Capital and Labor.
(BY By ROBERT G. 1NGERsoLL)

BY BY ROBERT &. INGERSOLL)
Capital has always claimed and
and still claims the right to com
bine.
Manufacturers meet and determine
prices even in spite. of the great
law of supply aud demand.
Have the laborers the same
right to consult and combine!
The rich meet III the bank. club
house or parlor.
Working men, when they COM
bine, gather in the street. All the
organized forces of society are
against them. Capital has the
army and navy, the legislature,
the judicial and executive depart
ments.
When the rich combine it is for
the purpose OF Exchanging
ideas.'
When the poor combine it is a
"conspiracy.' If they act in con.
cert, if they really do something,
it is a ''mob.' If they defend
themselves it is treason.
How is it the rich can control
the department of governments
In this country the political
power is equeally divided among
men. There are certainly more
poor than rich.
Why should the rich controle
Why should not the laborers com
bine for the purpose of controlling
the executive, the legislative and
judicial departments? Will they
ever find how powerful they area
A cry comes from the oppressed,
the hungry, from the down trod-
den from the unfortunate, from
the despised, from men who de-
spalr and from women who weep.

Safeguards of Privilege.

We must soon arouse the masse

with which, sooner or later, the
people will have to contend. Let
us not fear the blusterings that

Either the working class must
mold these threatening forces to its
will, or we shall soon see in
America the beginnings of a de-
spotism more dark and conscience

is even now colliding with those

WIN It AND
), ALSO LOST It

Once yesterday the Indians pull
ed out of a hole with Vancouver
filling the bases and nobody out.
Again they wiggled out of full
base affair. Also they smote the
mighty Erickson IL times safely.
They did things in the field at
times. Yet they lost the game.
1t was one of those things that
happen, but are inexcusable at this
stage of the season. The score
was 8 to for the Indians when
the procession arrived at the ninth
1t was 10 to 8 for Vancouver when
the Canuck procession stopped
coming across the plate. Mr.. Olaf
lin hit one northern gent and walk
ed another. Mr., Mahon and Mr..
Scharnweber then delivered a brief
but sufficient succession of three
base hits Such finishes stud Mr.
Claflin's past history effusively. He
appears to have been born under
an evil star of that sort.
Meanwhile we're a-slipping and
a-slidding back in the ominous d.
rection OF third place. The crisis
so handily disposed of last week
against one of the strongest teams
in the league is developing again
through one of the weakest.
Here Is a sample of how the
thing is being done:
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-08-07
BEST PITCHER IN SOUTH MICHIGAN

Remember the sampler that
used to hang upon the wall at
Uncle His which began, IF at
first you don't succeed? Well,
these few words and the ones that
rounded II out furnish the motto
for Edward Kusel, the pitching
sensation OF the Southern Michi-
gan league.
You'd feel discouraged II you
had been tried out in two by
twice league and turned down,
providing your pet ambition hap
pened to point toward base ball
success, wouldn't you?
You'd sort of wonder II O Job as
receiving teller on a street car at
20 cents an hour and good run
wasn't better than being bush
league failure. Yes? What?
But Kusel didn't. 1t might be
all right for Sweeney to give up
because he had been used rough.
Ee told some sympathetic friend.
bes he intended to make another
try and still another If necessary.
He did. When released by one
team he turned temporarily 10 In
dependent base ball and between
games collected nickels and ran
the jingler on street car.
II was after he had pitched for
semi-professional teams, Sharon,
in the o. and p. league, and Ak
ron, In the same organization,
that Kusel, In 1906, was given
trial by Clevvnnd After the
Maps released tho youngster he
played Independent ball until the
fall OF 1908, when he was signed
by Saginaw, Of Joe Jackson's
Southern Michigan league,
In 1908 Kusel didn't show
much class. chiefly because he was
not well, 1t is said. but when the
spring of 1903 rolled around, rs
springs have habit of doing, he
showed up In splendid condition.
Losing his first game through
poor support, Kusel started
string OF victories which continued
until he has won 12 straight,
League record.
