Socialism in a Nutshell

/. Collective ownership Of the
means of producing and distributing
wealth. such rs lands. mines, factor
ice. railroads.. mail. express. telegraph
and telephone service, light, water
and heat plants. etc, SO that private
monopoly. graft and eXt0rtion will be
impossible. and rent, interest and
profit will he abolished and all will
have the full product Of their labor.
2. Private ownership Of wealth,
such rs a home, vehicles, furniture,
books. pictures. etc, according 10 the
value Of ones labor. Socialism means
the public ownership Of wealth: the
public ownership Of opportunity; the
private ownership of the products OF
ones labor the public ownership OF
life itself.
3. Direct legislation through the
initiative. referendum and imperative
recall. 50 that the people themselves
may rule as they please in spite of
councils. legislatures, congresses or
courts
4. \ new system Of money issued
by the government alone and limited
so that it will be true medium OF
exchange only. not a medium Of eH-
ploitation as n0W.-EXChan9e,

nSivileEed classes. universal eduea
ton and fraternity, perfect freedom
Of exchange, and, bast and gradest
of all, the final abli1eratlon OF that
fonl stigma upon our so-called civil
ization-the poverty of the masses.
We declare war with the wage
system. which demoralizes alike the
hirer and the hired, cheats both, ana
enslaves the workingman; var with
TIE present system OF finance. which
robs labor, gorges capital, makes the
rich richer and the poor poorer anu

If any man asks me what value /
place upon the movement, say 1t Is
the movement of humanity 10 protect
itself; II is the grandesr and most
comprehensive movement OF the age.
II is shame to our civilization
for our social system TO provide and
expect that any man at seventy wears
OF age shall be lord Of many thou
sands or dollars, while hundreds OF
other mei!. who have made as good
use o! their talents and opportunities.
lean upon charity for their dali!

Tile best minds and hearts OF the
land should give themselves to the
work OF changing this gross !nJus'
Lice; this appalling !niquity.

to turn public thought and effort into
this channel. is for the wOrkingman

lime shoveing coal on the fire over

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
NARROWLY AVERTED

An accident which might have end
ed with serious results happened TO a
party of Kadoka young people as
they were coming up out of the
bad Lands over the Chamberlain Pass
Saturday evening when the automo-
bile they were in crashed down an
embankment over thirty feet in depth.
Francis Rounds was driving the j.
M. Trimble Ford automobile with
a party composed of the Misses Kell-
ing and French and Messrs. w. III.
Sherwood and John Craven, and they
were returning from Weta by the way
OF the Chamberlain Pass, the road
oyer this pass being narrow and lined
on each side with deep ,ditches and
gulleys. WheHnear the tor Of the
Pass and on2the steepest port of the
road the engine went dead and the
car began backing down wthe road.
Francis applied the brakes but they
refused co hold and the car kept on

making it impossible for any of the
occupants to get out or for the driver
to see the road back of him and steer
the car to the bottom of the Pass.
The automobile had slid for some
distance when it left the road and
plunged over the steep embankment.

below. and but for deep hole in the
ground where the machine tipped ov-
er the driver, at least, would have un-
doubtedly have had the life crushed
out Of him by being pinned under the
steering wheel.
After extracting themselves from
the ruins the party called at the AL

from the scene OF the accident. and
he hitched up and brought them on

ere shaking up and terrible strain
on their nerves the occupants were
uniniured. Their escape was nothing
short of marvellous, and none of the
party care to repeat the ordeal.
