THE Wall ABOUT DUMPING

tFrOm The Dakota Free Press, Aberdeen, S. d.
nUSSIAN DUMPING" of wheat and oil has
n given the capitalist newspapers of this country
an opportunity to work up prejudice against the
soyiets which they have not been slow to take ad-
vantage of.
Every country engaged in agriculture or
manufacturing has dumped" We dump our
wheat and we have not been able to dump it at
the right price, so our farmers are in distress.
We have dumped our manufactures in great vol
ume Hiding behind tariff which kept out for
eign competition have dumped our stuff on
Europe at half price to get rid of the surplus"
This is especially true of agricultural imple-
Rnents 1t is a fact so well known that nobody
should be deceived that agricultural implements
manufactured in this country have been bought in
Europe for one-quarter to one-haH of the price
paid by our own farmers.
All over the United States today, the mer-
chants of the towns and cities are dumping. The
newspapers are full of advertisements of special
saleS at reduced prices. These merchants are COM
hitting the horrible sin of dumping their goods
on the American market at less than some of their
competitors can afford to sell.
All commerce consists of dumping If you
need money badly or can make good profits by
dumping your stuff on somebody else you dump
or you are simply foolish
The dumping cry raised against Russia is so
pitibly foolish that it is laughable.
Those who favor the competitive system
and our whole industrial and financial structure
is based on cOmpetition-should be the last to
squawk when Russia or England beats US at our
avn game.
The truth is, however, that Russia has dump
ed only because she is engaged in vast building
scheme and needs the money with which to push
her enterprises TO completion.

FALSEPRIDE

THE FOLLOWING clipping shows how the work
l er the white slave, has gotten down 70 point
Of submission and false pride far below that of
the black slave of his time. The black slave de-
manded and expected that his master would take
care Of him during his sickness and he was taken
care Of Instead of demanding the same right
which the black slave had, the white slave of to-
day offers to sell what is dearest to him, his
children, in order to pay for things which were
given to the black man willingly and free of
charge. So long as the white slave is willing to
turn everything he has into money in order to up
hold the present system and is too timid to de-
fnand what belongs to him, just 50 long will the
system keep on robbing him and making him sell
bis children in order to pay doctor bills.

About the editorials: agree

why Not Change Tactics?"
In the October 80 isQe the editor
tries to explain why he wrote this
editorial. I quote fro mthe editorial
in that issue entitled: why Not
Change Tactics? AS We See It."
Editorials in the larger papers
may reflect the sentiments of the
owners though worded by the edi-
torial writer's, and may not always
reflect the exact sentiments of the
writer But in weekly and small
papers owned by those who write
the editorials, they usually reflect
the attitude of the writer on the
questions discussed. With editorf-
ais written for the Bowbells Trib-
une this is always the case"
wonder if our editor thinks that
he owns the Bowbells Tribune, Al
so if he ever stopped to think that
the readers would like to read an
on opinions and prejudices of the
editor.
About demonstrations and riots
in general. whether in North Dal1o.
ia or in Saskatchewan, and the Es-
stevan affair in particular it would
be well to point out two facts: {
First: demonstrations are neceS
sary because the newspapers do not
tell the truth about conditions a.
gainst which the workers are pro.
testing. Either the papers are own.
| ed by the capitalists and their poA.
I cy is to mislead, or, incase of farm.
er or worker owned papers. the edi
tors often are too stupid or lacl
the courage to tell the truth. In the
latter case changing to an edfol
who works for the interests of the
farmers and workers would do away
with the necessity for demonstra
! tions.
Second: When demonstrations ar,
turned into riots. it is because tn,

of losing control, because a third
party would not attempt to change
the capitalist system to a system

Who will want this third CAPT

want to get in the limelight and

tor started when that paper came
out with an article about the coal
miners demonstration at Estevan

murdered and others wounder,
written up in such a way as to
put the blame on the demonstrate
orS.
Later articles in which workers
demonstration were criticised
and recommendations of a third
party appeared in the paper and

siderable period, as the B. & o. Rail-
road was closely guarded against Con-
federate attack. On the other side of
the river may be seen the only Ma
tional Cemetery in West Virginia. 1t
is the last resting place of about a
thousand veterans.
1t is quite evident to the visitor that
Grafton is railroad town. In addi-
ton to the fact that the town is a
junction point, large railroad shops
are located there. In fact, the pros
perity of several of the towns in the
northern part of the State is closely
tied up with the prosperity of the B.
and o. This was the first railroad
built in America, from Baltimore to
the Ohio River, by way of Cumber-
land. 1t enters West Virginia at
Harper's Ferry.
There are now two principal
branches of the B. and O., one of them
extending to Chicago by way of Pitts
burgh, and the other to st. Louis by
way of Cincinnati. These two
branches separate at Cumberland.
Grafton is on the branch that goes to
St. Louis, and from Grafton there is
branch to Wheeling, a branch to
Charleston and a branch to Elkins.
Indeed, small branches of the B. &
o. may be found all through West
Virginia, acting as feeders for the two
principal branches.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. (P) :

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. (P) - That those ugly, indolent alliga- tors of the southern swamps are really efficient policemen" con- trolling the vicious underwater element of aquatic life, and in valuable guardians of game fish, is a fact reported to be rising slowly out of reams of data being assembled by the Bureau of Bio logical Survey of the Department of Agriculture.
 According to officials of the American Game Association, both circumstantial evidence and proof furnished by 8 study of stomach contents indicate that alligators protect game fish indirectly by eating turtles and gars, the two worst enemies of the game spe- cies because of their habit of de- stroying fish eggs and young.
 The almost complete extinction of the alligator in many sections of their habitat is said to be coin cident with a heavy increase ir turtles and rough" fish and g steady decline of game fish, which even artificial propagation by hatcheries has not been able tt offset
