Socialism Not Anarchism.
! When persons approve of Individual-
Inn ami denounco Socialism, saying It
is akin to anarchy, they show their lg.
norance. Individualism Is near to an-
archy, but far from Socialism, Social-
ism and anarchy are extremes, tho for-
; mer wanting government supreme, the
| latter wanting to destroy It. Many
■ persons favor Individualism and de-
! nouuee Socialism as being nkiu to an-
archy, thereby showing their gross Ig-
norance, for their own hobby, Individ-
J uiillsiu, Is next door to anarchy.—Fro-
fessor J. Allen Smith.

■ Said iJr. Karl Mars: "In proportion
| as the exploitation of one Individual
j by another is put an end to the ex-
ploitation of one nation by another will
| also be put an end to. In proportion
•s the antagonism between classes
j within the nation vanishes the hostility
.if one nation to another will come to
in end."

A Klimsy Objection.
They loll you that Socialism Is q
weed of foreign birth and therefore
cannot lake root In American sol}
Thai may be partly true, but bow nbouj

foreign birth? How about tho sci.
eneos? Hid not astronomy, matlib.
uiatlcs, biology and even tho alphabok
wo use Immigrate to America fron^
foreign lands? Hut why worry uhouj
Socialism If it Is unfitted to this solj
and climate and people? If the slate,
niant Is true, it can never flourish here
ond there is no occasion for all thl^
anll-Sociallst rag chewing. The pcQ.
pie wlii offer these flimsy objection^
lo Socialism are tho people who wan{

Apopal to Ilcason.
An International Movement.
The Socialist party Is International,
taking in the workers of the wholfl
world, regardless of race, color, creeq
or sex. Willie Its tuctlpd differ 1;|
different nations, its funda'nieutal prli)
clples are the same the world over.**

Thinking and Obeying.
"Captain, what do you think," I asked,
"Of llio part your noldlors play?"
Thn captain answered, "I do not thinks.
I do not think—I oboy."
"Do you think you ahould shoot a patrlol
down
And help a tyrant slay ."
Tho captain answered, "I do not think™
I do not thlnk -I obey."
"Do you think that your conscience was
meant to dl<s
And your brains to rot away?"
The captain answered. "I do r.ot think—
I do not think—I obey."
"Then if this la your soldier's code," I
cried,
"You'ro a mean, unmanly crew.
Anil with all your feathers and gilt and
braid
I am moro of a man than you,
"For whatever my lot on earth may be,
And whether I swim or sink,
I can say with pride. I do not obey—
1 not obey—I think!"
