"The Weyerhauser Timber

"The Weyerhauser Timber
company now owns 1,945 900
acres of land. In Florida 1872
holders have 16, 900 900 acres of
land, of which 100000 acres
are owned by only three holders.
Finally, the timber holdings of

Der land" so says the Report of
the u. S. Commissioner of La
Dor for 1913. All of which shows
who it is that owns the valuable
land in this country.
In Great Britain the govern
ment conducts a life insurance
business through the postoffice
department. However, the old
line companies influenced legis-
lation so that the governemnt is
forbidden to advertise or call at
tention to it's insurance, and,
as a consequence the Insurance
is divided. Here we see the res
ult of the activities Of the pro-
fiteering Big Biz bunch in. a for
eign country.
In Australia banking is a gov
eminent mOnOnOlv. As q result:
it is the only government in the
world that is not in debt. The
banking system has been in OPP
Grafton for IL years and during
that time the government has
not borrowed a penny. Here is
one of Townley's> "socialistic"
principles which is past the the
Dry stage and is a reality and is
a'great benefit to the people.
New Zealand has a fire in
surance department and also
conducts life insurance. An
other "socialistic" move which
has proven it's worth.
In his Cincinnati speech of
September II, 1859, Abraham
Lincoln said, y hold that if
there is any one thing that can
be proved to be the will of heav-
ep by external nature around
U.S., without reference to revela-
ton, it is the proposition that
whatever any one man earns
with his hands and by the sweat
of his brow, he shall enjoy in
peace. l say that whereas God
Almighty has given every man
one mouth to be fed, and one
pair of hands adapted to furnish
food for that mouth, if anything
can be proved to be the will of
heaven, it is proved by the fact
that that mouth is to be fed by
those hands, without being in

terfered with by another. man,
who has also his mouth to feed
and his hands to labor with.
+ II hold, if the Almighty has
ever made a set of men that
should do all the eating and
none of the work, he would have
made them with mouths only,
and no hands; and if He had ev-
err made another class that he
intended to do all the work and
none of the eating, He would
have made them without mouths
and with all hands. But mas
much as He has not chosen to
make men that way if anything
is proved, it is that those hands
and mouths are to be co-operat-
i've through life and not to be
interfered with" This is an
excerpt from a speech by the
greatest of American presidents
which the Big Biz bunch do not
mention and publish because it
don't listen good to those para
sites.
Theodore Roosevelt always
made a greater noise about bust
ing trusts but James R. Day,
while president Of the Syracuse
university said Zone Of the most
serious things, so far as con-
Germs the relation of the admin
istration of the administration
to the trusts, is the fact that
President Roosevelt has actually
accomplished no reform. He
has not 'busted" a single trust.
He has sent no offenders to
prison. He has done nothing to
improve any Of the conditions,
he has so severely criticised,
but has only bluffed the coun-
try. The trusts are not alarmed
and all of them are still doing
business at the old stand.". All
OF which proves that Mr.. ROose-
velt's noise about "busting''
trusts was all gas"
Several years ago Leslie M.
Shaw, Secretary of the United
States Treasury under Theodore
Roosevelt, made the following
statement in an address to the
students of Chicago university,
"The factories are multiplying
faster than our trade, and we
will shortly have a surplus,
with no one at home to absorb
it, because the laborer has not
been paid enough to buy what
he created. . :. . What will
happen then? Why these men
will be turned out of the factor

dreds of thousands. They will
find themselves without food.

JEWISH ELEMENT CONTROLS
SITUATION IN CABINET

WASHINGTON. Nov. lot was
considered in diplomatic circles today
that the provisional cabinet as an
nounced by the Maximalist- -BolsheHki
faction indicates control by the Jew
ish element. With the exception of
Lenjne. all the ministers are said to
be Jews.
This Is the first time the Jews have
assumed open control. While it is
true that some Of the members of the
ministry under the Kerensky regime
were Jews, and Jews have figured in
Russian revolutions for many years,
it is apprehended here that their
renewal of the old Anti-Semitic feel
ing which may end in civil war
Ambassador Bakmeteff returned to
washington this morning and an
nounced he would issue a statement
later in the day. It was said at the
Russian embassy that no news had
been received from Russia for sew

MOSCOW IN REVOLT
fRy Associate.l Press

An Immediate armistice of three
months will be offered by the Maxim
alist government of Petrograd. Dur
ing this time. Nikolai Lenine, leader
of the Maximalists, plans that repre-
sentatives elected by the people Of all
nations will settle the questions of
peace. Lenine's government is willing
to consider proposals for just peace
from either side.
Moscow, the ancient capitol Of Rus.
sia, is reported to have gone over to
the Ievolutionists. The garrison has
supported the revolutionary govern
ment in taking over the government
offices. Conditions in Moscow and
Petrograd are reported to be quiet.
The BolsheYiki element in the peas
ants congress and the workmeus' and
soldiers organizations is meeting with
opposition from members of the Pet
rogra1 municipal council and the Min
imalists. The opposing factions will
not acknowledge the authority of the
Maximalists and are said to be plan
ming an appeal to the Russian nation
regarding the Petrograd revolt. A
cabinet has been named by the Boil
sheyiki with Lenine as premier.
Order kerensky's Arrest.
As yet no clashes between the Max
imalists and the supporters of the Ke-
rensky cabinet are reported and the
whereabouts of Kerensky is still in
doubt. The revolutionary committee
has ordered that the former premier
be arrested and imprisoned with the
other ministers now in the fortress in
Petrograd. Lenine also has given in
structions that his forces shall move
against any soldiers supporting Ke-
rensky and has appealed to the rail-
road men not to transport kerensky
adhcrents
1t is not clear whether the Russian
armies as whole have accepted the
new government, but 1t is reported
that some units have gone over to the
revolutionary side. All available Rus.
sian adEices, except reports from Ger
many. must come through Petrograd
end even these have not indicated
any great rush to the revolutionary
leaders from the soldiers outside Pet
rograd and Moscow.
The Russian war office has not IS
sued an official statement for several
days. Berlin, in its statement, how
ever, mentions no great activity in
eastern fronts and there are no re-
ports that the Austro-Germans have
taken advantage of the disorder in
Petrograd to make a determined at
tack at vital points between the Bal
tic and Black seas. A report from
Copenhagen says the Germans have
occupied the GLAND Islands at the en-.
trance to the Gulf Of Bothnia, which
lies between sweden and Finland

OF Socialism Nature.
The charges printed on these cards
were Of a radically Socialistic nature.
Chief McNally has not been able to
ascertain where they were printed. No
arrests had been made up to noon
Saturday
It is the opinion Of Chief McNally
that one Of the motives of the men
who distributed the cards was the
hope that the newspapers would give
full publicity to the scurriloHs attack
made upon the country's defenders.
Although pro-Germ&n propaganda
has been active in Richmond for some
time the action taken last night in
the distribution of anti-military litera-
ture is the boldest yet undertaken by
these propagandists.
The attack made upon the military
branch follows closely in the wake of
a determined pro-German crusade to
defeat the recent food conservation
movement IN Richmond.
