Socialism Only Remedy.

As long as one class does the
worlds work and another class
makes its institutions and ideals,
the class making the institutions
and ideals will continue to make
them in such way as to keep the
working class in subsection to
itself. Until the labor and the
privileges of the world become
common and equal any civilization
that we may have will be but the
survival of brute force. The
working class must active by
their own efforts, and out of them
selves bring forth their own organi-
Zatioh of labor and distribution of
privileges, out of their own strur-
gle and labor bring forth their
own institution and ethices. The
whole capitalist interests will be i'm
the direction of preventing the
working class from taking pos
session of its inheritance.
No matters have ever handed
down freedom to their slaves.
Workers, unite! and keep united
under any and all circumstances.

Socialist Column. S

As the two great political parties
are lining up for another national
election, it should be the duty OF
every union man who loves and
supports his union to carefully
analyze every candidate.
There Is no way to judge the
future but by the past. The past
history of the two old parties is an
open book.-Party platforms are
made like the platforms of street
car; to get in on, and campaign
pledges are made to catch votes.
You know. that it was honest old
John IL. Farley, who used to roar
with laughter when anyone would
propose that such pledges should
be redeemed. He always held
that a public Office was "a private
snap.
While parties, through the con.
troll of voters who never take the
trouble to reason, but who ALWAYS
mark their tickets straight under
I he same old bird that their dadies
did, can control elections, still it
is the man who is declared Presi.
dent and who appoints his cabinet,
and the judges of our Federal
courts who actually rules this
government with more arbitrary
power than any king of England
ever had.
1t looks..now as if Bill Taft would
be our next President. The great
trusts and labor crushing corpo
rations are all for HIM. The
national bankers who want to issue
this scrip as asset currency in I'M
limited quantities, the same old
gang of loaning and collecting in
terest on their debts, are all for
him. That combination is what
Lincoln called "the money power
and since Lincoln was aSsaSsinatcd
by the power it has won out al
every national election, -Olevelan

SAVING OF
THE CHILD
Is the Mission of the Trades
Unions, Says the Rev. Chas.
Stelzle--Labor's Battle Royal.

Nature starts all her children.
rich and poor, physically equal.
Ibis, broadly speaking, is the
opinion of many leading physi
clans. If the number of children
born healthy and strong is not
greater among the well to do
classes than among the poorest,
than it presents to us "A very sig
niticant fact which completely re-
rolutlonlZeS many notions as to
the great disadvantages OF being
born in the tenement.
What happens 10 the tenement
child after its birth is quite another
story. Nature is not responsible
tor that. She has done her best.
If poverty or indifference or sin
blight her fair work, she stands
uncondemned. But nature is not
content in accepting Il position in
which she is simply exonerated
The violation other law is followed
by an unforgiving pursuit until
the fuil penalty has been inflicted.
for with nature there is no forgive
ness OF sin, and nature makes no
class distinctions.
This equality ut birth does not
long favor the child of the sum
and the tenement. Vital sta istics
quickly proves this statement. for
the burden and the penalty of
poverty and its accompanying wills
lhll most heavily upon the child
The lack of proper nouriShmcnt,
OF suitable clothing, of he ,lthv
sanitary conditions. makes life
precarious for the babe who must
suffer on account of their absence.
hen such Il state becomes
chronic the chances for life are
exceedingly small. Deaths scvthe
sweeps relentlcSS!y through the
ranks of little children, whose cry
for food has chilled Il thousand
mothers hearts. Then are hushcd
a thousand babies voices who
suffered long because there was no
sklllrul hand to nurse and no
healing draft to cure.
There is no battle more royal
than the saving of the child. To
bring color to the wan cheek, to
bring brightness to the dulled eve,
to so much as bring Il smile to the
lace that already bears the mark
of pain and Sutlering-this is a
task worthy of the best that is in
any man.
10 organized labor has the work
been given. No other mission can
ever mean more than this. Strong
should be the support given the
trades unions in their endeavor to
blot out the curse of the child
labor, and blighted should be
every arm that is raised in protest
against the warfare which means
the salvation of little children from
bondage that is crushing out
life and hope.

VAN CLEAVE
IS WRATHY
Because Roosevelt Recognized John
Mitchell as One of the Most
Prominent Men in American.

Van Cleave, one of the union
busting craze, feels sighted be-
cause President Roosevelt honored
John Mitchell few days ago.
here Is the way Van frees his
mind:
eve see it stated in an Associ.
ated Press dispatch from Washing
ton, published in many of the
daily papers, that President
Roosevelt has singled out Grover
cleveland, James j. Hill, William
D. bryan, Andrew Carnegie and
John Mitchell us 'the five foremost
men of the United States in private
lie. And as mark of diStinc-
ton, he has invited them to attend
the conference of governors, mem
berS Of each branch of congress-.
and other prominent persons, to
be held i'll the White House on
May fourteenth in the interest of
preservation Of the country's
natural resources. Right here is a
point to which we want to call the
presidents attention. John
Mitchell president over Il meeting
of the United Mine Workers Of
America at indianapolis on Jan.
uary %, 1908, which adopted a
resolution imposing Il fine of So
upon any member of that organi-
Zation who would purchase any of
the products OF the Bucks Stove
and Range Company of St. Louis,
and he favored that resolution.
That was after the Supreme Court
of In - 81, 4 al,
sued an injunction restraining the
American Federation of Labor,
Samuel GomperS, John Mitchell,
ct al, from boycotting any of the
Bucks Stove and Range Com
pany's goods. On February thin q
the United States Supreme Court,
in the Danbury hat case against
the American Federation of Labor,
had declared the boycott to be a
crime not only against the common
law, but against the Sherman anti
trust act. John Mitchell was
president of the United Workers
when he was chairman of that
meeting. That organization claims
a membership of 100000. John
Mitchell was then and is still a
high officials of the American
Federation of Labor, which saws it
has ,53S, 900 persons on it's rolls,
and the United Mine Workers is
one of its affiliated organizations.
Thus Mitchell knowingly disobey-
ed ALI order of Il United States
court. He intentioally and de-
family violating IA United States
statute. And in doing this he
made himself a party to a COM
pact which cOerccd, or attempted
tt cocrce, all the members of his
organization into the same crime.
Under what standard of apprlise-
ment can an Intentional and per-
Slstcnt lawbreaker be clasSed as
among the five foremost men of
the United States in private life7
How would such worthy and law
abiding men as Messrs. Cleveland,
Hill. Bryan and Carnegie feel if
they knew the sort of man with
whom their names are associated
In this connection? With what
indignation should President
Roosevelt tear the mask off a man
who has thus betrayed his conf
dcnce.

From High Joe's" Author

Editor of THE NATIONAL PRoH1B1r1oN1sr:-
cannot express my appreciation of The Ma
honal Prohibitionist The old Defenders were
excellent and did excellent work. but the new
paper is simply at the top notch. 1t reminds one
of the old Voice when it was at its heighth of
excellence and usefulness. What change in
sentiment greets the new paper! Tens of thou
sands will read The National ProhibHionist with
favor who would not read The Voice or The
Ne7v Voice or the Defenders. The sowing of
those papers is bearing fruit and doors are
opening everywhere for the real truth. The new
paper ought to have 250,OOO readers, if not sub
scribers, before the close of the campaign in 1908
No greater and better work can be done than to
get subscribers for the paper. The printed truth
sticks as the truth sticks in no other form. The
liquor men are awakening to this and may
now expect to have all kinds of liquor literature,
false and misleading, to meet. A strong Prohibi-
ton paper is needed to nail the falsehoods and tell
the truth. ]. BURRITT SMITH.

Government Official Did Not Advise Drinking
believes Alcohol Always Harmful

The following letter to the editor of the Record
Herald, published in that paper, is an interesting
commentary upon the views attributed to Dr.
Wiley, the government chemist, in recent pub
locations.
WASHINGTON, March SO the Editor: In
some manner you have misrepresented the state
ments which I made in the address before the
University Club in Washington on Saturday
evening, the 29th of February. The greater num-
Der of things which you alleged, in your issue of
the I'd of March, | believe, in a dispatch from
Washington as to what I said in my address, are
unwarranted by the facts. What I did say was
correctly reported in other journals
l stated that believed that the general effect
of alcohol mankind 7vas 7gholy bad; that it
1Vas bad e0en IN small quantities. that if distilled
beverages, such as whisky brandy and rum had
the aromatic and fragrant substances therein
stimulated the digestive secretions and thus over
came the bad effect of the alcohol which they
contained
| further stated that | was in theory a Pro-
hbitionist but that there were practical questions
in the way of Prohibition and that better plan
would be to abolish the saloons, and that if peo-
pie wanted to drink distilled beverages they
should do SO quietly at their homes and with their
foods and not in saloons.
| made no reference whatever in my address
to the term molIycoddle, did I advise young
men to drink liquor as reported in your paper.
