colors that through all the unknown
centuries. exposed to sun, wind and

ROOSEVELT'S LOUD YELL,

eve stand at Armageddon and we battle for the
Lord, was the closing note in Roosevelts confes-
sion Of fath.''
Freely translated, this means, We stand at Chi
cago, and battle for Theodore Roosevelt; but
the translation is less poetical than the original and
perhaps less pleasing to the Roosevelters on that
count.
The platform that followed the 'tconfession of
faith' might have been omitted, for it is nothing
more than echo of the Rooseveltian outcry Be-
ing that however, it follows that it must be re-
markable production and it is. It takes all polti-
at any time, and favors them all-good, bad or in
different-in undigested lump Let it but be
known that alleged reform has been advocated,
and that it presumably has votes behind it, and the
platform straightway echoes che Roosevelt demand
for it, All that is needed is that it has been labeled
Reform and it is adopted, sans logic sans the
possibility of carrying it into effect.
striking illustration of the last assertion is
found in the fact that Roosevelt and his platform
hold out crumbs of comfort and recognition to both
Single Takers and Socialists. ''Come unto me, all
we Single Takers, " he says in effect, land be filled
and at the time he adds, '*The same meal will
prove strengthening, We Socialists, unto you''
Now, if there is one thing beyond all others in
political economy that is undebatably true, it is
that the Single Tax theory and Socialism are, and
must remain, irreconciable They are as antipodal
day and night and if the theories of the one are
the embodiment Of truth, those Of the other must
be fundamentally erroneous. The veriest novice in
political economics knows that this is true; but
Roosevelt does not know it, and so he mixes the
oil Of one theory with the water of the other and
offers Rough Rider guaranty that they will be
lndlstlnguishable in the Progressive bottle It is
not strange that Roosevelt falls into so absurd and
childish error but it is strange that an entire con-
vention should indorse it with loud whoops and
yells Of qualification:

hell which has overtaken every rule by terror which
the world Nor is it necessary to consider
it's philosophy It has none. 1t is mere brute
ferocity. The tiger which springs the traveller
in the jungle has no philosophy-ony thirst for
blood. He cannot be reasoned with. He must be

Tender-hearted theorists have been too gentle
with the <Esocial theories of this and other bodies
of anarchists It might as well be understood first
as last that when gets to the point where his
allegiance to the great fundamental relations of
cety is matter of 'Fsocial theory he is already
lost man.
The difficulty with the anarchist the terrorist,
is not with his thores it is with his character So
cal action is not based on theory it is based
stinct. And instinct depends the kind of man
you are.
The American people will make short work of
this movement. There will be no Cancellation or
negotiation This continent, broad as it u.s. is too
narrow to contain the American social system and
the Industrial Workers of the World.
In this fight there will be no more earnest war
riors than the forces Of organized American labor
The conquests of organized labor have been won by
negotiation and discussion: They have been made
possible because of mutual good faith The creed
of lies and violence professed by the Industrial
Workers of the World would be as fatal to labor
unions to banks, factories, railroad and mercan-
tile establishments.
The strength of organized labor, as the anthra-
cite Strike and the cotton mill strike have abund-
antly proved is in the appeal to a just public
opinion. What would become Of this strength if,
instead Of workers speaking to the nations judg-
ment and conscience, there only terrorists,
caring nothing for right and wrong?
This government began with appeal to the
worlds Of justice and pledge Of common
faith in the Declaration of Independence Ffty-six
men, representing thirteen weak colonies faced the
mightiest nation Of the earth, in their conf
dence in hgA Heaven and in each other, and
pledged, with firm reliance on the protection OF
Divine Providence their lives their fortunes and
their sacred honor to the of national indie
pendence. Such people, with such history, will
stand as a unit against those false prophets who
would, like the Industrial Workers of the World
abolish the meaning Of right and wrog, destroy the
very root of the conception of JUSTICE and leave the
poor and the oppressed helpless in world whose
sole rule brute strength whose sole government
was despotsm of force without pity, without con-
SCIENCE without law.

q
THE DIFFERENCE.
TN Republican thought the pc

TN Republican thought the people
- are for the benefit of the indus
tries. In Democratic though the in
dustries are for the benefit Of the
people. That's the difference.
In tariff revision Republican
thought is with the vested interests,
the specially privileged. Democratic
thought is with the consumers, the
taxpayers, the people.
According to the Republicans the
fact that the vested interests have
had is the argument for their con-
t1nu1ng to have. In Democratic
thought the fact that the people have
not had is the argument for letting
them have.
That is the difference-the vested
interests that are vested because Of
the special privileges for which the
people have paid, as against the peo-
pie who have had to pay those spe-
cial privileges. The Republicans are
for the protection Of the industries
the Democrats for the protection
of the people.
It's all as plain as a p1pestem-
and one side has become as odor-
Gus. 49,
1t is we'll to rem ember this simple
difference when the orators get to
talking Of 'the protection of Ameri-
can labor provided by that sacred
Republican institution, the tariff
protection that has paid steel and
wooden and cotton and harvester and
meat and other trust dividends, with
wages as they have been shown to
be in the mills Of those trusts. It is
we'll to remember this difference when
the campaign is hot and there comes
talk of closing down factories be-
cause some one enters the border
land of sacrilege with suggestion
to take the excess tax off the prices
the people pay, that they may get
those protected American goods at
the same price they are sold abroad
In competition with goods that do
not have a paternal governments

I. w. WIS. CREED OF LIES.

Here's manifesto issued by the Industrial
Workers Of the World, in explanation of the aims
and purposes Of the organization:
LAS revolutionary organization the Industrial
Workers of the World aims to use any and all tac-
tics that will get the results sought with the least
expenditure of time and energy. The tactics used
are determined solely by the power of the organiza-
ton to make good in their use. The question Of
'nght' and wrong" does not concern us.
mo terms made with an employer are final All
peace so long the wage system lasts, is but an
armed truce. At any favorable opportunity the
struggle is renewed.
The organization does not allow contracts with
the employers It aims where strikes are used to
paralyze all branches of the industry involved when
the employers can least afford cessation of work
during the busy season and when there are rush
orders to be filled.
Failing to force concessions from the employers
by the strike, work is resumed and Esabotage'' is
used to force the employers to concede the demands
Of the workers."
For the benefit Of law-respecting American citi-
zens unfamiliar with the slang of French Anarchists
it may be explained that Sabotage is wiful de-
structon Of the property Of employers
Summed up in word the program of the In
dustrial Workers is one of terrorism pure and
simple, with all regard for God and Heaven, gov
eminent on earth and conscience within the indi-
vldual breast thrown to the winds ~ ::
In considering such a movement there is no need
to pause over its history 1T makes not the slight
est difference where it came from: We know where
It is going to. II is headed straight for the red

TO THE BOY, OF TODAY.

0FTEN We wish that our interest
~ in the national events of our
own time had begun earlier. We hear
older men tell of the issues and the
outcome of political campaign which
have taken place in our lifetime, but
which we do not remember. The
value of remembering these things
would be the added standards by
which to judge men and measures to-
day.
So to the boy, and also to the girl,
of 1912 We suggest that they are liv-
Ing in very interesting time; that
We have come if not. to a crisis in the
national life, at least to an impor-
tant parting of the ways. The old
order is always changing, but at times
the changes seems to gather momen-
tum and mark an epoch in national
life and in history.
Watch the great political parties;
consider the things that they pro-
mise, and the things that they per-
form. In a very few years a little
Judgment will tell you what leaders
were in the right in 1912, and the
things you have learned from this
campaign will help your Judgment
later on. You will be learning what
is to be expected of men, learning to
weigh. the talk of clever men by their
records, learning how to take over
the government which you must
take over in your turn. g.. 49,.
# we had three wishes, one would
be. to be youth in this most inter-
esting time, with the prospect of liv-
ing through and being part Of the
history that will be made. This is
yours II you but look about you, if
you look for the meaning which an
derlies the campaigns of this year.

THE LANGUAGE OF THE HEART

The language best understood among men is that
OF the heart. He who is loved is the one who loves
The main thing to be desired is more heart-more
heart in our work, more heart in our play, more
heart in all our intercourse with the world around
There never can be too much heart. There is.
alas too little.
The tendency of the age is to make us hard
hearted. We live in whirl. We can find little
time for anything but material interests
Some are so keen money making that we will
fully shut our hearts to any emotion that might
stand in the way Of success in business -
Others are so hard pressed in the struggle for
existence that our whole energy is taken up in
the fight for bare livelihood The world is SO hard
to them that it makes them hard to ALL
The need Of these days is not greater opportuni-
ties for. commerce and trade SO much as larger
realzations Of the possibilities latent in the fellow
ship Of mankind. III
Believe in the heart! However, admirable is q
brilliant or capable mind, however enviable skilled
or art-touched hand, something still more good and
beautiful lies in true and generous heart. 5s< ii
