DON'T ARGUE, PLEASE.

It is only the Anglo-Saxons who
feel that it Is not necessary to- fight
merely because they widely differ. This
truth was stated by a man Of vast:
experience in countries Of the world.
II 1t is true in a political and moral
sense, why couldn't it be a. maxim to
be studied by all Of us?
Much of the friction Of life. much of
the bitterness and unjust criticism
could be avoided by keeping to the
truth of this statement.
Why argue with any one who differs
from US? What good does it do?
What court of high appeal is there
to prove that we are in the right and
that others are in the wrong?
That women Is to be dreaded as a
friend. relative or a companion who
goes through life trying to convince
and convert every one who thinks diff
ferently from her on any question:
from cookery to calculus.
This Is an utterly different frame Of
mind from the one that makes us feel
we are right in what we think and in
what we do. The world would be a
mighty feeble place to live in, and
rapidly dfsintegrate, if every one of US
born Unto st f,didn't have an >opinion
and could be relied upon to stick to it.
It Is all right to have conviction
right or wrong, and to believe that
1t is right because it is yours. but
there is no excuse or palliation for the
fault of tiltings,at lance at every one
Fwho thinks aslothefr way "'-~'
If two women see different sides Of
an affair, there is no reason why they
should come to bitter words about it.,

FALLAcIEs OF SOCIALISM.

To the Labor World:
The Socialists are great takers.
They talk Sc much they don't take time
to think. and therefore the fallacies In
their own contentious elude them.
There can be no grosser example Of
privilege than that set before us as
an ideal by certain socialistic writer's
in Everybody's Column, the ideal that
every man shall put into the common
fund what he cap, which would mean
what he chose, a nd should take out of
it whatever he wanted.
This particular socialistic ideal would
be to enthrone privilege in one of it's
grossest, crudest most dishonest and
most harmful and most unjust forms.
Equality of opportunity to render serv-
ice-yes,1 will do everything I can to
bring it about Equality of reward
service. And mankind being composed
as it is, there will be Inequality of
service for a long time to come.
We have made this country what
It is partly because we have measur-
ably succeeded in securing in the past
equality of opportunity That is very
different from equality Of reward.
But in securing a measurable equal
1ty of opportunity let us no more be
led astray by the doctrinaire advocates
Of a lawless and destructive individual
ism than by the doctrinaire advocates
of a deadening socialism. AS society
progresses and grows more complex,
it becomes desirable to do many things
for the common good by common ef-
fort.
No imperical line can be laid down
as to where and when such common
effort by the whole community should
supplant or supplement private and in
dividual effort. Each case must be
judged On it's own merits. Similarly,
when private or corporate fortune Of
vast size is turned to business use
which jeopardizes the welfare of all
the, small men then in the interest
of everybody, in the interest of true
individualism, the collective and cont
mon power of the community must be
exercised to control and regulate for
the common good this business use Of
vast wealth-and while doing this, we
must make it evident that we frown
upon envy and malice exactly as we
frown upon arrogance and oppression.

now levied it sustains the government,
which in turn supports monopolies Of
every sort. These monopolies exercise
taxing power, sustained as they are
by government; and between being
robbed by the government in public
taxes the workers are robbed by the
monopolies in private taxes. This is
the reason the workers of the world
are forever poor. This in turn fosters
land speculation, which greatly les

DULUTH RENT HACKERS.

To the Editor of the Labor World: =
"Bleed'em for very cent he can
stand" said rent racker to another

day. The occasion Of it was that a
new arrival in the city was looking for
place in which toulouse his family.
There is no use in mincing matters.
No city Of it's size on this planet was
ever cursed with more unconscion-
able set of cold blooded rent rackers
than is Duluth. sssz
The situation in becoming intoler-
able. They make it next to impos-
sible for people to live here at all.
The unscrupulous schemers are as
active and secretive in their operations
as the night parasites that infest their
tenements. +. r s#s= sz .ss#S rs
Something must be done to call q
halt on these human parasites or our
renting population will have to get

Duluth is getting an unsavory repu-
station far and near on account OF the
outraged prices Of rent. It's wrong
to encourage people to come to Du-

SUBJECT or TAXA ATIoN.

Clifton Heights, Pa, July 20, 1908.
To the Editor of The Labor World,
Duluth, MINI.
Dear Sir:-There is no subject Of
more vital Importance to the human
race than the subject of taxation.
There are only two things that can
be taxed. These two things are man
and the earth he lives on. Therefore,
labor values and land values are the
only two: thirgs that are or can be
taxed. That taxes are essential to the
administration of government is un-
deniably true; and that something
must be taxed is directly apparent.
The right thing to tax is monopoly,
the wrong thing to tax is labor; be-
cause government sustains monopoly,
and labor sustains ITSELF Not only
does labor do this, but as taxes are

NOTHING IN A NAME.

To the Editor Of the Labor World:
"The rose by any name would smell
as sweet" Socialism by any other
name would be as true. but no more
true.
"Socialism," as an articulated sound,
amount to little; but it has become
the handle for mighty thought. Mil
lions love the word "for hopes sake;
thousands hate the word as they hate
the cry of "stop thief"
It means harmony for the oppressed
and discord for the oppresser. It
means rest for the weary and work for
the lazy.
Forty-two thousand organized poll
heralding it's tidings Of joy; twenty
five hundred Socialists headquarters
with officers and battling hosts, or
ganized political centers, from which
radiates political force destined to
destroy the organized hordes of in
human greed. - -.
Think of it too, such an array Of
human determination, that knows no
burden too large, no sacrifice too
great; all told, at least million
strong, organized to slay with ballots
the modern vultures that prey upon
human life and feed upon human souls.
What can they do? Rather, what is
it they cannot do? They are the giant
that walks the earth to make the
widow glad and to make the orphan
smile; to aid the blind and feed the
hungry; to cure the sick and lift the
fallen.
They are the irresistible force be-
hind the "Sacialist Special" that will
carry out invincible and unfaltering
"Gene" with his words of cheer and
message of hope to a waiting world.
What can they do ?
The determination, pluck and cour-
age that raised the Socialist vote from
two votes out Of every ten thousand
in 1888, to thirty votes out of every
one thousand in 1904 can transport
capitalism to oblivion.
Oh, yes, this giant will go without
bread to fight a common foe; he can
do things of which you would scarcely
dare to dream; for he sees victory
ahead and death behind. The rays Of
life are already breaking upon the
horizon of his hopes. He can do, Mr..
Capitalist, what you would not dare
to do; he can desert you and leave you
to work or starve. .. .*.. .
He can elect our "Geene'' and loose
the chains that bind a suffering world
and make the people free. - X.

FOR MOTHERS.

Always wash baby's mouth and
gums every morning with water in
which you have put a pinch of borax.
1t keeps the mouth fresh and sweet
and prevents that uncomfortable af-
Fiction a sore mouth, with which so
many poor babies are troubled when
their mouths are not kept perfectly
clean.
If a child is injured or stunned by
fall or a blow, take him at once to
the open air. Lay him fiat on his
back, the head slightly higher than
the body. Put cold water or ice about
the head and prepare hot mustard
bath for the feet. If the child re-
mains in a stupor, it may be necessary
to apply warm water to the body. The
same reatment should be given to an
more heroic.
Walking too soon.-When the baby
can sit up straight and strong it can
be safely propped up with pillows and
allowed to amuse itself, but serious
harm can come from forcing babies
to sit before they are strong enough.
Early walking is dangerous, especially
for city children. Hosts of children
acquire weak ankles, handy legs and
knock-knees from being urged or per-
lnitted to walk when too young.
Baby's eyes.-Never place an infant
on it's back when out of doors. Great
injury, often permanent, is done to the
eyes by the strong light they are ex-
posed to. Let a mother look up at
the sky for five or ten minutes and
judge for herself.
A warning.-1f child persistently
breathes through it's mouth consult
surgeon. Such children appear stupid,
may become deaf, and always suffer i'll
effects, which may cause cause life
long annoyance. from the obstruction
behind the nose. This obstruction is
very common, and it can be easily re-
| moved by simple operation.
To Prevent commissions while teeth
ing.-Should the baby's head be hot,
making it restless, take large linen
handkerchief, squeeze it out of cold
| water, fold threecornerwise. lay across
| the forehead, bringing the corners to
| meet round at the back of the head,
press it gently all over the head, put
! a dry one over, and change as soon
| as the wet one gets warm Continue
! changing it until the little head gets
nice and cool and the restlessness

SAYINGS OF TWO WELL
KNOWN AMERICAN WOMEN

The really great soul never rails at
his human kin because of it's lack of
understanding, it's ingratitute and
stupidity.
The great soul is the teacher, al
though it may teach only by example,
and it does not expect all the little
children of earth to understand at
once. Just in the measure that you
criticize the world for it's lack of
appreciation of yourself or your work,
you are declaring your own mediocrity.
If you have a message for humanity,
do not begin it by calling the human
race names.
