A POT OF POSTUM.

Away back in Battle Creek, Michi-
gan, lives a man by the name of Post
or at any rate he draws his living
from Battle Creek. Mr.. Post is the
manufacturer of Postum Cereal Coffee,
Grape Nuts, and other food products
that have ceased to tempt the palate
Of the class-conscious working men and
working women of the United States.
Mr.. Post is also member of the
National Citizens Industrial associa
tion of business men who are very con
scious of the interests of THEIR class.
Mr.. Post is a shrewd business man,
lie knows the value of advertising.
Two years ago there appeared in
the Montana News an advertisement
of Girard Cereal Coffee. Immediately
Mr.. Post wired a third of page ad
to the Independent and Record-which
we consider complimentary to the
News.
But Mr.. Post knows the value of adj
vertising other things beside Grape
Nuts and cereal coffee. He knows the
value Of advertising ideas. And he
knows that the socialist press is adj.
vertising brand Of ideas 81 much
more palatable to the working class
thnn those advertised by the Citizen 8
Industrial association that their ideas
are likely TO be driven from the mar.
kct unless they can make the working
class believe that the socialist ideas
are adulterated,
Now, in advertising there are two
main points to keep in view. One is
to extol the virtues of your own pro-
duet, and the other is 10 misrepresent
and warn the purchaser against the
product Of your competitor. And when
II comes TO misrepresenting the ideas
offered by the socialist press Mr.. Post

The Horrors of Russia.

Words are powerless TO describe the
horrors both in town and country in
Russia. All the prisons are crowde l
with suspects. The goal at Tschigwin,
which was built to receive SO, now
holds no less than 200 occupants. At
Simferopol there are 500 instead Of
250; and at Tsehernigoff 45O instead
of 100. Overcrowding brings its dire
full consequences in prison, as in slum.
Typhoid fever has made some of these
houses Of detention as revolving and
loathsome as was the Black Hole Of
Calcutta. In desperation some of the
prisoners-mep who few months ago
were dreaming Of some socialist COM
monwealth Of the future-have com
mitted suicide, while others, revolving
against their oppressors, have met their
death on the scaffold.
Even face to face with these lazar
houses of death the socialists continue
to work on. There is evidence that
the army itself has been successfully
influenced by the fervour of the revo.
lutionary party. Last Friday 22
socialist soldiers of the Artillery Of
the Guard were brought before a court.
martial. Along with them was tried
the daughter of a lieutenant-colonel,
and at one stage Of the proceedings a
dramatic incident occurred. "Throw
away your epaulettes, she cried out
to the prisoners around her; and on
hearing her command they, with one
accord, took these ornaments and flung
them into the air. At the end six of
the soldiers were sentenced to eight
years penal sevitude, and the girl to
two years detention in a fortress.

Troubles In Prussia.

Discomfort reigns in Polish Prussia,
and troops are being poured into the
country to protect Germans against the
attacks of the Poles, among whom they
live and move. The government is
getting alarmed at the possible results
Of the bill which they have passed,
rendering possible the appropriation of
the lands of the prosecuted people.
What the Kaiser does in the name Of
national justice might become a preee.
dent for a socialist government in the
future, and so the rulers Of Prussia are
trying to intimidate the Poles into

has a faculty that would make An
anias weep. His latest effusion is a
reading ad that occupies about a third
of a page and is devoted to a frenzied
appeal to the "Home Owning Class
TO beware Of the labor socialist "elass
who, he says, are aiming to pass
laws, while the home owners sleep,
that will take their homes away from
them. Evidently Mr.. Post is very
much afraid of laws passed by any
class except his own.
Considering the fact that the vast
majority of the American people have
no homes it would seem that a few
laws passed in their favor and with a
view to secure homes for all would
not be amiss. Mr.. Post says: "When
a labor union gains power enough To
force home-owners to pay two, three,
or four times what hod.earriers and
other workmen are actually worth. il
means just so much extra money ex-
tracted from the home-owners more
than the service is worth" This seems
to us to be an admission that the "hod-
carriers and other workmen" have no
homes-which is mostly true.
Mr.. Post seems fully aware that the
home-renting class far outnumber the
home owning class, but to make his
class look larger he uses the word

just list TO the preacher telling,
OF the poor hungry heathen abroad,
Who dwell in despair and darkness,
Whose religion is base, glaringf fraud.
To them must the truth be carried,
OF God and His wonderful love,
or His Justice and mercy unbounded,
Which He sends from His home up
above
They bow to their images craven,
Or nodded from silver and gold,
Their priests on the ignorant living
While the poor die of famine and cold
How they pray for the poor foolish
heather,
And pray for the Kingdom to come
And that God in His wisdom will bless
them,
While they're blind to the heather at
home.
Right at home we have plenty of
heather,
Far worse than the heather abroad,
Who bring sacrifice TO the altar,
Wealth is heaven and Gold is its God
Wealth is the priest as exacting,
As ever was Shylock of old,
The lives of the wage slave il offers,
To their favorite God Of Gold.
All around and about us are heather,
As benighted as those far away,
Yet no preacher with tears and emo
tion
Cares a whit for this poor common
clay.
Not at home,-but abroad where they
worship
Their idols of wood and Of stone,
With the dollar sign ever before him,
There the work Of salvation is done.
Why sneer at the heather deluded Z
Their religion is true as our own
We bow to wealth and position,
They bow to their idols Of stone.
They sacrifice lives to their idols,
We sacrifice lives for gold.
Their religion is filled with emotion,
While ours is heartless and cold.
Lo, look as you may at the matter,
When all is over and past,
Like leaves we will fall from the
branches,
And be all on a level at last.
And the heather who worships his idol,
And the Christian who worships his
God,
Unequal in life and religion
Are equal beneath the sod.

Mr.. Taft was destined to be q law

education was shaped with that end
IN view. In his law studies he did
something that was characteristic. 1t
is told by Charles G. Comegys, Of
Cincinnati. who was with Taft at
the law school in Cincinnati, that as
the conclusion of his second year he
went to Columbus. passed the state
examination and so was ineligible
Immediately to practice. Most of
us would have quit right there,
said Mr.. Comegys, but that wasn't
Taft's way. He pegged along with
the rest of the class for the remand

examination with 1t. He was as keen
here for hOnors as he had been at
Yale. There was another man just
as hot after them. It was a drawn
battle. Taft and his opponent. Al
