A HR A II AM LINCOLN red farmers, broken and beaten to desperation by depression, drouth, dust, taxes and debts, storming the Wisconsin legislature as other farmers have stormed many other state bodies, to ask for a moratorium on home and farm mortgages in order that they might at least eke out a bare existence and live a little longer 14 the midst of the struggle that Is crushg ing them. They are honest, Industrious, patriotic, men, very much like the stock that came from Mayflower ancestry and from the forbears who suffered on the battlefields of the first Revolution. They came dressed In overalls and mackinaws and were so reduced that each room they could pay for had to house four or five of the group. Their farms were practically gone, their crops almost destroyed. Many of them had, by great sacrifices, paid nearly all they owed but the little debt that was left was enough to keep the mortgage alive in the hands of corporation Shylocks. LEGISLATURE REACTIONARY These peaceiul, earnest American farmers were about to be dispossessed and they were asking less than did the embattled and Immortal farmers who stood their 'ground at Lexington and Bunker Hill, but they had a hundred fold more grievances. Their farms, representing a lifetime of labor and all the hallowed Influences and associations of home, were being sold over their heads tn spite of their promises that if given time they would pay to the last farthing. Their stock were being sold at auction and good cows sold for as little as 50 cents to satisfy absentee mortgage holders who already had billions of money. After hearing their d story the reactionary, legislature turned a deaf ear to their pleadings and sen them adrift hopeless and dejected.

For the men, not needing the money, who foreclose on the farms under present conditions, and in face of the fact that in many an instance or of the amount of the mortgage has been paid back in principal and interest, I have not one good thought or kind word.

They are true Americana of the type who cleared the forests and plowed the plains of the finest lands in the world. They simply are driven to the wall and held there by the clutching hand of greed. They are Americans of the sort that made this country by redeeming It from barrenness and savagery. They are home builders and home lovers and patriotic citizens who have turned desparate because of the injustices and infamies heaped upon them. They are fighting in their Impoverished trench for their very existence and for the very lives of their impoverished and suffering wives and children. They are loyal Americans who have been despoiled and robbed and beaten and wbo, after having given the best of their blood and brawn and brain, are about to be nailed to the upraised yellow cross of gold which stands on a new Golgatha against the dark skies of Mammon. The Shylocks. under the law, may take their pound of flesh and get by with their work of dispossession in this life, but at the last great day when we all shall stand before the bar of the supreme Judge of the world, they will be asked the question, What have you done unto these, your, and my brethren ? And before they can make answer they will be set aside aa whited sepulchres full of dead mens bones and all uncleanliness. CANNOT HEAD OFF REVOLITION Is anyone ao dumb as to believe that this unholy w'ork of oppressing and dispossessing the fanners and crucifying the laborers will not bring revolution? Let them beware! Let it continue just a little longer and you couldn't keep revolution away with all the armies In the world. Let me shout from the housetops and the hilltops that it is not Americanism that la doing this wicked thing to the farmers and laborers. It is the hand of Mammon dragging itself across our fair land to wreck and ruin for profit. A system that thus treats its stable and supporting citizens cannot possibly survive in the light of the awakened economic intelligence of today. It is sure, if it persists, to be overtaken and covered by an avalanche of woe similar to that prophesied by the Christ over the inhabitants of Jerusalem and visited upon the peoples by the Roman legions. The institutions and men who aid and abet this nefarious work will be left desolate. Their work will perish with them and all their wealth and glory will pass Into voiceless dust and profound oblivion. It is a law of nature and a law of God that the sowers of such seed can only reap the whirlwinds of disaster. Who shall save real Americanism from such a fate? If I am in error may I be forgiven, and may my America be saved to ride the tide of the world's life for a thousand years! soul-searchi- ng ed TEMPLES OF WORSHIP By N. N.

Look no more toward glittering steeples and cathedral domes where art and architecture have wedded to produce strenght, beauty, and splendor, but look toward the half fed, ragged, homeless children of the streets; the sick, abused, n wives and mothers of the slums; the neglected, sons and daughters of vice and intemperance; the underpaid, millions of toilers; the children of men in whom heredity and environment, ignorance and poverty have combined to produce misery, want, and crime.

It is hoped that this brief explanation by a member whom they have helped to See the Light, will make clear to all just what the Utopian Society really is, and intended to accomplish. Utopian Society of America, Inc., nonwas organized as a educational religious, movement in short, A SCHOOL. Its purpose is to educate as many people as possible in the various phases of the fundamental TRUTH that the happiness and security of each person arc becoming every day more closely bound to and determined by the economic condition of the entire population of the country, and vice versa; and to make them realize why, from now on, this is inevitably so. "I am my brother 'r keeper' is no longer just a fine phrase. Further, we must use every means and opportunity possible to impress upon people that, for the first time in human history, the teachings of the Nazarene are physically possible on a large scale, and must be practiced if our civilization is to endure. Further, we must teach the mass of citizens to really believe that the present mercantile, or competitive, or it system of economics cannot by its very nature function to produce or distribute the plenty for everybody which is now here and available just as soon as people realize what they have, so we must develop an entirely new (to most people) conception of economics if mst of us are to enjoy our rightful share In the country that the Creator has placed here for all. We must raise the human conception of economic justice to at least the level of that of the lower animals."
