft.. F..
"And the multitude of them that be-
Iieved were of one heart and one soul; ;
