THRILLING ESCAPES
AND DARING
:. RESCUES
PEOPLE SAVED BY MEANS OF
SCALING LADDERS.
Heroism Of New York Firemen--Build-
Ing Filled With Smoke Making
= E Rescue Difficult.

New York, Feb. Ia fire at No.
116 Williams street, shortly before G
o'clock this evening. was replete with
thrilling escapes and rescues by the
firemen. The blaze started in the wood
carving establishment of Bogert and
Hopp, on one of the lower floors, and
soon the interior of the building was
thick with smoke. SO dense was the
smoke that those in the upper floors
with difficulty made their way to the
fire escapes. Down these 40 men and
half dozen girls climbed or were
carried by the fire laddies, who did
heroic work.
One of the most thrilling scenes dur
ing the fire was the rescue of one man
and two women by means of scaling
ladders. They had made their way to
windows in rooms other than those
from which the fire escapes reached to
the ground. The man was overcome
with smoke while both women were
hysterical
The firemen. seeing the danger of
the three got busy with the scaling
ladders and after some hard work
managed to get all three in safety to
the ground.
The blaze was gotten under control
after half an hours work. The loss is
$4,000.

A Change has Come
in a Few Years

Until recent years the United
States of America has been regarded
as the most progressive and enlight-
ened country on earth, but its indus
{ ial and social affairs seem To be
on the decline or at stand still as it
still clings to the system of wage
slavery, and the barbarous methods
and ideals of the past. No country
can develope faster than its ideals
in military, industrial and social
affairs.
Our military system is a relic of
paganism and mediocrasism along
with that of other nations.
Our system is on a par with it and
a remnant of human slavery on the
installment plan which should be ban
ished forever. Government has be.
come a menace to popular rights.
The Declaration of independence
has become meaningless tumble OF
words.
The constitution has been made
foot ball for plutocratic parasite:

of either old party at the present
time is to misrepresent, rob and en-
slave the laboring class. No nation
on earth has been robbed and ex-
plotted as the American people.
and no people on earth shows so
bitter political sagacity or intelli-
gence. The federal and state gov
eminent are run by grafters and
misrepresentation of the real people
or laboring class who constitute IS
per cent of the population, and when
there is an investigation ordered to
ferret out some of the political ras-
cality which is so prevalent at the
present time it is conducted by
grafters and friends of the guilty
parties.
The investigations that are now
taking place are the rankest kind of
a fake, and are only prosecuted to
deceive the people. In fact the two
old political parties are the worst
enemies of the commonwealth that
exist at the present time. Instead
of protecting the rights and con-
serving the welfare of the people
they strive to enslave the masses and
have become oppressors.
If the common people expect to
retain what little liberties they do en-
JOY they must crush out the two old
parties and reorganize on different
lines and a new basis. The labor
ing class must be represented, and
rule in our national councils and
state legislatures. The govern
ment has been literally stolen away
from the people and turned over to
the corporationg and trusts and their
representations.

National Office
Gets Scoring

stenographer who, doing my con-
nection with the Office, has mani
tested a deep personal interest and
pride in the efficiency and work of
the Office.
On July II, 1905, the national
secretary notified me to look out for
another position after August l., as
he was going to try and get along
with one less man," which hardly
jibes with his excuse for bringing
the woman into the Office less than
month before. The plain facts
are that in one case it was to try
and placate woman, and on the
the other to get rid of one who could
not conceal his feelings about the
mismanagement of the Office. and
the use of party funds to perpetuate
personal friendship. 1t was my in
tention to quit the Office as l could
not stand the conditions.
fully understand that the issuing
of this statement will lead to all
sorts of accusations against me, in
cluding vindicativeness" to quote
the national secretary literally. If
an example of bitter. unreasoning
vindicativeness is wanted, it is
found in the person who requested
this woman placed in the Office.
Those who know me and my record
know that the question of a job was
never any consideration to me when
question of right and wrong was
involved.
As an indication of the capacity
of the present national secretay, |
call your attention to the bulletins

onic speaker, who was really a
Scandinavian speaker. The secre-
tary not knowing the difference in
the terms, and had not the trouble
between Norway and Sweden sud-
denly caused the speaker to cancel
his dates and return home, there
would have been a pretty mess.
Comrade O'Neal, who has been
doing more work than any two per-
sons in the national Office since the
first of the year, and Comrade Cap
Piles, have both quit the Office. II
will no doubt be no more congenial
to have others there, who can go
out with the national secretary and
his bookeeper and drink whisky.
The report on conditions of the
national Office which appears in the
minutes of the N. Z. c., meeting,
was written before Comrade O'Neal
made his statement. If an investi-

Tom Carter, the CRATER, would
be very appropriate, il you had
heard him explain what should be
done at the fair grounds. All his
suggestions are good from a capital
ist stand point, there can be no
doubt. But his concluding remarks
that the fair is to be lit up in great
electrical display nights, and the
sight seers from over the state are,
not only to be heeced days but by
lamplight also. He figures that the
day business will pay all expenses
and at night the graft will be clear
profit. That's good capitalist rea-
soning.
