Getting Ready TO Shoot Strikers

Washingto Dec. 9.-Gen. A. G.
Ainsworth, in his report on the militia
of the United States, says that 1t is
estimated that about 100000 men
would respond to repel invasion of the
United States or suppress insurrection,
the percentage being the same as that
estimated for the preceding year.
Protected by the Dick Militia bill the
government is using every means TO
provide against the protest Of the
maddened army or the unemployed and
the desperate resistance against wage
reduction. The mayor Of Kansas City
recently stated that they could force n
hundred thousand men in the city to

of Germany, in the van of modern
scientific achievement. But for the
laurels on his brow Prof. Loeb, re-
ceived the grand bounce from the
Rockefeller institution, and is now
on the faculty of Science in the
University of California. And why
this ignominous dropping from the
Baptist sanctuary Because the
analysis of the origin of thought has
established forever in the minds of
advanced humanity, the theory of
non -vitalism, or the monistic theory
of the universe. as opposed to the
ancient theory of vitalism OF dualism.
In other words matter hears with it
its own causes for phenomena.
This does away completely with the
idea of authority, and substitutes
simply investigation of material
phenomena, and there is no other
kind.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
socialists familiarize themselves with
the positions of modern science. AS
Prof. Virchow of the Univirsity of
Jena said the theory of evolution
leads directly to socialism" No
wonder that institutions which are
the bulwark of capitalism, do not
care to teach with too loud a mouth
the latest deductions of science.
When authority is gone, when the
masses learn how they have
been deceived by the ruling class
through the ages, they can never
more be enslaved, but will build a
fair and just society on the ruins of
the abortions and distortions of the
past.

Washington, Dec. 9. Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, was the chief
speaker at today's session of the an
nual meeting of the national child
labor convention.
Mr.. Gompers refuted the charge
frequently made that the federation
is not sincere in its opposition to
child labor and acts through selfish
motives. He declared the labor or
carnations were the first and have
been the most successful advocates
of laws against child labor.
Without any outside help, Mr..
Gompers said, organized labor sue
ceeded in having such laws enacted
in Alabama, Tennessee, Texas and
Oregon. Laws protecting women
workers also have been championed
by organized labor.

A VIOLATION OF
S-HOUR LAW
Mayor of Helena Arrested Officers
i'm Livingston Refuse 20
Prosecute.

COmrade Rees Davis has put the city
of Helena on its defense through his
complaint of the violation of the eight
hour law by the city authorities in
connection with labor employed. The
case in instance is upon the police
force. Mayor Purcell is summoned to
appear Dec. 20 to represent the city
on charge of misdemeanor. 1t is
stated that if the law is held to be
constitutional il will affect nearly
every city and town in the state. If all
unionmen had the courage Of their con-
vietions, and would undertake to see
that the capitalist state kept its own
laws there would be some stirring
among the dry bones.
The Livingston Trades and Labor
council have commenced legal pro-
test on the same grounds, in con-
nection with contract to lay the
cement paving of the city. This
contract was let to a man by the
name of Ben Hagar for the last two
seasons. He has worked his men
nine hours a day and some of them
longer. For the past three months
the trades unions of the city have
been trying to have him arrested.
Frank Bender, justice of the peace,
refused to issue a warrant on the
ground that Hagar was only work
ing the men eight hours, the ninth
has been simply overtime. Justice
of the Peace Allen, after much evi
dence being produced, issued a
warrant and County Attorney Stark
on being asked to prosecute the case
refused, saying that the warrant was
not properly drawn up, and on his
being entreated to draw one up in
the proper manner refused to have
anything to do with it.
The Trades and Labor Council
have taken the matter up to the
attorney general, and it remains to
be seen whether a capitalistic gov.
ernment, composed of slaves
cringing for job, will make a move
to see that the state laws are obeyed
when it is the working class who are
benefited, in opposition to the EN-.
ploying class. A workingman j:
foolish to think when he votes tc
put men in Office selected by the
capitalist class that they will do any
thing for him.
Bender was elected on the demo
cratic ticket, and Stark on the re
publican, on a platform with la
Dor clause, declaring for an eigh
hour day. but they are both agreed
in opposing the unions that are try
ing to enforce the law.

THE LAST WORDS
OF VICTIM
OF Loveless Marriage--Barbarism
i'm Punishment Still
Reigns.

Windsor, VT, Dec. Stood help the
rest Of my sex who are tied TO a man
they do not love.
"I am a martyr to my passion to
live after the dictates Of my heart. If
society will lay down such cruel laws as
prevail, it must expect retaliation from
those whom its rules grind down.
"I have no regrets. Ny act was the
inevitable result of being who had
been made insane by suffering from
which there was no relief without a
desperate act. 1t was the act Of a
tortured mind. Ny last word is one of
pity for the women who are suffering
in the same way have suffered"
If there was ever an incident Of
modern times that testified to the in
herent barbarism of the present historic
epoch, called civilization, il is the
recent legal murder of Mary Rogers,
and the above words in which she gave
the causes of her crime.
In the first place there is not a
eriminalogist in the world that favors
capital punishment. That includes
those of the greatest renown and au-
thority, Caesare Lambroso, of the
University of Milon, Eurieo Ferri,
Superintendent Broekway of the Ell
mira Reformatory, and others. The on
ly scientific method of dealing with the
criminal class is through reform meas
ures where possible, treatment for
diseased conditions where necessary,
and segregation under the most cheer
full and favorable conditions, where the
ease is hopelessly degenerate. Crime
argues a diseased condition, and that
the state chooses to commit murder
simply shows that il is in a benighted
condition of primitive savagery.
But il is the cause of the crime that
appeals most intimately to every so
cialist-the despairing cry of a woman
living in unholy union with a man
whom she loathed. Any union of man
and woman that is not based upon af-
fection is a violation of physical and
moral law, and should be odiOus npd
condemned in the institutions of 50
eiety, for the protection of the future
race if nothing else.
Thousands of men and women are to-
day living under the conditions in
which Mary Rogers lived. They exist
in that living hell because of economic
causes. Women marry for homes, are
helpless TO provide for themselves;
men exert the age-long right of master
ship, or a sense of responsibility holds
them, while hatred sits between the
two at board and freside.
This is not to condone the woman =
act. The divorce court was before her,
or she might have gone away, or she
may have had the criminal mind. The
socialist looks on the homes that cap
italism is shattering and shudders, looks
to the time when no economic or con-
ventional cause will bring its com
pulsion upon those, who move into the
sunlight of love as love points the way,
and sanctifies the recognition Of the
state:

DR. L. E. Holmes. of Helena. has
written a paper on the Mental
Mechanism" which was read be-
fore the Montana Medical Associa-
ton. and which has recently APP
peared in the Medical Sentinel.
Briefly speaking, the paper is an
analysis of the mechanism by which
what is admirably spoken of as
thought is produced. His first SEN
tence gives the key to the treatment.
Psychology must be based on
mental physiology else it is deduc-
ton from suppositions more or less
false, or an induction from pheno-
mena lily understood, generally mis-
construed and often misleading. I"
The demonstration goes on to
show that the brain functions through
a division of labor among the cells
forming it; that is certain cells are
specialized for the purpose of re-
ceiving certain impressions. as sur
face appearance, flavor, language
and so on. The intellect cells are
set apart, and receive no direct
impressions from the outside world
all comes to them second hand
from the deposits of the sense cells
through connection effected by
nerves, or vibratory waves. Mem
ory is an impulse wave from sense
cell to an intellect cell. Thiswave
motion is an electrical impression
of what the cell has received through
the external sense.
No object as a whole has a brain
cell or thought center by itself.
The thought or concept is formed
by a synthesis of the impressions of
parts, properties, and relations of
material things. Never can we
think of that by which one or more
of the senses has not been impress
ed. Instinct is simply the impress
sions that, during the countless
generations of evolution, through
the ancestral brain, have built the
present cellular structure. Genius
is also an inherited cell form adapted
to a certain line of work. The cells
that sontain the impressions for
the solution of heavier problems
must be of larger size and higher
quality than those used in simple
acts. The brighter offspring
bear these larger cell forms, and
advance the race.
Thought is the wrought product
of the impressions of external crude
forms. without experiencing SEN
sation the intellect cells are unable
to act. Contact with the external
world is necessary in order to en-
able the mind to preserve its sanity.
Without this contact the mind works
only on its stored up impressions
through atavism.
The line of argument is along that
adopted by Prof. Loeb of the Uni
versity of Chicago. in his epoch
making work. The Physiology of
the Brain" The book placed Prof.

The adulteration of milk, with its
awful consequences to infants and
invalids, had grown to enormous
proportions all over the country be-
fore organized society began to in
tervene. By the beginning of 1909,
twenty-six states and territories, in
cluding the District of Columbia
and Porto Rico, had decided that
trading class morality under the
competitive system failed to pro-
duce the best and most rapidly i'm
proving supplies" of milk, and had
enacted laws for its inspection. Yet
despite these laws the adulteration
still proceeds. In New York City,
during 1909, of 1910 samples of
milk taken from dealers for analysis
aoo5, or 81. n per cent, were found
to be adulterated. The arrests In
the city under the inspection acts
were 1913 in 1899, 400 in 1900, 464
in 1901, and 7aa in 1902. The diff
ferent methods of the Tammany and
of the Reform administration will
explain some of the disparity be-
tween the figures, but even with this
allowance, the general readiness to
make profits by illicit sales is strik-
ingly shown.
Well-nigh as instructive is the tes-
timony from Ohio. The dairy and
food department of that state was
created in 1886. After seventeen
years of inspections, arrests and
prosecutions, adulterations of milk
still continue. "Out of 100 sam

ory was present in all the adulterat-
ed samples contained imitation cof-
fee. consisting of broken Jumps of a
brown color made of wheat -four
or middlings, and another contain
ed pellets made of pea hulls and
other ingredients. Chicory, it
should be noted, was for long time
the main if not the only adulterant
of coffee. 1t is expensive, however,
and the need has arisen of mixing
it with a cheaper substance. Com
petition. in its lauded process of fur
nishing the best and most rapidly
improving supplies" has thus
brought about in this instance the
adulteration of an adulterant.
1t is in the mixture known as
coffee compounds" that the adul-
teration graft mounts to a crime
which might well, in Mr.. Kruger's
phrase, "stagger humanity" OF
eleven samples of these mixtures
analyzed by the Pennsylvania de-
partment in IS97-9S, six contained
no coffee whatever, and none con-
tanned more than IS per cent The
contents ranged from pea hulls (64
per cent in one instance) to bran
and the husks of cocoa beans. The
Ohio reports contain similar testi-
mony. One interesting sample, an
alyzed in 1900, showed ingredients
in the following percentages: sand,

Tea is more difficult of adultera-
tion-at least by domestic handlers.
OF course the thrifty and ingenious
Mongolian often tries his hand at
sophistication before the tea is ship
ped. Leaves of the wild tea plant,
leaves of the cultivated plant that
have withered before being picked,
as we'll as leaves that have been used
and then retired, have confessedly
been brought here. But it is doubt
full if great quantities of these have
recently reached the market. The
inspection at the ports is severe, and
the cargoes, if declared unfit for
consumption, are turned back. The
investigations of the United States
agricultural department some years
ago revealed the presence of a good
deal of inferior tea in the market,
along with much that had been
touched up with graphite to give
it a proper gloss. But of adulter-
ations in the proper sense the find
ings were few. Cocoa ard choco-
late, however, are very generally
adulterated. The Connecticut re-
port for 1902 records twelve out of
thirty EIGHT brands as "variously
adulterated," seven others being
mixtures marked compound" while
in 1908 eleven out of twenty nine
brands were found adulterated, seven
others being compounds.
