SOCIALISM AND THE RACE QUESTION

The capitalist almost invariably

When you are told that ia. socialist
wants you TO divide up. you then think
| would dislike very much 10 Labor
hard and accumulate a few thousand
dollars and then have TO divide up
with some worthless individual thar
had spuandercd his money in diss,Pg-
tion. When the idea Of private prop.
erty associates with socialism in the
form that the capitalist mind iustills
it in your make up, there is only one
alternative and that is for socialism 10
become loathsome TO you. For those
that wish to study socialism in an un-
biased manner, must remember that
the idea of private property that the
masses entertain is only nominal, but
il is not nominal with the capitalist,
it is quite real. This idea is perpet
uated for the purpose of allowing a
few 10 maintain the ownership Of
things that we are collectively depend
ent upon, aud thereby effecting the
ownership of us also. The idea is in
Judicious for our benefit, aud very
wise for the capitalist. We are also
taught that socialism is opposed to re.
ligion, but not so, socialism is no more
opposed TO religion than any other po.
litical party, its business is confined
exclusively 10 the equity of material
things that we are dependent upon for
a livelihood
The system we live under, knows
very well what ideas are most potent
to bring pressure in their favor. The
only medicine for human injustice and
suffering is wisdom, and if we as a
race do not cooperate with those that
are working for that medicine, il will
only mean the procastination Of justice
and alienation of our predicament
We will now consider the spirit that
permeates the system Of society that
we are forced TO live under in its con.
struction.

society is based upon aptagonism, one
man pitted against the other, from that

SOCIALISM SCARES
ENGLISH RULERS
Representative of Nobility Sees Socialist
Spectre Desires House of Lords
Retained as a BulwarK

To Judge from Lord Roseberry' g
presidential address before the Liber-
al league at one of its meetings of
recent date in London the more wide
awake defenders Of capitalist institu-
tions are becoming, it appears, pain
fully alive to the increasing menace
Of socialism. 1t is very refreshing for
socialists to see socialism raised from
obscurity in England to question OF
national concern. The English social
lists are to be congratulated upon the
great success which has attended their
efforts and the resistance they have
aroused among the owning class which
instead of retarding the movement 8
growth will greatly facilitate it.
The most remarkable part of Lord
Roseberry's speech is his reference to
the movement directed against the
House of Lords, the non-elective sec
ond chamber also to the veto of the
sovereign of which the sovereign has
long since been deprived. Many Lib
erals are advocating the abolition of
the House of Lords; the noble Lord
and ex-premier severely eritieizes their
attitude and considers il the height
of absurdity on their part. To him
the spectacle of Liberals marching un-
der the banners of "nO second cham
Der" is tragic especially at time
'when a second chamber is most neces-
sary 20 combat socialism, "The
veto of the sovereign has long disap-
peared," said Lord Roseberry, "and
now it is sought to do away with the
second chamber. Contrast this with
the conditions in the United States
IN the most democratic community in
the world. There you find written
constitution not one syllable or letter
of which can be altered without grave
and lengthy constitutional process
You find senate of overpowering au'
thority and you find veto in the
hands Of the president not a veto that
has fallen into desuetude but an ac
tive and vigorous element in the con
stitution. Here we have nothing hui

the doing away with all overtime for
Sundays and holidays, a graduated
scale Of wages, refusal to recognize
men as union men OF members of or
ganizations, the payment of all en-
ployees according to individual merit,
regardless Of maximum or minimum
scales, and the right to change the
shop rules at will. All of the Gould
roads probably will be involved in the
strike before it is ended. At recent
meeting of the maehinists Of the Gould
roads, held in Kansas City it was un-
animously voted to call out all the men
on the Missouri, Pacific, the Iron
Mountain, Wabash, and the Texas Pa
cifc, if the Denver & Rio Grande offic-
ials did not deal with the men as mem
bers of the organization. The ulti-
matum of the company was posted on
February IL, and stated that after
March IA, the Denver & Rio Grande
road would conduct its business under
strictly "open shop" conditions, would
refuse to recognize any committee Of
union men and would pay the men on
strictly individual basis.
The shop men have fought for years
TO have the workday reduced from ten
to nine hours and practically succeed
ed last summer in having the nine
hour day universally established on the
railroads throughout the country, and
it seems that the railroads are going
to make an attempt to get back to the
longer workday again.
The union men contend that in spite
of the repeated declarations of the
company officials that wages were not
to be reduced, that is the main motive
back of the trouble. Had the strike
been called last September. 5000 men
would have been called out. hut nearly
300 men have been laid of since that
time.
The shopmen have been on strike on
the Santa Fe for long time and with
the tying up of the Gould lines this
will give the union chance 10 win
the Santa Fe strike, as the strike will
take away strike breakers from off
that road.

In the early morn of February ODD,
as the orb of day was family streak
ing the eastern horizon, there rang
ont in the city of Denver the report
Of an assassin's pistol. With the re-
port of that pistol went out a life that
was eonsecratcd TO the Catholic church
As few of the faithful gathered
in the sacred edifce known as ST.
Elizabeth 8 church, there was seen To
the portals a small, sinewy man with
beady eyes, haggard face and the
swarthy complexion of southern Eu-
rope. lie was detected looking erea-
ture, and appeared as though he had
ben abandoned or isolated from the
companionship of his fellow men. lie

eut wretch from a foreign shore was
seen 10 wend his steps towards the al
tar, and when he reached the commun'
ion rail, partially kneel, in order tha'

which is looked upon by every devout

No union or trades assembly can
settle the strike, when a settlement is
made it must be satisfactory to the
lnemen of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming
and Utah and the operators of Mon
tana, and the strike will not be de-
dared off until the agreement has
been ratified by strikers of the above
above named states.
The Bell company has done all in its
power to cripple the unions of Mon.
tana. Every union man in this state
has an injunction on him, placed by
Judge Hunt of the Federal court at
the request of the corporation. Two
Anaconda union men have served a
sentence in Helena Jail for violating
the injunction. Edwards, Cults and
shannon are now in the Helena bastile,
placed there without trial by jury,
sentenced for being true TO the cause
of unionism and daring To defy gov
ernment by injunction.
The Bell company started one-man

union men should be determined not
TO see the boycott raised until the
company makes a settlement with its
striking employees.

for defying government by injunctions

A Horse story.

Our Dumb Animals tells remark able story about the intelligence of a mare who saved her colt from death by stopping a train on railroad in Texas. The colt had fallen with its legs through a railroad bridge, and the mother started down the track to meet the coming train. As the train came up she stood on the track whinnying. The train stopped, and then the mare trot1ed ahead of it as it moved slowly to the bridge. Here the colt was dis covered and extricated from it's peril ous position. The story was vouched for by the engineer, railroad men and passengers in the train.

O. K. and It's oriain.

There have been many theories advanced as to the origin of the ex- pression o. K. Some of them have been partly correct, and some have not. Over century ago a great deal of the best rum and tobacco came from Aux Caves, which was pronounced o. K, and the best of anything was said to be o. K. The meaning of this phrase is still re- tained and figures largely in the business world. No doubt many have thought that 0. K. came from "Oll Korrect." During the cam paign of General Jackson his en- emies did all in their power to in- jure him in the eyes of the people. Once he signed some papers and wrote after his name, "This is O. K." The Democrats took up the phrase and said that it was an ab- breviation of the customary indorse. ment of the general, as "0ll Kor. rect" They put it on their ban. ners, and the meaning "0ll Kor. rect" stuck to the letters.
