To Impeach a Pimple

Radicals among the Chicago labor
men are now agitating for the purpose
of securing a presentation to the
United States senate at its next ses-
sion of a petition demanding the i'm
peachment of President Roosevelt,
upon the grounds that he received,
or caused to be received" large sums
of money from Hartman and other ca
pitalist highbinders for campaign ex-
penses in aid of his own election to
the presidency. 1t is further charged
"that he is guilty of violation Of
mopriety by expressing an opinion
prejudieial to Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone," the imprisoned officers of
the Western Federation of Miners.
This is only waste of time and
energy, but it falls far short of the
mark. II would be idle TO impeach
the maladorous Roosevelt, even il such
a thing were possible, while leaving
the present system of exploitation un-
impeached. Roosevelt himself is but
a surface indication of the underlying
cause that is forever forcing the work
ers more deeply into the slough of
misery, degradation and despond. He
is but a capitalist pimple on the sur
face of human society indicating the
poison that turks in its vitals and
is eating away its life.
To impeach Roosevelt, leaving the
rule of capital untouched, would be
merely to remove one pimple to make
way for another just like IL, OF even
worse.
Capital has long since become a pub.
lie nuisance. 1t has converted the
earth into a shambles in which en-.
slaved labor is daily crucifed for pro.
fit, and the worlds market place made
den of unscrupuous thieves.
The need Of the hour is the impeach.
ment of capitalism and the breaking
Of its baneful rule. 1t is up to the
working class to do the job. Neither
time nor energy should be wasted in
impeaching pimples.

NOT so CERTAIN AFTER ALL.
Grandliquent Claim to supernal Knowl
edge Smashed.

Chicago, May William Pinker-
ton overstepped himself yesterday in
his effort to show the omnipotent
knowledge of his detective association.
As soon as the Chicago Journal pub.
lished the story about Meyer having
once been in the Joliet penitentiary,
Pinkerton rushed into the limelight
with the remark that he knew this all
the time and had positive proof of the
identy of the two men in the presence
of a bullet scar on the left hand.
An examination of Charles IL.
Meyers left and right hand showed
that no such scar exists. When asked
about this means of Identification
Meyer at once stretched out his hands
and stated that on this, as every other
point he courted the closest investiga-
tion.
Later Pinkerton admitted that he
had never seen President Meyer of the
Western Federation of Miners. When
he learned that he was wrong in his
"soar scoop" he sneaked back into
the darkness again where he has lived
so many years.
The story of Meyer being an ex-
convict from Joliet, ILL.,, for a Chicago
burglary has died down completely
since Freeman Knowles Of the Black
Hills has established a complete alibi.
The defense attorneys announce that
Haywood will take the stand in his
own behalf.

The True Imperialism.

Here, while the tide of conquest rolls
Against the distant golden shore,
The starved and stunted human souls
Are with US more and more.
Vain is your science, vain your art,
Your triumphs and your glories vain,
To feed the hunger of their heart
And famine Of their brain.
Your savage deserts bowling near,
Your wastes Of ignorance, vice and
shame
IL there no room for victories here,
No fields for deeds of famef
Arise and conquer while you can
The foe that in your midst resides,
And build within the mind of man,
The empire that abidesl

SOLDIERS OF THE REVOLUTION
The Monopolist.

The PROCESS of the western monop-
olist is thus pithily summarized in the
Chicago "Pubhc':
The monopolist said: "If we can
only cut the working man off from the
land, we can employ him at our own
price"
And they did so.
Then they said: eff we can get
his young son to work for us the in
creased amount of labor which will
be Offering will enable us to get the
two for about the price of one"
And they did so.
Then they said: ''Now for his
little girl; all three will only earn
what the father did at one time"
And they did so.
Then they said: "Now reach for
the mother. But she has to take care
of the baby. Oh, we will pay one
woman to take care of twenty babies,
and scoop the nineteen"
And they did so.
Then they said: "We don't pay
that one woman. Appeal to the public
It's so charitable.
And they are doing so.
Then the foxy one lay awake nights
60 think of something the babies could
work at, that he might coin few
pennies of the kids.
Make the nursery self-supporting
You know it would be so independent.
And they will do so.

The trades unionists are beginning
to appreciate the political work of the
socialists in behalf of the working
class. An article on Trades Schools
in the "Pattern Makers Journal"
says: cit will be remembered that
Milwaukee has nearly 10000 social
democratic votes here and consequent
ly has five men in the assembly and
one man in the upper house, which
men are, by the way, worth two dozen
of the old party politicians any time
or in any debate, so you see labor
was representated in our law-making
body and when they heard of this
manufacturers bill" (asking an ap-
preparation for private trade schools
in Milwaukee) "they decided to fight
it, which was the duty as labor's re-
representatives.. They fought it, or are
fighting it, with a bill which is entire
ly different with the other bill in
principle, because it calls for state
ownership of the school and also to
be controlled by the city school board,
the same as any other public school.
This bill was endorsed by the Wiscon-
sin State Federation of Labor, by the
Milwaukee Federal Trades, and by the
Pattern Makers Association. We
simply took the stand that if there
was to be any schools at all the public
should control them and not a few
leeches who fatten on the working
men, but still say they are their
dearest friends and all that"
