been wrecked in opening up the country.
 The entire proposition is infinite ly disgusting. And not the least disgusting feature of tho position .s that AlGskans, the so-called brave, fearless, daring, opcnhoarted, ven- turesome, independent, freedom loving Alaskans who so peddle to themselves at their reunions, &C., cept this condition with only a surly protest, while they turn to their ledgers and wonder how the hell they are going to get boom on will enable them to unload their wild cats on a lot of outside suckers or busy themselves with their efforts to extract big chunk of hog fat from the pork barrel and slime over officials at Washington as the con- stant and unswerving friends ot AL aska.
 It's a mighty serious thing when people will accept situation like this insane contract calmly and with l indifference. It's mighty serious reflection on the people who will see those whom they knew and loved and worked with treated like felon slaves because they became mentally | infirm and a bunch of fat-gutted | Oregon politicians are allowed to swell their treasurie3 at the expense of the misery, sickness and wretch edness of the unfortunate Alas kans.
 It makes one sick to hear the people of Alaska, when they are giv- | ing reunions to recall former days of daring and doing, throw bouquets at one anoher with the abandon of Q millionaire on a chorus girl. The halls ring with apostrophes to the great ones who lugged a sled over the divide, and sought with infinite perseverance for the home stake HI tuO uGpIuS Ol ulOtuCf SttItu, Wnc suffered torures in an uncndurable existence, and wrestled with fortune until their backs achcd to develop the country.
 Yet here they are subjected to an insulting condition that defies de- scription, and accepting it without a murmer. Even the buzzards, tho birdmen tell us, protect their strick- en and the wounded jackal is guaru- cd by such as are well. But it is man alone that allows his fellow men when wounded and stricKen ann suffering to be made the moans whereby some more dollcrs will bt ground out for the proprictors of
 'sanitarium" (God bless tho mark) in Oregon.
 There are sure some up-lifterc | that high browed administration In Washington, and there are sure some daring and fearless ginks ill Alaska will stand for this sort of thing.

little in comparison to the value oi property. Everything that will up hold the latter is agitated and pres sed to final issue; the right to live is wholly ignored.
 For one statute and one judicial precedent upholding human lie az the most vital of all things in hu- man society, there are thousand upholding human property as the premier consideration.
 These are conditions that in so- ciety wherein everything from labor to junk is a system of commodities, with commodity relations between one and the other, are wholly log1- cal and inevitable.
 The jobless are not worth mu h as money makers; but it is upon them that capitalism rests, aud while such a system exists there will always be plenty of workers and an excess over the number ot iols available.

Preparedness has invader the movies. An eleven part motiOc pie ture entitled the Battle Cry of Peace is TOW taking the movie houses 3y storm outside. It is said to be mo- delled after Hiram Maxim's book DefenSeless America with vein of romance added to heighten the ln- terest in the story. It attempts to show in a great series of spectacu- lar pictures how New York city and the entire United States within a few weeks could be conquered by an invading enemy. It shows the Wall street district in flames, a con quering army marching through the streets dynamiting public buildings end destructon of homes and fire sides. It shows the valiant efforts of the military of America to cope with this invading force end their futile efforts to save the nation.
 This is in about the line of req soning that Is employed to further national preparedness. It first ima- zines an enemy and then has the enemy conquer America.
 It does not explain just why for eign nations should wish to con quer America, why they should de sire to destroy the homes of Amer ican workingmen and to dcstroa their jobs. It offers no explanation why the United States should gel in conflict with Germany or Britain or France But it creates an ina ginary foe and tIore you gro.
 So far none of these preparation ists have sought to justify their doc trines by any open admission thai Germany is to be the next foe, ol that Great Britain is. Nonc of then have sought to prove to the Amer ican people that they are in imme' diate danger from any specific na tion. But they have conjured an un. namcable Terror and sought to in. ject it in the veins of tho people sc that in Terror they might do wha' their cool reason would oppose.

Industrial Worker, but because such an inference is possible the article is misleading and wholly useless. Capitalism as Mcrx pointed out, depends for it's existence on a land less moneyless class who must work for others to live. The moro num- erous that class is, the better the bargain that employers can drive with the unfortunate people are to be hired.
 Labor organizations depend for their existence upon this fact that they try to overcome the economic supremacy an abundance of proper tiless and landlcss workers gives employers. They function chiefly and primarily and by precedent as a means of preventing individual bargaining so that collective bar gaining will enable the workers en masse to make better bargain. The difficulty of the case which con- fronts labor organizations is intensl- fled by the fact that there are moce men than jobs, and the scramble cannot be organized by the unions on account of the wild effort upon the part of individ uals to take what they can get for their labor, so that first of all they may live It is for that reason the more radical unlons have put at the head of their pro- gram the abolition of the wages system altogether, so that there will be work, but no wage working, for all who want to live.
 Poverty and crime have Q very distinct association. For every man is first of all an animal with an ami malls instinct to live. If the condi- tions in industry preclude the poss- ibility of his obtaining the means of existence by hiring out his labor power, then he has either to beg or Steal Both are crimes because both compel those who have to support those who have not, unwillingly. Men instinctively hate the beggaT be- cause men reflect always the view point of the man of property who hates to give, alhough he has taken,
 without adequate returns. The Ihtn
 who steals is an open enemy against
 whom the organized forces of so- ciety are always directed, and the courts very seldom take into con sideration the economic compulsion
 which has driven many and many a
 man to a life of crime.
 Capitalism however is indirectly as well as directly responsible for
 crime. It takes no cognizance what ever of the impulse exists in every
 human being to prolong his life,
 and while it is legal and right ana
 necessary to shut up the avGnues
 of legitimate means of subsistence to the workers, the unemployed are
 expected to live somehow within the
 law. When they are driven to go
 outside the law they are blamed as
 individuals by the very profiters of
 the system that has left no other
 course open to them. All along 1t Is

 It is an old obvious fact, and tho Leader believes that it would go far towards reformation of society 1T jobs were secured for everyone who worked. It would, but 1t will not. That's the paradox.
 The capitalist system depends upon the jcbless, the landless end the proportiless who have nothing to sell but their labor power. If there were jobs for everyone, where would strike breakers come from and when a man quits for more wages would the capitalists do to get an what would the capitalists do to get another profit making human ma chine? f8I ..-!

PLENTY OF COAL
 FOR LIGHT PLANT

All immediate danger of a short age of coal at the municipal light and water plant was averted last night when two carloads were received and Supt. K. V. Leverett secured car numbers on four more cars which are on the road. Mr. Leverett made a special trip to the mines yesterday and bought two cars that were load ed for shipment elsewhere. In the meantime two other cars which should have reached here 10 days ago were received and notice was re- received of the shipment of two ad- ditional carloads. The six cars will give the plant supply for about seven weeks, MT. Leverett states.
 The management of the plant felt considerable alarm Wednesday, when with the coal bins containing only four or five days supply, nothing could be heard from the cars ordered and the railroad strike was impend- ing. Tentative arrangements were made yesterday for the purchase of several hundred cords of wood, in the event no coal could be secured.

making in all about 2 1-2 million for
 Arkansas roads. It is an absolute certainty for the reason that it is z
 ederal condition, that all this mon ey must be expended on roads laid
 out and recommended by the high
 way commission, and we know that
 the government policy and that of
 the highway department is to build
 good state roads with that money,
 and not pro rata it out piecemeal
 among the 75 counties of the state,
 thereby practically wasting it and doing the state at large very little good.
 It is the purpose of the department to build a state road north and south through Arkansas, and one east and west.
 The latter is the one we are or
 should be interested in.
 There is now with the exception of
 one link good macadam road ex-
 tending from Little Rock to Mem
 phis, and an improvement district has been formed to fill that link and
 it will be complete probably before 1917.
 Now the question arises as to the
 route from Little Rock to Fort Smith. We all know that the "old military
 road" from Fort Smith to Dardanelle
 is infinitely better today than any | road we have north of the river. So
 we are, as you can readily see, han dicapped in the race to begin with,
 but it can be overcome if we buckle
 right in and fight flor a place in the sum-"
 The highway department assured
 me that they would recommend no route for a state highway where the
 people were not themselves trying
 to do something for the building of good roads, but their policy would be
 to help those who showed disposi- tion to help themselves. So you can see it is up to ourselves to act. But we should act at once, at least com
 mence a campaign of education Volumes could be written on the ad- vantages to our city and county from such road and you would be doing a laudable work. You will find plen- ty of men to back you up.

 north of the river to organize, and

COUNTY JUDGE COOK
 CANNOT BE ELECTED
Democratic State Central Committee Says He Must Resign
 One Position.

Little Rock, Sept. Judge liar ry K. Cook of Lake Village, Demo- cratic nominee for presidential cleo tor from the Sixth district, has been declared ineligible because of his holding office as Chicot county judge, and will be asked to resign either his office or as a candidate for elector, according to officers of the Democratic State Central Committee. Judge Cook is the fifth elector chosen by the state convention whose eligibility has been questioned.
 J. S. Maloney, chancery clerk of Pulaski county, was the first. He resigned and P. D. Scott of Van Buren was appointed to succeed him. Then it was discovered that MT. Scott was a national bank director and ineligible for that reason. He resigned his office in the bank. F. G. Lindsey of Bentonville, another bank director, also resigned his of flee. H. A. Northcutt of Salem, an- other electoral candidate, has an- nounced he will resign as prosecuting attorney before the election so he will be eligible as elector. Judge Cook has given no intimation of what he will do. His term will expire soon after the election, and he is not a candidate for election to any other office.

COTTON IS HIGH
 AND ACTIVE HERE

Sixteen cents pound is being paid for cotton here today, the price on the local market advancing a quarter cent since yesterday. Never before even in the latter portion of September has cotton moved so rap idly to the Conway market as it moved on the first day of the month this year. More than 100 bales had been received up to o'clock and the seasons receipts are already run ming close to the 800 mark The farmers seem we'll satisfied with the big prices and there is no disposition to hold cotton, but on the contrary every grower is apparently picking and ginning his cotton as rapidly as possible. Today's shower will inter- fere with picking to some extent, but if the weather is fair tomorrow there will probably be another big days receipts from cotton picked out yesterday afternoon and this morn ing.
 The futures market was rather active today. Liverpool opened at the remarkable advance of 70 Eng fish points, equivalent to $7 bale, but the New York market failed to respond and during the day worked considerably lower. Reports at 1:30 this afternoon stated that December New York contracts were about 16 points net lower.
 The price of cottonseed on the local market today is unchanged at $35 Der ton.
