Suppression of Small Publishers.
An effort is now being made by
the Third Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral to deprive the labor papers and
fraternal order publications Of the
second class mailing rate if they
carry advertisements. The com
plant against the comparatively in
significant advertising business of
these small monthly organs seems to
come from the big Edailies and the
big magazines who follow advertis-
ing as a business. 1t appears to be
simply another case of the govern
ment helping the big fish to swallow
up the little ones. The ruling which
the Third Assistant Postmaster
General is seeking to enforce is clear
ly. class legislation. It is simply
matter of assisting the strong to sup
press the weak.
The government of the United
States should give a square deal in
this matter It cannot AFFORD to
thus discriminate against the small
publishers.

A WALL STREET ORGAN OPENS
ITS EYES.

The Wall Street Journal, as its
name implies, is no labor organ.
But it has piece of labor news that
is well worth reprinting. In speak
ing Of the high cost of living the
Journal says:
IAN investigation under the au-
spices of the Sage Foundation made
in New York this year, dealt with
the household budgets. of 318 repre-
sentative families of working people,
reporting incomes varying from $500
to $1100. Less than half of these
families were supported by the in
come Of the father. Above the 5000
limit, in the majority of cases,
mothers or children were contribu-
tors.
''It was the conclusion of the ex-
pert Investigators that an income I'M
$500 is not enough to permit the
maintenance of a normal standard
of living for an average family of
five. In he 5000 and $500 groups
almost without exception some de-
ficiency in living was found.
According to these investigators,
whose opinions have been confirmed
by others, family income of from
$500 5000 may provide the neces-
stiles, but it is not until the 5000
point is reached that a decent liv-
ing is obtainable. ..s
A lar ge" proportion Of the popula-
ton of the United States is now IN
able to reach the $500 limit. Every
advance of prices increases that
number. If the advance Of prices
continues the alternative is inevi-
table that wages and income must
be increased or family life and the
home, which constitute the corner
stone of society, must be sacrificed.
This is the problem of the cost
of living"

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

In speaking Of persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes Of glass
Should never throw a stone.
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
IT'S better you commence at home
And from that point begin.
You have 40 right to judge man
Until he's fairly tried,
Should you not like his company
You know this world is wide,
Some may have faults, and who has
not?
The old as well as young;
Perhaps you may for aught we know
Have fifty to their one
I'll tell you Of a better plan, i.
And find it works full well,
To try your own defects to cure
Before Of others tell.
And though l sometimes hope to be-.
No worse than some l know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults Of my neighbors go.
To SANDER friend OF foe,
Then let us all when we commence.
Think Of the harm one word may do.
To those who little know.
Remember, curses sometimes, like
Our chickens, "roost at home"
Don't speak of others faults, until
We have none of our own. 49,

first begins through the Tammany
organization, to work up through the
usual scheming, but. suddenly ac-
quiring all the wealth of his native
land, he becomes corporation Re-
publican and goes after the control

shorter route of stock manipulation.
His untimely death spoils the story
for we are waiting expectantly to see
how his system will work out. Still,
the author shows any honest-minded
reader that the whole thing is pos
sible. The mythical things he writes
about have their real counterparts
about us, and we know that every
thing Prince Hagan says in his
bombastic way. is true. We know
that marriage among the rich is a
matter of convenience; that religion
is used for the purpose of exploita-
ton, and that our whole system of
civilization and education is untrue
and dishonest. and perpetuated sole

1 FIGHTING SMITH
Ohio Federation Protests Against
Corporation Judges.

Ohio Federation Protests Against
Corporation Judges.
The Ohio Federation of Labor has
sent a strong protest to President
Taft against the proposed appoint
ment of Alexander L. Smith. Of To-
ledo. as federal Judge for the North
ern district OF Ohio. The protest is
on the ground that Smith is a cor
poration lawyer, and follows a SIM
liar communication forwarded to
Washington by the or anized rail-
road men of the State. The Fedora
ton further states in part: 'fMr.
Smith, SO we are informed, repre-
sents the railroad corporations in
Toledo and in the past so many of
these attorneys have been appointed
to positions of this character who,
after their appointment. have earned
the reputation Of being corporation
judges, that the. working people of
this state have come to the con-
clusion that the time has now come
to select men for judicial positions
who can be relied upon to protect
the public's interest. and we feel
that Mr.. Smith will not do that"
The Ohio Federation evidently has
a keen eye for future developments
ins the interest of organized labor
and are putting forth the right effort
at the right time to protect labor.

While the worlds workers are
making up their minds as to whether
it is perfectly ethical-whether it

Capitalist is indulging in no such

ooNTR1BUToRY NEGLIGENCE.

A lawyer met a pretty miss
While he was walking out one day,
And stole from her a honeyed kiss

The lawyer held no justice ought
So frail suit as that to try.

And many a outlet and retort
Day after day on it was spent.

BY far the biggest railroad bridge
building proposition in the Territory IS

through a tunnel, this being cheaper
than bridging, There will probably be
