ling and faltering steps toward that

Cling and faltering steps toward that
goal
4. A practical political movement,
worldwide in its scope, embracing
men and women of every race and
every creed under the sun. which has
for its aim the peaceful attainment
of the goal thus briefly sketched. We
do not know, nor have we ever pre-
tended TO know, all the steps which
must be taken to attain the desired
end. We believe that the next great
step is to set fresh boundaries to pri-
vate property; to make 1t fundamen-
tai law of our civilization that while
every man and woman ought to own
and control the things essential to life
for themselves, so that none need
suffer want in a world teeming with
| fairness and plenty, no one ought to
own anything which makes, another's
| life dependent upon his or her wis
dom, will or caprice. We expect to
bring about Lhis result not all at once,
but gradually and peacefully, by or
ganizing the despoiled and disinherit-
ed, together with all who believe in
the business of their cause, into a po-
litical party; conquering the political
| powers of the state and making them
agencies for the development of the
new social order.
