N'HUCH after THE
AMATEUR TRAP HONOR

Richardson Over dupont
Traps on Saturday
DOVER MAN HAS
HELD HONOR LONG

Local trapshooters are preparing
for treat this coming Saturday
when regular" shoot will be staged
for the amateur championship OF Del
aware. Colonel Alden B. Richardson
has been in undisputed possession or
the amateur championship OF the Dia-
mond State for two years now and
no one has come out of the wilderness
10 wrest the honor from him until
within the last few days, when Joseph
Ben McHugh expressed his willing
ness to take on the down-Stater and
endeavor TO bring the cup back to
Wilmington.
The ability OF both champion and
challenger are well known TO the
locals. and the fact that these two
top-notchers are going to get together
IN a match race is prima facie evi-
dence that there is going TO be a
real shotgun argument In our town.
The contest will be at 100 targets is
yards rise, and shot in four events
OF % targets each.
The last time Richardson won the
championship cup was at the Della
ware State shoot. when he ran 100
targets straight in open competition.
and this mark will stand for long
time without being equalled. Richard
son is also in possession of the open
championship cup. and there seems
10 be no professional shooter on the
horizon with the ability to wrest IL
from him. although some of the high
class amateurs in the State might do

EDGE MOOR -MADELEY
IN SATURDAY CAME

/. Saturday afternoon will see the
closing and deciding battle OF the
Church League when the tie between
Edge Moor and Madeley will be play
ed of. The game will be staged on
the p. B. and W. r. r. Athletic field,
at Thirty-sixth and Spruce streets.
Since the closing Of the league the
managers OF the two teams have been
trying TO make arrangements for the
final game, and came to a decision
on Friday evening. A strong rivalry
exists between Edge Moor and Made
ley. and in every league game both
teams always put spirit into play.
Manager Hackett, of Madeley will
use George Tinsman in the box and
Spittle behind the bat. George Smith
will play short, but with these eXcep-
tions the rest Of the team will remain
the same.
edge Moor will probably use Nor
ley. who pitched the early part Of the
season for Traction Company.
Streton, formerly of Marcus Hook,
will catch.

PHILLIES need ONLY ONE
Game TO CINCH PENNANT

One more victory over Boston will
insure the Phillies the pennant.
Should they win this one game they
could afford to lose the other six
games remaining on the schedule and
yet win the pennant by a game, even
should Boston take down eight out of
their nine games. This would give
the Philles 81 victories and &C de-
feats against sc victories and 67 de-
feats for Boston.
Should Boston clean up with the
Phillies, taking all four straight
games and then grab the five games
away from New York. the Phillies
would have to win two out of three
games from Brooklyn to win the rag.
This would give the Phils SO victories
and 65 defeats and Boston 81 victories
and 66 defeats.
II can also end in a tie. Should the
phils win but one OF their six games
that victory being over Brooklyn, and
Boston clean up on their nine games
the two clubs would be even all when
the curtain dropped with 81 triumphs
and sc reverses.

WHO GETS THE JOB?

The machinery for the production
of all social necessities is in the pos
session of small minority Of human
society-the capitalist class. They do
not make that machinery, they do not
operate it. In the case of the typical
capitalist concern of today-the trust
the owners may never have seen it..
Still, they own it. How they became
possessed of it is not the purpose at
this time to inquire. Being owners
they naturally claim the benefit &C
cruing from the operation of that ma
chinery. The workers, the wealth
producers, being a propertyless class,
i. e., without property in the machin-
cry of wealth production, are compell-
ed to go to the owners for permission
to get access to the means of life.
Permission is granted, sometimes, but
the owners, the capitalist class, con-
fident in the knowledge of their SUI
perior position, impose conditions.
Shortly they are these: "All the
wealth that you product over and
above the cost of your subsistence be-
longs to us. The cheapest man gets
the job"

WE MUST WRITE ALL THE
LAWS

Look! The earth is fruitful, the
harvests abundant, the flocks and
herds countless, the waters teeming
the bowels of the earth strewn with
mineral Our labor is the most pro-
ductive ever known or conceived. BY
the aid of giant machines we can pro-
duce wealth as never before could man
produce; all the good things of life,
till the storehouses are full to burst
ing. More than sufficient to supply
the every need of every man, woman
and child alive. And what have we?
What have you got?
OF all that wealth. produced by us
and ours, we can touch nothing but
the meager price of our toll; the mess
of pottage and childhood. Between
you and that wealth stands a class,
mortals like yourselves, but invested
with the magic vesture of ownership.
The earth that you have made fruit
full, the powers of nature you have
harnessed; the mighty machinery you
have devised and built, they own.
And by virtue of that ownership they
can compel you to pay to them toll in
the coined product of your sweat and
blood that they may live in luxury ana
idleness. At their hands you must
seek job. BY their leave you labor
and SO by their leave you live. And
you are not slaves?
Before them and between them and
us stands the law, guarding and pro-
tecting them in their ownership that
we touch it not. Seek we redress of
the law? Not against them 1t is
their law. Made by those who obey
their behest
Hence if we are to achieve aught,
we must write the law. By sending
men of our own class to the legisla-
lures, bearing our mandate; obeying
only our behest. When we know this
we can do it. We are many, they are
few, and our need is greater than
theirs.

THE ONLY SCHOOL

The school of experience is said to
be dear school, but it is the only
one in which mankind will or can
learn anything. With the average
man the experience must be bitter in
the extreme and long continued before
he will abondon his previous habits
or depart from old established Gus
toms. Just now the working class is
receiving the most drastic lesson in
the school of experience. Hundreds
of thousands of them are out of en-
ployment, and suffering the many pri-
vations and discomforts that this i'm
plies, because the present masters of
industry cannot see their way clear
to profitably employ them. This con-
dition arises solely from the present
system Of private property in the
means of wealth production, and out
of the purpose for which production
must be carried on under it. The pur-
pose of capitalist production is profit.
The products must be disposed of at
a price in advance of their cost. This
implies a market in which they may
be sold. If at any time the market
should fall short of the requirements
halt must be called in production.
This means that the labor force must
be reduced by laying off some of the
workers. Then the most pronounced
and glazing evil of capitalist rule ex.
presses itself in the misery and suf-
fering that spreads like plague
throughout the ranks of the workers.
A cry of distress is heard throughout
the length and breadth of the land
Though they were actuated by the
best motives it is absolutely impos
sible for capitalists and their defend
ers to offer a solution for the diff
Guilty, without destroying their own
system of property and overturning
in their entirety those social institu
tons which conserve and defend it.
