EAST-A peculiar. and what came
very near being fatal accident, oc-
curr.u at the residence of OvilIe Nell
son, Tuesday afternoon, where an
artesian well is being bored by ma
chine belonging to Mr. Rideout IN
the course of the work drill was
broken, necessitating a start in q
new place. A charge of dynamite was
placed and discharged, after which
Joe Meservey, who is in charge of the
machine, descended into the vel.
The artesian well is being bored from
the bottom of an old well which is
about 80 feet deep. As Meservey
reached the bottom of the well ne be-
came aware of the fact that he was
being overpowered by gaseous fumes.
and called for help Mr.. Nelson went
to his aid, and found Meservey under
water cat the bottom of the well. Mr..
Nelson grasped the unconscious man
by the hair and lifted his head above
water when he too became over
powered By the fumes and called for
assistance. Mahlon Brann. secured
by a rope and taking another with
him, descended to the rescue of his

was himself overcome and had to be
hauled to the surface. A hurry call
had meanwhile been sent to Drs.
Hardy and Maybry of North Nassal-
bore, who came in their autos to the
scene. The work OF rescue had been
carried on as well as possible, and
Nelson and MeserveY had been hauled
UP until Nelson was about seven feet
from the top of the well, but in some
way his loot and leg had become
caught in the lad6er and progress was
nearly at a standstiil when DIR, Hardy
arrived. With more help the men
were removed from their dangerous
position. Mr. Nelson had been SO
near the top of the we'll that he had
felt the effects of the pGreG air, and
Mr. Mescryey owes his lie, no doubt,
10 the fact that he was raised FROM
the depths of the veil and held for
fer tho A. minutes before the final
resqeo. Mr.. Meser1eY was, black II
the face and the faintest thread of
pulse was visible. Stifnuiants were
given, and the usual remedies, and
all the men came out OF their ordeal
and were as well as could he expected,

HISTORY teaches US that an arm
ed people has always been
free people. There has never
been a palmer example of this than
the case of the Beers in South Africa.
Tyrants and usurpers, therefore,
have always taken care to disarm the
people. And the English did the same
thing in South Africa in subdulng
what was left of the 10000 peaceable
Dutch farmers little armed nation
that had learned how to shoot straight.
|. Whenever one nation or one class
comes under the yoke of another, the
conquered nation or conquered class
is always disarmed, and rendered non
combatant.
The founders of our nation well I'M
derstood and considered all this, and
therefore inserted the following clause
in the constitution of the United
States:
"a well regulated militia being nee
essary. to the securing of a free state,
the right of the people to keep and
bear arms shall not be infringed. =
Amendment II, Article II.
This clause was placed In the con-
stitution expressly for the purpose OF
giving the people an opportunity to
defend their freedom.\
In the debate upon this clause II
was insisted that such a right must
be reserfed for the people to guard
them eventually against usurpers IN
our country.
It goes without saying that the
founders of this republic never even
dreamed of such militia as ours IS
today-the arming Of fools and tops
to- hold in check the great mass o.
people for the benefit of a few money
bags.
In those days (178S-Ss) there was
no more a plutocracy than a prole
tariat in this country. Conditions
were then entirely different.

And yet, in accordance with prog
ress, our higher civilization, our high
er culture, ought to make us only SO
much the freer.
Our ruling class, indeed, knows bet
ter how to value the advantage OF
arms.
Not only are barracks erected i'll
the neighborhood of all the large
cities, not only is the militia limited
to a comparatively few regiments,
recruited from the better" class, in
stead of arming all the people, as in
Switzerland even in church and
school the middle class and their
children are taught to. hate and abhor
the so-caled Dangerous classes"
This is called teaching patriotism y
However, human nature is so CON
stituted that in the struggle for exist
ence-in the class struggle people
only respect what they fear. This
law holds just as good today as it did
thousand years ago..
The Swiss workingmen are respect
ed by the Swiss capitalist class be
cause they are combatants besides
having the ballot.
The American workingmen are de
spised and scorned, although, having
the ballot, because they are noI-com-

| Therefore, in the interest of peace
and harmony-in the interest Of peace
able progress-in the interest of the
future greatness of this nation-I want
to see the Swiss system or any other
orderly method of general arming Of
the people adopted.
If this is not done, I have grea'

scarcely any other folk in the world
Except probably the Chinese or Rus
sians) so completely disarmed, SO
totally without weapons, as the mass
Of the American workmen. .e
In Germany and France almost
every man is a soldier. almost every
man is thus at one time of his life an
armed man.
This imprints certain stamp on
the people.
To those who are afraid to trust the
people with firearms, the example OF
Switzerland proves most clearly that
general arming of people would by
no means result in a revolution.
In Switzerland every citizen is, a
soldier and owns his own weapon and
keeps it i'm his home The government,
teaches the people the use of arms
for reasons of state.
And although the Swiss working
men, are by no means better situated
materially than their American broth
ers, and although the Swiss bourgeoisl
sometimes carries on regular batting
against. labor agitators, we hear no
thing of revolution or dangerous in
surrections in Switzerland.
There is a great deal less rioting in
Switzerland than either in America or
in Russia, where the people are t., al:
ly disarmed. 3.
On the contrary, if the social cues
ton is settled in any country without
spilling drop of blood, that coun try
will be Switzerland.
There can be no question that the
general disarhing of our people has
contributed very considerably to their
enslavement.

Arabs and other half barbarous races
fear theirs.

Headquarters will be established, at
several points and Comrade Snyder
will endeavor to keep in touch with all
the locals in the entire south during
the six months as well as planning out
campaigns for speakers who live in

The working class were bunked
once before and committed the SUI

they got lower wages, soup-houses,
Coxey's armies, and millions of their
class couldn't earn any wages, large

Until the working class becomes
class conscious, until they see and
know the monumental hypocrisy, the
cunning an -ddeceit of the capitalist
class and their henchmen, the man

old-line politicians; until they know
that the Democratic and Republican
parties are merely two devices to milk
the same cow-labor; that they are
simply two different masks behind

Part .1.-cAPITALIsTic EDUCATE on

In a private conversation, America S
greatest living constructive educator
exclaimed in disgust: "Our whole
school system is so Internally rdt ten
that we had as well let it go on till
it breaks completely down"
In contrast to this, our most widely
circulated Socialist paper RECENTLY
answered query about the best exist
ing example of Socialism by declaring
that the public school was almost a
socialized institution that by removing
board graft in construction work and
making the school house social cen
ter, it would be "a perfectly social
lied institution" +
Question: Are Socialists outddne
for once in pure effective kicking?
If they are, it is because they have
not fully identified the system" be
hind education as the old familiar sys-
TEN behind capitalistic industry. Be
cause our school system is Socia1is
tic in form, Socialists are toe prone to
forget that Capital dominates it. The
following will prove our schools to be
capitalistic, class schools.
To begin with, the fountain head of
authority and domination in our public
school system is the great Eastern
University. These are endow ed
schools, endowed for a purpose just as
the two old political parties are en-
dowed with campaign funds for pur-
pose, the one to control the schools,
the other to control government. This
control of our schools is secured in
several ways.
First, capitalists heavily endow these
schools, which makes possible more
better equipment, larger schools, and
especially big pay for teachers. Big
salaries draw the big teachers, the au-
thorities, who in order to get the big
pay simply conform to the require
ments of teaching set by the Boards
and Presidents, who exact certain
teaching from them so as to get more
endowments. That is, the teachers
especially of subjects related to So
