Foot Lift.-The automatic raising and lowering
foot levers at simple and effective. The
bottom be raised lowered with the greatest
ease. The weight of the bottom is nter-baanced
by powerful spring, the tension which be
changed by hand screw, and practically all the
effort necessary to raise lower the bottom due
to friction, which is reduced to a minimum by care
fully fitted bearings The leverage is powerful
that wide margin of power is provided all
probable requirements. In lowering the bottom it
is only necessary to start the foot lever when the
pillow goes into the ground full depth, and is auto
matically locked. In very hard ground the pillow can
be forced down by pressure the trip lever. In
raising the pillow the opposite foot lever is pushed
and after the bottom is slightly raised, the work is
raising the bottom When blowing in stony ground
in soil where roots other distractions may be
encountered with consequent risk of damaging the
bottom the foot lift levers may be set to allow the
bottom to float, and it will then ride the stones
other obstacles. This is done by adjusting set
screw to point that just prevents the pillow from
passing dead center when it is lowered. This rails
ing and lowering device is perfect in every way.

Hand and Foot Lft.-Al Diamond Gangs

sulky when the hand lift is furnished attach

TO TEACH A CHILD TO STEAL

Carefully lock away from him all
fruits and sweets. Allow him no money
for personal expenses. If you miss
anything, accuse him of having taken
it. If you send him out to make pur-
chases, count the change with sus-
picious care when he returns If he
has lost few pennies, accuse him of
having spent them for candy. If you
never buy candy for him, this will
teach him a means of supplying him
self, and probably your next accuse
tons will be true
Strike children and they will learn
to strike each other; scold them and
they will learn to quarrel; give them
drums and flags and uniforms and
toy guns and they desire to become
professional murderers. Open their
letters, listen to their conversations
with their young friends, pry into
their little secrets, invade their pri-
vate rooms without knocking, and you
make them meddlers and disagree

Socialism is Autocratic.

Col. Goethals, as the guest of
various societies in the East has
explained how the United States
government has conducted great
business enterprises on the Pa
mama Canal Zone, but that the
success of the experiment could
not be taken as an argument for
socialism, because the govern
ment of the Canal Zone was au-
tocratic and even military in it's
strictness. The Colonel thus as
sumes that socialism is not auto
cratic. Nothing could be further

for government the world has
ever seen.
A Socialist correspondent of
the Chronicle last week asserted
that I'VE have an Autocratic
government" This assertion is
absolutely without foundation,
and is on a par with all of the
biased, prejudiced and misinform-
ed contentious of our Socialist
friends. We will not allow such
unjust and untrue statements in
our columns without refutation,
and contradict, and controvert,
and show the absurdity of this
statement.
The constitution of the United
States is the admiration of the
world. The greatest statesmen
and students of political and So
cial economy the world over are
united in giving it praise. Glad
stone, the grand old man who is
recognized as the most unsel6sh
christian patriot and statesman
that ever lived, said our consti-
tuition is the most perfect instru-
ment ever devised for the gov
of men. 1t has stood
the test of time more than 100
years.
And this is the instrument
that Socialism, which has been
repudiated in the old world and
has intruded itself into this land
Of the free, says it wants to
smash into fragments; and they
want to try in its stead a propo-
sition proven by history and hu-
man experience to be a chimeri-
cal theorem of government.

world will not cut any figure in
the case.
The editor of The Voice of the
People should come to Grant
parish and try his hand at de
handing" that the court free ac-
cused parties without due trial.
If he was in the jurisdiction of
this district, we verify believe
Judge Blackman would land him
in Jail and teach him that the
courts of Louisiana cannot be in
terfered with and treated with
contempt and the parties go free
from punishment. In fact we
do not think he should be allow
ed to revile the courts within
State bounds. If there is no
present law to reach parties guilty
of melting sedition and encourag-
ing lawlessness and contempt of
the courts, the next session of
the legislature should see to it
that such a law is placed upon
the statute books of the State.
We feel satisfied that the true
voice of the people" of this
State would overwhelmingly en-
dorse such a law.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1914-04-11

from the truth. By its very ma
ture socialism contemplates a
most autocratic system of govern
ment, exacting the most impli-
cit obedience toits dictates. For
when the State begins to take
over the functions of private
business, it must concentrate in
to its own hands great power.
Socialists admit this. They de-
clare that capitalism is tyranni-
cal and employers are despots,
and therefore must be swel t
away, but in their place they
would substitute the tyranny of
the State. Those who associate
socialism with democracy and re-
gard it as but a logical develop
ment of democracy will have to
revise their opinions. If they
doubt this let them look in Ger
many. The government of the
Kaiser approximates more nearly
to the ideal socialistic state than
al y other. Your American Sc
cialists point to Germany as the
socialistic government par excel
lence. Yet Germany is anything
but Democratic. st. Paul Dis

Skull Crushed by a Limb.

Mr.. w. ]. Crayon, of the Big Pine
woods crew, was terribly hurt last
Tuesday by falling tree. His skull
was crushed by broken limb, and his
felt hat was showed into his head so
deep that it took Drs. E. B. Gray and
j. c. Chapman some time and hard work
to pull it out of the skull. He was
afterward taken to the Alexandria
sanitarium, where considerable piece
of his skull and remnant of his hat
was removed from the inner sack of
his brain. The patient has fine nerve,
was resting well at last accounts. and
bids fair to recover.

'sThe Voice of the People. 4"

The above high sounding
phrase is the title of a publica-
ton printed weekly in New Or
leans by the National Industrial
Union of Forest and Lumber
Workers. A large number Of
copies of the issue of April 9 has
been sent to the Colfax postofiice,
and we suppose to other post
Offices in Grant parish. 1t con-
.tains page or two devoted to
'intemperate abuse of the court
and court officers of Grant parish,
because of the arrest and i'm
prisonment of four men charged
with capital offenses. The evil
dent intention of the publication
is to intimidate the court and its
officers, and the juries of Grant
parish in the discharge of their
duty in the investigation of crime
and the trial of cases in which
indictments have been returned
by the grand jury. Among other
seditious expressions the paper
calls upon the /. w. w. rebels to
watch the Colfax court house,
and to demand the freedom of
these four boys in jail"
That is silly Incorporate rot.
If the district attorney after a
fair trial fails to prove the guilt
of these men they will be turned
loose, and every honest citizen
in Grant parish viii be glad to
see them get their freedom. If,
.on the contrary, they are proven
guilty of a cowardly attempt to

Our Union the Worlds Admiration.


The "autocracy" of Socialism
is argued by the St. Paul min. J
Dispatch, with good and fair
grounds of reason. We print its
article entitled, Socialism is
Autocratic," in another column.
"Autocracy" is defined as alb
solute uncontrolled authority a
sovereign which rules without
restriction. In the United States
we have government by repre-
sentation. 1t is a constitutional
government, and not an autocra-
cy. No branch of our govern
ment, whether administrative,
legislative or judiciary, is with
out checks and safeguards, which
are held within the power of the
people; and the people, acting
within the sacred bounds of the
constitution, can always over
turn and revolutionize any branch
of the government by legal
means, without violence or con-
fusion. We have the most just
and evenly balanced machinery
