anese and Russian capital, and the
swallowing up of the smaller Rroups

general groups, and all this tends to
bring naxunmaaking time, and a
throwing away of disguises.
The-Roman Military Plunderbund
made no disguise of Us wars being

Br.c hypocritical as we are today.
King Gillette# "World Corpora-
tion.” or a big international Hold-
ing Corporation, is the logical out
ry U. 8. mail.
What do you think of that, fellow
citizens, when you come to know the
facts?
First. Tills line entered Into u
contract with the government which
docs not expire for two years yet,
yet like a sovereign government of
a foreign nation, they utter an UL-
TIMATUM to the government, au.l
repudiate their contract. When
fared with the prospect of the action
of the courts, they will no doubt re-
consider.
Second. The Constitution of the
United States, Arltclel, Section 5,
Clause 7, says: “CongresH «ha!l
have power to establish post offices
and post roads.” All railroads arc
post roads, and are by the Constl!ti-
tle tinder the control of Congress
and Congress has (he power to es-
tablish post roads, and only the
greed of private ownership ever per-
mitted fb»m to get Into and remain
in private hands. Every railroud that
carries U. S. mail that Is owned by
private ownership, is operated in vio-
lation of the express provision in the
Constitution. The government hns
the rl,.hl authority and power to
either confiscate them as the pro-
perty of the Federal Government, or
to "establish" a post road corapc'i-
tlon and compete them out of exis-
tence.
Third. Thus we see an unconsti-
tutional corporation uttering an UL-
TIMATUM to the general government
and oxtyclsing powers denied to tho
sovereign states iu the Union.
Fourth. The only Constitutional
remedy Is confiscation.
THE PROTEST
—
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Said the great machine of iron and
wood,
"Lo! I am a creature of iron and
wood.
But the criminal clutch of godless
greed
Has made me monster that scatters
need
And want and hunger wherever l go.
I would lift men's burdens and light-
en their woe.
I would give them leisure to laugh
in the sun,
If owned by the Many—instead of
One,
"if owned by the People. Ilie who.e

Should learn my purpose and know
my worth,
1 would close the chasm that yawns
In our soil

toll.
No man Rliouid hunger and no loan
labor
To fill tho purse of an Idle neighbor.
And each man should kupw when his
work was done
Were 1 shared by the Many—instead
of by One.
“1 am forced by the few with their
greed for gain
To forge for the many new fetters of
pain.
Yet this is my purpose and ever will
be,
To set the slaves of the workshops
free.
God hasten the day. when, overjoyed.
That desperate host of the unem-
ployed
Shall bear my message and under-
stand
And hall me friend in an opulent
land.”
The oldest eity in America, St. Au-
gustine, Florida, was nearly carritd
by Socialists at a recent election.
The Socialist vote was more thau
600. Their only opponenets were the
| Democrats who beat them by 4 7.

Now it is not necessary to change hu-

Socialism, knd to abolish exploitation

to his self-interest. The masses of

with the blood of great men who
have discovered new truths and prin-j
ciples, a study of history teaches tha* j
the whole development of the human j
race has been a simple, natural, and >
gradual unfoldement, as a seed puts
profits.
The rich do uot debauch the
daughters of the poor for profit,
they don’t need to, they make their
stealings another way. The rich
are by the decision of the Democratic
lawgiver only forbidden to do what
they have no need nor desire to do.
Plainly the law as interpreted by
the Attorney General who in this de-
cision as a Cabinet Officer usurps
both legislative and judicial powers,
and laughs at the Constitution that
gives Congress the legislative power
and the Federal Judiciary the judi-
cial power, but “What’s the Constitu-
tion between friends?'”
The decision of the Attorney Gen-
eral, (as the law is unconstitutional-
ly practiced), says the rich may de-
bauch the daughters of the poor leg-
ally, If they don't go into cash pro-
fiting by their vice, but God help the
poor devil who has no motive but
profit, yet Woody and Chautauqua
Bill say there is no class rule. When
tho dauged beast butts 'em, they
smile and say, “There ain't any sum
animal."
Gerald Massey well wrote:
“Our wives with death's cold kiss
are white;
Our soil's are the rich man's slaves
by day;'
Our daughter's his slaves by night. ’
And now a Democratic Attorney
General decides, and makes it law
that this is legal, and then denies
that the Donkeycrats and the G. O.
P's. are both the same parties on
class questions.
Who are the fools, we'uns or they'-

tor. Could arrogance go farther?
There was never a strike of equal
magnitude—more than 15,000 men
involved—Initiated so peacefully and
still remain so in spite of the efforts
of thugs and company tools to fo-
ment strife. Our pleas arid the ur-
gent requests of citizens to withdraw
the troops and no longer aid the
mining companies to operate their
mines go unheeded.
No governor whose name has gone
down in infamy because of his turn-
ing over the military forces of tho
State to Corporations to aid them it,
beating down their employees ever
acted so hastily and without cause
as did Governor Ferris.
The sheriff of Keweenaw county
where there are several thousand or-
ganized miners sent an affidavit to
tie Governor that the request for
troops had been made under coer-
cidn from the mining companies. Ho
rwo-e that the strikers were and are
peaceable and asked that the troops
be withdrawn. Affidavit and re-
quest were both Ignored.

SOCIALISTS DEMAND
FEDERAL PROBE OF
THE SEATTLE BIOTS.
Seattle, Wash.—The city council
having rejected the claim for dam-
ages caused to the Socialists during
the recent riots, a demand is now-
being made for a congressional in-
vestigation. This demand is con-
tained in u resolution adopted at a
mass meeting of the Socialists, Aug-
ust 3.
The resolution says that “at a
most propitious moment, from the
standpoint of the reactionaries, the
secretary of the navy, Josephus Dan-
iels, delivered a tactless, impolitic
and bellicose attack upon the red
flag and all those who believe In the
principles it symbolized, thus link-
ing the color of official approbation
to the work of treason, which almost
immediately followed.”
“Sworn testimony it at hand," the
resolution continues, “indicating that

Before 1873. when the government
began the present system of comput-
ing railway mail pay on the basis
of a daily average of weights for a
given period, there were virtually
no Sunday mails. Consequently the
government weighed the mails on
six days of the week, computed the
gross weight and divided by six to as-
certain the average daily weight.
But after 1873. when all railroads
by an analogous system of develop-
ment, evoTp species of animal life
was produced in the same way. Can
it then be possible that man stands
alone In the midst of a universe of
development, a clod, a stone, immov-
able, and an unprogresajve stagnant,
and hopeless thing? Not so. Man
is the noblest product of evolution,
he is immeasurably the highest pro-
duct of the ages; he has come upto
his present stage of evolution from
the lowest depths Human nature
has been undergoing a gradual and
fundamental change ever since man
began from the first; his nature is
not now that of a brute. The
brute in him has gradually been
thrown off, altruism: unselfishness:
and thoughtfulness of others, have
gradually been taken on And this
