| some pubic men are like some news
papers, they make the mistake of be-
lievins the Socialists are ma
| jority because they make the most
noise, but 1t has been shown time and
again that when public man prosti
! tutes his ideas of right and justice to
| the common citizen, and supports meas
| ures which seek to take money, prop
erty and liberty away from the home
owners. and the people find 1t out, ns
they will, the cowardly official is gen
orally defeated at the next election, for
the liberty-loving, peaceable Home
Owning class of Americans heavily out
number the Labor Socialists. and these
Home-Owners are the principal readers
and supporters of the newspapers.
| The iaw-defiers are organized and
able to present organized effort against,
heretofore, an unorgapized public Now,
| however, the Home-Owners have eff
| fected an organization known as the
! Citizens Industrial Association of
America, with a central body in New
| York and local bodies in many towns
and cities. Competent lawyers are
employed to watch the vicious meas
ures introduced in Congress and the
! Legislatures and defend the rights of
the common citizens from these in
sidious attacks and to prevent the en-
actment of laws which rob one class,
| the Home-Owners, and pass over to the
Labor-Socialsts money and property
which they do not earn, and power
which would enable them to cnslave
the common people and force them to
obey" All of this work requires
money for legitimate expenses. Every
reader who feels desire to help in
this organized work of protection can
forward to the National Citizens In
dustrial Association, st. James Build
| ing, New York. such contributions as
| he decides upon, from 81 to $500. The
work is now being carried on and with
gratifying results. IT can be widely
extended and more certain protection
insured by employing 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 begin
ming 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
intelligenuy, sl1lfully and with means
enough to make it effective.
The officers and directors of this Ma
| tional Association are sufficiently well
known to insure careful and honest use
of funds A statement vii be sent to
each contributor from time to time, and
| the Square Deal" magazine mailed
each month.
| 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
a part of their properties and more or
less personal liberty. There are COM
munities now where organized labor
/ has gained control and every man must
bow and contribute and implicitly
obey" quit work when told, -patronize
those whom the labor leaders designah,.
| and in various ways act the slave.
It has gone so far that juries fear
| to convict known murderers, and whole
! communities are terrorized.
! U. S. Judge VIM. II. Hunt, of Butte,
Montana, was brave enough to say:
God gave man his hands, his back
and tho right to use them as he pleases.
1t is an inalienable right. No power
can take it way from man. No power
1 can compel him to work. No power can
4 compel him to stop working If he de-
4 sires to work When man, or any set
4 of men, take it upon themselves to say
4 that they are the law. and to defy the
i nrocess of the courts. to defy the police
i authority of the land, to usurp the au-
4 thority of the established government.
\ to upset the very base of society in
which we all live. there is a power
which will come to the rescue of the
i man who Is wronged in that way, and
that mower is that which protects you
and protects me, and must continue to
afrnrd us all protection, else govern
ment is Destroyed"
FOR these principles our ancestors
i laid down their lives. But they stand
In the way of the Understandable, who
now seek to enact laws to overset them.
The common citizen has before him
i the organized machinery for protection,
