conservation of health. The bureau
ses and class privileges.
The Rock of Glass Rule.
The private ownership of the land
ana means OF production used for ex-
ploItation is the rock upc.l which class
rule is built: political government is
its Indispensable Instrument. The
wage workers cannot be freed from
exploitation without conGuering the
political power and substituting col
iective for private ownership of the
land and means of productic,l usctt<for
exploitation
Tie basis FOR such transformation
IS rapidly developing within present
capitalist society. Tho factory system.
with its complex machinery and
minute division Of labor, is rapidly de-
stroying all vostigcs of individual
prouction in manufacture. Modern.
production Is already very largely a
collective and social process The
great trusts and monopolies which
have sprung up in recent years have
organized the work and management
OF the principal Industries on .la-
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 tile. The Socialist Party
strives to prevent land from being
used tor the purpose of exploitation
and speculation. 1t demands the col
lcctivc possession, control or manage
ment OF land to whatever extent may
be necessary to attain that end 1t is
not opposed TO the occupation and pos
session of land by those using it in a
exploitation.
The Socialist Party is primarily an
economic and political movement. 1t
is not concerned with matters of re-
liSious belief.
Iabor'S Interests Identical.

forests OF all modern workers are

crs of The world.
To unite the workers OF the nation
and their allies and Sympathizcrs 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 ,,wOrlling-class victory to free
all humanity from class rule and to

Norton Gives Right-Of-Way,

The city authorities of Norton have
simply taken the ''animule' by the
horns. The V. & S. w. branch of the
Southern Railroad has for months and
months been knocking at the door for
entrance. Hope had been all the while
that the Norfolk and Western would let
them in over their tracks, but-quoth
the raven, ''never more" 1t happens
that the city of Norton can spare six
teen feet Of its main street east and
west through the length of the town,
the Norfolk and Western owning all the
bottom lands on the south side of Main
street. The council has now granted
the Southern the right to lay track on
its sixteen feet, and we learn this will
be done at once. A Chinese wall like
Bluefield has will be built to separate
the street and railroad. Through this
arrangement the Southern can now
reach some fine coal lands back of Nor
ton and Stonega, and other operations
west of Norton will have another out
let.
