THE NATIONALISTS.
Address Delivered at Yesterday
Meeting,

Address Delivered at Yesterdays
Meeting.
The Nationalists met Yesterday after.
noon in the W. G. T. U. Temple. Mr..
]. G.. Clark, of national fame, sang the
opening song, and later recited one of his
own choice poems.
President PEBBLES controverted the
somewhat prevalent idea that National
ism would tend to destroy individuslism
He said that Nationalism proposed by
proper industrial organization to give all
fair start, and would therefore increase
emulation. Now the many are con-
demned to bread. and butter servitude,
and have no time to unfold; no time to
emulate for prizes of worth-only time
to compete for tomorrow's bread. Ma
tional life would be something like COL
lege life, where tie physical wants are
adjusted with but little outlay of time,
and there is opportunity for develop
ment and righteous emulation. The
Doctor said that some accused National
lists of holding out white chicken meat TO
everybody. The President replied no,
only to those who deserve white chicken
meat.
Mr.. D. S. Van Slyke read a paper
which elected applause, but was net
read loud enough for the majority to
hear.
Mrs. Coan sang in her usual excellent
manner.
Mr.. Owen spoke as follows: An
alyzed, this resolves itself into the
question of whether unselfshness is not
the wisest form of selishness. Peter
Hurdick formed new party, and issued
short platform of three planks-the
first to look out for Peter, the second to
look out for Hurdick, and the third to
look cut for Peter Hurdick. This is the
prevailing philosophy, and accordingly
we have the age of gambling which is
the apotheosis of selfishness, everybody
trying to beggar everyone else. The
ages preceding the Fall of Rome and the
French Revolution were both great
gambling ages, and we know
the result. Our operations today
extend over far wider area
and are far more gigantic. The crash
will necessarily be 30 much the greater
| if we do not avert it. The truth of fra
ternity is recognized in such maxims al
"Union is strength" ga house divided
against itself cannot stand" We see
practically the power of union in such
cases as those of the Roman Catholic
church, the Jews, the Grand Army, the
trusts themselves. They owe their power
to co0peration-the members help one
another. But if any one of these bodies
were, by the perfection Of it's cooperation,
to become 80 powerful as to conquer the
world it might be bad for those who
didn't belong to that body. Thus We see
that it is not partial but general co0pera-
ton that is wanted, that none may be
left out. We are all at present doing our
best to build up most powerful organi-
cation in which, however, we are to have
no share-a tremendous money power.
We know that the men who built our
railroads became millionaires; we COM
plain of them as such, and say they
threaten the safety of the republic; yet
in the same breath we invite them to be-
come billionaires by asking them to build
more railroads for us. In this there is
no logic. Either let us stop abusing the
millionaires, or let us stop creating them,
and stop it by doing things for ourselves.
The root idea of Democracy lie

and manage our own affairs. Why
ask others to do it for us, and
then blame them for getting rich out Of
the job? The German Socialists grasped
this clearly when they named themselves
Secial-Democrats; the English Socialists
when they styled their chief organiza.
ton the Social-Democrat Federation.
We are face to face with problem that
has got to be solved either we can 20 on
competing among ourselves and hand
over our affairs more completely year
after year to syndicates whose wealth is
already ridiculously great; or we can Sc!
our wits to work to see If we cannot dc
things for ourselves.
