That is what results from a people

Mr. Wilshlre makes the following
t-omewhat astonishing statement in the
August number of his magazine, page
8. He adopts the republican iasnion
of calling the social democrats of Ger
many "socialists" and then says: "The
socialists In Germany have exactly tne
same platform fundamentally mat an
t,ccialist3 have the whole world over,
viz: the demand for the ownership of
the machinery of wealth production by
the people and its administration dem
ocratically." Will Mr. Wilshire print
the platform of the social democratic
party of Germany? The independent
has printed it two or three times.
It Is announced that Morgan has
perfected his plan and the four hard

one organization. There is now a com- j

will control the prices for next win
ter's coal. Prepare to make your con
tributions to Baer and Morgan and
aiter that go and "vote 'er straight."
There is nothing like being a mullet
head.
The coolness with which a republi
can daily will lie is shown in a re-
lr ark by the Indianapolis Journal in
speaking of the chart that was used

showing the range of prices of wheat

this chart might look somewhat out of
tune just now. The Chicago price
of wheat at that writing was 81 cents
snd of silver 55 cents. Since the pros
pect that the governments of the
world would re-establish bimetallism
at the ratio of 32 to 1 silver has ad
vanced 11 cents an ounce. It is prob
able that every mullet head who read
the above item in the Indianapolis
Journal actually believed that he was
retting $1 a bushel for his wheat
That is the way they are made.

Our Fall Trm Opens September 7.
Why not decide now that you will take a course this year in business or
shorthand and typewriting? Why not decide now that you will tike the
course at the Modern Commercial School where the instruction is the best,
where the equipments are the best, where the courses of study are the
most practical, where the instructors will take a personal interest in you
and do all they can to help you, where personal instruction will enter large
ly into your work, where the expenses are the lowest for the quality of
work you receive. Why not decide now to begin this course September 7
at the opening of our fall term. Our catalogue is free, shall we 6end it to
you. J. L. STEPHENS, Pres.

ThP rerfint decision of Judge Rogers
at St Louis legalizing the black list
is another step toward the degradation
of the courts to subservient tools of
capitalists. It shows that the courts
nre willine to contradict and overturn
their own interpretations of -the law
whenever it is to the interest of large
accumulations of wealth to do so. The
courts have held constantly that the
boycott was illegal, that it could not
be employed to injure a firm's or an
individuals business. In Great am
ain, and it is from there that our
courts set their precedents and their
inspiration, the jails have been filled
with persons charged with boycotting.
The Eendine out of a "black list"
which prevents a man from obtaining
employment at his vocation, is simply
. hovcott and nothine else. The deci
sion of Judce Rogers therefore is that
the capitalistic class can boycott, but
the men who work for wages cannot
is it not about time that these wage-
workers ceased to cast their ballots
for the party that puts such judges as
Rogers on the bench?

That the railroads have some big
scheme that they want the supreme
court of this state to sanction no rea
sonable man can doubt. They wanted
to know their man and how he stood
on that question and having found out

allowine the different republican rail
road attorneys to hght It out among
themselves. Months beforehand they
:ricked their man. and there was not a
republican attorney in the state that

to the editor of The Independent some I
veeks ago that t would oe tony tor
anv lawver to announce himself a can
didate after the railroads had made
their selection, for he could no more
ret. a nomination in a republican con-
ention with the railroads against mm

man in the state knows that to be true.
