Kingdom GOuIds Exemption Claim.

Let it be said at that snap criticism Of who

If he asks exemption He may be doing his duty in making
such claim
But in the case of MI Gould it seems that sensed
the meaning Of the derisve smiles which went the round
when the fact that he had asked exemption the ground
of dependency published He FASTENED TO state that
he nowhere nearly well fixed financially

FROM ~AN ENEMY WITHIN

FROM "AN ENEMY WITHIN"
Editor FL Paso Herald
have been somewhat surprised at
your article headed "Our Enemies
Within" and I wondered whether the
Socialist party was paying 20 get
those things printed IN q paper that 7
believed did not subscribe to the So
ciaiist theory OF the public owner
ship Of the things we collectively use
and the private ownership of the
things privately used" which I be-
lieve is as near the definition Of the
Socialist theory Of economies as any
one has ever given it,
Of course all Socialists are enemies
TO the present order OF things and the
chaotic conditions i'm which they find
the world. and 30 is all right TO call
them The Enemy Within but 20
call them prO-Germau or url-auythiug
that is in vogue today is hardly fair.
1neE are not prO-kaiser. prO-cZar,
pro-ROOSeVelt or prO-Taft. They come
nearer being pro- Wilson than any
thing else. because their vote elected
him To office last fall because they
believed he had kept us out of war
with Mexico, and I believe he Will
keep us out or any great war with
Germany, at least the German papers
say they won't fight the American
troops on the battle front and that
they Will fight them no place except
on the sea and then only when they
are bringing fOOdstuff for the war.
