You don't believe that Labor Social fist sclass' are really trying % take away the savings and property Of the thrifty. Home-O Owning |class.' do you
 Probably there will be chorus Of walls and snfreaty when the new Jaws go into effect and the Home Owners" wake up to find themselves bound hand and foot and "trimmed" of their savings and property by the deft hand of the Labor Socialist class and according to laws passed while the H0me-OsvneFs slepts and which the nonRts must sxeem1e.
 sImpossibie. you say. but the game is on and the Labor-Socfalists are right now actively at work befort Congress and the various State legislatures and win establish theac laws quickly un- less stopped.
 Their plan ia based on one principle.
 If any man has worked and been economical and self-denying and has bought home. take 1t away and di- vide up the proceeds among those who are unthrifty. drinking, profiigate or
 Take money away from the man who has 1t
 Give 1t to tho man who hasn't.
 But this must be done cunningly and by passing some shrewdiy drawn laws which hide the real meaning.
 The labor Socialists are working hard to frighten and force public men to pass at least dozen bilIsa. each Of which has, away down at the bottom. a plan to take away part of all the thrifty mans savings and give them to the unthrifty
 They will surely succeed unless the 'home owners" wake up and protest fin numbers enough to win

 Naturally, because the average read CT seldom examines bills offered to Congress and the Legislatures and if he casually reads of these bills they look harmless enough.
 Some will only wake up when under the new laws. eff the Labor Socialists succeed in having the bills passed) they find their property and savings Ocse away and the courts p9werleas to prevent.
 This is a contest between the un- thrifty class trying to wrest money, property and power from the Home Owning ''class." I
 Now let the reader sort out the different characters In society and as they are defined. locate each man in one or the other of these ''classes. One class earns and saves and the other seeks to take what it doesn't earn.

 The Labor Agitator.
 The man who poured acid in the mouth of an independent workingu1an fin Chicago after he had been beaten unconscious.
 The steady. wsll-trained mechanic who owns home.
 The tramp.
 The professional criminal wrose pie ture the police keep in the rogues' gallery. When you see him reading q newspaper in a saloon, you can not only name the newspaper that nour- ishes his criminal instincts but can accurately locate him in his class ana probably make close guess at what ticket he votes.

 The or-Socialfst-
 The Farmer.
 The Minister of the Gospel
 The Anarchist.
 You see you can pick them out and put each one in his class. There are only two ''classes." One thinks thoughts of hate, Jealousy and revenge, seeking money it does not earn. property which has been earned by the sweat of other browB, ana Tn dlsappointment and 9n- ger these ''sociaT failures' natr 'ii'g, tend towards disorder. law-bre Y and a general upheavel in which .Asy hape to take away the savings of the other class.
 The members of the "other Class" think thoughts of work. sturdy. we'll directed. intelligent work; work which brings good pay. because it is good sedvice to mankind. The sober. res- ponsible Locomotive Engineer The Skilled Mechanic. The Farmer, Mer- chant. Doctor. Lawyer. School Teaehs CT, and Minister.
