Answer-becauSe both cut (po-
litical) wood either way.
The wage slaves have nothing
to lose by the Stealings of the
Amalgamated stock jobbers, now
being exposed by Lawson. They
can look on with complacency, to
the fact that ii was only the small
fifty thousand dollar exploiter who
got it where the lady is in the
habit of wearing the beads.
The Joe Toole Socialists" at
the state capitol building are look
ing askance, and are in a nebulous
state. With the Amalgamated
company indorsing Toole for gov
ernor, and the aforesaid Social
lists" standing against Peabody
ism i'll Montana" they are what
you might call in a hi of a fix.
Likely they will adjust matters

The great trouble with the pure
and simple union man is that he
wants the Socialists in the union
TO be union men all the year, and
on the day preceding election
move for suspension of the rules,
in order that he (the pure and
simple) may scab on election day
by voting the old party ticket,
against his class interests.
That's a poor bunch OF Social
lists over there in Missoula coun-
ty. There's the Grahams, the
Claytons, the Reeleys, the Cases,
the Tingleys and some others.
We gods! What an aggregation
of fighting Celts! International
Socialism means the peaceful So
luton of all the class struggles
throughout the wide world. What
will the Irish do in case of peace I?

even fight for home rule for Ire

In his speech at Basin on Labor
day, Attorney General Donovan
had a way out of it. 1t run
through his populist mind. He
advised the workingmen to save
all the money they made, and de-
posit il in savings banks. Imagine
a wage slave, providing clothes
and food for a family of eight or
ten on the current wages, and
working half of the time, placing
money in savings banks, and cop
ing with the capitalists in case of
labor troubles. Good advice, that.
Why not tell them to vote the
Socialists into power with view
of giving to labor what it pro-
duccs, and incidentally expatriate
populist and all other political
parasites.
when thieves fall out, men get
their just dues" Hence the ex-
posure of the stock deals of the
Amalgamated by Lawson. MIR.
Lawson declares that he is not a
Socialist. OF course not. Were
il not for the money that Lawson
receives from Everybody's Maga-
zine, and his bitterness toward
Rockefeller, on account of getting
the hot end of the poker, in his
thieving connection with the COM
mercial Mafas, the public would
have been in ignorance, as far as
Lawson is concerned. Socialism
is too honest a system for Law
son just yet, inasmuch as he is
desirous of continuing his plum
derings.
Attorney General Donovan was
in attendance at the meeting of
the Montana Federation of Labor,
recently held in Hamilton. What
union was he delegated from, or
for what purpose was he there

premise as the unlimited individ-

avoirdupois into the portals of a
swell wedding party, and when
asked by the coXcomb in charge
to account for his presence. was
equal to the occasion by saying
