re“- .--w _ aw. 3: W Wage Slavery, The mode of exploitation at the ‘j-present time is that of wage slavery. 'The Socialists are aiming to abolish Wage-slavery, and to prevent any otb~ -er form of slavery from taking its ,place. There are many workers who *think they are free. They do not ‘think of things as they are, but of things as they have 'been told they = are by those who know no better, or who knowingly deceive the workers. ’The Socialists who eXplain the organi- 2zation of society, and lay bare the sys- tem whereby men are enslaved to oth- ers, are teaching the workers the way 1 to escape from their bond condition, A and to walk free men in a free world. There are three things which men :must have to liveâ€"food, clothing and I shelter. There are two other things which every human being should have â€"â€"â€"instruction and amusement. Food, clothing and shelter are produced by the labor of men’s hands and brains. . Instruction and amusement also need ":the expenditure of mental and physi- «cal energy to be obtained. For the production. of food, clothing and shel- ter there are necessary material things â€"lands and machinery. Those who sown these things in a concentrated nnanner have control of the lives of 'Tthose who do not have these things. Those who have not must go to ‘zthose who have to get the means of ii‘life. Those who- own tell the expro- " gpriated ones that they will give them «certain sums of money if they will en- 'Iter the places of production and work etc produce food and clothing, and to ibuild houses and buildings for shelter- iing men andbeasts. ‘With these sums Ithe workers can go and buy, at the 3places the owners have erected, the zmeans of life. Thus the workers sell Ytheir labor power, day by day, for a wage with which to purchase the ne- ecessaries of life. All that they pro- duce goes to the owners of the means tof productionâ€"â€"to the parasite class. , f But this parasite class surrenders back 'to the wage slaves a part of what they have produced in return for the wages given them. In this manner the slaves web but a fraction of the wealth they lhave produced. The rest goes to the nnaster class, who are forever squander- iing the wealth thus acquired. The Socialists say “Let us abolish wage slavery. Let us put the workers into collective control of the machine- n-y of production and of distribution. Let the workers have the disposal of lthe full value of what their hands and lbrains have produced.” When this Fhappens, the workers will get all they gproduce. There will be none left over for the idlers. So if the idlers want Ithe necessaries of life, they can get '.them by doing their share of the social ilabor.â€"â€"-Cotton’s Weekly. 0-. The Wheel of Change. 'Once upon a time a celebrated igno- Traznus said that “Things have always been as they are and always will be.” And hundreds of millions of other ig- lramuses'have repeated the phrase ever :since. But the intelligent reader well knows there is nothing old under the :sun. To-day'is not the-same as yester- day. To-morrow will not be the same as today. The earth, and everything on it, is constantly undergoing change. ()nce amass of fiery vapor, it is now a garden teemir g with life. Plants and animals and human societies have passed through transformation after trant'ormation. The languages spoken, the houses we live in, the machinery we use, the laws we obey, the religion we cherish, the clothing we wear, the Weapons we fight with, the customs we uphold, are all vastly different to those our naked ancestors knew. Even hu- man nature has modified. It is less cruel, less bellicose, less brutal, less sensual than it was. It will come, then, as no surprise to learn that men have not always work- ed for wages. Among the North Am- erican Indians, the early Britons, the ancient Teutons, in fact, all primitive peoples, wage-labor was unknown. There was no such thing as an em- ployer, a land-owner or a money-lend- er in those days. Private property had not been invented. No one stood between the savage and his means of existence. The land, the forests, the streams and the dwellings belonged to the whole tribe, and our simple foreâ€" fathers won their livelihood directly, without having to hand over a share of the >poils of the chase to some kind- l.cariel capitalist. In the- civilization of antiquity it was the eXception rather than the rule for people to hire out their services .to another. The empires of Rome, Greece, Baybylon, Assyria and Egypt rested «on slave labor, not only in agriculture, but mining, lumbering, building, even navigation, Was carried on principally by slaves. True, there was a large body of freemen, but these were self- employed in farming, fishing, trading, manufacture and piracy : that is, when in the art of wholesale murder. Likewise in the middle ages. Under the feudal barons must of the labor was performed by Serfs. Indeed, it is not until the fifteenth century that we find the wage system taking a spurt forward, and not until the nine- teenth century does it become firmly established. Two or three hundred years ago there were very few shops in which more than half a dozen men were employed, and the majority of them were apprentices. But today â€"--well, you certainly don’t need to be told about the age in which you live. â€"â€"W. R. Shier. ;’ "WATTSTTEW HORROR" " The Developmenot of Flying Machines Brings Many New Methods of Destruction Into Consideration Two interesting articles relative to the employment of aeroplanes or diri- glbles in war, recently appeared in an issue of the Journal of Paris. The first ofthese deals with experiments made by some officers of Chalals- Mendon in destroying dirlgibies. These experiments were made at the Eiffel Tower, and the method em- ployed was to, drop arrows, each carrying a small explosive charge, which burst on coming in contact with the envelope of the balloon, setting fire to the gas. A number of small captive balloons were secured round the tower, and the arrows were drop- ped on them by hand from the first stage, In every case the arrows exr ploded, igniting the gas and destroy- ing the balloons. Further experiments will be made at varying altitudes. The idea is that an aeroplane or a dirigible with superior speed shall get above the enemy's dirigible and drop the arrows upon it in passing. The other article, which deals with the employment of aeroplanes as fighting machines, and not mere in- struments of reconnaissance involves a. good deal of somewhat dry mathe- mathical calculations; but the object of the writer is to show that it is feasible for an aviator to fly over how tile camps discharging bullets broad- cast from his machine, and thereby lnflicting considerable losses. He be gan by pointing out that aeroplanes have made flights of sixty miles carry. lug two passengers. If it is possible to do this, it would, according to the writer in Le Journal, be equally pos sible for the aviator to carry a quan- tity of bullets equal to the weight of two passengers. These need not be fired from a gun, because, according to the Well-known law which governs the speed of falling bodies, the bullets only require to be released at a suffiâ€" cient height to acquire sufficient velo- city on' reaching the ground to kill both men and horses. According to this law a bullet dropped from a height of 3,200 feet would have a. velo- city of about 460 feet per second on striking the ground. This altitude is easily within the range of aeroplanes. and bullets falling from tl-at height would certainly kill any man or horse if struck in a vital spot. '- The projec- tile of the French rifle _ weighs 25' grammes, and 100 kilogrammes, or about 225 pounds’ weight, would con- tain some 4,000 bullets. One hundred kilogrammes would not, of course, weigh so much as two passengers, and, therefore, could easily be carried by a sufficiently powerful aeroplane. The aviator flying above massed troops could release this cloud of missiles, and probably cause a great number of casualties. He could fly a. long way inside the enemy’s position of attack, not among the scattered firing lines, but the reserves collected in thick masses of troop on the march, or eVen soldiers at rest in their tents in camp. in favorable circumstances an aero- plane could make four or five journeys of this kind daily, and fire the equiva- lent of 20,000 rounds of ammunition. The work could be repeated every day, in this way- each aeroplane would be equivalent to four regiments of in- fantry. on the march or in reserve, at least one bullet in a hundred should be effective, so that each flight of the aeroplane would mean one hundred men killed or wounded. France now possesses at least fifty aeroplanes, which, as the writer estimates each is equivalent to an army of 150,000 effect, the hail of bullets from aeroplane might have very far-reach- ing effects in cases where it was, able to be launched, for instance, against a. group of general officers or the headquarters staff. It is also pointed out that if the aeroplane is fired at by the soldiers while overhead all the bullets dischargrd will fall back again on earth with destructive effect upon themselves, added to the effect of those dropped, by the aviator. Final- ly the writer sets out the proposition that aeroplanes used in this way would be vastly superior to artillery as a death-dealing instrument. He urges that experiments should be begun im- mediately to ascertain the best meth- ' 0d of employing them, and to learn the shape of bullet which will give the best penetration when dropped from I 'helfim- .. . . -.â€"a_,.. ant“. -...._. .. a they were not fighting or being drilled and the French writer estimates that i The writer also calculates that in, attacking troops in masses, such as: to be equal to three thousand infantry, - men.

The coming session of the British Parliament will in many respects be one of the most interesting England has ever witnessed, so many are the vital question to be taken up. But of all these probably none is of more practical importance than the pay‘ ment of the members of the House of commons. a question that has been shed into the front rank by the now amous Osborne judgment, which re- fused the labor unions the right to use their money for political campaign or pauses and to pay the labor member. in the House for their work. The judgment of the court has caused vio~ lent excitement in labor circles and the demand was made that the gov- ernment, whose political existence to a certain extent depends on labor eup- port. must bring forward a bill grant,- ing the labor unions the right to use their money for political purposes. A bill of this kind will hardly be able to pass through the House of Com- mons, as it is constituted now, and if it does, it will surely be killed in the House of Lords. A solution has to be found however. Bentatlves of labor out of the House i To drive the repre- of Commons because they cannot af- ford to sit there is, of course, out of the question, and both great parties are, therefore, advocating, with more or lose sincerity, the payment of the chosen representatives of the people. The government will hardly oppose this solution which was already sug- gested by Gladstone in‘a conversation with John Morley in 1891, but what in more remarkable is that eVen the ultra conservative press, like the “Morning Post," is in favor of it. Mr. Balfour has not said anything yet, but it is more than likely that Austen Chamber- lain. who tries to imitate his father in everything, even in appearance, may champion the cause Joseph Chamber- lain fought for twenty-five years ago. At any rate, the question will surely come up for discussion in the House of Commons, and the demand made by the Chartists in 1873, and which was then considered revolutionary, may be carried through in 1910. PALACE ON WHEELS 'FOR HIS MAJESTY Most Beautiful Railway Carriago'ln the World in Which King Take: His Journey. To embellish and beautify a railway carriage so that it combines the per- fect taste, the elegance, and comfort of a famous apartment in a Royal pal. ace, would seem almost an impossi- bility to those who know by experi- 'ence how uncomfartable a long rail“ way journey can be. The impossible, however, is achieved in the magnifi- cent Royal railway carriage made for the King and Queen of England. There is nothing in the world that furnishes such a. striking contrast with the ordi- nary railway coacb. It is really a drawing-roomâ€"in fact, a Royal palace on wheels, This unique train is composed of six carriages, and the decorations and fittings of the interior are said to be unequalled in any rolling-stock in the world.‘ There are two saloons, one for the King and one for the Queen, and every conceivable contrivance for their Mao jestles’ comfort has been installed. King George’s saloon is decorated in white enamel and light green the fur- niture being of satin-wood inlaid with ivory. The saloon occupied by Queen Mary is also white enamel, relieved lby touches of blue, and soft shades of i pink. The smo’king-robm is a cosy lapartment in mahogany, with fine in- l lays of rosewood and satinwood, while ,the dining-car is a sumptuous coach, the kitchen a model. There are bal- conies to each saloon, which are fitted with windows, so that they can be used as observation cars. But even before their Majesties’ comfort comes the consideration of l their safety, and the precautioutaken by a. railway company to ensure against accidents during the Royal progress are of the most elaborate character. Fifteen minutes ahead of ievery Royal train goes a pilot engine, .to see that the line, which has been 'cleared a quarter of an hour earlier, is in perfect order. Every quarter of a mile on both sides of the line a platelayer is stationed with hand sig- nals and detonators in case of emer- gency. Each keeps in sight of his fellow, both on the right hand and the left, and no matter if the journey is from London to Scotland, the line is ; guarded in the same way throughout. lWhen elther‘the King or Queen trap vels to Balmoral, for instance, several hundred workmen are so engaged. By the side of the driver on the engine is a special look-out man, and on the train itself are all the principal offi‘ cers of the company, a full complement of artificers in case of a breakdown, and two guards in electrical communi- cation with the driver. it also means that all ordinary traf- fic on the route isvparalyzed for an hour, but thus their Majesties' safety is secured. . . p.-...'._\~.w A large portion of Gownnda was dos- troyod by fire on Tuesday. .1033 $100.00“, insurance 1312.000.

Are Now Undo:- Treatmentâ€"Husband, Too, Had Been. a Patientâ€"A Trao gedy in Real Lifeâ€"Heavy Debt on Institution. A story from the Maskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives tells of a mother who, with her two children, is now under treat. mentin thatinstitution. The husband had been a patient, but the case wasun ad~ vanced one when the patient entered, and he has since passed away. There is little doubt but that the wife was infected as a. result of caring for her husband, and now she is in the hluskoka Hospital. Her little girl, about five years of ago, and a boy of ten are with her, both being afflicted with this dread disease. The words of the mother are pathetic. She writes: “I went to a doctor and got him to examine my lungs to see whether there was anything Wrong with them, and he said that. the right lung was affected. A little rest, he hoped, would build me up. I have n. little girl, about five years old, and t the doctor says that if I could take her up with me it would do her over so much good, as she is not very strong. I lune three more children, and one of those, a boy often, seems also to he afflicted, and it is advisable that he should outer the hos- pital.” _ These three are 0' the 3M {mt-rents who are residents in this deservmg institution and being cared‘ for without money and without price. The sorry part of it is that the trustees are carrying a (la-Lt of some. thing like ES ll},O()0, incurred largely through the ddditions that. have been made within the past your, and that have more lllull doubled the acconunodation of the institu- tion, together with the heavy cost of main- tuiningr so large a number of free Initients.
