the growth of Socialism, the boss will
now take some of his good money
next to his life, to him the most
precious thing in the world and hire
others to fight Socialism and Social
lists.
He will hire others to lie about you,
comrade. He will hire preachers to
curse you. He will hire college pro-
fessors to befuddle you. He will hire
soldiers TO shoot you. He will hire
policemen to club you. He will hire

ors to betray you. lie will hire judges

And you will lick him and his whole

digs his own grave, and by fighting So
cialism ne hastens his own funeral.
No flowers. The boss is Il fool-if
he does not know enough 10 make"
money.
There are, however, two important
things we must attend to ourselves.
comrade. The boss will not do them
for us. We must get the Socialist
voters TO become members Of the So
cialist party. And We must maintain
the Socialist press by getting sub
scribers to the Socialist papers.
Big Bill Haywood knows the
Beast Capitalism, and he always goes
armed He carries two guns-one in
each hip pocket. One is a card of
membership in his trade union. and
the other is his card of membership
in the Socialist party. Those are the
proper weapons for a working man.
But 1t is not enough for you and to
have those weapons, cOmrade. We
want the whole working class to be
armed likewise. We must carry a
little extra ammunition for our arms
So be sure you always have in your
pocket afew application blanks to
present to those Socialist voters who
have not yet Joined the party. We
need them and their service and their
comradeship. Also be sure that you
never overlook an opportunity TO get
a subscriber to Socialist paper.
The Socialist press and the Socialist
organization-they are the forces
that are going to bring 1t to pass that
we shall have Socialism i'm our time"
And the boss will help As / said,
the boss is a fool More power to his
crooked elbow.

SOME OLD FRIENDS

You can't change human nature"
oh, yes you can. Human nature,
like every other product, is the result
of its environment. AS the environ
ment has changed through all the ages
human nature has changed. Change
to better environment and youll
have a better human nature
Socialism will break up the
home"
If broken homes show that a sys-
tenn should be repudiated il is time
that the present one should be repudi-
ated and Socialism given a trial.
Socialism will abolish religion"
Science is the only thing that can
abolish religion. and that began long
ago. while Socialism is not yet.
Socialism means that the worthy
man shall divide up his wealth with
the lazy and thriftless. "a la Roose-
Welt.
That is exactly the program now:
the useful worker divides all he pro-
duces with the rich loafer. Under
Socialism the loafer would never get
the product i'm the first place He
would do his share of work or starve.
Socialism would destroy private
prope rty."
Only i'm the means of production
the enormous great machines. Ii
would establish and provide private
property for everyone who produced
tin the things needed for the COM
fort and pleasure of life.
Under Socialism we would own all
things in common
Not your tooth brush or your gloves
or your hat or your violin, or anything
that filled a pleasure or necessity by
its personal nature. The great in
dustries to be sure would be owned in
common that all might be benefited
by their use.
"All individuality would be des-
troyed."
All individuality is destroyed today
for the mass. See how much alike
the farmers are, or the factory work
ers-in fact, the great mass Of work.
| ers eV Verywhere. They have never had
a chance to develop their individual
faculties. Socialism by systematizing
industry would give leisure for all TO
develop their individual abilities to
the utmost.
Socialism believes in free love-"
No love that is bonded and enslaved
is fit blossom of the human heart.
| Under economic freedom you could
never be anything else but free and
spontaneous. but that does not mean
! to be loose. IL is the free lust of
capitalism that fills the soul with hor-
/ ror
Mothers will not have charge of
| their own children"
Unfortunately that is the condition
\ that prevails in caDitalist socipty to-
| day. Mothers are forced to go to
| work and leave their children to be
brought up by strangers: or they are
overworked i'm their homes and the
children run the streets. The women
OF wealth and fashion leave their
children to the care OF others entirely
while they pass their lives I'm the gay
whirl OF display. Under Socialism
motherhood would have a chance to
| perform its natural functions.

upon the existence of the lowest forms of life

Mr. Waaces estimate of the total length of geological
time, and they will sufficiently long for all
sary purposes.
Dana estimates the ratio for the Paleozoic, Meso.
zoic and Cenozoic periods to be 12 g. IL that is Ceno
zoic times (the time since the beginning of the ter
tiary period is onesixteenth of the whole about
100000 years; Mesozoic time (the age of the prev
aence of repiles) would be about threesixeenths of

would be about threefourhs Of the me that u.s. about
100000 years
If, however, should be compelled to accept the
calculations of Prof Newcomb these would have to
be reduced more than one-half.
But the accommodating facts concerning the rapidity
of the action of geological forces to be
pointing toward these lower estimates end to make it
entirely credible that the earth has no. suitable
for the existence of for very many thousand years
The loose estimate in which hundreds of thousands of
years are assigned to the existence of the human

to light.
