One of the branches of the Y. M.

class where young men are taught
how to make wise" investments.
If the spirit of the Master they
profess to follow actuated the
prime movers of the association
they would have a class in invest
ments along different lines. They
would teach these young men to
know how dividends are produced

under what conditions and at what
great unwilling sacrifice on the
part of the workers. They would
teach them how contrary to the
spirit Of Christ are investments
for unearned profits. Christ came
to spread the social spirit, the
spirit CT brotherly love; today the
class in power is imbued with the
selfish spirit, the spirit of Every
man for himself, and the devil take
the hindmost."
Unless we stand for complete
economic justice, We do not stand
for justice in it's entirety.

BY ROSE PASTOR STOKES.

I do not believe that it is pos
sible to amass honestly what is now
called great fortune, although the
people who amass it may not be
conscious of anything dishonest in
their methods.
No, those who buy land cheap and
hold it for an increase in value are
not exempt. Land is necessary TO
life. No one has the right to hold
1t when by so doing he keeps it
away from others who need it. A
man has perfect right to as large
a portion of it as he himself needs
to live or labor upon, but no more.
1t is the depth of injustice, to my
mind, for any portion of society to
make a whip out of the necessities
of the rest of society, with which
they may whip the needy into line
to pay tribute so great that in spite
of the vast wealth that this latter
portion of society produces, it is
compelled to live in partial or com.
plete poverty.
There is pauperism to no mean
extent in this country. l have in
mind particularly the pauperized
rich. A pauper is one who, either
from inability or from unwilling
ness to support himself. is support
ed at the expense of the commu
nifty. The real paper is he who
can, but is unwilling to support
himself, is supported at the ex
pense of the community. The rea,
pauper is he who can, but is un
willing to support himself, thus
throwing the burden of his support
deliberately upon the community.
No one has a right to wealth he
does nothing 10 earn, unless it is
given him freely and willingly by
one who has earned it. Every adult
should render in service to the
community an equivalent of the
amount of wealth he takes out O.
the community.
Those who work usefully will

industry who coordinate labor, such
as the presidents of railroad sys-
tens, who receive large salaries for
their work. They are of the work
ers. They render valuable service
and receive compensation for it..
They are useful men.
There are, however, men who
live. without rendering service on
dividends and other forms of 'un-
earned increment" They are use
less members of society; and not
only useless. but parasitic; they
are a plague upon the human fam
lily.
There are many stockholders who
work and receive wages or salaries;
of course, in SO far as they are pro-
ducers they are useful and neces-
sary members of society; but in
their capacity as dividend takers
merely they are parasites, as the
dividend they receive bears no re-
, latiOn to and comes to them utter
ly regardless of any service they
may render.
Until the workers of the world
as a whole receive the value of the
product of their toll, and such a
thing as "unearned increment" is
wiped off the face of all lands, We
can have neither a civilization
worth the name nor any far-reach
| ing justice between men and men
Men can be neither highly civil
lied nor deeply just when they take
selfish advantage of the necessities
of other men.

to live in idleness upon the labor
of others, and unashamed eats his
bread in the sweat of another

The Chicago Record Herald asks TO
what is the Improvement in the gov
ernments finances dne?r and replies
as follows: In part to reduction in
military and other expenditures, but
principally to large increases in re-
ceipts from customs anG internal rev
enue sources. During January the ex-
penditures were about $2,750,OOO slss
than for the same month last year,
while the income was much larger. The
gain in customs receipts alone over
january. 1905, was over $4.5OO,OO0" !"
That this increase Is not mere acci-
dent is indicated by the fact that since
July last the customs receipts have
exceeded those Of the corresponding
period of last eyar by 22,5OO.O0O. The
gain has been continuous and normal.
and no rejection Is anticipated at this
time.

PRESS COMMENT.

El Reno American: The Times Journ-
al refuses to get excited over the rumor
that a new republican afternoon paper is
soon TO be started in Oklahoma city.
The plant and machinery are Ops-of no
least valuable assets Of a newspaper or
flee and It would require an outlay OF
100000, together with years Of hard
work and capable business management
to build UP another newspaper In Okla
homa City with the influence that elite
er The Times-Journal or the Oklahoman
now enjoys.
Whenever upme ambitious politician
becomes dissatisfied with tho editorial
policy OF newspaper, his first move is
TO set about TO organize a stock COM
pany 70 launch an organ that he and his
political friends can control Such a
newspaper never amounts 10 anything
politically. and never falls TO stir up
commercial strife In city where har-
mony has heretofore prevailed. II is
usually but short time until It's pro-
moters lind themselves at the tail end

Cuticura Soap combines delicate
