great wellbeing of each can be OBJ
tanned and made secure. Society to-
day is to great and vital extent con-
strueted on a contrary principle.
Each member or each family endeav-
ors to obtain for itself the largest
amount of wealth and enjoyment
possible regardless of the veal of
others. That as result of this self
ishness operating for centuries among
the people, the chief means of sus-
tenance and happiness have become
the property of small section of the
community. the larger number being
doomed to comparative want and
misery. The result of this unequal
social advantage is that the land and
industrial machinery, all the indis-
pensable means of producing and ex-
changing wealth, are held as the pri-
waite property of the few, who are

pirate the labor of those who are

to hire themselves for wages to those
who thus hold them in their power.
privileged CLASSY live in idleness and
| the possession of riches while the
other has to toll for what in many
instances barely keeps its members
alive. Thus poverty and degrading
social conditions prevail to such an
extent that life is not worth living
and real social progress is wellnigh
impossible. Under socialism, this
state of things would be entirely
changed. Land and capital, wealth
of all kinds required for the needs
and prosperity of the people would
be declared the common property, OF
rather utilized for the common good
of all. Work, instead of being inn
posed upon one part of the population
would be engaged in by every one
capable of lending aid and would
be as light, healthful and pleasant as
possible. All means of physical i'm
provement and recreation; all means
of intellectual and artistic culture
science, art, song and travel would
be freely given to, and freely used by
the community. The moral code OF
socialism would not be derived from
some authority and imposed, bu
would consist of the proper restraint.

CONDITIONS AND THE REMEDY
The Many Should Not Depend Upon the
Few for the Right to Work In
Order to Live.

Socialists claim that, however it
may have been in former stages of
the evolution of the human race, we
have now reached plane of socializa-
ton in which it is impossible for us
to live as fully and as happily as we
would, and as we are convinced we
could except by the abandoning of all
methods of living that cause avoid
able harm to others. We must recog-
nize that we are all dependent upon
each other for whatever physical OF
mental sustenance we enjoy above
what would be possible were we each
to live independently or wild in the
field or woods. And that it is only by
cooperating and mentally helping to
upbuild the highest common well.

CHARACTER IN ONES VOICE.
It IsNas Perceptible ms the Words
You speak.

II lsNas Perceptible as the Words
You speak.
Unless the voice sounds cordiality
words are powerless; unless the voice
attests self confidence protestations do
not convince; unless the voice speaks
sincerity the apology is useless. 1t is
necessary that we should control the
voice to reflection of that phase of
mind and mood which we desire to
present. When we would convince
people sof our efficiency, we must not
permit q weak kneed voice to stagger
under the words. When our heart
goes out in warmth and affection, ii
cannot get far in brass lined, iron
bound voice. Cancellation Is vaiL
when the voice rings defiance.

when the instrument whirs and
wheezes. The most impassioned ap-
peal to John to come home to dinner

tones and most expressive words when
you are talking through the possessed
wire to the business manager, but II
the possessed wire is in a creaky fit
the business manager does not get the
right idea at all.
The truth is that most of us are al

This Is SO with almost every one. This
