market for the sale of the product
of his labor. They are both ex-
plotted by the same means
through their labor power. The
capitalists leave them just enough
wealth to enable them to live and
work and raise children for the
future slave market.
The labor fakir is the greatest
of all fakirs. He is also the most
numerous. You find him in near
ly every labor organization. One
kind of labor fakir wants the
unions To stay out of politics and
fight a political battle on the in
dustrial field; another kind wants
the unions to SO into politics-on
the tail of the democratic party
still another kind wants the unions
to go into politics for themselves
but they must not demand too
much. All three subservc the in
terests of the capitalist class and
delay the final triumph of the
working class.
One of the most persistently re-
hashed phrases in capitalist politi-
cal economy is the one about the
reward to capital and labor.
They do not mean this. They
mean the reward, not to capital,
but to the capitalist. Capital is
an inanimate thing, and as such it
can have no reward. Capital con-
sists of machinery. land, mate
rials, etc, and to say that a ma
chine. or a piece of ground, or
cotton in the field is entitled to a
reward is absurd. But capital,
from its being a much misunder-
stood term, and from its char
acter as an agent of production,
is a good word to conjure with,
and serves to obscure the real APP
propriating position of the capi-
talist.
In the same way the idea of a
reward to labor" is fallacious.
Labor itself is just as inanimate

Never has the Socialist prospect
been so bright in this country. We
enter the campaign this year with
the physical proportions, the men
tai equipment and the moral stam-
ina of full fledged national party.
Our comrades everywhere are
eager for the battle.
There is not a moment for bick-
ering or hairsplitting.
Croakers 10 the rear! Socialists
to the front!
Down with wage slavery! Up
with the working class
On with the class struggle
Hurrah for the social revolution
The following press dispatch
should be read by every worker
who is not a Socialist:
indianapolis, June 29.-lt was
decided at the meeting of the Re
publican state committee to con-
duct a Jolly" department as an
auxiliary of the Republican state
campaign. The men in charge of
this bureau will be the candidates
on the Republican state ticket,
nearly all of whom have enviable
regulations as jolliers.
The scheme is an interesting
one and if it works out in practice
as it is planned in theory political
committees in other states may cs-
tablish "jollying" adjuncts.
The plan. as outlined at the
meeting and agreed upon. pro-
vides that the state officials, who
largely compose the state ticket,
shall apportion the state among
themselves. Each man is to make
regular excursions into his partic-
ular district to Jolly the Republi-
can workers and see that the eS-
prit de corps of the party is kept
up in good shape. Speech-mak-
ing will not be essential, but each
candidate will be expected to car
ry a side-line of hot air that will
enable him to cheer and encourage
the party henchmen.
The Jolly" with hot air on the
side, is a powerful argument in
favor of the republican party and
wage slavery. Workingmen who
vote that way have been "jollied

The fimsiest argument against
Socialism becomes a strong one
in the mind of the man who does
not understand Socialism.
How many union men in Hell
ena know what sort of a settle
ment that committee made with
the employers association?
There is one Socialist argument
that the capitalist apologists have
never, to my knowledge, attempt
ed TO answer in a straightforward
manner. 1t is: "To the worker
belongs the product OF his toll
The capitalist press is fond OF
reciting that there are no classes
in this country, and then in the
next breath it condemns Social
lists for "arraying class against

Any man with ordinary intelli-
gence can by a little honest inves-
tigation become convinced that
Socialism is either right or wrong
but to get a firm grasp OH the eco
nomic principles which form the
foundation of our social structure
requires the profoundest study OF
lifetime. This is respectfully
dedicated to those wage-slaves OF
the daily press who know all
about everything.

This is how capitalism pre-
serves, inviolate. the sanctity of
the family and the sacredness IF
the home.
And if YOU want to know some
OF the results of capitaliStic meth
ods of family and hreside saliva
tion go to the redlight district and

The hypocrite who defends the
capitalist system of proht-gouging

feel concerned about the homes
and families OF the working class,

ment that the thirty pieces Of sill

roll from his pockets and accuse
him of the prostitution of his
trust.
Precisely what difference there
is between the republican and
democratic wings OF the capitalist
party may be seen in President
Roosevelt's appointment of Paul
Morton as secretary OF the navy.
Morton has been a lifelong al
legged democrat. but is admirably
fitted for a republican cabinet.
In 1888 Morton was general
passenger and ticket agent OF the

hremen went on strike. Morton
was the company'S press agent

THE PHILOSOPHER.

There's an old box-bordered garden
In the fields of memory,
Where the roses used to Chamber.
And a silver-maple tree
When the winds would softly touch it
With a kiss in passing by,
Turned its slver-siGed garments
With a whisper to the sky
There were holly presenting
In each graceful swayirg cup
Draughts of dew as clear as crystal
Till the sun should drink them up;
And a post stood in the garden,
Whence a heavy weighted chain
Reached the gate. SO VIXEN it opened
1t could pull 1t shut again.
Weighted gates are precaution
Used where little children are,
Weighted shut so that mere childhood
Cannot quite push them ajar:
So the chain kept us in bondage
Where the blue birds used to sing;
But We made Of it a pleasure,
And We used it for a swing.
And that lesson taught in childhood
Bore its fruit in later years:
Bounds obdurate Fate sets for Us
Soften not to sobs and tears.
But the very bonds that hold US
Hole a wealth of joy in store
For the seeker as the chain did
Where We swung in days of yore
