:. Get Together.
The 1912 election is over.
by Hugh Mccee.)

The 1912 election is over.
The voters Of the United States, to
the numer of fifteen million, have
again pulicly expressed their wishes
and their convictions.
Nearly one million persons, among
this imense number were active ad-
vocates Of change from the present
acceted political and industrial order
to national organization which would
protect and advance human rights
alone.
This Socialist throng, though it is
united in thought and purpose, is not
sufficiently organized. It is made up
largely of individuals whose activities
consist only OF voting the Socialist
ticket on election day.
We must get this great army of in
dividuals into our organization. If not
all of them, let US at least strive with
all our power to add to our ranks
those who are the ablest and most eff
cient; for work, hard work, is crowd
ing upon the few workers in our pres
ent organization.
The Socialist oganization has only
lit $50 dues-paying members widely
scattered all over the United States.
However, this small organization
has made it possible for the 100000
men outside of the organization who
vote the Socialist ticket, to publicly
express their wishes and their protest
against the present political and social
order.
The members of our organization
are mostly wage workers, a majority
being members of industrial or trade
Organizations, as well.
A very small number are so-called
intellectuals, professional men and
small capitalists.
lectua1s are hard-headed men who are
vision.
They are considered by those who
are outside of our organization, as pub
licity agents, and their ability and per
sonality either attract or repel those
whom we wish to join our ranks.
AS a matter of fact, the Socialist
= organization excells all other organiza-
tons in the comparatively large pro
portion Of able and efficient men and
women within its ranks.
On account of our small organiza.
ton, it is natural that great deal OF
responsibility is THRUST upon the able
and active members.
This being so, it is absolutely neces.
sary for the organization to use its
best efforts in putting before the four
teen million voters. who are ignorant
Of our plans and purposes, members
who are familiar with the customs,
habits and beliefs Of these same voters
1t is also necessary that our publicity
agents should be recognized by these
same. millions of voters, as being eff.
cient and able to fulfill public duties,
should they be intrusted with these
duties.
History records the fact that the
ablest individuals and groups in a
minority organization are thought to
be the best expression Of the organiza.
ton and as like attracts like in ma
ure, so likewise among human beings,
the able and efficient men and women

in public view attract other able men
and women.
In our growth, many members of
the Socialist organization will be elect
ed to the various public Offices as pub
lie servants and upon their ability and
efficiency will depend the continued
growth Of our organization.
These things must be considered by
the ablest member who is intrusted
with the greatest responsibility, as
well as the worker whose ability Is
limited to the performance OF single
detail

able working class representatives Is
the necessary preliminary step in

bringing about the great industrial
change.
AS an organization, we strive for
political power and with our growth
viii come greater power and final &C
ceptance of our convictions and our
ideals.
Get together, Comrades.
Cooperate.
Help us to help ourselves by helping
others to help us.

e. The Two Systems e.
(ey Plebs.)


There are two systems and only two,
under which any sindustry is, or can
be, run.
One is private ownership or capital
ism, under which a few individuals
called a firm, ora number of stock
holders called corporation, own all
the buildings, machinery, tools, ETC.,
which are used in making the product.
These owners, who. are known as
capitalists, hire other men to do the
manual and. mental labor necessary,
and give, them part of the product,
which is called wages.
The owners or capitalists keep the
rest of the product, which is called
profit. H.
The wages Of the Wage-earners are
determined by competition; that is,
when an employe is wanted, and ten
apply for the job; the man, woman or
child who the employer thinks will do
the most work for the least pay will
get the job. So you see that under
tend toward the smallest amount
which the worker can work for and
keep alive on. The price of the pro-
duct used to be fixed by competition
also, but this is not, as a rule, true
today, because the owning class, which
is not like the working class, driven to
a fierce competition by the fear OF
starvation, have learned that they can
make much larger profits by combin-
ing and agreeing on the price of their
product than they can. by competing,
which always lowers prices.
For the past twenty years this coun1
try has tried to destroy combinations
and restore composition, with the re-
suit that the attempt has been COM
plete failure, for the simple reason
that there is no known method under
the capitalist system whereby two or
twenty men can be prevented from
coming together in private and fixing
the price of the article which they sell,
and selling it at that price.
Let us now look at the industrial
system known as collective ownership,
or Socialism. This idea is now partly
operative in the publicly owned post
Office, the public schools, the public
roads and bridges (Which were once
privately owned), the police system,
the public fire department, the public
water works, and the Panama canal.
The Socialists want the same power
to dig the copper and the coal and the
oil wells that dug the Culebra cut.
They want the highways made of steel
rails owned and operated by the pub
lie, like the highways made of maca-
dam. They want the mills and fac
tories that make the boots and shoes,
and the clothing we must wear, and
the brick and lumber we must build
our houses of, to be owned and operat-
ed by the same power that has shown
itself capable of building and operat-
ing such complex machine as the
modern battleship.
And we want them democratically
operated.
Now why do Socialists want us to
own and operate these Industries for
our own benefit instead of allowing a
few people to own and operate them
for their own profit? Does not the
question answer itself? This is the
reason: The owning class under pri
sVate ownership is under q constant
temptation to do three things.
list. To increase the price Of the
product, because that means more pro-
ct.
End. To decrease wages to the
lowest possible point, because that
means more profit.

In the current issue Of Farm and

esting and informing article about
"Sweet-clcver," an extract from
which follows:
Since colonial days there has
grown along our roadsides a legume

Until late years the only steadfast
friend OF sweet clover has been the

many cases uttered imprecations a

going a change. and the agricultural

The eradication of bovine tubercu-
losis is making Roadway. Many towns
realize this source OF danger and
have sanitary codes that necessitate
the tubcrculin testing OF all dairy
cattle supplying milk for human con-
sumption. This wac first inaugurated
by the State Board OF Health, and the
dairymen and cattle owners now
realize the importance OF having
their herds free from tuberculosis.
The law allows no indemnity for dis
eased cattle, and the problem of Grad
ication is purely a public health
and public spirit problem. The
owners are to be commended for the
manner in which they have cleaned
their herds of this disease.
The United States Bureau OF Animal
Industry recognizes this fact, and TO
foster and encourage the eradication
of tuberculosis from the herds, has
extended the services Of experts, free
to cattle owners, through the efforts
of the State Board of Health and the
Live Stock Sanitary Board. While the
city OF Lexington can rightly boast
OF a low bacterial count in their city
milk supply. we must not overlook
the diaries at Paducah, where every
animal furnishing milk to consumers
in that city was tuberculin tested
for the owners, free of charge, by
Government men. A total of approx
mately 1900 dairy cows were tested.
and all diseased, as shown by the
test, were slaughtered before the pub
lie and owners, and every animal
condemned proved on post mortem 20

but have a great influence on all
the importance Of keeping healthy
cattle in their dairies. The dairymen
at Paducah deserve great credit and
the consumers Of that city can safe

dairies that are carefully and honest
ly operated by progressive and far
seeing owners. May their influence
he spread to every town in Kentucky,
and reach every consumer and every
producer. until it can be honestly
said that there is not a COW in the
dairies of Kentucky supplying milk
fer human food. that has tuberculosis.
The milk consumers must realize that
the milk supply must be free from
disease and from cattle that have
been tuubcrculin tested.
