JUST LOOK AT US.

The war which was undertaken in
the name of justice and on behalf of
humanity for the Cubans is coming
rapidly to be seen as a conquest for
commercial gain and nothing more.
We are now told by Mr.. F. B. Thur
ber president of the United States Ex-
port association, that production
has outrun consumption" and there
tore additional markets must be found
for American products. The opportu-
nifty of American capitalists comes
now with the close of the war and
must not be thrown away, and so Mr..
Thurber proposes that such territory
as has fallen into our lap as a result
of the war for justice and humanity"
shall be retained.
production has outrun consump-
ton We have in the United States
100000 of people, all we'll housed,
well clothed and well fed
Seventy millions of people wanting
nothing and all prosperous
Seventy millions provided with I'M
restricted access to the means of life.
Seventy millions provided with
every comfort and every luxury known
to our higher civilization,
There is plethora of riches inc every
home. There isn't a loose bellyband
in the land!
There is no want anywhere and no
fear of want.
Never in the whole course of history
have any people been SO universally
well supplied with everything that
makes life worth living!
Nobody is poor. Everybody is rich.

But it is comforting to know that
there are a few ministers of the Gospel
who rise above their environment, and
nobly battle for the cause of the poor
and doWntrOdden. These noble men
do not hesitate to condemn the CAPT
talist system, with all its wrongs, in
justice and n1iseries, and advocate So
cialism as the only remedy. To these
be all praise. AS Goldsmith wrote of
the village parson, of these shall be
said that they are:
"As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form.
Swells from the vale and midway leaves the
storm;
Though rolling clouds around its breast are
spread.
Eternal sunshine settles on its head"

DIRECT LEGISLATION BRIEFLY TOLD.

most easily understood Of any pro-

1t merely means government by the

Let every law be referred to the peo-
pie. That's the referendum.
Permit a certain per cent. of the
voters to submit 4 law to vote.
That's the initiative.

them when not wanted. That's the
imperative mandate.

IS IT MINE?
BY JULIE TALMADGE

We read in Camness of those noisy times
That mark the footsteps of the human race
From its bold tribal movements to possess
A better land, to the displacing force
Which strives to shut the gates of civil life
Against the simple but efficient ways
That were supreme and ruled our fathers
world.
The mind reviewing these while undisturbed
BY quicker rushing of the blood, as when
The valorous deeds become a part of self,
Swings out from verge to verge of history
And with a sure and comprehensive sweep
Brings cause to meet its certain conse-
quence.
In this arena just conclusions form.
For prejudice can gain no entrance there,
Nor superstition, legendary tales,
Nor whip of faction to enforce a Srong:-
And one conclusion, lofty as the stars.
While holding there its splendor constantly,
Interprets all: Man has no right to boast,
AS the conditions tempering his ways,
The good, and equally the bad have grown
From seed by others sown in other days,
Or from influences begun with time.
The marvellous machines that vastly add
To human strength have slowly been evolved
As centuries give way to centuries,
And now are thoughts enthroned in steel to
voice
The brilliancy of mans ascending march,
No one can justly say of such, 'Tis mine;--
For multiple and intricate events
Have purified the first vague thought of drOss
And pushed it on, from age to age. until
Some wise beholder gives it active form.
Grant praise to him and worthy rccOmpense
But not exclusive right to all the good
The past has so beneficently poured
Into the stream of mans activities.
What is is but Il child of what has been,
And not a new creation. Every thought
Has parentage in the eternal years
Preceding its expression and its use:
It's not my OWN application mine:
But as the vanished potencies have wrought
To ultimately shapethe thought grasp,
The present potencies are heirs in fact
To the estate Of good the thought unfods.
The past has given with an impartial hand
That all mankind may equally enjoy
The glad fruition of its favored work:
And ne who dsregards this august truth
In selfshly prociaiming to the world
OF any gift from the prolific years,
It's nine and through unholy methol-
gains
Enactment Of unequal laws, that those
Who use must help enrich the schemcr's
purse,
But perpetsatcs a theft by legal form.
When we resolve the complicated web,
The shreWd cutaneIemcnts for business
