mary Workers strike and who was
afterwards jailed by the Chamber of
Commerce through their special
prosecutor Ashe, has been gotten out
of Jail by District Attorney Fickert,
in consideration of his giving Fickert
a statement involving Tom Mooney!
Patterson has confessed that Fickert
dictated to him letter which he
later mailed to Fickert containing
a statement that Tom Mooney was
going to blow up the Jail! You will
remember that some months ago a
negro convict, Charles Organ, con
fessed that detectives had hired him
to say that Mooney had hired him
to blow up the Liberty Bell!
In order to keep down the scandal
Of Patterson's confession, Fickert let
the gunman out of Jail and haf
him repudiate the statement given
to the defense.
Labor Jury Watches Trial
There are two juries watching
Rena Moneys trial. One is drawn
from a picked list of taxpayers and
from which union men are rigidly
excluded. The other is composed of
six women who are determined to
see that Rena Mooney gets square
deal, and seven union men, one of
them being sent by the federated
unions of Miami, Arizona.
Their appearance in court has ex-
cited much comment. The Hearst
news agency has been polling the
opinion of representative union and
professional men, all over the coun-
try, and it has been widely approved
Of by the men and women of pro
gressive thought.
Two Things Must Be Done
l. The Federal Government Must
stop these five contemplated muir
ders. Every individual and every
organization should petition his local
congressman, senator and the Depart
ment of Justice, Washington, D. e
to institute federal investigation
at once.
2. Adequate funds MUST be sent
to. the defense.
Funds can be sent to the Inter
national Workers Defense League,
30 Russ Building, San Francisco, or
to Paul Scharrenberg, Secretary of
the California State Federation of
Labor, 525 Market St., San Fran

THE RED CROSS
kks il Ega
Il

The grand drive to raise money
for financing the Red Cross is
about to begin. There is no holier
cause to which any one can con-
tribute money which will be spent
in the relief of human suffering
The country is at war. Those of
her citizens who will do the fight
ing will go into battle with lighter
hearts if they feel that those they
left at home are giving of their
bounty to relieve suffering and
make lighter their task.
Who can feel the JOY of wound
ed soldier on the field Of battle
when he beholds the Red Cross,
that emblem of love and mercy, and
realizes that loving hearts and will
ing hands are coming to his relief
1t is the mission of the Red Cross
to soften the hardships and dispel
what it can of the horrors of war.
Therefore, brothess, give what you
can spare to the Red Gross and
when you have learned the wonder
full works of mercy performed by
that organization you will have a
feeling that you contributed to make
that work possible. You will feel
that you never before gave aid to
a worthier cause.
A cup of water to a wounded
soldier is to him more precious
than pure gold. He will feel that
while men make war for gain, there
is yet left in humanity kindness,
brotherly love and mercy.

THE LIBERTY BOND
GOOD INVESTMENT

A Non-TaXable Liberty Loan Bond,
paying 31a per cent, is a better in
vestment than any other bond bear
ing 1a per cent interest. Beside you
hold the interest in your own coun-
try and help to fight her battles.
America is in the war and only one
outcome can be considered possible
by Americans. That is victory. 20
achieve victory the country must fur
nish the sinews of war With vic
tory will come peace and therefore
each purchaser of a Liberty Loan
Bond may be considered an agent OF
peace.
The Use Of the Liberty Loan
To the American citizen who gives
some consideration to features of his
investments other than the mere
money return from them, the uses to
which the money raised by the sale
of the Liberty Loan Bonds is to be
devoted will prove a patriotic induce
ment to purchase such bonds A
certain dignity attaches to money
investment in high and noble cause.
The Liberty Loan is made by the
United States Government to pur-
chase arms and equipment for
American soldiers and sailors, food
and supplies for the American Army
and Navy. The money is to be
spent in America for those Ameri-
cans who are fighting Americas bat
ties on land or sea.
Part Of the money raised by the
sale of Liberty Loan Bonds is to
be loaned to our allies; this is to
be expended in America. 1t is to be
spent for food and supplies for the
Armies Of cur allies fighting on our
side on the various war fronts in
Europe. 1t is Americas first con-
tribution towards doing her part in
the war we are engaged in.
1t is billions for defense in the
world-war Autocracy is waging
against Democracy, but not one cent
for tribute.
The Fifty Dollar Bond
In issuing Liberty Loan Bonds in
denomination as small as $50 the
Secretary of the United States Treas
ury has put it in the reach of almost
every American citizen to do a real
and actual service to his country
Not all can fight, not all can
render personal service in other
ways, but those who are denied the
privilege Of serving their country in
person have the privilege of serving
her by lending their money to win
her victories.
But it is not patriotism alone that
urges the buying of Liberty Loan
Bonds. Thrift and wise economy
in investing small savings commend
, these Liberty Loan Bonds to small
investors. They are safe, and con-
sidering their tax-free quality-free
I from all federal, state and local taxes
inheritance taxes excepted) and free
from any war tax that may hereafter
be eXcepted) and free from any war
tax that may hereafter be levied
affording an absolutely net income
of 31a per cent, they constitute an
ideal investment for savings.
Nor is there any reason for wait
ing for a later bond issue in the
expectation of a higher rate of in
terest being obtained, for the law
provides that should such bonds be
issued later, Liberty Loan Bonds
may be exchanged for them at par

WHAT RUSSIA WANTS
is THE SINGLE TAX
SYSTEM ADOPTED

No revolution in Russia can ever
permanently succeed without the
adoption of the single tax program.
This was the judgment declared be-
fore his death by Count Leo Toll
stoy, and now more than ever of
interest.
The following is from an author
lied interview with Herman Bern
stein, given by the great Russian
writer and philosopher on July goth,
1908. The interview was originally
printed in the New York Times.
Bernstein is reporting his conversa-
ton with Tolstoy.
"He asked me about my impress
sions of Russia, and particularly
about the popularity of Henry
Georges works in America. Nearly
80 years ago. he went on slowly,
the great question that occupied all
minds in Russia was the emancipa-
ton of the serfs. The burning ques-
ton now is the ownership of land.
The peasants never recognized the
private ownership of land. They say
that the land belongs to God. l
am afraid that people will regard
what | say as stupid, but | must say
it: The leaders of the revolutionary
movement, as we'll as the government
officials, are not doing the only
thing that would pacify the people
at once. And the only thing that
would pacify the people now is the
introduction of the system of Henry
George.
GAS I have pointed out in my
Introductory note to the Russian YER
sion of Social Problems" Henry
Georges great idea, outlined so
clearly and so throughly more than
30 years ago, remains to this day
entirely unknown to the great ma
iority of the people. This is quite
natural. Henry's Georges idea,
which changes the entire system in
the life of nations in favor of the
oppressed, voiceless majority, and to
the detriment of the ruling minority.
is so undeniably convincing, and,
above ALL so simple, that it is i'm
possible not to understand it, and
understanding it, it is impossible not
to make an effort to introduce it
and to pass it in silence. And this
has been true of the Henry George
theory for more than 30 years. 1t
has been both perverted and passed
in silence, so that it has become diff
ficult to induce people to read his
work attentively, and to think about
it. Society does with ideas that dis
turb its peace-and Henry George
is one of these-exactly what the
bee does with the worms which it
considers dangerous but which it is
powerless to destroy. 1t covers their
nests with wax, so that the worms,
even though not destroyed, cannot
multiply and do more harm. Just
so the European nations act with re-
gard to ideas that are dangerous
to their order of things, or, rather,
to the disorder to which they have
grown accustomed Among these are
also the ideas of Henry George. "But
light shines even in the darkness,
and the darkness cannot cover it."
A truthful, fruitful idea cannot be
destroyed. However you may try
to smother it, it will still live; it
will be more alive than all the
vague, empty, pedantic ideas and
words with which people are trying
to smother it, and sooner or later
the truth will burn through the veil
hat is covering it and it will shine

BILL RARIDEN
MAKES M'CARTY'S
SHOES FIT HIM

Recent records Of the National,
league show that Bill Harden OF the
New York Giants Is leading his team
mates at bat with q percentage Of .3i1
and Is in eighth place in the league.
Rariden started the season as Soc
ond. string catcher of the Giants, be-
ing considered a weak hitter.
When Lew McCarty broke his leg
early in the season Rariden was push
ed into the f1rst position and 1t was
up to him to make good.
In the field Rariden was always
considered as capable a catcher as
'McCarty and just how well he has
held up his end at bat ia shown by
the record.
McGraw has been particularly for
tunate in having his second string
catchers come to life when the regu-
lar was unfit for duty.

the world series of 1918 Art Wilson
and Larry Mclean hlled in and play

What are the chances OF the Reds?
This is the Notwithstanding the
baseball world as the clubs are
rounding the turn for the final drive
on the stretch, with the Giants some
eight games gu n front.
Let us look into the chances Of
Matty's outfit to play for the big
money this October.
Eight games at this point is a con-
siderable margin, especially when the
referred to are playing about
the same kind Of baseball.
It means that the club eight games
behind must not only win every time
the other club wins, but that 1t must
play enough better ball to win eight
games while the other club is losing
eight.
The Giants have been playing .8s7
ball this season. So far there has
been nothing to indicate they will
drop; If the Giants continue playing
.667 ball the Reds face the hopeless
task OF playing $50 ball to catch
them.
But there are two or three condi-
tons which favor the Reds in the
final drive ~
They have about go games to play
