Two years. at least, of idleness await

There are comparatively few peo-
PIE who understand the real mean
ing Of socialist Tae name has a bad
sound to the average mind &c IS as-
ISOLATED with anarchy bombs and
anything but peace in governmental
rule. AS matter of fact however
real socialism cf Che present day Is
the very opposite of these things
The dominant chord in socialism is
the freedom of The MASSES from the
grasp OF the classes-or we might
say. the freedom of those who must
labor for what they ct out of life
from the oppression Of the reat i'm
teresis which accumulate their wealth
at the expense ofg those who are
not connected with them Their hope
for q solution of this great problem is
in government ownership of public
utilities ana other enterprises which
vitality effect the welfare of an class
es. TO those who consider a socialist
as nothing else than q thrower OF
bombs. the recent elections which
showed such startling gains i'm the
ranks Of socialism, appears as noth-
ing short of a calamity. no the man
who understands socialism, and the
goal toward which it SIS working, the
present development and growth Of
the movement is looked upon as the
natural consequence of the gobblins
up by the great interests of what be-
longs to The people, and they see mo

cialist than In that of amy other radi-
cal who is only thinking little ahead
