The nnly trust having the impudence to openly assert that it Is going to eiect its own trust representatives to pubic office is the Labor trust
 The election therefore will deter mine whether the Common Citizens retain control of public affairs or ai- -o,. -T.r,,s, mo egnafes to gov ern.
 The common man loses his liberty when he and his fellow citizens allow any organization or trust to get con .troI. for each trust whether of labor or capital is in business to gather ev- cry dollar possible and divide up among the members eff the managers leave any.
 And where do they gather all this extra money?
 Tho Meat, Steel. oil, and other Cap ital trusts raise the price of their products.
 < The Labor Trust does the same thing f~> boosting the price of the plumber, meAt-chopper, ironworker. shoemaker baks, etc, etc, and by fning them for breaking rules and also iining em- ploye rs.
 The particular shoemakers bakers, etc, etc, who happen to be members of the Labor Trust may not get much extra money out of 1t hut the Trust Managers seem to handle heavy sums.
 Now to get back to the question, where does all this money come from, this extra money both labor and capl- tal trusts are striving for. There IS only one place for them to get it, my rrie,da and that is from the pocket of the common citizen not a member of any trust.

AN UNGRATEFUL BsGGAR
Slips From "charity Line" to Despoil

Slips From charity Line" to Despoa
Rich Church.
New York City.-Caught in an al
most successful attempt to respoil the
Church of the Most Holy Redeamer of
more than 100000 worth of gems,
gold work and relics, Rene Bacy, aged
35, describing himself as Frenchman
and declaring that he had no place of
residence, was arrested. He was
found covering in the dim lights of
the sanctuary.
Burglar alarm wires, cunningly
placed because Of previous attempts
at robbery in the edifice, are RESPONSE
BILE for the capture of Bacy, who is
said to have made no effort to deny
his object in entering the church.
"The church had plenty of money. It
had more than l.; needed some. Why
shouldn't l take it," was his answer
to the questions put to him by the po-
lice.
Bacy joined the so-called charity
line which forms daily at the church
to receive aims. The needy are never
turned away. Slipping quietly behind
a statue of the Holy Virgin, Bacy hid
until the services were finished. He
remained hidden until all the lights in
the altar rail had been extinguished.
Then he set out to collect the valu-
ables of which this, one of the veal
thiest churches in the United States,
had so rich a store.
