TRAITORS IN THE CAMP.

(•fir,—.lVrmit mc space enough to express my sympathy with "The Yag." ol I'liristciiurch. in his remarks in your last issue. He and his colleague in the election light had indeed a "hard row to hoc," and 1 for one have unlimited contempt tor that section of Socialists (whom he appropriately twins

"cuckoos") who say that political action is premature and that the work of the party should be more on the industrial field. Politics. I assert, should be our one aim all the time, and leave industry severely alone. I/et us agitate for laws and yet more laws, in statesmanlike ways in order to combat the ever-growing powers of the monopolist. Lot us contend by sound ami convincing arguments on the floor ol the House (tlie pro]>er place to meet tlic capitalist,) that the present system of society is wrong. All those who would interfere with the industrial situation by any other method than this projier legal way are guilty of traitorous conduct, and are a dauber and menace io the State. All l-be laws on our Statute Hook ought in be rigidly observed until each one not needed has been legally repealed by a referendum of the people. Ido not know if it is true that there are some half-million such formulated for the good government of our people, but ii we only gel one useless and out-of-dalo law dispensed with every year <utter a Socialist government gets into power) society will have accomplished somel'hing to be proud of. Meantime let us take maxim guns and shoot down ever\ "ciickim" of the Soniple, Hloodworth and "■Deucalion" type about, for 1 reckon that is the only way to rid ourselves ami respectable' society of these birds tli;tl foul our nest.
