Tisch, Grass Lake, Mich. I enclose two dollars and forty cents ($2.40) for which please send The Commoner one year to tho four per sons' names and addresses enclosed. I am very sorry that I had but two cards left,, and as I did not wish to keep two subscribers uritil 1 received more cards I trust that they will be accepted' anyhow without being sent in on subscription cards. I sold them all at 60 cents each. I feel well paid without money, knowing that I am doing something for the great democratic cause. These four sub scribers are true Jefferson, Jackson and Bryan democrats and can alwajs be trusted in their party. I also en close list of forty-six primary pledges. I sent my own pledge with another one sometime ago, making forty-eight in all. Among the pledge signers are Hon. W. W. Todd, present mayor of Jackson, also city attorney and city recorder, also Alderman James J. Keeley, president of the common counsel of Jackson. Mr. Keeley was delegate to the Chicago national con vention in 1896 and helped with all his power to nominate Mr. Bryan. Among the signers are all the best lawyers that can be found in this part of the state, also newspaper re porters and editors and best of all these are nearly all members of the Andrew Jackson club of Jackson county. It took me only a few min utes to get the subscribers and signers. I appeal to every democrat in this country to get his neighborhood to sign the pledge and, if possible, to subscribe for that great and glo rious paper, The Commoner. I will dcTall that is in my power to do for The Commoner, its editor and the democratic cause, and if more will do as I do, the democratic party will be crowned with the laurels of an over whelming victory in 1906-1908. S. Misner, Ogilby, Calif. I noticed in The Commoner of December 29, on pag) 15, that a majority of the sen ate committee are in favor of remov ing Reed Smoot from the senate be cause he is a iremter of a criminal orguniz.il ion, luit you do not say whether the criminal organization is the United States penate or the Mor mon church. I think the senate as it stands now is the greater evil of the two. A majority of the members of the senate are guilty of all kinds of crimes against God and man and the laws of the Jand. C. C. Obenchain, Greenville, Tex. Your reference, in reply to Mr. C. E. Mead's suggestion, to your denuncia tion of the so-called Osier theory, in Tho Commoner of August 11, reminds me that at the time I was strongly tempted to suggest wtiat I will now give and think is overlooked by both you and Mr. Mead. I am far vfrom assuming that Dr. Osier intended his remarks to be taken seriously as to the chloroforming sug gestion. Certainly he nor nobody else expected it would be done. And there is no danger that it ever will be done out of respect for the doctor's say so. Where a suicide has attributed his rash act to the wisdom of the doctor it has only been after he had ex hausted every means at his command to maintain an existence, and when tills was done without success the irony of Dr. Osier's theory very nat urally came to him, and he was quite willing to concede from his own ex perience, at least, that the doctor was right.

Chicago House Wrecking Co. - - 35th and Iron Stroete, Chicago a man to keep on living without any thing to eat or without being able to find work to got anything to eat, seems to have been as foreign to his mind as it is to yours or Mr. Mead's. In fact It seems to have been an hal lucination of these suicides that with out something to eat they could not live. In vindication of this idea, you say: "It is difficult to imagine any thing more pathetic than tho death of this St. Louis man. According to his own statement, he was old and poor, and ho Imagined that he 'had no busi ness on earth.' " He "imagined" he had no business on earth. "Imagined!" According to the old, man's own story (and every body credits that part of it that lays his act to the Osier theory) he made a strenuous effort to find "business" on earth, "but everybody smiled at him and said, 'we've got a man.' " The old man's failure to find that ho longer "had business on earth," I take it, was the true caii3e of his act, especially as lie was laboring under the delusion that without something to eat he could not live. Therefore at best he felt that his time was limited, and he put an end to it, in cidentally with a tribute to the wis dom of Doctor Osier. Now, not to make this letter too long, my idea, briefly, is that Doctor Osier is a scapegoat of no -utility in our appalling dilemma. There is no danger that his twaddle will hurry anyone out of this life surrounded with the comforts to make life endur able in this existence. When the struggle for men, even in middle life, for existence is a contest in which only the strongest and most alert suc ceed, what chance is there for the old and decrepit? When because of the usurpation by machinery of the field of production, human labor Is a grow ing surplus? A half century's age of machinery has dispossessed labor of five-sixths of the productive field and robbed it of four-fifths of its re ward. In fact as tills condition con tinues to grow, as grow it must with every improvement and invention, the labor or usefulness of men must grow in superfluity ; and our economic en vironment not having changed, Doc tor Osier's theory, by the mere force 'of conditions may become practical. It is up to the defenders of the com petitive system to analyze its prin ciples and take heed of Us resulta. Anti-Santa Claus, Cleveland, Ohio I am delighted with your comments on ray communications over the nom de plume of "Anti-Santa Claus." Es pecially am I glad that you under stand me so well and enter so heartily into the spirit of my suggestions. I sincerely hope our little correspond ence on this subject will lead to a healthy reform movement and that the press, as you suggest, will take it up, to which, as a working ' force, should be added the clergy. If these two powers will work together, the desired result will soon be obtained. The battle cry needs but few words: No more gifts of intrinsic value be tween adults except to the needy and the abolition of the street show-window display 'of holiday toy goods by the stores. Upon this latter practice, volumes could be written on the dis tress forced on the children by the sights of these things tempting them to hope and prayers that will not be answered, thus serving only to plant the seed of skepticism in their innocent little hearts. Now, I notice that you object to my nom de plume as being out of harmony with my ex pressed sentiments, yet I mean just what I said: I would rather retire the Good 'Old Man (Santa Claus) than have him any longer figure as the scapegoat of the outrageous wrongs complained of. But to modify the ap parent conflict I will now sub scribe myself conditionally "Anti-Santa Claus."
