bread and butter? All, he will but be-
gin his career then; he will develop
new powers, new energies, in a word,
new life. 1t will be indeed second
birth, Renaissance such as the world
has never seen.
We do not want to accumulate
property there is no need Of it. We
want to use the worlds wealth, not to
monopolze it. 1--WE brought nothing
into this world, and it is certain we can
carry nothing out" In a cooperative
state of society, we shall use everything
to OcH nothing,
However, as long as mans services
are required in the work of production,
the work must be divided equally
among the workers, allowing each an
equal chance, SO many hours for each
individual, the results to be also equally
! apportiOned. Annual estimates could
be made Of the amount Of production
desired for the ensuing year in each
and every department Of industry, and
the number Of hours necessary to its
accomplishment. The whole number of
hours required, divided by the number
of abIe-bodied adults, would give the
number Of hours to be allotted to each
| individual. The net value of the prod
ucts, divided in the same way, would
accord to each individual his pro rata
share of the common wealth.
This would be an equal and, it seems
to me. at the same time an equitable
distribution. There is certain amount
of work to be done; let everybody do
his share Of it; this aggregated labor
nets certain results; let everybody have
an equal share of them. Equal service
and equal results, no one person being
allowed to monopolize either the labor
or the products. If this is not an eqult-
able plan of production and distribu-
ton, for one fail to see why.
COmrade Rosenberg says "For social
lists of to-day to embody in their plat
| form a postulate that will first ripen
when the cooperative commonwealth
will celebrate its centennial, would be
the height of absurdity,' and he thinks
1--WE had better let good enough alone.
Since we have platform, | cannot
see the absurlity Of constructing it OF
good, sound material. 1t is certainly
very important to lay the foundations
Alright. And if we should follow out
the policy of "let good enough alone
we should scarcely have even social
istic party. In fact, nothing is COCO
enough that can possibly be improved
Let US have no msound planks in ouI

give forth no uncertain sound, lest any

THE PROGRESS OF MAN.
by II. y. TRAIL.

Hard wss the lot of our fathers, the
men of the early world,
Beast like, scratching the earth for
niggarlly dole of her fruit,
Wedged in the clefts Of the hills, in the
hOlI0ws of tree trunks curled
Cropping in gl0oms Of the cave, starry
log on berry and root,
Sheterless weaponless, weak, a bag
gard and wandering brood,
Scared by the brand of the sun, by the
whirlwind scattered and tossed,
Buried in drifts of the snow, whelmed
by the rivers in food,
Flayed by the scourge of the storm,
SCARED by the dagger Of frost.
A wretched and barbarous race, un.
skilled, at the mercy Of all,
In haste to escape from its foes to the
hiding place of the dead;
Hunted of hunger and lean, whose life
was plteous crawl
From the dark Of the womb to the
dark of the grave through the
shadow of dread!
But we! we are cunning and strong, we
have made all wisdom our own;
We have mastered all arts, we have
tools and raiment and roof over
head.
We laugh at the shrek Of the winds, we
dance on the brute oyerthrown,
With his skin we have clothed us
about, with his flesh we have filled
us and fed.
Our fathers, the covering men of the
caves, were the cave bears prey;
They fled him, we eek him; the
SHOWS with his blood, not ours,
shall be dyed;
We follow his tracks through the drift,
ha. ha! we spear him and Stay,
We feast on the fat Of his ribs; We
comfort our lOins with his hide.
o marvellous progress Of mani O race
of unspeakable craft!
O strikers of fire from the heart Of the
rock in a fortunate hour.
Who have fitted the sharpened flint to
the wonderful pine wood haft,
In the day of your weakness and
want, who dreamt of the day Of
your power?

erlv instructed in the dignity and no.
bility Of performing some useful work
for the Commonwealth, the few cases
which may occur of able bodied men or
women refusing to contribute their fair
share Of exertion for the State may be
dealt with separately. II. may be neces'
sary to say to these; "lf thou dost not
work thou shalt not eat But when
we consider the little time it will be
necessary to devote to compulsory la
Dor when all work, is it not reasonable
to suppose that the performance Of
work will be more pleasurable than irk
some, and that az a consequence, there
will be very few, if any, who will try
to shrk their duty:
Now let us consider the practical
workings of equal remuneration. Let
US suppose that Tom, the hod-carrer,
and John, the mason, are equally remu-
neratcd for working the same time. Is
any injustice done? Is one occupation
more laborious than the othcrt Will
John, the mason, grumble because Tom,
the hod.carrier, gets as much pay Az he
If he does, let him change occupations.
1t may be asked here, how will the diff
ference between the irksOmeness or labO-
robustness Of different occupations be ad
iusted? These would adjust themselves.
Under scientific Socialism, where the
division of labor would be fully carried
out, the young would be allowed or
! even encouraged to learn as many differ
| ent branches of the industrial arts as
they might desire.
Let us assume that clerks and coal
miners have, at the start, to work eight
hours per day; it may be found in a
very short time that there is a scarcity

| ers would be free to change their OCCu.
patton, the hours for each miner to
| work would have to be reduced to such
extent as would attract the required
number to work in the mines Thus,
the equilibrium might be brought about
by the miners working four hours tc
the clerks eight. This arrangement
would apply to all occupations. The
inducement to laborious or Objectionable
work would be reduced hours of labor
instead of high wages.
Comrade Rosenberg refers to the ne
cessty Of maintaining competition II
some form, but Mr.. Gronlund has sup
piled us with better word than that
namely, emulation. We have to get
this idea of dollar and cent rewards on,
of our bones. Even under the present
crude system, sufficient stimulus can be
| given to students in our schools and col
leges other than dollars an& cents. The
| Greeks, as we know, were stimulated t(
great deeds by other means than thi!
nineteenth century fetish
If Comrade Rosenberg thinks i
would be easy TO calculate each lnd
viduals share, other than an equa
share in the common product of co
operative labor, let him, for the beneti
of the cause, formulate scheme which
would be satisfactory to all.

~ tftt ~ W hHttft @tttp''tN'
Two communications have appeared
in the last number of the ADVOCATE,
criticisng and censuring the position
taken by Comrade Stahl III regard to
our party platform. 1t is quite evident
that this question is destined to engen,
der Il good deal of controversy. "Ieno"
thinks that the spirit Mr.. Stahl wishes
to instil into the party platform 'would
ruin the party" In my Judgment, the
principles upon which aparty is founded
Justly take precedence of the party.
The party exists for the sake of the
principles, not the principles for the
party. The latter must not be insubor-
dinate to the former.
Socialism will promote individual
ISM What a singular proposition
Why not say Socialism will promote
anarchism." 1t means the same thing.
Individualism is the direct antithesis of
Socialism. lndlvidualism is simply the
doctrine of ldiSScz fare. 1t is the prn-
ciple Of everyone for himself and Satan
take the hindmost. 1t is individualism
which is SOcialism's most deadly foe;
an enemy upon which we are pledged to
| wage war of determination.
| Mr.. Stahl is right; fundamentally and
emphatically right. He knows exactly
what he is talking about. He does not
commit the error of Confounding indi-
vldualism and individuality, which are
the oppostes of each other, as light is
the opposite of darkness. individuality
can never find its proper expression
under a system of individualsm.
lndividualism simply means that
society as an organized entity, shall
be subordinate to the individual Social
ism means that the individual shall
he subordinate to society. What a
folly, then, to say that Socialism will
promote indivdualism." No, it will de-
stroy lndividualism, but it will foster,
promote and develop individuality.
The means of subsistence must be
made as free rs air, as common as sun
light. and f,en humanity for the first
time will begin to live. The human
race is not destined to toll forever for
"the meat which perisheth. There are
greater and nobler ends to be achieved
by living than simrly to avert starvation
or to gain the exclusive possession O
something, which simply means tina
everyone else is to be deprived of III,
use of it.
1t is strange that our friends do no
recognize the fact that manual labor, a

, is being rapidly chmi ated. The TIM

To the HOrkmeH's Aduocdte ,

Comrade Rosenberg seems to me
little confused in his reply 10 Comrade
Stahl. | cannot quite understand
whether he means equal remuneration
for all who work. or otherwise. 1t is
important that Socialists should know
exactly what they are aiming for, in
order to become competent to teach
others.
As | understand il, in the Socialist
State all will be educated TO perform
some useful 'cork for the community.
Assuming, then, this work to be per,
formed by all, the only scientific method
of remuneration is equal remuneration
for all This will save endless confu-
sion, endless causes of discomfort and
endless calculations, and justice will be
done.
