topeka SOCIALISTS ACT
Pass Resolutions Deploring Death of
Francisco F'errer.

The Topeka Socialist local on Sunday
took up the question of the execution of
Francisco Ferrer. the Spanish teacher.
and adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas. on October Is the capitalist
government of Spain killed our COM
rade, Francisco Ferrer. now therefore
be it
Resolved, by Local Topeka of the So
cialist party this twenty-fourth day of
October, 1909. in regular meeting as
sembled, that
First-We denounce the shooting of
Comrade Ferrer as wilfuI murder.
Second-We recognize the fight carried
on by our Spanish comrades, their fight
for freedom of speech and press and
their resistance to militarism. as part
of the worldwide class struggle and
the foul and cowardly murder of Com
rade Ferrer as an incident of that strug-
gle.
Third-We point out to our fellow cit
liens the international character of this
class struggle and our vital interest in
the success OF our comrades in Spain
The hand that shot Ferrer is the hand
that reached out of the Russian dark
ness to drag down Rudowitz and his
fellows; 1t is the same hand that itched
to place Meyer and Haywood in the
hangman's moose and that sent our
gentle Pettibone to an untimely grave;
the same that is today trying to thrust
Magon, Villareal. Delara and other
Mexican comrades back into the
clutches of the bloody despot, Diaz; the
same hand that at this very hour is
prosecuting Fred D. Warren and the
Appeal to Reason for the crime of
standing staunch and true to the in
terests of the working class
Fourth-We therefor sound again the
call: workers of all lands, unite.''
Agitate, educate, organize and rise in
mighty protest until the capitalist class
of the world shall no longer dare to
throttle free expression until that class,
guilty of this awful murder and a mil
lion other crimes, is hurled from power
and capitalism gives way to co-opera-
tive commonwealth.
Fifth-In answer to the call of our
international bureau we contribute SIS to
tie fund for establishing a Socialist
press in Spain.
Sixth-Copies of these resolutions shall
be sent tc every newspaper published
IN Topeka, to the principal Socialist pa
pers, to the state, national and interna-
tional secretaries of the Socialist party
ard to the headquarters of our party in

says the same is on file at the county
clerks office as is required by law.
When asked why such a charge
should be brought against him the
doctor said it is simply the penalty

paid little attention to me telling the
public that we were only one of the
many concerns that came into town,
sold a few herbs to the poor and ig-

fields. But when they saw that we
were really curing people, and that
many. of their best patients were
leaving them and going to the United
Doctors for their treatment, and after
taking the treatment instead of adj

Definition of Word Humane
1t is astonishing to find the Head
oI the ProVldent association making
such an adverse criticism on the work

becoming and uncalled for and he takes
upon himself the authority to tell the
Humane society that it should not do

human treatment of children, and that
In giving relief. it is doing work which

those gratuitous instructions given pub

evident that Mr.. Justis does not under
stand the meaning of the word humane.
and Tor his instruction 1 may state that
WeDsterS definition of the word humane
is, having tenderness. compassion, and
disposition to treat others with kind

authority Mr.. Justis has in this Chris
