WHY wait until election time
to join the ranks of Socialism?
Now is the very best time to
take a stand for' the working
class.
When the people are willing
to lay aside prejudice and meet
truth with an open mind. Social-
ism will grow by leaps and
bounds.
Elect whom you may, so long
as they continue to work under
the same old party rules you can
expeet little legislation for the
benefit of the laboring class.
Whatsoever we would that
men should do unto us we should
do to them, is in direct keeping
with the principles of Socialism
and diametrically opposed to the
spirit of greed which dominate0
all other political parties.
While an army of war is col-
lecting down on the Mexico line,
anxious for blood and pillage,
an army of peace is organized in
Missouri and 350,000 worker vol-
unteer to toil for two days in
making good roads, free of
charge. Of the two armies,
which deserves most credit?
Christianity is not a test of
political faith in any party, yet
the main question of Socialism is
to better the economic conditions
of people and is in perfect har-
mony with the bible teaching,
because religious sentiments ol
a people are proportionate to
their economic conditions.
citizen while
the other in society is called A
gentlemen and a very respect-
able citizen. I defy the world
to show the difference in the
moral intent of the two men but
the crime of the latter is the
greatest, for the former only
wronged an individual and socie-
ty only to the extent that crime
morally influences it for the had.
The latter aims his deed at soci-
ety and wrongs it morally and
financially.
A burglar breaks into a rich
mans house and steals his valu-
able jewelry and the rich man
offers a large reward for the ar
rest and conviction of the thief,
and society will say, Ah, man!
The rich man had stolen from
society millions of dollars or he
could not possess valuable jew-
elry. He is not condemned for
his theft: no reward is offered
for his arrest and conviction and
society smiles upon and honors
him.
Men bet upon games of cards
and one usually wins at a game,
while the others lose. These
gamblers if convicted, are pun-
i: h"d by law and are considered
by society common blackguards.
Men in the chamber of commerce
under the guise of law may, by
trickery lower than that to
which the common gambler
would stoop, take from an un-
suspecting mar one who has
been led to thini hat the trans-
actions there are >ply business,
that it is speculati ; guarded by
rules that make i ^ir for all
who take chances. If1 does not
realize that it is a variable thug
game; that the chan • are in
favor of the men who w k the
trick until he has lost I. last
dollar of hard earned \i- -iey.
Then he sees that the gat. mr
Savior drove out of the te; le
were no worse than these men
Yet, society honors them though
the common gambler is a better
man and is not so dangerous to
society. ,

the question of whether or not:
woman had a soul. By vote at
the conclusion of this long debate
it was decided, by a majority of
one, that a woman had a soul.
Wonderful discovery! Yet Arch-
bishop Messmer has lately ruled
that women must not discuss
the suffragette question. Even
if she had a soul, to express an
opinion on political or ecnomic
conditions is high treason to the
pope and his intriguing priest-
hood. We are glad to see the
day come when the women can
no longer be held in !>ondage by
superstitious fc.r, thnt has so
long stood in the way of human
progress.
The chief enemies of Social
ism are the ananchists, capital-
ists and Catholics. At this stage
of the game they are fighting
the Socialist party from a differ-
ent standpoint, but in the honr
of Socialist victory at the ballot
box, Anarchy-Capitalism-Cathol
icism will show a united arm>
in opposition to Socialism
brought together by the cohesive
power of greed. So far these
forces have largely predominat-
ed in our governmental affairs
and will be hard to jar loose.
Believing that such conditions
will have to be met and over
come in the future, we see clear-
ly the need of arousing th
masses to a sense of duty. "Let
the workers of the world unite."
It will take brains, courage and
patience to bring about a peace-
ful aolution in the coming Revo-
The Socialists have smoked
them out!
True, the sly old foxos still
remain under cover, but by lonjj
coaching of the young men, and
by persistenturginp, the kinder-
garten Democracy of the county
have been put to the front.
These lads have determined to
do what the older heads have
feared to undertake—that is to
meet the Socialist speaker in fair
discussion. Under the hu.-h
mouth policy of the cowardly
machine politician, socialist sen-
timent has spread like a prairie
fire. If the young defenders of
the capitalist system can refute
the Socialist arguments and
check the growth of the Socialist
party, well and good, they shall
have the credit. But the Social-
ist School of instruction is reach-
ing the hearts and consciences
of thinking men as never before,
and our forces are daily aug-
mented. And the new recruits
are coming from the Democrat
and Republican ranks.
Young men, you have set for
yourselves a hard task, but we
glory in your nerve.
THE ownward march to Social-
ist victory goes on uninterrupt-
edly. All the abuse and misrep-
resentation that can be heaped
upon the party cannot destroy
the fact that it is the only party
that offers relief to the opposed
masses; that has a safe and sane
program on which the workers
of the world can unite, regard-
less of church creed or past par-
