EVER since Attorney General Brewster
issued his order for federal officers to
lookout for the dynamiters in the United
States suspicious-looking characters have
been hanging around The ENQUIRER
office; and the other day when Carter
(he's the rubber stamp fiend who divides
rent with me) let off his little steam vul-
canizer, general rush was made on this
revolutionary camp. But as soon as the
yigilant ferrets were told by the cub that
he had only dropped wet sponge on
the proof of this weeks leader, and
caused that terrible kissing sound, every
thing became once more serene.

SOME of my eastern exchanges have
discovered that the wage system is
faulty-in fact, that it is inadequate in
any shape. The editors have been read

they were little hasty in condemning
the Socialistic idea before they investi-
gated it. We begin to move, and when
we do get started, something has got to
come. Let the good work go on,
