January Bids for Land.

Austin. Tex.-There were 1870 bids
for land at the sale advertised for
January l. Those have just now been
tabulated and within a few days the
awards will be made. AS a result of
the bidding, probably 300 sales will be
made, but not many more than that
because many of the bids were for the
same tracts. For instance, there were
$50 bids for a tract of 100 acres in
Wilbarger County. known as the ga
o. A. Lindsey. The highest bid fol-
this was $50 per acre, and the lowest
was the minimum fixed by the com
missioner. There were "a bids for q
tract of 102 acres in Harris County
the highest bid being $50 per acre
This is tract which has long been
in cultivation, but which has reverted

The Way To Freedom
BY John Lawrence

1t is the policy and practice of the capitalist
class to keep the workers misinformed of his true
interests. They we'll know that they can remain in
power only so long as the workers remain ignor-
ant, and only while the workers are ignorant will
they allow the capitalist class to rule.
The chief agent in doping, Supplying and
misleading the workingman's mind is the Press.
The capitalist newspapers permeate every corner
of the country Their falsifcations and propaganda
(see "The Brass Check, by Upton Sinclair) are
peted against the workers brains day after day,
year after year, from San Francisco to New
York.
The proletarian press, on the otherhand is
as yet so weak that you can count on your fingers
the active revolutionary working class papers.
This explains the Indifference or antagnism
of the working class as whole when some portion
of it is on strike. The strikers are represented
in the press as going out merely to create dis
turbance to stir up trouble. They are held solely
responsible for the rise in prices; they are sup
posed to be making unjust demands. Actually
during the railroad strike there was joke to the
effect that the railroad workers would be striking
for automobiles next to ride from one train to
another in. We are told of the wealth the work
ers are accumulating, of the "extravagance" they
indulge in on their wonderful increase in wages.
The Political Strike
The bitter iron of such distortions of the
truth is apparent only when one knows the actual
misery of the strikers living conditions and the
extreme modesty of the demands they are max
ing. But who would let this truth be known? The
capitalist press? No. If the proletarian press could
penetrate half as far as that of the ruling class
we should find a solid majority of workers back
ing up every economic strike in no matter what
industry.
The political strike - that which has for its
aim political object = has only manifested it
self in America during the past year. The long
shoremen striking for the release of the mayor
of Cork, the miners of Butte making as their first
