Mr, Gates llopllus. To tho Kdlter: Ilcplylng to Mr. Drurohill's article coueoraliig my platform, I am pleased to know that so far as It goes, It meets with his approval. Ills article has bo mo ory good suggestions, but there aie others that would admit of considerable argument. Taking his suggestions la tho order named. First salaries. It Is generally con cdeded throughout this great land of ours that over man's tlino should bo worth 8ometh(ug and thero are very few, If any, places In this coun try whore, ho devotes his time to any cauao without some remuneration. 'Nevertheless I huve not outerod Into this raco with any Idea of remuueru Hon and If at tho next diction thu pooplo deem- it proper to vote to abolish all salaries of public officials, It i will be perfectly satisfactory to lue. ' Ilegardlug saloons closing at 6 o'clock, we must ondeavor to be just and equitable to ull. Tho ono clause. In, my platform, equal rights to all, special privileges to none, would rover this.

Tho roal oruno thoso nion arc guilty of is nuuiinjj; a sooialist iiows)ai)ui that eouvageou.sly attacks tho exist ing ordur and tho recipients of special privileuo. There are a good many articles in the Appeal to Reason that seem indefensible appeals to class prejudice but they may bo necessary to awaken the class they arc tUriving to reach. Thero are also nmnv fearless art tries based nnon indisputable truth, such as the record of federal judges that no other paper has dared to print, yot which should be known. On the whole, the influence of tho Appeal to Reason is for good, and it is because it tells the truth, along with its buncoinb, that its editors are persecuted by the federal government, whose qgents it has exposed. This paper does not believe that the communistic state, advocated by socialists, is either practical or a cure-all for social and iiolitieal evils. But this is a problem that the evolution of the race will work out. Many of the socialist ideas have been or will be universally accepted. It has been the function of the federal government, as of all governments of the past, to protect tho classes rather than tho masses, to protect the dollar rather than the man. It is the protest against these conditions that the Appeal voices. The strutrirle is a never endiinr ono. it has existed in all nations, in all times, and huuian'liberty is measured by its success. Perhaps the first "appeal to reason" the Knglish speaking race listened to was in the glorious reign of Kd ward Hi. in the fourteenth eenturv. Edward, drunk from his conquest of the French, was unable to conuticr the misery existing in merry England. .Repressive laws, com peinng iaoor to work for wages insufficient to support life throw the people into outlawry and the 20 year peasants' revolt followed a revolt against the whole system cf social inequality that had passed unquestioned as the divine order of tho world. John Ball, the ".Mad Priest of Kent," mad even as Debs is mad, because he opposed existing inequality made the first appeal to reason, the first declaration of the rights of man, in the following language: "Good people, things will never be well in England, so long as goods be not in common, and so long as there be vil leins and gentlemen. By what right are flier whom we m jurus greater tone tuan wet Un wliat grounds have they deserved itf AVhy do thev hold us in serfage? If we all come of the same father and mother, of Adam and l-ivc, how can they say or prove that thev are bettor than we, if it be not that they make us gain for them bv our toil what they spend in their pride i They are cloaked in vel vet and warm in their furs and their ermines, while we are covered with rags. They havo wine, and spices and fair iread; and we oatcake and straw and water to drink. Thev havo leisure and fine houses; we have pain and labor, the rani and the wind in the fields. And vet it is of us and our toil that these men hold their state.5' The peasants' revolt culminated in Wid Tvler's rebel lion followed by wholesale executions. Seven thousand men were hanged in one summer for uttering the treason able doctrine of equality of mankind. Yet the old condi tions died away in spite of laws and courts and jinnies, and serfdom was abolished. It was the tyranny of property that called forth John iiall s appeal, just as it has called forth the "Appeal to Reason" of the 20th century. As long as the tvrannv ex ists, .iiistso long will similar appeals be made. The remedy is not the punishment and persecution of tho Balls, Debs' and "Warrens, but the remed ving of condi tions that create them remove the cause and not the lesult.
