No, it is not Taft, It is our old
friend teeth-a-jar, the political Dr.
Cook. He isn’t all the wild things
that the judge sets forth. He's
just a stool pigeon for the Unite '
States Steel trust. Morgan ami
sea. Last week’s Rebel declared the White Star
Line had murdered over 1400 men, women and children; that their
oath was not accidental but the result of criminal stinginess, mani-
fested in failure to provide enough lifeboats to carry crew and pas-
sengers in ease of shipwreck.
Three days later the Houston Chronicle, first of the dailies to
his friends control. The other get this big central fact out of the news of the disaster; carried the
gentleman spoken of above, six fallowing headlines, three columns wide, on its front page:
“1500 PEOPLE NOT DROWNED
BUT CRUELLY MURDERED ON
TITANIC, SOBS MRS. HARRIS.
If the dream of the Socialist
would come true many a poor fel-
low of Socialistic ideas, who is now
getting good pay and working
short hours, would be out of a job.
In other words the want to “kill
the goose that lays the golden egg.
We believe in organized capital as
well as organized labor. We do
not believe, though, that organized
capital should become rich at th.*
expense of labor but believe th"i
they should have a legitimate pro
fit on their investment. We be-
lieve skilled labor should receive
compensation that will support
them and their families in a com
fortable way and enough to lav
away for a rainy day. In permit-
ting the trusts to grow unscrupu-
lously rich under its administra-
tion, the Republican party has
done more to spread Socialistic
ideap than anything else.—Schu-
lenburg Sticker.
All of which goes to show that
Brother Winfree does not know
what Socialism ' means. Would
anyone imagine for one moment
that if, for instance, the railways
were taken over by the people(the-
government) no employes would
be needed to run them the same
as is now the case, under private
ownership? In fact many more
men would he needed because un-
der Socialism the hours of all
workers Would be reduced to a
minimum and the wages increased
to a maximum. All non-produc-
tive labor would be abolished so
this can be done. The same logic
applies to every other great indus-
try that the Socialists propose to
take over in the name of the people

to put the money kings in power

Things are humming in Halletts-
▼ille, Texas. Mr. Zikes 'Panek
launched a semi-monthly German
paper last week. The name is Habt
Acht. The price is 35c per year;
it is splendidly edited and German
comrades should get busy on it.
The same comrade is publishing a
Bohemian semi-monthly at 25c per
year, the title of it is Pozor. It is
making a big hit among the Bo
hemians.E.R. Meitzen our ex-state
secretary, has turned the Weekly
New Era into a semi-weekly. Tt
now appears on Tuesdays and Fri-
days. Then comes The Rebel go-
ing onto the 25,000 mark, not yet
ten months old, and barring the
Appeal, has the largest circulation
of any Weekly Socialist newspaper
in the United States. As a result
of this tremendous work, the peo-
ple of Hallettsville where four oth-
er papers are published, proudly
point to the fact that more papers
are published in Hallettsville than
in any town of its size in the Unit-
ed States. The people are learning
that it was ever thus, where live
Socialists dwell.—The Rebel.
GUESS AGAIN.
Supreme Court -Justice W. O.
Howard of Troy is reported as
saying of a certain gentleman:
“He has the daring of a mad-
man, the instinct of a beast.
“The temper of the populace he
knows better than any other man
alive. He is actuated by an appall-
ing ambition. It is his fixed pur-
pose that neither the fame of Cae-
sar nor the renown of Napoleon
shall eclipse him.
“He ignores all obstacles, ene-
mies, scruples, principles, promises
friends, criticism, commendation,
pledges, or the dangers of disgrace.
He is a stranger to cowardice. Tn
battle he is ruthless! Opposition

San Antonio, Tex., April 20.
—Particulars of an accident
to a Southern Pacifice loco-
motive at Standart, in which
a fireman named R. Garcei-
sei had his leg broken and
was sverely burned, have
not been given out by the of-
ficials of the company here.
The injured fireman was
brought here and taken to
the Santa Rosa Infinmary
for treatment. It is said
that the crown sheet of the
engine burned out.
Standart is a small town on the
first freight division out of San
Antonio. Every other daily pa-
per in Texas has the story blank-
eted. The Rebel wishes to make
another prediction. Inside of fif-
teen days another big mogul pas-
senger engine will go up, and
probably a big loss of life will
result. Reason for the prediction:
There is no skill in the shops,
strike breakers are rum dumb and
never had any ^skill anyhow, no
clearance paper showing skill is
demanded, hence the employees
and the traveling public are
facing dangers of a Titanic sort;
now comes the question what
about these railroad commission-
ers? Colquitt is running for re-
election, why don’t he act? Ram-
sey is'running for- office, why
don’t he say something? What has
become of Williams? Is Allison
sober? Where has John L»
Wortham ducked to? The Rebel
will pay a small reward to the
first man answering these ques-
tions.
when a man with any spark of courage or self=respcct would have
! stepped aside to make room for one of the line’s betrayed passen-
| gers. Two or three days later the dailies contained ths news.
If Socialism were" not needed for any other reason on earth, it
would be vitally needed in order to restore freedom to the American
r‘ress without which human liberty cannot be maintained except by
frequent bloody revolutions.
Where all the people can read and can get the facts about ini-
j portant public matters to read, and where they can change condi- jX. Y. Z. care of New Era, Hal-
tions peacahly by casting their votes and getting them counted for ilettsville’ Tex- jl2-2mp
necessary changes, there will never be a revolution under arms.

WOMAN.
(By Carrie W. Allen.)
Said a man to a woman textile
worker with whom he was discus-
sing the question of suffrage for
women: “You shouldn’t mix
up with politics. Your place is in
the home.”
The weaver measured the man
with steady eyes, and replied:
“Then why doesn’t the Harmony
Mills pay my husband enough to
keep me there?”
There was no answer. The man
walked away.-

“ I suffered, during girlhood, from womanly weakness,”
writes Mrs. Mollie Navy, of Walnut, N. C. “At last, I was
almost bed-ridden, and had to. give up. We had three
doctors. All the time, I was getting worse. I had bad
spells, that lasted from 7 to 28 days. In one week, after 1
gave Cardui a trial, 1 could eat, sleep, and joke, as well as
anybody. In 8 weeks, I was well. I had been an invalid
for 5 weary years 1 Cardui relieved ine, when everything
else failed.”
CARDU I WomatfsTonic
If you are weak and ailing, think what it would mean,
to you, to recover as quickly as Mrs. Navy did. For more
than 50 years, this purely vegetable, tonic remedy,for women,
has been used by thousands of weak and ailing sufferers.
They found it of real value in relieving their aches and
