Now, Mr.. Editor, let us be fair,

let us be honest. We are. not,
lawyer-like, trying to make out case,
but we are earnest, thoughtful men and
women seeking truth. We are not
quack-like, ,parading pet scheme for
rejuyenadng and healing a diseased
world, but We are determined and re-
lentless army demanding human eman-
cipation, peaceably if we can, forcibly if
we must. Sheer and sophistry in this
argument are out of place.. .,i afr..sf.,
We believe, no matter what be the
inter-actiye means adopted when man is
freed, the pertinent question is, how to
free him. We hold, any previously ad-
yocated means to reach this end, such as
political action, ETC., are a delusionl and
a snare. That never, in the history; of
human eyolyement, has step been
taken except by wrestling, through abso-
lutte force, privilege from the dominant

A Kind Word From Erie.

Editor Labor Enquirer:
On Friday evening the 9th inst. this
town was visited by our noble leaders
Messrs. John L. Lewis, the executive
head of the "Coal Miners Amalgama-
tion," and Mr.. j. R. Buchanan, member
of the executive board of the knights Of
Labor, and also editor and proprietor of
The LABOR Esau1RER, Denver. The
whole town was alive with enthusiasm,
and our band turned out to greet them.
They addressed large and respectable
gathering in the M. E. church, which
had been kindly lent for the occasion,
and their remarks met with frequent
bursts of applause. They spoke at great
length upon the labor problem, and

The capitalistic press all over the
country are up in arms against the dyna-
miters. AS one of that accursed class,
let me warn the readers of this not to
allow themselves to be led astray by the
seeming virtuous indignation of hire
ling press, and to take-thelr expressions
Of deep sympathy for the innocent vic
TINS of the explosion in the Tower Of
London with grain of salt.
What are a. few lives, innocent or
otherwise, when the greatest issue of all
The centuries is at stake?
| If these explosions do no more they
will stimulate thought. Well-to do

think and ask themselves the cause ol
such outbreaks. 1t will not do to call

cruel. But, on the contrary, they are in
the van Of human progress and are the
first in every land to extend helping
hand to the needy and oppressed They
are natures chosen instruments to carry
out evolution's central fiat of natural
law. They recognize in dynamite the
Savior of our race-a blessing beside
which all others pale into utter ingignif-
canoe. For the one innocent victim of
the explosion in the Tower of London, a
thousand are perishing with hunger and
disease in the slums but on these unfor.
tunates the fat and sleek newspaper
editor wastes no word Of sympathy,
Evolution does not stop to educate all
the idiots as to the consequences of re-
peated violations other laws. Thousands
Of animals, including man, have been
swept from the face of the earth through
ignorance of natural law, and thousands
of conservative 'dullards will not learn to
solve the social problems that are crowd
ing themselves upon them for solution
until they are absolute driven to it by
the fierce outbdrsts of an outraged peo-
pie in Revolution. 5 agat
Those ofyou who have not yet grasped
the fact that dynamite is destined to
Revolutionize the world and restore to
the disinherited the earth and the full
ness thereof, should hasten to grasp the
truth. Look around you and see. if the
dynamiters of your acquaintance are not
the most humane, intelligent and gener-
ous-hearted of your fellow citizens.
Ask yourself if they appear to be men
who would wantonly destroy human
life'2 Away with the cowardly lie.

miters in Denver, and they are here in

M..xini,s words.


"Workingmen, brothersl When Christ
came and changed the tace Of the world, he
spoke not OF rights to the rich who needed
not to achieve them, nor to the poor, who
doubtless would have abused them, in imi-
tation Of therich; he spoke not Of utility nor
of interest to 9 people whom interest and
utility had corrupted; !; he spoke Of duty, he
spokeof love, of sacrifice and OF faith; and
he said that they should be first among all
who had contributed most by their labor to
the good Of all.
s.And the word Of Christ, breathed IN the
ear Of a society in which all true life was
extinct recalled it to existence, conquered
the millions, conquered the world ands aused
the education Of the human race to ascend
one degree on the scale of progress.
aWoTkingmenl we live In an epoch similar
to that OF Christ. We live In the midst OF 2
society as corrupt as that Of the Roman EN-
pire, feeling in our inmost soul the need Of
terminating and transforming it and Of
uniting all It's various members i'm one sole
faith beneath the one Law, in one sole aim
the free and progressive development Of all
1 the faculties Of which God has given the
germ TO his creatures. We seek the kingdom
/ OF God on earth as tits In heaven, or, rather
that earth may become a preparation for
heaven, and society an endeavor after the
progressive realization Of the divine idea.
"But Christ's every act was the visible
representation Of the faith he reached, and
around him stood apostles who incarnated In
their actions the faith they had accepted.
Be you such and you will conquer. Preach
duty to the classes about you. and fulfill as
far as in you lies, your own. Preach virtue
i sacrifice and love, and be yourselves virtuous
loving and ready for self sacrifice. SPEAK
your thoughts boldly and make known YOU
