aAwHIDe IS BURNED.
Nevada Mining Town Almost Wiped
Out by Conflagration.

Rawhide, Eev, Sept. IA fire that
started Friday in Or. Gamers office,
veritabe firctrap, spread with light
ning-like rapidity and. despite the Wig
orous efforts of the fire department
and 500 miner volunteers. eight
blocks, comprising all the business
section OF the town, were a mass Of
fianes. The fire-hghters soon discov-
cred their efforts were of no avail
against the FIRE. so they began dyna-
hitting adjacent buildings. Over a
ton and half OF dynamite was used
At IL o'clock the total area was a
mass Of ashes and smoldering embers
Among the first buildings to go was
Collins hardware store, which con
tanned two tons of dynamite, which
exploded with terrific force, hurting
burning planks and boards great
distance and setting fire TO numerous
buildings simultaneously. This ca
tastroDhe led the hremen to fight the
flames with dynamite, which prompt
action saved the outlying portions OF
the town. A strong wind was blow
ing, WHICH swept the flames south
ward across Rawhide avenue and east
across Nevada street.
The buildings destroyed will alone
result in financial loss of $3.50 600,
with no insurance. The contents of
the buildings are a complete loss and
will swell the total 70 considerable
more. Many people were slightly in
jured by flying debris, but none are
reported seriously hurt
Many acts OF heroism were enacted
-
ones among the hre-hghters several
fatalities would have resulted. Fren-
zied men, whose fortunes were going
up in flame. rushed madly forward in
their attempts to save their belong
ings, and would have persisted had
not restraining hands detained them.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-09-15

When the writer says that if so- cialism ruled the world then he won- ders if such great things could have been accomplished. It would have been impossible to have socialism then because they had not been through capitalism. Socialism has become necessary because of capital ism, just as the republic became necessary and grew out of monarchy and despotism.'
 And we want to say right here that the socialist is not ashamed of being a part of "revolutionary" movement, any more than the early Americans were. Revolution means a complete change of an existing form of government or condition of things, and socialism means a com plete change of existing economic conditions, not a mere reform; but this revolution can be made a peace full one because of that constitution given to us by the blood of our fore fathers, that constitution which says If by any means this form of gov ernment becomes oppressive, we have a right to change the form of gov ernment, have right to free press, free, political discussion etc. The class that is now in economic subjec- tion holds the balance of political power in it's hand and when they be- come intelligent enough to vote for their own class interests rather than for the conflicting interests of their masters, then the change will come
 But. if the repression of this class continues, if they are further denied their constitutional rights, as they have been in. the past, if only one kind of class organization becomes legai and the master class maintains its position as the ruling class by military and judicial force, then a

blind, ignorant rebellion of force by mass of unorganized slaves might be precipitated and useless, bloody revolution ensue, but in that event organized capitalism would be re- sponsible, not organized socialism.
 The socialist party believes in the intelligent ballot as the means by which society shall be reorganized, and to that end pursues its propa- ganda of education.

A MICROSCOPE.
How 1t Opens Up the Wonders of the
 World of Nature.


 World of Nature.
 If you want to keep your boy out of mischief, give him microscope, not one of the elaborate, intricate, expen- sive affairs that the bacteriologists use when hunting for germs, but com mon one with two or three lenses that revolve op a pivot and fold into a cover which protects them from in- jury when carried in the pocket.
 There is no better way of interesting the boy in the wonders of the natural world than this simple contrivance. which opens to his eyes visions of a universe of which he knew nothing. Seen through the microscope. the most insignificant flower becomes a thing of wonderful beauty. The interior of a nasturtium is fairy cavern. showing dozen different tints and hues of color, with dainty white stalactites and stalagmites almost touching each oth- CT midway between floor and roof.
 He will find monsters, too, for the head of an ant seen through a micro scope is terrible object. and he can not help thinking what an awful as- pect such creature would present If 1t were as big as horse. He has heard about the creatures that are to be found in water from stagnant pool. He will find them for himself and show them to other boys, and all his crowd will become interested and bring In things to look at and wonder about He may not develop into Dar- win. but if he has any faculty of ob- servation at all 1t will be sharpened by what he sees, and he will learn that there is more in nature than what we discern on the surfAcA

The Lecture.

The lecture to be given at
Springfield, Friday night, April
18th, announced in this column
last week, will be worth hearing.
He will lecture on "The Goth
Century Education" applied, he
writes, to all, and is not limited
to schools only.
He was conductor of our Nor
NAL Institute, 9th district, for
two years and made the work in
teresting and the meetings high
ly profitable. At La Junta two
years ago, we heard him lecture
more than once and thought him
great, so asked him to come to
Baca County. He promised to
come some time and did not for
get it, but had to scheme to give
us a date in this April.
We wrote to the University to
send US some testimonials of his
work to advertise his coming.
They sent US much more than
we can have printed here. Here
is part of what some have said:
Chancellor Buchtel says he is one
of the most popular college pro-
fessor in Colorado among teach
ers.
He has a charming personal
ity, and wonderful grasp of all
subjects he handles. Casper

ture that was abiding, practical,

self many times since he left us.

Diplomas will be presented to
the 9th grade graduates after
the lecture. They will wear
their class colors. Encourage
them by your presence. Help
Baca County. Come to be in
structed and entertained.
There will be no admission
charged, but we must take up a
collection. This busy man leaves
his multiplied duties to be away
several days so as to come to US.
We want to show him that we
appreciate the favor.
