LOOSENTNG THEIR CHAINS

The poems in Mexico are being freed
from bondage as were the negroes of
the south and the white serfs. A
law is in vogue in Mexico that com
pels all employers to pay their Ia
borers once a week. This is a great
hardship on the employers because
they rarely paid the poems any wages
before, A new law has also wiped
out the indebtedness of the poems to
the masters and this is a consider
able hardship on the bosses, as it
used to keep the peon busy working
for the boss in order to pay his debts,
which usually got bigger the longer
he worked. 1t keeps the free Amer
lean on this side of the boundry line

VIBRATIONS IN THE ANTI
SOCIALIST ETHER
BY Joshua Wanhope

1t is very remarkable at this juno
ture how many good men on the anti
Socialist platform are temporarily
falling by the wayside, from which,
no doubt, they will rise with renewed
strength to again grapple with the
Socialist monster.
Urbansky, whose alleged sexual es-
capades last summer we briefly no.

business as usual" on the streets,
and denounces Socialism and free
love" with more than his wonted Wig
or.
Then Rev. Newell Dwight Hills gets
in bad over some rotten financial
matters and confesses his manifold
sins to his congregation, while law
suit impends over his sacred head.
Nevertheless, he has certain hopes of
a joyful-and rofitable-resurrecti
when next he attempts the demoli-
ton of the Socialist fallacy in his
role of lecturer and writer.
And our old friend, Rev. ], Wesley
Hill, has also come temporary crop
per over a little rencontre with the
female of the species" j. Yves,
whose long suit was the denunciation
of Socialism for it's alleged loose sex
ual morality and it's tendency to break
up the home, is now being sued for
damages by a Chicago lady, who de-
ciares she believed him to be single
man-and-- Well, the rest can be
imagined.
If the charges are true, it was
doubtless in moment of temporary
alteration that j. Wes permitted him
self to be swerved from the strict
paths of virtue, notwithstanding the
fact that he had a perfect code OF
morals for such emergencies. AS he
used to say when denouncing Nor
monism and Socialism, when a mar
ried man finds a woman whose men

But-the best of us may now and
then stumble and the good man at
times goes wrong Vibrations, the
devil and the woman constitute a diff
ficult combination to overcome.
Let no over-optimistic Socialist
imagine, however, that all this means
his withdrawal from the anti-Socialist
platform, even temporarily. Perish
the thought! j. Yves. can easily rise
to the level of Urbansky, and, like
that champion of purity, is merely
improving his qualifications for the

as it were, so that he can hereafter

knowledge of those vibrations which
threaten to shake the fabric of So

A discontinued, burdened people
grumbled threateningly, presaging
trouble as the storm-clouds and thun

In answer, the Powers that were

it couldn't be helped. A blind world
sought surcease and balm at the
hands of Democracy, ignoring and
sneering the Socialists to scorn and
insult SO we planned that our job
would hold, at least, to the extent Of
half-time. Hard times had come be-

an overnight notice we found our
selves out in the world, shoulder to
shoulder, with the wandering, idle
hordes, hungry and homeless.
That was ten long months ago.
Since then we'd been from Canada's
