Second Inaugural Address.
With malice toward none as his life typified,
And charity sweet, that in blessings abound,
We honor the day with thanksgiving and pride,
The day of his birth-his praises resound.
Though humble his birth and to poverty known
From rasplitting labor to chief magistrate climbed
In the heart of the nation he builded throne,
That loyalty peace and forgiveness combined
A nation with reverence bows to his name,
And halls him as Saviour of Union and Home
The slaves once in bondage now free from the chain
His memory cherish tablets of stone
In palace in cottage on monument fair
His name is engraved his virtues extolled,
The pages of history his work declare
In silvery brightness-in letters of gold.

A little over four Decades ago,
new idea. a new movement, daWned
upon the horizon of United States
notifies. This new movement made
itself known. throughout the nation as
the exponent of the doctrine OF social
ism, It proclaimed to the working
class that it's salvation lay only IN the
doctrines it upheld. This new move
ment soon took shape as a political
party whose aim was to bring about
the Socialist Commonwealth, and has
isince done wonders in educating the
masses.
Socialism shows the present order
of things to be wrong and pernlclous.
Armed with the irrefutable law OF
social evolution, it fearlessly states the
fact that Capitalism has served It's
function in the evolution OF mankind
and is doomed to-Rass away. =
With the abolition of capitalism. pro
fit-making will disappear. All things
necessary for the welfare of the ma
ton will be produced for use and not
for profit. They will belong to- the ma
Iion-to the people who produce them.
Poverty, the outgrowth of capital
ism, will be no more. Fathers will not
be forced to slave at their jobs for a
miserable wage. They will have the
opportunity of seeing their children
each day of the week; OF having pleas
ant chats and games with them, there
by Strengthening the bonds OF mutual
respect and love- Mothers will no
longer be separated from their Off
spring, to spend their years toiling at
a machine and becoming old and weak
before their time. The flower of the
nation-our youth-will be free to
bloom in its full beauty and add cheer
and happiness to thea environment.
It's economic welfare being assured
by the government, the youth will
have the opportunity to attend educa-
tional institutions and get all the posi-
BILE knowledge Of life and the world we
live in. Those who are born with a
Craving for music, for art, for journal
ism, for any other profession, will be
given free and equal opportunity to
cultivate their abilities and become
useful human beings.
| The youth, to whom the future be-
longs, will have time to think of char
acter building and identifying life.
The craving for >oppulence will not
fbIemish their clear minds, for they
will be assured of a comfortable living
the whole of their lives.
Socialism is wonderful movement
t inspires the believer with a con
seriousness of the fact that he is a
part of. the great worldwide movement
which seeks to do away with misery
and want; to install peace and real
freedom instead; which strives to res
cue the fruit of our nation, the young
generation, from degradation and fail
ure. There can be no doubt as tc
the truth of a statement by Bernard
Shaw some time ago;
ANY person, under the age of thirty
who, having any knowledge of. the ex
listing social order, is not revolution

"Will there be cooperative farming
when Socialism comes, or will farming
be more or less an individual matter,
as at PRESENT."
While the Socialist party has no de
finite answer to this question, the very
principle of cooperation itself sug-
gests taat farming will be done CO.
operatively under Socialism. The. ex-
change of ideas, the study of soils, of
atmospheric action on grains and
fruits, the termination of pests and
how to fight them; the solving of all
these problems can be accomplished
with far. greater ease than under the
present system of semi individual
farming.

Two million, five hundred thousand
children under sixteen years OF age Ia
Dor in our factories, mills and mines.
Two million, five hundred thousand
boys and girls daily shut off from the
life-giying rays of the suns from the
loving care of their mothers; from
play and from air. =
Two million, five hundred thousand
little ones daily deprived Of opportunl-
ties for education, driven by the hor-
rible whip of economic necessity to
toll, so that they may aid their unfor-
tunate parents to preserve the unity
Of the family.
The prevailing system of society
worships profit as its dlety and IS
shamlessly bringing the lives OF the
youngest Of our nation to its after.
Some of us are horrofed at this.
What are we to do to remove this
hideous blot from the nation? What
means are to be employed in order
tkat we may free the young from the
clutches of this ulgy monster-the
Moloch of our twentieth century civil
zation?,
to these most urgent queries. Reforms
grow in abundance-they come from
all sources Some cry for charity for
the poor. Some want picnics for the
downtrodden. Churches seek to assist
the unemployed with supper, and a
bed. Might schools are established fol-
the young wage slaves in the hope OF
developing their intellectual faculties
/ Clubs and settlements, with the pur
/, pose of cultivating social feelings
among the young, are everywhere or
j ganizeG ~
Unfortunately, however, all efforts
have failed to solve our problem. The
mind of the young worker, tired and
benumbed at the end of days hard
work, is unable to comprehend and ap
preciate the useful instructions Of
teachers and the Invaluable helpful
ness of knowledge. Being imprisoned
for long hours in the noxious mills and
shops, the young people have not the
energy nor desire to make use OF the
few hours of leisure they have during
fthe evening, and squander them away
uselessly. Degradation is growing.
| Our reformers do not succeed, tt
any appreciate extent, in bringing
forth the youth from the slums; they
fail to develop mind or body of oul
children, or help them grow into
wholesome manhood.
When one considers the question
how can they? They are, or pretend
to be, blind to the fact that bad results
are the outcome Of certain causes
that evils cannot be removed unless
the scource from which they spring il
abolished. They dodge the real issue
They do not conceive that the founda
mental cause for the current evils thai
shame our nation is our system o.
production and distribution. Not know
ing or not caring to understand The
actual causes, they are impotcnt il
their efforts to make the lives of thu
young of more value to themselves and
to society.

"Who will pay the interest on bonds
under Socialism,"
The ultimate, or real socialist sys-
tenn, will have to do with bonds, or
like systems: primarily, however, if a
certain idea is adopted in acquiring the
industries, kind of bopding may pos
sibly be resorted to by the Socialists;
but this possibility is quite remote,
and is becoming more so every day
bonding, even in the preliminary
stages of Socialism, will only be pos
sible if it is decided by the mass of
the people to buy the industries.
The bonding question and the ques-
tion of who shall pay the interest
thereon, under Socialism, is only a
.~tBug-a-boo," the purpose of which is
to keep the people from investigating

"What will be the effect Of Socialism
upon the various sciences? Will it
not have a tendency to retard them!''
The whole purpose of Socialism is
to make the sciences REALLY SC1EN-
TIFIC and at the same time simplify
them. There is a scientific principle
in everything, but the lay-mind has
been so stunted by oppression under
| the,scapitalist system that it is not
at this Unacceptable of grasping it..
|, The culture system under Socialism
will be of such character as to reach
and develop, normally, all faculties In
mans mentality, and then, instead OF
Socialism proving hinderance to the
sciences, it will prove an impetus to
them-all the world will share proper
tionately in them.
"Will farming be done individually,
when Socialism, or will cooperation be
the principle of agriculture?
The question of whether or not farm
ing will be done comparatively or in
dividually under Socialism is one that
is left, more or less, to the future for
an answer; but when the principle of
collective action has been understood
there is hardly any doubt but what all
producers-farmers included-win de-
sire it.
l tshould be borne in mind con-
stantly that the PRACTICE OF THE
EXCHANGE OF IDEAS-one of the
principles of co-operation-will, when
developed, prove to be one of the
greatest of boons. Of course, when
Socialism has been established there
will be agricultural experts, whose sole
duty it shall be to impart knowledge
to the farmers; but minor problems,
not particularly dealt with by experts,
will present themselves from time to
time and it is in settling these that
cooperative farming will prove espe-
cially beneficial. First-hand knowledge
of soils, how to up-build and maintain
them; atmospheric action on them;
how, when and where the various
pests are propogated, and how to ex-
terminate them. All these and .thous-
ands of others must be accomplished
! without government, as rule, and
this can best be done under co-opera-
tive farming.
