THE COMING STORM.
BY Hugh MCGEE.

The Socialist movement in the
United Sites Is engaged in as fierce
and terrific struggle in the political
field as the struggle of the unions
in the industrial field. It is more
than that. It is q death grapple with
organized society. .:s
All the present laws, all the pres
ent customs, all the present beliefs,
all the. all the present conventional
ties, all the present social actions are
based on the present so-called rights
of the present profit system. s
In Europe there are conflicting
t conditions, such as castles and the
hereditary beliefs in the divine rights
Of kings and the vested rights Of the
landed aristecracy, while in America
the issue is a clear cut fight against
the continuation of the present ac-
copied political beliefs of the people
Of the United States. =,
Today in the United States, the
capitalist system Of society compels
the recognition of the superiority Of
the men who inherit money or accu-
mulate money, over all other men,
as we'll as permitting one man or set
of men to take what another man
| has made, or ten thousand men have
made, providing wages are paid to
! these men. -..>q,. = "
In other words, you can legally
take what another man makes If you
feed him. a. ,..st y 4 =. ::
Now the Socialists say that this is
| robbery, and they propose to stop it..
| They propose to make a new law
which will say that no man or set
Of men can take profit. rent or in
terest from any man, woman OF child
! who is living today or from those who
will be born tomorrow.
They propose to make a. new law
which will make all the people of the
| United States owners OF whatever
they make or build or produce.
They propose to make q new law
which will say that all the instru-
ments Of production and distribution
used for private profit shall hence
forth belong to all the people of the
United States. @
They propose a cooperative com-
| monwealth.
It is q death struggle and it Is
inevitable that the continued robbery
Of the many by the few must and
will cease. 4. !. =' y.

'W()RKING MEN AND
WORKING WOMEN. LLSTENl
By John g. Chase,

You have q golden opportunity, an
opportunity to do something which
will be historic in the progress Of
civilization. s.s
You have ansopportunity to strike
tremendous blow for the freedom,
not only of working men. but the
freedom Of working women.
There is a petition being circulated
throughout the United States request
Ing congress to submit to the legis-
latures Of the several states for ratiff-
cation, an amendment to the national
constitution, which will enable women
to vote in all elections on an equality
with men. Z:
You know that the ballot is the
great weapon which the working class
can use whenever that class gets
ready to use it. You know also, that
the working class is about to use that
weapon for its emancipation. Do you
not want your mother, sister or
daughter to be able to use that ballot
with you? E@sI ~, e
Are you going to allow yourselves
to be weakened in the great conflict
by having those 80 closely interested
with you, so closely allied with you
in the struggle, deprived of a chance

full minute the audience under his
spell, sat mute and motionless; there
was no thought Of applause. Finally
the chairman started, as If from a
dream. and: arose. With an audible
sigh the audience stirred to life. Paul,
listening from the wings and fearing
to hear applause, breathed deeply in
relief. his moment had indeed come.
"And gone" he muttered complain

stern faced man, who looked at him
dxedly.

Deputations-With a Difference.

Hughie let himself into his chambers
in Jsrrnyn street and rang the bell of his
sitting room. 1t was a comfortable
bachelor apartment, with sporting tro-
phies on the wallis. cavernous armchairs
round the fireplace and plenty Of pipes
dotted about the mantelpiece.
1t was IL o'clock on a fine morning in
March, and Hughie had been to Putney
to stroke a scratch eight against the
Cambridge crew, who had rowed full
trial on the early food and required a
little pacing between bridges.
Presently the sitting room door opened
and John Alexander Goble presented him
self upon the threshold. Since his un-
regenerate days on board the Orinoco a
new and awful respectability had de-
seconded upon him. and in his sober me-
NAL attire he looked more like Calvin
istic divine than ever He regarded his
employer with some displeasure.
! Your breakfast has been sitting In the
fender these twa hours" he observed.

regime. To Hughes essentially mascu-
line mind her changes Of attitude were q
complete mystery. They seemed to have
no logical sequence or connection. She
would avoid him or seek him out with
equal unexpectedness. She might be hope
lessly obstinate or disarmingly docile.
One day she would behave like a spoiled
child: on another she would be a very
grandmother to him. Sometimes she
would blaze up and rail against her much
enduring guardian for a tyrant and a
monster; at others she would take him
! under most maternal wing, and steer
him through garden party or g. recep.
ton in a manner which made him feel
like lost child in the hands Of benevo-
lent policeman. On one occasion. which
he particularly remembered, she had
rounded on him and scolded him for a
full half hour for his stolid immobility
and lack Of fnesse: the self-same after
noon he had overheard her holly defend
ing him against charge of dizziness
brought by two frivolous damsels over the
tea-table.
All this was very perplexing to a man
who hated subtlety and liked his friends
and foes marked in plain figures. It I'M
settled his own opinions, too. Joey's
variegated behavior prevented him from
deciding in his own mind whether he
really liked her or not. At present all he
was certain of was that he loved her.
