THE INSULT TO OUR FLAG
AND NATION.

1t is not generally known, but it is
matter OF fact that the Stars and
Stripes-the flag of our nation-was
fired upon when Linderfelt, the Butch
er and his hell-hounds turned loose
their machine guns and rifles upon the
unprotected tented city of Ludlow,
wiping it out of existence and killing
men, women and children-mostly the
latter.
The unionists had three American
flags flying to the breeze on that
bloody Monday.
But this made no difference to the
gunner who were wearing the states
uniforms.
Their deadly weapons tore the Stars
and Stripes from their masts, just as
if they had been so many rags.
They were burned Monday night,
when the torch of George Ellsworth,
jr., was applied to the canvas homes.
1t is a matter of general knowledge
were sent into the field, never raised
the American flag until they were in
Ludlow several months.
President Wilson and congress have
declared war on Mexico because
Huerta's men refused to salute Old
Glory!
What is he going to do when men
who have been termed "our represen
tative citizens" open fire on the flag
in Colorado-a territory that goes to
make up the great sisterhood OF
states?
We believe that it is imperative that
the federal troops should first clear
the nation of it's rebels, guerillas anc
outlaws, who wear the states uni
forms.

LITTLE PROTECTIONIST CA
LAMITY HOWLING.

During the depression of the COS
the plight of the unemployed was as
favorable a theme for exploitation by
the reactionary Republican press and
reactionary Republican congressman
as by the most radical of radicals. To
day things are different. Although eX-
ploitation of the unemployed during
Democratic administration would ap-
pear to be the natural thing for Re-
publican partisans, they seem strange
ly averse to doing SO. The attempts
of Congressman Mann and other back
numbers to resort to this method OF
propaganda have been generally
frowned upon or disapproved. The Re-
publican press is as eager as the re-
dictionary Democratic press to show
that there is work for all who want it,
and both are endeavoring to make be-
lieve that the unemployed don't want
to work Was ever so deliberate a re
lection of partisan advantage known
before?
The reason is the advance of eco
nomic knowledge since the COS. The
more cIear-headed reactionaries real
ize that unemployment is now recog
nized more generally than in the 9o's
as symptom of deep-seated socia
disease. They realize that to helF
along discussion of this question may
lead to action far more distastetul t.
predatory interests than reduction o
tariff rates. They know now that toy
ing with the questions of hard times
and unemployment is playing with fir
and is more likely to damage tn,
cause of Privilege than anything else
All this is distinct gain. The dis
cussion of existing evils and tn
means Of curing them can be NOR
easily carried on while these reactior
aries withhold their silly demagogi
comments on the situation.

VACANT LOTS AND VACANT
MINDS.

The appointing of a certain week rs
cleanup week" has become favor
lite device In many places to clean the
town of litter. In some places boy
scouts have been assigned to do this
disagreeable unpaid work. philadel
phia is one of the cities that has adopt
cd this method and comment made
thereon by Samuel Milllien in the
Philadelphia Record, will apply to the
other places that are just as slow. 1t
is as follows.
Philadelphia has appointed April 90
% for Cleanup Week" 1t will be
the task assigned to the Boy Scouts
to tackle vacant lots" to clear them
of rubbish, Why not ask the owners
their own dirty work? The Boy Scouts
may then see each to his own home.
in accordance with the counsel of
Holy Writ
The committee thinks many vacant
lots are "nusances, sore spots which
detract from the general appearance
toward the City Beautiful Judgment
affirmed, Generally speaking, the law
makes It unpleasant for those who
maintain nuisances; not so in Phila-
delphia The Quaker City encourages
negectful owners of vacant lots by
under-assessments and low taxes, and
then requests Boy Scouts to do dirty
work gratuitously for the spectators.
As n natural consequence the vacant
lot nuisance is ever with us; vacant
lots imply vacant stomachs and vacant
minds.
On January Is, 1858, the Dutch
burghers of New Amsterdam made
similar complaint against spectators
who Tin their Words were keeping
vacant 'many fine and large lots in
the best and most convenient parts of
the city preventing from
promoting our trade, and from beauti-
flying this place"
Did the Dutchmen send Boy Scouts
to do unpaid dirty work for specula-
tors? Verify, verify, l say unto you,
they did not; they put an extra tax
upon the neglectful owner of land 'un-
til it is built upon by him or others,
when this burden, for good reasons
laid upon unimproved lots. shall be
taken off"
That was 256 years ago, yet Phila-
delphia still taxes man more for
identifying the city than for uglifying
it; penalties beauty, and rewards ugli
ness. Slow Philadelphia, 256 years be-
hind the Dutchmen, God bless us all!
OF course we don't do such stupid
things in Everett. Oh, no, certainly
motif you don't mind lying.

ROCKEFELLER s HYPOCRISY

open to grave doubts is the ex-
pressed willingness of John d. Rock
efeller, Jr,, to lose all of his millions,
If thereby the right may be secured TO
American citizens to work when they
please and ON terms to suit them
selves. No man has that right who
must depend on the permission of
others for an opportunity to work. Mr.
Rockefeller holds that the labor or
CARNATIONS which he is fighting, in
sist on the power to give or withhold
such permission. Therefore he oppos-
es them But how much nearer to in
dustrial freedom win the worker be
without the labor organization~-other
things remaining as they are? VIII
he not still find opportunities to labor,
controlled by employers whose permits
sion he must obtain and whose terms
he must accept? Labor organizations
simply insist that laborers must de-
mand better terms than employers
might otherwise offer. Since they en-
deavor to secure better terms for la
Dor without removal of the cause that
makes the individual laborer helpless,
they are forced to resort to arbitrary,
tyrannical, and in many cases, I'M
reasonable, regulations and methods.
They are thus rendered subject to just
criticism on the part of those who
note their neglect to attack fundamen-
tai evils. But those who like Mr..
Rockefeller, uphold conditions that
shut labor off from natural opportu-
mites. can not consistently criticize
them.
AS long as Mr.. Rockefeller's corpo-
ration and similar corporations may
under Colorado law, withhold mining
lands from use regardless of the num-
Der of miners who want to use them,
so long viii it be impossible for Colo
radios miners to be industrially free
Without organization their condition
viii be worse than when organized
But If conditions would be so made
that neither Mr.. Rockefeller nor any
one else could profitably hold valuable
land out of use there would be
change. This change can be brought
about through taxation Of land values
to an extent sufficient to make I'M
profitable Withholding of valuable land
from use, or better yet, by confisca-
ton of all land by the government in
the name of the people of the United
States, the mines to be worked by the
people for the people. and the lands
to be utilized by the Department of
Agriculture for the welfare of the ma
ton, or apportioned to citizens desir-
ing to use the same for the production
of wealth, But no individual would
be permitted to hold any land out of
use.
