the District assessor. who was defended

Explains Views on Local Merger.

Following the regular sermon at the
Church of Our Father, Universalist, yes
terday, the pastor. Rev. John Van
Schaick, jr.. made the following state
ment relative to the so-called merger sit
uation in Washington:
Some weeks ago. in a discussion of the
proposed merger of the public utilities
corporations of the District of Columbia.
statements were made by me to which
directors of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company have taken exception.
They have felt that serious attack
was made upon their personal integrity.
| am sure that 1 need not say to this
congregation, who heard the sermon In
question, that no such attack was made.
The men on that board whom / happen to
know are Charles J. Bell. Milton f. Allies
and George Truesdell, and they are men
whom everybody in Washington recOg-
nizes as men of character and standing
in the community. With one of these
men particularly I have had friendship
reaching over many years. Nor do these
men feel that any of their associates on
the board of the Washington Railway
and Elec, rio Company deserve the scOurge
of public condemnation.

Farmers Are Weary.
: The farmers are getting weary Of
paying ten prices for farm imple-
ments and will be, quick to- assist in
such a movement, This will benefit
the farmer by supplying implements
| at low prices, and benefit labor by
| securing for it, higher. wages and
shorter hours. @... a. 81.
The thirteenth annual report of the
United States commissioner of labor
shows that the working men are
paid $27.19 for making good wagon

The implement trust, subsidiary
Of the steel trust, has been perfected
since this report was issued, and
prices are even higher than at that

Price of Buggies.
The same government report shows
that a good buggy with elliptic spring
and leather top, takes 40 hours la
Dor to produce and the wages paid
was $50, Allowing $500 for the
raw lumber and metals (Which is
generous amount), the, total cost is.
$500. The farmer paid just, $1,000
which left a neat little profit Of
$500 in the hands of the imple-
ment trust.
= Even today the farmers are orga-
nizing cooperative companies to rid
themselves of this preposterous graft
of the implement trust.
While the swashbuckling fellow

seem to be little disturbed, and less

Make Believe Enemies.
The trusts are not afraid of make
! believe enemies. But when a mil
lion or two farmers and wage-earners
get after them the trusts must sur
render.
I find many farmers in favor of
the government taking over all mon
opolies. When the government does
this the people will own the trusts,
and they figure that then the trusts
will be good and not before.
The trusts have always been good
for those who own them.

will find them good thing.

Nor can the importance of secur-
ing suffrage for women be overes-
timated.
All struggle of any consequence,
industrial and social, expresses itself
in political quantities. No class ever
rose except by political power. No
class can ever free itself and free
society by becoming the government.
And the fight for woman suffrage
is as much mans work as it is wom-
ans work. For man cannot be free
himself until woman shares that
freedom with him.. =

Shall Minnesota Make Farm Tools !?
BY GUY: WILLIAMS, M1NNEAPoLIs.

Several years ago the extortion Of
the binder-tWine trust was so great
that the government of the state of
Minnesota undertook thesmanufacture
of binder twine in the state prison al
Saltwater. The result has been such
success that the price of Irvine has
been cut to one-half the price al
which is was sold before.
Since, then threshing machines have
been added to the product of the
prison and recently a large addition
was made to the threshing machine
plant. 49,, n <. :G,;2
Many object to buying articles pro-
duced by prison labor. prefering to
encourage honest free labor. Right
here I want to say that if the state
government can give a poor devil a
job after he has done a hold-up
stunt and been sen. to prison for it.
the state government can just as well
furnish. him a job before, and help
him to remain on the square.
Driven Trust Out.
Most of the farm implements used
in the state are manufactured else

move to encourage home industry.
We have driven the binder Irvine
trust out Of; the state with prison la
Dor. We can make short work of
the implement trust with free labor
which has not got to- By driven all
the time.
The state of:*Minnesota owns large
ore beds, still uncorrelled by the steel
trust. I propose that the state de-
velop these iron mines and erect fur
races and steel mills for the reduc-
ton of ore and to manufacture farm
tools, to, be sold to the farmers at
cost.
Much Money. Wasted.
Five million dollars are, said to
have been spent by the. federal gov
eminent in fighting the trusts in the
courts. Think of it. Five million
dollars wasted in fighting the trusts,
in courts often owned by the trust
that is being fought And. that is
not all. Probably as much or more
has been spent for interstate COM
merce commission, commerce courts,
and other regulating outfits, not to
mention manifold expensive invest
igations' of armorplate frauds, sugar
frauds, etc., etc., perpetrated by diff
ferent trusts.
That money would build a mighty
fine steel mill and implement plant
but the people have nothing to show
for it.

RIGHTS OF HALF A NATION!
BY Joseph e. Cohen.

Suppose that some one were to
suggest that half the voters of this
nation should be disfranchised.
Might not such an act bring about a
civil was as terrible as that of 1861.
Yet as wild as such an idea is, it is
no wilder than the idea that the wom-
en- Of our country, or of any other
country, are to remain permanently
disfranchised.
For women are one half of this and
every other nation. And as true as it
is that no land can endure part slave
and part free, it is true that woman
must be given the title to every po-
litical and social right possessed by
man.
So long as woman's seat was at the
fireside such a question could not
erise. So long. as the circle of her
needs and wants centered in her own
home, such a problem could not pre-
sent itself. So long as woman was
only a silent partner in her husbands
concerns, woman remained on the
edge of the current of political and
social struggles.
But all this changed when the
throbbing of the gigantic machine
became the dynams of progress; it
all changed when the bleak, sinister
factory wall cast it's frightening
shadow over the family hearth. =
When woman became a factor in
industry, then she became a. factor
in political and social matters.
When certain trades came to be
Get apart as "woman's trades" then
woman became a. part of trade and
part Of industry. " -.
When there sprng up '.she towns"
where men are relatively as few as
ere women in the lumber and mining
camps and the "he towns" then
woman became an important item
in all industrial political and social
questions. @''>s1~
When the point was reached that
millions Of women in America must
regard wage-labor, instead of the
care Of the home and the rearing Of
a household, as their means Of sub
sistence, then woman became one
half of the social problem. :. r.
+ When the sex-cancer Of olden times
became the established institution of
our own day; when woman's very
soul was reduced to terms of barter
and price, then the position of WON.
an and child, even more than
man, became the aching heart of the
social problem. Gs,.
:; And when woman became bonded
to wage-labor for life, then: there
was born in her the knowledge that
