THE SOCIALIST srssAM ROLLER.

Tho most striking thing in the So
clalst convention that has just nomi-
mated Debs as the party presidential
rollerlng OF Haywood and his indie
pendent Workers of the World. This
organization represents the American
devclopm of the French syndical-
ism. 1t Is the red" minority III the
Socialist party. as opposed TO the more
conservative and scholarly yellow"
clement that now controls it's desti-
MES. 1t believes in industrial revolu
ton instead of the slower methods or
political action. Its theory Is to unite
all the laboring men of the country In
one gigantic union OF Industrial work
ers, without regard to the divisions of
trade unions. Under Its banner are
Joined ali the malcontents and radicals
w-he. are eager for direct action at any
cost.
1t Is u rather strange thing 10 con-
coive of the but lately feared socialist
acting as check and safeguard against
rampant class feeling. Yet this Is
practically what the defeat of the res
olution to indorse direct action" meth
DDS in tho party platform means. The
saner !dealists are not ready to plunge
the whole industrial life of the nation
into a series of huge and costly strikes,
aimed not so much at lettering local
conditions as at asserting the funda-
mental mower Of mere brute force.
The nomination of Debs and S>idel
represents the choice OF middle
ground ticket. They are more or less
acceptable to each faction. Their only4
duty will be to run. And the number
OF votes they receive Will be largely
determined, not by the actual number
of convinced Socialists In the land. but
by tho type of men selected as standr
ard bearers by the dominant parties
The Socialist vote apparently only
grows as the radicals and insur-
gents OF all classes use this means Of
expressing dissatisfaction with the
candidates and policies advanced by
Democrats and Republicans. The sole
vital Significance OF socialism is that It
voices q protest.

Harlineen Melons at the Capital.
If there are a-plenty of water
melons for the glorious Fourth. or
for June 18th. at the earliest, no
body is supposed to grumble. But
there is likely to be more or less
dissatisfaction among cer'ain classes
from now on-a sort of mouth
watering longing, as it were-when
the information is let out that it is
possible to ripen melons before the
first of June and in Texas.
The first melon of 1912 made its
appearance Saturday, May rs. 1t
was shipped here to young Dexter
Shelley, aged 6, on the occasion of
his birthday. That he is a true
lover of the fruit of the vine seemed
to be indicated by the antics which
he executed at sight of it. He knew
what was coming, and was happy.
The lads parents are MIR. and Mrs.
Robert Shelley, of 1918 West Sixth
street.
The melon came from Harlingen.

May be the last great national
convention" says the Capital. What
does the Capital mean?
Does it mean that hereafter pres
idents will be elected by direct

Does it mean that the republican
party may never recover from this
convention sufficiently to hold an
other?
Does it mean that if Roosevelt is
nominated and elected the govern

away with?
