Violent methods are bound to fail.
Violence does not mean physical vio-
lence only. Verbal violence often
leaves deeper scars than physical.
There is also a silent violence where
men sitting at safe distance egg on
immature youth to verbal and physical
violence. The only epithets that seem
to suit their conduct are wicked and
contemplate" The objection to
violent methods is very practical
one. Force is no remedy, whether ap-
piled by government or against it. Ac-
ton and reaction are equal in the po-
litical as in the physical sphere. Vio-
lent actions produce and can produce
only violent reactions. They do not
raise nations. They degrade them.

cient proof of this truism.-Indian So
cial Reformer.

A Sure Thing!

Tell us what you want, and we are
sure that you'll have better chance
to accomplish it on our Colony lands
than anywhere else.
Our land at SIS an acre is the best
proposition you have ever been offer
ed. You can begin to plant some
thing almost any month in the year
that you may get here and have veg
etables fresh from the garden every
day in the year. Stock finds pasture
every month and takes care of itself,
so whatever line of agriculture or
stock growing you may choose to en-
gage in, this section of Louisiana Of
fers the best all-around chance in the
United States.
And, if at any time you get tired Of
padding your own canoe, there is
always an opportunity open to you to
turn your land and Improvements in
for a membership and enjoy the adj
vantages Of full and complete cooper
alton.
All the existing conditions, institu-
tions and customs of production and
distribution have been gradually initi-
ated and nd>devcloped through the agen-
cy and instrumentality Of men; and
if we want something better, bring a.
bout improvement. we will have to go
and bring it about by our own efforts.
The Cooperative Commonwealth
will not drop down fuIl-grown from the
skies; on the contrary, sometime. some
where, people will have to take off
their coats and go to work and make
a beginning.
And that's just exactly what we are
doing and accomplishing here.
Come down, and see the birth of the
new world, the new form of human
association, from which all exploita-
ton has been eliminated and where
truth and right are the cardinal vir-
tues and where real justice obtains and
good fellowship reigns supreme.

TI HATS what you want, and you
can have it by taking advantage
of the splendid chance now ex-
tended to you by the Llano Cooper
alive Colony. We are just paying for
1000 more acres Of land this month,
and are now getting ready to raise e.
nough cash to pay for the other S.
900 acres that we have contracted for,
SO that we may have enough of a real
estate foundation for large-size CO.
operative colony-one that can carry
on the greatest variety Of productive
industries, so as to be independent Of
outside supplies to the utmost We
have demonstrated that workingmen
can work together in peace and con-
cord for themselves, and in that way
reap the full product of their labor
and enjoy a better and more delightful
and profitable social life than has ever
before fallen to their share. Our CO.
operators own their own jobs. and
their own souls, too, you bet; and it
has lifted them on plane of self-con-
fidence, self-respect. and equanimity
Of mind that has to be experienced to
be appreciated.
Here is an opportunity that never
has been presented before. Mental
freedom, production according to the
best methods of modern technic and
enjoyment of every thing that the re-
sources of the Colony afford.
Here we are successfully working
out the problem Of social economy
and fellowship and find that mutual
aid, knowledge and mutual respect
are entirely adequate for the purpose.
When working for capitalists you
have to get along with one another.
and when your own interests demand
it, there is even a still stronger induce
ment for you to do so.
But if you prefer to farm on your
own hook. but would like the advan-
tage of cooperative buying and SELL
ing. you can also be accommodated,
