SOCIALISM AND RUM.
How the Liquor Question Would Be
Settled Right.

The Prohibition question having
been made much OF in the campaign
Just past, that the following contribu-
ton to the question is of interest.
I'm order to peTpetrate the system
OF slavery. thievery and beggary under
The capitalist system. it becomes alb
solutely necessary to keep the work
ers divided on religious and political
questions for fear they will unite an
economic demand.
"One OF the false issues calculated
TO excite the working man Is pro-
hibition. Now what interest has the
working man In prohibition? You arc
already prohibited from nine-tenths
OF the good things of life If you want
TO live I'm q modern house. it's prohibit
ed as far as YOU are concerned. If
YOU want to send your children to
school instead of the factory, you're
prohibited You're prohibited from
nearly all OF the good things of
life
The prohibitionists take advantage
OF the prevailing distress among the
working class to give a false inter
pretatlon of the economic conditions
and spread their peniclous doctrines,
II YOU draw their attention To child
slayerr they will howl run" IL
you speak OF the crowded tenements
they answer rum" II you broach
the unemployed problem, their reply
IS Rum! Rum, Rum, RUM" They
know nothing but rum; and they claim
not TO even know the taste OF that.

CRAHAME WHITE
HAS NARROW ESCAPE

DOVER. England. Dec. lS.-Claude
White, the English aviator,
who recently won the international
aviation cup at Belmont park, had
narrow escape from serious injury to-
day. His machine was wrecked and
he was badly cut about the face.
Many aviators have been waiting
here for fortnight to compete for
prize for the longest flight across the
English channel in 1910, offered by
Byron De Forest, the flight to be
made by an Englishman on an Eng
lish-built machine.
Graham-Whit this morning ascend.
ed for a trial flight In strong wind
His machine began to rock and he
was unable to restore its equilibrium.
1t turned over and plunged to the
ground and was completely wrecked
The aviator fell a little to one
side 1t was thought at first he had
suffered concussion of the brain, as
he was unconscious, but he soon re-
vived, and II was found that he had
received nothing more than bad cuts
about the face. 1t Is expected that
he will be about within a week.
He has ordered another biplane Of
the Wright type from Bristol, and
will make another attempt to win the
prize
A second competitor, Sopwith, Jared
better He left Eastchurch. Shippey
island, at SIS o'clock in the morn
ing, crossed from Dover to Calais,
and descended at Beaumont, Belgium,
a distance of la miles.
In his trial flight Graham-White
had descended to within 100 feet OF
the ground when his machine began
to wayer. His actual fall probably
did not exceed 10 feet
sopwIth completed his flight of ia
miles within three and one half
hours. This is the first time a Brit
ish-made aeroplane has crossed the
channel. and in addition 1t Is a record
for distance under the terms.

DOES LABOR TAINK7
Some Things That Make II Look As
II She Docs.

Every one OF thr great industrial
countries is nov being profoundly dis
turbed by an interminable series OF
gigantic conflicts between Capital and
Labor. This profound disturbance Is
worldwide. II takes no account of
local conditions. OF political boundary
lines, OF forms OF organization, OF So
c,0i or political opinion.
Every layer of the working class OF
the world organized or 'Unorganiz.
ed. progressive and conservative, is
being drawn successiyely into this con
lict against tho worlds cXplolters.
The immediate m"fi b cause OF
this universal unrest and conflict Is
uindoubtcdly the Increased cost OF liv-
ing. which Is a worldwide phenomen-
on. The increased cost of living has
made IT impossible for the workers TO
continued 20 exist under the old con
Gillcus OF work and wages II has
made lirc intolerable for the great
masses Of the pouul7tIOn aud Is driy-
ing them TO desperation.
II forces the workers 10 insist up
on better terms oi employment. The
increased cost OF living means that
i'm the past decade the wealth OF the
capitalists has increased Simultaneous
Is with the poverty of the masses. It
means that the profits of the capital
lists have multiplied at the same time
that the exploitation OF the workers
has been intensified. II means that
the organizations OF the capitalists
have gained in power and that the or
ganiZstions OF the workers have not
kept pace with the increase in the
power Of their antagonists. 1t means
that the results of years Of industrial
progress have again been confscated
for the exclusive advantage Of the
few

PEACE PREVAILS IN OTHER
PARTS.

LAREDO, Texas, Dec. 1S.-With the
exception OF the Guerrero district.
Mexico is peaceful today. according 20
dispatch from Enrique {. Creel.
Mexican mister OF foreign relations
In a telegram 20 Miguel f. Diebold,
Mexican consul at Laredo. Minister
Creol describes the routing Of the rev
olutionary forces near PederDallcS
several days ago and continues:
with this new defeat II is probable
the balance OF the revolutionary forces
will form into scattered groups which
will be tenaclously pursued by the fell
eral forces until subdued. Peace pro-
walls unaltcred in every other part of
the republic"
The government is energetically
pushing its campaign against the en-
situation, said Diebold in discussing
the situation.
Navarro Protects His Men,
The alleged inactivity of General
Navarro. as previously reported. was
due to the fact that he did not wish
TO pursue the so-called pTonunclados
into the mountains. not desiring un-
necessarily 10 jeopardlze the lives Of
his soldiers They followed strate-
gic movement which would draw the
enemy out into the open for an en-
gagement rather than pursue them in
to an impregnable stronghold.
THE country in that vicinity Is the
Switzerland OF America and contains
many deep ravines. high mountains
and rccesses such as in former years
offered safety 10 bandits and afforded
such adequate protection that fifty
men could ehectually withstand an on
slaught Of a thousand soldiers. IT is
because OF the rought nature that Cen
eIal Navarro chose to await the time
when he could encounter the enemy in
open country.
In my opinion the alleged revolu-
tionary movement Is now effectively
stamped out OF course, a minor guer-
lila warfare may be carried on for n
short time, but the ultimate suprem-
acy Of the government forces is I'M

THE ANGEL OF oiscoNTeNT.

When the world was formed and the
morning stars,
Upon their paths were sent
The loftiest-browed OF the nneeis was
named
The Angel of Discontent
And he dwoh with man In caves OF
tho hills,
Whore the crested serpent stinSs.
And the tiger tears and the sne-"oii
bowls,
And he told Of better things.
And he led man forth to the lowered
town,
And forth to the fields OF com
And no told OF the ampier work snead
For which his race Was oorn.
And he whispers to men OF those Nils
he eeos
In the blush of the golden west;
And they look to the light or MS ntt-
ed cye
And they hate the name oil rest
In the light of that eye doth the slave
behold
a hope that Is hiSn anu pie'c,
And the madness OF war comes into
his blood,
For he knows himself slave.
Tho serfs of wrong In the light OF
that eye
March on with victorious songs;
For the strength of the right comes
into their hearts
When they behold their wrongs.
IT'S by the light of that lifted eye
That errors mists are rent
A guide to the tablo-land OF Truth
Is the angel of Discomfort.
And still he looks with his lifted eye
And his glance is far away.
On light that shines on the glim-
mering hills
OF a diviner day.
