said:
1.-THE American workingman is a
composite of superstition, stupidity
and cowardice. He refuses to see his
plight, and refuses even to try to help
himself. He is even more of a dullard
than his English brother, who has
begun to realize the oppression and
subservience under which the domina-
ton of the house of lords has placed
him..
There is a house of lords in this
country-more dangerous and more
subtle than the English institution.
It is composed of those who live on
that which they have not earned and
who pride themselves upon the fact
that they do not and can not work.

WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS
HAVE STRONG LEVERAGE

The successful ending of the
shlrtwaist makers strike in the
east shows the need of organized
women sympathizers.
The Women's Trade Union
League has possibly been the lar
gest single factor in this hard
fought struggle, while even the
millionaire sympathizers have
signified their intention to or,

MUD IN HOME BEATS
BLOT ON CHARACTER

"Make home the loafing place
and playground of your children,
and ten chances to one the feet
that have tracked your floors with
mud will not leave their foot
prints along the paths of vice and
crime, and the sweet faces of
your boys that have been such
joy to you in their childhood will
not adorn the rogues' gallery; the
little hand that has so often been
pressed to your lips will not push
the chips across the gamblers
table: the chubby arms of your
daughters. that have so often
entwined your neck, will not be
employed to embrace the street
rowdy and the lips not pressed
to those befouled with obscene
language nor the wine that leads
to shame."-Robert Ingersoll:

TOO MANY LABOR MEN
MEET POST AT ICEHOUSE

One G. w. Post spends thou
sands Of dollars yearly in his
TRADES against labor organiza.
tions. This amounts to consider
able for each Of the papers that
accept it. It goes mostly to the
capitalistic papers.
And the labor people materially
assist in supporting those papers
and do not break their necks in
bestowing any of their patronage
on their labor papers. The lack
of this support makes sad inroads
on the struggles of the labor pa
per proprietors to make both ends
meet.
Now, the point is this-as the
papers that do not secure the sup
port they are entitled to need f.
nancial emoluments that are lack.
ing, what would trades unionists
think if they, accepted Posts adj.
vertisements to supply them?
The ones that do not take their
labor papers would be the loud.
est howlers if this were done. Yet
they make it almost obligatory 70,
it to be done.

There are approximately two
million voters in the United States

They strike together, when ne

GLUT MAILS AT WEIGH
TIME TO BLIND GOVT

The innocence Of President Taft
and Postmaster General Hitchcock
is charming. That is, when they
are discussing causes for the pos
tai deficit, and which they pro-
pose to remedy by raising rates
on certain second class matter
nine times.
It is we'll known that the rail-
roads are not paid by actual
weight for carrying the mails. The
amounts they receive are deter
mined by periodical weighings. OF
course they know when this is
done, and they govern themselves
accordingly.
In discussing this question be-
fore the Chicago Federation of La
Dor at recent meeting, a SWITCH
man delegate told this interest
ing story:
II can tell you something about
weighing the mail matter, for I
work on a. switch engine handling
it. In ordinary times we would
handle three cars and have time
for other work. When the mail is
being weighed, however, our en-
CINE handles five or six cars, and
we work overtime to keep up with
the business.
Taft and Hitchcock never
E'tumble' to one Of the causes of
our postal deficit. They don I
know that friends Of the railroad,
including many government off.
Gals, hold off until weighing
time when thousands of tons OF
franked matter is then rushed
through the mails.
But perhaps they do know.

The state labor bureau Of Wis

workings Of the direct primary
system and among other things
has discovered that while party
bossism has not been wiped out, it
has become less powerful and
domineering and that the party

If the primary system does that

THE TICK CAMPAIGN
SHOWS RESULTS

Insects improves Cattle Says
Chief Melvin Of Animal In

Washington, 4. c., Jan. "a.

The benefits OF cxterminatlng cat
tie ticks are being realized In a very
practical why IN the parts Of the
south that haze been freed from these
pests ana released from quarantine.
Dr. A. -. Melvin, chief Of the United
states bureau Of animal industry, in
his annual report recently submitted
to the secretary of agriculture, has
the following 10 say On this subject
AN investigation recently made by
the bureau IN this territory shows that
great improvement has already result
ed from his work. More cattle are
being raised, and Il better grade OF
breeding stock is being i~ntroducod'
calves grow faster, and cattle put on
flesh more rapidly during the grazing
season and 90 into the winter In pet
ter condition because of the absence
OF the ticks; they can be marketed
without quarantine restrictions, and
higher prices are being obtained
dairy cows give Il larger yield Of milk.
ana values Of farm lands are en-
HANGED Aside from It's own obserya-
tons, the bureau has received from
persons in the released territory
numerous letters and other express
sions confirming the foregoing facts
ana testlfying to the great benefits
following tho determination OF the
ticks.
THE difference between the prices
realized for cattle from the tick-in-
tested region and the prices of cattle
Of similar grades from above the
quarantine line ranges from $225 70
SO a head ut tho principal northern
livestock markets, without taking into
account the Improvement in quality
ana weight Of cattle because of the
eradication Of the ticks, As more
than 1000, 900 cattle from the quar-
nntincd area nre annually sold in these
markets, Il can easily be seen that the
extcrmination Of the ticks means an
annual increase OF M least S3,OoO,OOO
in tho prices obtained for southern
cattle sold IN northern markets. In
addition to this, the increase In prices
OF cattle sold locally IN the south would
represent q large 8uin. This local M
crease has already been found TO
amount to from 80 to SO a head IN
the territory recently freed from
ticks. An agricultural official of one
OF the southern states reports that
calves IN the tick-free area bring just
double the price that can be obtained
for similar calves in the tick-infested
region.
Heretofore Il has been ~impractic-
able to improve the quality OF south
ern cnttle by introducing fine breed
ing animals from other sections, be-
cause such animals were liable to con-
tract Texas fever and die unless pro-
tected by incubation. Furthermore,
1t Is impossible for animals TO attain
good growth and TO thrive when they
are heavily infested with ticks. With
the eradication OF the ticks, however,
the southern farmers are enabled TO
produce good breeding animals and to
improve the grade of their stock
