The Fruits of Monopoly. According to morning press despatches the Huerta forces announce a number of victories for their arms over the Mexican insurgents. Referring to the activity of the followers of the rebel leader, Zapata, the government papers describe these as "the last struggles of a wounded beast." The stories that have come out of Mexico during the past two years of internecine warfare have always placed Zapata in a very bad light. He has been represented as being a brigand of the bloodiest kind and particularly ferocious in his methods of fighting. No doubt this is true. He and his followers probably are brigands. But whose fault is it? A man's life is worth living in direct proportion to what he gets out of it. If honest and constructive effort is rewarded on a basis of honest and fair payment, man's incentive is such as to cause him to desire peaceful ways in which to develop his constructive bent. If honest and constructive work is cheated of an honest and fair payment, man's incentive towards constructive work is lessened. Only pride of accomplishment remains to cause man in this position to put forth his best efforts. And a generation or two subjected to unfair treatment will naturally breed out that pride and produce a race of men who will deliver dishonest and slothful work for a dishonest and unfair payment. The law of compensation will not be denied. Such a system must end in monopoly. Mo

nopoly is but another name for slavery and slavery must be instituted, the power to enforce work must prevail, when an unfair and thieving system is superimposed upon one that is upright and just. The quintessence of trouble under such a system is reached when monopoly blooms and fruits. Its bloom poisons the air with the perfume of sweating bodies driven to their work by the lash. Its fruit is made bitter by the revolts of latent manhood unconsciously outraged by enslavement. In Mexico a peon's life' is worth living in direct proportion to what he gets out of it. And what does the Mexican peon get out of life? Slavery ! The land monopoly in Mexico is so strong that it has worked the enslavement of 15,500,000 peons. Five hundred thousand individuals composing 87,000 families own all the lands of the Republic of Mexico. And they also own body and soul their 15.500,000 fellow countrymen. These peons have been overworked and underpaid. The lash and bullets have been often called into use to keep the enslaved workers at their tasks. In fact, bullets are flying now in the tremendous effort being made by the monopolistic forces to kill off or drive back to their slave work the revolting peon-slaves. When a man has no property, when he and his are slaves his wife and daughters and all that implies what restraining influence is there, except fear, to keep him from going on the warpath against existing institutions, brigandage? And when that slave finally realizes that death is preferable to enslavement, not even fear of his masters' bullets will hold him in leash. History is full of examples proving this proposition. Why should the brigand be nice in his methods of war against existing and wrongful institutions and the individuals representing them or blindly obedient to them or only passively resisting them? His sensibilities of humaneness and of justice have been bred out of him by the inhuman oppression of his ancestors. Call him a fiend in human form. He is such and such is but representative of the fiendishness of the system that produced him and his kind. Kill off as many of them as you can hunt down, and you will never exterminate them. You can not destroy the root that nourishes brigandage and outlawry without destroying monopoly. For monopoly is the root that gathers up the nourishment of the many and gives it to the few. That results in fatty degeneration of the clear und fair thinking facilities of the few and malnutrition and neurasthenia for the many. And when the few take more than they are entitled to they are just as much brigands as those individuals trom amongst the many who try to "even up" by taking the law into their own hands. Mexico will never see an end to "the struggles of the wounded beast" as long as Doctor Monopoly is attending to the patient. He can neither cure nor kill. He can only prolong the agony. When the case is turned over to Doctor Anti-Monopoly the "beast" will be cured for that physician will use as his curative agent the medicine that removes the cause. And remember, Doctor Monopoly today controls the world. Not only in Mexico but also in . the United States you find him at his hellish work. Think of this the next time you read of I. W. W-ism and dynamite outrages in your own country.

"ROADS THE BEST INVESTMENT" . A Seattle Judge Complimented British Columbia on Spending 16 Million Dollars From the Vancouver World. "History does not tell of a better investment than you four hundred thousand people of British Columbia have made by spending 16 million dollars in three years on the roads of your province," said Judge J. T. Ronald of Seattle in a recent address to the Progress Club. Judge Ronald quoted figures to prove his contention that good roads were essential to a country's prosperity and he quoted more figures to show that bad roads caused a tremendous annual loss. "If I had all the money lost in the United States each year for ten years because of bad roads," said the judge, "I could pay off the interest on the national debt, build a Pana ma Canal, build three magnificent roads Kast and West across the continent, do much other good work and still have 100 million dollars left." Someone laughed in doubt, but the judge followed up his statement with figures and he easily demonstrated his argument. The average cost a ton of hauling farm produce an average distance of nine miles to a market or to a railway depot over poor roads in the United States is $2.07. This is computed from figures collected over a period of ten years. That figures out at twenty-three cents on a ton a mile. On good roads over the same distance the cost is eight cents a ton a mile. The loss on bad roads, says the judge, is $1.35 a ton for every ton hauled in the last ten years over bad roads. The tonnage hauled to depots and to markets and the tonnage hauled back from markets and depots to farm approximate 300 million tons in the 10-year period. Losing $1.85 a ton over bad roads, the judge figures that the total loss in the 10-year period has been 405 million dollars, a tariff to muddy roads, as he phrases it.

New York Suffrage Leader ai the Capitol

THE HAPPY MAN

He is the happy man whose life even now Shows somewhat of the happier life to come; Who, doomed to an obscure but tranquil state, Is pleased with it, and, were he free to choose, Would make his fate his choice; whom peace, the fruit Of virtue, and whom virtue, fruit of faith, Prepare for happiness; bespeak him one Content indeed to sojourn while he must Below the skies, but having there his home. The world o'erlooks him in her busy search Of objects, more illustrious in her view; And, occupied as earnestly as she, Though more sublimely, he o'erlooks the world. She scorns his pleasures, for she knows them not; He seeks not hers, for he has proved them vain, He can not skim the ground like summer birds Pursuing gilded flies; and such lie deems Her honors, her emoluments, her joys. Therefore in contemplation is his bliss. Whose power is such that whom she lifts from earth She makes familiar with a heaven unseen, And shows him glories yet to be revealed. Not slothful he, though seeming unemployed, And censured oft as useless. Stillest streams Oft water fairest meadows, and the bird That flutters least Is longest on the wing. William Cowper, from "The Task," Book VI.

VERY EASILY EXPLAINED. New York World. How the senate can spend so much time in session and make so little progress with the work of tariff revision would seem inexplicable if it were not public business.
