Elaborate preparations TO take part

IndustriaI Indapendenes.

Duluth News Tribune: One of the
most sensible Of recent articles on
socialism Is in the current North
American Review, and comes from the
pen of a minister. Most writer's and
nearly all public men, who discuss this
subject from the non sympathetic or
anti point of view, confound socialism
with communism or collectivism.
This writer says: Socialists do
not itch to day hands upon other peo-
pies property, or to reduce everybody
to a dead level of pay. They wish
to be sure of work, and they hope for
such an organization Of industry in
the future that their children may be
sure of work.
They do not ask to be supported
by any ones labor except their own.
or to have their children supported
by any ones labor except their own.
They want, what most men want,
working and living conditions favor
able to good health, opportunities for
their children, room for culture, lels-
ure for the enjoyment of music, art
nature"
Socialism, he calls a new form of
individualism, and the present pro-
gressive movement in legislation the
liquidation of privilege" This is a
fair and reasonable premise for his
argument as to how to meet this poll
tical or economic creed. which he
would do by forestalling it and bring
ing to labor what 1t wants and should
have.
Socialism interprets an economic
condition: but its remedy is not the
only cure. 1t does not mean confs.
cation, but rather enforced content
ment, with reasonable return for ac
tual effort and accompIishment.
This age is indebted mainly to
socialism for the spread of education
in economics, and this has been its
greatest service. 1t has forced public
men. business men, the leaders in en-
terprise and industry, the professional
man and educator to inform them.

1t has done this by systematic
propaganda among the wage earners

and those representing them, have

narrowing associations and, with the

FARGO UNIONS TO
MAKE Big Showing
OFFICIALS OF EVERY BRANCH
OF THE FARGO TRADES AND
LABOR ASSEMBLY BUSY IN
URGING BIG TURN OUT ON LA
Dor DAY FOR GREAT PARADE.

That the labering men appreciate
fully the Importance of their national!
holiday in Fargo this year, is evil
denced by the activity OF the officials
in the various unions comprising the
Trades and Labor Assembly in urg-
ing the biggest turnout for the parade
in the history OF the city. 1t is. not
often that the assembly has so inn
portant a guest as the nations ex-
president and the unions want to
make the day complete in all its de-
tails. AS 1t was through the instru-
mentality of organized lab-f that
Colonel Roosevelt was booked to
speak in Fargo on Sept. 5, 1t is felt by
the officers OF the assembly that every
laboring man and woman identified
with a labor organization, should
make it their paramount duty 60 pa
rade on that day.
Several of the city's labor leaders
have expressed themselves in regard
to this matter and 1t is the general
feeling that all should participate in
the pageant. 1t will probably be the
only time in the history Of the city
that such an opportunity will ever
present itself. For almost twelve
years Mr. Cleveland was the only liv-
ing ex-president. and he died just be-
fore Mr.. Roosevelt passed out of of
flee. During his retirement he made
only one big trip, and that was to Chi
cago. What future trips Mr.. Roose-
welt will make can not be foretold,
but it is certain that the country is
too big for him to visit Fargo fire.
quently. Therefore the off1cers Of the
assembly want every union man to do
his duty and be on hand for the big
parade.

in the schools and glowing into
healthy men and women through play
in the open air.
Child labor is an unmitigated curse
to the working class of this and every
other country. 1t not only robs the
children Of their childhood, but it
spells greater misery and degradation
to all who toll.
There are now a large number of
occupations in which child can do
almost as much in a day as a man.
And the child is employed in prefer
ence to the man, because he can be
secured for considerably less money
and only for this reason.

Missouri Executive Wants Law to
Compensate Worknan.

A law similar to the one passed In
New York for compensating work
ingmen for injuries sustained while
doing their work will probably be
adopted in Missouri at the next ses-
sion Of the state legislature. Govern
or Hadley, in conference with John
Mitchell, has pronounced himself in
favor of such law and promised to
lend his influence and support for 1t
in short time. He says that such

would make for less litigation and
