MORE ABOUT STUBBS.
*■■ ' 'curnrisod when Stubbs’ la
.We were sure £Ui\e s^rpcispu «
lest alleged activity was reported to us.
’ Before Stubbs appeared on the scene there were;
various reports. Some said that he was coming bach to
resign, others, that he was already canned and that he
was coming back in his private capacity and was bring
jmv in horse-flesh that would put envy in the hearts of all
other teamsters. Some wise ones even had a success
cr nr.med already who was so take Stubbs’ place. But
the rumor which we thought most likely to be true,
was that the people back in Washington had merely
warned the little man not to talk so much.; and that
if he heeded the warping his job would continue .to be
his. All hands were satisfied that the little man s job
was safe, it does not b?X so no.v, for fie sure talked too
much if he said he got Judge Bunnell appointed, and
talked some more too much if he told the Judge he did
il0, ,rve the boast. The trouble with Stubbs is tnat he
takes himself too seriously. No one ever believed he
oot Deal his job. No one ever believed that Stubbs or-;
dering the resignations of Fuller and Crossley made it so.
The little man takes himself too seriously.
THE END OF WAR.
It ought to be borne in mind that this war has
not been caused by the bad qualities of the people 01
by international rivalries or jealousies among the masses
of men. It is simply a resort to arms on the part of two
great combinations of private interests each of which,
was seeking for the commercial domination of the world.
No other motive is base enough and no other power on'
rthwas strong enough to bring on this vyur and both
■ties to it are equally guilty.
f
The oniy way oi escape from the recurrence o
. ;-r such conflicts in th: future is to estabtisk a world po
wcr, greater than any other and claiming the allegiance
.f nil the peoples of the earth with authority to directly
m-linistrate all matters of international concern.
It is admitted that the exploiters of Germany were
ambitious to establish for themselves s one such power. It
js louectly well known by all thouhgtful people that the
lundfall of exploiters who have been using the British
Cl -Tornment as a part or their private business equipment
f - many years have had no other purpose in view.
In the struggle for world mastery the exploiters
are everywhepe organized under industrial and com
mercial despotisms. Any world power established
under capitalism, can be nothing else than a world
despotism. Liberty Bell, Oakland, Cal.

' NO ONE KNOWS
Btf Margmute He^P,
--000-r
Jialf the world, has gone to war,
But the thing they’re fighting fQj
1 No ope knows.
Just how long we‘ll dine or sup
With the prices going up,
No one knows.
But the Steel-trust waxes fat—
(Though exactly what its at,
No one knows.)
And the Powder-trust’s elated,
But. the reason isn’t stated —
No one knows. ^
When the cargo sails away
it is not polite to say
Where it goes.
We can only grin and guess
•‘‘Destination” states the press,
‘‘Nc one knows.”
If they send our stuff to war
And it doesn’t suit the law,
No one knows.
What we’re going to have .to eat. |
When .they’ve sent away our meat.
No one knows
But ’twijt keep the soldiers strong,
And quite graciously prolong
AM their woes.
So we must’nt say a vyorq,
((I,f we did we’d notice heard •
“No one knows.”)
