OOHAAH@HOSI O--ON@1S "want" instead of against each other, the demand for liquor will be greatly lessened. If together with these we will remove the possibility of making a profit by the vendor from the sale of liquor the traffic will pretty efectually disappear.
 Let us for a moment look at the pres- ebt situation. All of the means by which men apply their labor power to tattse nature to yield product are subject to 1imitIess private appropriation by wbomsoever can get them.
 The shreNdesi, most cunning, and usually the one most devoid of con- science gets in possession, and the rest must seek employment from these or starve.
 Few jobs and many men cause them tO bid against each other and bring the wages to the lowest point of subsistence, even though there is DO assurance of continued employment. The exactions of the employer and the uncertainty of employment, the all too often inability D secure employment at all, causes men to seek to get in possession of some of natures resources. There is DO better opportunity at the present time shan by preyiDg upon the morals of the commu- nity using the instrument of strong drink as a method.
 Few people realize the enormous profits from a joint kept in some back alley, usually called 'Blind Pig" From $lOO.OO to $5OO.OO a month and no capital required. Nor is much else required, only an unwholesome dis regard for the rights of others, and he is not the only business man with such disregard, And tl5e licensed saloon? We'll, it simply means that the would-be moral element in community is feeding upon the moral weddings to the amount of whatever the license is.
 A man is granted permission to sell liquor in community, provided he will divide the profit of his business with with said community to the amount of say $1, 200 per year. This license tax is fixed and must be paid regardless of the amount the vendor sells therefore the more he sells the greater his profits. If he is enterprising and works up trade so he can make ''ROOd money" the community feels that they should share in his prosperity and up goes the divy (license). Then MT. Saloonkeeper finds he must get in and hustle little harder for trade in order to pay his license and make a profit. When this hold-up of the degenerates by the respectables of community can be worked better with two saloons, a second license is granted then there are two hustling to build up the traffic, and so on. Whenever you hear man talk high license you may be sure that he is will ling to profit by the degenerate morals of his fellow citizens. He is real moral cannibal. We have seen what must be done. How shall it best be accom- plished?
 First. The able-bodied poor must be provided with an opportunity to apply their labor power without being required to support other able bodied people for

Blind Pigs or Saloons

the moral sense of every enlightened continuity is to eliminate the evil fe- suits caused by the use of alcoholic beverages.
 Ministers of the gospel have preached against it's use fot long time with no results. The church tried so long and accomplished so little, that some we'll disposed people who did not want to preach sought to secure legislation pro bibitipe the manufacture and sale of intoxicants.
 Th,s they succeeded in doing in some places only to find that the liquor inter ests had been alert and secured the fill iDp of the admin istrative offices with men friendly to them. The enforce ment of the law undoT such circhm- stances could not be secured. This led to the organizing of 8 political party for the express purpose o1 electing officers who could be depended on to enforce the law.
 This, too, was SUI -cessf1l in some places, but still whisky continued to be sold in spite of the best efforts of such officers. Tire present day effort seems to be to minimize the evil where possi- ble, and to cause the selection of people into committees according as they in- cline toward, or repulse the liquor traf- fic, 80 that while one community is a little whiter, because of the efforts to purify it, an anjoining community will be as much blacker, so that the general average remains about the same.
 Many years have passed and many people have spent their lives in this work with little, if any results. That alcohol is harmful, few will deny, and believing that good is predominant in man we have a right to assume that most peo- pie would be pleased if the evil results from the use of alcoholic beverages could be eliminated, as the sense of morality has become keener, with better enlight- enment of the race.
 Men have given closer attention to the cause of immortality in the same manner as they seek out the cause of any thing they wish to control.
 Why do men use intoxiCants? Why do men make and sell them when the majority of a community are opposed to their 50 doing and express their oppo- sition in laws prohibiting the manufac- ture and sale thereof are pertinent questions?
 For the former there are three distinct economic causes, each applying to dis tinct class in society. The poor use in. toxiCants mainly because it is the cheap est and most effective way at their com mand to provide themselves with ex- citement after their long hours of grind ing toil. The idle rich have much the same excuse. They have so much to consume for having done nothing that they too look for something to fur nish excitement, and liquor is handy be- cause it takes but little exertion to secure the required excitement by it's use.
 Between these two extremes there is

ours is found to be detrimental
to the people, then laws should
be made to protect the people
against encroachment OF combi-
nations, just as we'll as we have
laws to protect the people against
the encroachment of other evils,
which are found to be dangerous
to society. Like a lot ofchildren,
we are chewing the rag about
things Of little or no Importance.
In our blindness for the truth,
we allow ourselves to be dragged
around like a flock Of sheep, by
the herder Instead OF doing this,
would it not be wise to stop and
consider what we are doing? In
stead OF following a few schemers
who are sitting in the secret
chambers formulating plans as
to the best way to help them
selves, on the fruits of our labor,
and then make us believe that
they are working for the interest
of the country. Instead oflisten-
ing and always following these
men. would it not be better for
once to investigate curse Ives,
and seek the truth and be our
selves?
We must insist on our rights
or we will never get them. The
manufacturers should he made
to understand that we have a
right to buy the goods direct
from them, at the same price
as dealers are buying them as
long as we pay for them.
The railroads should be made
to understand that we are en-
titled to the same rate of ship
ment as the trusts, and We should
have laws to that effect.

Socialism. If this is Socialism,
then the constitution of the
United States is Socialistic.
l always was under the inn
preston that the constitution
of the United States was founded
on equal rights, and personal

of it is this:
The rights Of the common peo-
pie have been usurped by q band
of exploiters and these rights will
never be given back to the peo-
pie until the people themselves

Editor Independent,

1uAOoA
My dear sir:
In your issue OF December 20,
notice in an editorial item in
which you say that you have
been promised some articles on
economics from my pen. | hope
you will forgive me, MIR. Editor,
if should in any way offend you,
by telling you that | am little
inclined to believe that you are
trying to make fun of me. 1t is
true that there is a good many
things in this world and in even
in our Immediate neighborhood
and county, things which appear
to me very inconsistent, and !
am glad that you are willing to
publish some OF my ideas, and l
assure you that l appreciate it
very much.
When writing l shall confine
myself to what l believe is true
and if any benefit can be derived
therefr rom by anyone, be it ever
SO little, then my object has been
accomplished. do not lay any
claim to be able to write any
thing Of much interest. I do not
consider myself to be writer.
But as l have said, there are
some queer things which it would
perhaps not hurt to look into a
little. And thatis what l wish
to do by these articles.
/, There is a discussion in these
times OF ours, about political
and commercial economy, and
especially SO the trusts and big
corporations, such AS railroad
companies. the Standard Oil
Company and all other kinds of
trusts. Anyone who has read
the articles by Thomas w. Law
son published in Everybody's
Magazine knows something
about the manipulations OF the
Standard Oil Company, and how
the railroads have given reduced
rates to the Standard Oil and
other corporations, and thereby
favoring the trusts against the
independent shippers. We have
also seen that President Roose-
welt in his message to Congress
recommends government control
to regulate those corporations.
We are told that the Standard
Oil Company alone, derives a
divide d Of $45, 100000 a year.
And this dividend is increasing
year after year and is again in
vested in other property, such as
railroad systems, mining and all
kinds OF trust companies are
formed by this money system.
atically taken from the people:
by unjust methods.
But let us leave the railroads
and Standard Oil for alittle, and
look around in other directions,
and see il we cannot find some
business right at home which is
run on the same principles as
that of the Standard Oil Com
pany. Ii tell you that lumber
for instance, has been selling for
about 100 per cent profit, in
Ward county, for the last three
or four years. you will perhaps
not believe me. And yet it is a
TACT. Last spring happened 10
