She la rich enough and fertile enough to feed and clothe and shelter, ah millions, millions, millions, mNlIons.

Coal, oil, copper, lumber, cotton wonl, Iron, soil and acred by millions and millions ah meres room and plonty in America. But Mother have you been In the coal fields of America? Have you seen the mines shut down the fathers of babies jobless by thousands and thousands, and children ould and hungry? Have you seen as I have seen, coal heaped by tons in thousands and thousands and children cold in the same country? Look today. This winter just ending has seen plenty of coal and has seen children' cold in most all of the countries of America. I would regret much to see these children, go to the coal fields Theres plenty of coal but, Im wondering where these children are bound? I wonder too for what it Is the owners of the mines are holding the coalfields of America? Oh, Mother of America, does It matter nothing! to you that In all the industries of America, these children must work only as wage-workers? That nothing at all can now be done In the industries of this nation except by permit of a few thousands out of the hundred millions of our population? That this nation cannot use any of the means of life except it profit these few? (Profit is the taking more of life than is given, oh mothers.) I come now asking you: Were all the things that are needed In common, to be brought under common ownership and control would not the people use them whom they wished? Would not want disappear from all the countries of America? Would not that be a life Infinitely higher, nobler, sweeter than is possible, while the few own the means of life of all? I come as a Socialist, asking you these questions; forty millions of Socialist are asking too. But the Socialists point to the Industrial developments that are daily fast increasing the need for this common ownership.

And we ask you, oh Mothers, what will you do what as to the children passing down the street? Geo. F. Hibner In the Nebraska Worker. Breed us more men, ye daughters of toll; Ye rlien mothers In lar-off lands, Sire them strongly, clean Drawn and bone, For we sift from the chaff the wheat alone, When they come to die at our hand. i Think on our greed In your travail throes.

1 i Think of us when ye bare your breast, Mine and smelter shall fjclaim their toll Roads shall be broken and reach their goal, Though ye smell their blood from the west. We build us strong on your woman's woe. Pier of granite and iron span. Glare of furnace and caissons gloom, Of him whom ye gave us a man. Seas shall not bar your son from harm; Steppe, or forest, or alpine slope, Our arms are long to grasp what we need, The New World springs from your trampled seed; Ye drain the dregs of out draught of hope.

GORDON THAYER. The Bishop of Oxford would drop the obey clause from the marriage service. He finds that the Episcopal Is the only one of the old churches which demands the unequal vow. Up to the thirteenth century, bride and groom repeated exactly the same vows. About that time man found it expedient to secure church authority for his own superiority.

Man always was a great little organizer. MOTHERS OF AMERICA. Mothers of America, you bearers of pain and bringers of joy, a group of your children are now pasing down the street just an average group of boys and girls passing down the street, and Im wondering where theyre bound. For these few day! they are at school, but on yonder ten years, Im wondering where theyre bound. Socialist Co-Operative Publishing Co.

Ida, Kansas by the government, according to testimony brought out at the Trinidad hearing, and admitted by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. It was the custom to Issue these orders In the notorious company storoa where United States postoffices are( located. The companies issued these orders to the miners, who, ignorant of postal regulations, thought they were making deposits with Uncle Sam. The fiendish joke played by the scabherding militiamen upon Andrew Colnar made a deep impression oa the congressmen and furnished one of tho many proofB that the militia were sent to Southern Colorado to tyrannize the strikers, kick and beat their wives and children, imprison them by the scores and do everything to break the strike. Colnar told how he was arrested for the terrible crime or asking a to join the United Mine Workers.

lie was placed in the cellar of a house that ran rampant with vermin and held there for two days. On the second day he was taken outside by two militiamen. A place the size of a grave was marked orr and he was told to dig a hole six feet deep. While militiamen walked about him making such remarks as Shall we bury him in a blanket?" Did you hear what time he is to he shot? etc. Colnar was prodded with bayonets by others of these hell-hounds of capital and urged to dig faster.

Frantic at the thought of not seeing his wife and five small children again and fearful of tue future, this citizen of the United States finally fell unconscious into his own grave. He was removed to the cellar cell and on the following morning released without any further comment. good are they to the Socialist party? Their purpose Is outlined in the following statement, which Is contained iu the constitution of all young peoples Socialist organizations: The object of this organization shall be to draw into a compact body all young people interested in the betterment of tho working clans; to provide means for their Intellectual and physical development and to become a center for social intercourse as well as for training them in he principles of International Socialism." The leagues are reaching the boys and girls, those who have not yet become voters. One league has 118 members, all under twenty years of age. In what way could these young people be reached with the message of Socialism other than through the Young Peoples organizations? It would probably he impossible to secure more than six of them to join the Socialist party, as the majority of them are probably not Socialists now 'but will he Socialists within a short time.

An-d when a young man or woman casts the first ballot for Socialism, it is almost certain that every succeeding one will be for Socialism. One of the things which greatly troubles the Socialist party organizations is the lack of a social spirit. If locals did less idle wrangling at their meetings and conducted more affairs where members could come together for an enjoyable time they would have many more people taking an active interest in the work. They would also bring a great many more members into their organizations. The organizations which make a practice of holding social gatherings are evidence of the good results which can be secured through this method of doing things.

The fact that Young Peoples Socialist Leagues all over the country are doubling and tripling their membership every few months shows that their methods for reaching the young people are certainly successful.

KETCHUM, Camp 7, Pa. Patriotic Order Sons of America. SIGNIFICANT QUESTION. Miss Wells, the teacher was liver tog her final lecture the term, and she dwelt with considerable emphasis an the fact that each student should devote all the intervening time preparing for the final examinations. The examination papers, she said, are now in the hands of the printer.

Are there any questions to be asked?" Silence prevailed for a moment and then a voice timidly inquired: Whos the printer?" YOUNG PEOPLES SOCIALIST LEAGUES. What is their purpose? Of what CRUEL INDIGNITIES. Citizens of the United States who live in states where a republican form of government exists and wno know the rights of a citizen under tbe constitution cam never realize the tyrannies, the oppressions Buffered by the striking coal miners at thd hands of the Colorado National Guard a bunch of barrel house bums and imported assassins of the operators who have been brought to Colorado to murder their enslaved brothers. These militiamen were sent to the strike zone by the corporation-owneer governor under lie guise of "preserving tbe peace, but in reality to break the strike. They have left nothing undone to accomplish this purpose.

In their efforts to perpetuate the reign of terror in this district tne little children have not been overlooked. Little nine-year-old Justus Yankinski was one of the many children who have suffered almost unbelievable cruelties at the hands of these militia thugs. His mother had only left the house for town when two militiamen drove up to the door In a buggy. While the can tain lay drunk In the buggy FRESH AIR TREATMENT FOR Consumptive Monkeys.

When the monkeys began to cough, the superintendent would look for cracks through which a possible draft might come, and chalk it up.

Bean suggested that they be kept out of doors during the winter, but was laughed at. But he pointed out that outdoor treatment cured human beings, and finaJly it was tried. No more caughing after that. It worked like magic. monkeys put winter coats of the long hair and came through the experience without a death.
