"Rainbows Dissolved" and Mil
waukee Socialists Unable to Carry
Out Their Gllttering Promises" are
headlines of the Los Angeles Times
A list of things promised but not
secured by the Milwaukee socialists
for that city is then published.
Some of these things have been
secured. And wherever a platform
demand has not been attained, it has
been because OF either one of two
conditions.
First. the city OF Milwaukee in
many important, necessary matters,
is handcuffede and helpless through
state laws. Until the state legisla-
:ture acts, the city cannot make
move toward certain actions for the
common good.
This is why Mayor Seidel in his
first message to the common council
said, Before all things, home rule
the right of self-government-
should be secured Over forty home
| rule bills were sent by the common
council to the state legislature for
. passage. While a larger number of
these passed than had been expected
most of them We're defeated, and
| very important rights We're denied
| by the republicans and democrats of
the Legislature.
THE city asked for the right to
conduct municipal loan depart
ment, putting loan sharks out of bus
mess; for the right to render free
legal service TO citizens who cannot
afford a lawyer: for the right to buy
land and construct model homes fol-
worllingmen. All OF these. among
others, were denied.
Second, the city of Milwaukee fol-
a half century has been in the hand.

Otis Fakes About Milwaukee

SOCIALISTS on entrance to Office was a
deficit of 100000 which had been
carefully concealed by the old regime
through the juggling of figures.
Land contracts aggregating $780,
900 came due Jan. I, 1911. That
principal payment on these had been
eVaded for ten years was not public
~ known in the city till the social
lists began their open book" policy.
Thus, third Of million dollars
debt fell due on.sthe administration
which was meeting debts in a way
different from the frienzied finance
methods that had prevailed.
These affairs cut down the amount
of cash available for new enterprises
In spite of this, however, every step
that could possibly be taken toward
the realization of the platform de-
mands, has been taken.
When the Los Angeles Times says
| that the Milwaukee socialists have
not brought about city ownership of
public service enterprises, it tells
the truth. When it says the social
lists promised such public ownership
it lies. Under it's present charter,
| the city is forbidden from such ac-
ton.
W nat the SOCIALISTS did do was the
only thing possible for them to do.
They introduced a bill in the legis-
lature asking the right for the city
to condemn. buy and operate such
enterprises And the bill was de-
feated in the Wisconsin legislature.
despite all its pretenses to progress
sive' principles
When the Los Angeles Times says
the socialists have not established
four public markets in 90 city. it
tells the truth. When it tells the So
cialists have taken no action in the
matter, it lies. \ public market

Are the Farmers
Destroying
Capitalism?
BY Clyde J. Wright.

by SlEQe j. wright
''Nine-tenths of the socialists of
Texas are farmers" so says Nat. L.
Hardy. One half of the socialists of
Kansas are farmers, says the state
secretary. Let me add that two
thirds of the socialists of Nebraska
are farmers. This speaks volumes.
Have our papers neglected the
farmers? Yes, just as they have
neglected the question of organiza-
ton. Leading socialists have been
heard to say that outside the cities
there is no socialist movement.
There is socialism and then there
is the power of socialism-the power
of socialism is organization. Exam
inc the state secretary's organization
maps. if you will, and note the small
and numerous country centers that
are now being organized, and per-
, haps for the first time realize that
the country districts are generating
the heat of socialist organization
which is likely to yet burn up cap
italism in the cities; while the cities
are celebrating upon some technical
point of science.
Are you still asking: "Can a far
mcr he a ?''-You should
! observe that the relative proportion
OF organized farmers in the middle
west as compared to the whole move
ment indicates that the farmer needs
no asking. These organized pre-
cincts answer.
The renters rebellion in Texas
seems to say that there are no more
political hayseeds in the country
than there are political thin heads
| in town.
1t may be true that there is more
glitter in the cities to attract at
tention. and also that the class strug-
gle is more clearly defined, but this
does not tell us that the wage work
ers are necessarily quicker or slower
| to understand. But we do know that
they are more helpless, more depend
ent, and therefore have less polfti-
cal independence. Capitalism knows
the value and power it has to feed
the town mans mind with cheap and
unfit vaudeville. detective stories
and other sensual literature. What
ever may be the intellectual advan-
tages. they are Offset by the very
/ poverty which they breed2the,
teach the wrong lessons.

The Sentiment
tai Attn,ists
By John NJ. Work.

Someone needs to lay hold of the
Intellectual collar of the sentiment
tai altruists again and urge them
into the socialist movement.
The sentimental altruists have n
great spiritual passion for human
ity They fool away their lives
working for superficialties. They
attempt to uplift particular individ-
uals.
They need be shown as plain as
daylight how barren and useless
their methods are-at the same time
generously giving their organized
charities, their social settlements,
their leagues and societies and com
mittees and cruisades of various
kinds, their due
But. how pitifully little their due
is!
1T is because they want to reach
down and uplift the working masses,
instead of working with them. The
working class has fortunately reach
ed the stage of self-respect. It does
not want to be patronized. 1t wants
its just dues.

But, how frightfulIy hardit is for
