bic in the hall of congress.
Today it strikes Il crust form the lips

There is no cottage humble enough
to escape it, no palace strong enough
to shut it out,
1t defies the law when it cannot
coerce suffrage.
1t is flexible to cajoie, but merciess in
victory.
1t is the moral enemy of peace and
order, the despoiler of men and terror
of women, the cloud that shadows the
face of children, the demon that has
dug more graves and sent more souls
unshrived to juign mt than all the
pestilenccs that have wasted life since
cod sent the plaques to Egypt, and all
all the wars since Joshua stood beyond
Jericho.
1t comes to ruin. and it shall profit
mainly by the ruin of your souls and
mine.
1t comes to mi-lead human souls and
to crush human hearts under it rum

1t comes to bring gray haired moth
ers down in shame and sorrow to their
graves.
1t comes to change the wife'S love
into despair and her pride into shame.
1t comes to still the laul hler on the

What Socialist Do Not Believe In.

We don't believe in ''anarchy,' and
therefore we demand that the pres
mt industrial anarchy shall cease,
and that our national business shall lie
managed in Il just, orderly and econom-
ical way.
We don't believe in destroying law
and order, and, therefor, we labor to
bring the present state Of chaO, and
misrule to an end by applying the
American principle of collective owner
ship.
We don't believe in any thing that
is not practical, and, therefore, we an
tlgonize the present wasteful, broken
down ana ridiculous business system,
and substitute common sense and sys-
,matic method.
We don't believe in 'dividing up"
and, therefore. wo demand that work
erS shall not be compelled to divide
their earnings with idle and useless
parasites.
We don't believe in cOntscation, and
llcI6lDIt, we ucolIc ltSdIIy W Stu DRUM
what has been coniiscated from the
people.
We don't believe in abolshing the
rights of property. and, therefore, we
are endeavoaing to secure those rights
f II every useful citizen.
We don't believe in paternalsm. and,
therefore, we wish to prevent the law
from favOring few monopolists.
We don't believe in losing our in
dividualism and. therefore. we object
30 Il grinding process that stops human
development. condemns nine-tenths of
Is to monotonous drudgery, and one
enth to life of apish etiquette and
frivolity.
We don't believe in diminishing in
.entive and ambition, and, therefore,
we resist state of things which places
everything worth striving far beyond
our reach.
We don't believe in the destruction
Of the family, and, therefore, We pro-
test against social system that has
broken up our homes and fostered

We don't believe in less morality,

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE
Thinks Old Party Papers Stumble on Truths
OccasionalIy-Party Growing.

a republic is never safe in the hands
OF one party for any considerable length
of time. Seattle Times editorial
July -.
Once in while these old party fos-
sis will stumble onto truth The
general public realizes the above fact
spoken of by the Times. When repub-
licanism was young, before it became
SO corrupt, it was for the people. Now
it is for anything but for the people.
The Times says as to the two terms of
Cleveland, that there was "a complete
administration. Does any one re.
member any difference, except to turn
republican Office holders out and put
democratic officials in? If so, then
memory is at fault. Oh YES, this was
said of the first Cleveland administra-
ton. at is Il matter of history that
more trusts were formed under Cleve-
lands administration than under the
whole Of the government history"
THE Peoria Journal is responsible
for the above statement. Instead of
curtaiing the trust problem, the Re
publicans have fostered it until now, this
is Il government of trusts, for the trusts
and by the trusts.
The socialists fail to see the differ
ence between the republican and dem
ocratic parties; they are one to all in
tents and purposes, in the congress Of
the nation. When it comes to voting
they ''stand pat" for capital Social
lists know that it is not safe to let the
government remain longer in the
hands of those who pose as your friends
to your face, and behind your back
vote to keep the great plain people un-
der as serfS to capital There is no
honesty in public officials today: they
deem Il public Office private snap, and
proceed to fill their pockets at the en-
pense of the state, county and city as
the case may be, for fear it may be
their last opportunity. Whether they
are democrats or republicans. they all
look alike and act alike. The Times
says that the American people are
''about evenly divided" | disput e
that. Has the Times forgotten the
large socialist vote of last fall? Why,
in the first district of Oregon, the So
cialists cast 100 votes for congressman
in June last, and every move of the
democrats and republicans makes more
socialists. Nay. Nay, Pauline, not
evenly divided, by any means, for So
cialists will occupy second place, as
against democrats in the near future.
Cleveland will be as good for the re-
pubicnas as Roosevelt.

TAX SALES ARE UPHELD.
SUPREME COURT SAYS TITLES ARE GOOD
UphoIds Validity of DELINQUENCY Certificates
Issued, Notwithstanding Irregularities

The supreme court of this state re-
versing the lower court, has upheld the
validity of Il delinquency certificate is
sued on property the owners of which
had neglected to pay taxes, and this not
withstanding several minor irrcgulari-
ties in the issuance OF the certificate.
In so doing the supreme court has laid
down the broad principle that so long
as the land has been charged with no
more than its just share of the public
tax, and the state has aivCn the owners
Of the land heir day in court, with
power to dispute every question going
to the right and power of the state to
charge the property with the tax, the
tax ought not to be declared void
merely because some ministerial officer
ha, omitted to perform some statutory
duty.
The principle seems sound and emf
nently just. The great majority of the
people pay their taxes without seeking
some technical loophoe Of escape. For
all property which escapes taxation,
through tcchnicalties, the remaining
property of the community is compelled
to assume the additional burden The
state must have its necessary revenue.
If portion Of the property escapes this
year the loss must be made good by a
heavier levy hereafter The state LOSES
nothing. The property of the individual
taxpayers. who do pay their taxes,
must make good all Deficiencies from
the escape Of other property from taxa
| ton.
The property Of the individual is pro-
tected by constitutional limitations
/ from incquituble or unlawful taxation.
The constitutional limitations should
he all which the court, should consider,
when the question of the validity of Il
certain tax i, presented II the pro-
