The Preacher Should Go To Work.

Dear Comrade: We live near church. The
preacher he goes from house to house. He tries
to get lots of members. But he cannot do it. One
time he went to one house and asked man if he
believes in God The man said, no. Then the preach
er kneeled down by the man and prayed three
hours. Then the preacher asked the if he
believes in God. The man said, "How can l be-
leve in God if there isn't amy" Then the preacher
got angry and went home. But the preacher is
afraid to come to our place because he knows we
would not CO. They have meetings every day in
MONTH The preacher hollers so loud that you could
hear him about half mile away. He just seares
the people, they begin to cry and pray. The peo-
pie are crazy and bring him money. If the people
would be smart enough they would not bring the
money to the church and the preacher would have
to go to work just the same the workers and
farmers do wish the preachers would be chased
ont of here or go to work. they would make
labor school instead Of church l am also going
to try to get some new subscribers to the Young
Comrade.-ANDY SENETA.

Capitalists and Workers Children.
BY JOSEPHINE DARGIS.

The workers make a living for the capitalists
But the capitalists pay attention to the work
crs. Once saw on the street nice limousine with
a chauffeur. In the car there was beautiful dog
looking out Of the window. Out on the street was
a forlorn boy with ragged clothes, shivering with
cold selling papers. He looked at the limousine
with sad face saying to himself II wish had
a dogs life"
What's the truth about capitalists? We workers
make the millions for the capitalists. They give
the money for building churches, and bet thousands
of dollars to see boxing. Compare the workers
children to the rich. The workers child has for
lunch only hard bread and butter. The rich have
all kinds of danties. Do they. give the poor chill
dren anything? NO! When the poor children grow
up they again make millions for those capitalists

LIKE WASHINGTON DID.

Dear Comrades: In school, teacher always says
that Washington was a brave and honest man.
His men drove out the French, Germans and Eng
fish. In those days America wanted to rule itself
Now there is man in China that wants to do
the same thing as Washington did. lie wanted to
drive out the foreign people from China. The
Chinese want to rule their own country. The rich
people are sending soldiers to China to stop her
from sending out the foreigners. The rich bosses
are the ones China wants to kick out of her country
| think the soldiers that got to China to fight
are bad men. Now the United States captured
city in China and are cutting the workers heads
off. These workers are something like Lenin and
other great heroes They want to free their coun-
try and do as they please.
Comradely yours,
YOLAN ENYEDY.
