BURGESS REPORT.

Lothrop, Mont, May ], 1908.
left Idaho on the morning Of the
26th of April and, crossing the noun
tains, landed in st. Regis, where !
found 4 group Of socialists. I stopped
with Comrades Stacy, and had splendid
entertainment in their new hotel, the
Saratoga.
There is not hall in this little vii
lage, but Comrade Longley allowed the
socialists to use one of the rooms in
his place of business. On the evening
of the 2sth of April, I held meet
ing in this room, which was crowded
to its utmost. At the close Of the
meeting, local was organized.
Socialism was the subject Of CONVEX
sation on the streets the next morning,
and all the local politicians are indig-
nant. They say that there is no truth
in what the socialists say, but these
little fellows are wise enough to al
low the assertions of the socialists to
20 unchallenged so long as the speaker
is in town. This affords the local
socialists much amusement.
On the evening of the Goth of April,
held a meeting at Blackfoot, and or
ganized local there. I found no one
at this place to oppose the teachings
of socialism. One man, working
man, said to me the next morning:
"I think that the socialists are entire
ly too radical" asked "Why 80
"wen", said he, "I do not like the
idea Of taking the rich mans wealth
from him without giving him sompen-
sation."
replied, "The rich man does not
hesitate TO take this wealth from us
without compensation. II is ours when
we create it; il is ours until we get
it." "Oh", he said, "I see," and
then he laughed heartily, and grasped
my hand warmly as We parted, saying
that the light had shone through.
held a street meeting at this place
last evening; had fair sized audience
and good attention, but THERE s nothing
doing in this town. The town relies
upon saw.mill that is owned by Sen
ator Clark, and that means that a
blight hovers over the place.
These people seem to be proud Of the
fact that they are helping to create the
wealth that is used to purchase a place
in the U. 8. senate for their master
Thoy possess all that they desire-need
nothing more.
I called their attention to the fact
that crowd of "Boes" Is hovering
around the town waiting for a chance
to take the places of any that may Of
fend the masters, but this does not
alarm these servile place hunters.

Sin the workhouse this poor crea-

before her baby was born-every kind

while she was in bed. Her baby was

OUR woMEN's OUTLOOK.

(By Iona, in The Labour Leader.)
There is a difficult bit Of work for
me to do this week. A strong-I had
almost said fierce-letter from a
woman poor-law guardian lies by my
side. She has come TO her work with
what Olive Schreiner described as
the power Of unaccustomed eyes"
and the light Of our socialist ideal to
help her. And she has seen things.
What are we doing as a nation %
she asks me. "In my workhouse, only
last week, for the third time in five
years a young woman came in to bring
a baby 20 the birth There was no
word as TO the father; only contempt
uous shrugs Of the shoulder. She, poor
thing, is a nayvy's daughter, living in
a navvies' settlement, strong in body,
but evidently of little or no mental
or moral development, given to drink
ing, and bone idle, the matron tells
me. Her other two children are shame
fully neglected.

All of US mothers who are socialists
see clearly that here we are confronted
with one of the grimmest phases Of

Every Mirror Poisons Somebody.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Every mirror is made at the cost of human suffering and poisoning. The sil- vering of the glass by applying a layer of tnfoil alloyed with mercury involves much risk of poisoning the work people constantly breathing the mercury vapor that numerous attempts have been made to use another metal for the pur- pose.
 It was shown by Liebig that a fine ad- herent deposit of metallic silver could be applied to glass by reducing solution of a silver salt with milk sugar, so this method has been employed as a com mercial process. There have been partly successful attempts to get a like deposit of copper.
 The mirror often lacks brilliance and is usually diSfigured with stains. But 1t has been found by one F D. Chattaway of England. that solutions of copper salts can produce brilliant reddish films of metallic copper which are as perfect re- factors as silver mirrors. His method of coating glass with layer of copper. 1t is thought. will probably be used ex- tensivel, in making mirrors and other glassware articles.
