HYSTERICAL CAPITAL"

The Wall Street Journal is devot-
ing considerable time to battering the
straw man that IL calls socialism. 1t
Is moved to a fresh outburst by n
copy OF the christian Socialist.
IL devotes considerable space to "A
defense of the righteousness of the
present private robbery of the pro-
ducer and all the social adjustments
demanded by socialism IL claims that
present society demands also.
There is just one thing IL balks
at. IL calls this "the destruction OF
private capital. or course IL means
private capitalism. But then II
doesn't know the difference. The
advocates of the present organized
social robbery are not up on the
terms of political economy. Nobody
but a fool or a vandal advocates the
destruction OF any kind OF capital. .
public or private. Capital is the ma
chinery OF production.
What the socialists want Is the own
crship and control OF capital changed
from private to social There is no
demand whatever for the "equnl'
possession OF wealth. as the Wall
Street Journal says, All that social
lists demand is that each worker shall
have his total prdouct, and not cough
up four-fifths TO the rich grafters and
scalawags as today And there are
enough demanding socialism today to
make even Wall street take notice.

aided in their conspiracy by officials

Another reason is that Captain
Furlong of the Furlong detective
agency of st. Louis swore on the stand
that he arrested us without a warrant
and that he was employed by the
Mexican government to do IL.
wv. +. Zwickley of Los Angeles
makes an affidavit that Furlong told
him that he was not so much inter-

which we were being tried as he was

all he and the Mexican government
wanted is to get the defendants down
into Arizona. and then they will see
that they get them across the line.
Now. Mr.. President, we lay these
facts before you conciseIy. in the hope
and belief that, having been called to-
your attention, they will be sufficient
to insure us a trial by jury in Arizona.

NINE NATIONALIZATION BILL.

Keir Hardie. socialist member OF the
British parliament. has an article In
the Labour Leader of July ,, on the
experiments conducted by the New
Zealand government in coal mining.
The article is preparatory to the intro
duction of a bill into parliament by
the labor and socialist members. on
the naturalization OF the mines.
The naturalization of the mines and
railways has been a part of the British
socialist program from the beginning.
Keir Hardle introduced bill with
such provisions into the House OF
Commons in 1894. The House of
Lords left it's chamber In a body to
listen to his speech. IL is said to
have been the most mastery effort
Montana news., 1908-07-23

ever made in the British legislative
body. Mr.. Hardie dwells on the in
creased revenues to the state. the
large employment OF men and the
power in the hands OF the nation to
establish an eight-hour day for the
miners without long processes OF
legislation. and numerous provisions
for the health and safety of the men.
His summing UP OF the case follows:
This is a concrete case showing
what socialism means. The national
ization OF mines would mean an addi-
tlon TO the revenue OF the state OF at
least f4O. 100000 year; the nationali-
zatlon OF railways. curiously enough.
would ultimately give almost exactly
another f4o.0o0.o00. Part of the saw
ing thus effected would go in reducing
the hours of work in mines and on
railways. and in paying a decent living
wage; part would go in reducing the
price Of coal, and the cost OF carriage
VI HoouS anu pttScthBtIc oNtE put Idii-
ways; and part would go towards So
cial reform work. such as old-age pen
sions and the like.
But here comes in a strange anom-
ally. II We cheapened carriage and
coal. and Increased wages. but left the
land in the hands of private owners,
sooner or later every penny SO saved
would find Its way into the bottom
less pit or landlordism-the moral of
which is that. side 10y side with all
these proposals, IL not even preceding
them, some means must be devised for
preventing the owner of the soil from
scooping to himself most of the ad-
vantages which would accrue from
the naturalization of mines and rail-
ways"

REFORM SCHOOL
SCANDAL
DISCLOSURE OF VICIOUS CoNDI-
TIoNs UNDER WHICH YOUTH
ARE Placed.
MAGGOTS FOUND IN THE FOOD
Children Are Brutally Guarded With
Guns-Vilest Habits Contracted
by the Inmates.

The stencil from the reform school
at Miles City is rising so high that
IL is even becoming offensive TO the
obtuse olfactories OF the business men
OF that elephant-epidermis locality.
This is supposed TO be beneficial
institution provided by the state where
wayward children may be properly
cared for and receive such training as
to fit them for useful citizenship. But
the report comes from those that have
made a thorough investigation OF the
matter that hardened criminals. men
of twenty-five years, are incarcerated
here. and in constant association with
children OF tender years. Thus the
influences thrown around these young
children are OF the vilest. 1t is even
said that they are debauched by the
guards and then punished for the very
things they have been taught.
The state appropriation is ample to
provide the most wholesome and
nourishing food yet the food served up
is rotten and decaying. The meat is
alive with maggots and the cook
would not serve IL to the employees
without telling them about ii.
So scanty is the portion given to
the children confined here that II has
become a matter OF gambling with
them. They bet away their scanty ra-
tions and some OF them go for days
without any food at all. Many also
seize the portions of others as they
go 10 table. and the weaker get
nothing.
The children are brutally punished
when there is no necessity for IL. and
their clothing is filthy The whole
regime is calculated to develop Grim
inals and brutes instead of to pre-
pare young people to be desirable
citizens.
ID. b. Price is the name of the
superintendent. the man that gets the
graft. He gets $500 a year. his wife
and son each 5000: enough one would
think without his stealing food from
defenseless children.
IL has been reported that one of
the tructees is preparing a full ex-
posure; and, as has been stated. the
Miles City business people are so dis
gusted that they threaten to add their
protest to the information.

AT WORK.
COMMENT BY EUGENE WOOD

union man who thinks ne ought to
have more OF what he earns but isn't
prepared 10 go to the wild extreme
OF demanding ALL he earns, who
would like to have an eight-hour day
but wouldn't know what to do with
himself IL he had four-hour day;
here's the farmer who would like to
have the railroads run for the COM
mon benefit but rather shies at farms
being run for the common benefit:
here's the single-taxer. who agrees
with US that Rent is wrong but thinks
Interest and Profit Heaven-sent bene-
factions to the human race; here are
all sorts OF reformers who think IL
wicked to work children sixteen hours
day when they are only eight years
old but approve of their working fif-
teen hours a day when they're nine
years old-I'm only joking now, but
what / mean is that there are many,
very many who thoroughly agree with
us on the preliminary things that
have TO be conquered from our
masters while at the same time we are
gathering strength and wisdom for
the problems before us. but who differ
with us as TO the advisability of cross
ing the bridge, which is still some
of us know more than we do now
when we get to the place where the
very next step will be on the bridge
or-not Whatever sort of a genuine
well-wisher of his country rather
than of himself each of us may be,
up To a certain point We all agree with
the socialists. Up TO that point we
all know that il would be better If the
socialist platform could be carried
into effect than it would be If the re-
publican or democratic platform could
be carried into effect. 1t is Just the
good point about this book that IL
shows practically that the only way to
get those benefits up to that point of
disagreement is to unite with the party
that demands those things and won't
give up demanding them because il
expects to get a whole lot more on top
OF that. and that IL is mud-headedness
carried to the limit to wait till the
sky falls TO catch larks. When either
party OF its own free will and accord
and without the encouragement of a
rough cowhide boot applied where
most needed comedies to the poor folks
OF this country anything whatsoever
that will make life larger or happier
than IL is now, the sky will have
platters made out of the pieces.
Come ! Let's get together. Were
awhile. you expect TO turn off on an
other road. what difference does that
make? We might as well be COM
pany for each other. Jump into our
wagon and ride. We've got the
wagon. and there's lots OF room.
More room than We ned-or in fact
desire. We could stand it very well
IL we were considerably more crowded.
