or question that such result car,
not be accomplished under Or BY
capitalist politics for as long as the
| class struggle exists Individualism
Will only sanction such party prin-
ciples as best tend to perpetuate ana
fortify it. That is perhaps the great
est reason why labor's political
friends as candidates for office are
invariably unable when elected, to Sc
cure reforms or much of any legis-
lation favorable to labor where such
legislation does not happen to square
with vested" Or property rights"
Not only that but there are instances
when public servants, electd by the
vote Of labor, have violated their oath
of office in not carrying out the laws
of state when the question at issue
involved the rights of labor and tho
claims Of capitalists.
The ethics Of capitalism are the
sar:e the world. over.
The Taff"Vale decision against the
trammers in England has helped to
open the eyes Of labor there to the
necessity Of politics in the union
against which their conversative la
Dor leaders had always objected Just
as most Of our leaders here have
done.
It also taught them that the brand
OF politics must be Of a different
| order than that dictated by corporate
interests. That it must be working
class and not capitalist politics. To-
day the British parliament has in it's
makeup fifty-one militant socialists
and union men to defend its cause
We must do as our English brother:
have done and use intelligently those
greatest Of modern weapons, educa-
ton and the ballot. Study we'll your
political interests for it has a most
intimate bearing on your we'll being.
Debs has said, intellectual dark
ness is essential to Industrial slavery
Don't take your perception of So
cialism from those opposed to it any
more than you would take the advise
of a Parry or Post regarding union
ism. Study it yourself, read its plat
form and literature and if you can
then agree with the Encyclopedia
Britannica that the ethics of socialism
are Identical with the ethics Of chris
tianity walk to the polls on election
day anud vote not for a supposed
friend Of labor but for 'principle."

LESS OF THE RULE or GOLD;
MORE OF THE GOLDEN RULE

TO the Editor of the Labor World:
Taft says the issue is 1ndividualislra
versus Socialism,. Now If the above
statement is true and am inclined
to think 1t IS, then our course In
politics, IN order to remove complete
~ and forever the evils Of Individual
ism las they exist & today regarding
labor, must be by and through a party
that is Of labor and by labor alone.
: That party: is already here, being
today the third party of this nation.
Thanks to those who have already
done what we must now do, e.. use
our intelligence, remove the wells Of
mist and doubt and tear ourselves
loose from the old political anchorage
which we once considered our party.
If the present order is Individual
ism then we'll may it's supporters
shudder, for their future welfare II
there is world to come. =" -
Are those supreme court decisions
against labor for the purpose of per-
petuating Individualism?
Was 1t necessary and just that Ia
Dor should pay three hundred thous-
and dollars for the liberty Of an in
nocent man, William D. Haywood?
Why are children forced, into in
dustrial slavery by the hundreds of
thousands intead Of schools Are ex-
tsting conditions under Individualism
responsible for these?
Why do many, worthy millions
have to seek master, >>whO can or
will employ them only when profit
able to himself, in order that they may
evade starvation?,
The story of Hugo's Val Jean in his
Lies Miserables'' are being pictured
in the actual realization Of thousands
Of pathetic cases annually under our
boosted christianity.
Does. Individualism require that
thousands must forego the pleasures
and happiness Of life that one may
revel in luxury? Must all human eff
fort be subservient to property
rights? Must justice to the masses
be doled out according to the material
interests Of the few?
No, Mr.. Taft, your famous answer,
God knows" with its sympathy sauce
will not solve the problem. It only
solves this muc11-tl1at we the work,
ers must solve It If it is to be solved
at all. ~'

NO DANCING IN JAPAN

From the Milwaukee Sentinel: -
There is no music in Japan except
that made by the birds, the wind, the
running streams and the roaring wat
erfalls. The people have no music In
them; they do not sing Or even whistle
or play any musical In strufaent worthy
OF the name. They are not moved by
"the concord Of sweet Sounds" They
have a few rude Instruments, but the
sounds they give forth, are harsh, in
harmonious and altogether unr1lusical.
There us a dinner band at, the Grand
hotel, Yokohama, and, there was a
brass band at the imperial garden
party, the only bands I have: heard III
all Japan: Even at the geisha; dances.
the most popular in Japan, tbs music
Is primitive and discordant. And: the
dances are worse than the music. It Ii
not In any sense dan cling as we know
tt;sft Is simply series Of posturings;
accompanied by the flirting of fans,
flags or handkerchiefs, but lacking the
motion and inspiration that thrills and
fascinates in the merry. nazes of the
cotillorl2 and the waltz. The religious
dances are SLOW dienifled and impress
sive, but have none Of the life and in
toxitatton that gives interest ana charm
to the participants Or beholder.

THE INDUSTRIAL DEPRESSION.

AAAAI ANDO0IH1h1 DE1 I0EI0S1ON.
Two large reasons are urged for
regarding the Industrial depression
as at an end. One is the reported
fact that money is no longer tight,
and the other that business men
have adjusted their affairs to lower
levels of expenditure. Instead of
implying recovery from the depres-
sion, both facts indicate its persis-
tence and intensificatfon. The
tight money" Of last fall did in
deed spell hard times. But that
was because it crippled business
men in meeting obligations already
contracted. But "easy money" now
means no more than that the de-
mand for loans has shrunk, which
means in turn that business opera
lions are contracting. And this in
ference harmonizes with the infer
ence that in adjusting their opera
tions to lower levels of expenditure,
business men are promoting nard
times instead Of Kidding us of them.
They are thereby diminishing the
purchasing power Of the people as
a whole. The Public. ~ 4

ITS TRUE PARENT.

The boycott is but the child of
the blacklist. For many years,
even unto this day, employers ex-
plotted the blacklist on the wage
Garner to their hearts content, and
the wage Garner rarely resorted to

the boycott to offset the blacklist,

LABOR JUSTLY INDIGNANT.

The rights which recent court
decisions grant to labor are: The
right to be manned and killed
without liability to the employer;
the right to be discharged for be-
longing to union; the right to
work as many hours as employers
please and under any conditions
which they may impose. Labor is
justly indignant at the bestowal or
guaranteeing of these worthless and
academic rights by the courts,
which in the same breath deny and
forbid to the workers the practical
and necessary protection Of laws
which define and safeguard their
rights and liberties and the exer-
else of them individually or in as
ISOLATION.

BEDE COMING HOME.

1t is reported that Congressman
Bede of this district has become
alarmed by the letters and advices

decided to come home to keep a
watch on Clarence B. Miller, or
rather put up fences that will hold
Miller in check until the congress-
man is released from duty in the
house.

PECULIAR RIVERS OF CUBA.

From the New York Press:
ALI the rivers of Cuba that rise in
the north flow south, it is said, plung-
ing into underground passages a. few
miles from the sea, piercing the noun
tains, emerging at the south and flow
ing into the ocean. All the rivers that
rise in the south do just the reverse.
In the dry season these rivers are the
merest creeks-a 20 mile trip on the
Western. railroad Of Havana brings
one to the point of disappearance of
one of them, at the station of San
Antonio de Banos. But in the rainy
season they frequently get choked, like
sewers, flooding the countryside and
sometimes flowing over the edge Of the
island into the sea. ',,,. -

RESULT OF LOW WAGES.

1t is reported by missionaries re-
turning from India that the people
are confronting another famine.
There is no scarcity of food, but
labor receives such a small pittance
that labor cannot buy back the
surplus products which capitalism
has stored away in it's warehouses.
When the last famine took place in
India, the people of every nation

Rimmed with roses in the springtime,
heaped with fruitage in the fall;
Though We all were born a-growin -
though we're axle deep in doubt.
there is really very little for the

When you come to think about it
did your growlin' ever pay?
did it ever bend a rainbow-chase a
thunder cloud away?
Don't it deafen all the angels when

Don't they know that there's but lit
tie in the world to growl about?
When you come to think about it

An hive that's dripping honey for
