"CONTENTNIENT."

Contentnent has always been preached by those in power to thoae WEo were suffering under a system of class government The ch2ttel slave owner told his slave to be contendcd with. their lot, that 1t could not be changed The feud- al baron informed his scrfs that Goo had ordanied that he should be their master, and they would fly in the face oi divine providence if they were not contantcd with their lot.
 The noderl capitalist, George Baer, during the coal strike of 1902, stated, God in His Infinite wisdom has gwen the control of the property interests of this country into the hands of the Christian gentlemen who now posses them, and it i5 to them the workers must apply fer any improvement of con ditions Instead of to the agitators who foment discontent and discord among the people,"
 We see here again the preaching of contentment to the lave. Slavery will continue only as the slaves are content to allow it. Be con tented, says the Lion to the Lamb, and forthwith the lamb becomes mutton.
 Discontent is the mother of pro gress. It is discontentment with the existing conditions that has eau ed every forward step in the progress of the huE.an race. If we had remained satisfied with oXcarts, we would not have achiev- ed steam locomotion. Had we been contertcd with the Pony Express

messenger, the telegraph, tele- phone and wireless telegraphy would be unknown Were VIC con tei:ted with the scientific knowledge of the tenth century, we would still be living in comfortle:s huts aSd stone castles, stepped in ignorance and brutality, knowing nothing of the many comforts enjoyed tod4, and feeling none of the high ethiSl impulses that are permeatlng the minds of this generation.
 Cortertnent means stagnati1n. It is good for the capitalist to keep his slaves contented. Con teitment for the slave means per manent slavery. Let us hope for the slaves sake that we can make them discontonted.
 Be conservative" is also one of the capitalist commandments. We are lauded to the skies if we are conservative labor leaders, but called bad if we are radical. Con- servativc r.eans slow to change"
 If the slave is slow to change the methods under wlich he is en- slaved, he will stay enslaved a long time.
 We have it dinned into our ears from all the varied mUuthpiece, of the capitalist class. Be conse:va- tive It is good for the capital ist to keep brother labor as con scrvative as possible.

THE IGNORANCE OF THE
 UPPER CLASS.

The ignorance of the working class and the superior intelligence of the privileged are euperstitions are upeIstitions fastcred by in tellectual mercenaries, by univer- sities and churches, and by all the centers of privilege. And the as- sumption of superior intelligence on the part of the privileged is not warranted by a single historical experience.
 The Arrangements and miseries of mankind are precisely due to the ignorant and arrogant rule of ''su- perior' classes and persons.
 The mental and spiritual capa- city of these classes is a myth; their so-cGlled culture but thinly venecrs their essential savagery, their social rapaCity and impudence.
 The system that divides society iHto classe. can bring forth no true knowledge, no living truth, no in 1 dustrial competence. no fundament- al social decency It can only con tinue the desolation of labor and l increase the blindness and deprayity Of the privileged. So long as some people own the tools upon which others depend for bread, so long as the few possess themselves of , the fruits of the labor of the many, so long as the art and the institu- tions and the sciences are built upon exploited workers, just so long will our so-calied progress be through the perennial exhaustion of generations and races; just SO long vii. successive civilizations be put voracious parasites upon the spirit and body of mankind.
 And it is to destroy the domin- ance of the privileged class, to eli minate cla. ses from society that the Socialist movement comes; and if | it be true to itself, it will make no i compromise with the superstitions and institutions of privilege. It will affirm an eftectual faith in the self governing capacity of the work ors-m the wisdom hid in the heart of the cooperative nan.

WHO $ THE GOVERNMENT,
 MIR. MLOT?

The columns of this newspaper are open to the Lighterage Com pany to explain, if they can the de- tails of their claim of $944.00 for the use of their tug Gcnivieve for only thirty six hours by the Citi- zens ReheI Expedition.
 These colmlns are likewise free lY open to Mr. Milot to explain his remarkable reasons for refusing to allow either of the Nome news papers access to copy of the Light craze Conpany's claim. Mir. Milot is acting presumably for the citi- zens who had assumed charge of the tug to send her on her great mission. But Mir Milot says that the citizens were net entitled to know through their newspapers Just the details ol the Lighteragc Com pany's remarkable charges. He says that the people of Nome are not to pay the claim, hence he reasons, it $ now none of their business.
 But. according to him, the people of Alaska are to pay it. Mir. Mriot, please answer, ar'n't the people here. people of Alaska? He says that the claim is a just enc and he sees nothing wrong with it. Even so. is it not better for the Lighter age Company. since in that event they would have nothing to fear, that the people have the same right that you have?
 But suppose the claim is not a just enc. One man serving the peo- pie in public capacity, Captain Ross of the Coast Guards, who is in position to know, who has tech nical knowledge and proof on the matter, and a mar who enjoys the confidence of the public, says it is no. a just claim Suppose the Lighterage Company have delibe- ratcly falaifcd their claim, i. it any less theft if perpctrated or Inc people of Alaska than if it were the people of Nome wno are to get

stung?
 If the claim is just one then the sooner the people who are asking the newspapers, know as much about it, as you do, the better for the Ligbtera5e Company.
 To man up tree it would seem that the various monopolie,; en- joyed by them should afford them all the opportunities for high grading wi,ich they normally should require.
 Fortunately we were able to publish the itemized claim. Now let tn , people have your reasons for considering it just and right, Mr. Milot. The newspapers asked you very courteously to do this aud we will help you tell why you wished the matter repressed.
