According to an old-timc sketch
brought to light recently, cannon were
bored by means of a wooden lathe
driven by horse power.
The horse travelled in a circle in the
lower part of building. turning a
prodlglous axle, to the upper end Of
which crude but huge gear wheel
was attached. This propelled a smaller
pinion mounted near its periphery and
the piniOn in turn revolved Il chuck in
which one end of the cannon was at

The boring tool was advanced by a
man operating hand wheel at the

Another hand wheel on a small
travelling car about the lathe lowered
the cannon into place or removed it
when machined.

SOCIALISM AS \ CAUSE OF
 DIVORCE.

We have long suspected thi- since it is so consistently asserted that Socialism breaks up the home. That the tangible discovery has been so long delayed is remarkable when most anyone could have de duced it from the lives of such emil nent apostles of Socialism as Com rades Napoleon and Henry the Eight
 Then too. in our own time and right under our very eyes, nobody has been so addicted to the di- vorsn evil as have members of New Works Four Hundred, every one of whom is known to be a red card member of the Socialist Party in good standing.
 The unhappy smash up in the do- mcstic life of Comrade Harry Thaw wa, directly due to his fanatical adherence to the principles of ln- ternatiohal Socialism. and when one reflects upon the divorce scandals in such prominent Socialist families as the Gould, the Coreys and Van dcrbilts, not to mention the lament ed Comrade Astor, it is simply astounding that we did not perceive this before.
 Undoubtedly the American SO cialist movement is responsible for the spread Of the divorce plague abroad. Comrade Consuelo. Ouch es. of Marlborough, and Comrade Anna Gould, now Princess de Sagan arc known ot have gone to Europe several years afgo and to have be- gun an active propaganda of So cialism Comrade Nathaniel Good win is the most brilliant exponent of revolutionary Socialism in Am erica and Reno, Nevada, is a regu- lar hot-bed of the cult.
 In glaring contrast to the adult erous lives of these Sociali ts are those of such doughty champions of capitalism as Eugene V. Debs Victor Berger, Fred Warren and Emil Scidcl. whose marital expert Cnces extending over long years are marvels of domestic felicity.
 Now that tLe eau of divorce is definitely known it's eradication IS a simple task About all we will have to do is to suppress tho Social ;sts and there really aoems nothing very difficult about that

DEMOCRACY OF THE ARMY.

One incident at Camp Dcvcns, in Aver, Mass, which mas now reached civilian cars, should help somewhat toward making the new United States Army democratic. As the story has becn heard by outsiders while nearly all of the officers who nave come from the training camp
 in Plattsburg have been respected and liked, few have been regarded as martinets. A short time ago. a private passed one of these officers, lieutenant, without saluting. The Platt:burger at once called the mans attentiCn to the fact, and the private apologized, explained that he was a raw recruit and was thinking Of som ething else at the moment, and promised that he would net again fail in showing proper coui tcSy.
 But the lieutenant, as the report goes, saw fit to impress the lessen on the new arrival more fo, ccfully, and ordered him to make amends, on the spot, by saluting 200 times. The soldier began his task, but the officer, in his haste, had set rather high figure, and, after a few mi nutes, many other men of the camp had come along and stopped to watch the performance. When quite a company had collected, a colonel came that way and paused to learn wkat was going on After hearing the lieutenant's report, the superior officer ked the private for his yer sion. Upon hearing it, the colonel, turning again to the ieiuteGant, in quired, And when a private salutes you, what do you do?" "I return it," was the reply. The colonel then quickly concluded ihs own part in the incident, which one the whole must have been quite entertaining to the bystarders, by saying, Re turn the salutcs."

tiohs of abstract right and wrong which exist nowhere else and are certainly unknown to the con sciOusncSS of the capitalist class, CT that of any other class that has ever ruled.
 Now whatever we may expect ultimately | am first of all not try ing to build a society without rul- CTS. On the contrary I have in mind as first consideration the ab:olute and iron rule of the world by labor.
 After all is said and done, de- mocracy itself is a cock rach philo- sophy lay.ng it's origin and devel- opment contempCraneous with the rise and accession to power of the bourgeoiSe. It proved exceedingly useful to that class who chose to pit its shrewdness and cunning against tn traditional rule of the monarchs and the nobility. But what can democracy mean so far as labor IS concerned? Equality of opportun- ity at best can mean but the special opportunity of the few who are shrewdest and most cunning. In the quaint folklore of Andausia there is q proverb that "In the land Of the Blind the One-Eyed is King" Likewise with a democracy. And yet the workers are mislead by no mere slluring ideals than democracy; y;-brotherhood, ad nau- scum.
 It have mentioned it only the better to show that brotherhood is false and begulving ideal and { tends to obscure the mind of the worker to the overwhelming ad- vantage solely in his own hands, in this neglected fact That he is at | all times, day and night, in actual, physical and sole possession of all | CdpltaI ana or all Wealtn Opefateu as such, including all the products of his own hands-foods. viands and what not, down to the very mouth of the waiting customer. The worker is in position, if he but realized it, to strangle the balance of mankind into submission to the domination of the world hy those who work. Frankly my energies in life are bent upon having him realize jut that, and if ] lacked justification I can think of no more
 iustifiable thing than the dominion of the earth by those who do all its useful, all its necessary, and all of it's beautiful work.
 That is to be had only through conquest. and we must fight. Our mission then i an utterly merciless one. We should therefore sound the delqucllo. mo quarter" down with Capitalism and all it's gods!

 The truth about the wealth of the world is that it has never been paid for
 The truth about surplus value is it is the real robber.
 The truth about Labor is that it leads a lemon life.

 The truth of about the jail is that the big criminals is outside of it. The truth about the class struggle is that it is the SUPREME fact of out time and the GREAT WORLD ISSUE. The truth about the Preletarian Revolution is that it will transfer the ruling powers from the hands of the Bourgeoise to the working class. The truth about some people is that they don't know and don't want to know, and condemn every thing on general principles.
 The truth regarding electricians is that when they strike all the gilt ter of gold splendor of the capital ist class can not light up a city.
