How Do You Vote?
Sometime Iasi cumme!’ I re-
C»iv»d a peronal letter from T.
A. McNeal, of* tho Farmer’s
Mail And Breeze, in wMch he
Stxeri that if Benson could get
8.000.000 votes believed it woulr
b* a good thing fo>’ the country.
In view of some remarks'thej
preceded this statement. I cm
eluded that it would be interpre-
ted as an inetretion against mil*
itarism in any form.
So called socialists who voted
for Wilson as against Hughes,
have pro ablv realized the,full
force of their folly They' un-
derstand bv this time what that
vote meant. Mr. Wilson ver;
properly took this vote as an en-
dorsement of his military ideas.
How, in view of the inva^im
of Vera Cruse and General .JPeT
thing** “Hunt for Villa”; ir
view of the financial control oi
Nicarogua, thru miltary power;
in view of the military force in
Hayti and Santo Domingo; in
view of the insistance that peo*
pie shall be permitted to travel
on vessels carrying munitions;
in view of the fact that “We
have cargoes of cotton on the
seas. we have cargoes of manu-
factured articles on the seas, we
have cargoes of wheat on the
dens,*' and “We” had these
things before election, it is
numething of a mystery why you
voted for Mm.

Who Will Pay The Bill?
In all 'wars of savage peoples
(he loser paid the bill.
* After tbe discovery of gun
powder, a fund was necessary
to meht the added expense due
to changed conditions. A tax
was levied by the ruling powers.
As wars continued expense in-
creased.
About the beginning of the
Revolutionary war, William Pitt
conceived the idea of saddling
the burden on posterity. As a
consequence, the debts contrac*
ted then have never been paid.
These debts have been a con*
stant drain on the people since
that time.
A large part of the European
debt is held in this country.
That is, the present war debt,
hence the demand for “incom-
parably the greatest navy in the
world.”
immense sums of money have
been brought into this country
for munitions and supplies. This
investment will be largely in
European bonds. This must be
protected. Who will Ho this?
Mr. Wilson answers this when
be says: “The young man will
enlist for the benefit and pro-
tection of his employer. ’ *
“He kept us out of war.”

A New York clergyman de-
clares there are a million people

These people not necessarily

soared so completely out of their
reach that they are driven to
this extremity.
There are 1,562 electric light
plants in the United States
owned by the municipalities.
There are 3060 water plants sim-
ilarly owned. All are giving

Bow whose fault is that?
In the past we have had the
divine right of kings, the divipe
ight of the feudal master, the
divine right of the chattel mas
ter. All were hedged in by di-
vinity. In fact it is the pre-
tended divine right that is
claimed for the master today.
He claims a superior brain.
Aropos of the entertainment
given at the billiard parlor on
tVednesnay eve- of last week,
1 heard criticism of the ladle’s
uresence. These ideas are a re-
lic of the puritanical customs of
two centuries ago. A billiard
parlor need not necessarily be
disreputab e, and it is parttclar*
ly tru * of the one here that no
lady need hesitate to be present
on such an occasion.

There is only one way out and
that is to give the laborer all he
creates.
To divide the w«aith of labor
with any one else is to maintain
a capitalist class.

War is brutal. It is a revers-
ion to savagery. Our commerc
ial methods are brutal. They
are a reversion to savagery
Germay’s method of enforcing
her blockade is brutal. It is a
reversion to sgvagery. But who
will say that if England's navy
were not strong enough to en-
force her blockade in the man-
ner she is doing, that she would
not resort to the same savage
methods. ■

A Happy Family
Is the greatest blessing any man can have on this earth.
Happiness begins at hem?- A man doesn’t stay aba n
the house much and just a place to sleep satisfies some men.
But what about the wife and children? Have they got
the comforts snd conveniences that they are entitled to? Are
they proud to have their friends visit them or do they have o
apologize for one thing and another about the house?
, How about a nice pleasant front porch, a new front
door, some modern windows and a few closets?
These things nelDto make a happy family and they don’t cast
much, We can show you plan3 of these improvements whirh
can be built at a very moderate cost
