HISTORIC LINE.
Origin OF One Known as Mason and
Dixon's Still Interesting.

The historic Mason and Dixon's
line is a name that was given to
the boundary line between Maryland
and Pennsylvania about I 80 years
ago. 1t comedies with 80 degrees
43 minutes and 26.S seconds north
latitude. Except for a distance of
twenty-five miles the line was marF-
ed out by Charles Mason and Jere-
miah Dixon, English engineers. They
surveyed it for a distance OF 25S
miles west from the Delaware river,
between November 10, 1863 and
December 20, 1867. Each five mile
stone bears the coat of arms .!
Maryland cut on one side ot the
stone and that of Pennsylvania or
the other The intervening mile
stones bear the letter "P" cut OF
one side and the letter M OF
the opposite. o.. -
During the progress of the vto
lent debate in Congress in 1920
which resulted in the historic meas
ure known as the Missouri compro
mise, on the question of excluding
slavery from Missouri, John Ran
dolph made use of the phrase ma
son and Dixon Line" as the divid
F. ing line between slave and fire
staten, S aryland at that time beinj
| slave state and Pennsylvania
= free state. At that time the cross
y ing OF the line from the sout
meant freedom TO the fugitive slave
e The reference thus made TO tn
Mason and Dixons line by Randolp
II as dividing line between slay
t and free states brought the phras
into general use, and it continue
4 to designate the line between free
e dom and slavery until after tn
Civil War.

The Initiative and Referendum

The Referendum is a method by
which five per cent. of the voters of
the State can by Referendum petit
ton cause a law passed by the Legis-
lature to be submitted to the vote
of the people before it becomes a
law-the vote of the people to be
conclusive.
The right of the people to instruct
their representatives is an ancient
right, never abandoned and is alien
able by natural law, a law more an
cient, venerable, masterful, indis-
putable than written constitutions.
The United States loses six hun
dred thousand people by death an
nually from preventable illness and
has on an average nearly three mil
lion people constantly sick, from pre-
ventable disease. This enormous loss
of life and this loss of national eff
cheney by preventable disease, could
be saved by good laws. Are the ma
chine politicians too busy in pro-
noting or preserving political graft
to consider and remedy this national
tragedy?
Petitions and prayers and demands
innumerable, for years have gone up
to Congress demanding many public
reforms, obviously necessary, for ex-
ample, for a lower tariff, for reel
procity, for lower taxes, for less ex-
travagance, for Department of Pub
lie Health, and what do the people
get? The tariff is revised up, reel
procity is denied, retaliation is
threatened by the Tariff Act, extrav-

spiracies in triumph control the mar

Socialism and Race Equality

At the National Convention of the
Socialist party held in Indianapolis
July, 1901, a resolution was unani-
mously passed declaring for equality
between the black and white races,
Some time after this Eugene " Debs.
the Socialist candidate for President,
contributed an article to the Socialist
press in which he referred to this
subject and declared that the race
prejudice now existing in this nation
and especially in the Southern States.
was due entirely to the present "Capi-
tal1st1c System, and that the coming
OF Socialism would abolish all such
preJudices, and that Socialism. and
that alone, meant the 'solidarity of
the race"
Still later (1902), the Louisiana
State Socialist Convention did, how
ever, draw the color line, and because
of this the National Committee of the
Socialist Party refused to grant
charter to the Socialist Party of
LOuisian.
All Socialists admit that Socialism
stands for the solidarity of the
race, social and economic equality.
INDUSTRIAL EQUALITY CANNOT
EXIST WITHOUT SOCIAL EQUALI-
TY.
Would not social equality destroy
our whole social fabric? Would it
not in one generation create a MU-
LATTO RACE? Think this over. The
best colored people do not want this
condition. The so-called yellow
peril is far less dangerous than this
proposed social equality
The Almighty created five distinct
races The attempt by man to merge
these five races into one would de-
stroy civilization, just as the Pater-
nalistic Socialism Of ancient Greece
destroyed that once great and power
erful nation
When the Socialists declare for
Solidarity of the Race" they mean
the whole race-black, brown, yell
low, red and white.
Therefore the Socialist Party is
