a RE-CONNERT.

Mrs. Florence Kelley is one of the
worked for twenty years or more for
socialism among trades unionists and
other classes OF men and women. She
used TO belong to the Socialist party,
but has not been a party member for
many years. Mrs. Kelley was present
at the mass meeting of the Christian
Socialist Fellowship, when Eugene "
Debs poke. She was there when
everybody else on the program spoke;
but when she heard his wonderful
plea for the woman who is not
fallen but knocked down; for his
sisters who are forced by cruel and
heartl"ss system to sell their honor
for a living, when she heard him de-
clare, IN voice broken with emotion.
that he honors these sisters of his
and places his arm about them. and
takes his stand by their side. Mrs
Kelley could not hear more.
Her face was flushed. and saw
the tcars she wouldn't let come TO her
eyes, as she exclaimed: II am
ashamed to be out OF the party that
has a man like that at its head !.

him tomorrow Rose Pastor Stokes

Through Contract System.

The woman bid to keep the poor at
81 a week apiece. She got the con-
tract because IL was CHEAP. Think
Of supporting a human being on four
dollars a week in Montana. Ten dol
lasr a week should be the least. Why
do these commissioners allow such
barbarisms? Because the attempt Is
to run the government cheap so that
the rich fellows won't have to
dig up in taxes. The Hirschbergs.
Leaches. and others can afford to pay
large sums for public comfort. Under
a Just system they would be taxed
progressively according To their in

be maintained in comfort. But
profits are more than human life in
Teton county. For shame on such "A

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN ENGLAND.

The dispatches last week gave but
an intimation of the tremendous DEM
onstration of the suffragcttes in Lon
don June 80. Five thousand police
men were used to protect the precincts
of Westminster where parliament was
in session, there was fleet of police
boats on the Thames. and many
mounted men in the streets. 1t was
the largest demonstration seen in
parliament square in the memory of
living person. There was noting vio-
lent in the demonstration but it was
persistent and strange as il may seem
there was no serious accidents.
The demonstration was due 10 the
fact that Premier Asquith had said
the women of England had not shown
any intense desire for the suffrage.
Previous to the gathering some of
the leaders met and they sent a COM
mittee of twelve TO call IN the pre-
mier. Hee refused 10 meet the COM
mittee and told it's chairman to put
their demands in whiting. Then the
committee returned to the hall and
reported. one of the speakers said
the hour had come for women to show
their strength. and convince the pre-
mier. She said that in 1897 the wo-
men had presented parliament the
greatest petition that body had ever
known, July Is of this year they had
held the largest public meeting ever
seen In Londin and June 21 they had
organized the most impressive demon
stration that ever appealed to any
people or any government. She con-
cluded by saying they would produce
another record and the women did It.
They went to Parliament square.

have been a violation of the law and
would have subjected those partici-

months. In small parties they sailed

already gathering. A witness of the
scene says the crowd grew as II by

WAR WITH VENEZUELA MAY BE
ANERTED.

Late dispatches state that the inter
ference by Dutch Socialists will pre-
vent declaration of war against
Venezuela by the Netherlands. IL is
possible that as result of the hue
and cry being raised by the Socialists
against Wilheumina's stand, there will
be no bombardment of the Venezuela
ports of LsGuayra and Porto Cabello.
The attitude of the Socialists is that
the threatened war will furnish an ad-
ditional expense to be borne by the
common people.

The heartless brutality that this sys-
TEN OF selfish individualism has en-
gendered is nowhere more evident
than in the shameful neglect given by
capitalist governments TO the unfor-
tunate members of society. Our jails,
penitensiarics,. reform schools. insane
asylums. poor houses and public hos
pitals are scenes of filth, cruelty and
graft impossible to describe. Graft.
private profit. is the keynote to the
administration of all these institutions.
Under the push of this devouring
greed there is an Indifference to hu-
man life and comfort unrivalled under
the worst scenes of Russian and
feudal brutality.
A revolving instance of this malad-
ministration of justice, humanity and
christianity has come to light in the
inhuman methods the Teton county
officials have employed in caring for
the poor and helpless The case that
first attracted public attention to the
awful conditions prevailing was that
of an old man by the name of Mckee.
The old man was sick and friendless
and unable to work from "a broken leg
that had never healed. on an old
friend going to see him he was found
bedfast, no care whatever being taken
OF him. His underclothes had not
been changed for two months. There
were no sheets or pillow cases and the
blankets and bedding had not been
changed since January, some three or
four months. They were saturated
and foul with the corruption from
his running sores. lie had never
been given a bath; his wound was
never dressed except what casual care
the county doctor bestowed. the stencil
and the filth were something awful
fering. and was left alone to beat his
head against the iron bars of his bed
in his agony. He would get his head
through the bars and beat IL till the
flesh was bruised and raw. His arms
were raw TO the elbows from these
beatings The food was vile and In
adequate for sick persons. His
friends were Mortified at his plight.
and appealed TO the county commits
sioners and the county physician.
But they seemed indifferent. He was
only a creature who had lost the
ability to make profits.
When the old man died from suf-
fering and neglect he was jumbled
into rough box and buried as he
was, and no word sent to his friends
The woman beast who permitted such
disgraceful doings charged $50 for
the burial.
An Investigation has been COM
menced. and the body is to be taken
up and its method of burial examined.
Action VIII then be taken against the
culpable county commissioners.
What is the reason for this dis
gusting inhumanity? The poor are
farmed out on the contract system.

PERPETUAL PROPAGANDA PATH.
WAY OF PROLETARIAT

! believe in the efficiency of the social
list press as a propaganda.
The distribution of socialist litera-
ture which has resulted in giving
thousands an insight into the princi-
plies OF the sciences has accomplished
much.
Socialist speeches have done much
in attracting the attention OF non-so-
cialists, but when not accompanied or
followed by other work. has often
been almost barren of results.
1t has seemed to me, and I have
heard many others express the same
opinion, that socialist speakers as a
rule make their addresses too lengthy.
Arthur NJ. Lewis in his pamphlet on
The Art OF Lecturing." says that this
is a prevalent mistake with all lectur-
ers. In this way the effect of a splen-
did lecture is often lessened by tir-
ing out an audience, especially those
who come to the lecture not in SYM
pathy with the subject of the lecturer.
OF course the ability to hold and in
terest an audience depends very much
upon the speaker. He should study
his audience and know when to bring
his lecture to a close.
One person may be able to do one
kind of propaganda work better than
another. Some OF our best speakers
are poor personal workers and organ
iZers. and wise versa. One should take
up the line for which he is best
adapted Any one can distribute lit
than others as to the kind of litera-
ture that would interest different
classes of readers. and some have a
better faculty than others of inducing
non-socialsts to read our literature.
one comradc said to me: II am no
speaker. ! cannot write. ] am a
turc and get people to read IL and /
can get subscriptions for socialist pa
pers."
Almost any one can make a success
of some kind of propaganda work,
and If each would do his or her part
wonders would be accomplished. For
my part | am unwilling for events to
take their courscc without making
some effort To hasten the Inevitable
trend of the times toward the ad-
vent of socialism.
Thousands OF men and women are
out OF employment. Thousands of
men, women and children go hungry
and are in want of thee neccssaries of
lire, Some have already starved to
death. Many have committed sui
eide To escape boggary, paupcrlsm or
crime. Thousands OF women and
children are wearing out their lives
with long hours of toll under unsani-
tary conditions for a mere pittancc.
Shall we stand Idly by, pickering
over our petty differences Of opinion
and do nothing To assist i'm bringing
Working men, and women of the world
unite. You have onothing to lose but
your chains. You have a world to
gain. Let each comrade do his or
her part In pushing forward the work
and victory shall crown our efforts.
