THE COMING PEOPLE.

Outward changes, economical and
political, more or less marked, are
always going on in the forms and or
CARNATIONS Of society. But to-day one
can make specially strong argument
that great and radical changes are i'm
pending. No one can believe that
existing conditions will continue in a
world where all things move and
change. Waste, extravaganza, political
corruption, fierce mercantile rivalries,

We believe that the Patriotic Slogan
Of the Whole People of this Nation
should be EVERY Child in Garden
Every Mother in Homecroft-and In
dividual Industrial Independence for
Every Worker in Home of his Own
on the Land" and that until he owns
such Home, the concentrated purpose
and chief inspiration to labor in the life
of every wage worker should be his
determination to Get an Acre AMI
Live on It."
We believe that the Slums and
Tenements and Congested Centers of
population in the Cities are savagely
deteriorating social, moral and polit-
ical influence, and that great public
movement should be organized, and
the whole power Of the nation and
the states exerted for the betterment
Of all the conditions of Rural Life, and
to create and upbuild Centers Of So
cial and Civic Life in Country and
Suburban Towns and Villages, where
Trade and Industry can be so firmly
anchored that they cannot be drawn
into the Commercial Maelstrom that
is now steadily sucking Industry and
Humanity into the Vortex Of the
Great Cities.
We believe that every Citizen in
this Country has an inherent and
Fundamental Right to an Education
which will train him to Earn Liv-
ing, and, If need be, to get his living
straight from Mother Earth; and that
he has the same right to the Opportun-
ity to have the Work to Do which will
afford him that living, and to earn not
only c cor Portable livelihood, but
enough more to enable him to be q
Homecrofter and to have Home Of
