W. F. Dietz, State Secretary.
Lake Charles, La., Sept. 10, 1913.
Comrade A. Fontenot of Turkey
Creek writes for a speaker, stating
that the people are ready for our
message, and he thought that 25 or
10 would Join a local.
Comrade Samuel T. Patton is now
at Riverton, La., and is open for
lecture and organizing work in that
locality. Write him;
Comrade R. O. Martin gave a lec-
ture at Oak Grove, near Logansport,
and as a result the local was organ-
ized with M. L. Formby, secretary.
He has also held several other suc-
cessful meetings and at Calvin sev-
eral new members were added to
local Watsville.
Comrades at Vick, La., have or-
ggplzed a local with 14 members,
which they have named Good Hope,
W. F. Pankey,, the secretary, writes
that this local is in the overflowed
district and money is scarce, but
that they expect to soon increase the
membership to 60 or 60 members.
The local is well named and may
they realise their expectation, is our
irtsh.
"Comrade J. W. BarneB, of Lake
Charles, is now on a short speaking
trip to Abbeville and vicinity. We
have received an application for char-
ter for a local at Perry with 8 mem-
bers as a result, and we may ba\‘e
more to report next week.
Comrade J. R. Jones is meeting
with success on his organization tour
and the comrades all along the route
are well pleased with his work. At
Bear the secretary, D. J. Hinson,
writes that their meeting was a suc-
cess from start to finish, and some
more Henry Dubs were landed in the
local. Collection was $7.95, which
is indicative of the sentiment in that
locality.
Comrade Roy Harrison, secretary
of local Calhoun, writes that they
are anxious for a speaker, two mem-
bers have been added to the local
recently organized, and with some
good lectures more can be started
on the right course.
We desire to eall the attention of
the comrades throughout the state

Comrades the congressional elec-
tion is only a little over a year off—
the circulation of the LIGHT is only
1,600—WE MUST HAVE AT LEAST
A 1,500 CIRCULATION by election
time. HOW ARE WE GOING TO
GET IT? There is no question about
the necessity of a large circulation,
the only question is, HOW ARE WE
TO GET IT? We have an up to date
printing plant, that can turn out
50,000 papers as easily aB it can turn
out 5,000. Since we have paid our
hard earned money for this plant,
WHY NOT USE IT?
After studying out many plans, to
extend our circulation, we came to
the decision that the best way to get
it was to secure a good speaker and
route him through the State on a
sub-iecture proposition.
Having heard of the ability of
Comrade Lee L. Rhodes, we were so
well pleased, that we decided to get
him. We found in him the man we
were looking for, so we have con-
tracted with him for THIRTY dates,
he will begin lecturing for us in No-
vember. We are going to make the
rate for his lectures just as low as
we possibly can, and come out even,
we don’t expect to make any money
out of it, WE WANT THE SUBS—

GOOD STORY ABOUT COWS.
The late George T. Angel of Bos-
ton, not long before his birth to
higher life, published "Twelve Les-

also printed some stories. Here is
one which I think may Interest Our
Young FolkB and I will condense and
retell it. He says;
"I have recently read an account

man and orator, Daniel Webster,
asked, just before he died, that all
his cattle, which he loved so much
should be driven to his window, that
he might see them for the last time;
and as they came, one by one, to
his window, he called each by
name."
Dr. Angel's story reminds me of
what a great dairyman once said,
who, while watching the cows, was that if you want good healthy milk,

I wish to thank you for your fore-
thought in sending Comrade Carpen-
ter down here to aid the Leader in
its circulation. He is a live wire
hustler and an agreeable companion
and is making the fur fly already. I
am confident of great results from
his work. Yesterday was the first
time in three months I have been
able to get out after subs. I cap-
tured eleven and brought in eight
new members for the local, two of
whom were ladies; and also collected
some membership dues. This will
make 19 new members in three
weeks; and Comrade Roles report-
ed to me today that he expected to
bring in three more next Sunday,
total 32. I did not get out this
forenoon on account of rain, but
shall try it this afternoon again.
It has cleared off and I must hit
the pike. Our regards to Comrade
Coleman and yourself. Yours for

LIGHT ON THE
CURSE.
BOND
With this issue the Clinton Coun-
ty Socialist completes the first year
of Its existence. That it has done
some good in this time Is our hope.
With a 'arger. circulation we could
give more space to local matters;
but wr are doing the best we can
under the circumstances.

The average American citizen
would never suspect that American
congressmen posing as representa-
tives of the people would carry their
favoritism to national bankers to the
Bonds receive their entire value

is guilty of this outrageous crime.
During the session of the 62nd
congress the central bank proposition
got under discussion on the floor of
the Benate, which incidentally
brought up the 1900 2 per cent bond
issue.
Taft was urging establishment of.
the central bank, one of his pleas in
support of the measure was that the
government had buncoed national
bankers with the low interest bonds
and congress should establish the
central bank to take care of the
bonds and relieve the bankers of
their unjust burden. Senator Owen
said
with one o( these banks, and am
now. I own a considerable interest
in it. Immediately after passage of
the act authorizing the two per cent
bonds, we telegraphed our corre-
spondent in Washington, purchasing
$250,000 of the bonds and the cur-
rency issued against the bonds, as
the currency of this particular bank
paid the purchase price of the bonds
less a very small item as premium,
and thereafter and since which time
this bank has been receiving two per
cent on Uhese bonds substantially
without any investment whatever.
The bonds yield about one and a
half per cent net, and as national
banker! are getting the interest on
over $700,000,000 of bonds, which
cost them nothing of a negligible
amount, they have abused the confi-
dence of their friends in claiming to
be buncoed. We can stand the game
if the American people can.” Senator
Owen did not state the amount paid
as premium, but as he used the words
‘very small item and negligible
sum,” it is likely that the bankers
paid less money in premium than
they got back as interest on the
bonds in one or two years’ time, mak-
ing the bonds a free gift.
This is the kind of national legis-
lation with which we have been
cursed for a half century. Who can
wonder that we owe a bonded debt
amounting to the unpayable sum of
$60,000,000,000. American con-
gressmen are unable to see any way
to get money to the people except
oyer the bonded route. When the
country needs money, they create a
bonded debt against the people, upon
which the people must commence im-
mediately to pay interest, then na-
tional bankers are authorized to is-
sue money for themselves on the
people's indebtedness. Then the peo-

Philadelphia, Pa.—Within 10
years women will vote in every civ-

and optimistic declaration of Dr.

“One cannot realize without visit-

eral of England. Mrs. Fawcett is

“The spirit of bitterness among
the men of England toward our
cause,” continued Dr. Shaw, “is
traceable, I believe, to a general dis-
like of women attaining prominence
in any Held of endeavor. The same
■ pirit is manifest in Germany,”

Dr. Shaw declared conditions in

cannot be substantiated. No value ■ takes place the vote will be proba-
can be considered in money except
the value mentioned on its face,
which Is legal value. The same is
true of government bonds. As gov-
ernment bonds and government mon-
ey are created and backed by the
same Flat power of government, one
as stable and secure as the other.
Why issue interest bearing bonds
as a basis upon which to issue money
“Mr. Prsident, I was connected when the bonds are an ever increas-
ing debt and a blighting curse to
the people? When money, the ex-
tinguisher of debt, can be issued to
bless the people,, the effects of the
two upon society are exactly oppo-
site.
Money in plentiful supply is a
promoter of prosperity, peace and
happiness. Bonds are a promoter
of poverty, slavery and strife. Mon-
ey develops the nobler instincts and
aspirations of men and women, while
bonds destroy the nobler attributes
of men and women and develop the
worst. This being true, why have
we the bonds—the curse promoter—
In large quantity with a very limited
supply of money—the promoter of
prosperity and happiness?
The answer is, that the Bank Trust
controls the leadership of the dom-
inant political parties and the vot-
ers are blind enough to vote them
into power year after year, and
thereby perpetuate their own slav-
ery.
As national bankers have reached
out and acquired ownership or con-
trol of all large industries and man-
ufactories. Any legislation which
would lift present unjust burdens
from the masses would diminish their
Income. And as the bank trust con-
trols national law making bodies,
legislation which would be material-
ly beneficial to the masses is a mat-
ter of impossibility without com-
plete abolition of present dominant
political forces.
Nothing can accomplish eco-
nomic freedom of the en-
slaved masses except overthrow of
our crime breeding labor-robbing
system of Capitalism and establish-
ment of the Co-operative Comon-
wealth upon the ruins thereof.
If the people are not ready to per-
form that duty in 1916, a few more
bly extended to women. "I was
greatly impressed," she continued,
"by the prosperity of the Dutch. Hol-
land is without doubt the most pros-

people pay Interest on what they
owe the banker and on what the
banker owes them.
The claim is made by bankers and

Water, its handling, not its use,
is the reason why the wives of farm-
ers lose their figures, their color and
the sparkle of their eyes, according
to President Jos. Cook of the Missis-
sippi Normal College, whose discov-
ery is considered of sufficient import-
ance by the United States Bureau of
Education to make it the subject of
a special bulletin. In the presence
of water handling President Cook
declares the rural schoool has little
chance to improve conditions. He
declares the average farmer’s wife
lifts a ton of water a day in con-
ducting her housewifely duties.
“The getting of the water from
the source of supply to the point of
application,” says Professor Cook,
“requires more manual labor than
any other item of housekeeping. The
water for the kitchen has to be lift-
ed from the well, carried to the
kitchen, poured into a kettle, poured
out of the kettle into the dlshpan
and from the dishpan out of doors.
This makes six times the water is
handled, and a bucket of water con-
taining two gallons, with the con-
taining vessel, will weigh twenty
pounds.
"When this is handled six times
the total lifting is 120 pounds. The
cooking of three meals a day on a
meager allowance of water will ne-
cessitate ten buckets, which will
make for cooking alone twelve hun-
dred pounds of lifting per day.
When to this is added the water nec-
essary for bathing, scrubbing and the
weekly wash, it will easily bring
the lift per day up to a ton and tha
lifting of a ton a day will take tho
bloom out of her cbeek and the en-
joyment from her soul.’’
All this drudgery, says Professor
Cook, could be obviated by an out-
lay of $250, even on the most isolat-

The encampment at Laverno, Har-
per County, Okla., was an unqual-
ified success. The passengers on
the train that swept over the plain*
and halted in the dusk of evening
at the little town of Laversc, rho
2nd of September, will never forvt
that there was a Socialist Sumvla-
ment in Harper County. The .
of eager faces, the great red b li-
ners and the score of red sashes pi o-
claimed that there were those who
dare to show their colors and the
splendid band with its stirring music
sent the blood leaping through tho
veins of those who heard. Nor «:,i
this preparation in vain, for tho peo-
ple came In flocks and kept com lug
The people came on horseback, in
wagons, buggies, surreys, by rail, in
autos on foot, old, young, big, little,
rieh, poor, male and female. The
people came from the plains, prai-
ries, foothills, from little westers
towns, and larger towns. The peo-
ple came from every direction, north,
east, south and west. The people
came and at last they all arrived and
everyone was pleased. P. O. Zim-
merman, of Texas, nails crowds ‘ i

His masterful presentation of
class struggle is convincing.
G. G. Hamilton captures the p-a
pie, especially the Christian, an l
feeds them pure unadulterated Bib’e
until they plead for a red card
expect to use it as a ticks; into
Heaven.
