OBSERVATIONS.
JUPITER'S

The business of governing requires
no special talent, for any clique OF
blatherskites can manage those who
are willing to be governed.
Statesmen never order soldiers to
shoot capitalists. Why? Because
capitalists replenish statesmen's ex-
chequers.
Administering the Lords supper is
wasteful activity; the sacrament is
nonsensicaL
Merchants make false entries in
customers accounts and invoke the
Man of Nazareth for an infusion of
goodness!
The dead are more active than the
living, hence praying at the grave
side is futile.
He who aff1rms that workers and
masters have no grounds for antag-
onism knows no more about the la
Dor world than a kangaroo knows
about the kind of life that existed be-
fore the glacial epoch.
Scofing at patriotism is token of
intelligence, for the love of cash
prompts the patriot to shrek about
the love of country.
The discussion of God is barren of
results.
Dealers pray for spiritual uplift and
dye old beef to give it fresh appear
ance
Questioning the gospel of quietism

is proper, for calmness under oppres-
sion is cowardice.
He is devoid of judgment who af-
firms that the baptismal service is
needful; children have no sin at birth
from which to be cleansed.
Reason and experience before faith
and tradition.
Workers who enthuse over war are
traitors to themselves, for war makes
labor poorer and capital richer.
UNFOLDING the competitive system
is damnable. Why? Because an en-
vironment of happiness for the indus
trial class is impossible of actualiza-
ton under existing arrangements.
Traders pay girls less than living
wage and sing hymns of glorification
to the Lamb of Cod
A legal tribunal is not a humane
tribunal, for judges and magistrates
are infamed by hatred of labor.
Women in authority are no i'm
provement on men in authority.
He should be made to bite the dust
who advises Wage-salves to salute the
flag, for the latter protects adven-
turers whose operations in the COM
mercial realm are unparalleled in
atrociousness.
Aspiring to a business career is re-
grettable, for honorable activity is
disfavored in a commercial house.
