Berg, Joe Hague, nor Jarvis and Fred Graut Service Night and Day CE AKX KX KR EKETE R THE APPEAL FROM DEMOCRACY (The Independent) There is something very strange, not common to other revolutionary movements, about the activities of the Industrial Workers of the World. Rebels in all ages, whether they were right or wrong, whether they really represented the people or only a small faction of them, have risen against the few in the name of the many. They have appealed t> ““the masses’” for their vindication even when, as in the case of orthodox socialism, their appeal failed to bring all those whom they championed to their side. In our western, states we see today a radical labor group at war with the ocommunity without even the pretense that they are acting in the interest of the whole people or that under any political forms, whatever they could capture, and use the mlohlnery of the government. Both sides have been Jawless, but the lawlessness of the I, W. W. is that of the criminal or con- Hutfman & fl’lsaw FIIRHITUHE AN UNDERTAKING | llmmflm Phone 115,,\" o B | ) i“"mfimfi'r.

W. W. does not want the majority to rule, it doos 'mot pretend .to favor democracy, it repudiates the community. ‘The best known exponent of syndichlism in Europe, the French writer Sorel, finally became. a. monarchist. The average syndicalist, or industrial unionist, is not, of course, in favor of monarchy, but he often says that he would as willingly live under a kaiser as under the American govern- ment. He does not, like the anarchist, attack government directly as such, tt#l&t&tlmnttlnt clulllmss lls Ilm 1o Godliness 80 for God’s sake keep he is only indifferent to it because he knows that he cannot make use of clean. Come in and it. His methods are the secret destruction of property and the sudden be washed refusal to work at a critical moment in production—the methods best suited to a small minority that intends to coerce a community which is Bemm]l lulo lauld[y too numerous to be outvoted or outfought. His program is the seizure of all the means of production and distribution by a few thousand deter- mined men with no reference at all to the rights of the trader, the farmer, the clerk, the teacher, the doctor, the independent artizan or even the or- thodox trade unionist. These, apparently, must emigrate or starve. It 'is not a war of labor against capital; it is a revolt of the submerged tenth ‘igainst the nine-tenths. It is not Social Democracy; it is the Dictator- ship of the Disinherited.

If you put those kind of crops all on the market at once-it will cause a big decline in prices, and give the food speculator a chance to get the profit of your toil. Write Farm, Stock and Home for plans about the co-operative storage plan. Do not wait until the last day and give an order for farm laborers. Give your order to the local labor agents a few days in advance so that too many orders will not get in at once.

It would be cruel to call attention to the fact that this is the same Dr. Osler who contended that a man’s usefulness was ended at 50, and that he should then be chloroformed. FUNERAL DIRECTOR M. E. IBERTSON UNDERTAKER The Bemidji Pioneer editor became intoxicated with joy when he heard that county option had won out.—Baudette Region. The editor of the Pioneer would suggest that the editor of the Region try a Httlg of that brand. The Hon. Jeannette Rankin’s crusade for the relief of overworked employes of government departments seems to have met with the same reception as our efforts to collect certain of our dellnquen't subscriptions. Poor Jeannette! If you have borrowed this paper from your neighbor, be sure to re- ‘ e turn it when you have nnished reading it. He subscribed because he - paare wanted it.
