I Is crime a curable disease? ; Can men who bare offended against jthe world bo turned from their grosser I selves and made over into their better (selves? i Judge Lindsey, the Denver children's (Judge says it may be done if you be I fin lirtime. 1 When he eommits a bad boy to the ', reform school he puts hlua on the train, buys his 1 ticket and sends the I boy alone to report to the school authorlties. He puts the boy on honor, 1, asking only his personal pledge. ; Out of hundreds of such cases but one boy has ever betrayed his trust. But the older criminals? Can the disease of crime be cured when the disease has grown to be chronic? Governor Hunt thinks so. He is governor of Arizona, and ho makes the same appeal to the slumbering sense of honor which Liadsey makes to his boys. He believes that the feeling of honest manhood is never quite extinguished in the human breast. He trusts men. Governor Hunt sends hardened criminalsthieves, burglars and murderers on missions of trust He sends them by train or on horseback over the mountains, with money to pay their expenses, hundreds of miles away. Nobody watches them. All he exacts is their word of honor that they will 1 do the errand and return. And . They do return! Not one of these calloused prisoners 1 has ever broken his word to the governor. He treats them as if they were honorable men. He lets them see that he ' believes they are not wholly bad. He banks on their sense of honor, and they regard their obligation as binding. He does not preach. " He relies on manhood. . And somewhere down deep in some corner of their souls he finds the spot where honor lives. You say this is revolutionary and will destroy the discipline of a penitentiary? But It succeeds! ' You say it is experimental and may fail with some? But it has not failed! Maybe the governor of Arizona has learned a secret of the human heart i revealed 2,000 years a?o by a young I prophet of Galilee, who was able to I change' sinful harlots into saints and ' common fishermen into martyrs. CASCAROYAL-PILLS CORRECT. Most laxative and cathartic medicines tend to aggravate constipation. Blackburn's CaseaRoyal-Pills really ,are corrective. Take one each night ifor a week or two.

Newest Form of Labor Revolution; "Syndicalism" Nature of Doctrines

Editor's Note. The following article oa "Syndicalism should be read by every thinking man and woman of this community. It presents in a very clear and concise form the outlines of what may be a great social menace, as great, at least, as the present day menace 3f Increased plutocratic control over the wealth and lives of our citizens. The author, Mr. H. L. Haywood, who Is pastor of the local Universalist church, is very prominent In local socialist endeavor and by reason of his unmistakably clear understanding of the great social struggle now going on and Its underlying causes is particularly well fitted to explain and discuss "Syndicalism." BY H. L. HAYWOOD. Vast, portentious, bristling with threats, it Is the most menacing cyclone that has ever gathered over our industrial and political horizons. Its motive power is the primitive urge of hunger and want and a blind fury of desperation brewed from the bitter gall of oppression and injustice. It is gathering Into itself millions of irresponsible, fearless and desperate men. Already it has the majesty and momentum of a world movement. Its aim Is nothing less than the utter destruction of our present society in one violent cataclysm and the erection of a new world in the ruins of the old. Alongside the upheaval for which it is preparing the French Revolution will be as the pop of a toy pistol and the Civil War as the smoking of a dirty chimney. Imagine an Italian Black Hand Society grown to international dimensions with its recruiting sta tions in every city of the globe, with its entire lack of reverence for anything that exists, its huge indifference to blood, Its wolf-like fearlessness, its terrible, fatal persistency, and you have some idea of the character of Syndicalism. Not a Philosophy. Syndicalism is not a philosophy. It is a movement. It did not originate in the midnight lucubrations of some closet dreamer but sprang from actual conditions. Just as Cadmus's warriors sprang full armed from the dragon's teeth, so has Syndicalism within half a decade leapt into full-grown existence panoplied for ba tie. The word Itself is of French origin and means literally, "Like Labor Unions" but that does not describe the thing itself. The "London Times," in the exposition most universally accepted, defines it as "The aim to turn over the instruments of production and exchange to the members of the trades unions who now operate them so that each union will control its own means of livelihood in the common interest thus giving the laborer the full product" but this does not explain it. Syndicalism does not theorize about the whys and wherefores, it has produced no school of "intellectuals," nor has it written any by-laws or constitutions, it is the name of a real movement now in progress and now actually at work. In the past year alone it has engineered the greatest strikes in the history of industry and has been the inspiration to others, all of which, in round numbers, have cost the world one billion dol lars. As one astute observer has put it, "Syndicalism is sweeping over the world like a prairie on fire." In 1910 it precipitated the paralyzing railroad strike of France, a few months ago it suddenly sprung on the British nation three immense strikes, the railroaders', miners' and dockers'; it was behind the weavers strike at Lawrence, Massachusetts and is now at open war with the Canadian Pacific Railroad. Everywhere it is actively at word, secretly or overtly as the case may be, fomenting revolution. International Program. Syndicalism is not a philosophy it is a war, and therefore, while they do not stop to theorize, their leaders are ever busy at their plans. Already they have evolved an international program. Their first aim is to organize1 all workers." into industrial unions. For the craft unions with which we are fami liar they have only contempt. Instead of an engineers' union, a conductors' or a brakemen's. the Syndicalist hopes to organize one big rail-roaders' union. so also with sailors, steel-workers, transportationists, telegraph opera tors, miners and etc. All the workers in each basic industry will be organized Into a single union. Their next step is to form a complete federation of these unions and thus weld the wor kers in all the fundamental industries into a solid unit. This done they will prepare for their great final venture, the most audacious plan ever invented by man, "The General Strike." This means that when the time Is ripe and the workers are prepared all will lay down their tools thus paralyzing industry, demoralizing society and tying up the government hand and foot. With no trains running, no telegrams to be sent, no grain being shipped, no meat being packed, no food being hauled ; the teeming populations of our great cities will be hurled to the edge of starvation and a reign of terror will ! have been inaugurated. At this critical nour of national hopelessness and helplessness the Laboring Class will step in and forcibly take into its own possession all the factories, mines railroads, mills, and every means of social production and distribution, the boss will be driven from his office or his palace, all the soft-handed para sites will be sent to work or left to starve, and the huge machine of industry will begin to move with Labor at the wheel. The next step in the program is to abolish our political government and obliterate in toto all our present political boundaries and distinctions. For what is the government, demands the Syndicalist, but a creature functioning in the service of the dominant Capitalist class? it is wholly superfluous and as for our present boundary lines, they are purely imaginary and meaningless. Let us In its stead organize a National Industrial Federation Each industry will be managed by a hoard of control.

the members of which will be elected by popular vote and controlled by the initiative, referendum and recall; these government boards will themselves constitute a national governing board which will be the final court of

appeals and jurisdiction. Each man will be compelled to enter one of the national industries, work his daily stint, and be a citizen, not of Ohio or Indiana, but of this Union or that We will tolerate no drones in the hive. Educating The Workers. At the present moment Syndicalists are everywhere busy at work carrying out this program. Just now, their greatest concern is to educate the workers for the coming war. For this their chief means is the strike; not the old-fashioned strike for shorter hours and more pay, but a new invention which they call the "irritation strike." The effect of the irritation strike is two-fold; it trains the workers to act together, disciplines them in obedience, reveals the men or women with power for leadership, stirs their passions, deepens their classconsciousness, and increases their hai" v u vJ. iu; i uviuj , II, v. aid 1UIU I , profit and power of the boss and thus weakens the enemy. While on strike each union is supported by those1 which remain at work and thus the dream of every labor leader' the union of the workers will be realized. After returning to work, which is a move usually as unexpected as the walkout, each Syndicalist is under instruction to practice "sabotage." Sabotage means to "cut down the profits of the boss by any means that will work." Usually "passive lawless violence" is used; that is to say that the worker secretly destroys the property of the boss and does it in such a way that he will not get caught; perhaps he fall3 with a box of cut-glass, or pulls one screw from a machine, or drops a bale of silk into the water. When all in a shop or on a boat are doing this no Individual can be held responsible and the profits of the boss are cut into and that of course, weakens the enemy, for profit, as everyone knows, is the backbone of capitalism. Is "Direct Action." From this it is plain that the differentiating principle of Syndicalism is "Direct Action." That famous phrase was first used by Pelloutler while secretary of the French Federation of Labor and means that the worker can come to the conclusion that the slow, tedious and indirect methods of politics are found wanting and that 1 the time has come for the working class to act "directly." The Syndical ist is a labor rebel, he is not going to waste his years toying with the game of politics. No parleying, no compromising, no truce, but war to the death is his shibboleth, and he is going to expropriate capitalism, not by the complex machinery of laws and taxa tion but by the sheer power of his hands. It is at this crucial point that Syn dicalism parts company from SocialIsm; both have this in common, that the workers can never receive the full product of their toil until through a revolution in its fundamental princi ple society is shifted from the basis of individual ownership and control to collective ownership and control, but the Socialist would do this indirectly and chiefly through political means, expecting that as the workers by unit ed action at the ballot-box gain control of the law-making and law-enforcing functions of the government they can gradually modify our constitutional bases until the revolution has been effected. And when that revolution is effected, expects the Socialist, the in dustries will not be owned by the operatives of the same but by all the people. He believes in industrial unionism as a means for educating and uniting the proletariat and as furnishing a tool to its hand, but he does not believe that society can ever be or should ever be, wholly Industrial. The Socialist is also at loggerheads with the Syndicalist in regard to the interpretation of government. Like the our government at present functions for and is wholly under the control of the ruling class, but unlike the Syndicalist, he does not hold that this is the essence of political government. Our political government is a method of collective control which, in its contemporary form, is the expression of our industrial system, and is in the hands of capitalism because capitalism controls our Industrial system. Hatred Not Preached. The Socialist preaches the classstruggle but not personal hatred, be CERTAINLY ENDS ST01GH MISERY.

Olive Tablets do not contain calomel or any other metallic drugs; they are a purely vegetable compound i mixed with olive oil, sugar-coated, easy to take, and never grippe or cause weakness. Thousands of people take one every night at bedtime just to prevent disorder of the liver, constipation, bad breath, pimples, headache, etc. Dr. Edwards, calomel's old enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets after seventen years of practice among patients afflicted with liver and bowel troubles. Try them for a week. Take one on retiring nightly. "Every little Olive Tablet has a movement all its own." 10c and 25c per box. The Olive Tablet Company, Columbus, Ohio. (Advertisement) repudiates all violence and "sabotage" whatever as an effectual means for revolution, he is a revolutionist in principle but an evolutionist in tactics, he is sure that capitalism is breaking down of its own weight and that ultimately the people will discover that it is only weight and that ultimately the people will discover that it is only through their owning and controlling all social means of production, distribution and exchange that they can maintain a democracy and secure their economio independence. But the Syndicalist is impatient of evolution, he can't wait until the chick is born so pants to break the shell, he sees no good worth preserving in the present system and would hurl it all into perdition at one blow, and then, while the race is still quaking and raw from that violent cataclysm, that supreme orgy of coercion and blood, would suddenly and arbitrarily erect in the ruins his industrial democracy. All a dream, you say? A night mare, rather, but a nightmare in which we can discover how bitter and how vio lent is the sense of oppression, injusttce and degradation under which the whole workicg-claes is laboring, by means of which we can measure somewhat of the vile Iniquity and shame of that exploiting system against which this is so raw a reaction. All a dream, you say. It may be so. But one thing is certain the strikes, the upheavals, and the disturbances now at work are no dreams, and the bloodier and still more disastrous general strikes for which Syndicalism is preparing will bo no dream either. If you think so, just leave our sleepy little village for a month and visit the cen ters of agitation in our great strategic points of industry, San Francisco, Chi cago, Birmingham, Pittsburg and New York. Your eyes will be opened there and you will return feeling that we have on this continent the liveliest time ahead of ns that the race has ev er known. The First Lesson of an Arab Boy. The very first lesson which an Arab baby learns when he begins to talk is to keep facts to himself. It does not sound very friendly put In that way. but It saves a deal of trouble. Foreigners do not understand Arabs. They ask them pointed questions and receive peculiar answers. They con strue the answers to please themselves and come away to tell the world that the Arabs are a nation of liars. They are not a nation of liars.

Andrews sailed on the Titanic, certain, as he wrote to his wife, that the ship would "do the old firm credit." A survivor has told how, after the collision. Andrews busied himself with helping women into the boats and directing the rescue work in other ways. This is the story of bis last moments: One met him bareheaded and carry-; ing a lifebelt on his way to the bridge, nerhaos to bid the ear-tain eoodhv. Later an assistant steward saw him standing alone in the smoking room. his arms folded over his breast and the belt Ivinsr on a table near him. Tha steward asked him, "Aren't you going to have a try for It, Mr. Andrews?" He never answered or moved. "Just stood like one stunned." Others saw him a few minutes before the end on the boat deck, our final and grandest sight of him, throwing deck chairs overboard to the unfortunates struggling in the water below. He Obeyed Orders. Sir Henry Roscoe tells this of the scientist Faraday and bis assistant. Sergeant Anderson: "Anderson was the sole assistant to Faraday and of course was utterly uneducated in scientific matters, but he could obey orders, which is not always a characteristic of an educated man. One day Anderson was told by Faraday to keep stirring a pot containing some chemicals over a fire until he returned, Faraday being in the habit of going v;pstalrs to tea in nis rooms ana coming aown directly afterward to work in the laboratory during the evening. For some reason he was prevented from coming down again and forgot that he bad told Anderson to watch the pot. On coming down the next morning he found Anderson still stirring the pot, having been at it the whole night and thus carrying out the order which was given him." His Advice Worked. "And don't forget to climb, boy," said the later day Polonlus as he parted from his college bound son; "climb and keep a-climbtn'." "I won't forget, dad," said the boy. "Goodby." ; He didn't forget Three days later he climbed over the prostrate forms of twenty-seven disabled sophomores and, climbing the greased pole to the hated upper class emblem, yanked ft from its fastenings, thereby winning a place in the esteem of his fellow students that a score of scholarships eouldnt equal. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Dead as a Doornail. "As deed as a doornail" at first seems utterly senseless, but becomes lively and picturesque when we remember that knockers were once universally used. Beneath the knocker, in order to prevent disfiguring the door, a large nail or bolt was driven. An impatient caller, waiting - for the door to be opened, would frequently nse the knocker with great force, and the lrresponsiveness of the nail gave rise to this expression.

I always tried to make an honest living and worked hard. With my savings I went into business on Fort Wayne avenue. During twelve months there no complaint was made aerainst me other than I was compelled to throw a drunken white man out of my place for which I paid a fine for assault. For a year I have run a hotel at 416 Main street, and never have the police had opportunity to back up the patrol and take men and women from my hotel. Such a thing would please some of the negroes of Richmond and the police, but it has never occurred. When I approached Attorney Johnson in court Friday 1 was angry Decause ne naa abused my j character and insinuated that my 1 hotel was notorious This was un i 4ct nnrf u nntrort just and it angered me just as it would a white man who was trying to do right." 2-lt Thousands of Tons ef DuX. According to the estimates of a government expert, who has given much attention to the study of the remarkable phenomena of dust and sand storms in the arid regions of the west every cubic mile of the lower air during an ordinary "dry storm" contains at least 235 tons of dust while In severe storms of this kind as much as 12G.000 tons of dust and sand may be contained in a cubic mile of air. Dust storms sometimes last for twenty or thirty hours. Exchange.

While traveling upon the continent bo visited a certain mountain inn, which was la winter, he learned, occupied only lj two men. These men. prisoned in a waste of snow and ice. had for all that period no communication with th world below. Here was a situation for a novelist! And the novelist accordingly began to let his imagination play aNut the posslhllte of trajredy surrounding the two men on their mountain height. But the story was never written, for. happening to come upon a volume of Guy de Maupassant which was new to him. he found therein, under the title of "L'Auberpe." the verT story he bad meant to write. The Herons of Andalusia. Of all the birds he had studied, said W. Farren in a lecture, none showed conjugal affection iu quite the same way as the brown backed herons of Andalusia, in Spain. Whenever the hnsband relieved his wife at the nest he invariably lata tu necK over tiers m a momentary embrace and then took up his position while the other bird flew away. The herons never omitted this affectionate salutation. London Stand ard. jjfen&flgg City Ticket Agent peckiae.
