paupers in the Socialist colony at
Milton, Oklahoma They, with many
others, we're induced by advertise
ments in the Socialist organ of the
colony to come from all parts of the
state. Now, according to the Live Is
sue, there are children in the colony
who have not been able to attend
school all year because their fathers
could not buy clothes for them, al.
though they have been working every
day. If a man wants clothes for his
family he has to go to the manager
and let his wants be known, but it is
very seldom that the clothes are forth.

men, women or children, is selected
by the manager and not the person
who is to wear it. Some have said
that the Socialist party has nothing
to do with the Milton colony, but the
colony holds charter from the State
organization and it's delegates are
recognized in Socialist conventions.
