My boy asked me, "Why didn't the peo-
pie get together and say we won't have any

Because" said I, each one was trying
to get ahead of the rest instead of helping
them That's foolish question"
'And the thirst of the people was great,
for it was not now as it had been in the
days of their fathers, when the land was
open before them, for every one to seek
water for himself, seeing that the capitalists
had taken all the springs, and the wells, and
the water wheels, and the vessels, and the
buckets, SO that no man might come by the
water save from the tank which was the
Market"
"Why didn't they want to take the wheels
and the buckets?' said my son, when they
could have charged two pennies for draw
ing from the springs?"

story"
"Well, pa,' said the child, "didn't the
capitalists really begin by getting the
springs? If they didn't, they had no more

Old Parties Suddenly Abandoned and
New Organization Formed.

San Francisco, Nov. 6.-The complete
vote for mayor is: Schmitz, Union Labor,
21,8o6; Wells, Republican, 1867; Tobin,

was organized as result of the strike of
teamsters, stevedores, marine fremen and
other water front employees last summer
The labor men voted solid for the head of
the ticket, but scattered their votes on cam
didates for other Offices They may elect
three supervisors. The patronage offices
were won by the Republicans, and the
Democrats will elect nine out of eighteen
supervisors. Under the new charter the
mayor has great power and appoints the
boards of education, public works, police,

A Trusts Earning Power.

A New York financial journal has made
an analysis of the wealth producing capac-
ity of the United States Steel corporation,
particularly known as the steel trust, and
the result of its investigations is really as
tonishing.
In six months, according to its own Of
fcial statement, this gigantic trust cleared
over $4,000 900 in profits. This is a sum
so large that it cannot be readily compre-
hended, excepting by comparison.
The comptroller of the currency in his
report for the year 1900 gives the net earn
ings of the 3,871 national banks in the
country as $6o,68I 900. In other words if
the profits of the steel trust for the next
six months are as great as for the past six.
it will earn for its stockholders $4,000, 900
more than all the national banks in the
United States.
It is further pointed out that II OF the
greatest railroad systems in the country,
comprising 1888 miles Of road, earned
last year only $Io0, 10000, while the trust
rolls up profits at the rate of $Io8ooo, 600
yearly.

my Son, therefore read unto him from the
book of Equality" these words, saying,
"There was certain very dry land, and all
the water was brought together in one
place, and there did the capitalists make a
great tank for to hold it.
"Why didn't the people make some
tanks?" asked the boy.
Because" said l, banking laws prevent
ed them; don't interrupt And the CAPT
talists said unto the people:
"For every bucket of water that ye bring
to us, that we may pour it into the tank,
which is the Market, behold we will give
you penny, but for every bucket that we
shall draw forth to give unto you, ye shall
give us two pennies, and the difference shall
be our profit, seeing that if it were not for
this profit we would not do this thing for
you, but ye should all perish"
Said my son, "Why didn't the people
drink the water instead of putting it into
the tank ?"
Because" said I, "it didn't belong to
them at all; do be quiet" "And it was
good in the peoples eyes, for they were du1l
of understanding. And after many days,
the water tank, which was the Market, over
flowed at the top, seeing that for every
bucket the people poured in they received
only so much as would buy again half a
bucket"

But One Weapon Left.

Here is new one Judge Kohlsaat is
making reputation for himself as an en-
joiner. The weapons of labor are usually
regarded as the strike, the boycott, the
union label and the ballot A Kansas CITY
judge has established precedent for en-
joining men from striking. Judge Woods
tried to prevent the leaders of the A. r. u.
from declaring strike. Judge Kohlsaat,
the arch enjoiner, has ruled that picketing
in any form is unlawful, and hence if the
above precedents hold true, labor can be
stripped of every means of calling and car
rylng on strike. Now the boycott and
the union label have been given taste of
the judiciary's "cure-all," as remedy for
labor's dissatisfaction. Judge Kohlsaat last
week issued an injunction against the Gus
tom Clothing Makers union, restraining its
officers and members from interfering with
the business of Cincinnati clothing firm
by issuing circular stating that the firm is
unfair to organized labor.
By the order the union can not inform
labor unions and papers that the firm is un-
fair to organized labor, and that it refuses
to use the label of their union.
During the last few years every weapon,
used by labor for the purpose of assisting
it in bettering working conditions, has been
given, at various times, damaging blows
by those from whom they should be least
expected.
There is an excuse for employers to
adopt every means within their power to
embarrass the situation of striking en-
ployes, but for the servants of the people
to do this, upon the merest pretense is
treading upon dangerous soil
1t is getting SO that it is almost mpos-
sible for labor to make united effort for
better conditions without coming in con-
tact with the law, if not statutory it is
"judge-made' law What is regarded as
criminal today, was conceded to be right
several years ago.
There is, however, one weapon that can
not be enjoined and which labor does not
seem to know how to use; vet it is the
most powerful and effective, and at the
same time the most peaceful when used
rightly-THE BALLOT
Politicians and others may advise against
it, but labor must sooner or later make use
OF it. 1t must learn to vote together as
we'll as to strike together.-Labor World.

Clear Recognition Of Class Struggle.

/ The Ohio state committee of the Social
ist party has sent the following communi-
cation to the Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company, of Portland, Me-, the concern
which discharged from its employ Harry
c. Thompson, nominee for governor on the
Socialist ticket, who for years had filled the
position of cashier in the Cincinnati office
of the company, and whose only fault was
that he had joined the Socialist movement
Union Mutual Life Insurance Co., Port
land, Gentlemen: We are informed
that you have terminated the contract OF
Mr.. Harry c. Thompson as cashier of your
Cincinnati agency, stating, I'VE are positive
that it will not be for the best interests OF
this company to retain in its employ a per-
son holding the views of Socialist or who
belongs to any party organization which
aims to destroy the conditions under which
only it is possible for institutions like our
own to exist and prosper
Mr.. Thompson is the nominee of the So
cialist party for governor of Ohio This ac-
ton of yours is of more Importance than its
personal effect on him; though all people
who hold human life and character as sac
red as we do, will join with us in stating
that it is matter of very serious import.
If representative corporation attacks a
representative individual for his views upon
economics and government, we desire that
the issue which you have so clearly stated
should be fully considered
The Socialists believe in insurance, but
are convinced that the evolution Of human
life and needs call for readjustment of the
manner and results of its operation. If the
interests of the people are not identical
with those of the corporations, it is only a
question OF time before the corporations
must give way We believe in evolution
and the power behind evolution
The Literary Digest for September 28
contains several articles which show that
economic questions are becoming of great
er national importance every day, and are
not matters of concern only to what YOU
consider an insignificant Socialist party.

which rulers and money interests have set
themselves in vain. Socialists are the pa

PRIVATE VS.. PUBLIC
RAILROADS.
Professor Frank Parsons Gives 25
Reasons Why One is Superior
to the Other.
Difficulties With Private Railways.

1. Wrong aim: Private profit in place Of
the public good, dollars and cents instead
of social service, dividends for few instead
for all, mastery and money instead of part
nership and manhood.
e. Antagonism of interest between the
owners and the public.
3. Lack of coordination or else a con-
sofdation too vast and powerful to be safe
in private hands; giant monopoly over
riding and defying the regulative power OF
government.
a. An economic waste of hundreds OF
millions year.
s. Watered stock and inflated capital,
about half the capitalization of our rail
roads being fictitious, according to Poor
and other high authorities
e. No effort to free transportation from
capital charges by the progressive cancella-
ton of bonded or other indebtedness. but
on the contrary, progressive piling up OF
capital without even the writing off Of de-
probation.
?. Higher charges than need be; an ef-
fort to obtain all the traffic will bear.
g. Fluctuating and chaotic rates favor
ing speculation but throwing honest pre-
vision off its hinges.
g. Unjust discrimination between per-
sons, places, and industries. Free passes,
secret rebates, differential preferences, etc.
TO- Excessive reduction Of rates at
competitive points and overcharges on To-
cal traffic to the injury of the country dis
tricts and the over rapid growth of the
cities.
II. No effort to relieve the pressure in
the tenement districts Of the great cities.
IL. Defiance Of law when it interferes
with powerful railroad interests.
I3 Purchase of legislation when prac-
ticable and useful to railroad interests.
H. Building and sustaining other mon
opolies and trusts, by privileges that en-
able them to control the markets.
15 Creating millionaires and disturbing
the fair distribution of :7ealth.
16 A cause at times, of industrial dis
turbances and depression and even panic.
H. Gambling in railway stocks and
manipulation of their value by see-sawing
traffic; withholding dividends, or paying
unearned profits, etc.
I8. Exorbitant salaries for managers,
with long hours, low wages, blacklisting.
and other unfair treatment for ordinary en-
ployes, and disturbance of industry by peri
odic strikes.
19. Insufficient regard to safety Of en-
ployes, passengers and the public.
2o Imperfect coordination with the
military departments in time of war.
FL. Injury to political honesty and good
government through railway lobbies and
the corrupting pressure of enormous pri-
; vate interests.
22. Great opportunity for success by
fraud and indrection. (Read Wealth
Against Commonwealth
23. Moral debasement of business men
and degradation of the ideas OF youth

owned by private corporations and man
aged for their profit
