SOCIALISTS OPEN THEIR FIGHT
EUGENE v. DEBS AND EMIL Sci.
DEL MAKE ADDRESSES.
Speaker Declares There Are But Two
Parties and One Issue in
Field.

Chicago, June 1.-THE first cam.
had a complete ticket in every state
in the nation has just opened. Eu-
gene V. Debs and Emil Seidel, the
Socialist candidates for president and
vice president of the United States
made the chief addresses, Both can
didates spoke at meeting in an
amusement park.
Mr.. Debs said in part:
In this campaign there are but
two parties and but one issue. The
so-called Republican and Democratic
parties are substantially one in what
they stand for, opposed to each other
on no question of principle but purely
in a contest for the spols of Office.
They stand for capitalism, for the pri.
vate ownership of the means of sub
sistence, for the exploitation of the
workers and for wage slavery
1--WE have before us in this city at
this hour an exhibition of capitalist
machine politics which lays bare the
true inwardness of the situation in
IHC toiip. A>olhlhS llidL any
Socialist has ever charged in the way
Of corruption Is to be compared with
what Taft and Roosevelt have charged
and proved upon one another They
are both good Republicans. just as
Harmon and Bryan are both good
Democrats, and they are all agreed
that Socialism would be the ruin OF
the country.
Taft and Roosevelt Hit.
Taft and Roosevelt in the eXploi.
tation Of their boosted individualism
and their mad fight for official spoils
have been forced to expose the whole
game of capitalist class politics and
reveal themselves and the whole brood
OF capitalist politicians in their true
role: mere puppets bought, paid for
and owned by the powers that are ex.
plotting this nation and enslaving and
robbing its tOilers.
The speech Of Emily Seidel. vice
presidential candidate. was devoted
largely to showing the powers of the
capitalist system and to pointing out
what he asserted to be the remedy.

THE BIBLE AS LITERATURE

Thought Sunday is day of rest, il
could well be used for an occupation
that would enrich our minds and give
us a greater knowledge of humanity.
This is the study of the Bible.
We all agree that the Bible is a
great work The Bible goes back to
remote antiquity, when literature was
at its highest development. Here we
find the finest love stories. the great
est orations; here are narrated deeds
of daring and noble sacrifices. Where
today is man of the wisdom of Solo
mon or the eloquence of Moses?
1t is easy to acquire the habit of
reading the Bible on Sunday. 1t comes
natural 1t is the best Sunday Occu-
patton.

4 HCMORIST SUCCEEDS.

Job Hedges has found that it pays
to be humorist. He has been Sc
lected as the Republican candidate
for governor of New York. And it is
conceded by all that it is his sense
of humor and his personal popularity
that have won him the place.
For years Hedges has been figure
in New York party politics. 1t was
not the devices of the average pOliti-
clan that made him so. He did moi
concoct smooth schemes or IVORY over
prospects. He simply radiated jovial-
ity and inspired confidence wherever
he went His smile was irresistible.
He spoke wherever needed and always
was humorous. He showered Opti-
mistic oratory at the Chicago conven-
ton. And now he's a gubernatoral
candidate.

The number of applicants for civil
service jobs in France last year act
ually dwindled by so per cent. If
this revolution in French life contin-
ues, it is said. government officers
will soon have to take whomever they
can get to fill the vacant position.
Here is opportunity for a display
of international friendship and help
fulness. The United States from its
many office-seekers. who now, in this
campaign year, are in great abund-
ance, can well spare enough for the
positions in France Much better can
the nation spare these than she can
