OLD MAN OF THE SEA

The present position which we, the
educated and well-to-do classes, oc-
cupy is that of the Old Man of the
Sea, riding on the poor mans back,
only, unlike the Old Man of the Sea,
we are very sorry for the poor man,
very sorry; and we will do almost
anything for the poor mans relief.
We will not only supply him with food
sufficient to keep him on his legs,
but we will teach and instruct him
and point out to him the beauties of
the landscape; we will discourse
sweet music to him and give him
abundance Of good advice.
Yes, we viii do almost anything
for the poor man-anything but get
off his back.-Leo Tolstoy.

UNCLE SANS EXPENSIVE
LOTTERY

Imprisonment is the legal penalty
for conducting a lottery however
fairly it may be managed. An indi-
vidual would soon find himself in
trouble who would announce a grand
drawing for 700 prizes, tickets one
dollar each, 10000 tickets to be sold.
Such an act is supposed to be harm
full to those engaging therein, and
this harm is further supposed to more
than counterbalance whatever benefit
the prize-winners may obtain.
This being the case, what excuse
is there for the United States gov
eminent conducting a lottery? On
November 4, a drawing was held in
North Dakota at which 700 prizes
were distributed to as many more or
less lucky winners. There were 29,S61
losers. The prizes were homestead
sites in an Indian reservation thrown
open to settlement No tickets were
sold at one dollar each to players
who could then remain at home and
go ahead with their regular occupa-
ton while awaiting the result of the
drawing Only an immoral concern
like the old Louisiana Lottery Com
pany would run matters that way,
No tickets were sold. The partici-
pants had to but pay railroad fare to
Minot, AIismarck or Plaza where the
land offices are located. There they
could register free of charge and wait
for the drawing. In addition to rail
road fare, they lost whatever their
time was worth In some cases, this
was several weeks. The losers are
worse off as a result than if they had
been allowed to play the Louisiana
lottery
The worst feature of it all is that
the proceeding was unnecessary.
There is much more than enough I'M

INDUSTRIAL WARFARE

Two millions injured and thirty
thousand killed in mines, mills, and
factories during one year; this is the
CHASTITY record Of industrys grim har-
vest. A bulletin on accidents pub
lished by the Bureau of Labor ad-
mits that an immense amount of hui
man life is wasted and vast amount
of injury done to health and strength,
with resulting physical impairment,
which has very considerable eco
monte value to the nation as a whole.
1t is insisted that it should not be
impossible to save at least one-third
and perhaps one-half by intelligent
and rational methods Of factory in
spection, legislation and control.

COAL MINE DISASTER

The horrifying disaster at the little
mining town of Ravensdale, thirty
five miles southeast of Seattle, which
occurred on Nov. Is, has brought
home TO many of us the terrible risks
which coal miners have to take in
order to obtain a bare living for them
selves and their loved ones.
Thirty-four of our brother wage
slaves were burned alive in the mine
by a dust explosion.
Some of the miners and those about
the surface when the explosion oc-
Cured declared there were two dis
tinct explosions. This might mean
that gas was first fired and the dust
explosion, of greater consequence, re
suited from the first flash of flame.
Whatever the cause of the eXplo-
sion may have been the fact remains
that, in all probability the accident
could have been avoided had proper
measures been adopted long ago. Out
Of every 100000 short tons of coal
mined in this country year by year,
four or five wage slaves are crushed,
suffocated or burned to death The
number Of miners killed annually in
the coal mines is never less than 1850,
and usually nearer 2SOo. or nearly
four ont of each 1000 men employed.
Besides the coal miners, over 500 are
killed annually in the metal mines,
and over 2o0 I'm quarries- The pro-
portion of men killed in metal mines
is about the same as in the coal mines.
th.u-h The number is much less.
A casualty list of American mines
and Guarrias, issued by the bureau of
mines covering the year 1913, shows
1851 men killed and estimated the
injuries. 30 NOT less than 100000. This

China as A
Horrible Example

The plight Of China is frequently at
tributed to lack of military prepara-
tion but those who make that asser-
ton do so without knowledge of the
facts. China has not always been I'M
prepared for war, so far as fortified
lions and a military establishment
can be considered preparation.
After the war with Japan in 1895, an
American missionary located in To
kio-Rev Chas. e. Garst of Dayton,
O.. showed the real cause of China's
defeat. That Mr. Garst was thorough
w competent to pass on military ques-
tions may be realized from the fact
that he was a West Point graduate
who had served eight years on the
frontier. At the time of the war he
had spent twelve years in Japan and
had twice visited China. In a letter
published in the Single Tax Courier
of st. Louis of May %, 1895, Mr. Garst
said:
After the war with France, China
set to fortifying the coast, rivers, ETC.,
by building strong Notifications at
strategic points, such as the capes
commanding the bay ON Pechili, the
sea route to Pekin. Heavy batteries
were planted. Fine war ships were
purchased abroad and all preparations
were made after the most approved
pattern of modern art. China's weak
ness did not so much lay in her lack
of preparation as in the demoraliza-
ton of her people"
Then after telling the wonderful
changes that had taken place in Japan
while China stood still, how the feud-
al lords had been deposed, the tenant
farmers made into owners, and the
people given voice in the govern
ment, Mr.. Garst continued:
Poor China, filled with corruption;
what had her people to fight for?
Tammany methods rule in China.*
The people have no rights. City lands
and houses are not taxed. Farm
lands in use are taxed a small per
cent. by the government but so per
cent. by the landlords. Human
rights are not known. Would
you, Mr. Plutocrat, fight for nothing?
Here then is the lesson for the Unit
ed States to learn from this var. The
people who have rights should main
tain them. If they have lost them,
| they ought to take possession again
Fill America with happy homes and
give the people their rights to land
and she is invincible, without other
preparation for war; but with the dry
rot driving the people from the land
| and making citizens tramps, she will
be inherently weak like China. The
! internal enemies of China captured
{ her before the foreign foes came
Mr. Garst did not live to see the
overthrow of the Chinese monarchy,
the establishment of the republic and

he living now, he could with justice
repent his comment of 20 years ago,
and point to the great opportunity
China missed, when she failed to up
hold Sun Vat Sen who would have
given the people their rights to the
land and made the country invincible.
