LEARNING IN SCHOOL.

In every branch of learning there
is a constant struggle between old
methods and new which results In
Improvement II this were not true,
the world would be no farther along
in progress today than in the begin
ming.
In the line of scientific business
the struggle has always been to prove
that there is better way to learn
than by personal experience alone
Not many years ago 1t was thought
that the only way for boy to learn
business was to go into a business
house as an apprentice and work up
to where, in 10 or Is years, perhaps.
he could get real money In exchange
for his labor.
Today, after common school,
high school and business college
training, he starts in at $40 or $50 a
month.
He has found better way than
by experience alone. That way is to
go to school, where he can learn In
advance through the experience OF
others.
A school Is an organization for the
prevention of suffering, place
where boys and girls learn how to
use their heads to save their arms
and legs-where they learn to attain
y hat they desire without the awful
eruelling to which ignorance always
subjects the inexperienced.
Many men and women can only
learn through suffering. 1t is the
function of history to teach to the
present the errors of the past, and cl
arithmetic to show to a certainty the
| possibilities of untried plans.
Schooling is the proper foundation
for an experience free from costly
blunders; and especially is this true
of business, where the unweaned re.
peat again and again the same old
| foolish mistakes.

PRIZE FIGHTING
DOOMED ON COAST?

Los Angeles, July 12.-Even the best
friends of prize fighting say that the
game Is doomed in this state, one OF
the few remaining stamping grounds
of the once manly art of selfdefense.
To. be sure, prize fighting was abolish
ed by the last Legislature, but box
ing matches of limited number of
rounds not to exceed twenty" were
permitted. Now these are to be wiped
out by the next legislature. Candf-

THE CHURCH
AND
THE PEOPLE

A man signing himself Robert A.
Brakeman, writes to the Letter Box
department of the Boston Commou- a
letter of which the following is part.
1.-THE men and religion movement is
in itself a frank confession that the
church has failed in her legitimate
function of spiritualizing the social
relationships. Will the CD lrch be
short-sighted enough to fail now to
include among her serious tasks an.
inquiry into the spiritual significance
of Socialism,"
That is brave challenge and it is
richly merited. Further he takes up
that sleek fox, Sickle, and says:
II do not know whether Mr.. Stelzle
has been correctly reported or not, but
L do know a little about his attitude
toward Socialism. want to express
my appreciation Of the real work he
il doing. But L wonder if he has the
right end of things in regard to the
church and Socialism. He is quoted
as saying, in the Men and Religion
meetings, the Industrial world is on
the edge of the crater of volcano,
and will spit fire and blood unless the
conditions are remedied. The only way
to knock out Socialism is to knock out
the conditions that make it, And
again: The church must recognize the
right of every man to become So
cialist and admit that he can be a
Socialist and christian, too" 1t is
fair for Mr.. Stelzle to assume that the
church wants to knock out Social
ism?"
1t may not be fair, but it is just be-
cause of Stelzles in the church that
it has warmed up to capitalism and
forsaken its first moorings. As long

FREEDOM
(By Eugene v. Debs)

~F men and women enjoyed eco
I'll nomic freedom, if they had equal
~ opportunities, this woud be a diff
ferent world it would be Veritable
paradise.
There is many poet in the coal
mines, and many an artist is doing
hard labor because he has not had
fair start in life. The difference
between men is not natural one.
It is due to the. fact that few people
have monopolized the earth and the
fuilness thereof. 1t is due to the
fact that people have been denied
their best rights and the opportunl-
ty to develop their higher faculties
It is only the poor that are pun
ished for wrongs which their rlcn
brethren escape The great Grim
inals go scot free, but the poor and
unfortunate. those who constitute the
submerged tenth, theyare entitled TO
no consideration when they are out
of work.
What avails it If a man be q POI
fitical freeman and an industrial serf,
enslaved by its material wants and
by his economic necessities? He Is
compelled to work for the wages OF
fered him BY his master. He has the
alternative Of starving or accepting
the wages offered him.
He has the choice between slavery
and starvation. and there are many
who prefer slavery to starvation

Some months ago the ASS wrote an
article on the above subject but it read
so drastic like" that he never tried
to put it over. Having recently read
the fine article on big Business and
the Bench" by c. P. Connolly, in
Everybody's Magazine, (by all means
don't miss this) the ASS now has cour-
age to present for print what he form
erly wrote. In fact he has come to the
conclusion that neither ASS language
or human language is adequate to
overdraw the real situation.
"A NEW STUDENT IN ECONOMICS"
The other day the ASS was stopped
on the street and Intercepted thusly:
Il want to have little talk with you
am very much interested in this La
Dor problem, and want to get some
books to read on the subject. OF
course l don't want my friends to
know this, but really want to study
up on the proposition"
This man was a lawyer, not one OF
the highly paid Corporation variety .
but just little "dinky" lawyer who
has tried to make a living by his
wits" instead of doing honest work.
Not having many wits" he has not
been able to prove his usefulness to
the master class and has eked out an
existance as a small fry pettifogger.
He might have done better as an or
binary wage earner-for even among
these small fry lawyers competition is
fierce and many of the little fellows
know what it is to eat liver.
Now l have about as much love for
a lawyer as have for polecat they
are both all right till they get to do
ing business.
In every case that comes up one
side is bound to be Wrong-and ire
quently nowadays BOTH sides are
wrong, but lawyer" will tight as
| right-it is part of his training-he
does what he is PAID TO DO, regard
less of such trivial things as honesty
ethics, or JUSTICE. If his client is
guilty he tells him to plead mo-
| Guilty" and then he squirms ane
twists and shcemes and prevaricates
to prove a man not guilty when he
absolutely KNOWS that he IS
GUILTY. After few years OF this
sort of business" he usually becomes
lost to all sense of ethical discrimina
1 tion-liek man who lives near glue
factory and loses his sense OF smell.
There may be occasionally lawyer
here and there who will accept only
the cases where he is convinced thai
his client is right, but they are very
scarce-about as scarce as hens
teeth. The average lawyer takes
every case that comes to him-ane
takes everything else he can get hl'
hands on-and keep outside .th'
I.clutches of the other lawyers. From
the standpoint of exhalted manhood
he registers about zero-for all thai
the ASS has something to say in his
behalf.

some pretty severe things about the
LAWYERS. But there is nothing to bt
gained by blaming them, though L

Iture and training. AS men they are

not appear. The reason may be that
one of the duties Of this trained
worker will be to find a cause less
likely to reflect on existing condi-
tons. But if he should do this and
even If he should succeed in restor-
ing the man and girl to self-respect
and self-help, what will he have ac-
complished? They will simply be re-
stored to where they may again en-
gage in a scramble for jobs and
where by getting work they will sure
ly be the means of crowding others
out. Thus vice and crime cause a
welfare forker to formulate a plan.
Formulating a plan leads him to car
rying it out. Carrying it out restores
a man and girl to self-help. Self-help
means getting jobs. Getting Jobs
crowds into the unemployed ranks
others who would otherwise have had
these jobs. The man crowded out
taeks to the road and becomes a
hobo and afterwards thief The dis
placed girl resorts to the easiest
way" Vice and crime cause another
call for the welfare worker. The
vicious circle again. Such is charity.
The Associated Charities says that
it cost the City of Cincinnati $685.
OASIS to care for the destitute and
criminals in 1911. The cost to pri-
vate charity it says was probably
much more. Suppose it was twice as
much more so that the total expend-
lures by every one to take care of
crime and restitution amounted to
$4,OO0,OOO or even $5,000,00O? What is
that sum compared with the amount
of which wealth producers of Gin
cinnati were robbed during 1911
through the Ubiquitous laws which
these charity dolers uphold? Figure
the amount of Cincinnati ground
rents, or taxes levied on labor and its
products. of dividends on the watered
stock Of traction, telephone, gas and
electric light interests, Of unreason-
able charges extorted by railroad, tel
egraph and express monopolies, and
the exorbitant charges of tariff pro-
tected trusts. You will wonder then
how the charity job could possibly
be done so cheap.
The Associated Charities complains
that It has been supported by less
than half Of one per cent Of the cit
liens Of Cincinnati. That is less than
1000 persons. That seems about all
who ought to support II. The number
of beneficiaries Of legaIized robbery
in Cincinnati is probably no more
than that.
There is a chance remark about
sunearned increment" in the charity
circular. This led to comment by
a successful Cincinnati business man
who has not been spoiled by either
business or success. It follows:
"Unearned incrementI They use
the word fiippantIy az If Il were a
