Bi:w NRE OF THE GIFT BEARERS
By John NJ. Work.

In the recent campaign the Socialist
Party mot sever" t,st and met IL
succ, ssfully.
With capitalist radicalism running
rampant, all other minor parties were
swept from the field
The independence party the prohibit
tion party and the peoples party are
all i'm tho hospital wounded unto
death.
But the Socialist party stood like a
stone wall.
II came out of the fight far stronger
than ~ went Ina.
II demonstrated that IL already
holds the balance of power i'm these
United States of America.
The democratic party can never
hope To win another victory 10y its own
strength. IL is doomed To- withcr and
die unless il can take on new birth
day by absorbing the Socialist party
Rest assured that the democratic
politicians are sagacious To recognize
that fact In numerous places dur
ing the coming four years the demo-
cratic politicians will come To the Soc
ialists with honryed words, proposing
an alliance in order To- secure the Of
ficps.
Re prepared for them.
And turn them down cold.
We want the Offices, but We don't
want 20 commit suicide To get them.
The democratic party would have
been dead before this II IL had not
given Itself new lease of life every
little while by swallowing some other
organization. such az the grange move
ment. the greenback party, the knights
of labor. and the populist party.
IL wrecked and ruined all of those
organizations.
1t would wreck and ruin us IL we
allied ourselves with IL. Wherever the
comrades are so weak and unwise as
to form such AN alliance, If there
shall be any such places. the Socialist
movement will be wrecked and the
painstaking work of building II up Will
have To be done all over again.
Any political organization which
stands for the continuation of the cap
Italist system of industry is our deadly
enemy. Whenever IL seeks an alliance
with us. IL does IL for the purpose Of
running dagger into our vitals.
Don't forget IL.
Don't be fooled by smooth words.
Turn them down cold.
The Socialist Party stands for no
comprimise.

FAREWELL SERMON.

\ large congregation filed Il e Z. es-
byterian church sunday evening to liz
ten to Rev Douglass farewell ,ermpD.
He took fer his subje,t the 18th chap
ter of lst Kings, reading and explain
ing the story of Elijah's supreme faith
i'm his God, and the worthlessness of
other gods; the test being made with
tine building of the altars and laying of
the sacrifices. The prayer of Elijah
was answered and his altar breathed
forth fire, while the other altar re-
manned the same.
His summary brought out the three
facts, that Gods religion will bear test
ing; that it is our duty to test that re-
ligion and that we should not test it
through or by his followers but 60 TO
the Fountain Head itself.
The many friends of Rev. Douglass
gave himself and wife affectionale fare

three act military comedy, "rhe Little
Savage" The play was a success in ev-
cry way, every person taking the part
assigned very nicely. But especially
well rendered was the parsonage Lord
Cecil Stanton Southerland, by Shirley
Owens. Shirley acted the part to per-
fection, keeping the audience i'm a
laughing mood. He was easily the
leading man. Pearl Smith as the
instigator of all trouble, Lady Agnes
Switzerland, Olive Goheen as Ruth
Churchill, George Blackford as Captain
Churchill, Carl Brown as Lieut.. Law
ton, Grace Danielson as George Sher-
wood, Ethel Martin as May Churchill,
and Ventry Hisey as John Woodruff
are to be complimented also on their
fine acting.
While the play was somewhat heavy,
there being many emotional parts, yet
our amateurs succeeded i'm doing justice
TO every act. A much larger audience
should have been present. About S35
was cleared.
