Fools day-election day.

The machine is working, the man is
looking for work.
A rich idler is a greater curse to
the world than tramp.

Under ompetition, failure is a
crime: success is right.

BY means of competition the ex-
ploiters have enslaved the world.
The Editor ad interim" has ceased
to be editor, but still ad interim, at
the case,
Destitution and misery is strong
evidence that some one has lived IN
idleness.
Christ says love your neighbor as
yourself, but business says take care
of yourself.
r. II. Young of Equality has paid
the first money for copies of our illus
trated edition.
If the principles of socialism are
true they are as eternal as truth and
must prevail over all opposition.

When are you going to put an end
to the most accused form of slavery
that has ever disgraced the earth?
The emancipation of the toilers will
not come through a relenting of those
who now plumber in a legal way, but
through the just demands of the
toilers themselves.
There is nothing to arbitrate and

Our colonists are all seeking the |
kingdom of heaven, but they expect
TO find it here on earth; they cannot |
content themselves with promises of
post norton happiness.
That kind of happiness may be bet

The generals and colonies all say
that the army has been abundantly
and luXuriously furnished, and they
are honorable men, hence we must
conclude that our soldier boys died |
because they had been led to believe
this a necessary incident of their
profession. 1t was not starvation
but their sense of duty that killed

Our colonists mean to be polite,
considerable and kind, but they do !
not care a copper cent for the I'M
tried opinion of king, priest, president
or COW boy. What we want is shelter,
bread and butter and the best educa-
tiOnal facilities.
Opinions don't get these things for |
US, hence we rely upon hal d work and |
the application of common sense
guided by experience.

Within the last few weeks, in Cali |
fornia and in Massachusetts,, social |
lists have been arrested and impris-
oned for attempts to exercise free
speech.
In all cases of the kind reported |
more violence was used in making the |
arrests than was necessary, and in all
such cases the officers were rude and |
abusive, showing that they must have |
been conscious of being in the wrong. |

Some people persist in saying that |
socialists are evil minded, resolved to
destroy the institutions of civiliza-
tion, etc.
ITO do good is our motto, and we
seek to preserve every good work, but
we want to destroy such institutions
of civilization as have enslaved the |
race.
We would destroy evil and cultivate
good. We do not envy the wealthy, /
as some claim, the possession of any |
wealth which they have earned. We
would add to their comforts and de-
lights and we would have the poorest
