simply to believe in socialism, to read
socialist literature, and to subscribe for
periodicals that have no bearing on
the actual, aggressive, local work of
the revolution. Socialists are conduct
ing a revolution against governments,
and to hold up your end of it you have
got to do it in the place where you
are, not at some far off indefinite time
and place. Go right to work right

Editor Montana News:

Editor Montana News;
Now that Teddy, the trust buster,
and J. Ogden Armour have denied
what Upton Sinclair has expressed in
"The Jungle" that meat unfit for
human food was sold in the Chicago
market and manufactured into food
products. wish to state that i can
prove that cow had calf in the car
the day we entered Chicago, and was
sold in the open market. Ask any
stockman IL such meat is fit for food.
I see by the papers that Teddy has
busted the beef trust twice, and now
is going to bust IL again. What a
farce.
Yours for the revolution.
JOHN HUDSON.

Comrade Baker of Livingston wakes
wrathy over the Idaho affair. Here is
his latest outbreak:
"I have just been reading Comrade
Debs call to action. II is grand, and
sublime Nothing would please me bet
ter than to be present at the sham
trial by the sleuths that are trying to
destroy our comrades with hired muir
ders, to try to crush out organized
labor. Will the laboring class permit
our comrades to be railroaded to the
gallows by lot of red-handed scoun-
drels' No. cannot vet think it. We
must be on guard, as Comrade Debs
says. The comrades have had a faith
full man on the spot to watch their
damnable plot, and the trial in the
lower court. They don't go by law,
only when it suits them. They are q
lot Of cut throats."

High Jinks for Local Helena.

Wednesday, May 16, Local Helena
indulged in a little harmless hilarity.
Two lady comrades, Graham and Lar
son, got up a Dutch lunch for the local
meeting. The business meeting was
conducted with al ong table draped
in snowy linen and decorated with ap-
petizing suggestions, in sight. When
business was over the ladies brought
in steaming plates of wieners, (not
the "Jungle" kindly sauergraut and the
most delicious genuine black bread,
made by Frau Luehman. Comrade
Luehman furnished creamy Limburger
chmeese that couldn't be beaten. Then
there was coffee, of course. Comrade
Provost, the brewery man, had brought
up a suspicious looking drum from the
brewery, but the socialists were afraid
of it. Comrade Bodach passed around
the cigars, and the revolters did eat
and were filed. A number Of visitors
were present. After the tables wer,
cleared away an hour was passed al

There are always two sides to
any question, the catalogue house
proposition is no exception. While
the farmers may be in error when
they fail to patronizc the home
merchant, and may be charged
with selhsnness and lack Of inter
est in home affairs it is well to
take into consideration that the
merchants are not blameless. How
many retailers can be found in the
country towns whose shelves are
filled with shop worn goods, whose
methods of business are behind the
times all because they lack the en-
terprise and business acumen es-
sential for their calling. Many Of
these merchants never spend a cent
for advertising in their local papers
and you will find that some are SO
backward as to even ignore the
placing of a sign before their stores,
they never make an effort to secure
trade that is diverted from them
daily through the enterprise of the
different mail order concerns. 1t
matters not what effort may be put
forth to curtail the mail order bust
ness, such efforts will fall fiat and
dead unless the merchants arouse
to the fact that they must cooper
ate, must become more active, and

Is THERE NO
OTHER PLACE?

Is there no place in which to asSail
Christianity but divinity school? is
there no one to write infdel books eX-
cept the professors of Christian theol-
ogy? Is a theological seminary an APP
propriate place for a general massacre
of Christian doctrine? If the express
sion of these infdel sentiments by
Christian teachers makes a marked
and saddening impression on mature
minds, how must it affect the young
people in attendance at the univer-
Sity? These young people are not
contaminated by the teachers of Spir-
ltualiSm, Theosophy and free thought
who abound in Chicago, but when the
very men whom they regard as the pill
lars of the faith bend under them like
a broken reed, it is inevitable that
they will leave the university con-
