think it is is to think superfcialy
 The labor of the unknown man in the simplest devices has made possible
 the greatest of discoveries, and
 even the genius has reaped the re-
 ward in his intellect, from labor
 which asked for nothing of the kind in days gone hy. There is not mo- dern text book but which in itself
 is the patient result of average in
 vestigation and infinite labor collect
 ed slowly and patiently throughout
 the ages of investigation; and all
 that has been possible only because
 of the unknown toilers who mute
 Iy labored in an average way and
 rendered it possible for knowledge to accumulate and to be imparted from age to age. The recent efforts to set forth a doctrine Of service in
 evolution that would justify the
 wealth accumulation of Rocke- feller, a Schwab and a Morgan, can
 not therefore begin to found itself
 on reason of any scientific facts.
 It can only demand that service
 of the rest of human beings be-
 cause at the end of it's demand Is the appeal to force, which it,
 through the various institutions, | is enabled to control. Because it has enactments and conventions and customs and laws to uphold it's
 position and failing that, we have
 their resort to organized violence,
 such as commercial rivalry will not l hesitate to inspire in the form of
 national wars. But just as we know l that these wars are called into be- 1 ing for the purposes of furthering the gainful and commercial objects of the ruling classes within the
 staet, yet none the else by perver-
 sion of the conception which the
 masses hold of their self interest,
 under patriotic pretexts of one sort
 or another they make the masses do | the fighting; so in times of peace by a similar perversion, the exploited classes are compelled to serve and to rejoice in the serving, although such ends in disease and maiming and deaths, in starvation and lack of shelter and breadlines and unem-
 ployment, child labor in youth and
 workhouse in old age-all founded
 on a shoddy c,S ss-made science.
 The ability of the ruling classes | from an economic point of view to | force it's own doctrines as to ethics
 upon those against whose interest
 such may be, has been the wonder of every age. But none the less it

has also been one of the most pow erful means whereby such exploita- tion as it was intended to foster, could thereby be fostered. When it failed and the parasitic propa- gandists who tried to foster the per version failed, there was nothing left but force or revolution.

PRISON LABOR ON ROAD
Plan Will Be Submitted to the Legis-
lature This Winter.

Four hundred state convicts will be
worked on roads of the state next
summer without guards or a stockade,
if the legislature approve a plan of j.
X. Codding, warden of the state pris-
on at Lansing. Codding declares the
men are capable of building excellent
roads and can be used on public high
ways at a minimum expense to the
state.
The prison warden has expressed
the highest confidence in the men
who will be used in construction work.
He declares guards and stockades will
be unnecessary and that persons liv-
ing in communities where convict la
Dor is used will have no occasion to
fear violence from the men. Many of
the men to be used in road building
will be taken from the shops and
mines at the prison. The loss of men
from the mines will require a larger
appropriation for the purchase of coal
at state institutions.
Plans by the warden call for the use
of gangs of twenty-five to fifty men
in each road building crew. When
the Leavenworth road was built,
twenty-five men were used in each
camp. This number, the warden be-
lieves can be handled safely and with
out trouble by each road chief.

Four Men Want Position.

now assistant treasurer, is one of the
candidates. w. c. Austin of Cotton

also hustling for the place. Ike Lam
bert, son of one of the old war horses
in Kansas politics, is also after the
job. Lambert was chief clerk of the
house two years ago. Emmett George
of Council Grove is also candidate.

senators take their seats. 1t will all
be settled then, of course, and the
election will be a purely formal mat

active in Republican politics for sew
eral years.
Clarence Miller of Winfield is a
candidate for chief clerk of the house
and thus far no other candidate for
the place has sent his announcement
to Topeka and Miller may not have
any opposition. He has been a clerk
in the house for several years, usually
