subject to the law of supply and de mand.
 Marx recognizes a two-fold func, tion of labor as far as commodities are concerned. One is to produce use values, an essential of all com dities. The other as the stand ard of measurement of commo- modities in economic relation to one another in exactly the same way that a yard measure is used to esti- mate the lengths of pieces of cloth and ounces and pounds estimate the weight of substance. Yet a com modity can have a value without any labor being applied to it's pro- duction. If one finds nugget in the open it, will exchange for pre- cisely the same value as that where in great labor has been applied to produce. The Marxian theory of value in exchange is the unit of labor time cost in the production or reproduction of commodity and what it would cost to reproduce the nugget would be it's exchange value.
 Now to understand our reference to the historical essential in all value: private ownership. And that we have not been explicit enough in our previous references may justify in a measure the criticism of our correspondent.
 Exchange values are not possible where such are not privately owned for trade and barter, fora commerce; the social power given by ownership being used to extract a price from individual need. Whoever directly satisfies his own wants with the pro- duce of his labor creates indeed use values, but not commodities" Social ly necessary labor power is not ne cessarily creator of value. tt can be applied to the raw material with out resulting in the production of commodities, the historic receptacle of all exchange values. Marx him. self shows that this is so. "We have too close at hand in patciarhal industries of the peasant family that produces corn, cattle, yard, linen and clothing for home use. The diff erent articles are, as regards the family, so many products of it's la bor, but as between themselves they are not commodities. The different kinds of which result in the various products are in themselves and such as they are direct social functions because functions of the family which just as much as society based

upon the production commodities possesses a spontaneously developed system of the division of labor". If we consider wherein arises the diff erenec in these two form of rroduc- ton and the accompanying economic distinction in the social product ot labor, we will discover clearly that it is therefore absolutely correct to say without such private ownership engaged in production for the markets as an essential, exchange values could not exist. It is the ex- ssntial of the capitalist economy, oi the economy involving exchange values.
 Private ownership is the sine qua non of capitalist economy and all that that capitalist economy in- wolves, including commodities and their measurement of value, that is the socially necessary labor time taken in their reproduction. We need hardly remind the writer of the above letter, that labor al though the substance and the i'm manent measure of value has itself no value. It is the yard stick whereby the Owners measure their property. But it is because ot this condition of ownership that the values can be measured in labor power, exchanged for other commo- dities also owned, because snHh pri- vate ownership is the supreme fact of capitalist economy, without which it could not be.
 | Back of that private ownership IS the might which makes tie annexa- tion of surplus values right, makes it a legal and social right, and that was the point we made in the article of August 12, even if we did not make it clear enough for some Marxians.
 | Besides and in conclusion, these things are immaterial. Instinctively the facts of exploitation are borne | in upon the mind of the most "un- intellectual worker. The iron dis cipline of the job to which he is sub l iected is an educator far more po- , tent than any economic dogmatism. | that leads only to foggery, mystl- cism, intellectual hair splitting, and dangerously misleading "heresies" to be punished by communication

value to a commodity. The letter reads as follows: "There is an in herent value in the materials. The pine tree does not bring so much ill the market as the mahogany-you can not get over it'. The above quotation from the Reimer-Mrs. Avery debate recalls an interesting experience and at the same time proves the absurdity of her state ment.
 When I was about to leave Guate mala some years ago, l wanted to secure a packing case (pine box) for the shipment of some things that had collected. I supposed this would be an easy matter, so 1 went to the supply store with my request. No box was forthcoming. Finally l discovered one and upon investiga- tion discovered that the owner held it to be worth about it's weight in gold. The result was that I had native carpenter make me a beau- tiful mahogany chest of native wood and this was secured at price well under that asked for pine box case.
 The sash and doors in the house where I lived were all of mahogany and though some of the panels were so beautiful as to be priceless were they in the United States, these doors were really cheaper to pro- duce than pine doors would have been, so it is obvious that the pine tree may bring more in the market than does the mahogany, and does actually bring more in land for eign to it's habitat.
 The labor required to place pine board in the hands of Guatemala carpenter raises the value of such board beyond the value of board of native mahogany.
 I think for the present that this will be enough to prove that your theory, Mir Editor, is entirely wrong and dangerously misleading. l wish to say that both your articles of Aug 12 and Aug. 15 have been mailed to the Weekly People for a critical analysis.
 In conclusion, I would say that 1t would be we'll to read all of the Socialist Labor Party literature especially the Weekly People, as that party is the only true political party of the working class, and is the only party that has a clear-cut program for the emancipation of the working class in the United States. The Socialist Labor Party is the only true exponent of the Marxian Theory of Value in the United States and carries only one plank in it's platform: The complete over- throw of the Capitalist system and the inauguration of the Cooperative Commonwealth.

 In reply we certainly object to the idea that we have endeavored to up- set the theory of exchange values in commodities as expounded by Karl Marx. We did in the course of an editorial in this paper on Aug. 12 emphasize the fact that there could be no exchange value without own ership. And in the issue of Aug. 18th while commenting upon an eX- ception taken by a socialist critic while granting the correctness of the Marx theory that social labor power was the measurement of value, again insisted >upon the fact of ownership being promised in any such theoretical consideration. Marx himself says that there can be no value without utility, and the historical essential of all exchange value is private ownership in that utility. Tha.t fact is not recognized sufficiently by "Marxian" socialists, but it is the important fact above all other facts as far as the capitalist economy is concerned.
 Our correspondent is not himself clear on the Marxian conception ct Value, otherwise he would have re cognized the fact that the Cratem- ala-travelled man whom he 1noles from, is muddled up in his ideas of value and price. The reason why pine is dear and mahogany cheap in Guatemala is simply that the price the variable co-efficient of values, is

German Who Took Ship
by Himself Gets Life
Sentence For Piracy

Wilmington, Del, April 10. - With
out showing the slightest emotion,
Ernest Schiller, alias Clarence Reginald
hudson, the German pirate who sin
gle-handed took charge of the British
steamship Matoppo and compelled the
crew to run her into Lewes, stood in
the Federal court yesterday afternoon
and received sentence of imprison-
ment for life. after pleading guilty to
charge of piracy. Schiller left for
Atlanta last night in custody of Mar
shall Farry and a deputy.
Schiller appeared almost relieved. as
he received mis- sentence from Judge
Bradford, his one fear still being that
he might be turned over to the British
authorities. Before boarding the train
for Atlanta tonight, Schiller made
this statement:

tured this steamship. 1t was for the

Rally to Defense of

Washington, d. c., April 19.-Indig-
nant resentment of the aspersions cast
upon the officers and men of the or
ganized militia by Senator Borah. of
Idaho, in a speech delivered in the
Senate Saturday, was yesterday voiced
by members of the House.
Mr.. Borahs charges that the money
appropriated by the Federal govern
ment for the militia had been wasted
and in many cases "embezzled" were
Nehemently denied and when the army
bill again comes before the House in
the form of a conference report sew
eral members stand ready to give the
lie TO these statements and back I'D
their assertions with absolute proof.
Representative James Hay chair
man of the House committee on mill
tary affairs, called up the Division of
Military Affairs of the War Depart
ment yesterday and asked for the
truth regarding Borah's charges. He
was informed that every dollar appto-
prlated by the Federal government for
the militia had been expended accord
ing to law. that every dollar had been
accounted for, that the waste" COM
planned of by the Senator covered the
entire period from 1898 to the present
time. The accusations of "embezzle-
ment" have no foundation whatever
in fact.
Representative Thomas S. Crago, of
Waynesburg, Pa. who until within
few weeks ago was lieutenant colonel
OF the Tenth Regiment, National
Guard of Pennsylvania, emphatically
denied the aspersions cast upon the
National Guard by Senator Borah.

along the Main Line also have received
scurrilous missives in the same hand

The matter has been placed in the

post office inspector here, and vain
effort made to identify the writer of
the letters. This task has proved diff
ficult, the envelopes showing that they
were mailed at various parts of the
city and invariably in street boxes.
The letters, it is said, were, without
doubt, written by a woman, who has
made an effort to disguise her real
penmanship.
Members of one well-known family
have been SO annoyed that the services
of a leading lawyer were enlisted. A
daughter in this family was married
in New York some time ago to we'll
known young man. Prior to the we'd

It is a well-known fact that the body
strives to throw out through the skin in the
form OF perspiration the excess Of salts and
acids that accumulate in the blood. When
you take a hot bath you know how the sweat
stings If it drops into the eyes. This same
effect goes on at various different spots on
the skin and results in sores, rash, salt

It follows the law of circulation by which,
having Sawed its purpose, it seeks out an
outlet and at once is caught in the myriad OF
