Gawthsop Presents Some Interesting
Thoughts As 10 What II
Would Bring About.
tBy J. G. GAwTHRopl

SEVEN DEVILS, Idaho, June H.
am out from one Of the largest
copper showings in the world, out
for short time to try to interest
capitalists, the friends and aids Of
the poor man to his equal sphere, the
opposite to Meyer, Haywood. Petit
bone and Debs. Say. do you know
that their class is raising hell in the
cities? read Of thousands Of fools
parading the streets Of Chicago,
Goldfield and other places under the
red nag order crying down capital,
the only source from which they can
hope to get an honest dollar. You
can not get work from a man, who
has no work to give, and a man who
stops to curse men of means is a
fool for want of brains and energy
together. something worthy of the
confidence of men who are waiting
anxiously to place their money into
that, which, in time, will return an
honest dollar for dollar.
But, while this money is being re-
turned how many dollars are dis
tributed to thousands of people for
labor. When President Roosevelt
said that Meyer, Haywood. Pettibone
and Hartman are undesirable citi-
zent. we found the parable of the
ant and grasshopper. The fedora
ttions began to howl, appoint commit
tees, travel and they threw their
money to the wind, but tell me what
did Hartman say? What did his
people do? / fail to hear. Guess
that Hartman was too busy attend
ing to his own business to howl.
| Wonder why the reports through
the East and Middle West are that
Boise, Idaho, is in fevor of excite
Iment over the Meyer. Haywood, Pet
tibone trial. So much have / heard
that l expected to find the city under
martial law, but to my surprise you
do not as much as hear the matter
mentioned on the street. A stranger
would scarcely know that a trial is
shaping. 1t is boosters OF excite
ment that keep up the howl. i know
one instance where kodak snap
shot was taken of citizens to rep
resent Mcfarland in disguise.
Socialism is anarchism and they
both lead to monarshism. Austral-
ia, a country run by a sociaiIstic
form of government for years, shows
as present an Indebtedness of $SOs
per capita. Well, these matters
should not worry me as there is a
living for every mothers son, who
works. But, suppose that Social
ism should prevail and their ideas as
to financial matters go into effect,
capitalists take stand the same for
their protection, as labor has for It's
protection. Labor says: I'VE want
your money. Capital says: All
right, how much? Labor says: $500
per day Capital agrees. Then la
for says: We gained this point, we
will strike them for $500, five dol
lars gained we will take ten dollars,
and so it goes. Suppose that men
of money would draw their money In
to vaults and bury these vaults. and
say: We can live. Close down
their coal mines, their factories of
every description. where would
those hungry stomachs be filled?
OF the farmer having no money to
pay him for his production? Where
] would the farmer get on? How
long would he last?
| Every man is adapted to his own
special calling and every man can
handle his own affairs better than the
man who has no experience along
lines out of his sphere. SO, 1t is bet
ter to hustle for ones own self and
secure something that will attract
capital. and by so doing you will
drive the wolf from your own door.
Listen to our Seven Devils poet,
when he says:
Don't NOPE about and hang your
head,
You'd make the devil blush;
But shoulder up your pick and pan,
And take your shovel, too.
Then, when you strike an ore vein.
Just pop the devil through.
Then dig, boys, dig. let US the ore
find,
And open up the Seven Devils
mine.
