RARE REvlSl0NIST

Young John d. Rockefeller is q chip
of the old block. He preached again
last Sunday. His text was from Luke.
Sell all that thou hast, and distribute
unto the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven" One Of Johns
pluto friends wanted to know whether
I'VE should give up all Of our possess
sions, and Hockey replied: Sell all
thou hast that stands between thee and
Christ, and distribute unto the poor,
and thou shalt have treasure in hea-
ven." John added that Luke should not
be accepted literally, and for that rea-
son he doubtless offered the amend
ment, that stands between thee and
Christ" II 1T Is III order we would

STREET ,RAIl;WAYMEN.~

The employees of the Chicago street
railway system have organized without
.interf terence from: the corporation
managers. In some instances the lat
ter encourage the men to organize. A
button the size Of a silver dollar is
openly worn blythe motormen, guards
and conductors of the surface and ele-
waited lines, as a badge Of member
ship in the Chicago Street Railway
Union. That the prejudice Of the
street railway magHates :. has been
lived down is not. to be regarded ais a
miracle, but as. the. logical sequence
of a perpetual r.. agitation that has
awakened public sentiment, setting in
motion the wheels of progress that
even the grasping railway corporations
are powerless,<. to check. Therefore,
to avoid an irreparabie injury. all :ridi-
culous objections blocking the way OF
the progressive march of the wage
Garner were removed ana the men. orr
ganized, as is their privilege. The
handwriting on the wall gave warning
that the public are In no mood to tri-
file with private institutions growing
rich, arrogant and oppressive, abusive
Of power and privilege granted by the
will of conf1ding people. Thus, to
pacify the people, they sought the
good will of the employees by conced-
ing the right of organization.

THOSE ScABBY $ II !. !.

Many lodges Of the Amalmagated AS
ISOLATION Of Iron and Steel Workers
voted down the proposition Of the BILL
lion dollar: steel trust to take watered
stock in that concern. The corpora
ton came to the conclusion that it was
necessary to check such treason. The
wires were pulled up bob the same
band Of csabs In South Chicago, Mil
waukee and Bay View who played the
traitor during the big strike and an
nounce that they favor the profit
ing'' plan Of the u. S. Steel Corporation,
and they will secede from the Amalma,-
gated Association into which they
sneaked again after the strike was lost,
and form an opposition organization.
They claim about. 5000 members but
it is doubtful whether they have that
many hundred. The most appropriate
thing: the seceders can do is to elect
j: r. Morgan president Of their union"

Morgan through the Pennsylvania rail-
way, which owns the politicians who
control Pittsburg, The two independ-
e4t concerns used IAN outlet for their
finished products, and with Morgan
and the railways acting in harmony,
it is easily to be seen that the doom Of
the independents has been sounded.
The control Of the railways, steam
ships, fuel supply an raw material by
the Morgan people are so many clubs
in possession Of a giant who does not
fail to use them on his pigmy COM
petitors.

is certain most of them were at that
time employed. have always under
stood that in prosperous times the
drunk-bill is higher than in bad times.
Another old and well tried explana-
ton Of the cause OF unemployment is
::overpopulation." This is the argu-
ment of the man who knows one family
consisting Of parents and. two children,
and another consisting Of parents and
nine children. -. IT,
The first family is Comfortably off,
as the saying is The second family is
hard up. Therefore over-population is
the cause Of poverty. !, &.
He argues similarly with regard to
the lack Of work There are two men
after one job. Therefore there is one
man ;ins the world who is not wanted.

Now, In the first cause, the assump.
ton that the largeness Of the family
is the cause of poverty may be right.
r. But It may ALSO be- wrong. '. -
It happens sometimes that a large
number, Of, children is the: cause OF
prosperity Of family. A. family that
was hard up willie the children were
young becomes well-to-do as the child
rem begin to earn money
1t is not correct then to, say that
large families are the cause of poverty
They may be but they must first be
proved.
Now take the, case of the man who
cannot get work. It assumed that
there liz not enough work to go around

We may, note here that the people
who use this argument have only the
poor in their mind. They do not speak
Of the "over-population" Of the rich
people who do no work There are
many thousands Of rich who have INC
occupation" But it is never suggested
that they should emmigrate.
What does "over-population' mean
A country is over-populated> when PEG.
pie are unable with ali their skill 10
extract from 1t enough wealth to Keep
them in health and strength.
Is that true OF. the: country? Is it
true. that there: Is not enough means of
subsistence" for all our people? Is
there not enough food: fuel and shell
ter. and clothing for everyone to live
