Letters me !" Editor
ADVOCATES SOCIALISM.
Maryville, ILL.,, Aug. 9TH, l9

Maryville, ILL.,, Aug. 9TH, 1905.
Editor News: | am socialist and
would like to say few words on socl-
alism Socialism is the only hope for
the laboring class. The hot air spout
ed forth in oratorical demonstrations
by Democratic and Republican leaders
has ceased to be swallowed by Social
lists. The present hot air stuff OF Nat
ional ownership of Railroads IS moth
ing but a neat scheme to delude the
workingman, who is not clear on soci-
alism, and cause them to vote the DEM
ocratic and Republican tickets, and II
those voters are deluded they will not
get the railroads. The hot air bomb
will explode Immediately after the
election, and blow into smlthereens
all the fine aircastles, which had been
built on the foundation of hope. Look
at Dunno, of Chicago He worked the
scheme of municipal ownership and
thereby drew the majority of socialist
vote to the republican parry. Well,
Dunno was elected, but the people are
no nearer municipal ownership than
they were before Dunno was elected,
whereas if they had stuck to the So
cialist party they would have had mu-
nicipal ownership. The Socialists are
declaring for wider ownership than
municipal They are declaring for a
National ownership of the wealth OF
the nation, and the tools of production,
thereby eliminating the master or own
er. Their men would be free. They
would be the owners of their own jobs,
and would not have to whine and beg
for a Job, which is the EXACT COST
OF LIVING OR EXISTING. What
matters it to the working class, If we
should get municipal ownership or
government ownership las prescribed
by Mr.. Bryan as long as we elect the
enemies to the working class to the
different offices of public trust, they,
in turn appointing their tools to run
the municipal, or Government rail-
roads, confscating to themselves the
profits, SO we had as we'll leave it in
the hands of the trusts as to give 1t
into the hands of the political grafters.
Either the Democratic or Republican
parties are the enemies of the working
class We elect year after year tools
of the capitalist class, either on the
Democratic or Republican ticket, to &c
to our National capital to enact laws,
as we have supposed in our interest,
but alas they only make laws in the
interest of their capitalistic masters.
Thus they make the laws, they exc
cute the laws, they pass judgement on
the laws, so my fellow workingman
where do we come in at2''-but any
thing to deceive the worker, but just
let strike be in effect then you will
see these bloodhounds committing
crime by the wholesale, pretty officers
| to follow such diabolical methods) and
| they do so in the name of the law.
Are they your friends or not2 Yet
they are the scoundrels you support on
the old party tickets. Either Demo
Gratis or Republicans do the same but
the Socialists would refuse.
Yours for right, ~

sra most unusual sight, hut one
which, according to an official of

rooms grow most freely in the

A small garden similar to tina
near Grand Rapids, is cultivated i

the only places in the world wher
abandoned mines are successful
utilized for the purpose.

STUDENTS ON ROSTRUM
TRIAL MARRIAGES THEME OF
SPIRITED DEBATE.

THAT trial marriage should be put into
full practice in the United States" was
the subject of the second public debate of
the students Of the National University
Law School held last evening in the school
building on 18th street northwest The
speakers were Messrs. Anderson, Marshall
and Finch for the affirmative, and Messrs
McMorris. Hunt and Orion represented the
negative. The debate was a spirited one
Messrs. YouEgblood, Given and Baker acted
as the judges, and at the close of the de-
bate awarded the first honor to Mr. An
derson and the second to Mr.. Marshall
both of the affirmative side. The speech
OF MIR. McMorris for the negative. and
which was met by his opponents, was in
part as follows:
This is a question of the highest and
most vital Importance to the human race,
one that cannot be considered too con-
servatively 1t is one that has been con-
sidered and decided by myriads of the in
Eabitants of this universe who have pre-
ceeded US. 1t is the question of marriage
an institution necessarily created by the
evolution of the growth of good morals.
by virtue of this custom. 1t is repusnant to
the nature of the institution for any radical
change to be made therein.
Contrary to Public Policy.
Trial marriages should not be put in
full practice in this country for the reasons
that they are unnecessary, impractical and
immoral and contrary to public policy.
Trial marriages strike at the foundation of
the home and tear asunder all of the
sacredness of the marriage tie. They will
reduce human beings to the level of brutes
The sanctity of the home is preserved
through the purity of marriage, and when
the home TIES are loosened. as must neces.
sarily be the result of trial marriages. men
and women will cease to regard a worthy
family life, with its obligations, as the life
worth living, and the unhappy and evil
days win await the citizen of the later
generation.
