Socialist, unida or scab, drop your preconceived ideas and pet hobbies, and hink one honest thought and do one beroic deed for humanity's sake. Come out in the open and abso lutely refuse to work longer for your masters. Do this-peaceably, calmly, lawfully. A Declaration of Industrial Independence by the common people, would restore to them their birth right and forever put to flight the demon of greed and oppression. Let the wheels of commerce stop the graneries are full. Let the shops close our soil is still fertile. Let the mouey kings jingle their gold and threaten the mines are yet produc tive. Every man, woman and child is entitled to the full measure of his or her production; right is might and man can free himself from indus trial servitude in one single month if he would. Dare you do this thing', you who toil and delve in abject slav ery for the masters? Dare you? Does Humanity-Day mean any thing to you? Dare you all join a single thought and that thoughts liberty, now and forever1? If so, let us organize Humanity Day league and mean business? Who will be first? & F.

' NO WAR FOR HIM. T. H. C. use's the words of Thos. Paine, "The world' is my country, to do good is my relig- ' ion." After the last election the of- ficial count of the ballots showed that one million voters had shown their intelligence in voting for just such a ' a slogan in no other way than voting ' the Socialist ticket. Now, if all in dividuals who believe in the words of ' Thomas Paine would boost interna itonal socialism we could have one Gor, one country, one flag and one ' people in five years. Now, Mr. T.-H. C, what other meaning has the red flag than international socialism? Mrs. R. S., Indiana av. THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES. If there is a class of Tvoman.in this city that the moral laws ought to be applied to it is the woman who has forfeited all claim to the name she bears by leaving her husband. She cannot obtain a divorce from him for obvious reasons, and she takes three or four children and starts living year after 'year with some lazy, worthless man, a boarder and roomer, who does not work half the' time. These' brazen-faced imposters are a" disgrace to themselves, their chil dren, their parents and the com munity in which they live. A pri vate Investigation of their conduct andssociates establishes the fact, that the average prostitute is an angel whe'ri compared to them. They "JOKERS." I have been reading your Day Book since the first issue rand occasionally I read attacks on the gas, electric, leiepuuue auu sueeu car trusts.

The fact Ss, that the street car trust is not to blame as the ha-( ture of a trust is hunger for motfey and their only object is to get it no matter in what way. The one to be blamed for all these things is the Honorable Mayor Harrison, who signed franchises full of "jokers."' The "jokers" in the franchises were' not put there to blind the mayor. They were put there to blind the peo ple and some of theionest aldermen If the mayor could not discover the "jokers" himself he has a corporation counsel and skilled attorneys who could point them out to him. It 'is hardly possible for a few to slip a'ny thii.& over on a man who slipped it over two million people five times. I noticed "safety first" in large let ters on Carter's bill posters.
