by Peter Power.

That the socialist party of
America and it's allied branches is
very much alive to its opportunity
is shown by the national confer
ence being held in Chicago, be-
ginning May Is. Several hun
dred delegates, directly repre-
senting over $4,000 dues
paying members, and indi-
rectly over 100000 voters, are
called together for the purpose of
lperfecting their organization and
formulating plans to push. their
principles into every nook and
corner in the land.
The socialist convention is
notable in several respects. In
the first place, this gathering de-
velops the fact that the socialist
party is organized upon altogeth-
er different lines than the repub-
lican, democratic or prohibition
parties. The socialists have a
working organization, with an en-
rolled membership paying average
dues of 25 cents a month and spe-
cial assessments once or twice a
year, not to mention voluntary
that average as
much or more than the monthly
ldues.
In apportioning the delegates
among the several states the dues
paying membership, and not the
votes at the polls, serve as basis
lof computation. The railway
fares are paid to delegates from
the various states out of the ma
tional treasury This system also
applies to the federated foreign
speaking branches, such as the
organizations of Firms, Bohemi-
ans, Scandinavian, Italian, Jew
ish, Polish, Lettish, etc.
i! Another fact is that women
have the same rights and privi-
leges as men to be elected as dele
gates and have a voice and vote
on the convention floor. There
are at least a dozen members of
lthe gentler sex prominent in the
Eparty's councils.
Among them is Mia T. May
|nards a popular writer and speak
Ter of Denver, and Kate Richards

(By United Press Leased wire.p
KANSAS CITY, May 19.-The
excursion boat Uncle Sam, with
$50 passengers aboard, collided
with a sand barge late yesterday
afternoon and sank. Her gang
plank was thrown out and the pas
sengers rushed toward the shore.
Many of them were hurled into
the Missouri river. All the pas
sengers were saved.
The boat was just leaving her
pier for her afternoon trip down
the river. The collision threw her
against a pier and hig hole was
knocked in her side. Her pilot
headed her toward the shore and
the extended gangplank reached
almost to land.

fact that most people consider in
|explicable and truly unique in POI
litical affairs.
The all-absorbing. dominating
and paramount question facing
the socialists is to educate and or
ganize the people to an accept
ance OF their great cause, to over
throw the private ownership of
trusts and monopolles. and substi
tute public ownership. in which
the democracy, all the people in
stead of a few, will rule.

The dalai lamt, the deposed
ruler of Tibet, is still rusticating
at Darjeeling. India, to which place
he fled when the Chinese troops
entered Lhasa, the sacred capital
of Tibet.
Before the English invasion, in
1904, Tibet was the only unexplor-
ed inhabited spot on the globe,
and the dalai lama was held in
awe by both the Chinese and IL
betans. He was regarded by them
as the living reincarnation of Bud
da, and Duddhists believed that he
held all nations In awe by reason
of his spiritual power. Although
Tibet was dependency of China,
the dalai lama had full civil and
spiritual sway.

Of course they do not swagger

There would certainly he trouble

A REPUBLICAN PESS|MIST

The S Louis Globe Democrat and
other republican newspapers are
much exercised about the partisan
political outlook The Globe. Demo-
cart says:
"a democratic victory in No
vember would bring a crash on the
New York Stock Exchange just as
surely as the sun would rise on
Wednesday. November, 9. This
was true of the past and it would
be true in the present case"
What mu.t be the feelings of the
Globe-Democrat since it has heard
from Maine, and the awful posi-
bilties have become more than
probable.
Not having yet gotten over the
republican panic of 1907, which
Wall Street charged was caused
by Roosevelt foolishness. we hardly
expect that "the malefactors of
great wealth" will be as anxious
for another crash as the Globe
Democrat believes. So cheer up,
brother, and make the best of what
the gods send; and to help along
matters, why not resuscitate your
sunshine clubs? for the clouds
are rolling by.

REPUBLICAN HARMONY

. SEt 80
George Springmeyer. the re.
publican nominee for attorney
general, has issued the following
statement. in which he makes clear
his intention to cut loose from the
republican machine in the conduct
of his campaign:
Through the press p express
my gratitude to the republicans If
Mazda for their support at the
primary election.
Il regard it not as personal
compliment, but as an unqualified
endorsement of what the people
believe represent, as a rigorous
expression Of desire. to givetthe
ordinary mortal equal opportunities
with the predatory railroad corpor-
alton, and: as: a direct demand for
a square deal from atinstitution.
To me the result appeals as a
deserved rebuke to the evil in
fluenc eat work inNevada's political
affairs, and as an urmiSstaEabie
sign that. they will presently be
eradicated for all time.
I > Some may believe that : the
Southern Pacific is not IN politics
in Nevada HAPPEN to know,
from personal experience, that it
has been and is in politics, r. : and
that if the full force of it's. sinister
influence were known. the people
would stand appalled,, would. rouse
in their wrath and destroy. There
fore, regardless of personal. con,
sequences l am determined to con-
tinue the battle have commenced.
To the people, say now that the
struggle will not. : end until the
Southern Pacific body, soul''and
purpose, is driven out of politics.
| will continue to advocate the
policies and principles which
urged during the primary campaign
and l hope, by a consistent
devotion and adherence to them, t,
better, in measure, at least, the
business man the workingman anf
the producer, and to give then
entire independence in ,politica
activities.
