A Bee Story.

Arthur Belts, the u. s. weather re-
porter, lives in house that was built
in 1860 For the last four years it has
been haunted with bees. and different
members of the family have been
stung from time TO time. In very
hot weather they have sometimes got
possession of the house, darkening
the very windows thereof. Their ha-
bitation was over on the east side be-
tween the walls. On the 18th of Sep
TENDER James and Wilbur Lemon
came to the old residence for the pur-
pose of having battle with the bees.
They succeeded and secured 1870 pounds
of honey, half of which was given to
the reporter, and half to Lemons for
their victorious services. Though
they had to tear up the house some
what, everything was left in good
shape. Thanks to James and Wilbur
Lemon. -Ridgeway Review.

REAL AND BOGUS DEMOCRACY.

All Of sudden the democratic editors

doubleheaded attack of the democratic
party against socialism and plutocracy,
which shows that they have received
their "cue" and that this is the latest
Democratic Issue" This party which
has stood on every side of every issue
that has been invented in the fertile
brains of politicians in Jumping together
such widely variant issues as socialism
and plutocracy, is forcing down about
the biggest pill the voter has ever been
called upon to swallow.
Socialism and plutocracy are the dead
liest foes that ever faced each other;
the real struggle in the world today is
between them, and it is doubtful il
either will look mp from the mortal COM
bat to bestow even a smile of amuse-
ment upon the obtusive democratic jack
ass,
Socialism is the only democracy in the
world today. Political democracy was
fought out and won one hundred and
thirty years ago. The democratic polit-
ical issue died then. and that which con-
tinues under the name, democratic, is
bogus, and all its issues are bogus.
IT, ,.aI I.s,ot A. ,,...Il .oIo,r =.
the industrial despot-the real battle of
democracy is in the field of industry and
the real democracy is industrial democ-
racy or socialism.
The political revolution Of our fore
fathers did away with political King
George and his class; the revolution by
by ballots today is to do away with in
dustrial King Rockefeller and his class
the capitalist class.
The first revolution gave the govern
ment 10 the people; the revolution Of
today will give the industries 10 the
people. The first revolution turned our
political masters into political servants;
the last revolution will make our in
dustrial masters into industrial sery-
ants the first gave every adult male
political enfranchisement; the last will
give every adult male and female indus
trial enfranchisement The first was
preparatory; the last is fundamental.
And what do the bogus democrats up
hold nowi
They stand for competition in bust
ness, or the capitalist system, which
means they uphold the private capitalist
or the industrial master Of today. They
claim democracy, and stand for master
and n serving class in industry. They
see nothing wrong in one class Of citizens
holding the power 10 refuse employment
or the means Of life 10 another class. or
to exerise mastership over them in indus
