Our friends, the prohibitionists, GER
tainly know what they are talking
about when they thus criticize the old
party politicians. There's nothing like
independent political action for party
that means business, and there's moth
ing that the machine politicians dread
more than that the working people
should organize and act, independently
of the rotten parties, as socialists.

The Voice, organ of the prohibition
lists, gives some advice to its readers
which may with profit be taken to
heart by the working people. 1t says:

men, for labor laws lin the Legislature

1.-The Socialists are always fighting,
attacking, criticizing." That's what
some bright Observers say, and they say
truly. And, "by the same token" So
cialists are being fought, attacked and
maligned But the weapons are I'M
equal, the Socialists bearing the best
arms-truth (unpalatable, sometimes
and leaden-heeled), science, (sure cure
for supersttion), and determination and
patience bound to get there0 Their
active opponents use such medieval of
fensive weapons as lies, superstitions
and malignity, and only hold the upper
hand because of their numbers and,
what is of more Importance, because
they are entrenched behind an almost
impregnable wall of ignorance, through
which the Socialists have, however,
succeeded in making breaches here and
there.

AS to the Socialists, why not? When
they are strong enough to strike out

Socialism must take its place, The Bis

The Foratm for July publishes paper
by one r. j. Hinton, who has gone to
his reward under the republican, adj
ministration, in which that rather no.
torious individual thus uses the respec-
table pages of the excellent magazine
to take revenge for his expulsion from
the Socialist Party, He puts it thus;
1T is difficult to speak with respect
of the two weekly papers published as
organs by the American Socialist Labor
Party, especially the one printed in
English"
Considering that "the one printed in
English had occasion to publish the fol-
lowing paragraphs on the date indi-
Gated, one can see where the difficulty"
comes in.
In a report of a, meeting held at Cen
trail Labor Union Hall, the following
occurred:
"a person who has figured rather
prominently as tdlker of Socialism,
but who is in the employ of ''republi-
can people, attempted to make a dis
turbance, but prudently left the hall
before he was elected, July IA. 1888.
He (Hinton) apologized to the au-
dience for his disorderly conduct at the
meeting of the Sunday previous. He
emphatically denied what he construed
to be an insinuation that he was in the
employ of the republican party

Isabella Hinton were read. AS the
former is under indictment, his resigna-

Since Hinton's expulsion, positive evi.

William Morris, in criticism of
Looking Backward" says: II believe
that the ideal of the future does not
point to the lessening of mems energy
by the reduction of labor to a minimum,
but rather to the reduction of pain in
labor to a minimum" Now, we do not
see that. Looking Backward" pro-
poses to lessen mems energy or to abso-
lutely reduce labor to minimum, but
rather to get the greatest results from
the least possible effort, not sparing the
effort. The desideratum is greater good
results, and the greater happiness they
would bring to humanity.

younger days. oliver Wendell
Holmes says: II have never got
over the saddening effect of this
early discipline; indeed I have hard.
ly recovered from it to this day." If
the stern old Puritan Sabbath. with
its subduing, saddening effects,
wrought out such joyous natures as
Beecher's and gave to the world such
a blending of tenderness and strength
laughter and tears. and deep pathos
and sunny humor as Oliver Wendell
Holmes. let US have another century
of Puritan Sabbaths. Up to date the
Sunday of the beer garden has failed
to bring forth a Holmes or Beecher.
1t has evolved a Johann Most an
August Spies, but somehow that sort
of product doesn't seem to be quite
up to the old Puritan mark. If it is
up to the mark of to-day, then
heaven save the mark. When you

member that it was the steady going

Did you ever ask a man the time
just after he had inspected his watch
and put it in his pocket? If so, did
you ever receive an answer before
the man pulled his watch out and

it is that this is done would be diff!
cult to explain, but if you will ask
your friend to tell YOU the time the
next time you observe him scrutinize
his watch and snap the lidi you will
find that he will take another look at
