1t is then that you call on the hungry
and ragged people, who are greater than
courts, more powerful than law, to pro-

the ignorant working class. You now

their supreme power. You call on the
people for protection.
Why should not the working class
recognize their power, and say to the

We are a violence that your courts

physical force that YOU now call upon

legal talent and procedure, and yet you
call upon the slums for protection-on
the hungry and dsfranchised working

prosecuted for support. lon who,
through the dignity OF your courts have
snatched the food from the lips of our

We can now reply that as we were
not allowed to use that physical force

WHY USE 1T NOW?
BY THE RAMBLER.

From the first outbreak of the MeXi-
can revolution, that had driven the pow
crful Diaz and the Church off of the
backs of the Mexican poems, to their
present refusal to lay down their arms
in recognition of Carranza's Infamous
plot to bctray the best interests of a
struggling people, and turn the land wet
with their life blood back to the high
tinancicr of Wall Street no where is the
class struggle going on with as clear a
conception OF the class interest of the
disinhcritcd as in Mexico.
The crocodile tears shed over the dear
American lives lost on the Mexican
border have wholly obltcratcd the dear
American lives lost on the Lusitania.
Villa alone stands out as the monster
upon whom America must vent her
vengeance.
Every thinking human being may well
ask the reason why American lives lost
on the Mexican border are of so much
more value to American national honor
than the American lives lost on the
Lustana, or within our own national
: borders, at Ludlow, Colo, West Nir-
ginia, and Michigan, where the victims
were helpless women and little children
In no instance has there appeared in
the columns of the capitalist press
under the heading OF melting to war
on account OF Villas atrocities, which
has been as outrageous as those pcrpc-
trated upon the innocent victims of the
strike zones of America
Are we to believe that death by Amer
lean bullets is in some form superior tc
death from bullet at the hands OF the
Mexican, Villa!
Is it not absurd to think that a mar
who is not courageous enough to avcng,
the death of those who are most dcal
to him (wives, mothers, sweethcarts anc
daughtcrS) is going to rush to the de.
fenSc of a national honor which is rep,
resented by the high tnancicrs of that
nation, especially when he sees that
these same tinanciers are too cowardly
to protect their interests by the sacrifice
OF their own lives but rather that they
call upon the people to do SO for them

had almost forgotten how to walk and
