add that socialism is worldwide
movement and has for its advo-
Gates the ablest political econo-
mists in all lands. 1t Is growing
rapidly in all civilized countries.
The invention of labor-saving
machinery which enables one
worker now to do what required
the labor of 40 workers so years
ago, is the principal thing that is
bringing it. No power on earth
can stop it's coming.
Socialism, alone, proposes the
only possible solution of the great
and growing capital-labor prob
lem.
Socialists say, Industrial util-
tiles of a public nature should
not be monopolized by private
parties for their own selfish in
terests.
They do not. however, oppose
trusts as such, for they are found
ed on the cooperative, or socialis-
tic plan; but when private own
ers of public utility get so rich
and powerful that they can and
do crush all competitors and defy
the government itself, then it may
be said that that particular trust
has run it's course of usefulness as
a privately owned industry.
Socialists say there are several
great trusts now ripe, and they
ought to have the water squeezed
out of them, be duly appraised.
the owners justly compensated
and the ownership taken over by
city, state or nation.
The ultimate purpose of social
ism is to establish a cooperative
commonwealth in which every
worker with head or hand, in ev-
cry useful occupation, shall re-
ceive the full product Of his labor,
less only what may be necessary
to carry on the government.
The twelve millions of socialists
the world over ordinarily refrain
from voting unless they have a
ticket In the field, but sometimes
when they have no candidate be-
fore the people many of them cast
their vote for such old-party can
didates as come nearest to repre-
senting the public-ownership
movement. R. A. DAGUE.

Editor the Times:

Editor the Times:
This is for the workingman:
Do you know that who is to be
mayor of Tacoma is to be decided
by you on next Tuesday, because
the workingmen rule this city.
We would not array one class of
citizens against another. But did
you ever know Mr.. Seymour to be
looking you up to be shaking
hands with you or getting &C
quainted with you before this
election was started? On the 9TH
er hand, has not Mr.. Fawcett al
ways been ready to shake hands
with you and call you by your
first name for over twenty years?
This is no sudden change of
heart on his part, but shows the
principles Of the man. Mr.. Faw-
cett realizes what this fight means
to you. Every day enormous pres
sure and influence is brought to
bear upon him to get him to throw
down the cause of the common
people, yet never once has he fall

hard and progress slow.
He once said to me, "I knew it
would be a hard fight before /
took this place, but l never real
lied to what extent the other fell
lows would go to prevent us from
anything for the
people," I said to the mayor, a
great many of us did not know
whether you could win or not
against the combination that has
always fought Tacoma and Taco
mas interests, but we believed
then, and do now, that If you
could not win no one can.
Now, fellow workingmen, If
you appreciate a valiant champion
for our cause, show 1t by casting
your vote next Tuesday for the
best friend a workingman ever
had, one who goes to work every
at z o'clock at the city
hall and is the last one to leave,
and is always ready to answer any
question relating to the city gov
eminent. He is called Fighting
Fawcett." A WORKER.

THE CROSSED FINGERS
BY Strickland Gillian

He swore that her kiss was the
first he had had;
But his fingers were crossed!
He'd kissed bis mother. when he
was lad
Yes, but his fingers were
crossed!
He vowed that not only he'd meier
had a taste
OF quivering lips, but that no
other waist
Had ever been clasped by his
arms.
Then in haste
His fingers were crossed!
She listened to all Of the CUFF he
had said
While his fingers were crossed!
She laid on his bosom her wise lit
tie head
While his fingers were crossed!
She answered so low that the
famed little bird"
Who peddles sweet secrets could
scarcely have heard
AS she breathed, ooh, my love,
believe every world"
But her fingers were crossed!

Our capacity TO produce has de-

problem of more markets requires our
urgent and immediate attention.
Reciprocity treaties are in harmony

why should they not be employed to
