Obituary
Sunbeam

Again has the death angel visited
our community and taken for its
victim little Jay, youngest son of
Mr.. Berlin Gutshall.
Jay was born May 3, 1916, was
9 months and II days old, died
February Is, 1917, at the home of
Mrs. Viola Fulton, who since the
death of his mother had been TAX
ing care of him.
Since birth he had been afflicted
with the dreaded disease, tubercu-
| losis. At times it seemed he would
outgrow the disease and the hearts
of the fond father and friends we're
buoyed up by hope that he would
be spared, but few months since
it was seen that the little bud must
perish. All that physician and
kind friends could do was futile.
Dear friends, weep not for little
jay; he is free from pain, and
has only gone to mamma over CD
that happy shore.
Burial services were conducted
by Rey. Piercy, and his remains
were laid to rest in the mclaughlin
grave yard to await the resurrec-
ton.
Our little darling now is gone,
His tiny spirit fled,
The little darling loved so we'll
Is sleeping with the dead
God needed one more angel child.
Amidst his shining band
And so He bent with loving smile
And clasped our darling's hand.
The little crib is empty now
The little clothes laid by
A fathers pride and mothers Joy
In death cold arms doth lie.
Go little Jay to thy home
On wonders blissful shore
We miss you here, but soon will
come
Where Mammals gone before.

the aftermath of the war will be realized in all it's beauty, Further more the longer the war lasts, the greater the debt which will be owing. the lcngcr period will be covered by obligations to pay and the mere intensified will be the exploitation of labor.
 Here is therefore the intimate connection between questions Of modern finance and the labor pro- b!nm. It $ why those who have TO money must take an interest in the financial question. And it is why. as far as the war is concerned, 1t is the question of supreme i'm pGrtanCC.
 it would require prophet of sorts to attempt to predict what Will be the result of the altered condition of modern industry after .ho war. We have said that the present system is smashing before our eyes. It is Inquesticn- ably so. The result will depend upcn many rcumstances, but upon none so adequately and effectively as upon the fact that this war wifi be fought to a finish.
 it is in the fighting of this war to a conclusive victory one way or another as far as the belligerents are concerned, that will determine the work that is to be done after the war. If however thanks to the short sighted offices of pacificists the war is to result in premature peace and the world return to the sordid conditions prior thereto, the world will go back to the same ill., dustrial conditions. with Dosterlty pawned to pay, and to be rrepa,ed for a renew al of the conflict at some later date.
 The optimism that holds that this will be the last war and tbereVron urges a nasty peace by reverting to the status quo ante, with the a"1- bilious and ilnp2rialiatic designs of the nations literally bounded by nc limits, is simply the folly of the child chasing the foolish visions "f childhood.
 Give the capitalist system war enough and rope enough end it will remove itself finally from th s unhappy Vale of Tears.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-10-15

Therefore it is from the product of that labor that all the obliga- tions of government will be raid
 This will necessitatc the ftc that labor will after as well as during the war have to be supcr-acliVe in industry in every nation. Only from it's activity will the wealth that is to pay off the expenses of this war ultimately come.
 No matter how much would be taken from the profteers, there would still be an irsuffcicncy to meet present time obligations. This is the most costly law in the his tory of the world because the most destructive
 The wealth used up by Unproduc- tive labor in the manufacture and use of munitions is not itself the most marked feature. The food, clothing and equipment, the shelter. the supplies, the hospital treatment, the transportation of many millions of men whose pursuit in life what ever else it be, is marked by one prominent characteristic, that of being absolutely unproduGtive. makes such demands upon the na- tional wealth as to mean that the nations cannot meet it from day to day and from year to year with out mortgaging the future labor productivity.
 After the war we presume that the profit system will be maintain, cd. Then after the war the nations proceed to produce wealth for them selves. But they will find that the weight of taxation makes such in roads upon ;heir industrial opera tions that they will have to take into consideration plans of meeting it.
 A man works say eight hours a day. During the first hour he pro duecs approximately the cost of his own labor, his wages. The other seven hours belong to the owner of the machinery who gives him work. The owner thereupOn finds that he has to pay so much for rent so much for interest and so much ! for taxes and SC much for profits
 The landlord if there is one has i to pay more taxes and he does that l by increasing the rent the banker l who loans money to the industrial owner finds that he has increased taxes and he makes the owner of | The owner of the machinery does not want his profits diminished but still he has fixed sum, the pro duct of seven hours labor hired to pay the increased taxes, the in. creased rent and the increased in. tcrest. Wherefore he can recour himsclf only by lowering the wage scale CT by speeding up or by lengthening the work day or by al three.
 To meet the increased taxation any way. the workers will find that they vii, have to submit t0 an in te1sifed form of exploitation.
 That $ to say. presuppO5ing that they will submit It is here where
