WHAT is THE MATTER WITH
THE SOCIALIST PARTY7

The following article taken from

S p. magazine. but Ike all the rest

the awakening going on in the party.
Socialism, the proletarian revolt
against the ruling class, was never so
much alive as today The ruthless
march Of organized capital is daily
recruiting the prolctaTiat with new
wage workers and making rebels out
of both the old and new proletarians
by grinding down wages TO the point
OF bare subsistence As a consequence
the laboTerS are becoming more rev.
olutionary than ever before. All over
the world the ruling classes are busy
deviSlng measures TO stem the rising
tide. Here in the United States the
conspiracy of silence is broken and
Socialism Is being discussed from pul-
pit. press and platform. Our own
correspondence from all over the
United States Is day by day more op-
timistlc. showing an ever-growing Gu
thusiasm for our proletarian propa.
sanda.
Meanwhile the Socialist party as an
organization has failed TO make
corresponding growth Its vote in
1908 was but slightly larger than In
1904. II has during the last FIVE
years enrolled probably over 10000
members. including those who held
membership cards in 1904. but the
present total membership as shown
by the monthly dues is about $1,000.
and the number who took the trouble
to attend meetings ana vote on a
recent referendum was only about
$500 The action taken at this refer
endum was surprise. Two decided

adopted. One was to drop from our

"DOWN WITH DIRECT LEGlS-
LATlON."

This is not the cry OF the privileged
corporations and corrupt politicians.
but IL expresses what they want. They
are rapidly getting wise to" the tre-
mendous menace of direct legislation
to special interests. With the initia
tive to propose laws that corrupt leg.
islators would pigeonholc, with the
referendum to veto laws that corrupt
Legislators pass. and with the recall
to impcach and remove corrupt admin
istratiye and legislative officials. the
people possess a power that tends TO
secure popular government by the
very fact that the power exists. O0l-
cials are more prudent when they are
subject to summary recall, and legiS-
lators are more thoughtful when they
may be directly commanded or over
ruled by their constituents. This Is
one of the most wholesome effects or
direct legislation. And the rascals
are finding it out. Consequently they
are not only doing all they can to pre-.
vent Its further adoption. but are re-
sorting to all sorts Of farces TO abolish
1t where IL has been adopted.

Connecticut has nineteen, and the

Maine has forty-siX, and no saloon.
Rhode Island has 10000 more faml-

Connecticut has $4,000: Massachu-
setts $4,000; Maine has only 1900.

Rhode Island has 266 900 less than

Connecticut has twenty-nine per

New York has ten and one-half

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

There is no doubt but that the right
to prohibit the sale OF Intoxicating
liquors for drinking purposes viii, in
the future, be largely based on the
harm they bring to the people who
never drink them. For the liquor
traffic is an assault upon the non.
drinker. This claim, always virtu-
ally put forth by temperance people
needs the emphasis of constant relter-
alton. We hold that il is the harm
that drinking does to the man who
does not drink which gives the non
drinker the right TO prevent the drink
or from doing him that harm Pro
hibition is self.protection. and IS
based on the elementary rights OF
civilized man F z. w.
