A RENNEBERo RAMBLE

We're not thirsting for blood, and do
not fight,
With boms nor swords nor gun.
But we use Mental Dynamite,
It's cleaner job and that is more fun,
Mans force, is but small with
dagger in hand,
And Ignorance can not be slain with
gun
But once you use Mental Dynamite
You can step aside and watch the fun
And here is the rule by which to abide,
Take high cost Of living high taxes y
and rent.
Mix we'll with small wages rub that in
his hide,
And watch II grow into discomfort.
When discomfort, has sprouted galore
He Is your convert and will see the
light,
All darkness that was in his bear
before
Is blown out with mental dynamite

The Class Struggled There was no Glass Struggle
here.
War; These conquettsh, laughing sunbeams,
slowly waving grasses and whispering zephyrs know
no war; They neither slay nor urge Others to slay.
Only Man, brutalized and debased by cruel
senseless system stoops to such iniquities as wars
The blockade Of Russia, the starvation of women AMI
children, the financing of bandits to provoke inter
venton in Mexico, the sinister propaganda that would
enbroi the nations in another orgy of bloodletting
Mature knows nothing of these things.
What relief to escape from the poisonous,
estiferous stencil of capitalism and nhale the sweet,
wholesome air of retreat near to Natures warm,

Like this balmy, reposeful field, just away from
the clatter and camor of the noisy street, is Mex

Lright flowers, luscious fruits and fresh, healthim

Let not the harsh hand of international capitalism

Brisk, metallic voices smote my ear and woke me
from my reverie voices of 'tefficient'' energetic
business men absorbed in developing the country and
exploiting Its rich resources.

TO MY SON.
: By W. E. REAYNoLps.

Truth consists of accurate knowledge of the relation
existence bears to all other facts lu existence
Know the Truth the simple, true things
Know the reason WHY men do things,
Let this, BIZ the rule of life that gudeth you.
They have fooled you with false preaching
They have fooled you with false teaching
They have soaked you in convention thru and thrs
They would make your mind garrett
Who're you'd gable like parrot,
All the out-worn junk and phrases
Creeds, and ologies and hazes
That befog tho minds of older then you.
Oh, but cau't you hear it calling, calling.
Like The sands Of life falling, falling.
Can't you hear tho TRUTH calling
Calling your
Know the Classes know the Masses
Know them for stupid asses
Who accept faith for fact,
Who believe but dare act,
Who car not hear the TRUTH
That's calling you.
Tn, race, when young, possess
Little knowledge-mcsty guesscs
Then each guess by sire repeated
Wilder grows-and sender--meated,
Till as lies they should be treated
Nothing like tho TRUTH
That's calling you.
Know outdoors in all It's splcndors,
know The text that Nature renders,
Knowthat God needs defenders
In She fsrfung batteiine
Or IN the pew.
Change effects by changing causes
Use yor head with frequent pauses,
To hearken to tie Truth that's calling,
Calling calling you.

Some foolish people are still hoping
that our government will exercise some
measure of paternalistic regard tor
the common people and compel the
profiteers to b' decent. What a won
derful thing is hope! 1t is questionable
whether it be blessing or curse.
AS a sedative it might be considered
the former, but when we assume ra-
tional view of this state of expectancy
the verdict must be for the latter.
for hope is the dominant factor in
keeping the working class in con-
dition of inertia. 1t behooves the
master class to keep hope alive in
the hrests of the workers as long as
possible, for therein lies their only
''hcpe" of security. Prolongation Of
the era of ever increasing living costs
may at any time rouse the sleeping
giant of labor, and hope deferred too
long may inspire him to seek a remedy
at the ballot box. When that day ar
rives the doom of the bourgeoisie will
be sealed and profiteering be laid away
in the tomb of time. So mote it be.
Timothy Shea, President of the
brotherhood of Firemen and Engine
.rs, is doing the bueking broncho act
anent the Cummins railroad bill, and
/ denounces it as an attempt of the fl
nancial interests to disrupt labor organ
izations. Well, well! Mr.. Shea is get
ting quite pugnacious. Why should he
expect these gentlemen to do other
wises He has q "hunch" that when
tie railroads are returned to their
former owners on March l they will
reduce the wages of the railway work
ers and break any resulting strikes
by filming and imprisoning the strikers.
Sure thing, Timothy You have the
ease diagnosed correctly. They will
do AL that and more by the help of
the capitalist government you and
millions of other workers perpetuave
by your votes. BY the way, Timothy,
we never heard word of remon-
STRANGE from YOU when this same
capitalist government was jailing So
cialists Its your turn next.
Donations of millions are going tc
colleges to provide "higher" educa
, ton for the sons and daughters Of the
master class, while the teachers in oul
. common schools are quitting by thon
!. sands because Of their inability t
d exist on the meager salaries paid
J. looks like a systematic plan to in
' air the efficiency Of our public school
a so that the children of the workin
f class will secure but little ments
g training and thus become more sci
V vile slaves.
