stop to the playing with of our most
important institution by these I'M
scrupUlOus hooters?
There is no institution under the
sun so intimate and vital to every one
as is the government. 1t is the gov
eminent and the government only
that has the power of life and death
over us. Even our fathers and moth
ers have not this power. Is it not
time therefore that we arise as one
man and loudly exclaim: No longer
shall you politicians, grafters, loot
ers, hypOcrites, play with our most
holy institution, hencefOrth we will
trust only men with ideals, mind and
heart! Rodriguez is our man Abe

they want and they waste all their
energy fighting each other to the de-
light of the capitalist They have
been taught from the cradle up to
regard friends as enemies and en-
emies as friends. If one group goes
on strike the rest will do everything
to help defeat them. A capitalist
governor of a state will order the mi
litia out to shoot up the strikers and
the next election the workers will
show their intelligence by re-eIecting
this same man.
Prof. Nearing says that there is
no class struggle, that the capitalists
have a walk-OVer and encounter no
resistance to speak Of from the
workers. Look at what is being put
over on the DanbUry hatters. The
worker is taught how to make an
automobile and then he is stuffed
with superstition and nonsense to
keep him from wanting to own the
auto after he has made it.

RUSsELL's ADVICE. -

RUSSELL'S ADVICE. - About
year ago, in Pearson's Magazine,
Charles Edward Russell gave his
views on preparedness. He said that
the only way to avoid war is to re-
move capitaIism-th cause of war.
So long as we retain capitalism we
must expect war and should be pre-
pared for war. For people to declare
against war and at the same time ig-
more the cause of war is to show that
they have no clear conception of the
situation. Russell says that all the
causes that make for war are in VIC
lent action and are being ignored.
People who are so Indifferent as to
allow conditions to exist which are
responsible for the ruin Of thousands
of girls and the premature death of
thousands of children and the cause
Of various other injustices cannot be
expected to act in a sane manner
when the plutes want to start a war.
It will be their emotions, not their
reason, that will rule their actions
when that time comes. The Social
lists of Europe gave a fine example of
what may happen in this country.
Capitalists are organized and in
perfect harmony and have one COM
mon gOal-prOfits. And they let
nothing prevent them from reaching
their goal.
The workers, on the other hand,
are in a state of confusion. They

Needed Private Help,

Needed Private Help.
The presence here in San Antonio
and along the border of representa-
tives Of various organizations that
sent to the troops in philantrophic
or patriotic spirit will be used as ar
guments that the militia depended
upon private assistance. There are a
large number of these would-be help
ers. Some of them are discovering
real needs, which the war offices of
the armies of Europe would supply
the troops without dependence upon
the public, there is feeling here
that many of them might we'll stay
at home 49,.
Some of them are even looked upon
as anxious to prove the militia is
so worthless that it needs outside
aid. ,-~--= ST.. -.
The same interests which were be-
hind the universal training plan
some months ago have come to life
again and are renewing their efforts
by attacking the militia.
Newspaper correspondents here are
becoming aware of the plan and care
fully weigh every story of the militia
that they hear.
Judge Against Militia.
That the regular army should pre-
sent concsription is only to be ex~
pected. In truth, regular army Off
GERS in growing numbers are appear
ing in the streets of San Antonio in
civilian clothes in order to escape be-
ing taken for militiamen. This is the
same ancient grudge prevalent in
every army in the world, even in the
trenches, but the army will have lit
tie hand in the present purpose of
certain interests to prove the militia
worthless. These interests have
spies among charity workers. It has
been noted that some of those charity
workers even go so far as to expect
to see the army rolls in headquarters
in order to gain data ostensibly for
campaign. -.
Militia is not perfect, but it is not
so bad as if the public mind gave
credence to the conscriptionists' re-
ports. (;
