NO CRIMINAL CLASS.

There is no. such thing as a GRIM,

ence to the so-oalled criminal class
makes the prosperous feel entirely too
comfortable, sitting at the club with

the feeling of responsibility from that
section of society where it properly
belongs and places it on heredity and
circumstances over which we have mo
control. =.

WHAT Is SOCIALISM?

We socialists are SO often asked
the question: What is socialism,"
I shall endeavor to answer the same
as explicit as could be done from the
workingman's point of view. Social
ism is the collective ownership of the
land, factories, mines, mills and for
ests, to be operated in the interest Of
all the people. Not that conditions
should prevail as they are carried out
today, where we have women and
children starving, yes I do say starv-
ing in West Duluth today. do not
mean in the past but in this the
year of our Lord 1908, and the month
of March, and, oh horror, that the fair
name of woman should be blightei,
and the little children crying for
m0rsels of bread, and clothing enough
to keep them warm, from the chilly
blasts Of the winters wind. In our
city, who can boast of so much wealth,
with churches here and there, with
their minions, who are at least sup.
posed to protect the weak And they
should revel in luxury, not knowing
the want of bread, and clothes, should
come before us and preach the word
OF goodfelloWship, it has no other
effect than to cause US to think, that
they are nothing less than the cring-
Ing towards, who dare not attack the
evils at their fountain head. If there
Is any one principle that socialism
sets forth, it is that it will protect
the weak and helpless from the avar-
ice and greed of the inhuman mons
ter who lives from the blighted and
immoral practices that are forced up
on women. And the heather blood
sucker who suckles the very life
blood of the little children, and coins
into dollars and cents the nerves and
muscles of our little infants, and vet
these same people who live by the
profit OF us men, women and our little
children are the decriers Of socialism.
Socialism makes the claim that man
under the socialist regime can pro-
duce enough and have enough to
spare in six hours Of labor, and that
woman's place will be the home, to
properly rear the children. The child'z
place will be to attend school in the
school season, and out Of school to
enjoy itself in it's childish way, upon
the earth, the child's natural play
ground. AS / am writing. this, the
pictures of hell raise before my eyes
as they were taught me when a child
could that hell ever be pictured as II
casts 1t ruddy glow over it's victims
than the one in which we are now
living, that tramps under feet, of the
profit monger and rakes into his COT
fers the dollars, reeking with the
crimes through which they pass, and
alleged with the weeps and walls OF
+ the helpless women, and more defense
less children.
Socialism does not condemn indi.
vidual members Of the society, but Il
does cond the collective force OF

his method Of living. The amount of
his savings is indicated to some ex-
tent by the money orders sent from
this country to Italy. The total
amount of money orders sent in 1906
to all countries was $62,435,34s, and
of this $S6,79s,562, or $50 per cent,
went to Italy and the Slavic countries.
The total amount of these money or
ders sent to Italy was $16,2s9,134,
while the amount sent to Austria
Hungary and Russia was $20,559,42S,
the number of natives of those coun-
tries in the United States being. about
double those from Italy. - =.
