know her can have some idea of how
nearly her writing conforms to the

the organs of the working class have
only given expression to what is com

these people are known. Anyone can
ascertain for himself the reputation
of these people in their home town in
spite Of the fulsome lies and adulation
of the press that serves the same in

Standard Oil.
Even a look into the faces and at
the forms of these men absolutely con-

Here is what IL. Collins thinks OF
Mrs. Hazlett when he is sober enough
to think at all:
al am able to believe anything
against this dangerous woman, this
stirr-up of strife, this malicious de-
famer of character who is a curse to
Montana, and will in time, perhaps
! too late, be so considered. She has
cursed the president, the flag and the
constitution"
Indeed, il appears that the charges
against Mrs. Hazlett are about like
those against Jesus Christ-a stirrcr

Yes; and il is due to these 'stirrers -
in history that the human race has
ever lifted itself out, in any degree.

the sins and vileness of ruling class

slave!" has been the slogan Of tn,

ages.
But the work slave has voiced his
protest. And socialism to-day is that
solemn and determined protest. And
its demands will never be settled un.
Ill they are settled right.

impeachment that "she has cursed the
president, the flag and the constitu.

ist philosophy she realizes that il will
take something besides curses to
change the president and the constitu.

first, and without that curses are use.
