Douglas Island news., 1911-05-17

A good crowd of workers assembled at Mayaower island lastSunday. While some were engaged in clearing the brush from the deer park, others bent their energies to Che construction of a Jog cabin, and had there been more logs would have finished it. If the weather is pleasant next Sunday the willing workers will again gather. There is lots of work to do, clearing away the brush and rotten logs and cutting trails. but enough has been done to show that the people of Douglas Island will have the finest kind of a pleasure park. The work is being rushed on the deer park, as the animals now penned in a small cabin are suffering for fresh air and exercise.

About as lively spot as is often seen is that part of Front street where the fire of March 9th left it's dirty mark. Most of the rubbish and charred tim bers have been sluiced into the bay or carted away. Men are busy on both sides of the street setting foundation posts and dragging big timbers into place. Everything is hurry and hustle, and it is reasonable to expect that long before the snow flies again the marks of the fire will be entirely obliterated and Douglas will loom up better than ever before.

Returning to Missouri tonight, President Taft addressed the third annual National Censerva- tion congress in Convention hall here, After the regular dele gates were seated the doors were thrown open to the public and soon the huge hall was unable to accommodate those who strug- gled to obtain admission.
 The presidents speech was statistical in it's nature and called attention to the urgent need of conserving the farm lands. He predicted that the fBack to the Land" movement would be still larger in the next ten years. Im- provement of agricultural educa- tion was urged as solution of the problem of increasing the good supply.
 While the soil is being strip ed of it's fertility under present farming methods, ; said the president. 'I am not of the oipnion that the time eventually will come when the United States will be unable to feed it's own people,
 President Taft, with his speech tonight, closed a strenuous day in southeastern Kansas, making. addresses at eleven of the pro sperous little towns that dot that sections of the state. The president was tired but happy over the warmth of the reception the progressive Kansas had given him.

 The crowds during the day were largest the president had faced during any yof his travels.

ed, assert our allegiance to the i platform and principles of the
 national and international social
 ist movement.
 We recognize that the republ- ica,l stardpatters and the conser-
 vative democrats represent the
 big capitalists of the nation. We recognize also that the progress siye democrats and the insurgent republicans endeavor to repre- sent the interests of the rapidly disappearing middle class: but they are all ultimately controlled by the big capitalists. The work ing class can hope for no relief or betterment from either of these or any other capitalist parties.
 While all other parties claim to represent the interests of all the people, we alone, recognizing the class struggle in society. in which the capitalistic, or exploit ing. class is directly opposed to and pitted against the working, or producing class. unqualitiedly announce our unwavering al- legiance to the economic and political interests of the working class and represent them only.
 The immortal Lincoln and: Labor is prior to. and indepen- dent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the highest consideration. Since labor creates all wealth. to the producer of right belongs the enjoyment of the full social product of his toll.
 We recognize that in the evolution Of industry and the formation of trusts, production has already been socialized and that problem solved. To solve the problem of distribution. we propose to capture the political powers otgovernment and gain possission of the big industrial organizations in the interests of the workers, thus making every man, woman and child equal stockholders in the means of life. making it absolutely impos- sible for any individual or com hination of individuals to own anything that any human being must have access to in order to live"
 In addition to the foregoing, resolutions of " immediate de- mand" were adopted embracing. equal suffrage; state laws to pre- vent disfranchisement of work ing men by enabling them to vote in any precinct they may find themselves on election day; that judges shall not have power annul any law enacted by the people on the ground of Uncon- stitutionality or that they are contrary to public policy; curbing power of judges to issue iniunc- tions; that all persons accused of crime including contempt of court shall have the right of trial by jury; abolition of the veto power of the'executive; abolition of the state senate; elght hour day for wage workers and six hous for miners; state to furnish free school books and monday meals for school children, and some other matters in line with he usual socialist doctrine.
