 put into practice in the future. The statement of the rebei leader was of interest because of the im- pending attack on Gen. Refugio Ve. lasco's federal garrison at Torreon, which is looked on as the probabis scene of the next big military move ment in Mexico. Gen. ,Monclovia Her.

 To Gov. Wm. c. Mcdonald of New Mexico Gen. Villa reiterated his state

 T never will be president of Mex. ico," said Villa T never went to school a day in my life. My alphabet has been the sight and trigger of q rifle; my books have been the move ments of the enemy"
 The rebel leader thus referrei td his eighteen years as 8 bandit, when he was hunted in the mountains.
 Gen. Villa asked Gov. Mcdonald if there was any prospect of recognition of the rebels by the United States. We wish our friends in the United States would help us, because we are your friends" said Gen. Villa You have the greatest government on earth and your president is the best. We wish you to know the truth about us. We are not always execut- ing people. Indeed, Ne intend to ex- cute only traitors, or those who nave broken faith with us.

WHAT SOCIALISM is.
American Yearbook, Cyclopedia and
Atlas.

No word has been more abused and
misunderstood than the word Social
list. The Socialist is not an anarchist,
they are opposed in theory and prac-
tice. The Socialist does not propose
to destroy the family, abolish religion
or devide up property, nor does he
seek to carry out his ideas by riot and
bloodshed.
In single phrase, Socialism means
public ownership OF the means Of pro-
duction and working class control OF
the government, chance to work for
all who will, and to all workers the
full value Of their product.
The typical Socialist is a rather
quiet and thoughtful workingman, SER
enc in time OF trouble and self con
tanned in the day Of victory. He rea-
Lies that the world will move on very
well after he is dead, but remembers
that while he lives it is his business
to help the world move He considers
himself an ally OF eternal laws of ma
ture and is proud to do his little part
in the great cause.

SOME COMMENTS.

MIR. John D, Rockefeller, Jr, has
failed to display the proverbial shrewd.
ness of his father. TO have made con
cessions to public opinion would have
done much to allay opposition to priv.
ilege, especially among those who do
not discriminate between system and
its individual beneficiaries. His re-
tusal is a tactical error such as Bour-
bons always make, Insisting that his
legal power to Cypress be upheld, and
refusing all promises of leniency in
making use OF it, he has dealt preda-
tory privilege harder blow than any
agitator could have dealt.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., says he
stands for the inalienable right of
every citizen to work without inter
ference, whether he be a union man
or non-union man. All right Why
not establish what Mr.. Rockefeller
says he wants and see how he will like
it? Every citizen has the inalienable
right to work. For instance there are
unused mining lands in Southern Col
.orado, from the right to work on which
Colorado miners, union and non-union.
are now denied. Why allow this de-
NAL to continue? Much of this land
belongs to Mr.. Rockefeller and he
stands for the right to work. He
even says he is willing to sacrifice
millions to establish that right. IL he
means what he says, he will support a
movement to free Clorado's natural re-
sources from the grasp of monopoly.
He won't object on account of being a
monopolist himself, for is he not will
ing to sacrifice millions? But wheth.
er he means what he says or not, why
not go ahead and take his advice any
way?
Mr.. Bryan's proposal that the Colo
RADIO mining lands be confiscated by
the government in the name of the
people of the United States should be
adopted, then Mr.. Rockefeller's desire
would be at least partially fulfilled.
Somehow we suspect that His Pious-
ness does not mean just what he says
on this subject.

COMRADE OF BIRMINGHAM
WRITES ON ERRORS IN
WORKING GLASS LOGIC.

The most of the old people of today
and act as they have always done.
They do not stop to realize that our
wants and theirs are not In most cases
Identical There are so many people
who read but one line of literature,
making 1t hard to spring a new idea
on them without getting an answer
that TITS too anarchistic," "Won't
work" "Theres nothing wrong the
agitators cause all the trouble" etc.
What kind of a chance has the rising
generation OF today? A man with n
small capital has poor show. Fig
ures show that hundreds of these go
bankrupt every month. The worker
has to compete with his fellow worker.
At the present rate OF employment in
Il few years one-half of the workers
will be out of work all the time. WON
en- and children are displacing men
from the factories. There is, accord
ing to the latest figures, about 2,O00,-
600 tramps in this country. In 1860
there were none. The wealth OF the
nation has drifted into but few
hands About SO per cent of the peo-
pie do not own homes. If men 90 on
a strike for little better living the
militia is called out and the men are
dubbed back to their job. The strik-
ers lost in Michigan and at present
are having real war with gunner,
hired by capitalists, in Colorado
But when the Socialists say 1t Is the
system that causes this, the bone
heads" say that the system Is all
right; and the government will handle
things all right. They have real
bright future mapped out for us.
Some say that the ones who can't
vote yet will have to build their own
future at the ballot box, yet they kick
when you say you want to change the
system by voting the Socialist ticket.
A possible war with Mexico tickles
them It's nice to stay at home and
read the war news but to go there
and be shot at is an entirely different
thing.
After reading "War, What For?" /
prefer staying home and reading the
papers. There's a lot OF difference
between old muzzle-loading cannon
and modern breech loading guns, not
to mention airships and rapid-fire
guns. Three OF the most powerful
weapons used by the capitalists to
keep the workers in ignorance are the
schools, pulpit and the press. The
schools are of the most importance

army Of the unemployed, is obliged
by the rules Of the game Of business
to buy his raw material and labor
power as cheaply as he can, regard
less Of sentiment, morality or relig-
ion; for he will surely meet in the
open warfare Of capitalism a competi-
tor who is not hampered with such
little inconvenience as a conscience,
respect for human welfare, sentiment,
or effective religion. Business is hell,
and he goes into the hellish business
to win, and let the devil take the

Rockefeller, his conscience will
"acquit" him. And why not, if he
plays according to the brutal and
sordid rules OF the capitalist game?
So the lesson to be learned from
this whole dilemma is, that society
offers the wealth producer no hope of
economic security, health or happi-
ness so long as the capitalist system
lasts.
We insist then, that capitalism can
not be patched up and made respect
able or endurable. 1t must be over
thrown, abolished, root and branch,
and a sane and scientific system of
wealth production substituted, under
which commodities will be produced
for USE, not for PROFITS.
And this spells Socialism!

sends out a speech he claims to
have made on good roads. 1t that
entities him to another term, give
it to him.
The passage of the Alaskan rail-
road measure, costing $36,0OO,OOO,
defeats the good roads bill in cong
ress appropriating $25,OO0,00O to be
spent on roads in the various states.
Oldfeld voted for the Alaskan bill.
If you approve that vote, give him
another term.
Oldfeld votes to spend thirty-six
millions of dollars in Alaska, and
he has not secured dollar for
levees, ditching or drainage in the
Second district. If you are for that,
give him the fourth term.
Oldfeld has spent so much time
in Washington during his term of
office that he forgets the burdens
the people at home are carrying,
otherwise he\ would have opposed
the Alaskan bill and favored some
thing to help his own people,
Really, he is covering too much ter
ritory when he must reach cut to
the frozen country of Alaska to
help promoters develop that coun-
try with federal funds with which
to build railroad, If you endorse
this, vote for him.
Congressman Oldfeld spends his
vacations at Panama, and at var
ious pleasure resorts, instead of at
home, where he might keep in
touch with the people, If you en-
dorse that, vote for him.
Had it occurred to you that
Congressman Oldfeld has not visit
ed your community and mingled
with you people but once or twice
in six yearsY How, then, can he
know what the people want him to
do on matters directly concerning
themY Or perhaps he doesn't care,
In that case, do you think he de-
serves fourth termY If so, give
it to charlottesville Guard.

A Paragraph For Farmers

Raise corn to feed stock. Raise
pastures to save corn. Raise hay,
peas, etc, to 90 with corn to make
a balanced ration. Then get good
males and raise plenty of good grade
stock to eat it all, and if you have
any land or time to spare you might
put it in raising cotton as a surplus
and money crop. Do not plant cot
ton on land that will not make 1000
pounds to the acre in good season
It will not pay If the land wont
yield that much, 60 to work to build
up the soil. Put it to pasture,
clover, vetch, peas, ETC., and turn
under green crop or two before
you waste time trying it with cot
ton. The average yield of corn per
acre in Arkansas is about 16 BUSH
els, and the average of cotton is
about 500 pounds in the seed. At
this rate the average farmer with
forty acres of corn and cotton
would make about 8 bales of cot
ton and about $50 bushels of corn.
That is not enough for cultivating
forty acres. By keeping stock and
using plenty of manure he coLN
make the same amount on thirteen
acres, 5 in cotton and 5 in corn, and
have 81 acres for pasture, where the
stock would be daily enriching the
soil. A field put to clover and past
ured all summer and turned under
in the fall, will have to be poor land
if it does not make good crop the
year following. If clover is not
available use Bermuda or some
thing else for pasture.

Commissioner of Agriculture.
