A CAPITALISTIC CRIME.
IN TUN Chrishuns issue of Collier's, prinlou as a fore
word, is an article oiititlocl "The Message of tho Star,"
with llorhort JKmuiimu ns tho mweuifed author. Tho
Mail 'Prihuno reprinted the article, with proper credit, in
Saturday's issue hut it didn't know any hotter then.
From the "Medford Socialist," a campaign dodder
issued and distributed free Sunday by the socialists' to
slam and slander everyone in general and the Commercial
elub in particular, appears the same article, word for
word, with 13. "V. Ityjan, socialist, candidate for citv re
corder, as accredited author. To ho .sure in Mr. lagan's
article the word "socialism" takes the place of the "star
of Bethlehem," but this is the only alteration and such
a slight one!
It is evident that Collier's and Mr. Kaufman are guilty
of rank plagiarism, even though Collier's appeared a
week before the Socialist. Thev havo stolon Air. login's
literary product, even though Mr. Kaufman wrote it and
Collier's printed it first.
Here wo have another instance of those conspiracies
by which capitalism is robbing and oppressing the work-
ingmau! Here is another instance of rank injustice of the
tainted capitalistic press, snatching the literary laurels of
a great but .unknown author, simply because he is a boot
black! Here is a worse plot to crush the cause of labor
than that against the McNanmras, a striking instance of
the triumph of the parasite over the wage slave!
".He who steals my purse, steals trash," but ho who
steals another's ideas and literaiy product sometimes gets
something far worse than trash. 'Still this does not justify
Collier's for swiping M.r. Egan's article and printing it
before Mr. TCgan wrote it. and we demand that the Mod-
ford local call indignation meetings, and collect the spon
duhix from their down-trodden brothel's to avenge this
capitalistic insult!
1 DICKENS ON CHEISTMAS.
T? ACIT holiday season the
J- with their half-forgotten
cholv
As we grow older, we appreciate more and more the
cheerful optimism of Charles Dickens. Listen to him you
who sigh in vain for days on which the sun has forever set,
and get an over new 'idea of tho Christmas festival, and
dropyour vain regrets: "
v "Therefore, as we grow older, let us be more thankful
that the circle of our Christmas associations and of the
lessons that the.v bring, expands! Let us welcome every
one of them, and summon them to take their places by the
unnstmas hearth.
""Welcome, old aspirations, glittering creatures of an
ardent fancy, to your shelter underneath the holly! Vo
know you, and have not outlived you j'ct. Welcome, old
projects and old loves, however fleeting, to your nooks
among the steadier lights that burn around us. Welcome.
all that was ever real to our
ness that made 3611 rtvil, thanks to Heaven!
"Do Ave build no Christmas castles in the clouds now?
Let oifr thoughts, fluttering like butterflies among these
flowers, of children, bear witness! Before this bov thero
stretches out a Future, brighter than we ever looked on in
our old romantic time, but bright with honor and with
truth. Around this little head on which the sunny curls
lie heaped, the graces sport as prettily, as airily, as when
there was no scythe within the reach or Tunc to shear
away curls of our first-lovo.
"Upon another girl's face near it placider but smiling
bright a quiet and contented little face, we see Ilome
fairly written. Shining from the word, as ray's shino from
a star, wc sec how, when our graves are old, other hopes
than ours are young, other heads than ours arc moved;
how other' wa's arc smoothed; how other happiness
blooms, ripens, and decays no, not decays, for other
homes and other bands of children, not yet in being, nor
for ages yet to be, arise, and bloom and ripen to the end
of all! '
"Welcome, everything! Welcome, alike what has been,
and what never was, and what we hope may be, to your
shelter underneath the holly, to your places around the
Christmas fire, where what is sits open-hearted! In yon
der shadow do wc sec obtruding furtively upon the blaze,
an enemy's face? By Christmas Day Ave do forgive him!
If the injury he has done us may admit of such companion
ship, let him come here and take his place. If othenvise,
unhappily, let him go hence, assured that wc Avill never
injure nor accuse him."
