L W. WIS WOULD
 RULE THE WORLD

w. H. Burges, chief of counsel fo he defense in the Wooten case a Tombstone, read to the jury what h declared were the constitution of tn and one of its text books 'the I. w. w.; Its History, Structur and Methods" by Vincent St. John.
 Some Striking Passages. Some of the more striking passage read by MT. Burges follows:
 "The working class and the em- ploying class have nothing in com mon. Between these two classes a struggle must go until the workers of the world organize as a class, that the possession of the earth and the machinery of pro- duction, and abolish the wage sys- tenn"
 "Instead of the conservative motto, "a fair days wages for a fair days work we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watchword, abolition of the wage system.'
 "As revolutionary organiza- tion, the Industrial Workers of the World aims to use any and all tactics that will get the results sought with the least expenditure of time and energy. The tactics used are determined solely by the powerful organization to make good in their use. The question of right and wrong does not concern us.
 Failing to force concessions from the employers by the strike, work is resumed and sabotage is used to force the employers to concede the demands of the work CTS.
 Interference by the govern ment is resented by open violation of the governments order, going to jail en masse, causing expense to the taxpayers-which is but another name for the ruling class.
 "In short, the l. w. w. advo- cates the use of militant direct action to the full extent of our power to make good.
 "We are looking forward to the time when the organized proie- tariat will meet in their union the world over 'and decide how long they will work and how much of the wealth they produce they will give to the boss"

StOrekeeper Buys Stock Keeps It for Forty Years.

OMAHA.-Forty years ago, just as the city of Lowell, Neb., which was then at the end of the railroad and had 5000 inhabitants, was about to lose it's importance because of the extension of the railroad, shopkeeper had the poor judgment to lay in complete stock of goods. The stock is still there, for the disgusted owner shut up the store and has never since opened it for business. Lowell now is popu- lated by fewer than thirty persons.

Poet Yegg Goes to Jail; Was Shy $5,OOO Bail.
 NEW YORK.-The alleged "rhym- ing robber," James Smith, who is said to have quoted poetry to baker while he rified the cash register, was given poetic justice today when Magis- trate William A. Sweetser pronounced the following lyric judgment:
 l hold you in five thousand bail, Which means you go right back to
 jail;
 But ere you go just let me say This hOld-up game-it doesn't pay.
 In this poetic disposition of his case the prisoner promptly responded:
 It's all right, judge, I'm on my way {;
 Your verdict means I'm going away.
 And the magistrate replied:

Will Prices
 Go Down?

The most discussed and vital question with all of us just now is that of prices-Wl they go down and if so, when?
 It will come but not to pre-war basis-Prices were going up before the war at the rate of three per cent year-From 1913 to now the increase would be about twenty per cent
 When prices drop the value of the dollar will rise Debts contracted now with purchasing power of 50 cents will be paid for with money worth perhaps 100 cents Likewise money saved now will purchase more after defaton sets in.

schools. Four years ago we had only
eleven classified schools. Glendale

Equip Armory
For Athletics

Wahpeton's boys and girls are to
be given opportunity to spend one
or more evenings a week in healthy
recreation, giving outlet to the red
blood that is the heritage of youth.
A committee comprising G. G.
Bugbee, Alvin Meyer, G. H. Reeder,
H. w Rife and R. T. Barber, chair
man, reported to. the Commercial
Club Monday night arrangements
had been made to secure the armory
from the present time till April 1
for the purpose. It is admirably
suited in having capacious floor
surface and basement. Rev. Berg
man of the Congregational church
was instrumental in securing the ac-
tion, and will have charge of the
evenings when the youngsters gather
assurance they will be in capable
hands. Mr.. Bergman has had ex-
perience of this kind in Chicago. He
is an enthusiast on the idea the boy
of today is the man of the future,
and that as his youth is moulded
and finally formed will he become
good citizen and render valuable
services to society. AS a means to
that end he believes in clean sports
and athletic vent to the boys inher-
ent propensity to blow off steam.
And as his leisure is occupied in
appropriate and congenial surround
ings will it conduce to make him
clean and wholesome. More power
to- Rev. Bergman, is the wish of
The Farmer.
Equipment for basket ball, hand
ball or indoor baseball will be pro-
vided by the Commercial Club. The
present arrangement thought of is
an evening for the Boy Scouts. Two
additional boys clubs, one to include
boys from IL to Is years of age, and
one of boys Is to 1S years, will
share the armory for the evening
Another evening will ne xi!en owe,
to the girls. There is to be no dis.
ttinction as to whom are the boys
and girls in these clubs-all boys
and girls in Wahpeton are eligible
and welcome.
