Rev. Stephen Desha writing TO a
friend in the city states that the news
of the marriage of his son, which Gre
ated quite a furore at HARVARD. was
no surprise to the family. Mr.. Desha
states that his son wrote him of his
intentions and cordial consent was
given to the marriage. If the young
man kept the affairs from mis- fellows
at the University, that was his priv
ilege. Jack Desha received his Mas
ter's degree from Harvard this year
but is remaining in the East to con-
tinue his studies in the law.

If. so, you should be member OF

The Republican, Democratic and So
called Progressive parties are neither
honest nor sincere.

And each Of them is in fact run for
the benefit of the capitalist parasites,
big and little.
In each of hem public office is a
private snap. Men seek the office, in
stead of letting the Offices seek them.
These Office seekers constitute one
of tn most nauseating nuisances of the

that you regard all men as your

How are we going to decide the Is

various platforms. This reveals to
tie careful reader, that the Differ
ences between the platform OF the Re.

parties are simply differences IN the
tactics employed by carious capitalist
groups to make the working class be-
lieye that the owners of the industries
are really going to do something fol

tuating the ownership of the indus
tries in the hands of the big capital
lists. otherwise the workers would not

Iif your credulity is so highly develop

| ity to the workers as an evidence OF
sincerity on the part of these capital

sting for you, we snail now produce
some other good evidence to show you
which political party is your party.
Mr.. Workingman, you say your I'M

Does even al considerable minority

preach to US? Are your cities clean
morally in proportion to the number
of churches they contain? Do your
courts administer justice dmpartially
between man and man, between rich
and poor? Is It as easy for poor
man as for a rich one to get his
rights in your courts?
you nave great and powerful mil
| lionaires. How did they get their
money? Have they more influence
than the poor in your churches and
in your Congress, your legislatures
and courts? Do they, in dealing with
their employees, observe the moral
Flaw that the laborer is worthy OF his
hire?' Do they treat their hired la
borers as brothers? Do they put chill
dren to work who ought to be at
play or at school?"
do your churches protest when
J the militia is called out during a
Lstrike, or do they forget at such
times what Jesus said about the use
of the sword!
"After four centuries of preaching
and taching of your religion in your
country, has crime disappeared or
diminished, have you less use for
| jails. are fewer and fewer of your
people driven into warehouses, and
have suicides decreased? Is there a
larger proportion of crime among
those who profess the Christian, re
lligion?"
What answers would your mission
ary reutrn to. these questions? How
would you answer them?
l do not attack Christianity. The
foregoing questions are not intended
as criticism of the great moral code
underlying Christianity, but as crit
iicism of the men who preach but dc
