(By William Restelle shier.)


All selfrespecting work people want
the best of food, the best of clothing,
the best of housing.
They want security of employment,
short hours of labor, healthy conditions
in the mines and shops and factories.
They want education for their children,
freedom from the fear of want, voice
i'll the management of industry.
They want the means and the leisure
with which to enjoy life.
But of these things they are deprived
under the reign of capital.
Notwithstanding the fact that all the
wealth is produced by labor, they must
be content to eat cheap food, to wea,
shoddy clothing, to live in tenements or
miserable looking houses.
They work in dingy factories, have
long hours of labor, wear the badge of
inferiority and must cringe before their
masters in order to hang onto their jobs
They never know when illness, acct.
dent. hard times or the caprice~of their
boss may throw them into abject pow,
erty.
Their children are often snatched from
the home at tender age to help exc out
the family existence.
Their daughters are frequently forced
into a life of shame through the pressure
OF economic want.
Their higher natures are stifed in the
sordd struggle for bread and butter.
They are bounded from city to city,
from country to country, in the effort to
make a living.
They are sometimes forced to beg or
steal in order to avoid starvation.
They are dcspiscd, robbed, duped and
oppressed in all conceivable ways.
WHO is TO BLAME?
Simply nobody but themselves
The workers are getting exactly what
they have voted for these many years.
By voting their masters into power
election after election they have voted
for the perpetiation of wage slavery.
BY supporting the old political parties
they have supported the industrial sys
tenn for which these political parties
stand.

The grand duke was wide awake.
He saw it all and was equal to the oc-
casion- After all, he was kindly old
gentleman and, once his moment of
modification was over, he was not
above charity.
Bobby's poor little head had slipped
over to a most uncomfortable position
against the arm of the chair. Putting
his finger TO lips, the grand duke tip
toed carefully up to the throne. With
very gentle hands he lifted Bobby's
head and, infinitely tender. stuffed a
throne cushion behind the curly head.
a splendid smile in his eyes, he tip
toed back to his chair.
AS he passed Count Halfont, who
had risen, he whispered:
.'Dear little man, / do not forget,
my lord, that I was once a boy. God
bless him.
Then he sat down, conscious of
fine feeling of goodness, folded his
arms across his expansive chest and
allowed his beaming eyes to rest upon
the sleeping boy far back in the chais
of state. Incidentally he decided to
delay few days before taking up
the bond question with the ministry.
r The grand duke was not an ordinary
diplomat.
In one of the curtained windows,
far removed from the throne, sat
Truxton King and Lorraine Tullis.
All about them people We're watch
ing the delicate little scene, smiling
drowsily Mt the grand dukes tender
comedy. No one was looking at the
two in the curtained recess. Her hand
was in his; her head sank slowly to-
ward his inviting shoulder. Her heavy
lids dropped lower and lower, refus-
ing to obey the slender will that ar.
gued against complete surrender. At
last her soft, regular breathing told
him that she was asleep. Awaiting
his opportunity, he tenderly kissed the
soft brown hair, murmured a gentle
word of love and settled his own head
against the thick cushions.
Everywhere they dozed and nodded.
The grand duke smiled and blinked
his little eyes. He was very wide
awake.
That is how he happened to see the
prince move restlessly and half open
his sleep bound eyes. The grand duke
leaned forward with his hand to his
ear and listened. He had seen the
boys lips move. From dreamland
came -Bobby's belated Good might"
THE END.

I'm Graustarl, but not in New York.
That reminds me. You'll be more than
a baroneSs-more than princess.
You will be queen. Don't you catch
the point? You will be Mrs. King
The Grand Duke Paulus was dis
unctly annoyed. He had Travelled
many miles endured quite a number
OF hardships. and all to no purpose.
When dawn came his emissaries re-
turned from the city with the lamen-
table information that the government
had righted itself, that Marlanx's SEN
satlonal revolution was at an end and
that the regents would be highly hon
ored II his excellency could overlook
the distreSSingly chaotic conditions at

The grand duke resolved that he

would be declined with thanks. Incl
i; dentally he would mention the bond
issue; also he would find the oppor-
tunity TO suggest TO the ministry that
his government still was willing to
make large grants and stupendous
promises if any sort OF arrangement
could be made by which the system
! might be orerated in conjunction with
branch lines of the imperial roads
And so 1t was that at midday he
rode in potnp and splendor through
the city gates, attended by his staff
and rather overpowering bodyguard
The grand duke, with all the AFRO
gance of real parsonage, was late. 1t
was not for him to consider the con-
ditions that distressed the court of
Graustark-not at all. He was Il
grand duke and he would take his own
time in paying his respects. When he
finally presented himself at the castle
doors sleepy group of attendants
actually yawned in his presence
No one had slept during the night
just passed. Excitement and the suf-
fering of others had denied slumber to
one and all, even to those who had not
slept for many days and nights. Now
the reaction was upon them. Relaxa-
ton had succeeded tenscness.
When the grand duke entered the
great, somber throne room he was
confronted by n punctiliously polite
assemblage, but every eyelid was as
heavy as lead and as prone to sink.
The prince sat far back in the great
chair OF his ancestors, his sturdy legs
sticking straight out i'll front of him.
The grand duke advanced between the

everywhere for support. The grand

as he stepped forward and kissed the

address. After five minutes of high
sounding platitudes he again turned
to- the prince. 1t was then that he
received his first shock.
Prince Robin was sound asleep. His
head was slipping sidewise along the
satiny back of the big chair. and his
chin was very low in the laces at his
neck. The grand duke coughed en-
phatically, cleared his throat and grew
very red in the face.
The court of Graustark was distinct

duke tartly. interrupting himself to
address the prime minister.
''He is very tired, your excellency."

For awhile they stood in awkward

The master class consists of capitalists,
landlords, money-lenders. The slave class
consists of farmers, wage-workers and all
those who earn their living by the sweat
of their brow.
The master class is enabled to keep
the slave class in subsection because it
is in control of the lawmaking power,
the federal, provincial and municipal gov
ernments, the courts, the police, and the
militia.
The master class is numerically weak,
the slave class numerically strong The
slave class has it in its power to eman-
cipate itself from all forms of domina-
ton. 1t has the power because it has
the majority of the ballots.
But the master class also controls the
press,the universities, the churches-the
great avenues of information and instruc-
ton. Hence it's ability to mold public
opinion and dupe the workers into believ-
ing that this is all as it should be.
The purpose of this article is TO coun-
teract the sinister influence of capitalist
books, capitalist papers, capitalist school
ing and capitalist sermons upon the
minds of those who toll.
WHAT TO DO.
There is only one thing that keeps the
workers in the unhappy condition which
we have described, namely, their own ig
norance and stupidity.
AS long as they continue voting their
masters into power, just so long will they
have to put up with unemployment, star
walton wages, cheap food, shoddy cloth
ing, bad conditions in the mines, fields
and workshops.

tically all of these cows are small

large herds in six different states. Mr..

The next six cars were assembled and
