A Foul Conspiracy

appalling report has reached us
from Pittsburg, Pa, to the effect tina
a Wild attempt is being made by 4
clique of politicians 10 send one Fred
H.. Merrick, editor of the PcnnSyl-
vania Justice, a Socialist weekly, to
the insane asylum. They claim that
he is s because he has exposed
their graft. OF all the TRANCE things
this is really the StrIlgcSt ease that
ever came to our notice. We khOw
that the pages of history TEEN with
accounts of vicious persecution of
those who had the temcrity to tell
the truth. But evidently he history
is not complete in this aspect. as de-
spite the enlightenment of present
day civilization, certain vicious crea-
lures are reviewing the shocking
atrocities Of the middle ages.
Strange that nobody said that Edi-
tor Morrick was insane until he com-
meaccd to hurl a fusillade of damage
ing articles against the politicians.
When these crooks saw their graft
fading they proceeded TO silence the
lips Of this fearless exponent. Their
initial move was to have him cited
before a biased court for libelling a
Judge. Merrick happened to publish
some thiags that the judge did not
want the world TO know because just
then he had his candidacy
for reelection to the bench, and, of
course, exposure would initiate
against his success. One of the things
was 4 protest against discrimination.
The fact is that Judge Marshall

SOME DEFINITIONS.
BY John NJ. Work.

What is Socialism?
Somestimes when we speak of So
cialism we merely refer to the Social
list movement, or TO socialist senti-
ment. For example. when we say that
Socialism is growing.
Again, in using the word Socialism,
we mean the analysis which we So
c~ialistS make of the industrial sys-
TEN. For instance, when we speak
of scientific Socialism.
But, usually, when we use the word
Socialism, we mean the social or COL
lective system of industry which
we Socialists are attempting to in
troduce.
In the latter sense, Socialism
means the collective ownership and
control of those industries which are
now used by capitalists for the pur-
pose OF getting for themselves most
of the earnings of the working mass
es.
By capitalism, we mean the pres
ent capitalist or wage system of in
dustry, wherein the mills, mines, fac
tories, railroads, and mercantile ms
titutions, are owned by private capt.
talists who hire people to do the
work and pay them 4 fraction OF the
value OF their labor.
misunderstood when you speak of
capital most people think of money.
They have an idea that money is the
only capital there is.
OF course there is such a thing
as money capital.
But money capital is only 4 small
portion of the total capital.
Capital, as a rule, consists of prop
erty-of industries-of industries
that are used for the of MAX
ing more money, and of exploiting =
out of other people.
The words exploit and exploitation,
which are so frequently met with in
Socialist literature, are very often
not understood at all.
BY exploitation We mean his thing
OF n few capitalists getting nearly all
the earnings of the working masses
by owning the things which they have
to use, or which they have to have.

The entire legal struggle is Que TO
the fact that the Free Press protested
~vehemently, ii not always politely,
against the use of cop, cossack, and

as I've already said, and they are
lining up with the Socialist Party
Very fast. Realizing this the old

g-o-o-d men are up in the air.

HAS THE SMALL BUSINESS MAN
A CHASCE?

"Wouldn't you like to subscribe
for the Labor Argus" I asked a man
the other day. He sighed YEARLY,
and replied: 81 don't read anything"
Cant you read" 1 asked. :
Yes" he replied, Il can read,

teen hours a day." replied, and so
don't have time to read"
Eighteen hours wouldn't begin to

H. is a man with Il small business,
and is engaged in a frantic struggle
to keep going. But his struggles will
be in vain. Sooner or later the Big
Competitor will put him out of bust
ness. Not necessarily by any unfair
means, but because he can sell cheap
err and still make the same profit that
the small business man can.
In his ondeavor to keep going, this
small business man is doing three
mems work. He has reduced himself
to the level of the brute. He has no
intellectual life. He only lives 10

clothing and shelter. Like the brIye,
his sole object in life is to supply
the physical wants of himself and
brood.
tried to impress upon this mar
that there was a cause for his trou-
bles, and a cure; that there must be
a reason why he was working three
days in one, and still merely making
Il bare living, n that he should no:
be satisfied until he understood that
cause and cure. But he only shook
his head YEARLY. and said, Il don't
have time to read ANYTHING.'
Poor fellow! His life is harder
than that of the average day laborer
or clerk. whose ranks he will sooner
or later be forced to join.
The small business enterprise is
doomed. 1t is o~utgrown. Better

methods require more capital. Til,

JUDGE DAYS. ADDRESS.

In his first address from the bench.
Judge DAILY made It plainly under
stood that there Will be no trihing
with excise affairs during his term.
The judge has set a high standard for
his action in this regard and it looks
as If liquor dealers will fare no bet
ter under the new Judge than they
did under Judge Days predecessor.
Judge DAILY does well to make him
self plainly understood at the outset
OF his career on the bench in this
matter so that liquor dealers who at
tempt to trife with the court will do
so knowing full we'll what they may
expect. 1t is a matter Of gratiica-
ton to the people of Middlesex that
the new judge has taken this deter
mined stand and he will be upheld
in this particular by every law-abid-
ing citizen,
There is entirely too many drink
ing places in Middlesex, both in the
country districts and in the cities.
While Judge Days jurisdiction does
not extend to the three cities of
Perth Amboy, New Brunswick and
South AmbOy, he can accomplish a
great deal in the townships and Dor
oughs in the matter of suppressing
the more undesirable places and rails
ing the business to a high standard
everywhere. With him setting the
example at the county seat it ought
not to be hard for the cities to take
up the work and give the county a
thorough oyerhauling.
Judge DAILY has made an excellent
beginning in his judicial career and
there is reason to believe that his
term on the bench will be a most
successful one.
