Considering that the truth alone
can be the basis of true progress and

things that whining, hypocritical puri

In his original home In England he
had not been going many years be
fore he cut off the head of a king,
sent another king packing about bis
business, and In other ways pursued a
policy of “direct action” that should
appeal enormously to W. D. Haywood.
Crossing the Atlantic, he helped to
lay the foundations of an empire. For
a man who hated to call a spade a
spade, It Is remarkable how well he
could use that familiar agricultural
Implement. He used It to dig up the
ungrateful soil of a rock bound,
frost-bitten commonwealth. Later he
shouldered his spade and. still speak
ing through his nos.e, but for the most
part faithful to his conspiracy of si
lence, he dug up the more grateful
soil of the Mississippi valley and the
western prairies and the Pacific river
valleys, with occasional deviations to
the pickax when he struck the ore-
bearing lands of Colorado and the
Sierras. He did not lose the early
habit of carrying his flintlock into
thp field. He us4&> It In Kansas, and
flv# years later he was carrying H
