We call the attention OF our readers
to the article in another column en-
titled; Organization which is only
one of series to be presented our,
readers on this all important subject.
If an army were to march over our
fair land laying waste its fields, or
chards, VINEYARDS and meadows, desc
Grating our churches and violating
our homes you would at once spring
to arms and bidding adieu to home
and it's beloved associations, and
counting possessions as naught, you
would Law your life willingly upon the
altar of your country and for such act
YOU would be held in grateful reme1n-
brance by all who love the priceless
jewel of freedom.
But an organized force is doing by
artifce all that could be done by armed
bodies of marauders and some of you
are not even willing to devote a small
portion of time and a moieV of your
possessions to repel the devastating adj
vances of organized greed.
To attempt as an individual to fight
the mighty trusts and corporations
OF today, you would show less Wis
dom than the patriot who refusing to
become al integral part of an army,
should offer to fight, alone, the serried
columns Of the armed enemy.
The organization af capital must be
met by cooperative effort of labor or
we must part with our liberties. We
cannot much longer delay if we would
preserve our homes and our manhood.

Some one has said: "Minorities are

frequent proof of the truth of this say
ing.
In order to execute it is, perhaps,
necessary to be guided by the major

majority is right and were it not for
the minority the race would 1egener-

Wise majorities adopt enough of
the demands of the minority to con-

the majority is not wise enough to do
this it is very soon Ovcrthrown and
the minority becomes the majority

1t seems to me that no thoughtful
person who has given any consider
able attention to present economic and
political conditions, can doubt for a
moment that we are surely and rap
idly approaching a crisis in the his
tory of the world
In economies, the division of labor
has proceeded with stupendous strides
until today by means of multiplied
machinery and improved methods OF
doing business production has reached
enormous proportions; proportions
that would have astounded the last
generation and vet those whose toll
creates SO abundantly go cold and
hungry, and they are denied access to
the opportunities so profusely pro-
vided for the development of mind and
soul.
All this is wrong and all classes
must perceive the evil, but a feverish
desire to accumulate wealth has
blinded most of us to our manifest
duty
a weighty responsibility rests upon
every thoughtful person and it is the
undoubted duty of all to read, inves-
tiUate and think
