Anybody but crazy man ought to be able
to see the natural consequence Of such thing
as that. The lazy fellows would all pretend
that they couldn't find work, and there would
be host of idlers living at the public expense
Wouldn't it be fine to have the negroes en-
Toying system which put a premium upon
their natural Discrimination to work? The
Socialists are taking the negroes into their
organizations right along; and if they once
ing without their having to labor for it, they'll
all join. It is almost impossible to hire them
now. and if this Socialistic doctrine gets out
among them, their love of idleness will be
enormously encouraged.
a. The Socialists want the Constitution
made amenable by ma ority vote. In other
words, they coolly ask to be given the power
to conGscate everybody's property. The Have
nots outnumber the HAYES, and if constitu-
tional checks were removed by majority
vote and the Senate abolished, the multitudes,
who now own no property, would simply 90
and take it through forms of law. In States
like South Carolina, Mississippi, and Lou
1slana, where the blacks outnumber the whites,
the negro would simply help himself to the
white mans property The Socialists are
even now circulating that kind of literature
among the Southern blacks.
The program concludes with the statement
that the eighteen different propositions, put
forth in the program, are but preparation
of the workers to seize the whole powers Of
government, in order that they may lay hold
of the whole system Of industry, and thus
come to their rightful inheritance.
l shouldn't wonder If the men who are scat
terlng this circular are foreigners who haven't
been IN this country long enough to get the
twist out of their tongues. There are mil
lions of these immigrants in our great cities,

Rally to the Support of Judge III. HI.
Perry, and Beat Tom Bell Out of
His Boots

HAVE you ever seen anything in Tom Bell?
Is he able to do more than smile and shake
hands? What has he ever done, in Congress?
Has he ever persistently tried to do anything?
Don't you know that he voted with the Lum-
Der Trust, and that's one reason why you're
paying such tremendous prices for lumber?
Did he not allow himself to be used by the
deserters?
He tried to decoy Champ Clark into con-
trad1ctlng Yours truly, concerning the invazu-
able asd Uhich the Deserters carried to the
He owes his election over Carter Tate to the
Populist vote. Yet he had hardly become ia
miliar with the cloak-rooms in Washington
before he began to curse "the damned Popu-
lists".
Judge H. H. Perry has announced himself
for Congress in the Tom Bell District A
truer, purer man does not breathe the breath
OF life. He was one of the five vigilant Sena-
tors who opposed that infamous Eminent Do
main Bill, last year. He was one of the Sena-
tors who endeavored to secure the ratification
of the Income Tax Amendment to the Federal
Constitution In other Words he was one of
the five State Senators who proved himself to
be a statesman and patriot.
In Congress, he would be stauncn repre-
sentative of the best ideals of the Old South.
He is able, fearless, and incorruptible. In the
hot days of the COS he never would stoop to
10 dirt" to the Popullsts or to say mean
thing about Tom Watson.
Partner, get IN behind this noble gentleman
and elect him! He may not be able to shake
hands as we'll as Tom Bell does, but you may
take my word for it that, If you elect him to
Congress- he a0iW not sell out TO the Lumber
Trust, nor endeavOr to become life preserver
to deserters.

At the top Of the hand-bill appear the
words in big letters: Socialist Party Plat
form, 1902
Beneath this heading appear the words:
adopted by National Convention May, 1908,
and by membership Referendum August 8,

ssIssued by the National Executive Com
mittee, Socialist Party, $50 Washington
Street, Chicago"
On the left, as you look at it, appears pic
ture of our bald headed friend, Eugene V.
Debs. To the left appears Ben Hanford, look
ing as well as could be expected under the cir
cumstances From Eugene's expression, you'd
naturally suppose that he'd already got his
Share; from Ben's, that, unless he got his
pretty quick, thered be trouble for somebody.
Of course you will understand that Eugene
and Ben are the perpetual candidates on the
Socialist ticket for President and Vice-Presl-
dent Of these United States.
The first page Of this circular is devoted to
what the Howling Dervishes call their "Prin-
ciples' The first announcement made in this
document is: Human life depends upon
food, clothing, and shelter" Thus they start
the car without any jerk They artfully state
a truism to which all can subscribe, and then,
by carefully forgetting the money question,
and the denominations of special privilege,
they leap to the proposition that the private
ownership of land is the source Of all our
tribulations.
Haven't they been denying that they were
opposed to the private ownership of land?
Haven't we had roars of protest from those
Southern and Western States in which the
4 ppeaz to Reason, circulates and deceives the
unwary? I hope the Democrats of Okla
homa will secure some copies OF this precious
document, and expose those Socialist leaders
with it.
Bear in mind that the Socialists accept the
negro on terms of social equality, and that
they declare that all the property should be-
long to all the people, irrespective of present
titles; and then consider certain portions of
their program, which you will find on the
second page of their circular, which they are
scattering.
a. They demand the abolition of the
United States Senate. To do so would put
an end to the equality of the States, and would
put Georgia, Florida, and other small States
at the mercy OF New York, pennsylvania, IL
linois, and Ohio.
(2) Unrestricted and equal suffrage for all
men and all women. You can see at glance
that this would give the negroes, the foreign
immigrants and the slums of the big cities
the balance of power, if not the complete mas
terry of the situation.
l3) The Socialists contend in their pro-
gram that the Government shall contribute to
the funds of Labor Associations, for the pur-
pose of assisting their unemployed members.

SOME THEORIES.

It is considered certain that the mur-
1 .derer or murderers were on every
floor in the house probably in every
room The paper IN which the jimmy
IS believed TO have been wrapped was
picked up on the third floor: the bu-
reau and desk in the physicians room
were on the second; the body Of Miss
Meehan was found on the first floor,
and the dead butler was lying IN the
basement
It is generally agreed also that Miss
Meehan was the first to be killed. She
and the murderer met in the parlor. or
else they met in the hall and the Obi
woman fed into the parIor. Il is be
lieved that the first bullet fired was
that which entered her cheek and lodged
IN the mouth. From the position IN
which she was lying, II could not have
been fired after she fell.
It Is also believed that she dropped at
the first shot, and that the second.
which burned her skin, and the third,
which pierced. her spine, were both fred
into her body as she lay prone on the
floor Then the blunt weapon with
which the crushing blows were struck
was swung The arm that swung 1t
was more Chan usually powerful. or it
was impelled by a strength born OF ter
Tor.
