Comrades of America, do you want
to get in position to demand the un-
conditional and immediate surrender
of the beleaguted remnant OF teh hosts
of capitalism?
II so, there is but one way to get in
that position. 1t is the way that was
adopted by General Grant.
We must surround the enemy.
We must draw our lines ever closer
and closer.
We must fortify here.
We must encroach there.
We must strengthen everywhere.
In short. we must organize. The
secret of success is summed up in the

mand and receive the unconditional
and immediate surrender of the enc

ident. the congress and most of the
local officials.
There is no other way whatsoever.
An invincible organization is the
thing, and the only thing, that will
bring us victory.
We have made a mighty good start
We have doubled our organization in
n short period of time. But we can
accelerate the pace IL we try. There
is all manner of material for us to
work on. 1t is waiting for us. 1t is
waiting for us TO come and mold 1t
into force.
Shall we do it?
OF course we shall.
We can begin to participate in the
political affairs of the nation when
ever we want to. IL we have the
energy and the enthusiasm and the
self-sacrificc, we can elect some con-
gressmen in 1910. IL we have the
necessary amount of resolute vigor
and bold initiative, we can carry the
country in very few years and plant
our banner upon the national capitol.
We will do that whenever We have
half a million aggressive members.
And we will begin to reap the re-
suits long before we reach the goal.
The present election has removed
some OF the worst obstacles to our
success.
There never has been time
when the expenditure OF time. energy
or mony for the cause would bring
such swift and satisfactory returns as
right now.
Forward is the word!

finally voted upon.
The establishment Of miners exam
lining boards in all the states is the
purpose of one of the most discussed
resolutions.
President John Walker, Of Illinois.
said that the definition of a miner
was one who worked at the face OF a
mine, and that this should be borne
in mind in framing a bill to establish
an examining board IL union miners
were to obtain full benefit from the
reform. Mr.. Walker was Of opinion
that the state boards examining can
didates and issuing certificates to
competent miners would necessarily
be composed OF union miners, and
therefore would be able to exercise a
strong influence to the advantage of
the United Mine Workers of America
in strikes.
The convention also demanded the
repeal of the laws authorizing the
present state police.
A statement was given out by
President Lewis's friends that the
count OF ballots had proceeded far
enough to show that Lewis's majority
over John Walker would be from
5000 to 10000.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 3O.-For the
first time in the history of the organ

America, at its convention yesterday,
passed a resolution unanimously de-
claring for the public ownership of

incomes, the men who through their
invested capital have a suction pump
Golfers the lions share of the value of
the labor of the rest of the people,
these men are rolling in the wealth
which they did not earn.
We find, then, that the reason why
not all people have enough to eat or
possess the comforts and higher privi-
leges of life. is, not because there
is not enough in existence to supply
all-for there is an abundance but
because the few possess the good
things and the many cannot get them.
In this country there has never
been time when there was not
enough of the necessities of life in
existence for all. 1t is also true that
for several decades after this nation
came into being, practically no one in
the whole country was in want for the
necessaries of life.
At that time there was a wide do
main of idle land. When a man could
not get employment working for
someone else, the idle land was close
by and the tools necessary to till 1t
were simple and inexpensive. So he
could go out on the land and work for
himself. The land seemed mex
haustible. The people pre-empted
vast empires. The government gave
away other vast empires, with prod
igal and unrighteous hand. to the
railroads. The population increased
enormously. The land was steadily
taken up, until IL is now practically
all gone. No sooner had II begun TO
show signs OF exhaustion than ex-
treme poverty and even starvation be-
gan to make their appearance. The
matter has gone on from bad to
worse until now there are a lot of
men out of employment and millions
of the people suffer constantly from
lack of a sufficient quantity of the
bare necessities of life. There is no
way to create more land. And IL we
could do so, IL would no longer act as
an escape. for II now requires a good
ly amount of money TO get out on the
land. on account of the completely
and expensiveness of modern agricul-
tural machinery. Furthermore. even
II we could create more land and even
IL the unemployed had the money to
take advantage of it, it would still be
merely an escape from starvation, not
from exploitation.
What we need is the collective own
ershlp and operation Of the exploit
ing industries. In other words, for
the whole people TO own those indus
tries which they have to use in order
to get their living.
Then. IL there are not Jobs enogh TO
go around, we can merely shorten the
hours OF labor and make all the jobs
that are needed.
And we can pay ourselves the full
value of the product, instead of let
ting few capitalists gouge us out
OF most OF us as we do now.
That will be Socialism.
