newspapers, they make the mistake of believing the Labor-Socialists are a majority because they make the most noise, but it has been shown time and again that when public man prosti- tutes his ideas of right and justice to the common citizen, and supports measures which seek to take money, property and liberty away from the. home-owners and the people find 1t out as they will, the cowardly official Is generally defeated at the next elec- tion, for the Libertyloving. peaceable Home-Owning class of Americans heavily out-number the Labor-Social- ists, and these Home Owners are the principal readers 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 in- sidious attacks and to prevent the en- actment of laws which rob one class. the Howe-Owners and pass over to the Labor-Socialists, money and prop erty which they do not earn, and pow CT which would enable them to en- slave the common people and force them to obey" All of this work re- quires money for legitimate expenses. i Every reader who feels a desire to help in this organized work of protec- tion can forward to the National Git izens' Industrial Assn, St. James building, N Y, such contributions as he decides upon from s1.0O to $50000. The work is now being car ried on with gratifying results. It can be widely extended and more certain protection insured by employing a i larger force of active workers. The Labor-Socalists contribute literally 1 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 or ganized stand is, made and the work of protection carried on intelligentlv, skilifully and with means enough to make if effective.
 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 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 HomeOwners fail to stand together they will certainly lose at least a 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, patronize those whom the labor leaders designate, and in various ways act the slave.
 It has gone so far that juries fear to convict known murderers and whole communities are terrorized. |. S Judge Wm. H. Hunt of Butte,
 Montana. was brave enough to say:
 God gave man his hands, his back
 and the right to use them as he
 pleases. It 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 1, stop working if he desires to work.
 When man. or any set of men, take , it upon themselves to say that they : are the law, and to defy the process
 of the courts, to defy the police au- : thority of the land, to usurp the au- 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 man who is wronged in that way; ' and that power is that which protects
 ycu and protects me. and must con- ' tinue to afford us all protection, else r government is destroyed"
 2 For these principles our ancestors ' laid down their lives. But they stand T in the way of the Labor Socialists who } now seek to enact. laws to oversei
 them.
