sTlLL BATTLING FOR FRIENDS

The Cincinnati Chronicle, official or

it's "Friends'
We can see no cause for alarm La
Dor has always voted for It's friends"
Who ever heard Of IAN enemy Of La

election Labor's friends" are as thick
as the sea-shore's sands. But they
are not needed then. After election
the test Is on. Results: Labors

Then we swear like troopers vow
vengeance on our traitorous friends"
as the politicians invite US to again
try the "cant-lose" game. Once more
we bite. and once more we find we
have picked up the wrong shell.
This has been going on for years
and we still find Labor editors cap
ping the game.
Labor's friends" have brought US
to point where trade unionism is
classed with the most brutal and mer-
cenary trusts.
Labors friends" have gagged a

. Duluth Socialist replies to the STRIFE,
lures of W. S. Churchill, Scottish
member of parliament published in
our last issue. " = - ~. 4: Il.
To the Editor Labor World -
AS You have extended an invitation
to the Socialists Of Duluth, to answer
the objections against Socialism
brought by the Hon. Winston S.
Churchill, M. p, Of Dundee, Scotland,
I avail myself of the privilege and
shall try to answer the same. >E
AS the Hon. Gentleman is one of the
educated class. is also a man who has
had much dealing with existing con-
ditions, and using the common term,
very smart man, but as to his dis
sertations on Socialism,, he is either
woefully ignorant or wilful prevari-
Gator. AS he expresses himself on the
social question he becomes confused,
and advances ideas on the question.
that we consider simply sidotic. and
not coming from person who is
qualified to make an attack, for the
reason he cannot make clear, what.
Socialism is.
Let me quote his own languages:
although I have tried my very best
to understand these propositions, I
have never been able to imagine the
mechanical heart in the Socialist
World" Here he is confronted by
the thought he believes that the heart
of man must be again made over be-
fore Socialism can come. Now, Social
ism is not question that will be set
tied by any form of morality; it is
strictly a question Of economics, driven
on by the same power that has driven
the world on for ages past
AS Mr.. Churchill does not recognize
the question Of economics as being the
ruling force in our world Of produc-
ton, I would ask him this question,
why and for what reason did good old
England evolve out of it's past form
Of government, that of fuedalism, into
it's present form, that Of the capitals
tic state? He must have observed the
workings of economic evolution, but in
all probability has assigned the cause
to some change Of heart of the present
rulers Of good old England.
The Hon. Gentleman, does not like
the revolutionary Socialist, and speaks
Of the violent and extreme ones. I
do not know of any violent Socialists.
but my capitalistic opponents. do not
fear me from the viewpoint that I
would commit some act Of violence;
neither will they find that we are all
red headed, with hair the color of
blood. They will not find us carrying
a knife in our teeth, nor will they
find US with our pockets filled with
bombs; but they will find us ready
and willing to teach the people the
exact truth OF what is the cause of
all the wrongs today, do you do it Mr..
Churchill?
He also says that the Socialist
seeks to pull down wealth." Now no
tice what follows: Democracy seeks
to- raise up poverty How can there
be such contradictions as exist be-
tweent the two statements? What is
wealth but the surplus Of unpaid la
Dor? Wealth as used means capital
but as it is easier to mislead the peo-
pie the term wealth. is used. Can
labor be raised up without wealth be-
ing pulled down? Have the kings Of
wealth any use Of all the wealth they
control? Have they any need of it;
Should they control the natural re-
sources Of the world, both here and

OUR ACTUAL RULERS.

Forms of government remain long
after a total change of the substance
We should not delude ourselves with
the idea that the people govern in
this country, and that through the
congress and state legislatures they
shape their own destinies, when in
truth and in fact they can not pass q

FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
!. Selection 81 Judges.

The masses Of the people do not
select judges. but trusts and corpora
tions that furnish ''slush funds to de-
bauch elections are the influences that
place lawyers In our courts to dis.
pense Justice" The lawyer from his
very training, becomes callous to a
sense Of Justice. The lawyer to be a
success must be able to defend a
client right or wrong, and the prin-
ciple of justice is not permitted to
stand between the lawyer and his fee.
The courts are jealous Of their power.
and will not yield any authority until
forced by the sovereign voice of an
aroused people. No one will contend
that the judge on. the bench is infal-
lible. who. knows that the judge was
once a lawyer with all the frailties
and weakness of that profession. II
the judge on the bench was a scoun-
drel as lawyer, he is not redeemed,

A Reserve Fund.

Undoubtedly the greatest danger
that threatens labor unions today is
the desire OF new and inexperienced
members for quick and big results.
While this may be natural, it is very
often disastrous. Some unions may
make great gains In wages and
hours. which. are perhaps not a safe
standard for others A good reserve
fund and thorough organization, which
will insure permanent strength should
be the aim of all organizations When
this has been accomplished wages and
hours are bound to follow. Let US
profit by the experience Of others

Taft on Exclusion,

Conspicuous among the omissions in
the Republican National platform, a
platform remarkable for what it does
mt say, is the subject of Asiatic Ex-
clusion. Strong efforts were made in
committee to secure the adoption OF
plank favoring the maintenance and
extension Of the Exclusion policy; at
one time, indeed, it was reported that
such a plank had been tentatively
agreed upon. However, the platform
as adopted is absolutely silent upon
the subject.-Coast Seamen's Journal,

A Funny Circumstance.

Funny isn't 1t that we hear so much
about workingmen trespassing upon
the property OF the big corporations
Of the state and stealing rides on
freight trains, and nothing about the
corporations that break all the laws
of the state day after day, and are in
reality the cause Of working men be-
ing compelled to steal rides on freight
trains in order to get out of the state
to secure employment where they will
be treated like human beings. Would
mt it be a good idea for officers of
the law to sit up and take notice that
more than one law on the statutes is
being brazenly broken THE Labor

cousin, Mrs. Annie P. Williams, Oh
Causey avenue, Mrs. Laura f De Witt,

peacefully away, after an illness from
pneumonia, which lasted but five days.
She had been visiting her cousin, Mrs.

with the malady, which bafiled the
best OF medical treatment and the most
faithful nursing. Mrs. De Witt was
the eldest daughter Of Joseph o. Nc

granddaughter of Rev. Trusten Polk

her attention. Some fifteen years ago
with her husband and family she re
moved with her husband and family to |
Philadelphia after selling their farm,
and since then made it their home |
until the past year they removed to
Berlin, New Jersey. Her bright and |
cheerful disposition, her sterling worth |
and the many beautiful attributes Of
ler wOmanly character, endeared her
o all her acquaintance and made her
much beloved. She is survived by an

MILFORD HIGH SCHOOL
RECOGNIZED BY COLLEGES

number OF colleges and universities
OF high rank have recognized the Mil
ford High School as qualified prepara-
tory school, and will accept its certih-
cate in lieu Of entrance examinations.
The following institutions will admit
to the freshman class, without any
conditions other than those mentioned
below, the graduates Of this school:
Delaware College, Washington and
Lee University, Randolph - Macon,
conditioning in Science) Dickinson,
Ursinus, Swarthmore. Lehigh Uni.
versity has accepted schools work but
requires a review Of all mathematics
during fourth year of high school course
The course Of study has been very
favOrably considered by HaverfOrd and
Princeton, which institutions accept
candidates from no school without ex-
aminatiens.
Negotiations with a few other insti.
tutiOns are pending, but the above list
will show that an opportunity is given
for Milford pupils to prepare for the
college Of their choice at home.
The high school, therefore, is no
longer isolated. If it keeps in the line
of progress, and if, in its academic
work, it keeps in touch with the insti-
tutiOns that have recognized it, its
standing and efficiency as a prepara-
tory school are assured while the fact
that courses are provided which have
no reference to college entrance relieves
students, whose school life closes with
their graduation from the high school,
Dfthe necessity Of pursuing studies lead
ing to college work.
In this connection it may be said that
of this stand taken in the high
iehool, it has been necessary to raise the
in the grades preparing
or it. Grade pupils are being marked
loser than heretofore. which accounts
n some cases for the absence Of ninety
'er cent as a reward for excellence
where it has been given in previous
'eaTs. Excellence in written reviews
las been insisted upon, and in a few
pupils have been denoted
When it has seemed to be necessary.
