Wilson, of course, is no worse and
no better than Taft. They both repre-

doctrine that the dollar is more sacred

They both stand for a system of

out of their homes at daybreak to

both represent parties which uphold a

was appointed with unlimited powers.
The consequence Of this suspension of
the Constitution W9s that the press,
as a result of the obligation to deposit
guarantee of 1000 to 5000 crowns
and the introduction of preventive
censure, became more censured than
in Russia, the right Of holding meet
ings was suspended and impracticable,
and political activity was completely
paralysed.
In spite of the absolutist DEGREES,
the Croatian proletariat took advant-
age of the fight to strike and that of
meeting on May LIST. The Central
Committee of the party knew that this
situation would last sometime and that
a slackening in the public agitation
would have very grave consequences.
In order to react and to prevent the
labor movement from -slackening, they

For the past three weeks this coun-
try has listened to the talking and
planning of the two great capitalist
parties that pretend to provide for the
welfare of the people.
In Chicago and in Baltimore men
supposed to know what the country
needs, met and fought and intrigued
and "dickered." They wrote their
platforms and announced what they
consider the great evils.
The Republicans nominated Fatty
Taft with the judicial mind and the
Democrats nominated Woodrow Will
son, who is hailed as man Of the
Cleveland Type" and from now on
the capitalist newspapers and old
party politicians will play their foxy
game of dividing the people into two
political camps. Paid orators will
again engineer a sham battle between
the Democratic, party and the Republl-
can party, and, no matter which wins,
the capitalist class will frolic four
more years in clover.
A word to you who are wearing the
old party colors, but who are going to
vote for wilson this year because he
is so-called progressive. We hope
before you cast your ballot for Wood

disgraceful repression that has accom-
panied the late strikes in New Jersey,
nor will you forget the fact that as

there were strikes in progress, kept

cruel oppression to bear on all the

No Humbug Needed
lRy John P. AItaeId.l

10y JolH =. AIt9Slo.l
No man ever added a cubit to his
stature by his dress.
No robe ever enlarged mans brain,
ripened his wisdom, cleared his jldg-
ment> strengthened his purpose. or for
tilted his honesty.
If he is a little man without a robe,
he is contemplate in a robe.
I Ii a man is large without a robe,
he is simply ludicrous gin one.
A fobe used as an insignia of office
is a relic of .barbarism, relic of the
age wien tinsel, glitter and flummery
were thought to be necessary to over
awe the common people.
And the robe can now perform no
other function than that of humbug
ging the people.
A court watch is worthy of the name
needs no such flimsy and ridiculous
assistance in order to command the
confidence and respect Of the commun-
ity, and court which cannot COM
mand the respect and confidence of
the people without resorting to shams
of this kind, is incapable of doing any
good, is incapable of protecting the
weak from being trampled. down by
the strong, and should be wiped out
of existence.
This age and the American people
do not want medieval shams. They
want light; daylight, electric light,
sunlight They want realities; they
want character; they want learning;
they want good judgment they. want
independence, and they want these
free from both barbaric and 1aristo-
cratic subterfuges. 1t is only weak
minds that lean upon this kind of boil
steering.
Our age is superior to the middle
ages only in so far as it has progress
ed beyond sham and formasism, lofty
pomp and hollow and dull dignity, and
asks now to be shown things just as
they are.
A free people is OPPOSED to pretence,
and humbug, no matter whether
found i'll high stations or low.
If the American people ever reach
point where they must put robes
upon their judges or any other officers
in order 20 have the highest respect
for them, then republican institutions
will be at an end in this country; ,fo7
men who can be inspired by a gown
are but little removed from those who
can draw inspiration from wooden
god, and neither are fit either to enjoy
or to defend trde political liberty.
The strong, masculine and liberty
loving element of the bar does not
favor these landmarks of fraud in
temple of justice. 1t is the fawning
and the hanging-on element which
flatters and seeks rear door entrance
to the judge, that favors them.
Instead of adding dignity to court
it exposes its weakness, for every
time a judge puts on a gown he con-
fesses that he needs this extraneous
help; he confesses that he must resort
to humbug in order ito make an i'm
preston.
In thep asst, gowns have not pre-
vented judicial murders, nor wrongs
and outrages whose infamy reaches
as low as hell.
So long as we tolerate in this coHn-
try any tribunals that find it necessary
to wear this insignia of medieval con-
ditions, just so long must we confess
hat we have reached a high state OF
neither moral nor intellectual develop
ment.
