front Of the house. lie created the new plan by giving birth to it. An idea is born as a child of brain as truly as a babe is born of woman. Now this car Penter would not think Of using the lumber and brick of the owner to ex- press his creation. He must first offer his child, his idea to the owner. The owner has not contracted with the car penter to crsate. cut only to execute So if the idea of the carpenter is valu- able it should be subject of purchase, aside from the price paid for the rental of his executive mind used in directing plane. saw, hands and feet.
 Or perhaps a sufficient price may be agreed on covering rental of mind and tools and purchase of ideas. It must be seen that, mere execution of orders given by owner to carry out his mental creations, creates nothing and there fore owns nothing. But if the carpen- ter creates, designs, forms or shapes, and his ideas are taken without com pensation, he would seem to have just claim to ownership of his own ideas as created and shown forth in the house, and he would have an amount of actual ownership in that house. The Socialist myth that physical labor creates wealth" is exploded. Yet it is on that foundation that many labor disturb i ances rest. The Socialist says: The owner may conceive or create the plan of the house in his mind, but he can not picture it forth without the work man, and so long as the workmen ac- tually do the physical work they could own what they create" A workman carries some boards to the building and horse hauls some more which "cre- ates'S and to which should the building l partly belong, both work and both ex- ! ecute, but neither originate or create ! any wealth whatever. Both are paid 1 as agreed, understood and full equiva- { lent for their services. The horse his oats, hay and water, and the workman his money. The man who sells the . brick for the house creates nothing, ! yet the bricks are necessary to picture i forth the original mental creation. The man who. sells physical labor creates nothing, yet labor is necessary to the material building. The brick seller, lumber merchant, glass maker and workman who sells his labor all belong 1 to the same class of sellers of material needed but none of them are creators of that building. Physical labor is not a creator. Mind is the only creator. 1 When the workman chooses to cease 1 selling his labor to execute the designs of another and starts to originate de- 1 signs himself and hiring others to exc | cute them, he abandons the army or sellers of labor and becomes creator of wealth by first giving birth to ideas and then buying brick, lumber, labor, glass and iron, and combining them to picture forth in material his original 1 mind child, his creation. Let all men get these points clear and save con- tests on the point of actual incontesti- ble ownership of property.
 The workmans little home for which ! he has toiled and saved will be ruth lessly taken from him by the mob when the labor union anarchists and social ists succeed in tearing down these laws that now insure the safety of the fami- 1 ly, the home and mans personal fiber ! ty.
 | Let no labor union be impudent enough to order a home owner as to when he shall open or close his house, how short or long he may work in it, or whom he shall employ to help him, or what he shali pay for that labor. This citizen and property owner has the right to add to his house with his own hands, no matter what the law of the carpenters union be. He can paint his house, fix a water pipe, spade gar den, cook meals and wait on his own table, notwithstanding he thereby . breaks the laws of the painters plumb ] ers', gardeners, cooks and walters
 unions, and they could and would much more frequsntly assault and kill such men for doing these things if they were not protected by that law which insures personal liberty and preserves the ancient rights of man.
 1 The same law applies to all property, factory and homestead, The owners of factories have the absolute right to the management of their properties and must maintain such rights against any mob of bandits and law breakers. When men cannot sell their wheat, la bor, lumber or coal to a manufacturer
 either because he doesn't need it or cannot afford the price, they have the right to offer it elsewhere. But if they try by conspiracy and violence to tres- pass on the property or hurt his busi- ness in order to force the manufactur- CT to buy what he does not want, the law breakers should be confined by the authorities and made to work long enough to pay in full for the damage and loss they may have caused
 Let labor union anarchists and social ists clearly understand this personal liberty and property right of the Amer ican citizen is not to be broken or even i trespassed by the small minority of for eign bandits and law breakers without bringing down on them the stern hand of the law which protects our people in
 safety. It is quite right for religious bodies, Knights of Pythias, Labor Un- ions and other organizations to have their rules for their own government, but they have no right whatever to force those rules on others.
 Members of Labor Unions, acting as organized labor, have been so promi- nent in violence and impudent interfer- ence with the rights of others that manufacturers, merchants, lawyers and
