In his recent investigation of the prison at Lincoln, Neb., where the in- mates mutinied with such fatal results to the prison officials, a representative of the Appeal found that out of a to. tal of 430 persons sent to that prison during the years 1909 and 1910, 357, or 83 per cent, had been convicted of crimes against property. ' Theft in some form is the prevailâ€" ing crime, and private propertst at the bottom of it. , The prison is essentially a class in- stitution. It is the antithesiso fthe millionaires’ club. Both are recruited from the idle class; one from the idle poor and the other from the idle rich. The prison is as indispensable to the capitalist system as the workshop is. Private property enforces poverty, paverty enforces theft, and theft en- forces imprisonment. Once in a while a bankrupt capital- ist goes to prison, but as a rule the inmates are of the working class. Under the rule of private property theft is a crime of the gravest conse- quence; it attacks the very foundation of society, which is private property. Stealing is second, only to murder, provided, of course, the thief is not a captain of industry, a wizard of finance or a. merchantprince. Ruling class robbery, scientific steal- ing on a large and legalized scale-e, which lies at the foundatiOn of private property, and. without which that in- stitution could not exist an hourLâ€"is ‘ of course not in theeriminal category prisonment as an attack upon proper-_ ty and an ofience against the state. Property and state are in this con- nection interchangeable terms, the pri- -.vate owner of the property being of necessity the ruler of the state. The 83 per cent. of prison inmates are not in the class of scientific thieves." They have stolen in a small, crude and criminal fashion such as purse- snatching, foot-pudding or burglary, and it is right that they should be in prison for not knowing better. ' The Chicago beef packers have sto- len millions in violation of the anti- trust law, through secret rebates and falsified book-keeping; but they stole «in a dignified, scientific manner, com- pared to- which petty thievery is crim- inal, shameful and contemptible. Rockefeller, Morgan and Carnegie have gotten away with hundreds of millions ; but they are all well-approv- ed and eminently respectable robbers, and patron saints of private property. Marshall Field robbed the city of Chicago, the county of Cook and the state of Illinois of millions by making perjured returns of his taxable prop- erty; but here again the scientific method sanctifies the robbery, and we BANK 0F MGNT-ll EA l, Paid up Capital $6,000,000.00. - .ASSETS OVER $240,000,000.

Fenelon Falls Branch erty as a shining example to the rising generation. The few robbing the masses whole- saleâ€"that is private property, the ho- liest institution among men. But for the exploited, impoverished victims to~ take back at retail that of which they have been robbed wholesaelâ€"that is an attack upon property which must be swiftly and sternly punished. _ Whether you are in the plutocrucy or in the penitentiary depends altow gether upon whether your stealing is"- scientific or otherwise. .. In the capitalist system the great thieves are aureoled saints and occupy the‘highest seats in the synagogueâ€"â€" the petty pilferers, despised criminals= buried alive to rot away in prison holes.â€"Eugene V. Debs. Public Pa .1 Shops. ‘ Having come to the conclusion that ' laws will not prevent the loan shark: from skinning his needy victims, some-~ prominent men of Kansas City have organized a “public” pawnshop that- will loan money on any kind of securi- ty at a very low rate of interest, as the r only way to protect the victims fronts usury. Paris, France, has a real public pawn shop, that has been operating for ‘ years, for which the city furnishes the capital, and it has never lost a cent,- though it loans immense sums inthn aggregate. The principle involved in this action of the Kansas City men is one that they deny exists. \Vhen we Socialists insist that the elimination of ‘ profits is the only cure for the graft and crime and boodling, they deny the static. But they admit it when they ‘ desire to eliminate the graft ofothe loan. shark. Suppose that the nation should embark in the coal business, and pror dues and sell coal at its costâ€"how could the private coal dealers raise the price in cold or any other kind of weatheri If the public sold coal or oil or sugar at cost, how could the corpo- rations sell their products for more? Would the people pay them big profits if they could avoid doing so? But while the people can buy. these things nowhere but from the trusts, what good will laws do? They nus'r buy from the sharks of trade, just as the needy MUST borrow money from the loan sharks if there is no other place to get it. Collective or common own- ership of the industries would protect the people from ext;ort'.ionâ€"nothin.4,r else will. \Vill the people always re- main blind to their own interests? So- cialism will make the need of any kind of pawn shops unnecessary. People can then have employment that. will bring them an income so large thht they will need borrow no money in chattels or any other property. Tth the loan sharks and other sharks w.ll have to go to honest, productive \\ 01k. or starve.
