UNCLE SAM AND
 BRO. JONATHAN

Brother Jonathan-You Socialists are all wrong!
 Uncle Sam-Inasmuch as to which?
 B. J.-Why, don't you see, you want to rob the capitalists of their factories and machinery. That's wrong. That's just as wrong as for them to want to rob the workers of too much of what they produce. You'll never do anything that way. The workingmen will have to get together with the capitalists and form an agreement in which they will each get fair share.
 U. S.-Your position is that a man who has property, provided he got it honestly, ought to be allowed to keep
 B. J.-Exactly.
 U. S.-Regardless of how he uses it?
 B. J.-Yes. If he uses it wrongly, let him be compelled by law to use it right, but let him keep it.
 U. S.-Alright. Here we go, cav. airy and artillery, right through your position.
 B. J. braces himself.
 C. S.-Jeff Davis and the Southern plantation owning middle-c class men he represented, possessed slaves!
 B. J.-Yes.
 U. S.-Acquired honestly, by pur- chase? B. J.-Yes. U. S.-Frightfully malt1eated, and exploited by their owners to the last farthing?
 B. J.-Ye-es.
 U. S.-And did they get together, master and slave, and come to an agreement to fleece the slaves less?
 B. J..-No, indeed! We marched down there, fifty thousand strong" with sherman, and hundred thous- and strong with Grant, and shot and clubbed the shareholder into emanci- pating his slaves, and giving them a chance to learn and earn for them selves. And glorious work it was, too!
 U. S.-But, Jonathan, the slaves and shareholders should have got to- gether---
 B .J.-Bosh!
 U. S.-But, Jonathan, the North should not have robbed the South of its slaves--- B. J.-Bother! U. S.-But, Jonathan, the North should not have used arms to enforce it's theft---
 B. J.-Hang it all, man, stop your tomfoolery. Don't ysu know that the South couldn't and wouldn't free it's slaves because it had invested mil

PUNCTURED HIS ELOQUENCE.


 A lawyer in Johnstown, N.Y., while defending little boy who had been apprehended in the act of making a surreptitious entrance under the fair grounds fence, drew for the jury a most pathetic picture of the prison CTS "poor old widowed mother with the tears streaming down her face and her gray head bowed in sorrow at the thought of her little boy being incarcerated. The youthful offender cut in at this point with "Please, sir, Mir. Lawyer, my mother ain't a widow" ''Shut up, darn you,' said the lawyer.
 'I'm trying this case, not you. " Law Notes.

BOBBIN BOYS WAGES.


 John B. Lennon, treasurer of the American Federation of Labor, de- livered recently an address on strikes. Turning to the amusing features of the strike question. Mir. Lennon said:
 ''I remember strike of bobbin boys, just strike, and one that suc- ceeded. These boys conducted their fight we'll, even brilliantly. Thus the day they turned out they posted in the spinning roemsof their employers mill great placard inscribed with the words:
 The wages of sin is death, but the wages of the bobbin boys is worse. ''

tized time and again and again with the blood of heroes and heroines, we have lived to see werewolS of the lords of greed and gold apply the blacklist to woman. Great God How low the sons of the men who fol- lowed Lee and Grant to Apamattox have fallen! This little mother of whom 1 have written-the starving stikers gathered fer her what mites of gold they could, and thereby proved what has been so often proven before, the inherent nobility of the poor this little mother and her brave com rade workers must take to the streets or starve for their "disloyalty," so says the Trust while it keeps in it's employ thing for which there is no name in any language in the world, a thing which, sick unto death, home less and moneyless was taken pity on by his fellow workers, who out of their slender earnings made up a purse, who cared for him and sent him away to healing waters, and when through their charity he was healed this thing came back to scab upon the men and women who had given him his life! And this thing and his kind are what the Trust calls "loyal, while men and women who dared to stand up for their class are blacklist ed and hunted down by the were | wolves of the Trust. Workingmen, the were wolves are already preparing the graves of liberty; the trust mag mates are hoisting the black flag on the hills round Valley Forge, aud the plutocracy even now is chanting the funeral song of the republic. Awaken! Brothers You and I and all of us who must sell our brains and hands in order to eat, we know that even for the strongest man the way through earth is strewE with thorns and fire.
 How much harder, then, must it be for her whose earthly duty it is to bear and rear the race?
 And knowing this, what kind of men are we who refuse to come together and organize the might, the might of united working class, which alone can put an end to all this shame and misery?
 Are We so educated and steeped in the philosophy of graft that we are lost to manhood and honor; that we would rather continue on the road of degradation, with the chains of slav cry linking round us, than to make supreme effort to re establish the re- public

PREvARlCATIOu PUNcTUREL

A Thwerted Attempt to Misinterpret
the R.2ort Ct the National Civic
Federation on municipal Ownership.
Even high class monthlies seem UNI
able TO protect themselves and their
readers from writer's who willingly
subvert truth in order to advance q
cause In which they are interested or
to make their articles palataDlc to n
public which cares more for seasoning
than substance. The Worlds Work
was victi.liZed by a writer of this
class, who contributed to its Scptcm-
Der issue an article entitled Our Gov
ernment's Widespread Socialistic Ac-
tivities."
The inclusion of a large number of
strictly governmental functions under
the head of "sociallgtlc activities Is
! merely a type Of sensationalism which
the ordinarily intelligent reader n
| readily discount without referring to
any authority beyond his own common
sense, especially when he IS warned by
t; the editor that the writer does not use
Socialism in q common sense.
But the ordinary reader Is defense
less against misstatements of fact, a
condition which Is taken ADVANTAGE OF
by constituencies writer's. In h ar
ticle In question, after enumerating all
Of the municipal water, gas and cleo
tric light plants In the United States,
the writer, one John Martin, says:
I'm all these cases, on the word of
the commission Of the National Civic
federation, the municipal plants for
providing water, gas and electricity
have done far better for the taxpayer
and consumer than the private plants
In anything like the same situation
Prices have peer lowered and the
plants paid for largely out OF the earn
ings."
That there is not one word of truth
in this statement can be ascertalneo
by n one who will consult the report
of the commission referred to. The
absurdity Of the statement Is evident
, when It is remembered that the com
mission investigated less than ] pei
CEN of the municipal water and hgh'
!. plants III this country, carefully select
ing those that were considered tn
}, most successful. The commission made
, no declaration In regard to the success
Of such municipal plants In genera
nor even Of the few which 1t inyesti
gated. On the contrary, II declared
that 1t was impossible to make such
comparison as Mr.. Martin cites its au
thority for. Compare Mr., Martin

a Municipal Brewery.

The Vienna municipal brewery, in
which a sum of 100000 has been in
vested, last year showed a loss Of f18,-
600. In the previous sixteen months a
loss of $4,000 was incurred. SO that
the actual deficit for 1907 was proper
tionately greater, although the output
and sales of beer haa increased. In
1907 some 2,75o,O00 gallons of beer
were brewed. Not only was too much
money paid for the building and equip
ment in the first place, but the man
agement has been very stupidity con-
Quoted. Instead of appointing as man
G e an expert brewer the council put
a municipal official In charge. AS a
result money was lost in all sorts Of

First M. E Church Notes.

The pastor, Rev. f. o. Smith,
will preach at the First NJ. +.
Church Sunday morning and even
ing. Subject, morning How to
Empty the Church Seats" Even
ing. "A Snapshot of the Devil"
An unusually large number oil
strangers were present at the
services last Sunday. 1t is the
policy of the church to make visi-
tors welcome, and make them feei
at home. Some are bashful and
get out of the church before any
one has time to meet them. But
we expect them again soon and
hope to have the pleasure OF their
acquaintance.
Some times a church acquires
the bad habit OF taking in new
members almost every Sunday.
Our physician tells us that we
are in the incipient stages OF this
disease. He assures us that 1T
can not be warded off now, for
the church has had too pro-
tracted and intimate an exposure
to old fashioned heartfelt relig-
ion. The addition to the church
membership last Sunday will
prove to be a substantial help to
all the parties concerned.
Wednesday night, Nov. 4, Miss
Nora Payne tende. ed Ter resigna-
| ton as treasurer OF the board OF

with great regrets for she has

| the church through all its joys
and sorrows, and has proved the
courageous figure that has cheer
ed her associates in moments ting
ed with blue, as we'll as bright
enlng the brightest hours by her
enthusiasm and loyalty. Miss
Annie Mccormick was elected as
her successor. We are expecting
great things from the n who
was deemed worthy to take uI
the work OF so exceptional a
leader.
The pastor has spent severa.
days during the past week in the
country. The severe strain OF the
revival, together with an exhaus'
ton brought on by the long sea
son OF gloomy weather produced
a condition which made this very
advisable. The fire. h air, the pur'
water, abundant food and whole
some exercise has completely re
