MESERVE TO THE EESCUE.
Because the prcHH of the statu, with
the exception of u few nerveleHt news
papers, haa Keen fit to criticise the prou
eeutiou in the Putnam libel ca.se as an
'attack upon the liberty of tho prens,
harlefl Meuerve of Grants I'hhh has
ru filled to the rexcue in a communication
over a column of aolid agate In length
in the Portland Oregonian of January
li7, in which the court, the grand jury
and the ditttnct attorney ur defended
and Mr. I'utnaiii defamed.
Throughout the woof and the warp of
this belabored epirUle run the black
thread of falsehood. Tgnorant of the
facts in the case, ignorant of the eventH
leading up to the trial and ignorant of
the trial tlaelf, Mr. Menerve lias drawn
freely upon gossip, prejudice, Nlander
and malice to mipply the fabrics foi
1 1 1 j h tangled t innue of reiterated fabri
cations.
1 he Oregon tan completely answers
Mr. Meserve' fifteen hundred words in
. fifteen lines. The Tribune could reply
by pointing out fifteen lies in as many
paragraphs, but Mr. Meserve is not
la ken w-riousiy enough, even by the
pe.iple of his own town, to merit the
Mpuce. The supreme court will aoon
pam upon the legal point! at issue and
settle them. The Tribune has printed
lift comment of its own upon the trial.
It has merely reprinted editorials from
the unprejudired press of the state. Mr.
I'litnam is nut the Oregonian corn-spun
'lent, at Medt'urd and he sent Dial paper
no report of the trial, The other lies
ln not merit reply.
Who is Charles Meservef He edits
u country weekly in the city of
!rauts Pass. Judged by his own work,
lie is a noWMpuprr anaemic one of
those for whom Turn Lnwsou coined the
phrase, "gelatine spinod shrimps.' Mis
tdieet is so colorless and has so little
standing, even in its own community,
that Mr. Mciervc, in order to get any
thing In-fore tj public, has o write it
In the form of letters to other papers.
.So. by acting as lick spittle to offieials,

Kditor Tribune: I have just read
another article on Socialism, purporting
to be an answer to my article of re
cent date. F, A. S. savs the statement
was made that Socialism represents the
interest of the working class us a whole.
Ho says if this is true, why is it that
the labor unions have turned the cold
shoulder to its insidious advances. If
F. A. S. knows anything about the labor
movement he will have to admit that
the labor unions have been the very
generators of the Socialist doctrine.
AH the labor unions, with few ex
ception!, up till tho time of the or
ganization of the A. F. of L., were
avowedly Socialistic, and the unions
of the Kuropenn countries are very near!
all directly affiliated with the Social )
mass of the people is concerned; anil
it is oulv bv the introduction of So
cialism that the masses can ever hopf
to own any private property. He aays
that it is impossible for a christian to
be n Socialist, and that the christians
uphold the ownership of property.
It is no doubt true that the church
upholds the present system of private
ownership of the means of life; but
the early christian movement taught
and practiced the ownership of all
things in common for 500 years, up till
the time of the Roman hmperor, (,'on
stantin, who adopted the christian relig
ion in order to control it.
About Woman's Estate.
In regard to the christians protect
ing woman's estate, I am glad to hear
that they do; but I am afraid they
have a big job on their hands as long
as the present system remains, with
500,000 public prostitutes, not to apeak
of those who are not known. Social
ists. In hngland the unions and Social
ists have organized a labor represents-1 fern would abolish this state of affairs

members of the house of parliament,
Men the conservative A. F. of L. is
honeycombed with Socialism here in
the I'nited States. I could name (loa
ns of trade unions which have indorsed
Socialism, especially among the more
skilled mechanics, lint enough of this.
What Socialism Represents.
The Socialist movement does not aim
steal the glory away from the trade
unions, of represent ing the working
lass. The unions represent the workers
on the economic field and the Socialist
I
a living at honorable employment. It
is a known fact that crime and prosti
tution increases with the uncertainty
of mnkiug a living.
In regard to the mutual consent plan
of marriage, 1 defy F. A. S. to produce
any evidence of any sort that will go
to show that Socialism advocates any
such proposition. We have nothing to
do with the marriage relations; that
is a private matter and does not come
under the domain of political science.

suffrage has twice been restricted in
order to prevent the working class from
