"In smaller vessel of the same kind
three pounds of solid meat can be thor
eughly cooked in its own juice in one
hour and quarter, with I cents worth
of oil burned in common lamp, which
may also serve the purpose of lighting
the room while the cooking is going
on"
This changes the face of the Revoln-
ton. The single young man, instead OF
attending socialistic meetings, discuss
ing strikes and dynamite, will remain IN
his $l09 per year room with his partner
reading by the lamp which is cooking
food for several days ahead. He will
dip up small supply from time to time'
but is not troubled with getting meals
He may be puzzled at first in the at
tempt to read by lamp which is placed
in pine box; or it may burn up the
box. He will regard these things as
particularly tough problems in the great
labor question, to be left to wise poiltl-
cal economists He will have much
leisure for it is well known that those
whose eating Is the least expensive do
the least work.
He will regard his pine box as the one
thing suffering labor has been so long
crying for. If crank Socialists continue
to howl he may take his pine box to
their meeting and thus silence all argu-
ment, for 1t practically solves the labor
question if people will only be wise.
Mr.. Atkinson's remedy has been re-
printed already more times than anV
scheme ever yet proposed. If it be the
real remedy l hope it %ill be widely cir
cplated. This is the age of wonders. a
pine box and oil lamp as torerunners OF

Their Man of Straw.

Editor Labor Enquirer
DENVER, March 27.--The opponents of
Socialism are continually poundlnga.Way
at some man of fstraw, which they them
selves have set up, all the while presum-
ing that this creature of their fancy Is
yeritable Socialism.
The capitalist and his teacher have
been so accustome.. to dividing up that
that is t! cir first as we'll as their last
thought, and therefore they falsely
charge Socialists with waiting to divide
the pile Of the capitalists. Now, have
net so learned Socialism. But we do
want to prevent the rapitalist from dl-
yiding up the laborers' little pile, and
because we say hands of, and are about
to grasp the thief by the throat in the
act of spoliation, then thew raise the
CRY of stop thief to divert attention from
themselves. But this stratagem will not
work in our day, as the people are no
longer frightened by the creations of
fancy, or to be diverted from their object
by scarecrows. l am sorry to have to
take my Sabbath food served up IN this
style, but the cook is in fault, who per-
sists in using the wrong seasC ming.
Socialists are not competitors with
capitalists in the division of the spoils,
nor do they want what rightfully be-
longs to another, for they do not coyet
their nelghbor's house, nor his wife, nor
his OK, nor his ass. They do want to
protect tueir own homes and wives, and
to level up from the bottom, and not
down from the top, Socialists believe
in the Fatherhood Of God and the
Brotherhood of Man, and their sympa-
thies extend beyond themselves. AN
injury to one is the concern of all, )" and
they cannot believe that He whom they
have been taught to call Father can be
so unjust to His children as to give all to
one and nothing to the others.
IfJacob did obtain the birthright by
fraud, and cup of porridge, Esau was
quite as well provided for by his own
honest labor, and appears to have been
much better man. Wealth is no eVi'
derce of favor with God, but quite the
reverse. The Great Teacher has drawn
picture of rich man in hell and a
poor man in heaven, and tenor of His
teaching goes to show that that is gener-
all,y the case. But that is no reason why
the poor should consent to be robbed to
build the rich larger barns, so that they
may have warmer home hereafter
socialism will be just to all by securing
to each man the fruit of his own toll
and will take care that Dives does not
fare sumptuouslY every day from the
fruit Of some poor mans labor
But all and each shall have enough and
to spare in the good time coming, when
Righteousness and Justice shall be ap'
piled to every day life. Crime will dis
appear from the earth, as there will be
no motive or incentive TO wickedness
Hunger and nakedness will be a thing
of the past, and with these all the crimes
that are committed to satisfy the neces-
sites of mans nature. Lying, cheating
and defrauding will have served theil
purpose under the capitalistic rule. Life
will become sacred thing in the eyes o
all men. AS man will no longer live
upon his fellow-man, murder and rapipt
shall end The minister's calling will b;
superfuous for men will live the
Christian life. A UNIoNIsT.
