@. am a subscriber to the North

on which | seek your advice. w and
X trade real estate. w gave a bill
of sale reading: "Such personal prop
erty belonging to parties of the first
part as shall be found on the place."
But w held jointly disc, harrow and
pIow with n, whose place joins, with
the agreement that the one selling
out should leave his share in these
omplements to the one remaining,
and these and what personal property
w did not wish to dispose of had been
removed to HIS premises. Mr.. X told
n that his bill of sale called for all
implements including WIS interest in
those held Jointly. n replied that IT
it did, X could take them, and then
wrote w for information. Before WIS
reply that this was not the case could
get back, X had moved the imple-
ments from HIS premises to his own.
Could not H still claim the impIe-
ments as his own, according to his
agreement with w and have them re-
turned? What would be the proper
course for n to take, and can he do
anything now to secure the complete
ownership of these implements?
n. C. w.
A. The implements mentioned be-
long without a doubt to H, and he
can still assert his ownership. If w
cannot be convinced of HIS rights
and permit him to take them, then
H will have to sue for the return of
the property by an action known as
replevin.

Socialist Philosopher
ForSaW Present War

What Frederick Engels, co-laborer
of Karl Marx and author of several
Socialist classics, thought about a
future worldwide war is clearly
shown in a part of the preface writ
ten by him in 1887 for a new edition
of Borkheim's book, ''Zur Erinnerung
an die Deutschen Mordspatrioten, ="
"a Memento for the German Jingoes)
In this foreword Engels places the
responsibility on the system of COM
petitive armament, and declares this
to be the factor which will finally
bear fruit in making war inevitable.
The most remarkable passage writ
ten by Com. Engels, almost THIRTY
YEARS AGO, is as follows:
And finally, no other wars will be
possible for Prussia Germany but
b world war, war so extensive and
frightful as has been hitherto I'M
thought Of Eight or ten million sol
diers will murder one another and
incidentally devour Europe as would
swarm of locusts. The devastations
of the Thirty Years War pressed to-
gether into three or four years and
spread over the entire continent;

A Soliloquy by Uncle Sam

I'll fill my land with pride and hate,
On them I'll rear a mighty state.
I'll teach my boys that they must be
Ready to strike each man they see.
And then I'll be prepared.
I'll give each child gun and say,
Go, speed the bullet on it's way,
Make true your eye! Aim as you can
To pierce the heart of brother man. 4"
And then I'll be prepared.
With powerful forts my coasts I'll fill,
A mighty battle fleet I'll float,
My sons I'll train to kill and kill
And DER their fellowmen to gloat
And then I'll be prepared.
To backs already bent with toll,
To shoulders heavy burdened now,
I'll add and add till they must MOL
Like beasts who in the earth must
pillow.
And then I'll be prepared
OF arms, the rattle,
OF rifles, the crackle,
Of artillery, the crash,
Of men, commands harsh,
OF hoofs, the beat
On highway and street,
OF fife, the shrill,
OF men, the drill,
The land shall fill.
And then I'll be prepared.
And then I'll be prepared
To crush the upward struggling
masses,
More firmly trench the better

To throttle Labor, dare it ask
For justice in it's tiresome task.
Yes, then I'll be prepared.

GEORGE" WON'T DO 1T

The daily press does not give la
boris side in industrial struggles.
The daily press backs the large
employers in every contest with la
Dor.
The daily press seeks to prejudice
the workers against their own inter.
ests-against organization.
Back your own press! This is
what the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor said
in its report, submitted to the con.
vention in San Francisco:
Unquestionably the newspaper is
the CHEZ literature of Americans. In
form, in method and in spirit it is
adapted to the needs of the times.
rhe paper habit has become so firm
ly established as a national custom
that every cause must have the
means of publicity. 1t is the only
way to get the news quickly and sure
ly to those who must be reached.
Ire policy of the paper depends usu-
ally upon the motive in the managing
room. The ordinary daily paper is
published for profit. There may be
ideals in the editorial room and scat
tered among the reporters, but these
may be- Eheckmated at any time by
the decisions from the managing
room based upon the balance sheet.
STRUGGLE AGAINST ODDS
These conditions mean that the
cause of the people is often neglected
to make room for the special inter
ests for those who can afford to pay.
They mean that news will be edited,
suppressed, perverted-for those who
will pay. The cause of the toilers,
the wronged of humanity, fails to
secure space if its publication affects
profits.
These conditions make labor pa
pers necessary and they have strug-

From out the rudy glow of this

born, more despicable than any yet
devised by the master classes. Anew
militaristic slavery Is slyly superim
posing itself upon the already bleed

With excuses here and sophistry
there and blatant humbug every
where, this new. thing Is already stu
pefying the human mind. Some So
cialists even, touched by the cries OF
suffering Belgium, have succombed
and have gone over boot and baggage
to the camp of the cut-throats.

now will come compulsory military

The teachers, the text books, and the

chinery of education is at the beck

TO the crushing hysteria of their
present educational examining, they
will now add the nightmare of juve-

In 1913. when conditions were nor
NAL, about $125.2SO.00O worth of com;

farmers paid s4s.SSO.OO0 for nitrogen
GUS substances, S56,0O0,OO0 for phos-

Practically all the potash salts were
