One group that was pretty
regular was made up of a fam
GUS bunch of men, through
whose hands had passed most
of the cracks of the previous
80 years-men like Sam Hill
dreth, Bill Lakeland and Jimmy
Rowe. They used to notice an
old fellow sitting near them,
pretty we'll mufled up in one
of those listers they used to
wear in the first days of the
horseless carriage, but since ne
never showed any signs of but
ting in, and didn't want to be
touted on horses, they quit pay
ing attention to him.
A few days before the meet
ing, he suddenly got up and
came over and said;
Gentlemen, rye been listen
ing to you talk about horses for
two weeks, and I haven't heard
you mention a horse with class
yetp
Well, they were pretty aghaSt,
because they had been talking
about Domino and sysonby and
Colin and Henry of Navarro
and the like, and finally some
body found his tongue and
asked:
What in the world do you
call a horse of class?"
The old man hoisted himself
up on the porch rail.
"Well,' he said, 81 used to
race horses out in Montana, in
the days of Marcus DAILY, at
Anaconda an the other little
tracks out there. Purses weren't
much, of course, but we had a
lot of fun, an some good hor-
seS too. Well, had a little mare
out there that I think was a
horse of class.
cat the end of the meetin'
there was usually pretty good
race, with a $1,000 purse, an
everybody was shootin' at it, of
course. 1t didn't suit my mare,
but it was so much money ]
put her in. She was a little
thing, an couldn't pack much
weight, but she's won three or
four races an the Handicapped
didn't have much use for me
anyhow, so he put 100 pounds
on her. Sixty pounds of that
was dead weight, an the rest
was a little apprentice boy that
had rid only a couple of times
She liked to sprint, mostly, but
this race was at a mile and a
half.
She couldn't put up with the
humping she'd get in a big
field, but there were II horses
answered the bugle. She liked
to run on the rail, but she
drawed sixteenth. She couldn't
mud worth shucks, but it came
up to rain hard that mornin
an the track was fetlock deep
well, they broke off in q
tangle, an she got bumped
from both sides an pretty near
knocked down. But she got up
an went after the field, an
she looked the leader eye to eye
around the first turn an into
the back stretch. An goin
down the back stretch that lit
tie apprentice boy felt his sad
die start to slip. He was scared
of that big field behind him, SC
he steered to the outside raj
an pulled up. An that mare
stopped out there an she had
a foal. I'd bred her the year be
fore an thought she hadn't
caught"
The old man stopped in a
dead hush and looked at the
trainers.

class. She win that race by

What bearing has criticism of tn,
war mistakes of capitalist nations OF
the evolutionary process which drives
us gradually nearer to the ultimate
naturalization of industry?
By a comparison of the haphazard
bungling methods of capitalist leader
ship, attempting to wage total war
while having no planned internal
economy and little knowledge of the
national resources land that knowl
edge very Indefinitely, with the care
fully planned internal economy, ac-
curately calculated resources, and def
initely outlined industrial program of
Socialist Russia, we may discover a
solution to problems which confront
our civilian war effort and at the
same time discern the faint but I'M
mistakable outlines of the evolution
airy process which irresistably drives
capitalist nations onward to the So
cialization or naturalization of the
means of production and distribution.
The doctrine of survival of the fit
test" does not necessarily imply that
only the strongest survive, but that
in the evolutionary process of nature
those animals, plants or individuals
which most readily perceive and
quickly adapt themselves to changing
conditions have the better opportunity
for survival This is equally true of
nations in the process of ECONOMIC
evolution.
By a fortuitous circumstance of the
"Bolshevic Revolution" the Russians
had placed in positions of responsible
ity, leaders who though they were
members of working and prosecuted
groups, were at the same time stu
dents of economics and able to per-
ceive the necessary steps to be taken
if Russia were to survive. Being COM
PEELED from the beginning to resist |
the financial and military pressure of !
the entire capitalist world, these lead

survival depended entirely upon her
ability to plan and build a strong in
ternal economy and to depend entire
ly upon her own resources and mill
tary strength.
The bitter struggles, sacrifices, COM
promises, temporary defeats, and
withal the ruthless financial and mill
tary pressure from the entire capital
list world are too familiar and too null
-itudinous to be repeated here. Suf-
flee it to say that this hardening
process impressed upon the minds of
he Russian people as probably moth

has nothing to compare with its rec
ord of damphoolishnes in all history,
modern ancient or medieval. The
Hebrews of Joseph's time displayed
more "horse sense" than the political
leaders of capitalist America. Even
a half-witted "pot-hound" finding him
self with a few extra bones has in
telligence enough to bury the extras
for future reference. When along
with it's other assinine features we
realize that the scarcity program was
adopted to increase the price in cur
rency backed by the gold standard
it appears even more disgusting, since
gold and silver has very little Fuse
value" while the products destroyed
were and are vital to the prolongation
of human life. We dig gold out of the
ground, put it through a costly re-
filming process, melt it, mold it into
bars and then-take it to Fort Knox
and bury it again and Uncle Sam
hires large number of guards to
keep public enemies" from digging
it up again. Truly, when one gets

capitalist mentality he is forced to

On the average, man is fundamer
tally decent Instinctively, he is
social being. He wants to live i
peace and harmony with his felloy
men, to be appreciated, and to b
trusted.
Those who argue to the contrar!
employ as evidence and as example!
those individuals and groups whose
personalities have been warped anC
twisted by social environment
blamed on creation. They deny the
great potentialities in mantle abil
tiles and qualities required for a
functioning cooperative life. They
deny that man is so created that he
can hope for an era of Peace on Earth
and Good Will Towards Man, that in
fact our security and general we'll
being is dependent upon the extent to
which we practice the doctrine of the
Brotherhood of Man.
OF course, if those with little faith
in man, his nature and destiny, are
in the majority there is. in truth, little
hope for progress. But certainly it
cannot be blamed on creation. There
is nothing to prevent us from being
reborn and become men with hope,
and faith, and vision. We have the
potentialities. Personally, | think the
cold-blooded scheming and calculating
to prey upon fellow beings is con
fined to very small group. The vast
majority are at heart decent. They
suffer only because they are kept di-
vided and because they have not yet
undergone that terrific rebirth; that
painful change of attitude and ac-
quired that broader vision and inter-
est required by a changing world.
This done, the possibilities are limit
less.
But even this change, this lesson,
must come through actual experience
for most of us.
So, I am extremely happy and hope
full because of the move to unity farm,
labor, business, and service groups as
announced in The Peoples Voice last
week Nothing of so tremendous sig
nificance has come to my attention
for many years. If we who work and
produce can learn to work together |

the evening of February II but when
people who had travelled hundreds OF
miles to testify at this hearing arrived
lin Helena they found that the com
mittee had failed to even arrange for
a place in which to hold the hearing.
After considerable delay arrange
Iments were made to hold the hearing
at noon of the following day, and wit
nesses representing thousands of citi-
zens and organizations presented their
testimony, all favorable to the bill
The committee reported the bill fav-
orably and the house re-referred it
to the appropriations committee
where it evidently fell into someone's
pocket whence all attempts to "dyna-
mite" it failed and it died in COM
mittee.'
The third bill Glib 1881 submitted
by the Montana Education Assn. pro-
posed to place the teachers retirement
fund under thu administration of the
general school fund and make other
improvements in the pensioning of
superannuated teachers. The commit
tee on education gave it unanimous
ly favorable report and it was like
wise re-referred to the appropriations
committee of which big Wind" (Hur-
ricane) Horrigan is chairman. Our
information is that the committee in
structed the chairman to report the
bill favorably but for some reason I'M
known to anyone, with the possible
exception of big Winds" employers,
the bill was not reported out and, like
its predecessor, died in an "air peck
ct" On this bill some of the educa-
tors desired minor amendment to
be offered from the floor and one re-
publican member expressed his will
ingness to offer the amendment if it
were not for "antagoniZing the repub-
lican party though why anyone
should hesitate to antagonize a corpse
is question which l leave for the
more superstitutiously inclined to ex-
plain. Legislative action on these
three bills expresses the attitude of
the assembly as plainly as if they had
said in so many words, Anything and
everything for bankers and corpora
lions. AS for superannuated teachers
and aged people-they can go plumb"
From the attitude of the 2Sth as
sembly one can safely predict that
when these activities have had time

will find themselves in the position

War of aggression springs from the

the common people cannot again be

Great soldiers think free from mon

unconditional surrender of
Germany then.
Woodrow Wilson, far-seeing states

would prevent future wars without |
the shedding of the blood that an in

Either the plan of Pershing to con-
vince the Germans for all time that |
they were not supermen, or Wilson's
plan for our joining league of ma

emit World war.
The French bankers, the English
nunitionmakers, the House of Nor

Germany vanquished to the point
where she would never again pay l
