upon the completion of n task they

cARNEGIE's GREAT REFORM.

What do | think of the greatest re-
form of the present day?' asks Mr..
Andrew Carnegie in the October
Strand. What single act would l Sc
lect for instant consummation if | had
the power? l would enact the abolition
of war. | would abolish war between
nations, which bellies our claims to
civilization. AS long as men kill each
other they are savages." But think,
adds the editor, what a tremendous
act this would be, and of what far
reaching significance. "A decree would
be signed ~disbanding armies, dis
manning navies and putting ships,
guns and weapons on a scrap-heap. 1t
is certainly difficult to conceive of a
more sweeping reform than this, but
if it were brought about by a stroke
of the pen it would probably throw
millions of men in ~idleness, and dis
organize %irreparably the whole ma
chinery of civilization
We are not going to abolish wal by
paper DEGREES. The spread of right
eousness will best promote peace, and
Mr.. Carnegie has contributed no little
Ito that spread? Oh, no; just to the
contrary. Where trade is free, right
eousness has free play, but Mr.. Car
negie has called on this government
and not in vain-to interfere with
trade; to set up barriers which will
not permit the American farmer to
buy in the market where he sells. A
high tariff is a declaration of war, and
Andrew Carnegie is a high tariff adj
That's how he got his mill
We Americans persist in dealing
with effects and neglecting the causes
which produce poverty and promote
war. Mr.. Carnegie would enact the
abolition of war; and yet the policies
for which he stands make war newt
able.-Waco Times-Herald.
The question of universal peace is
one that has engaged the sober
thought of men for a long time. Mr..

MORE STREET TROUBLE.

This is not to be a discussion, be-
loved, but merely a question. What,
in fact, are we going to do with our
city streets? Suppose the Young Mems

1t is worth answering. Palestine is no
longer a dirt road village. Let's dis

There are thirty-five states in the
Union with official bureaus created to
gather labor statistics. President
Gompers states that in every instance
they have been created at the demand

the clearing houses for industrial in
formation and have been the central
lied influence used for advancing pro-
tective factory laws. Where a state
bureau has been established for sew
eral years there will be found the
largest number of protective and con-
serving laws; where such a bureau
has only been recently established,
such laws are proportionately fewer
in number.

George Robertson, the retired rae

of fences surrounding tracks used for

The trouble is that unless the fence
is removed entirely there will always
be a top rail.

We wish to say that every effort will be made to relieve
the water situation and in order to do this we will insist that
water be used only for actual necessities. With hydrants
constantly open the necessary pressure to force water all
over town cannot be maintained.
Parties are warned not to water lawns, flowers, trees,
etc, or to use the hose for any purpose. A due regard for
these regulations will enable us to render a fairly satisfactory
water service. Parties refusing to be governed by these
regulations will have their service discontinued. A charge
of 81 will be made for cutting off and 81 for turning on.

ERS AND ..SERVzLE TOOLS

The editor didn't tell US that Mr..
Black, a detective and Mr.. Kelley
both got fees out of railroading to
Jail these unfortunates and that 1t
was paying business. He told US
nothing about the crowded, lousy jail
where men were forced to sleep on
cold wet cement floors. He showed
us picture of the sheriff's fine res.
idence, but he didn't tell us that he
grated 25 cents day off of every
prisoner sent to Jail by his friend,
Mayor Kelley. He didn't tell the pub
lie that Sam Dixon was the man who
broke the miners union on New
River and brought the armed thugs
and guards into that district and that
Mayor Kelley and the Baldwin guards
were working together hand In glove.
There are great many things the
Captain omitted from this edition
that would have been interesting
reading for the public. but then the
Captain is only one of King DiNon's
tools, and as. a tool he had to listen
to his masters voice and praise the
bosses other tools. Mayor Kelley and
all. If the reports are true that
comes to IFS from a seemingly relia-
BILE source. the officials of Fayette
county are practlclnS peonaSe- lne
Baldwin detective agency with their
brutal guards, maintained by the
coal barons of Fayette county to ter
roriZe the unarmed miners have been
guilty of some of the blacklist and
most cowardly crimes known TO
crimnality. The AL Deck case is one.
In this case for no other reason than
being union miner Al Deck was
beaten and mangled by these human
brutes and left for dead on the rail-
road track. The Bob Wick robbery
is another case and many other
crimes too numerous to mention are
directly traceable to the guards and
Sam Dixon is responsible for the
guard system in Fayette county, and
Sam RiXon:.s hires Captain Hood :.

SOCIALISTS OF OHIO COUNTY
PERFECT ORGANLZA 11ON

The largest and most interesting;
local meeting ever held in Ohio
county took place in Wheeling. De-
cember 18th. at the Trades Assem-
bly, Hall.
]. W. Brown, of Charleston. was
present and gave short talk on or.
Sanization.
Here, as everywhere else. the key
note of his speech was on efficiency.
We have reached the point, he said,
where we have got to prove our fit
ness to be, and we can only prove
our fitness to be through the perfec.
ton of our organization" .It were
better that our organization consist
of but ten men who stood for col
lective program than an organization
|cemposed of hundred men who
called themselves socialists and yet
were not big enough to swallow their
own little petty personalities" "Not,
he said that he would obliterate per-
|sonal ambition, but personal ambition
in the socialist movement is essen
tial treason. In fact. there is no trea-
son SO certain as trying to make n
great movement dependent upon ones
self. A dependent political move
ment is twice cursed. 1t betrays it
self as well as every man who places
his confidence in it. Individually
speaking. man is an aggregation of
atoms. In the socialist movem ent
he ibeeomes an atom of an aEgre ga
ton. 1t is the expression of the col
Elective will that must dominate the
party.
AT the conclusion of his speech
Comrade Brown recommended the
election of a committee on organiza-
ton whose soul duty would be to car
ry on the organization work. The
suggestion was Immediately taken
up and acted upon. Comrades Peters
McDermit and Bauer were elected on
the committee.

With the coming of New Years
Day the year of 1912 will be ushered
in. Comrades, what visions that
brings to mind. 1912 is destined to
become the most memorable year in
all history. We have talked about
and thought of. and dreamed of the
coming of this year. Now it is here
and we can joyfully greet each 9th er
with a heart felt Happy New Year -
OF all persons we have the most rea-
son to feel happy. This year means
more to us than to any class of per-
sons. 1t brings US joy and inspira-
tion to sustain us in the coming con-
flict. We are happy because this is
the year of great national election.
All national elections are important.
but the election of 1912 far surpasses
all others in the issues involved. |.
There are many things to make us
happy at this time. but one thin 2
that sends the blood tinglinE through
our veins is the political struggle
that is now upon us.
This struggle means more than
any political struggle that has ever
taken place in the past For the
first time in American politics the
class struggle will be of paramount
Importance. The nation has awak-
ened from the hypnotic sleep induced
by blind party fealty. The masses
can no longer be led blindly to
slaughter. They have lost much OF
party ido1atry- The oily tongues of
demagoSues like Roosevelt and
Bryan can no longer induce the toll
ers to betray their country, their fam
lilies and their comrades. Roosevelt
