THE SHIP SUBSIDY

Why should private interests
receive gifts from the public treas
ury to carry on their own bust
ness? When the farmers want
ed government aid in their
business, a great hue and cry went
up against it. But now Mr.. Taft
has called on farmers to help him
give government aid to ship own
ers, and in the name of the flag.
The flag has been used to hide
dirt enough in the past thirty
years, but the ship subsidy dirt is
perhaps the dirtiest dirt of all.
When set of men march toward
the public treasury carrying an
American flag, and singing my
country, tits of thee" it is dollars
to doughnuts' that they are after
something for nothing" for them
selves. Is it very important that
sea- going vessels should be Amer
can vessels! Is it so important
that we must have the governm mt
pay a subsidy to the owners of
those vessels sufficient to cover
their losses? Then let the govern
ment build and navigate its own
vessels. What the government
pays for, the government ought to
control and manage. Why should
the government pay for keeping
up private property?-The Public.

CAPITAL AND LABOR

Why has not the labor union as
much right to dictate to the CAPT
tai union as the capital union has
to dictate to the labor union
Where did capital, as exempliiied
in the Car company, get the right
to hold labor in subordination
Before God and man, every work
ing man has a right to living
wage.
Plutocracy cannot be permanent
ly the absolute authority in a
country like our own. The CAPT
talists are armed with brains and
with money; the workingmen are
fitted out with brains, they are be-
coming acquainted with the science
of organization, they have the
numbers, and every man of them
can go to the polls with a ballot
The man who has little more
than his hands has this advantage
as against the one who has money
that while the latter has the
means of maintaining a protracted
struggle which the average work
ingman has not, the worker be-
longs to an intelligent majority
every member of which believes,
before God and the world, that he
has the right to living wage.
The sagacious policy of money
is therefore to make friend of
labor, not an enemy.-Dr. G. II
Parkhurst.

LABOR STRIKES AT BANKS

Certain bankers in Philadelphia,
having declared their sympathy
for the Rapid Transit company,
the central labor union has called
upon the working men and their
sympathetic friends to withdraw
all their funds they may have on
deposit with the banks, thereby
teaching the bankers that without
the money of the workers their
institutions of finance must be a
failure as without the labor Of the
workers all industry must cease.
Labor and capital cannot afford
to be Mt war. And the great strike
in that city ought to be an object
lesson to the country.

To end international war the
conversion OF but few is necessary
the agreement Of only four great
powers to substitute the system Of
law for the system of war would
lead to every nation following suit.
The united boycott Of any nation
that refused to go to court would
be the only necessary coercion.
The end Of international war would
not at once prevent further civil
war, but like chattel slavery, when
once abolished, war would be
ended for all time Lucia Ames

LAND GRADERS

Congressman Isaac X. Sherwood
of Ohio is quoted as authority for
the shocking statement that sit is
notorious fact" in Washington
that President Taft appointed
Ballinger Secretary of the Inter
ior at the request or demand of
the Guggenheim interests because
he had to, in order to pay the
Guggenheim syndicate for money
and influence in carrying the
Rocky Mountain States in 19OS.''
This statement, though shocking,
is not improbable.
1t might be well for the investi-
eating committee to ascertain what
influences landed SLIPPERY Dick"
in the cabinet.
Land grabbing is nothing new.
Away back in the early days it
was reported that Jay Gould put
up $4,000 to elect United States
Senator in Colorado and later this
same senator became Secretary of
the Interior, and while holding n
cabinet position he is charged with
"robbing the country Of al least
ten million dollars in the Backbone

Jay Gould ct al"
