A BREAKUP OF
THE PARTIES

Political observers are constantly
predicting that the two leading politi-
cal parties of the nation are soon GO
ing to smash. Some people feel that
the time is now ripe for a third party
movement They believe that the
more radical element of both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties will
make common cause, and create 4
old original organizations mere mi
norities. Yet similar predictions have
been made many times before and
always came to naught.
1t is a great deal easier for progress
sive men to obtain control of an exist
ing party organization and persuade
the rank and file of the par.Y to
adopt their point of view thar to
break up an organization that has
lasted many years and to which great
masses of voters feel an affinity
The Progressive party started in
1912 under Theodore Roosevelt had a
better chance of becoming a majority
organization than any third ,drty
movement started since the I.epuhli-
can party was born. 1t had ole of
the most popular and gifted leaders
in American history. Yet within a
single presidential term it went to
pieces, and it's constituency lined up
with the organizations from which
they originally came.
Some persons dream of a time when
all the good people will be lined up in
one party, to make common cause
against the knaves and rogues. That
day will never come. The good peo-
pie are vastly in the majority, but
they honestly differ as to fundamental
policies of government. Both parties
contain good men and both always
will.
Every good citizen should align
himself with the party whose policy
seems to him the wisest and sound
est. But he need not feel that his
party has any monopoly of the virtue
or the good feeling.-Elko Free Press.

A DENTIST DOES
NOT FIGHT FAIR

This scribe has had occasion to
fight several rounds with dentists
ever and anon, and we got the worst
of it every round. The doctor did
not fight fair and no dentist ever does.
He pays no attention to Marquis of
Huckleberry rules. He cinches a fell
low up in a chair with a curb bit
which does not even permit of pro-
family or any other brand of CONVEX
sation, and then he uses all kinds OF
Knockout drops and dope, and comes
at a fellow with a boring device that
makes a million revolutions a minute
and feels just like a tunneling ma
chine going through a range of noun
tains.
He undertook to kill our nerve in
the last round, not realizing what a
s~tupendous job it is to massacre the
nerve of an editor, but by getting a
Japanese strangle-hold on the nerve
he finally succeeded in throwing it to
the ground and beating it to death
with a club.
And now we are ~nerveless, and
suppose any old delinquent SUBJ
scriber or politician can come in here
and call us a liar or any other old
thing.

PROGRAM FOR
THE OVERTHROW

If you do hot believe that there is
a deliberate propaganda to bring
about an industrial revolution in u
country and Russianize our institu-
tons read the following excerpts
from the official bulletin of the In
dustrial Workers of the World. There
are AGO publications of this organiza-
ton scattered from hand to hand
among the workers in large industrial
centers from British Columbia to the
Mexican line in all Western states.
The following is from the I.W.W.
Official Bulletin, Fresno, California:
Organize and put the boss in a
pair of overalls. The six-hour day
looks good to the worker and like
hell to the boss. Boost for the six
hour day. The earth and the fullness
thereof belong to the workers! Or
ganize and take them.
Organize and get the six-hour day.
Organize and free the class-war pris-
oners. Organize and get better
wages, hours and conditions. Organ
ize and take over the mines for the
workers and put the masters to work.
IF you strike against the masters
and lose. go back on the job and or
ganize your strength for another bat
tie and strike again and again. Capt.
talism in Europe is slowly dying and
the workers are being driven into the
streets to fight the police powers of
the dying states behind the barbados.
1t is inevitable that the same condi-
lions will arise in this country. pu.
We have more time in which TO pre-
pare for the cataclysm. Prepare now.
Build your Industrial ~organiza-
tons now and it will lessen the snoek
of revolution and facilitate the taking
over of the means of production and
distribution of the needs of life by the
workers when capitalism falls.
Industry cannot be run without
the Industrial Union. Build the In
dustrial Union now and you will not
have to build it in the chan, and
anarchy and disorder that will oilow
in the train of revolution"
