Farmers Terminal Company Is
Made the Defendant
From Saturday. paIiy.

From Saturday, Dairy.
st. Paul, November 13.-Four suits
to recover money and notes paid for
stock In the Farmers Terminal Pack
ing company Of ST. Paul. we're filed
in the Ramsey county district court
today by Carl w. Cummins of Nor
ply, Ewing & Cummins.
The plaintiffs are: Peter Olson,
Cumberland, Wis; John Carlson.
Comstock. Wis; f. P. GRANDSON,
Holdigford. Mimi, and John Nelson,
Upsala. MINI.
Olson and Carlson are suing TO re-
cover money paid for stock and Err
landson and Nelson to recover notes
given in payment for stock. The
plaintiffs charge Misrepresentation on
the part OF the defendants.
Peter Olson, in his complaint, says
that the defendant, by false repre-
sensations, induced him to give his
note for 500 In payment for one
share of stock.
Denies Site Is Owned.
The company. Mr.. Olson charges,
does not own the 1874 acres near st.
Paul intended for site and the land,
instead of 5000 an acre, as repre-
scented, Is not worth more than SIS.
The plant when completed will not
have the capacity represented, IL Is
charged. and not more than $780, 600
worth OF stock has been sold when II
was stated that s25OiOOO worth had
been sold.
The company was paying promoters
twenty-five per cent instead of fifteen
per cent, as represented. he says, and
II all the stock were sold the country
would not have over 100000. after
paying expenses. whereas more than
100000 would be required to build
and equip the plant, and more than
100000 I'm ready cash would be re-
quired for operation until returns
could be obtained. q. '' %"
Says Stock Was Dropped.
Instead Of holding the money for
the erection OF a plant. as represent
ed. Il Is charged, the company has
been paying Il over, to the promoters.
and no arrangements have been made
to handle the live stock OF sub
scribers. as promised. nor has Il ar
ranged for any business whatever.
II is charged that the packing plant
at La Crosse is not paying dividend,
as represented, and that. instead OF
increasing i'm value. its stock has
dropped TO practically no value at AL
The other complaints are similar to
that of Mr.. Olson. -
+. "A. S. Price. financial repre-
sentative OF the proposed terminal
packing plant said that the suits are
a frame up" to discredit the plant,
the result OF efforts made by some
Minnesota State Equity society
members. He says the suits, for which
the expenses are being paid. are be-
ing brought innocently by the farm
ers. Pa,

GOOD MEN" WHO WOULD
PROTECT THE PEOPLE
FORM SOCIALISTS

Out in Crawford county, Kansas,
the Socialists were opposed with es-
pecial energy by the county officials
then in office, because Socialism
would destroy religion, break up the
home, abolish the family and ruin
business" The Socialists carried the
county and the defenders of the
home" took the matter to the courts
and the Socialists beat them again.
Then the Socialists investigated and
forced some Of those anxious officials
to pay back to the county some of the
money that they had laid hands on.
The former clerk Of the district court,
who had been anxious to defend the
purity of the family, had to give up
eleven hundred and one dollars and
three cents. Another home defender
had to come across with thirty-one
hundred and eighteen dollars and for.
ty-eight cents which he had high fl
nanced out of the county Another
champion of purity has given up thir-
teen hundred and seventy-five dollars
which he had absorbed as a protector
of the incentive Of the public. The
county sued the former sheriff, a de-
fender of faith" against wicked So
cialists for six thousand eight hun,
dred and twenty-five dollars. 1t is
evident that here the Socialists have
indeed "set class against class" That
is they have set the honest class
against the dishonest class. Wher-
ever Socialism appears you will hear
a yell for home and the flag from the
lying, political parasites who want
to keep the voters fooled so the So
cialists won't bring an honest gov
eminent.
There are a lot of people who know
what is right, but are opposed to it..
And from PLATE to the United States
Supreme Court that class has been
well taken care of by the profit sys-
tenn managers.

IN THE TRENCHES

The following incident has been re-
ported in the Manchester Guardian, %

of Great Britain:
According to a wounded officer, a
day before the great attack a curious
thing happened. A board was hoisted
in the German trenches bearing the
inscription
THE ENGLISH ARE FOOLS
No one wasted a bullet on such poor
abuse. The board went down and ap-
peared with this addition
THE FRENCH ARE FOOLS
1t was ignored by the British. Then
the board came up again and reap
peared with a third line
WE ARE ALL FOOLS
A lively interest was now awakened
in the board On it's last appearance
it bore the inscription

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOT FOR
CHILDREN OF WAGE
WORKERS
Some Startling Statistics

Government statistics prove conclu-
sively the fact so frequently pointed
out by Socialist writer's and speakers,
namely, that the children of the work
ing class get very little advantage Of
our boosted free and compulsory edu-
cation" Few of them get any farther
along in their Education" than is
barely necessary to make them more
or less efficient servants of the own
ing class, as clerks, errand boys, and
manual laborers who needs must
know how to Figure" at least enough
to attend to the business of the boss.
AS for the universities, which are
supported out of the unpaid labor Of
the working class, only the children
Of those who live on the labor Of 9th
ers ever graduate from college. The
exceptions prove the rule. The sta
tistics quoted in this issue Of The
Northwest Worker give the rule.
Under Socialism, all who would de-
sire the higher education could OBJ
tain it; and none would have to hui
initiate himself by working his way
through" while the pampered sons Of
social parasites queen it" on the
campus, or swell up in frat" houses
wherein Fraternity" is limited to the
"select few" who have indulgent par
ents and abundant pin money"
Capture the schools? Yea, verify.
But let us meanwhile work with still
greater ardor and energy and deter
mination to help spread the light of
Socialist teaching among the parents
