shrivelled up necks, is the bottom rocA
upon which rests the system you SC
dearly love.
If your lovely system was dead land

life for, it would be the death of it)

What want to burn into your con-
science, and hope you haven't voted
the republican ticket till you have
none, that you cannot serve God and
the system (devil) at the same time.
You will sooner or later be compelled
to give up one of them. You can't be
just and feel good toward God and
vote for system which stands in con-
fiict with what you teach on Sunday,
and what our Saviour taught 1900
years ago.
I charge that YOU are untrue and
unfaithful to your party or the system
you so dearly love. l also charge that
you vote in conflict with Christ S
teachings and consequently you un-
christianize yourself and charge Christ
as being liar when He said, "Seek
ye first the kingdom of heaven" etc.
As you dare not undertake to defend
any of the great steals, mean legal
steals, such as the banking system,
giving away the peoples land, votes,
power, and with them the natural pro-
ducts of mother earth. You are such
heavy weight you are as ignorant of
the principles of Socialism as you are
of the principles of right between man
and man.
Listen, God made the earth before
He made man. Then I conclude
that He made it for man to inhabit.s
You say, Yes, provided he will pay
rent. Socialism says he shall possess
the earth for use only. What do you
want with more than You can use?
For no other purpose than to eat bread
in your brothers. face in direct conflict
with justice from any source. You
must justify profit, rent, and interest
and answer me or you show the white
feather. It's up to you, "Wild West. +"
If profit, rent and interest is right,
how much?. Or if private ownership
of land is right, how much.
The Socialists teach and preach, that
which God alone created should be
public property and should belong to
His family. Then all mankind would
be guaranteed equal opportunity in
life at any age while your system
starts us with uneven opportunities
and we remain so not from any fault
of ours, but by laws Of your unjust
system. Socialism also teaches that
what worker produces, that should
be his. That is, if he produces moth
ing, he gets nothing. He is entitled
to what be produces and if he caa live
producing, that's his bust
ness, but whatever his labor produces
is his private property. Anything
wrong or unjust about that Oh, no,
hear you say. Then I ask why can't
you be honest enough with your God,
with your Saviour, with your fellow
man, yourself and with your family to
even admit the TRUTH Paul said
man should work if he eat, what do
you say.
In your little, imaginary socialist
store you made it all right for a man
with capitalist mind, for they start
n for the purpose of doing the other
fellow first. You had it capitalism
rom start to finish. It's hard for

You see everything through capital

Inything right and just through them.
