nist ali ewiaati canbe TAR WIPATE RS Working the Venal Press Already the hand-fed press is rushing to the defense of Wood, the wool trust president indicted for planting dynamite at Lawrence. Listen to the New York Financial World: “It would be hard for the mind of man to conceive of any- thing more ridiculous and unjust than such an attac k upon one] of the most honorable and most respected business men of this country, one of the great master minds of American business life.” Watch that case against Wood. He is one of the master minds who has got “honorable” and “respected” through squeezing the life out of the poor people, and they'll try and acquit him in the mongrel trade organs, if possible. Wood is as guilty as Ettor, and neither of them is guilty until proved so upon fair trial in court. But Ettor swelters for months in a prison cell, while Wood walks the streets an “hon- erable, respected master mind” because he's rich. It would be interesting to know who is paying for the mailing of marked copies of the Financial World, containing abuse of the grand jury that indicted Wood. Getting Adding Machines The recent primaries have brought close to our attention that with all the facilities of the modern telegraph and telephone, it still took more than a week to discover who was the demo- cratic nominee for governor. Several of the contests on the Other tickets were undetermined for a similar period. is really amazing that such delays should be possible But they are, and they will be more so in the future unless we can have election counting machines like they have in parts of New York, Massachusetts and other places. We expecte= and we rather hopo—that in the future we will have on the elec- tion boards men and women who are not professional ward heelers. The latter gentry had some means in the past of get- ting their count quickly. Honest officials are more painstak- fg and their count is slower. They haven't got the experience with the ballots as the professionals. Adding machines would help them out considerably. The opportunities for fraud would be reduced to a minimum, and within an hour after the polls tlosed we could learn the results, Progressive Washington should adopt the election counting machines. It NO MAN is good enough or wise enough to be another Man's master. ANWHOW, Taft can beat Teddy out of his title of “our ‘only living ex-president,” and we sure want to see Bill beat somebody at something.

PHILADELPHIA LEDGER says that Hiram Johnson is the most humiliating character in American history. He is indeed humiliating the fellows who have their hands in other folks pockets. “AVOID the married man!" advises Miss Estelle Massey, ‘ef St. Louis, who loved Rev. W. T.

THE working class makes the bayonet, sharpens the bay- ‘Pact, polishes the bayonet, and finally “patriotically” thrusts the bayonet into the working class—for the benefit of the em- ploying class.
