The~mine owners are not merely ® content to exploit the miners through the ordinary channels of the wage system, but exercise downright rob- bery of the miners at the scales. John Kenneth Turner who has got- ten inside information says ‘‘Ore big company alone in West Virginia has sold and received an annual f average of 840,000 tons of coal more than ever appeared on the payrolls, which at the average selling price ef $1.15 amounts to $966,000 con- verted by sheer theft from the min- ers each year by one operation.” This is really what the operators | of West Virginia are fighting to re- tain.” They would be willing enough to pay higher wages, but to have a check-weighman at the scales would mean millions of brazenly stolen wealth from the poorest of the poor That is why all law and constitutions | are set aside by the former attorneys of and stockholders in the mine cor- porations who now constitute the office holding clique of slave-ridden West, Virginia. The miners of the Somerset county section have always bitterly com- plained of like robbery. Some day the books of the Somerset county coal corporations are going to be opened, and then the most startling ' theft will likewise be shown here. What else can one expect? The capitalist system is cornerstoned on f the robbery of the workers, and so long as it lasts, robbery in one form or another will continue. The work- | ers must be knit closer together ina class-conscious army of emancipation. Union organization and socialist political action must go hand in hand and the struggle must go on nntil the workers win for society the collective ownership of the indus- tries. THE APPEAL TO REASON. After seyen years of persecution iby the United States Government, {started in Colonel . Roosevelt’s ad- ministration and- continued by Prof. Taft, in which the entire secret ser- vice force has hounded this valiant little paper, in. which the heroic Genl. H. G. Otis, of the notorious Los Angeles Times spent about $100.1 00 on a fake exposure, all the cases against the Appeal have been thrown out of court, there being noth- ing to hold its editors on. That such things can happen in}. this land of freedom of speech (?) is not so astounding to those. who know that the Appeal’s only crime has been the exposure of and the fight for the abolition of the capitalist system, and that under capitalism the goyernment is merely a commit- tee of the capitalist class to carry ov’ its will. The fight is not over, for the Appeal is going. right after ! the corrupt officials who have stoop- ed at nothing to bankrupt and put the paper out of business; and the conspirators including the brave? underhanded general H. G. Otis, may well quake in their boots. The workers are with youn, Com- rade Warren. More power to your fight. Our Fight. THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY. I love to go among my dear com- rades, the people, Loafing the streets with my spirit alert and approving, Not afraid to admit the bad with the good or losing faith when evil brags or blasphemes, Giving my whole self for the whole self of the crowd, Withholding nothing from the free interchange of the hours, Liberal with life as the crowd is liberal with life, In the sacred stream without ques- tion of precedence commingling. The mad sea tosses—the sea of my comrades. Horace Traubel. THE CLASS STRUGGLE AT HAR- RISBURG. Whoever thinks there is not a class struggle in society should read the accounts of the hearing at Harris- burg, Pa., on the Walnut Child Labor bill. There one witnesses the entire force of the Manufacturers Assn. represented by the most brilliant lawyers, pleading that they | be allowed. to continue the ruthless exploitation of little children in the mills and factories before a com- mittee elected by the workers but friendly to the exploiters; while op- posed to them stands the entire con- vention of the Penna. Federation of Labor under the leadership of that staunch Socialist and plain workmen, Jim Maurer, who vigor- ously smashes the arguments of the brilliant lawyers and silences that champion of graft and exploitation, Jim MeNichol. ROCKEFELLER SHOULD WORRY. The shares of the Standard Oil Trust which was busted by President Taft are soaring in anticipation of the cutting of a big melon, which means Profits. In spite of all the trust bust- ing hocus pocus by our capitalistic Supreme Court, it seems that the resurrection has come—for the Oil Trust.

LESSON FOR MAY 25. JOSEPH AND BENJAMIN. LESSON TEXT-—Gen. 43:18, 19, 23-34. GOLDEN TEXT—' ‘He that loveth his brother abideth in the light.” I John 2:10. Jacob’s plaintive cry as uttered in verse six of this chapter touches the heart of any father, but Gcd is work- ing out his plan unknown to Jacob. The brothers must have been im- pressed by Joséph’s words that they should dare starvatiom, and their fa- ther’s grief and anger, rather than re turn to Egypt witheut their brother Benjamin. Judah, whe before had seught to de- liver Joseph, new offers te become surety for Benjamin. Thus it was that Jacob was persuaded, but te make as good an impression az pes- sible with this strange Egyptian ruler Jacob directed that in addition te the necessary funds @ present alse be pre pared (48:11), amd remembering the strange return of the mensey befers, that this time & @suble portion be taken. Twe wesls will serve to ai vide the lessen. Fear and Feasting. Sought Mis Brether. iI. Fear, vv. 1825. Ordinarily such an invitatiea te Joseph's house would be comsidered a great honor, but in this strange land and possessed by guilty conseciemes we read, “Amd the men were afraid.” They who se carelessly sold their brother inte sla- very are themselves fearful of becom- ing “bondmen.” Joseph did seek am occasion against them but it was that he might secure his brother Benjamin (the ethers were enly half-brothers), to abide with him in Egypt. Netiee how eagerly they explain the matter of the meney im their sacks te the steward. The stewerd seeks te reas- sure them by telling them that, “yeur God, the God ef yeur father hath giv- en you treasure im‘ your sacks.” In- deed God had, but he gave them their blessing through’ snother. Evea so we through grace are blessed by means of another who is. our Joseph. Christ is constantly seeking to reas- sure our hearts. Il. Feasting, vv. 26-34. In last week’s lesson we beheld these broth- ers bowing before Joseph even as his dream had indicated (37:5-8) and now a second time they are on their faces before him. They had bragged that it should never be 80, “we shall see”: (87:20) and indeed they are now see- ing. That man who says to God “I will not” in the end is always com- pelled to do that very thing he in his pride said he would not do. Those who now mock our Joseph will in the end be compelled to do him obeisance, Rom. 14:11; Phil. 2:10. It was tHat Joseph might gain his brother Benja- ‘min that he mdde all of these delays in revealing himself to his other brothers. As we have seen Benjamin was Joseph's only full brother 30:22 etc., and had had no part in the con- spiracy against Joseph, hence Joseph's heart went out in great love for Ben- jamin, vv. 29-31. Joseph's tears were no sign of weakness but rather of strength, John 11:35; 2-Tim. 1:4. Such a manifestation of emotion ought never to be suppressed. Bold Pretense.: Joseph knew full well how to con- trol his emotions (v. 81) till the prop: er time. Joseph (v.27) is fearful that his father might have passed away yet his question does not reveal his iden: tity. We wonder if there must not have been some suspicion in the minds of these Hebrews when their Egyptian host told the exact order of their respective ageB, v. 33 (see also 44:12), and that perhaps Joseph might ‘after all be alive: Doubtless their guilty consciences were again aroused when they beheld their youngest brother singled out for such manifest partiality (v. 384). They; however, made a bold pretense and “drank largely,” R. V., making merry te cover their confusion. intoxication we do not know. Any- how they are not held before us as an example in this particular, nor does the biblical account demand that we defend them in this matter. This was a strange feast. The sight of Benjamin recalls, to Joseph the memories of home and mother and caused him to retire from the pres: ence of his brothers lest he reveal himself through his tears. Return- ing he restrains his emotions while at the same time his brothers are la- boring under the constraint of their fears. What differing emotions haunt- ing memories recall. Joseph’s mem- ories fill him with love and tenderness while the brothers are filled with sus- picion of the entertainment they are receiving. The golden text as applied to Jo- seph reveals the secret of the strength of his character. To abide in the light is to be always true to God. It means to reveal ultimately the mean- ing of the darkness. All of this comes | out more clearly when Joseph at last fully reveals himself to his brothers. To walk in the light alone will enable us to keep the golden rule for “Love is goodness in action.” This is a ten- i der lesson to relate to the young and | | | I questions as Emotion and Religion, | fife would be pretty monotonous. | for the older we might discuss such | What is it to walk in the light, The in- | tellect and emotions.

Curl The most common disease of the peach trees this year is the disease of the leaf }known as the Peach Leaf Curl, It causes the leaves to become swollen and abnormally red and bloteh- ed in color. It has been observed to be much worse upon trees like the | ““Elberta.’’ Numerous specimens have recently been sent to the office of State Zoologist H. A. Surface, Harrisburg, and to one inquiry con- cerning this disease he recently re- plied as follows: «Replying to your recent letter ask- ing about the disease of your peach leaves, I can say that, as yousuppose, they are infected with the leaf curl. In my bulletins I have said to spray with a strong fungicide, like Lime- sulphur Solution or Bordeaux mixture, before the leaves appear. A man who is in the peach growing husiness and his income depends upon it will do this, and not wait until he sees the disease on his leaves before he com- mences to give treatment. After the disease shows in the leaf, it is impos- i sible to cure that individual leaf, con- sequently, spraying now will do | nothing more than to help prevent the disease of some young leaves that are commencing to develope. The best tning to do now under the cir- cumstances, since you did not spray with Lime-sulphur Solution as direct- ed for San Jose Scale when the trees were dormant, would be to spray with two quarts of concentrated Lime- Lime-sulphur, i ment of Agriculture, Washington, D.- and spray with this once per week | Us MEYERSDALE, 'ing more for it at this time of year, sulphur Solution in fifty gallons of | water, or make up the soft-boiled | according to Scott’s| formula of the United States Depart | ET AL LE Deposit Vault, One Hundred Additional Safety Deposit Boxes | Which Will Rent for $1.00 Per Year our new, modern for the caring valuables, papers, jewelry, etc. of all kinds of Call and Examine Our Equipmerit —r “When I invest in a wagon I buy a Studebaker, then it’s Of course it is! a safe investment’’® Studebaker wagons are built on honor, with sixty years of wagon- building experience—and with every wagon goes a Studebaker guarantee.
