• £ND OF MILK CASE IN SIGHT
Dr. Bradley carries ths fisht that was forced on her to a successful
finish. Her opponents back down Willingly.
The end of the milk rum
pus will probably be arrived
at when the Council meets on
Monday evening next. It is
very generally believed that
ever sinee the City Physician
made her report to the Coun
cil on the condition of the
cows’ milk sold in town and
also the conditions prevailing
in the dairies which supply
the said milk, that a strenu
ous and concerted attempt
was being made to get Dr.
Bradley removed from the
} position of City Physician.
If there is any truth in the
above rumor, those who
were ill-advised enough to
make the attempt met with
deserved and signal failure.
It must be remembered
that Dr. Bradley was ordered
by the health board to make
the investigation in an unob
trusive manner, and given to
understand that it was not
the intention to cause any un
pleasant publicity, but that
it was merely to get an or
dinance co cover the matter.
It has been seen that the
Doctor carried out her orders
both to the letter and spirit.
To Dr. Bradley the blame
cannot be ascribed for the
publicity which ensued. She
gave her report of the inves
tigation she had made in the
manner she had been given
to understand to be required
of her, when she was loudly
assailed for details, and told
that the city must prosecute,
and she must furnish the
proof of her assertions, she
had irrepairably injured the
milk dealers’ business, etc.,
Who made this very ordinary
milk inspection into a very
unpleasant scandal, Dr. Brad
ley or the people who gave
her orders to make the ins?
pection and impressed on her,
the necessity of no undue fuss
being made over the affair, j

Very keenly thought out, isn’t it?
Very nicely planned to appeal to all boy instincts and at the
same time fit him for “moi*e serious business” later on. How cun
ningly arranged to instil a love of war and “obedience to employ
ers.” Get your thinking caps on.
BIG BILL HAS OFFER.
According to a grape vine news report, cx-President Taft hss
been offered the editorship of one of America’s leading humorous
publications. His recent remarks on Socialism show that; he is em
inently fitted for the job.
but as soon as they got her
report proceeded to kick up
all kinds of fuss?
“Nigger in the fence some
where.”
It was no wonder that
Councilman Myer s could not
! find a practitioner who was
willing to make an analysis of
the milk! Without a doubt
these medical men knew that
to all intents and purposes,
[ their analysis would corrobo
rate Dr. Bradley, and we im
magine doctors are much
like other people, Even an ex
pert does net like to expert
jdifferently than they are ex
pected to.
Dr, Bradley has come out
of an unpleasant affair better
than any concerned. She
showed where she stood
!
when she asked for Paul

Hopkins, the iormost che
mist at present in Fairbanks,
to make a final examination

Lieutenant Becker of New
York, for the second time,
has been sentenced to the
electric chair.
What crime did Becker
commit? Did he crimson his
hands in human blood?
No.Becker was an officer of
the law, and was paid by the
city of New York to see to it
that the law was revered.
But why has Becker been
sentenced for the second time
to the electric chair? He did
not commit murder himself,
but he hired men who made
a business of killing, and for
this crime the law demands
that Becker shall forfeit his
life as the penalty.
Lieutenant Backer of the
police force of N. Y. hired
professional assassins to kill
Rosenthal, a gambler,because
the material interests of Bee
kermade it necsssary that Ro
senthal should be removed:
John D. Rockefeller and
his saintly son have likewise
hired scores of professional
assassins to murder men, wo
men and children in the state
of Colorado. Rockefeller and
son hired these man-killers to
protect their material inter
ests, just the same as Lieut,
Becker, who felt that he
would be materially injured
should Risenihal be permit
ted to live. Becker had Rosen
thal killed, because his living
would jeoparpize the mater
ial interests of the police lien
tenant.
Rockefeller and his son
hired gunmen to kill striKers
because the strike affected
their material interests, but
Rockefeller and his son have
not been arraigned in court
and sentenced to the electric
chair. Why?
Becker hired gunmen to
murder a gambler, and he is,
sentenced to death. Rockefel
ler hired gunmen to murder
strikers, and the President of
the United States makes a
pathetic plea to the man who
hires murderers, to settle the
strike. Why the difference?,
Becker is not a billionaire.
Becker lacks the economic
power to be a poient factor
in the invisible government
that dominates and controls
the functions of government.
Beoter^s not a magnate iff
finance, industry and com
merce, nor has he behind
him the power of Wall Street.
Rockefeller and Co. cant
commit the same crimes a$
Beoker and escape with im*
! punity, simply because the
power uf Mammon makes
servants of the people forget;
every principle of justice.

Vice-President
Marshal & Socialism.

He Would Be a Socialist 11 Socialism Would lay Down To Capital.

Vice-President Marshall, in a
speech some time ago made the
statement that when the Social
ists quit waving the the red Hag
and cease their opposition to the
church, he would throw in his
lot with them. The Vice-President
probably meant what he said,
bnt he showed himself wofully
ignorant of the Socialist philoso
phy, and at the same time reveal
:xl a lack of sympathy with the
post struggles of the oppressed
classes. It is quite certain that
the Socialist movement yyill not
abandon the use of the red flag,
nor will it lay down to the church
and be swallowed up by capital
ism.
Of coui-se Mr. Marshall is
Strong on patriotism and knows
that adherence to the red flag is
destructive of that much vaunt
ed sentiment, and weakens res»
pect for hi3 beloved stars and
stripes. And it does, but it has
the same effect in the case of
every other flag and nation, The
Vice-President probably does nc'
know the reason why. The Soci
alist movement is a world-wide
working class movement imbued
with a common purpose. It in
veighs against this superstition
called patriotism, for patriotism
is installed into the minds of ris
ing generations for no other pur
pose than to keep peoples and na
lions apart, and at enmity with
eachother, so that ruling classes
may the 1 alter work the game of
grab on the workers of the diffe
rent nations, and as occasion re
quires in 0! dcr that they may fat
ter. all the more, plunge them in
to war. The workers are dispos
sessed everywhere and conse
quently have no country, but be
cause of this patriotic humbug
gory are made to Lel’evc that
they have. The red flag from
from time immemorial lias been
the banner of revolt against econ
omic tyrany, and as such it has
been handed dowr, to the modern
Socialist mavem.mt. Vi<je-Prcsi
dent Marshall and his hind are
aware that the red flag' bodes na
good to their class, and are ac
tively engaged in perpetuating
the predjudice against it, as their
prototypes back through the ages
have done. It is not the color
they object to, but what it repre
ser.ts. If any other colorjhad been
used for the same purpose, it
would meet with the same I ypo
critica1, hysterica’ opposition.
As to the Socialist opposition
to the church, the Vice-President
has got the cart before the horse.i
It is the church that has brought
on and is pressing the fighj,
gainst Socialism. Socialism is on
ly defending itself against the un
fair and lying attacks of the
church. Socia'ism is scientific
and it teaches people to reason.)
It believes in education. Science
and reason and education the
church cannot stand against.1
Hence its opposition. Scientific
investigation and increase^
