poor mother told me while tears
streamed down her face that she saw
no relief only in death. Greed had her
in its grasp, as it has thousands of
others, and the sons are too cowardly
and hypOcritical to defend her and
break off the letters that bind her.

their love false when so many millions

Mother and daughter should be the
queens of the home, but the capitals
tic system under which we live has
driven her from home, the dearest
place on earth to a mother, and forced
her into work shops and factories.
Mothers Day What a farce, |
what an accusation it was against the
manhood of the country. Do we love
mother. If so let us make Mothers
Day every day. Let us erect a SYSTEM
and policy of business that will re-
marry mother to her home. Toe So
c~ialists stand solid for her, Let the
sociOlogist fall into line and everybody
that loves mother. We want to thank
the Pope at Rome for instructing his
people to get busy and give the PEOPLE
the same thing the socialists are try
ing to get. God bless the Pope and
the Catholic Church, and God help the
socialists in their e%ndeavors. Social
ism is becoming one of the wonders off
the world, and mother is going to soon
feel it's loving and tender touch. We
are really glad we had a Mothers
Day. Moses, Jesus and Carl Marx are
three of the worlds greatest revolu-
tionists and all we're Jews, and the
Jews are all turning socialist. There
is coming a great change in the atti-
tude of the church. The Catholic
church is powerful and her attitude
towards the toiling classes mean a
whole lot. Mothers be of good cheer,
a few more heartaches and tears, and
you'll be free and your children with
you. Socialism is gaining day by day.
Now a word to all denominations.
What do you stand for. Do you real
ly stand for anything calculated to
help a poor mother in this life? If you
do, then get busy and help her at the
ballot box. We are tired of treachery
aud infdelity and hypocritical preten-
sion. The socialists have no quarter
give and none to grant. We care
nothing about dress paraues and flow
