THE TIDEAT THE FLOOD.
BY John NJ. Work.

Shakespeare says:
There is a tide in the afairs
OF men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on
TO fortune;
Omitted, all the voyages of their life
Is bound in shadows and in mis-
cries.
On such a full sea are We now
aloar,
And We must take the current
when it serves.
Or lose our ventures"
OF course he used Il poets license.
Things are not always so drastic that
there is only n Nopportuniyt. Never
theless, there is a vast domain of
truth in his statement.
No one Knew better than Shakes
pears that real success-for he uses
the word fortune and the word sue
cess Interchangeable means sue
cess in doing good in the world. II
the immortal bard is privileged at
the present time to gaze upon the
human t~ragi-comedy that is being en-
acted on this earth, it must cause a
smile to creep over his countenancc
when he sees men deliberately mis-
take uccess to mean the achievement
of personal ambition.
1t is Interesting to note how many
men fail to take the tide Mt the. Hood.
1t is also interesting to note how
maSnihciently successful are those
who do take it at the food.
h majority of the people of the
United States in the former half OF
the nineteenth century thought
Daniel Webster and Henry Clay were
successful men.
They also thought Wendell Phil.

of the Socialist
Party of the United State

Out III aooIlShlng the present Sys-
tenn, the workingmen will free not
only their " class, bug also all
other classes of modern society. Tho

Gle or the working class against the
capitalist class. while it is a class

Conservative OF health. The huroou
ses and class privileges.
The Rock of Class Rule.
The private ownership of the land
ana means Of production used for ex-
ploltatiou is the rock upon which class
rule is built; political is
It's indispensable Instrument. Ths.
"ase-worherS cannot be freed from
exploitation without c~onguering the
political power and substituting col
lectivc for private ownership of the
land and means Of productioN used io..
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 vestigcS of individual
prouction in manufacture. Modern.
production is already very largely Il
collective and social process. The
yFDsAp Z rNrt aud
have sprung up in recent years have
rganized the work and management
OF the principal industries on a 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 and must be subordinate to
the public title. The Socialist Party
strives to prevent land from being
used for the purpose of exploitation
and speculation. 1t demands The col
~lective possession. control or
ment of land to whatever extent MAJ
be necessary to attain hat end. 1t is
not opposed to the occupation and pos
session of and by those using it in Il
useful and bona iide manner without
exploitation.
The Socialist Party is primarily an
economic and political movement. 1t
is not concerned with matters of re-
ligiOuS belief.
LabOr'S Interests Identical.
In the struggle for freedom the in
terests of all modern workers are
Identical: The struggle is not only
national. but international. 1t EN-
braces the world and will he carried
to ultimate victory by the unite work
crS OF the world.
To unite the workers of the nation
and their allies and sy~mpathiZers 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 for capitalist class rule,
but by working-clasS victory to free
all humanity from class rule and to
realize the international brotherhood
of man.
