the clerk of the Board of Health are
going to be vigorously dealt with by

Kingsland midwife who had been do
ing business without a license. n

a year and that of Health Clerk John
A. Devlne $40 a year.

cision of the Bergen County Tax Boaru

THE SLAVE OF THE NONPRO-
PRODUCER.

(By Silas NJ. RollinsD
We toll in Il land of plenty
Though VIC live in a Land of greed.
Where tho fruits of our golden har-
vest
You may call us tho dupes of destiny
That never shall rise to fame,
But were dupes of the nonproduccr,
For we toll for anOtncr's gain.
We boast OF our grand republic,
And the nations revenue,
Which under the present system
Is owned by the wealthy few,
Just look at the humble worker
Who labor's from day to day
He's slave of the uonproducer,
He must work for his masters pay
There's the sons OF the great and
wealthy.
Proud pops of our slavish land,
Who arc living Il life of luxury,
That was wrought by the toilcr's
hand,
See the sons of the honest workers
Whose faces look wan and old.
They are slaves of the nonproduccrs
They must suffer the heat and cold
There's the girl in the city's factory
Whose face has shed it's bloom.
She weepS over her lot in silence
While her fingers are on the loom,
She thinks Of her blightcd future
AS she tolls her blighted future
For slave of the nonproducer
Must submit to their masters lust.
Then we call this Il land of freedom
And boast Of our nations wealth,
But We often forget to mention.
What is taken from us by stealth.
But the time Is not far distant
OF this system overthrow,
When the lave and the nonproducer
We never more shall know.
For dram of Il land. dear comrades.
Where all things are formed anew,
Where all men at last are equal.
Where all workers will get their
due.
And | sec a red flag waving.
That has won in the nations fray
While the ghost of the nonproducer,
In the distance fades away.

10. Unrestricted and equal suffrage

pealed or abrosate only by act OF con-
gress or by referendum of the whole

II. That all judges be elected by

curbed by immediate legislation.
The free administration of justice.
Such measures of relief as we may

Platform of the Socialist
Party of the United States

Out III abollsnlng the present Sys.
| TEN, the workingmen will free not
only their own class, but also all
other classes Of modern society: The
small farmer, who is today exploited
by large capital more indirectly blu:
not less effectively than is the wa &c
laborer; the small manufacturer a no
trader, who IS engaged in desperate
and inS@strnsgie for economic in
GeEendence in the face of the all
cong uerinS power of :, concentrated
capital; and even the capitalist HIM
SELF, who Is the slave of his wealth
rather than his master. The s:rug.
gle OF the working class against the
capitalist class, whiletit is a class
struggle for the abolition Of all clas-
conservation of health The bureau
ses and class privileges.
The Rock OF Glass Rule.
The private ownership of the land
ana means OF production used for ex-
Dloitation is the rock uDcu which class
rule is built; political government is
its indispensable instrument. The
wage-workers cannot be. freed from
exploitation without conpuering the
political power and substituting col
iective for private ownership Of the
land and means of production used for
exploitation.
The basis for such transformation
is rapidly developing within present
capitalist society. The factory system
with its complex machinery and
minute division of labor, is rapidly de-
stroying all vestiges Of individu
prouclion in. manufacture. Modem,
production is already very largely a
collective and social process. The
great trusts and monopolies VIII icil
have sprung up in recent years have
organized the work and management
OF the principal Industries on ma
tional scale, and have fitted them for
collective use and operation.
Land and Public Welfare.
There can be no absolute private
title to land All private titles.
whether called fee simple or other
wise. are land must be subordinate to
the public title. The Socialist Party
used for the purpose of exploitation
and speculation. 1t demands the col
lectivo possession. control or manage
mcnt of land to whatever extent may
be necessary to attain that end. 1t is
not opposed to the occupation and pos
session of land by those using it in {,
useful and br.la fidc manner without
exploitation.
Tho Socialist Party is primarily an
economic and political. movement. 1t
is not concerned with matters of re-
liSiouS belief.
LabOr'S Interests Identical.
In the struggle for freedom the in
forests Of all modern workers are
Identical The struggle is not only
national. but International. It EN-
braces the world and will he carried
to ultimate victory by the unite work
trS of abe world.
To unite the workers Of the nation
and their allies and SympathiZerS OF
all other classes to this; end is the mis-
sion of the Socialist Party. In this
battle for freedom the Socialist Party
does not strive to substitute working
class rule Tor capitalist class rule.
but by working. class victory to free
all humanity from class rule and to
realize tile International brotherhood
OF man.
