Home-Owners are the principal read
ers and supporters Of the newspapers.
The law-defiers are organized and
able to present organized effort
against, heretofore, an unorganized
public. Now, however, the Home
Owners have effected an organization
known as the Citizens Industrial Assn
of America with Central body In
New York and local bodies in many
towns and cities. Competent lawyers
are employed to watch the vicious
measures introduced in Congress and
the Legislatures and defend the rights,
Of the common Citizens from these
insidious attacks and to prevent the
enactment Of laws which rob one
class, the Home-OWners, and pass over
to the Labor-S Socialists, money and
property which they do not earn, and
power which would enable them to
enslave the common people and force
them to "obey." All Of this work re-
qiures money for legitimate expenses.
Every reader who feels a desire to
help in this organized work of pro-
lection can forward to the National
Citizens Industrial Assn, st. James
Building, N Y, such contributions as
he decides upon, from $1.00 to $4,000.
The work is now being, carried on and
with gratifying results. It can be wide
ly extended and more certain protec-
ton insured by employing a larger
force Of active workers. The Labor
Socialists contribute literally for the
support of their organization and the
common Home Owners are but Just
now beginning to learn that they are
in danger of most serious consequences
unless a determined organized stand
is made and the work of protection
carried on intelligently, skillfully and
with means enough to make It eff
fective.
The officers and directors OF this
National Assn are sufficiently well
known to insure careful and honest
use of funds A statement will be
sent to each contributor from time
to time and the Square DeaP maya

This is a clearly drawn contest be-
tween the Common citizens and
Home Owners seeking protection and
the Labor Trust seeking to obtain
control of affairs and take money and
property from the Home-Owners.
The strongest organization will win
and if the Home Owners fail to stand
together they will certainly lose at
least part Of their properties and
more or less personal liberty. There
are communities now where organized
labor has gained control and every
man must "bow'' and contribute and
implicitly "obey," quit work when told.

God gave him his hands. his back
and the right to use them as he
pleases. 1t is an inalienable right. No
power can take it away from a man.
No power can compel him to- work.
No power can compel him to stop
working if he desires to work. When
a man, or any set of men, take 1t
upon themselves to say that they are
the law, and to defy the process of
the courts, to defy the police author
ity of the land. to usurp the authority
of the established government, to up
set the very base of society IN which
we all live, there is a power which
will come to the rescue OF the man
who is wronged in that way; and that
power is that which protects you and
protects me. and must continue TO
afford us all protection. else govern

For these principles our ancestors
laid down their lives. But they stand
in the way of the Labor Socialists
who now seek to enact laws to overset !
them.

the organized machinery for protec-
ton. Will he support it?
