eSJ WEEKLY NEWS LeLJST Oh the bet-
ter America Federation quotes the
following paragraphs, written by FrSd
r. Marvin, from New York CONNER
| cial:
"The government Of the United
States is capitalist in character and
republican in form. It's affairs are
directed by representatives chosen by
the people.
Stripped OF all misunderstanding, :
which is even too general among
those who should know better, CAPT
talist government is that form Of gov
eminent which permits the individual
to acquire, own, hold, transfer, enjoy,
devise and bequeath property.-any
old kind Of property; wheelbarrow,
an automobile, broken down horse,
a cattle ranch, sack of potatoes, a
farm, bank, a home, manufactur-
ing plant. or a railroad system. And
a capitalist form Of government, fur
Their, is that form which brings to
bear all its power to protect the indi-
vidual in this right. That is the kind
of a government you enjoy in the
United States
The B. A. E. sheet adds:
Every sincere and loyal American
should know and remember this. And
be ever ready to uphold"

Curiosity enuf. Marvin, the New
York Commercial and the B. A. F.
do not know the difference between
products of labor and property. Legal
ly, property is paper title to some
thing of value. II is apart from the
object to which it gives ownership.
Philologically, property is theft. 1t
is that which is made ones own. To
appropriate means to steal, and was
used IN that sense by property class
journals until Lenin triumphed in Rus
STA. Philosophically, as proven by p
J. Proudhon, property is the theft Of
products of labor from the producers.
Americans know less of the Ian
suage they use than any other people.
Not more than one in 100000 knows
what such words as radical" con
science" etc., mean. That is whv
hey are duped SO easily. you know
what mean" is their favorite phrase
when expressing opinions.
