socialism is right, but will not help

is the policy of the future, but the evo.

lists do not nominate any but party
members; so in order to have full
ticket in each county and city, or pre-
cinct, we must have locals and mem.
ers at large in every county and sub
division in the state. The capitalist
parties in this state have been run
from one office during the last three

the franchise to those who can read
the constitution was used to corral all
who could not pass the registration,
for the parties having control of the
election machinery. So you can see that
most of the capitalist reforms only
come when they will help perpetuate
the evils Of the past, or place more bur.
dens on the masses.

BEHIND THE BARS.

Behind the bars in Ada prison
In the mountains far away,
Lie three comrades who are miners
Though far more than that to-day,
They are leaders more than ever
Struggling for the dawn Of day,
"United Brothers. was their motto
Stand together was their call,
For united we must conquer
But divided we must fall;
But those three the truth were watch.
ing
And on them they had their eye,
And they called their bands together
Saying they must fall or die.
But our comrades, they were heroes,
And this was their last reply:
Working men we won't betray you
Though for your cause we have to
die
For humanity is our motto
And your offspring for to save
By the Gods we will stay with you
Till we pass into the grave.
Though our high executive officer
On our name has cast slur,
Calling us undesirable citizens"
To no cause can he refer.
No laws have we violated
Undesirable though we were,
With our children taken from US
Doomed to toll in mill and mine.
We have prayed to Him above US
And our tears have made us blind
30 you see it's no use praying
Asking God to make it right,
II we ever do get justice
Comrades, We will have to fight.
But not as our foes are fighting
For the gold that makes them blind
But for liberty and justice
And the welfare of mankind.
And then when the struggle is ended
If we all have stood the test,
What though we were poor and friend
less
If in this world we do our best;
They never call us heroes
Nor plant flowers on our graves,
But we want no empty honors
While our brothers still are slaves

The Real Ofense.

In a land where education is under
the control of the priest, Ferrer has
established system of private schools.
In land where 20 per cent Of the po-
pulation is illiterate, and where relig-
ious education is compulsory in all
state schools (whilst school attend
anee itself is voluntary, Ferrer has
founded a system of sound secular edu-
cation for those who care TO send their
schools free from clerical control. This
is the head and front of his offending.
He is an ardent and advanced edu-
cationist, and his mission has been to
diffuse enlightenment. This has brought
upon him the odium of the clerical
authorities. Ferrer Guardia must be
suppressed at all costs.
Guardian is a Spanish republican.
As a result of a republican revolt,
in 1856, he fed to Paris. There he

became a teacher of languages, and for
some time was secretary to a French
Minister. There also he became ac-
quainted with Madame Messnier, a
woman of means, whom he imbued
with his idea of instituting a system
of secular education in Spain. On her
death she left him $4,000, and with
this sum Ferrer, in 1901, returned to
Barcelona, and established and en-
dowed the system of modern schools
(Escules Modernas), of which there
are now ffty-three, chiefly in the
southeastern provinces; and to these
schools, Liberals, Republicans, Social.
lists, and Anarchists send their chill.
dren. In addition to this, Ferrer also
published some 30 textbooks, which
have circulated throughout Spain
The deadly animosity with which
clericalism regarded all this, can be
easily realized.

Ferrer and Moral.

And now we come to the only con-
nection between Ferrer and Moral.
Moral had a sister who became n
pupil at Ferrer's school in Barcelona.
This led to the two mems aequaint-
ance, and as result Ferrer engaged
Moral to do some French transla-
tions, and an agreement was to have
been signed the day following the out
rage. On the pretext that he was 60
ing for holiday, Moral left Madrid
on May 22d, and the outrage occurred
on the 31st. On hearing Of the out
rage, Ferrer at once went to the police
authorities and told all he knew Of
Moral. On June 4th, however, he
was arrested, and the Fiscal Becerra
del Toro, an ardent clerical, refused
bail. The schools were all closed by
order (though subsequently re-opened
in October last), and an embargo was
placed on Ferrer's property. From that
day to this he has been awaiting his
trial And now, at the instigation Of
the Fiscal before named, Ferrer and
the other persons accused are to be
tried by three judges instead Of jury
three judges all ardent clericals.
Thus every preparation has been made
to secure a verdict Of guilty; and IL
the verdict is "guilty," there &c
quite a possibility Of the verdict being
coupled with a judgment indemnifying
the victims of the outrage, and thus
disposing Of Ferrer's fortune and the
endowment Of tho "Modern Schools. -

Why is it that a man, who writes
a clear and legible letter, every word
of which is easily read, VIII wind it
up with an undecipherable QueTle-
que for his name; literally a nom de
plume that conceals his identity
completely, and which we often have
to paste on letter for the postmas-
ter to translate? Whatever else you
may write indistinctly let your name
be plain. We can usually make out
indistinct words in manuscript from
the connection, but the name has no
connection with anything in the let
ter. Therefore, do not practice any
commercial college hieroglyphics or
f1ourishes with your signature.
There are business men who inn
agine that much contorted sigma
ture is hard to forge, but the fact is,
that the hardest signature to initiate
is the plain one, as any writing ex-
pert will tell you.

not see anything unusual" observed
the fat man, except that he kept
the conductor waiting while he
scratched his ear" THAT was just
the point" explained the keen-eyed
man. He had to scratch his ear to
get his money. Chinaman keep
their car fare in their ears, some
times ten-cent piece and sometimes
a nickel. I've watched them dig it
out time and time again. It's a
more convenient place for carrying
change than in their trousers pock-

good sight better habit, too, than
holding coins between ones teeth,

HOW LINCOLN WON,
A Bad Looking Legal Case That Was
Saved by FrankneSS.

d. J. Brewer in Atlantic.
The lawyer whose honesty is
proved has the confidence of the
judge and jury. A story of Abra-
ham Lincoln is an illustration. He
was appointed to defend one charged
with murder. The crime was a
brutal one, the evidence entirely cir
cumstantial, the accused a stranger:
Feeling was high and against the
friendless defendant. On the trial
Lincoln drew from the witnesses full
statements of what they saw and
knew. There was no effort to con-
fuse, no attempt to place before the
jury the facts other than they were.
In the argument, after calling at
tention to the fact that there was no
direct testimony, Lincoln reviewed
the circumstances, and, after con-
ceding that this and that seemed to
point to defendants guilt, closed by
saying that he had reflected much on
the case. and, while it seemed proba-
bic that defendant was guilty, he
was not sure, and, looking the jury
straight in the face; said; "Are you ?"
The defendant was acquitted, and
afterwards the real criminal was de-
tected and punished. How different
would have been the conduct of
many lawyers! Some would have
striven to lead the judge into tech
nical errefs with q view to an appeal
to a higher court. Others would
become hoarse in denunciation of
witnesses, decrying the lack of posi-
tive testimony and the marvellous
virtue of a reasonable doubt. The
simple, straightforward way of Linz
coin, backed by the confidence Of
the jury, won.

Prof. Wiley, of the Department OF
Agriculturs, SAYS that inasmuch as
every 100 pounds of cothstalks will
yield six and a half pound of absolute
alcohol it is obvions that the ignorant
agriculturist has been allowing an
amount of wealth to go to waste.
Say that one acre will yield from
10 to IL tons of grain stalks or about
10000 pounds, and you have guam
tity 6 raw material which will pro-
duce l 300 pounds II ehselute alcohol
or ZIG gallons. Alcohol at the pre-
sent time is worth 40 cents a gallon.
Gro,nA in a wet condition and

for conversion into alcohol. Prof.
Wiley says that the alcohol derivable
from the cornstalks that now go to
waste this country E0sla not only
drive all the machinery of our fact3-
ries but would furnish the requisite
power for our railroads and steam

ASiatiC Cotton Growing.

American cotton seed planted in
the experimental grounds Of Corea,
Its acres being cultivated, yielded
the past season 100 bales, weighing
$4,000 pounds, says the British Beard
of Trade Journal, which adds.
The fiber is said to be soft, with
exceptional luster and we'll suited
for mixture in the spinning of the
yarn. 1t is valued at S11. 20 per hun
dred pounds. The people interested
hope to produce l 900 bales next sea-
son and 10000 the year following.
Estimates give It's, 900 as the possible
number of acres of cotton lands in
Korea, and the yearly yield of these
rs 100000 bales of 500 pounds each.
Experiments made In 1905 resulted
in 400 pounds to each acre.
The land experimental on was we'll
and carefully cultivated by intelli-
gent Korean coolies. No such in
tense cultivation. could Be carried
out On a very large scale, still, if
Japan can get 100000 bales of up
land cotton per annum from Korea,
it means just that much less in her
purchases in the United States. 4
sample of cotton grown in the Otto=
man Empire, part of 400 pounds
picked on less than an acre; is on ex=
hibition in London. The land on
which it grew was not cultivated
last year, the cotton growing on
plants left over from the previous
season. One hundred acres neaf
where this sample grew have been
prepared for cotton. These were to
be planted during the month of
February.

Mothers Love.

Selected
Few people stop to think that
their individual happiness is not
dependent on outside circumstances.
A habit Of happiness can be cultivat-
ed, like any other habit and just as
successfully.
Happiness is as much a duty as
cleanliness and morality. The cheer
full, hopeful temper which refuses
to let itself be narrowed up, it is
everyone's duty to cultivate. There
is a beautiful legend that at crea-
tons dawn an angel came down to
earth, seeking something to take
back with it to heaven. It returned
with a boquet of flowers, a baby's
smile and a mothers love. When it
reached the pearly gates of Paradice
again the flowers had withered, the
baby,s smile had vanished, but moth
er's love was found to be as pure and
eternal as the waters that flowed by
the heavenly throne, and all the an
gels exclaimed: There is nothing on
earth pure enough for heaven but a
mothers love-"
