though he is Knickerbocker. Cholly
is so clever. But Cholly, ar present,
is SO i'll! There is. OF course, the
mantle OF charity which in society is
used to cloak vanity and petty ambi-
tion. For the benefit OF charity, the
society woman has the few chances OF
her lifetime To pose before the foot
lights. Such wonderful living pictures
were those we had last season! In
Boston, Chicago and New York there
was mixture of vanity, gayety and
charity. and the greatest Of these was
vanity.
But il is poor phychic wave OF
vanity that blows no one any good,

shades such as wistaria and eggplant

these crazy illustrations are used as

A blackand-white poster girl will
this winter often wear a white satin

Various charges have been made against the Western Federation of Miners. Some have been foolish, some have been ridiculous, some even criminal, but none so far that are true.

 Throughout the entire trouble, the average citizen has not felt the least alarm from these "bold bad anar- chists'', and we feel sure that our re- putation will not be sullid in the flu ture, despite the howlings of the Fair banks News. \

 REPORT FALSE. Is effort of capitalists 10, lay hheir" sins upon
 workers.

Bradstreet says the panic is due to the reckless living of the people. But there must be some mistake some where, for have the capitalists not looked after that and kept wages down so that the masses might avoid the horrible temptation of squan- dering their ''great wealth'! Cap- italsm does not pay wages higher than the standard of living of the working classes compels-and the com- petition of men for jobs under the capitalist system takes care of the standard of living pretty we'll!
 But anyway the Bradstreet claim is preposterous, put forth as an explan ation of the present panicky times. It may sound big to some, perhaps, because the name Bradstreet is behind the statement. But back of that name some one fallible human being wrote the claim, and if it had been put over his unfamiliar name no one would pay any attention to it-such is the reverence we have: ..for big high sounding titles as against unknown individual names.
 The idea of laying the sins of capital ism on the shoulders of the working class is far from new. 1t is we'll fixed habit with capitalist writers and "statesmen'' The haunted, fam ished, broken spirited working clas usually get the kicks that naturally go to a menial class under the system

 Eve affirm the economic con- dition of the, producer to be that he is exploited of the wealth which he pro- duces, being allowed to retain barely sufficient for his elementary necessi- ties.

The working class and the employ ing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hun ger and want are found among mil lions of working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.
 Between these two classes a struggle. must go on until all the toilers come together on the political as we'll as on the industrial field, and take and hold that which they produce by their labor thru an economic organization of the working class, without afhlia tion with any political party.
 The rapid gathering of wealth and4 the centering of the management of industries into fewer and fewer hands, make the trades union unable to cope with the ever growing power of the employing class, because the trades, unions foster a state of things which allows one set of workers to be pitted against another set of workers in the. same industry thereby helping defeat one another in wage wars. The trades. unions aid the employing class to- m islead the workers into the belief that the working class have interests. in common with their employers.

This Is wonderful nation and a
 wonderful people. Look at all the
 wealbh the people own! The wealth is here-you can see that easily enough. And the people are here. It is fire civ ilization that produces such wealthy nation. How happy the people should be especially when this great wealth has come into existence as result of capitalist party legislation that had fo1 it's noisily avowed purpose the "well- l-being of American labor. ,"
 How the politicians used to hold up to the workingmen voters the horrible pictures of the''pauper labor of Eur ope'-no ''full dinner paiI'' over there. Only . prosperous working class was possible in country where the wise policles proposed by the capi- talist politician could be made into law by the help of the labor votes nec- essary to get the wise politicians into office.
 Probably we ought to believe all this, for the capitalist statesmen pre- chers and editors have told it to us often enough, and yet the cold hard truth is that it is not true, and that the claims were never made hon. estly. The wealth is here, the work ing people are here, but the wealth is in the hands of relatively a few men while the workers are in almost con- stant distress. If it is fun to be lied to by capitalist politicians, then the working class have had lots of fun. An that is about all they have had as, the following facts will show. Not long ago expert acountants were em- ployed by the Woman's Trade Union league of Pittsburg to secure statis- tics from the official records of Allegh- eny County, Pa, and the resultant fig ures have been startling in the ex- treme, for they show that 89 per cent of the dead of Allegany County have left no property, and that 3119 per
