DIsPAss1oNATE STANDPOINT.

Addison William Barr presided. In
opening he drew attention to the fact
that the social democratic party was
not very strong in Worcester. He ex-
pected, however, that there would be a
constant accession of strength and that
the party would be able to do some
thing in Worcester for the working
classes and society.
This will be accomplished through the
political machinery of TIE government.
1t is the duty of the people, he said, to
take an interest in class politics. Refer
ring to the success of the party in Hav-
erhill, Mr.. Barr said that it was an in
novation in American politics that the
proletarians should unite and not only
elect a chief magistrate, but also sew
eral members of the legislature.
The lines, he said are so sharply
drawn in Essex county that it is no
longer the republicans democrats and
socialists, but the socialists and the
allied in the effort to crush out the So
cialist movement.
Mr.. Barr announced that a collection
would be taken up to defray the ex-
penses of the evening, and two women
collected a generous sum.
There were piano selections, and it
was noticeable that the
NATIONAL AIRS OF THE UNITED
STATES
were played in preference to the revolu-
tionary airs that are so popular with
members of the socialist labor party
Mayor Chase When introduced by Mr..
Barr, received a rousirg reception and
at telling points all through his speech
the applause was renewed again and
again MayOr Chase said.
Mr. Chairman friends and citizens of
Worcester: l am happy that l had the
opportunity to come here before J. cease
to be freak. They are parading me up
and down the state as a freak Next
year I will no longer be freak for there
will be other socialist mayors in other
Massachusetts cities, don't pretend to
be an orator nor do l claim TO be the
smartest man in the world
I have come here to tell you what
1 know about socialism Industrial
conditions are such that people are be-
ing driven to socialism Conditions are
such as to sicken the heart of any man
or woman on earth. The crimes sui
cides and murders in this country are
appalling, and the people are not al
ways going to allow this fostering sys-
tenn of corruption to exist ! maintain
as a social democrat that crime and
all t0dt you ueSIll BdQ tdn ne traced TO
capitalism and unjust economic conGi-
tions. We allow a few to get possess
sIcn of the means whereby we get a
livelihood. Everything we need comes
from the earth Suits of clothes are
not rained down, the fish does not come
out of the sea already fried, mince pies
and doughnuts do not grow on apple
trees The moment we apply labor
power to nature, we can produce plenty
Tie great mass Of the people are pro-
hibited from getting that which IS
theirs by common right.
THE EARTH WAS MADE FOR MEN,
not for one man or a few men. 1t is
an indictment against the almighty to
allow this insane competitive system
to der ciop, and to permit of a few peo-
pie on one side getting possession of
the means of production and distribu-
ton while the great majority stand

fiuttering up from her forward ventila-
tors and the fire signal displayed In her
rigging the North German Lloyd ocean

smoke was seen curling up from one OF
the forward ventilators. In o short time
1t grew in volume and it WAS discovered
coming from one OF the forward, lower
port Compartments in which the thous-
and bales of cotton were stored.
