ana for the exploitation OF the people
Of other countries who till the soil
and grow foodstuffs and use manu-
featured products.
The people in the big countries OF
Europe-the manufacturing and ex-
porting countries are taxed to main
tain enormous standing armies and
big navies, whose real purpose is to
protect commerce on the seas and
further the plans of trade advance
ment by the rival countries.
Standing armies not only answer
this purpose of business, but they
serve also to keep the workers Of
these countries in subiection-much
like our American militia is used in
Michigan, Colorado, West Virginia
and other states to hold the Ameri-
can workers in slavery and prevent
them from getting their fair share of
what they produce.
Business has embroiled all Europe
in war and established. he'll on earth,
and while the United States is neu-
trail politically and automatically Big
Business here has declared business
war on the exporting nations who
are at war.
The bone the war dogs of Europe
are fighting over is BUSINESS, and
the Uncle Sam dog is getting ready
to grab the bone and run off with it.
After the European dogs settle their
fight they will begin looking around
for that bone again-and seeking
provocation for war on the dog that
grabbed it.
If Business is War and War is Hell,
then Business must be Hell, too.
The American housewife is just
finding out how patriotic American
business men are. They are feeling
it in the pocketbook, because the hui
man hyenas of Business are taking
advantage of the European war to
rob the folks here at home.

The Hearst System. - Hearst's
Chicago American prints one of Bris-
bane's editorials with the following
headlines on it:
See the War Pictures in Your
Own Brain. A Few Words of Actual
News Will Enable You to Create for
Yourself the Scene of Battle and All
the Details"
Hearst gave away his news sys-
tenn in that headline. The people will
now understand how Hearst gets his
alleged news of battles in Europe. If
this system is used he gets ''few
words of actual news" and then has
some reporter with a trusty type
writer create for himself "the scene
of the battle and all the details"
But that doesn't stop him from put
ting Berlin, London, Paris or Brus-
sells date line on it to give readers
the impression that the story came
by cable.
Harper's Weekly recently told the
story of how conscientious reporter
representing Hearst newspapers : at
the Mexican mediation at Niagara re-
signed because fake news was writ
ten in the Hearst Office at New York
and printed under a Niagara date
line.
When l read alleged news in a
Hearst paper hereafter l will have
some idea of where it was written.
Business Is He'll, Too.-Back of the
kings are the Captains of Industry
and Big Business, and inseparably
connected with these are the money
lenders, the cent-per-centers- COM
monty known as bankers.
The bankers encourage the people
to save their money and put it in the
banks, and then the bankers lend it
to Big Business to exploit the people
with the peoples own money.

AS matter of fact, the secret Of

strength-say a tablespoonful TO each
cup. The true test OF coffee making
is not after dinner coffee, but the ma.

mention their perverted taste for the
bitterness impaired by chicory. The
