WHAT Is AN INJUNcTIoN7

An injunction is law which is
found in on statute book.
A law which has never been voted
on by any set of Legislators.
A law which has never been signed
by any governor or president.
A law which exists without consent
of the people.
A law which came into being as the
will of one man.
An injunction is a law made by a
Judge. And penalties are fixed by the
same judge.
And the offenders are tried before
the same iudge.-Exehange.
The above appeared in the Chicago
Socialist and is going the rounds of the
press, being credited to the Daily.
Ii originally appeared in the News.
The Daily took lines from and claim
ed it as theirs. Ii is all extracts from
the article that made Judge Hunt an
enemy of the Montana News.
Talk about robbers. But the Daily
robs the News each week and gives
us no credit whatever.
1t robs us in the same way as the
Appeal used our lines on Edmund
Burke in advertising Darrow's address
to the Haywood iury-without any ere
dit whatever-appropriating to itself
the product of other peoples brains.
The Daily has taken the poems right
from our columns, written by our own
contributors. and published them with
out one word of credit.
Such methods in the socialist pres'
are not only unprofessional, but they
are dishonorable and uncomradelike
Once in a while articles appear in
the News without credit but il is only
because of the trouble we have had II
get our mechanical work as we wan
il, and of the abnormal tasks that have
been imposed upon the management OF
the paper, so that there has been ;
great deficiency of editorial oversight
Other socialist papers. or any paper
for that matter, are welcome to what
ever benefit they may get out of th'
columns of the News, but il is eertainl,
due us as fellow comrades and struggl
ing co-workers to state where the bril-
liant aphorisms and valuable informa
tion came from.

NEEDLESS ALARM.

Here is a letter from st. Regis that
shows one of the reasons why il is
hard to maintain a local paper to fight
the battle Of the workers in their own
community. 1t is from Comrade Jud.
son Davis.
al received your kind, welcome let
ter some time ago, and will say that
the st. Regis local is not organized
at present. The comrades do not keep
up the club but there is quite batch
of socialists here.
am not prepared at present to do
anything for the coming campaign. |
am developing a group Of copper and
gold properties, and it takes lots OF
money. But about July | will helT
the party and the fall campaign. Will
subscribe for the paper AS soon as ]
can II our socialist publications arc

the government Is trying to do"
We will say that there is no neeJ
of the comrade having bad attack OF
Montana news., 1908-04-09

the shivers over the impending suppress
sion of socialist papers. Not the slight
est inclination to take any such action
is manifested on the part of the United
States government provided socialist
and other newspapers keep within the
bounds of decent public liberties, and
do not make the howl of suppression
an excuse to print inexcusable sensa-
tions or show themselves willing to
become a party to useless crimes.
The censorship alarm is where scare
head yellow journalism, calculated to
arouse the sympathy of the ignorant,
exists.
There never was the slightest justi-
fication for the "wolfl Wolff" cry in
regard to the Penrose bill. We have
reliable information in regard to the
Penrose bill that it was never intro
duced in congress with any idea of its
passing either house. Senator Penrose
presented the bill at the request of
other parties, and had no intention of
supporting it.
The American nation is not ready to
any such stand as yet provided social
ist papers as all other papers stick
within the bounds of reason, and ra-
tional consideration of common rights.
Such pseudo issues for questionable
agitation are in the nature of the
street fights that have been aroused
in certain sections of the country.
When socialists go up and shake their
fists under the noses of the authorities,
and dare them to arrest them, it is not
surprising that persons in authority
should take up the dare. Human ma
ture still beats in the breast of even
capitalist policeman.
If socialists everywhere, in newspa-
pers and local work, would direct their
propaganda along sensible, constructive
lines, building up strong efficient ac-
tion and achieving definite results in
the interest of the working class, they
would soon attain local powers that
would battle capitalist designs.

A Municipal Cow.

The establishment Of municipal
dairy has been proposed in Washing
ton and is being seriously considered.
The health department of the District
of Columbia has been unable to bring
the milk supply of the City up to the
proper standard, although the laws un-
der which the department has author
ity to act are rigid and drastic. Hence
II is proposed to conduct a municipal
dairy on a model plan, the district gov
ernment to own the cows, stand all
expenses and apparently to sell the
milk.
The plan is fathered by DR.. Wiley,
the chemist and poor food expert Of
the agricultural department. II is pro-
posed that the municipal dairy shall
not only be set as an example TO other
dairies, but that il shall furnish milk
particularly to families in which there
are infants or invaIids.
As a supplementary means Of protec-
tion, public certifcation Of dairies that
come up TO the required standard is
recommend under still more strict re-
gulations. The plan of certi6cation
Is similar In principle to the present

TAKE BREATH AGAIN AND ON.

The spring elections show that the
socialists are more than holding their
own over the country, although in
many places they conserve their forces
by not attempting to put city tickets
in the field.
In Helena the vote was straight,
solid socialist, the close fight between
the church element and the saloon
forces rallying every adherent of each
side of the contest. The fact of the
matter is the church got flim-fammed
by the corporation interests and lost
The water and gas companies used the
superficial issue of moral campaign
and the democratic party, and the
mixture did not go well together, and
the natural, small capitalist interests
which 60 with the graft and crime and
evil social influences which mark the
capitalist system, rallied like aoek
of buzzards to protect their own exist
ence.
The church does not fit into capital
ist politics, no matter how much it may
desire to. That day is past. And the
Catholic church, with all its zeal, wa;
effectually rooted in Helena.
At Red Lodge it took the combined
capitalist forces to defeat the social
lists.
In Livington all capitalist forces
combined against Charlie Simpson il
the third ward. SO the socialists are
forcing the enemy to close ranks.
Local Butte put up splendid cam
paign, and the socialists held their own
Still the fact remains that the Amer
lean working class are in the most alb
ject and degrading slavery simply be
cause of their ignorance. They hav'
no conception of how to use the ballot
They vote in the form of government
that makes them paupers.
Marx said that the capitalist system
was the most expert ever invented fo
exploiting the producer; it takes ;
greater per cent of what he produces
1t may also be said that it is the mos
skillful and powerful in degrading tn,
producer in that, while the. slave o
other historic periods knew his help

slave in America is bamboozled int
