The Socialist Party in Chicago
may 20 into the Spring elections and
win in several districts this year.
The true doctrines of socialism are
not by any means disliked by Amer
leans, and it is only the continued
and persistent Misrepresentation of
the daily press that make it possible
for ordinarily intelligent men to
c0nfound socialism with ant-social-
ism. An honest, straght-out Social
list Ticket with the Platform of the
Socialist Party ought to be in the
hands Of every decent man in Chi
cago before election day.
The trus. business is developing
finely. 1t is becoming international
to a large extent. Lately we hear
of English capitalists who are buy
ing up the American breweries ard
employing the former employees as
managers. And "Our own" railroad
companies are consolidating beauti-
fully. Only the day after Judge
Barrett, Of New York, gave his
grand piece of good advice in his de-
ciSion, which was heralded rs blow
at the trusts by the daily papers, the
raIlroaders made up a little trust to
prevent competition and fix mini
mum prices.
How can any true Knight of Labor,
trades uni0nist. single tax adherent, so
clahSt or indiVidualiSt consistently re-
fuse to throw his whole soul into the
great movement to make the land free 2
-DeHrer arbitrator.
How indeed? But then what
does our contemporary mean by
"free" as applied to land? All true
Socialists are doing their level best,
according to their light, to make
land free from private ownership.
But the Socialist Party is essentially
a Labor Party, and recognizes the
fact that this measure would not of
Itself make men free. Consequently
they have adopted platform which
covers the ground necessary to
emancipate Labor and make all men
free-to perform their duties and be
happy.

WHAT ARE THEY FOR ?

w ~ fNlAG ' ! ! - ) w
The Socialist scheme of public
administration does not contemplate
the office of President of the United
States, and, by proper sequence,
those Of State Governors, city May
or8, etc. And yet the Socialist State
would mean Capitalization Of admin
istrati0n or directive power to the
highest degree Of efficiency.
So used have we become to those
government ornaments, that to the
minds of some the very suggestion
of their adjustment seems sacrilig-
ious- anarchic. But, have cur
friends ever seriously asked them
selycs-what are these offices for i?
Are they necessary Are they in
strict keeping with democracy?
The Socialist Party say they are
not, and among the political de-
mands following the Platform is this
one:
"Aboition of the Presidency, Vice
Presidency and Senate of the United
States, An Executive Board to be estab
lished, whose members are to be elected,
and may at any time be recalled by the
House of Repre- as the only
legislative body. The States and MUM
C-palities to adopt corresponding amend
ments to their constitutions and stat
utes."
This would involve the abolition
of that very dangerous perqulste of
the imitation monarchs in our Ma
tional and State governments-"pat
ronago'-whIch gives to Il few indi-
viduaIs a degree Of power that is roy
atty itself.
Breach this question to your
ncighbor and notice how quickly he
will say: "But the Government
needs n head The proper admin
istration of the affairs of this great
nation needs great many heads;
every department requires competent
administration, knowledge Of de-
tails which it is impossible for any
one person to master. The highest
ideal of civil service requires com
potency as a prime factor in eXecut-
ing the duties of office; but the ca
pacity of selecting competent pub
lie officers is not vested in any one
man. In this direction slight ad
vance has already been made; but it
is as inadequate as it is unpopular
among successful party politicians.
Civil service reform is but a phrase
an idea without authority. Still
it is a thought, and thought precedes
wise action.
1t is because Of the power to APP
point government employees whose
salaries are far beyond those of work
ers who compete with each other for
employment in the "Opcn market

true in theory of our future hopes,
is it not also true Of our present
struggle?
The common good is our cry;
then anything which hindcrs the
common good is wrong, then also
all REPRESENTATION is wrong; like
wise all lack Of discipline, all
breaches from the common doctrine
in public opposition. If men are
socialists then they must acquescc
with the doctrines, teachings, rules
and laws Of the whole, or openly re-
pudiate that whole. The doctrine
Of 81 will do as | choose is exactly
the doctrine Of capitalism, for it re-
fuses to consider the possible good
or evil result upon others Of any ac-
ton.
AS an economic principle social
ism aims to bring into existence
condition Of society in which all that
is necessary to life shall belong to
all who live, without ANY possibility
of alienation, and in which the pro-
ducer shall receive the full benefit of
his productions. So much is gener-
ally accepted; but the harmony is at
once broken when the logical Sc
quences are stated. We must rec0g-
nize in the beginning that between
socialism and present economic sys-
tens there is no possibility of SYM
patty, the one aims at the total de-
struCtion Of the other. Economists
have for ages taught the necessary
inequality Of conditions, etc, and in
late years these same views, with
slight technical variations, are still
the study Of students. This is ortho-
doXy; the only change is not one of
principle but of method. Capital
has found it more profitable to con-
troll raw material and the markets
through which nccessarics are dis
trlbuted; hence trusts, monOpolies,
ETC.; these are simply evolutions Of
Cuisines" Capital has used the
ever increasing and ever concentrate
ing population to foster the growth
Of their own controlling power.
There has been no corresponding
progress amongst the workers. The
producers have gained no benefit
whatever. Their economic power is
less to-day than ever it was. "The
increase of the nations wealth is Il
meaningless phrase; wealth has in
creased, but the possessOrs Of that
wealth control it for individual benc-
fit, and have obtained it from the
labor of others. Think of this por-
ton of the system then; can there
be compromise in any degree? We
think not. The various political
factions which uphold and control
the commerce of the present are our
opponents, 1t is neither policy nor
prudcnce to play with a rattle
snake.

The ., 0. P. of moral ideas has
another sin to answer for. The
Voice, a lively prohibitionist paper
published in New York, has made
charges of theft which affect the big
guns in the "republican" party 5
national committee. More. the
Iojce taunts Chairman Quay with
not having brought a libel suit
against it. The mailing list of the

FOR A BRIDGE At JEFFERSON.
The Petition Presented and the Viewer
Report Examined.


Report Examined.
At their last session the county
commissioners of Marion county APP
pointed viewers to examine and re-
port upon the proposed location Of
bridge across the Santiam river at
jefferson. The viewers appointed
were w. b. Culver, A. Coolidge and
David Simpson, who made a view
on April 18th and submitted a re-
port in substance as follows:
In their judgment the best and
cheapest location for a bridge at
that point would be with1rc 60 or
100 feet Of the railroad bridge now
crossing the Santiam river. The
full length required for said bridge
would be about 395 feet, with
an approach on the Linn
county side ok four hundred feet
and on the NanoY county side
Of from 80 to 7jfce1 The height of
bridge from wat@ At present stage
y! feet. Depth pr water - feet.
They were Of ~ opinion that a
good and substqStiN bridge could be
built for the srkl ofSlO,OOO.
Petitions prfying fNT the construc-
tion Of this lfidge were to-day filed
with the county court As these
petitions ave numerously signed by
"iriYens of jefferson and Salem and
Marion county generally, and as
similar petitions from the Linn
county people are to-day being pr
5cuted TO the comm ssioncrs in scs-
'ion at Albany, it is probable some
