Renter's Union will give immediate

you have got yourself into this dilem
na and it is up to you to get yourself
out Of it but get it in your noodle
right now that you can't do it outside
of organization. In union there is
strength, in individual stand ia out of
date. Bo combine yourselves in the
Renter's Union .and stand pat and you
are sure to win Of course you will
meet opposition but anything that
isn't worth opposition wouldn't be
worth while, so get up in the collar
and get it into your head for once
that the land hog is not your superior
and quit being afraid to express your
sentimonts as regards your interest
and well being upon thi* earth.
1 knoW men that are afraid to join
the Union because they might be
rented out next year. My friends,
this Is mere cowardice. This kind of
man is not worth a wife and children.
He is too cowardly to protect them tn
anything; he would betray Christ on
.earth. If I knew that I would never
get <0 ffnt another foot of land as
tong a* T lived, I would not be afraid
to speak the truth.
Words fail to express the contempt
that I have for a man that is too cow-

it would do no good as that 45 is gen-

The renter does not in no wise handle

would be operated by the people when
they find out just how much of their
labor* products is being fleeeed from
them. For instance the Ualumct and

Hallettaville, Texas.
Dear Comrade Ilickey:—
I sincerely hope you will act on
Com J. II. Stranahan V suggestion and
start a column of favorite poems. We
Socialists are *0 deeply interested in
politic* we sometimes forget that there
s anything else in the world, but the
terrible class struggle. We are so
eagerly anticipating the comi
and defenseless striker* are clubbed
down. The said mine companies have
hired modern American savages to do
thi* heart breaking work, why the wild
savage* of Africa would not dare to do
such a thing. Yet they claim to have
a Civilized nationV My view of it is
that the dark ages of ancient times
never was blotted with a poor hungry
and innocent mother's blood N'erer
once was there a woman of eighty or
more years put away and held without
the least charge against her unless she
had broken soma law. In Colorado at
the city of Trinidad there is an old
woman past eighty years old. she is
being held without any charge against
her whatever except she demanded
free speech thi, ehe was denied and
gather our roses while we may. Most
of us have a favorite poem hidden
away among our dearest treasure* and
when our ..earts ache and our erosts
seems heavier than we can bear we
take it out and ijlowly read each well
remembered word:
"And the cares that infest the day,
Fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away."
lieve with the Rible, "he has lost alii Tbo*e I)oems 'omfort and inspire
better day that we often nesfeet' to <eerriWy in* ,t«1 ai.4 pl«««d 00
his witness and is fit for nothing but
the dung h^ill." I can't hardly keep
from giving vent to my feelings, but
maybe some numb skull will see this
and think for once in his life.
Now. Mr. Renter, let's reason to-
gether You say if you join the Rent
cr's Uuion you can't get a place next
year. That may be so but you won't
be any worse off, it is starvation any
way you take it. 80 I had rather
starve, well rested than to be worked
to death for a worthless landlord and
come out in debt to be gouged by the
banker and merchant. To join the
Renter's Uuion is a step iu the right
direction if you never get another
plac/e. The more they talk about rent
ing me out the more rebellious I get.
1 have borne the blunt of Socialism
for ten years and now I have taken up
the Renter's Union and stand ready
to take up anything thnt tends to
give my bonded brothers relief. I am
in the fight to stay. I may be hung,
I may be crucified, head down or
burnt at the stake. If T knew T would
be, that would -^ot keep me from de-
manding justice at the hands of the
oppressors.
Nav,' r. lfenter, did you not know
that your landlord would have more
respect for you if you would go right
into the Renter's Union and go to
work for your own interest than he
would for y6u to stand out and lick
his hand and ask him what you must
do. When he saw you doing something
for yourself he would think that you
had a little sense, otherwise, he would
know vou did not have a hit.
Say, Mr. Renter, this gospel that T
am preaching to you is to keep you
out of a capitalist hell if you will obey
it. I am not ashamed of the gospel
ur, why not share them with others I
Now comrades, what do you think of
the ideaf If you like it tell Comrade
Hlckey so, and his generosity will
prompt him to gve us a column in the
dear old Rebel.
Yours for freedom,

Comrade Hiekey:—
We are trying to get ready for the
coming campaign I'. (!. Zimmerman
organized us a local at Pleasant Hill
the other night with eight members.
We would have had more, but some So
cialists here are afraid of their land-
lords and would not join the local.
We hnvc men still hunting for homes
to rent here yet. Places are a lot
scarcer here this year than they were
last year The loan companies have
their thumb on about all the land here.
There is liuv suit after lnw suit
now in this country, about land.

Now, my friendly renters, this is a
call to arms and a fight to a finish
as the thing stands. We have got It
going our way, if we will just ke^p
pressing the battle. Right here in my
county the landlords talked of raising
the rents on tlft. jtw^e irffet fall, but
they didn't get their scheme through,
they say that their taxes are getting
so high that they will have to put a
bonus rent on us. Do you believe it
right for the rehters to pn.v the land
lords' taxes and then pay him for
right to stay on earth? That is just
what you are doing and then
The mine owner is niy master;

brotherhood let' s have a heart to

to capitalism's intereot to keep us
pulled apart and at variance with
each other and cause a competition be-
tween us for places. It has worked
"nicely for them so far as it has caused
the bonus rent and all other high
rents by us just letting them play
us for suckers and as they have just
about sucked all the vitality out of
our financial makeup, so let us com-
bine ourselves in the Renter's Union
and pot a cold quietus on their suck-
ing proposition. It is the only salva-
luinch of mules you arc. Haven't

you don't, thnt tlfr bars will bV laid

Now is the accepted time, fall into

fche promptly went back and de
inanded once more her constitutional
rights. She was met by another de-
tachment of "Brutes" and she is now
in prison held without any charge and
is not even allowed to speak to any
person. Now 1 want you to give this a
clear thought. A woman eighty years
old, guarded by armed "Brutes" sure
ly she must be a "Monster" that it
takes armed "Brutes" to watch her.
My view of this is that it is the most
daring insult to one of America's true
patriot woman, it is an insult to the
United States.
The question now is how much long
er will organized labor and the true
liberty loving citizens allow such. We
have made a "Muss" of the constitu-
tion and of the nation that our
forefathers trusted us so faithfully
with. Now we must use some means to
regain our liberty
Our fore fathers paid a price for our
liberty and we must regain it regard-
less of the price and we must not per.

just referred you to. It i-> ^ shame for

To yoa, Masters of the bread, I will

ters you have tortured and enslaved
me for a thousand years, you have
driven the love light and laughter
from the innocent eyes of childhood.
You have crushed their tender baby
bodies and warped their souls.
You have planted in the
virgin soil of the mind of

these seeds sown in the midnight hours
of treachery and falsehood have sprung
the harvest of the Devil distilled creeds
of greed and graft and gold The trin-
ity of treachery that has lured the race
nto the pits of mental slavery where
the fields of greed, revel and roll,
hoglike, in wanton waste. Where de-

voice to the sound of a thousand

the slims of the pits of hell that I

your thrice accursed system the awful
story of man's humanity to man. To
write the awful inhuman tale of false
hood, treachery and deceit, of cruel
crosses and bloody swords,the dungeon

that I could dip my pen In vitriol and
write words that would bite and burn

Would that I might weave my words

drive the vulture of gresd screaming

came, into the tombs of bvgone ages
that contain the mumified remains of
the things that, were but now are no*.
Oh. that I mght command the absolute
art of the infinite pninter of pictures.
That I might wield for a brush a
giant pine plucked from the far-off
forest of the Northland. That I
might paint with the blood of earth's
murdered -millions upon the black
canvas of the midnight sky the awful
picture of the past. The picture of
priestly treachery.of ravished woman
hood and murdered innocence, of tears
and toil and torment, of slavery, pris-
ons and persecution, the picture of fity
smoking centuries drenched in the
blood and tears of toil. Lit by the tor-
ture fires, fed by the hands of fiends
whose god was then as it is today,
the glittering gold. IIARKEN YK,

Total new locals for the week .14,

THE REVOLUTION IS ON IN
OKLAHOMA. ~
Basing prediction on the Socialist
par#y organization which is the bar-
ometer in Oklahoma politics we come
to the conclusion that a revolution
is on in Oklahoma.
During the month of January there
were organized Mil new locals with a
membership of 6K0 and so far for the
month of February there have been or-
ganized 90 locals with a membership
of 822 Totnl so far this year 170 new-
locals with a membership Of 1502. The
total number of new locals organized
during the entire year of 1913 were
181 new charters.
Thr average membership for the last
year was 2fi07 and during the first
quarter of last year there were 2777
members in the organization. At the
present rate of dues money which has
been receivd the Socialist party or-
ganization will break all records in
Oklahoma even in the years of no dues
for we are hovering around the 8000
mark at this writing.
Harmony prevails and the theme of
fight the enemy predominates. Once
in a while some individual Socialist
lets his angry passion run off with his
better judgment and give* vent to
his feelings^against another comrade
whose tactics do not meet his approval.
Natural that such should bo the case
but this is no year to stir up trouble
iknd it will become all of us to give and"
take in or,]er to Pontinue the
work now under way
I have gone over the situation in
Oklahoma from several angieg and am
to admit that this i8 the year
that Socialism takes the reigns of gov-
ernment in Oklahoma. The weak or-
ganization in the pakt cast a gloom
the possibilities thai confront us
and 1 uneasy lest It would be
thrust on us and we not t>e in a shape
to handle H but we have passed the
W€ march on to vi<

Selection of Nominees.
My attention has been tailed to
the coming election of the aomineo
on our state ticket and request ni"
to give boosts for certain i\er.un*i'.-.
This I canuot do and be true to all
the comrades in the state, however it
might be well to give location of
certain nominees, a consideration an!
try and scatter them out over tin'
state as much as possible where the
material is equally as efficient.
The comrades in the northwestern
part of the state are very anxion- to
have representation mi t ie state ticlxt
and claim it will materii'llv boh-1
them out in carrying their comity
ticket.
The call for nominations for state
offices closes on Match 1st and Im-
mediately all the names sent me will
be put up to them for their accep-
tane or donation, time for same be-
_ing 15 days. I make a special re
quest for each nominee to send hi-
acceptance or declination back to in1'
promptly as there will be time to
waste in preparing this ticket.
