Rovnost Ludu -- October 29, 1906Why We should Organize
In the year of 1897 when the capitalist operators opposed organized labor, twenty one Slovic persons were executed under orders of Sheriff Martin.
The Slovaks, in our own country had inferiority complexes and were treated rudely by the Magyars, and Austrians, but even here in America where freedom reigns, we are not given our share.
Thirty years ago when our Slovaks came to America the English papers scorned our presence and the people in fear, would not admit their own nationality but said they were Hungarians.
With the aid of the National Slovak Society, which was organized sixteen years before this paper originated, the Slovaks, joining this freternity slowly began to pull together.

Rovnost Ludu -- July 15, 1907"Slovak Freedom" Has Outing
Sunday, June 30th, at Atlas Park, the Slovak had the biggest attendance at a picnic in Chicago's history. The affair was sponsored by U. S. S. number 531. Being the first affair ever given by this organization, is all the more reason why it was such a huge success. Although not numbering over two hundred and fifty members at present, this society is rapidly gaining in numbers.

Rovnost Ludu -- August 15, 1907What Is a School and its Teachings?
A school is the most important factor in bringing up children and showing them how to do justice to themselves and their fellow people.
Schools should be erected where the teachings are not partial to any political parties, also free from any religious studies. Teaching should be such that, the children are taught to use their own knowledge pertaining to matters such as religion and politics.

Rovnost Ludu -- September 01, 1907The Upkeep of the National Slovak Schools in Chicago
In 1904 the National Slovak School in Chicago was organized. The teachings in this school are to help young Slovak children in their native tongue and give them the knowledge to go out into the world "on their own". Supporting this school was the Jednota Sokol "Slavia", a Slovak Society.
About this time the funds and donations were diminishing and the papers made a plea for help, but there was little response. One reason was that one of the papers making the request was Socialist and believed that the school taught Socialism. Another reason was that the school did not have any religious teachings, which caused so much strife between the schools.
A plea was made to the National Slovaks Society, which had a membership of twenty-seven thousand to lend a helping hand, saying that in their by-laws it said to help Slovak expansion. Mr. F. Lamos, in closing his plea said: "We do not want our children to be lost to us, we don't want them to say we did not think about them. We want them to know our ways and it is our duty to preserve the schools we have and build others".

Rovnost Ludu -- March 04, 1908(Capitalism Means Starvation] Editorial
America's uncrowned king, J. P. Morgan, stated he will help the capitalists to crush the unions and he is right. A worker, who has a family and is unemployed for sometime, watching his starving family every day makes him desperate and he takes a scab job, thereby helping to break the unions.
The capitalistic system is alright for the capitalist themselves, but for us workers it is endless starvation.

Rovnost Ludu -- September 02, 1908[Unemployment] Editorial
A man drowned himself after being unemployed for more than six months. A men shot himself after not being able to find lodging. A married couple were desperate because the man could not obtain a job and she was very sick, so in sheer desperation she poisoned the children and shot herself. This news was taken from the "Slovak Progress" newspaper on August 20th, 1908.
We have only the Republican Party to blame for these tragedies. The papers having all these suicides listed on one side have a lot of good things to say about the Republicans on the other side of the paper. Is this not then against the Bible's teachings?
