Why He Lost His Friends.

He was always wounding their feel
ings. making sarcastic or funny re-
marks at their expense.
He was cold and reserved In MS
manner, cranky, gloomy, pessimisuc.
He was suspicious OF everybody.
He never threw the doors OF his
heart wide open to people, or TOOK
them into his confidence.
He was always ready to receive as
sistance from them, but always too
busy or too stingy TO assist them In
their time OF need.
He regarded friendship as a luxury
to be enjoyed. instead OF an oppor-
tunity for service
He never learned that implicit, gen.
erous trust is the very foundation
store OF friendship.
He never thought 1t worth Wilde to
spend time in keeping up his friend
ships.
He did not realize that friendship
will not thrive on sentiment alone;
that there must be service 10 noursh

He did not know the value OF
thoughtfulness In little things.
He borrowed money from them.
He was not loyal TO them.

OF what Is Socialism.

What is its object?
How would you contrast 1t with an
archy?
I'll endeavor to answer what | ask
ed Of you, for many have a wrong I'm
preston as to Social Democracy or
Socialism.
Professionalism politically, is a
party comprised mostly OF the work
ers OF this country and every coun-
try, demanding equal rights with the
millionaire, the manufacturer and
the politician, giving one and all
equal justice I'm every sense, both In
their labors and fellowship In other
words, placing everyone on an equal
footing and doing away with class
and class interests. Lincoln was a
good man and he 1t was. who in one
OF his speeches, recommended So
cialism. May we have a government

the people.

AS IL takes too much OF your time |
shall not endeavor TO define these
but have the people look into their en-
cyclopedias for reference.
II is what majority OF the people
want. but would they vote for It? No.
never. Why? Well, they are afraid
OF the honest Socialist who does not
go around looking for election funds.

by which they destroy and prevent

DRY COUNTIES
 IN STATE FIGHT
Will be Invaded by Anti Saloon Forces For a State
 wide Prohibition Fight.

Magnolia, Ark. Sept. 30. The counties of Arkansas which are already dry" are to be invaded by the anti saloon forces in a movement to prepare for a state wide prohibition fight. Columbia county will be the first to be so organized. The league, which was formed here Sunday night under the lead of Rev. G. w. Eichelberger. will extend the work by townships.

 The objec; of organizing in the dry counties is to bring out a full vote in behalf of state wide pro- hibition in case the legislature passes a bill whereby the ques, tion will be submitted to the peo- pie in a special election.
