HOUR COMETH!
The revolutionary fire is burning
brighter in the heart and soul of
man. Just how long he will submit
to being robbed and ravished, de-
bauched and damned. We cannot
tell. Already he Is weary of his
load and will sooner or later free
himself of his-long burden, not so
much because he wants to, but be-
cause he must. Because it has be.

stumbling under it's mighty weight
AL through past ages mankind
has endured his lot painfully. AT
times he would rebel---striking ter

Thinking he had freed himself he
would blindly stoop to be saddled
and rode by the same class against
whom he had rebelled and who bS

this day.
THE FINAL STRUGGLE is NOW
ON BETWEEN MAN AND MAN.
BETWEEN THE MASTER AND
THE SLAVE. The present order is
the last of a chain of systems which
have reached down through he
ages and like Rome. to fall of .he1r

struction. 1t has served it's useful

new order of things. The new order
is SOCIALISM. 1t is the next step
in the trend of revolutionary events.
1t is not dream, but a glorious
possibility. SOCIALISM is very SEN
sitive. 1t feels the LASH when laid
on the back OF the SLAVE and is
their only hope of emancipation
the one bright star of HOPE that
shines eternally in the souls of all
mankind. 1t can hear the cry of
little children; is touched by the
tears Of the mothers and with an

Debts on the Soc.
iQlist Movement
BY ELIAS TOBEKIN.

Anything the matter with the So
cialist movement"
In substance this was the question
put to Eugene V. Debs the other day
as he was packing his suit case pre-
liminary to leaving Newark, n. j.,
for that State of Connecticut. where
he had some speaking engagements
to fill
And in substance Debs' answer
was that the movement was at no
time better united and more har-
monious than it is today.
Debs was speaking, of course, NJ
I'VE SOCIALIST movement of the Unit al
States. He was not speaking of a
single city or single Socialist To-
cal. There may be more than one
Socialist local where IL few Individual
Socialists see nothing but ruin ana

movement if this and not that policy
or method is followed

Socialist everywhere are working.

there is no use flying off the handle
on account of these differences. They

And it is we'll that there is har-
mony in the movement. There IS
nothing so hurtful to the Socialist
party as squHbbles over little. IN
significant things. The uninitiatcd ,
who is not familiar With the Social
ist mind, may easily become dis
courased at seeing these squabb-
les and mistake them for vital dis
agreements, and then turn away from
the Socialist movement, using the
old argument that the Socialists do
not agree among themselves.
What about the labor move
ment?" Debs was asked The labor
movement is a favorite with Debs,
and he talked freely. He said:
Socialists must advocate militant
unionism. industrial unionism.
1t is a mistake to fondle
trade mnionism in the hope
of swinging it toward radicaliSm at
some later time. We must consis-
tently advocate industrial unionism

But there is one thing that we
have TO guard against in the adj

What is essential now is to preach
the theory of industrial. or revol-

theory take root in the minds of TIE
workers. As to the methods which

can trust that 90 the future. The
question as to what national body d
newly formed industrial unior
should join will solve itself as soon
as the principles of revolutionary
unionism have percolated through
the minds of the workers. as soon
as they are ready to organize along
industrial lines
While not mentioning the Indus

Greece is forming a senate on the
American principle, In order to give
equilibrium and stability to her sys-
TEN of government. This recognition
of our highest legislative body as be-
ing the balance wheel of our institu-
tions serves to remind us that the
American Constitution has outlived
every other instrument of its kind
which was in vogue at the time our
government was founded upon its be-
nign provisions.
Our Constitution has survived the
doubts and fears freely expressed by
many good Americans at the time OF
it's adoption, as well as the storm Of
skepticism and prophecies Of evil
which greeted it in the old world. No
country in the world nowadays thinks
of changing its form Of government
but looks to our constitution for the
fundamentals of its new departure.
No country adopting them has had
cause to regret its action.

Little Griffith has been taught to be

one of whom he loves dearly. partly
on account of the young mans genial

the other, inclined to be patronizing
and stingy, Griffith stands somewhat
in awe.
One day, when both uncles were

youngster with a penny, waving aside
his surprised thanks with appropriate
remarks. The boy, learning little
later that 1t was the other uncle's

He held out his hand to her.

she answered:
