SSOGIALIoT LECTURE: JN0. N. WORK ENTERTAINEo 4 LARGE AUDIENCE AT CITY

Jno M Work. d distineuished Sc

Jno. M Work, d distineuished Sc cialist addressed a large audience at the city hall Friday night majority of this audience were avoWcd Social ists while others Were present to gain information concerning the ten cts of Socialism. and to hear the get tleman who short time ago was nominated by his party as candi- date for governor of Iowa.
 Mi Work is very pleasing. yet forceablo speaker and his efforts made good impression on those who heard him.
 In part Mr. Work said:
 "Political parties are run in the in. terast= =ef the men who pay their cam pai9n funds
 The Republican and Deml cratic parties get their campaign funds from tha capitalist class. They are run in the interest of the capitalist class
 'The Socialist party gets it's cam: paien funds from the dimes and quar- ters of the working masses. It is run in the interest of the working masses.
 Tariff tin'sering cannot harm the trusts. because they can do awav with international competition by makne the trusts international
 Antitrust laws are useless and re- actionary. If the big corporations are prevented from making open pools all they have to do to get around the antitrust law is to make secret pools
 Freight rate legislation is futile. Even if it lowered the freight rates, the trusts would simply put up thei. prices and rake in the extra dol lars.
 F|Fhere are more workers than jobs. The capitalists are therefore able to hire men for just enough wakes to afford them a bare subsistence. There is no remedy but Socialism.
 Labor saving machinery has im- ersely increased production. But the e; pitalists have reaped the benefit of the increases. because they own the thing shrdl psbrdlll Hralu taoin rdlH Industries. Socialism is the only remedy
 'sCapi-alism is killing itself It has ecnetatt!y crowded people into the working class until now the censns says that four-fifths of the gainfully CcuDiod males are wage workers, and # is of course to the interest to de- stl cv capitalism and introduce Social ism. in order that they may secure the full value of their labor
 1T is also to the interest of the average farmer to destroy capitalism and intrGduca Socialism. The trusts, tie landlords and tho loan companies pluck the farmer U1til he is little if any better off than wac worker

CHARLIE HoYT AND THE SKIP.
PER

George Broadhurst, the playwright,
who once (before fame got him) man
aged theater in Minneapolis, tells
this story Of the late Charles H. Hoyt,
another even more famous writer Of
farces:
For several summers he was accus-
toned to see a very swagger little
steam yacht ply by his place on the
New Hampshire coast. The more often
he saw it the more anxious he became
to lease it, but all efforts in that direc-
ton failed. -~..-.-,. ......z
Finally, when he had about given
up all hope, the skipper came to him
and offered to rent it, as the last lessee
had been obliged to forfeit his agree
ment. Mr.. Hoyt asked the price and
when he seemed to hesitate the skip
per informed him that he knew if Mr..
Hoyt didn It take it, he wouldn't get
another opportunity to rent 1t that sea-
| son, and as the coal was the greatest
| item. he would compromise, that is, if
Mr.. Hoyt rented it, he, the skipper,
would steal the coal.
The agreement was made forthwith.
All Went merry as q marriage bell.
When the season was over the skipper
sailed away In his yacht, after shaking
! hands with his patron and wishing him
all sorts Of good luck.
After The had gone Mr.. Hoyt made In
quiries and discovered that he had real
ly stolen every bit of coal that was
used--but he had stolen it all from Mr..
Hoyt's cellar. " =. ~.
