SEEKS FOLKS PLACE

William S. Cowherd, who received plu-s
rality of the votes in the primary as Democratfcs
candidate for governor of Missouri, will have to
fight for his place the ticket in the courts
of the state. Walter Ball, who landed second
in the running, has started a contest, and has
placed before the prosecuting attorneys of three
counties evidence tending to show that many
Of the ballots cast for Cowherd fraudulent.
One peculiar feature of the campaign which
closed with the primaries the fact that
Cowherd secured his plurality in the three cities
of st. Louis, Kansas City and Springfield. Every
other county in the entire state went heavily
against Cowherd, yet he piled up such enormous
majorties in the three cities named that he

TO DIRECT NEW THEATER

Donald Robertson, who is to be director Of
the new municipal theater experiment In Chi
cago, is equally well known as an actor and
manager. He has from the inception of the
Chicago idea been an ardent supporter OF the
experiment, and it will be carried out upon his
own lines.
There is little similarity between the new
theater project in New York and the municipal
playhouse in Chicago. The former is essentially
private enterprise, founded by a group of
wealthy men who, seeing the need of an un-
trammeled stage for the perpetuation of the
classic drama, banded themselves together, fur
nished the money to put up a magnificent build,
ing. and announced scale of prices in keepng'

What the benefcares of the system of
rural free delivery think of it may be
judged from its extraordinary extension in
answer to persistent demand. Ten years
ago when the service was started SO car
riers were employed, at an expense of $14,-
$40, while at present there are 1852 car
riers, at an estimated expenditure Of $780,
;55,524.
What the government thinks of rural
free delivery may be gathered from the
recommendation of Fourth Assistant Post
master General De Graw, that the rural de-
livery be supplemented by parcels post

ANOTHER COMMERCIAL. FAKE
Homes and Lives Endangered by Soddy Contract Work for
Profit on Hauser Lake Dam

The breaking Of the great Hauser
Lake dam, worth $2,50O,000, and the
flooding of vast reaches of land and
endangering lives and property, is the
latest commentary on commercialism s
inability to serve the purposes Of civ.
ihzation. The dam broke because Of
the shoddy contract work that was
done on it-every fellow from the
biggest guy down trying to graft
the biggest possible profit off the
job. Strength, power, massive, time
defying solidity-all sacrificed to the
miserable greed Of profit mongers,
But the most melancholy comment on
the accident is that even the capitalist
papers are breathing a reliefful sigh
that the rebuilding Of the dam will fur.
nish WORK FOR IDLE MEN.
Great civilization ism Y It, where the
only way to feed the hungry is by the

Yes, fires, cyclones, floods, whole.
sale destruction give a chance for the
miserable and famishing to get part
Of the product that they must create
again for those who will make profit
off of il.
Why in the name of common sense
haven't the people got sense enough
to form a government and build their
own dams, and own them after they
build them, and put the water on the
land and have plenty for all, without
the grace OF either God OF Governor
Hauser Then there would be no
object in shirking good work to make
more work and profit.
But that would be socialism, and
people would rather die and starye
than have that.

Marie Spiridonowa.

All comrades will be rejoiced to
hear Of the escape of Marie Spiri-
donowa from the prison of Akatov.
IL will be remembered that this is
the courageous Russian girl who was
captured when attempting the life of
one Of the Cars butchers. She
was most brutally treated, being kicked
and beaten and dragged by the hair to
a hack which conveyed her to the local
Jail where she was flung into a cell
and questioned" by two Cossack Of.
ficers who stripped her and burnt her
with their cigar stumps, and kicked
and beat her TO the length Of knock
ing one Of her eyes out. Thence she
was conveyed by train to another
prison, being outraged and further
abused on the way by one of these
"noble defenders Of their country
II Is some satisfaction to know that
both these beauties met their just de
serts shortly after at the hands Of the
revolutionists. Now that she ha,
escaped we can only fervently hope

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
DECLARES BOYCOTT GRIM
INAL CONSPIRACY.
SELF.PROTECTION
SAYS GERMAN COURT
Imperial Judge Justffies Action Of
Working Glass Which Repub-
hcan Tribunal Condemns as
Crime.

The latest decisions Of the supreme
court of the United States have de-
elared the boycott illegal, have tried to
strike from the hands of the working
class organizations weapon which n
absolutely indispensable to them IN
their struggles for the welfare Of their
class
When the highest judicial tribunal Of
our republic disarms the workers in
this manner, when the same action ap-
piled by workers against capitalists is
declared criminal conspiracy, which
used by capitalists against workers In
calmly regarded as legal-if all this,
as we have said, takes place in the
republic, what is to be said in this
respect to the monarchies and despot-
isms of Europef
1t is very timely that just recently
in the empire Of Kaiser Wilhelm .
case of boycott was taken to the So
preme court. In Mulhausen, in Elsass,
the workingmen had declared a boy
colt against two landlords who were
not willing to place their halls at the
disposal of the socialists. The boycott
was effective and the landlords turned
to the courts. The supreme court
judge at Colmar refused the appeal.
In his decision he declared explicitly:
"The landlords are not legally bound
to grant the use of the halls, but the
members of the party, on the other
hand, are not bound to further the ma
terial interests of the landlord, when
by the refusal of the halls they are
opposed to the interests of the party.
If under such circumstances a party
or a political association boycotts .
landlord in order TO force him to COM
ply with their desires, this constitutes
no attack upon good morals, but an
act Of justified protection.
An imperial Judge in the German
Empire declares the boycott "an act
of justified self-protection of the
! workers. The Republican supreme
court of the United States sees in it
a "criminal conspiracy" which shall
be paid for with the property not only
of the union, but of every member of
the union.
Where, then, is the boasted Ameri-
can freedom for the workers Of
America 7 In the monarchy the
weapons which economic development
gives into the hands of the working
class are recognized by law, their use
granted. In the republic they are
struck from its hands also by the law,
and their use declared a crime.
This would seem to be the act Of a
monarchy, if the workers of America
themselves were not to blame. In the
German Empire we see the working
class united in a great party which
protects their interests and which here
and there receives consideration even
from the courts. In America the work
ers do not even know that they have
special interests TO preserve on the
political field. They run after their
old political gods, are therefore politi.
cally powerless as workers and are
treated accordingly with contempt.
There is good ground for the workers
being treated in step-mother fashion
worse by the republic than the
monarchy. - Editorial in the New
