NOT ONE WORD FOR THE POOR.

BY THE MAN WITHOUT A SOUL.
Written for Industrial Freedom
Trust in God, " Mckinley says,
Him who rules this nation;
He moyeth in mysterious ways,
Midst our degradation,
Pay our bonded debt in gold
This is PATRIOTIC"
BE true slaves to whom we're sold;
Freedom is chaotic.
Not one word has this great fake
For the starving workers,
Though he many speeches make
To the idle shirkcrs.
Not one word for those who press
To their withered bosom
Starving babies in distress
No great loss to lose EN-.
Not one word for Hazelton
And the murdered miners.
Acting president is fun
Raking in the sinners.
Not one word for the distress
In the grinding city:
Starving men have no redress;
Great men have no pity.
Not one word for those who strike
Just for living wages;
American Hun, Slav, and Ike -,
Even palsied age is
Treated like the lowest brute
of Gods great creation:
Deputies are told to shoot
Men who make this nation.
Thus the ship goes drifting on
While the plutes are robbing:
Mckinley boasts of battles won,
But heeds not the sobbing
of the idle, starving poor,
Whom grim hunger pinches;
Stranded on this greed-cursed shor,
Dying now by inches.

FEED VS.. BREED.

Thoroughbred stock will. by few
generations of starving. become scrub
stock. On the other hand scrub stock
will, by constant good care, become thor
oughbred and valuable. | remember
that people used to come miles to get
settings of eggs from mothers hens.
Mother made no pretension of scientific
selection, but twenty years of good
care had developed remarkably fine
flock of chickens.
Socialists hold that the cause of the
great apparent differences among men
lies in the difference of care-food.
lodging, culture. A very small per-
centage of our people are overfed, con-
stantly surfeited -foundered. Less than
one-fourth of our population are well
cared for: three-fourths or nearly sixty
millions are crowded and starved in
slums. or isolated on farms where there
are poor school, social and literary
privileges.
A mans character and destiny are
largely determined by the material, So
cial, literary and moral atmosphere in
which the first twenty years of his life
have been spent. Hence socialists
wisely insist that every child shall have
the best possible environment and OPP
portunities.
AS we have ceased to punish child
rem for the fathers crime, why
should we continue to rob them
of their inalienable right to the best
possible chance for the best possible
life, simply because the father is Il slug
gard?
At present custom. law and religion

of their birthright to the use of Sc

The Fish Have No Landlords. If

there is another place on earth outside
of the enervating tropics where nature
is more bountiful than right here in
Skagit county we have yet to hear of IT,.
Our little fishing sloop brings in two,
three and five tons of herring, CLAIMS,
and halibut. Work? Oh. yes of course
the boys have to work to secure these
magnificent catches. but then they pay
no tribute to any loafer. That one fact
would if possible make these fish
more toothsome. The principal fruits
are apples. cherries prunes, pears and
berries. of which last the woods are full.
Last years apples, not put in storage,
but simply kept in a vacant room are
now still of exquisite flavor. The ca
pacity of good sized cherry tree seems
boundless. Pear trees, like aged mon,

task, but once cleared the soil is very
easily worked and wonderfully prolific.
Looking to the west we see the snow
clad Olympics, to the northwest we
see the Selkirk range, north east, Mt.
Baker and the Three Sisters. The
Sound itself is dotted with islands many
of which rise to height of 1000 feet.
Taken all in all this seems to be pretty
nearly paradise. The main objection
is that the colony has to pay some $1,000
for right to work, for merely place
to stand on Gods footstool. Absentee

thus right to fine those who wish to
work. 1t doesn't seem so bad to pay
rent to man for the use of house he
has built, but that we should be barred
out from access to the soil till we have
lined the pockets of men who have
never done & single stroke of work
toward preparing the land for human
needs does seem an injustice. Still. as
have said, nobody has yet been able
to put his hand on the multitudinOus
finny life of the sound and so there we
have free access to nature.

A Parallel.

DR.. Paley, the great theologian
thus wrote a century ago: "If you
should see flock of pigeons in a
grain field, and if instead of pecking
where and what is wanted, ana no
more, you should see ninety-nine of
them gathering all they got in heap
and reserving nothing for themselves
but the chat and refuse. keeping this
heap for one and that the weakest.
perhaps the worst pigeon in the flock,
sitting around and looking on all win
ter, while this one was devouring,
throwing about and wasting it. and if
a pigeon more hardy than the rest
touched grain of the hoard. all the
others instantly flying upon it and
tearing it to pieces-if you should see
this, you would see nothing more than
what is every day practised and es-
tablished among men."-Common-
