SOUND SOCIALIST TACTICS.
by EuGENE V DEBs.


Socialists are practically all agreed
as TO the fundamental principles of
their movement But as to tactics
there Is wide variance among them.
The matter of sound tactics. equally
with the matter of sound principles,
is of supreme importance. The dis
agreement among Socialists relate al
most wholly to tactics. The party
splits which have occurred in the past
have been due to the same cause, and
II the party should ever divide again,
which it is to be hoped It will not, it
will be on the rock of tactics.
Revolutionary tactics must harmon
lie with revolutionary principles. We
In the matter of tactics we cannot
be guided by the presidents of other
countries. We have to develop our
own and they must be adapted to the
American people and to American con-
ditions. am not sure that have the
right idea about tactics; | am sure
only that | appreciate their import
ance, that am open to correction, and
that | am ready to change whenever
find myself wrong.
1t seems to me there is too much
rancor and too little federation among
us in the discussion of our differences.
Too often the spirit of criticism is
acrid and hypercritical. Personal
| animosities are engendered, but opin-
ions remain unchanged. Let us waste
as little as possible of our militant
spirit upon one another We shall
need 1t all for our capitalist friends.
could better hope to succeed with re-
dictionary principles and revolutionary
principles and reactionary tactics.
The matter of tactical differences
should be approached with open mind
and in the spirit of tolerance. The
freest discussion should be allowed
We have every element and every
shade of capitalist society in our
party, and we are in for a lively time
at the very best before we work out
these differences and settle down to
a policy of united and constructive
work for Socialism instead of spend
ing so much time and energy lampoon-
ing one another.

ency far beyond all the reform move
Iments put together. 1t is the Social
ist vote that the powers of evil watch
and fear. AS they see it mounting
they make haste to take the action
that they think will divert the working
class from uniting for its emancipa-
ton, and whatever has been gained
for that class in this country has been
gained chiefly through this influence.
OF those that object to tying them
selves" to one organization, l should
like to know how otherwise but by
organization shall progress be made?
Without close union in a coherent
disciplined definitely purposed or
ganization, all effort for better condi-
tons becomes merely futile and all
radicals are what Bismarck used to
call "a mob of fighting persons"
Organization is the cornerstone and
no less the keystone of success, if we
are ever to win it. l think that the
man that holds out on this ground is
no radical and no real sympathizer
with progress, but just a great egotist
with some idea of winning glory or
distinction or making money from the
radical movement. And with such
there is the least call to be patient.
The essence of this thing is the COM
mon good, and if a man doesn't feel
any part of the cause, and had better
cease to call himself a sympathizer.
All of the objections together are
unworthy of adults. If this thing
could make progress except by sacri-
flee it would give the lie to all hui
man experience and all history Some
of those that are enlisted in it are
sacrificing their lives, some their
time, some their careers, some their
positions, some the chance of provi-
sion against penury.
Compared with this record, the
most wonderful of modern times, the
sacrifice of a mere whim or prejudice
or vanity about joining an organiza-
ton looks small enough.
Anyway l can tell all hesitating and
doubtful brethren from my own expert
ence that when they get inside the
party all their doubts will disappear
and they will regret the time they
wasted outside If a man does moth
ing more than to pay his monthly
dues, l believe that he is doing more
for humanity than all the reformers
and philanthropists in the world. And
the satisfaction OF feeling that he no
longer shirks, that he has taken his
place, that he has protested his faith
and stands in the ranks without skulk-
ing around the suffers wagons. is be
yond all computation.

"Pape's Diapepsin" Ends Stomach
Misery, Indigestion In 5 Minutes.

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested
food, or have feeling of dizziness,
heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad taste
in mouth and stomach headache, you
can get blessed relic, in five minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula, plainly printed on these
fifty-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will understand why dyspep-
tic troubles OF all kinds must go, and
why they relieve sour, out-of-order
stomachs or indigestion in five min
ntes. "Pape's Diapepsin" is harm
less, tastes like candy, though each
dose will digest and prepare for as
similation into the blood all the food
you eat; besides, It makes you go to
the table with a healthy appetite;
but, what will please you most, is
that you will feel that your stomach
and intestines are fresh and clean,
and you will not need to resort to
laXatives or liver pills for biliousness
or constipation.
. This city will have many "Pape's
Dfapepsin" cranks, as some people
will call them, but you will be enthu-
siastic about this splendid stomach
preparation, too, if you ever take it
for indigestion, gases, heartburn,
sourness, dyspepsia, or any stomach
misery.
Get some now, this minute, and rid
yourself of stomach trouble and indi-
gestion in five minutes.

FOR SAVING LIFE At SEA
Danish Inventor Seems to Have Some-
thing Which Has Merit Be-
yond All Others.

It is reported that a substitute for
life boats, which has been recon-
mended to several foreign govern
ments, consists OF a hollow steel globe,
flattened on the bottom and about
eight feet In diameter.
With 16 men inside and supply
OF fresh water and provisions it is
said that this globe draws less than
two feet of water A 12-inch ventilat.
ing pipe can be raised through the top
OF the globe when II is afloat This
pipe can, it is claimed, be drawn in
and the opening quickly closed when
desired. A small sail can be raised
with the aid of the yentilating pipe.
The inventor Of this device is a
Dane. He states that he conceived
the idea on seeing an iron water tank

several lives were lost. st.-Populer Elec.
