Industrial freedom. [volume] (Edison, Wash.) 1898-1???, 1898-07-30

which rarely happens here this sea-
son of the year.
John Paris of Coalgate, |. r.,
ritory, has just arrived in Equality to
be one of us. His family are behind,
to come later on.
Our visitor, Mrs. Young of Idaho,
has been slightly indisposed with sore
throat, but is now convalescent but
somewhat hoarse.
-Mr.Davis of Salt Lake City, Utah,
is our latest arrival. He is whole
host within himself chockful of
socialism. His wife and family are
also with him.
Mrs. Ellis of North Bend, Wash,
was visitor with us on the 10Th inst.
She is pleased with the outlook tor
Equality, and expects to return
again. Her husband was with us some
time previous.
August Willig and family of Coal
gate. Indian Territory, arrived on the
10th inst. to swell the number of CO.
operators at the front. Thus we grow
gradually into a mighty host.
This is the clean up for the week,
and we think we have caught all, but
one was so mixed up with the rest
that we failed to get him, but we
promise to put him into a local next
week.
We have petitioned the postoffice
department for postoffice, to be To-
Gated at Equality, and it appears $50
man up tree" that the thing has
taken chill or the petitioners have
not sufficient political pull.
1t is a happy thought in the minds
of most of our friends writing to our
secretary and corresponding commit
tee just to put in few stamps. 1t IA
cilitates business. and as soon as we
get postoffice we will get the bene-
fit of the cancellation. See?
Mr.. Winter has kindly lent us
hand in surveying our new townsite,
and we expect to be able to report
progress in week or two; and then
we will soon begin building cot
tages for the colonists, as our
present quarters will be insufficient to
accommodate our ever increasing
family.
Mr.. Eichholtz, our nurseryman, is
pushing his department of industry,
and will have a large quantity of
trees for this falls delivery. He has
abandoned the idea of propagating
fine roses, as the colony urchins break
into his enclosure in his absence and
break his plants before he can get
view of his improvements; therefore,
until there is a high paling around
his flower beds sufficient to keep out
the small boy and the boy large
enough to purloin a rose for his
inamorata. the rose business will lie
dormant.
DIR. J. Q. Arnold of Michigan is
also visiting with Us. Although the
doctor has delivered nearly 1000 lee
lures on political and social reform
he thinks it is good to be here. and
see live socialism in motion. On the
18th inst. the doctor gave us q lecture
on " Socialism the hope of the
world" on the 18th his lecture
was, Thought, the power of social
relorm;" and on the 18th his lecture
viii be "Healthin Physiology and Hy-
giene." The doctor Is a fluent and
genial talker and his lectures were
highly entertaining to all who heard
him.
Local Union No. of Kentucky
has sent us a donation of s. for the
purpose of buying COW. This is ap-
propriate, timely and wise: the local
union in cooperating with the pio-
neers will thus assist the pioneers to
more effectually cooperate with them
in opening up homes for the reserves.
1t is al right for the reserves to be
good theore teal socialists. but when
ever you put your hands in your pock-
cts and forward money you are CO.
operating, and the movement will
grow in proportion as we cooperate
or put socialism in motion. If money
comes in freely our work viii assume
the proportions of a national move
ment, but if the reserves fail to CO.
operate with us vigorously and effect
iyely our movement will drop out of
/ public notice. While we should not
incur debt, yet if we narrow our ope-
rations to the clearing of a single
tract of land the inspiration of our
people will be limited. In proportion
as we lay out objective points for fu-
ture development and awaken an in
terest in the same among our people,
just in that propo rtion will the coop
eratiye interest, inspiration and en-
