CAPITALISM MUST GO.

The capitalist will probably tell You
that the present system in society,
that is, capitalism, Is ordained by
God, that it always has and always
viii be here. but IL is not so-eyery-
thing undergoes constant change
nothing remains the same.
The capitalist comes into being,
grows to maturity, goes into decay
and passes away
In the days of the hand tools goods
were made for the individual use and
consumption; goods then did not be-
come commodities, because they were
made for the use of those in The COM
mune only
When the hand tool grew into the
machine, note the change again. The
individual laborer was dispossessed of
his tools The ownership of the la
borer's means of subsistence fell into
the hands OF the capitalist-then CAPT
talist production begins. Now We
have a number of workers working
side by side in the factory for the cap
italist; therefore the goods no longer
belong TO those who produce them,
but TO the capitalist who owns the ma
chine. The capitalist pays his labor.
ers in wages, and he takes the whole
OF the products over TO himself. Since
the capitalist cannot use the goods for
bis individual use, he looks for mar
Rets for these goods; the goods then
become commodities and are a social
product, because they are not made
for individual use and consumption.
The value of the goods are stamped
by the amount of social human labor
power that has been put into them.
Since the capitalist sells his goods at
their value. he derives his profits from
unpaid labor. The end and aim of
capitalist production is 10 make goods
for profit In order to do this the cap
italist has TO continually look for a
market In order TO find markets for
his commodities, capitalism infests
every nook and corner on the globe.
England sent her missionaries TO AT
Tica 10 teach the natives Christianity,
and then followed them up with can
non in order 10 get markets.
When competition grows too keen
the capitalists are forced TO combine
for their protection. which has formed
the trusts of today such as the beef,
oil and railroad combines, etc.
The trust eliminates all waste and
friction.
But here is where the anarchy in
production comes in. With capitalist
production we have the private owner,
ship OF the socially used means of
production In order TO stop this an
archy In production the people must
take possession Of those means which
are socially used-they must be So
cially owned also
In order to do this the working class
must organize on the industrial and
political fields and proclaim the So
cialist republic
Workers OF the world unite. You
have nothing to lose but your chains,
and world to gain

WHY WOMEN SHOULD BE
SOCIALISTS

a writer once wrote that If "women
of all nations would but use their in
iluence in behalf OF peace. wars would
cease" While agreeing with this SEN
timent in its entirety, yet / take the
liberty of altering the wording Slight
ly, and say that "if women of all ma
tions would adopt Socialist principles,
war would cease" And why? Well,
just because Socialists are avowedly
opponents of wars in any shape or
form.
The Socialists of all nations recog-
nize what is an undoubted fact
VIZ, that almost every war that has
taken place during the worlds history
has been fought not for the benefit of
humanity generally. but owing to the
fact that the rulers of two nations
have Quarreled and have sacrificed
the blood, the manhood and the
wealth of the nations to crafty their
own personal vanity. or have been
fought In the interests of the property

Reorganization of the department of
state upon modern lines in furtherance
of our foreign trade and of American
interests abroad is recommended.
Perhaps continues the message,
''the most important question present
ed to this administration is that of
economy in expenditures and suficiency
of revenue.
''The report of the secretary shows
that the ordinary expenditures for the
current fiscal year ending June 80,
1910. will exceed the receipts by $34,-
075.620. If to this deficit is added
the sum to be disbursed for the Pan
anna Canal, amounting to $3S,000,000
and 81 100000 to be paid on the public
debt, the deficit of ordinary receipts
and expenditures viii be increased to
total deficit of $73,075,620 This de-
felt the secretary proposes TO meet by
the proceeds of bonds issued to pay
the cost of constructing the Panama
Canal. I approve this proposal"
The President says the cost of en-
cineering and construction of the canal,
which will be completed January l.,
1915, will be 1927, 766, 000, instead of
$139, 705, 200, as originally estimated.
Other expenses increase the cost by
$75.433,000 to a total of 1915, POI, 900
The President is advised by the Sec
1etary of the treasury that the esti-
mates of the expenses IF the govern
ment for the fiscal year ending June
so, 19l1-that Is, for the next fiscal
wear. are less by 5.s63, 900 than the

burden upon those classes in the com
munity whose yearly compensation does
not expand with the improvement in
business and the general prosperity.
Verious reasons are given for the high
prices. The proportionate increase in
the output of gold, which today is the
chief medium of exchange and is in
some respects a measure of values, fur
nishes a substantial explanation Of at
least part of the increases in prices.
The increase in population and moro
expensive mode of living Of the people,
which have not been accompanied by
a proportionate increase in acreage pro-
duetion. may furnish further reason.
II is well TO note that the increase in
cosr Of living is not confined TO this
country. but prevails the world over
and that those who would charge in
creases in prices to the existing protect
ing tariff must meet the fact that the
rise in prices has taken place almost
wholly in those products of the factory
and farm in respect to which there has
been either no increase in the tariff
or in many instances a very consider
able reduction"

MRS. SCOTT EXPLAINS.

Honolulu, T. H., December II, 1909.
Editor Advertiser: I desire through
the medium of your valuable paper
TO correct an article which appeared in
the Star of the 4th inst, wherein
it was stated that some Hawaiians
had declared that I had buncoed them
out OF their house and lot, and that
made friends with them and then be
trayed their confidence. The facts of
the matter are4these:
G. W. Kualaku and Mele, his wife,
whom l have known for about four
teen years, were behind $l65.75 in
taxes on their property On the Asylum
road. The tax Office was going to
auction off the property on January so.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kualaku came to me in
January and asked that [ pay the
taxes on the property and take same
over with the understanding that the
Kualakus should be allowed to remain
on the premises during the lifetime
of the old man. They feared that If
the tax office auctioned the place off
they would be put out of house and
home On January IA, in the Office of
A. v Gear, Mr. and Mrs. Kualaku
decided me the property on the under
standing as above stated, and | paid
up the back taxes. They signed the
deed of their own free viii and thor
oughIy understood what they were
signing. They were glad that [ had
taken over the property as it assured
the old man residence during his
lifetime.
The article states that I offered to
repair their house and put it in such
condition that they could rent it for
a good fee, providing they would give
me mortgage on the premises as Sc
curity for the money loaned for re-
pairs. 1t also states that they be.
heved that the papers that they signed
in the office of A. v Gear Were Sc
curitv for 5000 which was to be paid
for the repairs, etc, and they after
wards found out that they had I'M
knowingly decided their property to
me. This is all made out of whole
cloth. The article alleges deliberate
fraud and states that the Kualakas
ask that the deed be Cancelled. Therein
lies the crux of the whole matter, as
/ viii take the liberty of explaining
right here.
Kukamanupuu, a nephew of the old
man, is at the bottom of the whole
trouble and is playing a very crafty
game at my expense. If the deed be
cancelled there is an arrangement be-
tween the Kualakus and Mr.. and Mrs.
Kukamanupuu, whereby the property
will be divided between the two par
ties named. / obtained this informa-
ton from Mrs. Kualaku who stated
that the Kuasananupuus were forcing
them to take action toward the can
ceiling of the deed. The agreement be-
tween the Kualakuss and the Knkama-
nupuus was drawn up by Joe Clark
and Henry Maui and signed by Mr..
and Mrs. Kualaku.
In justice to myself I trust that you
viii publish this explanation of an in
cident which has placed me in a bad
light through being wrongly accused
of fraud by scheming parties. Yours
very truly,
MRS. MARIA SCOTT.

100000 year. Congress, he says,
may well consider whether radical steps
should not be taken to reduce the deficit
by imposing a higher rate Of postage
on magazines and periodicals.
President Taft says he is convinced
the people desire postal savings banks
and that they will be productive of the
utmost good. He says of them:
''They will furnish satisfactory
substitute for the system of govern
ment guaranty of deposits, which, with
Difference to those who advocate it,
seems to me to have in it the seeds of
decentralization to conservative banking
and certain financial disaster.
The President earnestly recommended
the passage of a ship subsidy bin.
In recommending separate statehood
for New Mexico and Arizona, President
Taft advises that after the adoption
of a constitution. it be submitted to
the people for approval State officers
should not be elected until after the
constitution has been settled upon.

President. u recommend legislation

and which shall have legislative powers

ritory local laws adapted to its present
growth. / strongly depreeate legisla

Transfer of control over the light
houses to a suitable civilian bureau is
recommended because of frequent fric-

being that there is urgent necessity for

the President says, ''to forbid under

by the secretary Of commerce and labor
for the employment Of special inspec-
tors. If will be possible to bring those
responsible for this trade to iRdict-
ment and conviction under a federal
law
The President says that while the
medical departments Of the Army and
NAVY must be kept separate, there
/ seems no reason why all the other bu-
/ reaus and Offices in the general govern
which have to do with the public health
should not be united in a bureau to be
called the "Bureau Of Public Health. y
! Tn conclusion the President says:
'.Speaking generally, the country is
in high state Of prosperity. There is
every reason to believe that we are
/ on the exc of a substantial business
expansion and have Just gathered a
] harvest unexampled in the market value
! Of our agricultural products. The high
prices which such products bring mean
great prosperity for the farming com
munity, but, on the other hand, they
mean a very considerably increased
