perity.
These facts, said the speaker, mere
ly prove that the owners of the ma
chinery of production, constituting
the government and debating the in
dustrial and financial system, could
no longer control their own system
and were unable to force it to operate
to produce profits and thereby keep
workers busy The system, he added,
had fulfilled its purpose and that the
time is at hand to supplant it with
one founded on sanity, not only in the
interest of the workers but for the
welfare of all humanity. That the de-
terioration of the wage-system of
wealth distribution was SO apparent,
and the necessity of recognizing So
ciety on socialistie basis also so evil
dent, that the proposal needed no
argument.
The Militia
Whether in an autocracy, limited
monarchy, or a republic, continuation
Of the capitalistic system, said the
speaker, depends for its preservation
upon some form Of militarism. In the
United States this was found in the
state militia organizations, he stated
adding that the only times it was nee
essary to preserve order was when
the workers wanted something
Referring to the war in Europe.
Debs declared it to be the outgrowth
of capitalism. Nations unable to con-
sumo their wealth products, he de-
clared, depend upon foreign markets
for disposition of the surplus. Ultim-
ateiy and inevitably, he said, the
struggle to control the foreign market
led to war between the competing ma
lions.
Debs said a law of the United States
makes every man between the ages
of Is and 45 years a soldier, adding
that this law had been surreptitiously
passed, without publicity at the time,
and that few residents Of the country
knew of it's existence.
War and Peace
Stating that on the day when the
people Of the United States joined in
prayer for the restoration of peace in
Europe 100000 rifle cartridges left
New York on ship for Europe Debs
said Prayers are cheap, but there
is profit in powder and munitions of
war" The statement was greeted
with cheers and jeers by the big audi
ence.
The only bona fide peace movement.
said Debs, is the socialist movement,
the church, The Hague tribunal, etc,
being failures, governmental protesta-
tions Of neutrality being pure hypo-
crisy. Only in the change that would
result in an exchange, without profit,
of the surplus products Of various ma
tions, could there be hope Of enduring

How Dollars Work While One Sleeps.
Any man who gets a dollar which
he didn't earn, who gets it by merely
owning capital and exploiting labor
thereby, while he sleeps, takes it
away from some one who earned it
while awake and didn't get It, The
robbery is disguised under the form
of wages paid-paid out of the work
er's own product.
Wages are not paid out of the
bosses capital, or from his stronghold.
AS a matter of fact, the worker is not
paid by the boss at all; he pays him
self with a portion of the product of
his own labor-power: all above his
wages that he produces he is not paid
for at all. The unpaid-for labor pow
er is used to produce wealth for the
boss free, hence, are called profits, or

he is going to get, the cost of his keep,

the rest of the day he works for moth

the $1.50, but the wage-slave has al

VAST AUDIENCE FILLS EVERETT
THEATRE TO HEAR DEBS
LARGE AUDIENCE rs
/. ADDRESSED BY DEBS;
SPEAKS OF WAR

IFrom the Everett Daily Herald)
Eugene V. Debs, thrice candidate
for president of the United States on
~ socialist ticket. addressed an audi.
erce that filled the Everett theatre
yesterday afternoon, to hear him.
Prefacing his address was brief
statement by Maynard Shipley that
the socialist movement was educa-
tional, and Debs offered nothing new.
Shipley declared the class struggle in
the United States has at this time
created more terrible warfare than
the conflict in Europe. having as a
difference only the form. Socialism,
he said, would set free not only the
bodies but the souls of men.
Human brotherhood, said Debs, has
ever been the dream of the philoso-
pher, the hope of the prophet, never
realized, but about to be through the
development of the socialist party.
Never, he said, had a people been
SELF governed and That government
is denial of freedom. The realiza-
ton of the lofty ideals of the social
lists, whereby would come division
of dollars according to socialist
ideals, would solve every human
problem.
Between dividends and wages. he
said, is an irreconcilable conflict;
that men grow rich because they pro
dnce nothing and others remain poor
because they produce everything. He
stated that 100000 workers are
idle in the united states now, and that

and idle textile mills in New England,

PRES. MURPHY
 0N S.P. SUIT
Facts by Head of Develop ment Company of Amer ica Regarding Cause of Action for Damages Be gun at Louisville

President F. NJ. Murphy of the De- velopment Company of America pre-
 sents to the Journal Miner a state mcnt of the suit of the company against the Southern Pacific. correct ing certain errors that had been made in reports of the action.
 Permit me to offer the following which I trust you will find agreeable to publish: In publishing an account of the suit brought by The Develop
 ment Company of America, against The Southern Pacific Company. a mistake was made in representing that it is claimed that Judge Lovctt directed the managers of the various mining companies of which The De- velopment Company of America was the hclding company, to draw upon The Development Company of Amer ica etc: that such drafts would le covered by The Southern Pacific Company" The drafts authorized were tc be paid by The Development Company of America from the pro- ceeds agreed to be furnished by The Southern Pacific Company. Judge Lovett's secretary had nothing to do with the Southern Pacific Company's refusal to keep the agreement enter cd into by and between The Devel- opment Company of America and The Southern Pacific Company-as a result of weeks of study on the par: of those representing The Southern Pacific Company. who had before them full data upon which they lascd their conclusions that the prop erty they were to acquire was worth in excess of s15.00O. .0O0-nor did he communicate to The Development Company of America. anything re- gardinG Judge Lovetts intention to break the agreement Judge Lovett was not absent from New York when the payment was to be made. He. and The Southern Pacific Company. vio- lated as clear an agreement as was ever entered into by corporations or individuals. as will he proven. A more dastardly. or more outrageous piece of business. could hardly have been con ceived. No justification can be found for what happened. not even a flimsy excuse. It would appear that cold blooded pre-conceived plan had been thought out having for its purpose the destruction of The Development Company of America, and the finan- cial ruin of many. All that The Southern Pacific Company had to do if it did not wish to buy control of the stock of The Development Com pany of America. was to allow the $500 O00 it had agreed to loan. to rest as a loan. fully secured, as per un. derstanding.

At the court house, Huunicut proved he was not the aggressor in the fight and was released.

FILE PROTEST AGAINST
 NEW SWITCHING CHARGE

A strenuous protest against the proposal of the railroads to abolish the joint rate on box material from northern Arizona mills to Los An geles was transmitted to the inter- state commerce commission several days ago, by the corporation com mission. The new arrangement, which would seriously affect lumber mills at Flagstaff and Williams. will take effect today unless the suspension re- quested is granted.
 The railroads by abolishing the joint rate would add a switching charge of s2.50 per car for every car moved to spurs not on the Santa Fe lines. It is estimated that over 300 cars of box material are shipped annually to southern California from the Arizona mills.

Especial to The Republican,

SACATON. July Preparations are being made for the fifth annual Pima Indian fair to be held here this fall The four Indian fairs held up to this time have unquestionably given splendid incentive to greater and improved agricultural activities
 All products of the Indians of this reservation are marketed locally. and therefore the agricultural success of the Indians is of direct and special value to the white neighbors The agency has therefore felt free to ask the co operation and assistance of the white people. which, in the past. has been most generously given.
 Superintendent Thackery says. We hope to make our next fair decided improvement over those of the past: and we win appreciate very much a prompt reply from you stating just what. if any. assistance you can give for the coming fair"
