United States -- Politics and government -- Periodicals
I have always been an admirer of Tom Watson and am yet, as I am of W. J.
Bryan. But while I am an admirer of these men I have no faith in their
proposed remedies for the ills, both political and social, from which the
proletariat of this great nation are suffering.
They both lean, and in a certain sense lead, in the right direction, as I
think, but, alas, stop short of any effective measures for the permanent
and general well being of the great mass of wealth creators in this great
big trust-governed nation.
The leaning and leading of these men that I admire is in the primer of
Socialism. But there it stops, and as long as it stops there it will,
in my humble judgment, eventuate in no permanent good to the great body
of our citizenship today so sorely in need of deliverance from the
wealth-absorbing institutions and processes of these U. S. of Trustdom.
Equality of opportunity to grow and develop the very best there is in
each child born into this world ought to be the certain inheritance of
every American born child, and that you can never have with our present
system of inheritance. Every worker ought to have free access to nature’s
store house of wealth and then be guaranteed in the certain possession
of what he brings therefrom and this can never be had with individual
ownership of land.
Yours for Truth and Justice.

I have been reading your Magazine since your first issue and I can assure
you it is like good wine—it improves with age. You have got the right
spirit of independence and you are putting practical issues before the
public in a manner never before attempted. Keep up the good work and your
efforts will soon be appreciated by the toilers who have been blind to
their interests in the past, and kindly devote as much of your valuable
time and space to organized labor and their interests as possible, and I
can assure you it will be highly appreciated by a large number of your
admirers, “union men.”
Yours for Right and Truth.

I have been reading your Magazine for three months and I find it is the
best one that I have ever read and I will continue reading them. Of all
the magazines that sell for ten cents, give me TOM WATSON’S.

I have just finished reading in your valuable Magazine, “Is Money to Rule
Us?” a subject that greatly interests me. What is money? It is nothing
more than a little glittering dirt, taken from the bowels of the earth
by man, rolled in little flat round pieces, and given the name of money.
And we, who consider ourselves civilized, allow that glittering dirt to
influence us far more than principle.
