Nne people 10 l1SCen TO us.
We told them where Special Privilege in
the laws would lead the country, but we were
mocked and stoned.
And now the unprivileged millions of our
people are as completely in the power of as
merciless a Commercialism, as ever ground
the lives out of the producing classes.
Have the Trusts asked you to cut down the
size Of the cotton crop, by ceasing to buy
commercial fertilizers?
No: the city agriculturists have not scolded
you about buying guano.
Have they urged you to leave off the buying
of new mules, for a few years, and to scratch
along, the best you can, with the mules which
thus far have escaped the buzzards?
No. the city Reubs have not implored you to
quit buying mules.
Have they chided you for buying buggies,
wagons, new plough-stocks, mowers, reapers,
cotton planters, rakes, harness, &c?
No: I haven't heard a word along that line
yet you might considerably reduce your cot
ton crop, by making out, for a year or So with
the vehicles whose wheels are drunk and
with the implements whose best days won't
come back
| imagine that there would be quite get
ting up stairs among the silE-hat farmers in
town, If the word went out, that the farmers
had decided not to buy any more guano, or
mules, or wagons, or farm implements of any
sort, until cotton went to - cents.
By cutting out all these luxuries and bring
ing things back to the good old times when
one little mule pulled one little rooter all day,
and lacerated half-an-acre of ground, we
might cut the cotton crop as low as the city
bankers say it should be-
Let us try to please these distressed bank
ers.
Discard the two-horse pillow, throw out the
cultivator, re- ect the harrow, plant your cot
ton by hand put out food for the boll-worms
thresh your grain by trotting the horse over
it, quit buying canned foods of any kind
don't buy any more goods until the War
is over let all the children 90 barefooted like
they used to do; don't have biscuits but once
a week, as in old times; eat big lye-hominy
oftener than ever your granddaddy did and
limit yourself to eating one shoat year.
All this will have a good effect on public
opinion, and will make you more popular with
the city magnates who live and get rich off
your labor.
AS | understand it, you have ruined your
self and all the balance of us. by using so
H2nch fertilizer, so much improved farm ma
Chmery. SO much store clothing and store
provisions, so many new wagons, fancy ploWs,
labor-saving implements. so many high priced
mules. and such a luxuriously profigate way
Of living, generally.
Cut it all out!
How in the world can you expect to thrive,
and let us thrive, when you are forever and
eternally paying us ridiculously high prices
for our guano and our mules?
And when you spend so much of your time
borrowing our due bills and buying the stuff
that you need at home?

In Mexico it is charged that the church prior
to 1853 kept the people in slavery; but the de-
tanners forget that a century ago, the first to
sound the bugle call for liberty in Mexico, the
George Washington of Mexico was Hidago the
Catholic priest.
If the Rev J. P. Mickey wants the real
truth to be known, why did he not tell his
readers that the brave patriot Hidalgo, re-
volted against the fearful tyranny Of the Ro-
man Catholic hierarchy, and that the priests
had him shot?
Hidalgo was one of the poor parish priests
whose heart was touched by the miseres
which Popery inflicted upon his people.
He tried to be a, George Washington, and
he lost his life by it.
Hidalgo was another William TyndaIe who
rebelled against the expressions of his own
Church, and was murdered by that Church.
Hldalgo was another Arnold of Bresca
who tried to assert the rights of the Catholic
laymen, against the cruel tyranny of Catholic
ecclesiastics-and the ecclesiastics killed him
for it.
Hidalgo was another Catholic Savonarola
who preached against the vices and crimes of
the clergy, and was brought to his death by
that clergy.
Hidalgo was another Catholic who pitied
the condition of the Catholic masses, and was
murdered because he did so.
IF the Rev Mickey is an honest man. en-
deavoring to find the truth, let him study some
of the standard histories of Mexico and not
dupe his mind with the wicked falsehoods Of
mendaclous priests who cannot be made to be-
Geve that any Pope was ever a libertine, a
perjurer, a forger, a murderer, or an atheist.
And yet Pope Alexander VI. poisoned him
self in the attempt to poison Cardinal Cor
neto, and Pope Leo X. had surgical opera
ton performed on himself, for oenereaz
disease, during the Consistory that made him
Pope!
1t was the late Pope Plus TX who perse-
cuted unto death the Italian patriot priest,
Don Giovanni Venita, and who tried to muir
der Alessandro Gavazzi, another patriot
priest of Italy, who fought with Garibaldi
for the rights of the Catholic common people,
as Hidalgo was doing in Mexico-0s Villa IS
doing n0ec!
Villa is trying to finish the work of Jaurez
and Hidalgo, and the priests of the upper
hierarchy are trying to have our Government
make war on him.

How the Public School Bosses
Have COnfiscated Private Prop
erty in the School Books
THE Great Charter of English liberties
declared that no man should be deprived
of his property without due process of law.
This meant, of course, suit in a court
house, or public tax levied by the citizen on
himself through his representatives. 49,,
The Constitution of the United States. and
those of the States, contain a similar prov-
sion.
Now when the Public School authorities
adopt a set OF Es-books, and prescribe their
use, the purchase of these books becomes conn.,
puISory.
And when the parent buys, he acquires
rested interest in the py0pc5sy.
BY what sort OF legality, then, does the
School Board throw these books into the dis
card, rendering them of no value, and making
no compensation to the owner?
When the Board changes the books, It rjr-
tu07ly coafSc0tes the old b00hs
In effect, this is taking property without
due process of law.
Gee llG IN UStlC2 OF the tllnG
The State selects the books, and the patrons
of the schools have no voice, no vote, no OPP
ton.
They must buy the books chosen by the
Board
Then the Board, for some reason, changes
its mind
Wig does it change its mind?
If the books already in use were badly
selected, that's q djScreditub2o reflection up0n
the officials acAo chose them.
But if the Board made an honest mistake,
and wishes to rectify it, by selecting better
books,~ought the patrons be made to suffer
for the mistake of the Board?
Ought not the State to be responsible to the
helpless patrons for the mistake of the States
own agents!
1t seems so to me, and [ think it will to
YOU.
When the patron is compelled to buy set
of textbooks he has the right to assume that
he use them, as long as they last; and
that if he wants to sell them to others, he may
do so.
To change the textbooks, and to virtually
confscate the old ones, cannot be defended in
any forum where reason and law prevail
Nor can it be explained except upon the
humiliating theory, that the Book Tl7lst
m01cs en0rn10us profits out Of this system,
which profits are probably divided, in some
way, with the oficjazs acho bitterly oppose
any change
The State should publish its own textbooks
for the schools, just as it does for the lawyers,
in the matter Of Supreme Court Reports.
If Book Trust had control of thee Re-
ports, as it had when [ used to buy them,
they would still be costing $500 and $500 a
volume
But the State now publishes them, and the
lawyers pay less than $500 a volume.

For the Love of Mike,
Fans, What, More Do.
You Want I'm a Team 2
What more do you want, fans?

WHAT uOfo uO you WduC, lduS!
For years you've been wailing and crashing your
teeth because Tacoma didn't have ball team that
could win games. You've shouted your heads off be-
cause the Tigers couldn't seem to play big league
form.
You've rented and raved about the great adj
vantages Tacoma would have if we could only gather
together pennant winning team.
Well, what more do you want?
The 1915 Tiger team looks right now like pen
nant winner. We have the heaviest hitting bunch
that we've had in years. We have the best infield
that Tacoma fans have had the pleasure of ap-
plauding. We have team that is strong in the
pinches, and is winning its games purely through
scientific ball, fast, classy playing and unlimited
amount of nerve.
Well, what more do you want, fans?
If it should go out that Tacoma won't even sup
port a winning ball team, how many years do you
think it will be before anybody will risk his money
to finance Tiger club again?
Then get out to the ball grounds. Support your
team If we stay at the top of the Northwestern
percentage column, it means more advertising for
Tacoma than the Mount Tacoma motion pictures
Because fans know that winning teams only come
from live towns. And there's more REAL PEOPLE
interested in sports than there are scenic movies
Get out to the game today, and tomorrow Sup
port the Tigers We've got the goods in that old ball
team this year. Let's show that we appreciate them
