FROM WALLACE, IDAHO.

A letter from w. r. Stache, county
secretary of Shoshone county, Idaho,
states that Comrade ID. c. Coates is
standing pat on the Socialist party
ticket as opposed to the attempt of
Western Federation members to get the
socialists TO refrain from nominating
this fall.
We are more than glad 10 publish
this fact as it enables us to know where
we are. We will also, say that this
statement from Shoshone county cor.
roborates what Comrade Coates told
the writer in Idaho last fall. This is
the Wallace statement. "Since he
joined the party here Comrade ID. G.
Coates has been always in good stand
ing, and an active, self,saerificing
member, always willing TO enter the
firing line. On account Of his ability
as speaker and writer he is feared
by the opposition" II is encouraging
to get this assurance that there is a
courageous and class conscious element
within the Federation in Idaho.

"To such an argument I say; See
here, how much capital have You in
this investment y The reply is,
None Then you have nothing to
say about what goes with the surplus,
and that settles it."
This person whs has taken upon
himself the task of expounding the
teachings of Jesus Christ, has proven
by these words that he has either
clouded conception of those same teach
ings, or, what is worse still, having
the understanding, he fears, like Peter
of old, to speak the truth to the people.
According to his theory, the man
with the "capital" occupies such an
exalted position that the common herd
should not take the liberty of question
ing how he got this "capital'', much
less what he does with it. No, they
should not question his right TO rob
them of what is rightfully theirs,
forcing them to a life Of miserable pow
erty and crime.
And yet we find nothing in the
teachings or life of Jesus Christ that
bears out this mistaken idea. On the
other hand, we have ample proof that
He was ever the friend Of the laborer
and of the humble in life. In all His
Word be teaches of the sinfulness of
the accumulation of riches, and in
every instance he places the greatest
value on useful and willing service,
and yet, in the face of all this, we are
told from the pulpit, that because we
have nothing but labor to invest that
we must bow our heads in reverence
to the "man with the capital"
And just as long as the churches per
sist in upholding this false standard of
Christianity, weak humanity - that
Jesus saved and pitied-will continue
to sink in the mire of degradation and
sin, but, when they, as citizens of a
Christian nation, cease to support this
false doctrine, and follow the example
of the Great Teacher, by righting the
wrongs of the oppressed, then will
brotherly love reign supreme.

Resolutions Adopted by Yellowstone
County Trades Assembly.

Whereas, very many of our federal
and circuit judges have seen fit to
delegate to themselves the right to
harrass the working men of this
county, by issuing restraining orders
and injunctions against laboring men
and labor organizations;
Whereas, we deem it flagrant vio-
lation of constitutional liberty, in that
it deprives men of the freedom of
speech and freedom Of the press, and
whereas, instead of establishing justice
insuring domestic tranquility and Sc.
curing the blessings of liberty, that
was bequeathed to us by our fore
fathers in that immortal document, the
Constitution, justice is aborted, do
nestle tranquility is supplemented by
chaos, and we are deprived Of the
only weapon of defense we have against
capital, because we are not allowed TO
say eve do not patronize" certain
capitalistic corporations; and
Whereas, the general tendencies of
the Mine Owners Association, the
Manufacturers Association, Railroad
corporations, and all capitalistic con.
Germs, is TO coerce and enslave their
employees,
Therefore be it resolved, that we
urge upon congress the necessity of
passing more liberal laws in favor of
the working class; and be ii further
Resolved, that we urge upon the pres.
ent congress the passage of House Bill
No. 1856, and also the amendment to
the Sherman law; and be il further
Resolved, that Senators T. II. Carter

THE CONTENTED TAN.

One of the most discouraging things
the socialist runs up against Is the
contented man or woman-the one who
takes for his motto "Whatever is, is
right, bows submissively to the yoke
of custom, and accepts the injustice of
man as the will of God.
A few days ago 1 was riding on
railroad train. A few seats in front
of me were two men who were talking
about conditions in this great and glor-
ieus country of "ours". One was a
man past middle age, who showed the
effect of a lifetime of hard work.
From his conversation it was evident
that he had not accumulated much ex-
cept rheumatism and experience. Yet
he was perfectly satisfied with the
social conditions under which he had
lived and was loud in his proclama-
tions of patriotism and the fact that
he was an American citizen. He
seemed to want everybody in the car
TO know what a fairminded man he
was. He envied no man his wealth or
position. He Landed the philanthropy
and generosity of the rich. He was
sure there was plenty for all in this
land of the free and if all did not
have plenty il was because, like him.
self, they had not saved it. He was
30 fair that he was absolutely unfair
to himself and the whole working
class. He was one of those men who
would sit on a jury and hang frien
on the slimmest eireumstantial evi-
dence for fear Of being accused of
prejudice in his favor. lie was what
capitalism calls "good" man. just
a good contented slave. The man who
never kicks, never strikes, accepts a
reduction in wages without complaint
and is thankful that he is still per
mitted to retain his master.
These good men of capitalism are
like a good dog that will stock close to
his master no matter how much abuse
he gets and with bruises on his bony
carcass will continue TO bark where
he is fed.

BURGESS. REPORT.
Wallace, Ida, April "a.

Wallace, lua', APfu "a.
Editor News: The crafty politicians
of this district are out fishing for
suckers, and their bait is old and ran
cid, but the crafty one believes that
those for whom he is fishing are easy
marks. The miners of this district
are expected to vote the democratic
ticket because one of the Day family
has an interest in the renowned Her
culese mine, and this Day is demo-
crat and wants to 60 to the United
States senate. Day calls himself n
democrat because it is still believed to
be wise to make the workers believe
that there is real difference between
democrat and a republican.
The Herculese mine permits miners
Of the w. T. of NJ. to work in its
holdings alongside of non-union miners,
and for this great privilege (O the
union miners are expected to vote the
democratic ticket. Some of the miners
say that IL is no more than right that
they should do so.
Day owns the Times Of Wallace, and
in the columns of this paper he compli-
ments the miners on their prowess, but
he robs them just the same. He mani
tests a love for "dear profits" just as
do the owners of the Federal proper
ties. And / have not met a miner
that does not believe that Day would
rely upon the services Of the militia in
the case of a strike. Still, many of
the miners seem to believe that il is
their solemn duty to punish the re-
publicans by electing the democratic
ticket. None of these miners can hope
to gain anything by such weakness, but
they must punish some one, even If
they are to be the chief sufferers them.
selves.
A democratic "bull pen" looks much
nicer to them than does a republican
"bull pen''. Some of these miners
seem to believe that bull pens are
necessity, and they prefer democratic
bull pens. That much is settled, and
IL the democrats are elected there is
the promise that "cow pens" may be-
come a feature of democratic admins
tration in this district.
In view of these facts, / look for
the miners to form an alliance with
the democrats Of this county, but
there are some of the miners that are
not so "easy'', and they will vote the
socialist ticket. In no other way will
the workers be able to wrest so much
from the hands of the masters.
At one time it seemed likely that
some of the socialists might be de-
bauched with the dope handed out by
the Day interests, but / feel quite con-
fident that wiser council will prevail.
In a recent labor conference held in
Wallace, the socialists, few in numbers,
held the "fusionists" at bay until
other councils seem to have attracted
and won adherents.
i feel sure that the socialists in this
district can, by earnest, active work,
prevent the betrayal of the workers.
Now is the time TO wage earnest war
on all Grading, "trafficking'', and
political deals.
All socialists must know, and all
other workers ought to know that the
working class can never get anything
OF value except through the organized
efforts Of the working class.
All promises made by the crafty poll
ticians of either of the old parties are
made to be broken and not to be re-
deemed
How many more times will the work
ers have to be betrayed 10 learn this
simple lesson

A MINISTER'S SOLUTION OF THE
LABOR PROBLEM.

In q recent sermon in Cunningham,
Wash, a minister made the following
statement to the congregation:
"I have, in my travels mp and down
the country, met a great many dis.
satisfied workingmen. After engaging
in conversation with them, found
that their disconent was caused by the
fact that they thought they did not re.
ceive the full value Of their labor
When asked how that was, they cx.
planned that they received only few
dollars for days work, while the sur
plus Of what they produced was added
TO the profit Of their employer, who
lid not work.

From National Headquarters.
To the Locals and Comrades.

Greetings:-On March 7th I called
to your attention, among other things,
the importance of the payment by
every member whose circumstances will
permit of the Especial mileage assess
ments" which were issued to pay the
railroad fare of National delegates.
Since the above date several state
secretaries have requested an exten-
sion of time for the sale of these
stamps and expressed the belief that
the returns will be considerably in
creased thereby.
A careful estimate at this writing
would indicate that probably hardly
two-thirds of the membership will have
paid this assessment by April Is. This
will leave a large deficit even IL the
usual reduced traffic rates for conven-
tion delegates are secured.
However the reduced rates have not
yet been secured. A meeting of the
Central Passenger Association being
held in this city today is considering
our application. The following senti
ment was expressed in their office
yesterday:
"Until the socialists stirred up the
legislatures to the point of rate cutting
and a general onslaught on business, il
was customary to grant reductions to
conventions; but it may be different
now."
/ might add that on February 10 a
meeting Of the Association upon the
same subject reached no agreement.
You have no doubt been advised by
the state secretary to make returns
of all money and stamps in time for
him to report to the National office
by April 10.
In the same mail I am advising the
state secretary of the change here pro-
vided for, and unless he writes you to
the contrary, kindly accept and act
upon the following instructions;
1. Send at once all money in hand
for assessments to your state secre.
tary.
2. Make an extra effort to dispose
of such stamps as remain in your pos
session.
3. Make final settlement April 80
with your state secretary, returning all
unused stamps. April 30 is your last
mailing day.
The state secretary is required to
make returns 10 the National office
so that complete report may be
rendered TO the National convention in
session and for the further reason that
the funds must be available TO meet
the expenses for which they are pro-
vided.
Please remember that the state or
ganization will be charged with the
stamps not returned, and that the
state secretary cannot make a proper
report il you fail him.
This plan of guaranteeing equitable
representation in a political party con-
vention is an innovation worthy Of
socialists; correct in principle and de-
serving of such support as will mark
IL for success, and demonstrating once
again that socialists, whenever and
wherever possible, square their prac'
tice with their principle.
The average membership during the
year 1907 was 29,270. The average
for January, February and March,
1908, was 4O,sl2. Now for rousins
campaign, and rightly started.
Mail final report on assessment
stamps to your state secretary on this
date, April 30.

WARNING I

All socialists are hereby warned to
be on their guard against a man
named Frank Kolb, height 5 feet 9
inches, weight about $50 pounds.
Light hair, smooth face; speaks with
a German accent; dresses well and
wears a large fedora hat.
This man makes it a habit TO ap-
proach socialists with hard luck
story for the purpose of obtaining
money.
He is not member of the party
and is entirely unworthy of the con.
srderation of any socialist, and has all
the earmarks of a spotter. The last
we heard of Kolb he was in Wallace
