and wage slavery, and recognizes
the supremacy of the State-the So
cial organism - over each of it's
units.
The contemplate struggle be-
tween wage slaves and masters with
the police as umpire, will, with the
adoption Of the new party tactics Of
political activity sink into insignif-
cauce before the grand contest Of
the intelligent citizens for political
and industrial freedom in the ma
ton s arena, where all may be heard
and all may use the weapon of equal
ity--the ballot.
AS politica! party, with such a
revolutionary platform as ours, we
have practically relegated the new
inconsistent demands which, as q
mere propagandistic society, work
ing mainly in the narrow circle Of
trade unlonism, were perhaps wisely
attached to the Platform in those
days, to the limbo of the past and,
with our noble banner Of pure So
ciallsm to the fore, may now step
forward confidently into the intellec-
tuaI fray, without danger Of being
wounded by our own small arms.
TO eliminate from our "demands"
those which are inconsistent with
the Socialist State will be the work
of the near future. Meanwhile, let
not those who would do practical
work for socialism stand apart from
the Socialist Party, but remember
ing that our organization 10 not ex-
empt from the laws of evolution,
add their intelligence, their lives
and their heart beats to the reyolu-
tionary organization whose power of
attraction grows with every new
force added, and whose light in
creases in power with its growth.
The time is near at hand when
thousands who are now standing
aloof will, with honest pride, assume
the name of Socialist, and be EMIT
led to t as members of the Socialist
Party.

fabric. But to confound anarchism
of this maleticent type with the
State socialism of Karl Marx, which
has over a million adherents, Ger
man artisans, reveals depth of ig-
norance unworthy Of an American
legislator. Mr.. Ford ought to know
that of late years the great majority
of immigrants from the manufacture
ing and commercial cities of Ger
many have been expert, sober, law
abiding and industrious men. They
have come here to escape the drag
net Ct CONSUMPTION, and the iron sys-
TEN Of militarlsm which, under Bis
marck, brushes the fatherand.
They are almost all Socialists by
conviction, but the transformation
of society which they contemplate is
to be effected, not by violence or
bloodshed, but by d legitimate APP
peal to the ballot-box. These so
ciallstic refugees from the savage
rule of Bismarck deserve as cordlal
greeting at our hands as was given
to the exiled reyolutionists of 1913.
We cannot accept their theories of
social reconstruction; we may believe
that communities are more progress
slve and more staple when founded
on the core principle Of individual
ism But we should no more dis.
criminate against certain social
schemes than against particular re-
ligions, so long rs their advocates
are good citizens. ". Y. Sun.

SUCCESSFUL COOPERATION

How is this for successful co-opera-
ton. An item in an exchange says
Something over two years ago a num-
Der Of Knights of Labor in Alabama
started in to found a new town on the
cooperative plan. They called their
town site Powderly, and, starting with
a cash capital of $3.50, a membership
of 70, and paying $1.00 per week assess
ment each, have now improvements of
more than 100000, and just contracted
for the erection of 80 more houses.
FiliamspOrt Labor Record
1t may be admitted that this is
successful cooperation, if true, but
it does not benefit the laboring class
nor the country at large. Old Cor
nelius Vanderbilt started in with a
scow and "made' millions, and he
didn't know anything about the
Knights of Labor. The co-opera-
ton of the Knights of Powderly is
on about the same par with the CO.
operation of Smith 4 Jones, who
pool their issues in a real estate
speculation.

their needs, both as to the sweet
promises Of his scheme and as to its
deceptive plausibility in the eyes OF
the honest but ignorant laborers,
the clerks and porters and hunkeys
of commerce, over whom the "mas-
tiers" can exercise potent influence.
At the same time, the English Social
lists will continue their eternal agita-
ton, and gather the more intelligent
proletarians into the Social Demo-
cratic fold. Henry George early
comprehended that he couldn't fool
the Socialists in America, or he never
would have openly opposed them !;
but he knew he had well-informed
proletarians to deal with, not super
fetal though well-meaning maunder-
ers, and he wisely betook him to an
other field. The capitalist "demo-
cratic" party used him and his agi-
tation and failed to figure out a
political victory last fall, and 30 the
little politician can well be spared
for season.
AS far as any political significance
is concerned, the single tax idea Is
not likely to rise above the level of
"Schwanzpolitik" in England, any
more than in the United States.

AGITATION NOTES.

Garside leaves for the SoutL and
Southwest Thursday, the l4th, by
way of Washington, Cleveland, In
dianapolis and Toledo.
Every section should use the
elght-hour agitation to the utmost
extent as means of spreading our
platform.
Garslde requests that all persons
desiring to communicate with him
should know that his permanent ad-
dress IL at the office of this paper.
This summer the sections should
agltate amongst the unemployed.
Call mass meetings in the open air.
Everywhere an inquiry is afoot
about Socialism. We need to be
ready for our opportunity. Agitate,
educate, organize.

LABOR'S BEST ORGANIZER.

No, the industry..of mail transpor-
tation and delivery was not organ
lied as u trades union before it be-
came a State, or Government, insti-
tuition. The political organization
of society took right hold and organ
lied the post office system with it's
thousands of ramitications. 1t is
not probable that the dream Of a
past generation of social reformers
with their hopes pinned to trades
unionism will ever come to material
ize via economic organizations of
labor. The Socialist Party of to-
day, however, sees in the State po-
tent organizing power, and hence
the determination to seek to control
the State, using the means provided
by the State under the Constitution.

to paternal descent, and the group fam
lily, through the pairing and patriarchal
families, gradually changed into the
homogeneous family with exclusive CO.
habitation, because this form of the
family alone enables the establishment
of the relation.of father and child.
The idea of property grew and devel-
oped with the possibility of its accumu-
lation.
when field culture had demonstrat-
ed" says Morgan, THAT the whole sur
face of the earth could be made the sub
ject of property owed by individuals in
severalty, and it was found that the
head of the family became the natural
center of accumulation, the new prop
erty career of mankind was inaugural
ed" The time had now arrived when
monogamy, having assured the pater-
nifty Of children, would assert and main
tain their exclusive right to inherit the
property of their deceased father.
1t is not necessary for the purposes of
this article to discuss the necessity of
protecting property after mankind had
entered the property career some five
thousand years ago, and how the organ
ization of society underwent various
changes, which eliminated in the for
nation of the State. 1t is enough to
understand that the State, as we'll as the
homogeneous family, are the result Of
the power of accommodating property,
and of the growth of the property idea.
Is marriage a failure? Considering
the question from historical stand

| cause it answers the purpose for which
it was established. 1t assures the pater-
nifty of children and the legitimacy of

Another question, however, presents
itself to us. 1t is this: Is the property
career the final destiny of mankind
We already see signs of a change on the
| horizon.
'Since the advent of civilization"
says Morgan, "the outgrowth of prop
erty has been SO immense, its forms 50
diversified, its uses so expanding, its
management so intelligent in the inter
ests of its owners, that it has become,
on the part of the people, an unmanage
able power. The human mind stands
bewildered in the presence of its own
creation. The time will come, never
theless, when human intelligence will
rise to the mastery over property, and
define the relations of the State to the
property it protects, as well as the obi
cations and limits of the rights of its
owners. The dissolution of So
ciety bids fair to become the termina-
ton of career of which property is
the end and aim, because such career
contains the elements of self-destruc-
ton. Democracy in government,
brotherhood in society, equality in
rights and privileges, and universal edu-
cation foreshadow the next higher plane
of society to which experience, intelli-
gence and knowledge are steadily tend
ing"

Is MARRIAGE A FAILURE ?
BY PHILIP RAPPAPORT.
Continued from last areek. }

Continued from last treek)
But as to social institutions which
have grown up, the question whether
they are failures or not is irrelevant,
nay, is impossible. Such institutions
have been called forth by certain cir
cumstances and conditions existing at
then with all conditions existing, an
swered then allpurpOses OF their establish
ment, necessarily continued to do SO for
time, and must necessarily cease to do
so as, in the course of progress and de-
velopment, the conditions of human So
ciety change. 1t is but fair to presume
that the time must come when the
present form of the family must make
room for another one, and even the dis
cussion referred to above is already a
sign that we are drifting in that direc-
ton. What the next higher form of
the family will be, do not venture to
predict,
However, we can form an idea or guess
at it, if we consider the conditions under
which the homogeneous family came
into existence and the causes which led
to its development.
At the time when the consanguinOus
family existed and during period of the
existence of the punaluan family, the
idea of property had not developed sim
ply because there was none, or very lit
tie of it, The group family conditioned
a sort of communism. Not even for
slavery did the conditions exist, for
what is the use of having a slave, if he
eats himself up! Beyond the necessities
for his own bodily existence, man was
not able to produce anything, and a
slave is only useful if from the product
of his labor something remains for his
owner besides that which is neces-
sary to the slaves maintenance. Agri-
culture was not known, and land there
fore not owned by anybody. Conse-
quently the organization of society was
based merely on personal relations, fam
lilies, tribes and so forth, while the or
ganization of society at present is based
upon territory and property. The
change took place within historic times
and was in Europe first undertaken
by the Athenians when Cleistenes di:
vided Attica into a hundred demes.
AS civilization advanced, as man
learned to cultivate the soil, to domesti-
cate wild animals, the conditions sc
changed that the individual was able &c
produce beyond his own immediate
wants, and to accumulate property,
1t is easy to be seen that as long as the
group family existed, everyone was able
to point with certainty to his mother
but nobody could tell who his father
was. Everyone had one mother, but I
number of fathers. Consequently de
scent was then, as researches have
shown. beyond any doubt, in the mater
nal line. The woman was the head o.
the household, and the little property
there was was inherited by her and hel
own children.
In consequence of his physical strength
the masculine part of human society
, was always the producer of the necessi
ties of life. and when civilization was st
, far advanced that the accumulation O
considerable property was possible, nat
urally the desire rose in the father tina
{ his own child should inherit his prop
) erty.

time than ten hours? That the
more leisure the worker has the bet
ter? That the more workers there
are employed the less oilers there
are? That if all the workmen in
the country 90 on strike on Il partlc-
ular day and stick to it long enough
the bosses will have to cave in?
Besides, those who started this eight
hour agitation don't want the "as,
sistance" of the Socialist Party.
1t puts them in an aw kward posi-
ton before their conservative"
friends. The Socialist Party's pro-
gramme is big enough for Socialists,
and the propaganda of Socialism,
comprehending, as it does all other
beneficial movements Of labor. is
sufficient to keep Socialists busy for
a year or two.
A leading editorial in our daily
German contemporary, the VOlkSzet-
ing, expresses the Impotence, to
say the least, OF the writer, with
those very foolish people who cannot
see "Kingdom Come" in the eight
hour strike scheme, so kindly fur
nished the masses" by the St. Louis
convention of delegates from various
trades unions, known as the Fedora
ton Of Labor. "Political propa-
ganda alOne," says he Tor she), sis
powerless in this matter" Of
course that is only an insinuation,
but the political tactics of The So
cialisC Party do not exclude other
means of agitation and when it
comes to action, Socialists will not
adopt anarchistic methods, but, as
citizens, will use the ballot, and
when in the course of time our good
friends have become tired of strikes
and mass-meetings and the tlattery
of orators, and the steady encroach-
ment of capital supported by the
present capitalist government, and
the worry and wear of roaming the
wide world Ger" looking for job,
and democratic and "republican'
broken promises with free-trade and
single-tax variations, then perhaps
they'll make up their minds that
they had better join with the Social
list Party in striving for the acqui-
sition of political power" accord
ing to program.
