THE MAN AND THE BEAST

Ever since the beginning of hu-
man history there have been among
mankind those who preferred to get
the means of life and its enjoyment
not in an open regular and direct
way, but rather by cunning and
scheming methods to take advantage
of their fellowmen.
Whether we view it from a polit-
ical, industrial, commercial or any
other standpoint of activity, while
making due allowance for some
good wise managers who have dis
tinguished themselves and have ac-
quired opulence and renown by the
maxim of living and let live, it is
evident that adown the long ages,
but especially in the last fifty years,
a certain number of men have by
avarice and unscrupulousness risen
to dizzy heights of wealth and pow
er. The rights and dues of other
human beings was and is to this
class of no more consequence than

firm opinion and it is our intention
that our cooperation with organized
labor on the principles above ex-
pressed will and should result in
great benefits to all the producers of
wealth instead of as now, few pos
SCISSORS, the trusts, Wall street end
all other combinations of capitalists.
Whereas, the time has arrived for
the American Society of Equity and
the organized workers of Wisconsin
to inaugurate an aggressive union
label campaign.
Whereas, There is no better way
to bring the labels of both organiza-
tions before the people than to agi-
tate for them at all times and under
all circumstances; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this convention
does hereby recommend and urge
every member of this State branch
of the American Society of Equity
to purchase, wherever possible, only
goods that bear the union label.

Peoria, Ill. The above resolu-
ton reported adversely on by the
committee on resolutions was adop-
ted by the nineteenth annual con-
vention Illinois u. M. w. of A. at
its afternoon session. 1t was the
subject of debate that marks an
epoch, perhaps, in the history of
organized labor. While of itself it
does not mean that new party is
launched upon the troubled seas of
political economy, it puts the Uni
ted Mine Workers of Illinois upon
record as favoring the creation of
such a party.
For fervor and extemporaneous
eloquence the discussion, the bitter
attacks by members of old parties
and the ardent support of Socialist
members of the organization, moth
ing on the floor of state conven-
ton has equalled it in years.
The accusation was freely made
from the floor that the resolution

ialist Party" outright and its chief
advocates frankly stated that they
were of that political faith.

BUTTE SOCIALISTS

Convention Will Meet Thursday Night
and Put up Candidates for Alder

Butte, March s.-The socialists
of Butte have started the city cam
paign for 1908 ahead of all compet-
itors. They held their primaries
last night in the eight wards of the
city for the selection of delegates to
the city convention. There will be

largest number, almost one-fourth.
The Seventh is the only ward rep

it would concern any beast of prey
who subsists on the lives of other
creatures. Ethics and morality are
absent qualities in both. The diff
ference is rather in favor of the
beast, voracious in chase after its
prey, for while it is actuated by a
desire TO satisfy hunger, the men
with the same cunning greedy, cruel
characteristics generally gave more
in possession than they and their
descendants can reasonably make
use of, but with their increase of
wealth their avarice is intensified.
1t is said that those whom the
gods would destroy they first make
mad. According to this, the Grim

the laws of the lands which they
themselves directly or indirectly
shape and control for their interests
than by some invisible power.

Whereas, The welfare of the far

the producers of wealth; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That hereafter we will
at every opportunity use our politi-
cal influence to elect only such can
didates to the state legislature and

reason of their economic interests in
duty bound to propose and support
only such legislation as our interests
in common with the wage-earners
will necessitate.

the same money that we paid you

You have no more reason for

ing these ideals is an unjust econo-
mic system, that is persistent in its
will to prevent the negro from hav-

contend that the system of capital
ism, is responsible for the excrucia-
ting hardships that my people are
subject to in this country. Not only
in this country does capitalism con-
cern the negro, it has gone to Africa
the native home of the African, and
taken possession of it through force
and fear. Gone to Africa for purpose
of creating desires that it never in
tends to fulfill so far as the African
is concerned, but it will make the
African strive for the fulfillment of
these desires that will only be
dream to the great masses of them.
When capitalism becomes a full
grown man in Africa. the results
can only be this, the great captains
of industries will be eating the lus-
cious banapa and cocoa-nut, and
the natives eating the insipid fruit
or scraping the shell of the cocoa
nut and eating banana pealing with
the hope of some good juicy fruit
bye and bye, brothers must tell you
for the great masses it is only
hope never to be realized under
capitalism.

To the conclusion that he cannot
free himself without freeing the

status of the negro, to enable us to
clearly understand the negro's posi-

observation. The political party
that the negro affiliates with, is
calmly seeing him disfranchised in
different ways without a single sim
cere protest by those who have the
party under their control. In some
of the southern states he is being
disfranchised through the revision of
the state constitution, this change
is being skillfully done in a subtle
manner to prevent the state consti-

My object in writing this article
for the Montana News, is for the
purpose of cooperating in a truth
that is working for humanity in its
broadest sense, and something ap-
peals to me that will go far towards
facilitating the solution of ques-
ton that is of great concern to my
people as a race.
1t has always been my theory that
what we wanted, to enable us to ex-
tricate ourselves from this deplor-
able predicament we are in, was a
just system of society where every
man would be free to work out his
own destiny. Seeing that the great
majority of people were impeded in
their growth as men and women, on
account of certain principles that
they were keeping in existence them
selves, / at once came to the con-
clusion that there would not be any
salvation for the Negro until these
principles were inactive.
Principles are the greatest things
that we can have respect for. The
man or woman, that is incapacita-
ted to the extent of not having def
ference for a good principle for the
benefits that is to be accrued for hu-
manity, and disrespect for a repug-
nant one on account of its detriment
to humanity, is not eligible to a
high plane of society.
Now let us as a race, make close
analysis of this subject ] am writing
on, and the present system we are
living under and see which is most
adaptable for the solution of this
question that is so intricate for a
solution.
Negroes like all human beings
have the same emotion, same senti-
ments that any other human being
has more or less. These component
parts that constitute each individual,
are subject to environments to
great extent, ifsurroundings are fay-
orable to the growth of these senti-
ments that makes the individual, the
growth will be fastened, il to the
contrary the results will be accord
ingly. From the above condenced
statement, il can be readily seen
that there is not any difference in
any race of people so far as the real
man and woman is concerned eXcep-
ting by degrees in character, only
in a superficial sense can there be
any difference.
Before any system of society can
come to any logical conclusion in its
mechanism, it has got to have con
ventional ideals for every one to
rally around in common. If the
Negro is a constituent in forming
any society, he possesses these same

HOW CONGRESSMEN ARE NOT MADE

That the primary is expensive and
cum bersome, as we have always main
tanned, was demonstrated when the
Mitchell convention ignored the law
and named the candidate TO fill the un-
expired term of Col. Parker. This
was the easy way out, but nevertheless
it was direct violation of the stat
ute which provides for a primary
nomination and special election.
This was case where it was policy
for the majority wing of the conven-
tion TO ignore law that they rode in
TO power on.--Iroquois Chief.
The republicans are so acoustic mo d
to electiug congressman that evidently
Bro. Halliday assumes that no one
else has anything to say about it. Un-
der our constitution free and equal
rights are guaranteed to all, conse-
quentIy democrats as we'll as, republi-
cans must have voice in electing our
representatives in congress. No re-
publican convention--least of al fac
tion of party. though in the ajori-
ty-could ignore the primary law even
if they wished to. As we understand
it, the expectation is TO nominate Hon.
E. w. Martin by petition and then call
a special, primary election to rat fly
the nomination as provided by law for
filling such vacancies. The action OF
| the Mitchell convention has no more
authority in the matter than would
Dick himself have shou'd j he rush into
print and nominate this editor for the
position. All would have an equal
chance before the voters at the special
primary that Gov. Crawford will call
after a while to settle the matter
The action of the Mitchell convention
simply heads off sotae of the aspiring
republican statesmen who are quite
willing TO assume the responsibilities
OF The late Congressman Parker's un-
expired term, and, under the circum
stances, is an undoubted ''oliye branch
which Dick and the rest of us sta warts
will do well to pluck and wear proudly y
in our editorial buttonholes.
