AND SECRET POLICE.
(By Ernest Untermann. J

a rev years ago the writer warned
the Socialists of this country that the
Mcnamara plot was scheme of the
secret police to wreck the labor I'M
ions and to implicate prominent So
cialists in acts of criminal violence.
Nevertheless some Socialists, who
aspired to leadership in the Socialist
party of California, and who took the
side of the defense in that case,
walked into the trap laid by the secret
agents of the capitalists Then the
trap which should have wrecked the
Socialist party of Los Angeles was
sprung right on the eve of the city
election, and the great leaders wrung
their hands in despair and protested
their utter inability to forsee such a
turn of the case.
Now one of those who were then
most vociferous on the side of the de-
Tense, one John Murray, issues a. little
periodical called THE ARMED CIT
zen" in which ne calls upon those
who own guns or want guns for self
defense to subscribe to a fund for this
purpose and to send their names and
addresses to HIM.
Socialists and labor unionists should
pay no attention to this sort of
scheme, unless it comes direct from
the Central Labor Councils or from
the national office of the Socialist
party.
What is the good of a labor organ
ization or of a Socialist party if not
that the majority, after mature delib-
Grafton and discussion, shall decide
upon the policy of the body in such
a startling case as this?
To send private names and ad-
dresses to a private paper means
nothing less than to furnish the secret
police with the means to rob the or
ganized workers of all means of self
defense at the most critical climax of
a SiSdI ldUOI SlIuSSlt.
This is a question which should be
handled by the whole organized labor
and Socialist movement, not by few
schemers. There is no doubt that
these organizations should supply
their members by cooperative effort
with the means of self-defense. But
the first condition for the success of
such a departure from the established
policies of these organizations is that
no private names and addresses should
be kept on file, so that no detectives
shall be able to gather secret evidence
and make up lists of prescription for
the benefit of the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' association.
Let the organizations of labor, openly
and with full insistence upon the con-
stitutional guarantees, give the whole
world to understand that in the future
we will not stand for any more out
RACES like those committed by law
less business thugs in West Virginia, in
Michigan, in Colorado, in California.
Let everybody know that we are going
to provide the means of self-defense
for our members, if the state and ma
tional governments do not protect us.
Handle this question so that there
shall not be one shred of evidence for
any secret police
Watch out for traps, and throttle
any private scheme that aims to take
such vital policy out of the hands of
the organization.

If you are so brave and true,
And love the flag as you say you do,
To Colorado you should hike
And help the workers get their right
In Mexico you have no right;
For that is but the rich mans fight
For war is hell-yes that is right;
So let the oil trust fother and fight

Thousands of people suffer from eye troubles because they do not know what to do. They know some good home remedy for every other minor aiiment. but none for their eye trou- bles. They neglect their eyes because the trouble is not sufficient to drive them to an eye specialist. who would, anyway, charge them heavy fee. As a last resort they go to an optici1n or to the five and ten-cent store. and oftentimes get glasses that they do not need, or which, after being used two or three months, do their eyes more injury than good. Here is a simple prescription that every one should use:
 grains Optona q tablet)
 ounces water
 Use three or four times a day to bathe the eyes. Tkis prescription and the simple Optona system keeps the eyes clean. sharpens the vision and quickly oyercomes the inflammation and irritation; weak, watery, over worked, tired eyes and other similar troubles are greatly benefited and oftentimes cured by it's use. Many re- ports show that wearers of glasses have discarded them after few weeks use It is good for the eyes and con- tains no ingredient which would in jure the most sensitive eyes of an in fant or the aged. Lee G Osgood OF any druggist can fill this prescription promptly Try it and know for once what real eye comfort is.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CLOSED DULL Opened Hopeful on Encouraging Views of Steel and Iron Trade.

New York, May 23-In it's essential features today's two hour session of the stock exchange differed only slightly from the preceding days of the week. Trading was a little more active in the first hour and sentiment was somewhat more hopeful based in part on the more encouraging views of high authorities in the steel and iron trade and on overnight develop ments In the Mexican situation
 These factors were again neutral ized however by further advtces from abroad which pointed more definitely to extreme financial tension in Paris and London. In fact the situation at Paris was referred to as calling for drastic action.
 On the local stock market some stocks, chiefly speciaIties, moved up- ward while some others of more spec ulative importance scarcely moved at dIl. United States, Steel, Union Paci- f1c. Canadian Pacific and Amalgama- ted Copper were notable exceptions. recording material advances; but the movement as a whole represented lit tie more than an exchange of profes- S1onal contracts. In the final dea1- ings a stronger undertone was mani fested in virtually all quarters of the list although the market again fell into condition of lassitude.
 Outflow of gold to Europe contin ued with another engagement of s., 900, 900 to Paris. There was also an. other transfer of currency to San Francisco, to which place the move ment has now attained large propor- tions. The bank statement showed an unexpectedly large actual con- traction of loans, a cash gain of $5,- 800 ,000 and reserve increase of more than s11,000,0 900.
 Bonds were steady with sales par value of $730.006.
