ORATORY.

A comrade who was selected to pre-
side, desiring to do the job with credit
to himself and the local, committed to
memory his Introductory remarks,
and dressed as he deemed proper for
the occasion, in long Prince Albert
coat, with hand thrust in his breast,
he struck what he considered a dra-
matte attitude and began:
Friends and fellow citizens: Were
l gifted with the oratory of Demos
themes; had I the wit and satire of a
Henry Clay, the magnetism and logic
of an Abraham Lincoln, Td-Pd-Pd-

ABOUT DIVIDING UP.

In a school room wise teacher
placed a beautiful rose to brighten the
day for her children. Soon, the boys
and girls began to clamor for the rose,
each begging the teacher for the sole
possession of it. "To give it to any
one boy or girl would be unjust to all
the others" said the teacher. "Be-
sides, it would be unwise. for whoever
obtained it could not get more of it's
beauty than now. / cannot divide it,
for if I do the rose will be destroyed
and each child will have a worthless
petal only; there will be no rose. To
gether, we can enjoy it.; in a real
sense each of us owns the rose" So
cial property is like that. 1t cannot
be owned by any individual without
ruin. Yet each individual can own
the whole of it's real utility and enjoy
it's full benefits-John Spargo, Mod
ern Socialism, p. 122.

SOCIALISM AND THE INDI-
VIDUAL.
(By John Spargo.)

(By John Spargo)
"And the right of man to labor and his
right to labor in joy
Not all your laws can deny that right,
nor the gates of hell destroy"
Socialism does not propose to sur
round life with a net work of laws in
the vain hope that it will make men
perfect and remodel human nature by
legal enactment, but it does propose
to Destroy as far as that is possible
by collective effort, all those anti
social conditions which compel men
to live vain, hopeless, sordid, brutal
and unworthy lives. 1t does not ex-
pect, nor will it attempt, to override
the great laws of human nature and
make men equal, but it does make the
proposal that all those things which
deny equal OPPORTUNITIES and Gre
ate UNNATURAL inequalities should
be destroyed. 1t claims for every
child born into the world its heirship
to the vast resources of wisdom and
knowledge so painfully gathered by
the race through long ages; it claims
for every child equal opportunity for
the fullest and freest development of
all it's powers, leaving only natural in
CAPABILITIES to manifest themselves.
That is the EQUALITY" of Social
ism To be more specific the FORM
of government at which Socialism
aims, the form of government essen
tial to its very existence, is complete
political democracy, resting on the
broad basis of adult suffrage. 1t thus
elevates woman to the plane of po-
litical and social equality with man.
Industrially the state-no longer rep
resentative of a class but of the whole
nation-will be as democratic indus
trially as it is politically.

WILSON SEES LIGHT.

No, not President Wilson-that
might be too optimistic-but our Sec
rotary of Labor.
Witness the follwing:
Organized workers are seeking to-
solve the great question or problem
the equal distribution of wealth. Great
strides have been made toward this
goal, which would settle all troubles
for all times. Every step toward the
solving of this problem-to get for
labor the equivalent of what it pro-
duces-is sanctioned by the trade I'M
ion movement IF THE SOCIALIST
PARTY HAS FOUND OR CAN FIND
A SOLUTION OF THIS PERPLEX-
ING PROBLEM, THAT is THE
STEP WHICH SHOULD BE TAKEN
UP BY THE WORKERS OF THE
COUNTRY"
We would amend the word equal in
the first sentence of the above to
equitable. That is more like it. Will
son strikes us as sincere IellOW.
He recognizes the relation between
drink and overwork; he wants a ma
tional information bureau on the unem-
ployed; he sees that even under pres
ent conditions, owners of factory and
land hold the title through social con-
sent, and have, therefore, social obIi-
cations which, through a mistaken
notion of full ownership, they dsre-
gard. He warns employers against
procuring strikebreakers under false
pretenses.
Workingmen, take Wilson's advice.
Look into Socialism and you will find
it just what you have been needing all
these long, weary years.-The Leader
(Mass.).

What Is Capital?.

Lands. tools, raw materials and ar
tlcles of consumption may be capital,
provided they perform two functions,
First, they must be used TO rob the
worker of his product Second, the
product must be sold at profit I'm
less social conditions are developed to
the point where things perform these
two functions, they are no more CAPT
tai than the bow and arrow of the
Indian or the stored-up honey of the
bees.
Bearing in mind that a thing can
not be capital unless it exploits the
worker by separating him from the
product of his toll, we can readily
understand that capital could not exist
until conditions were ripe for exploita-
ton to take place. To talk about CAPT
tai during primitive days is mere bun
combe. In the savage tribe, land,
tools, weapons, etc, were simply
means of production, not capital
Caves. tents and huts were used for
shelter, not to exact rent Nuts, tub
ers. etc, were articles of use, not OBJ
iects for sale These things were not
used to exploit any class and there
fore they could not be capital
In the days of antiquity, when com
merce began to be developed, we see
form of capital known as financial
or money lenders capital, This cap
ital was used by the merchants and
consisted in buying as cheaply as pos
sible and selling as dearly as possible,
thereby making a profit. No other
capital existed. Neither was this mer-
chants capital used to exploit the
labor Of free workers, as all labor
then was slave labor. The small land
owners, to whom a failure of crops,
the death of horse or COW or n war
meant a great loss, soon became the
prey of the mony lenders. Money, as
a commodity, was used to make pro-
fit in buying and selling, and to realize
more money by loaning to those in
need In short, in those days com
merce ruled industry Just as today in
dustry rules commerce.
During feudal days, the serfs and
craftsmen owned their means of pro-
duction. The serfs owned the soil
they titled and the craftsmen the tools
and materials of their respective
trades. Thus they could not be as
mercilessly exploited as the free"
laborer of today.

WILLARD ON SO
CIALISM.

In an address before the national
w. c. r. u. convention in Buffalo in
1897, Frances E. Willard spoke in part
as follows:
Look about you: the products of
labor are on every hand you could
not maintain for a moment we'll
ordered life without them; every OBJ
iect in your room has in it, for dis
corning eyes, the marks Of ingenious
tools and the pressure of labor's hands.
But is It not the crulest injustice for
the wealthy, whose lives are surround
ed and embellished by labor's work, to
have a superabundance of the money
which represents, the aggregate of
labor in any country, while the labor
err is kept so steadily at work that he
has no time to acquire the education
and refinements of life that would
make him and his family agreeable
companions to the rich and cultured?
"The reason why / am a Socialist
comes in just here.
II would take, not by force, but by
the slow process of lawful acquisition,
through better legislation, as the out
come of n wiser ballot in the hands of
men and women, the entire plant that
we call civilization, all that has been
achieved on this continent in the four
hundred years since Columbus wend-
ed his way hither, and make it the
common property of all the people, re-
curing all to work with their hands
to give them the finest physical de-
yelopment, but not to become burden
some in any case and permitting all
TO share alike in the advantages of
education and refinement. | believe
this to be perfectly practical, and, in
deed that any other method is simply
relic of barbarism.
81 believe that competition is
doomed, The trust, whose single OBJ
iect is to abolish competition, has
proved that we are better without than
with 1t, and the moment corporations
control the supply of any product they
combine. What the Socialist desires
is that the corporation of humanity
should control all production. Beloved
comrades, this is the frictionless way;
it is the higher way; it eliminates the
motives for a selfish life; it enacts
into our everyday living the ethics of
Christ's gospel Nothing else will do
it; nothing else can bring the glad day
of universal brotherhood
ooh, that I were young again, and
it would have my life! 1t is Gods
way out of the wilderness and into the
promised land. 1t is the very marrow
of Christ's gospel. 1t is Christianity
applied"

BLOW FOR THE FEOERALS.
Major Maenates Signing Up Players
Drafted Secretly.

Cincinnati, Ohio Sept. 17.-The an
nouncement that there will be no open
meeting of the national baseball COM
mission this year to conduct the draft
ing of players from the minors to the
major leagues is taken by persons
well versed in baseball doings to mean
that the powers of organized baseball
have dealt the Federal league a hard
blow
1t is understood that the drafting
has been done in secret, and those
clubs which drew players from the
minors now have representatives out
signing up the players, thereby balk-
ing the Federals in any attempt they
may make to secure the young talent.
1t is understood the contracts to be
offered will stand the tests of the
courts.
AS result of the secret draft,
names of drafted players will not be
announced until all have been signed
for 1915, so the Federals will not be
able to grab them.
Every effort has been made to keep
the secret draft quiet. Minor league
club owners have not even been let in
on the deal, and do not know the
names of the players already drafted
by the majors

EUROPEAN WAR MAY
BREAK UP NORTHERN %
LEAGUE NEXT YEAR.
:: = = = :: :. :. :. :: :. :. = =. !. :.

Grand Forks, Sept. 1.-THE Euro
pean war is likely to break up the
Northern league, if long continued, as
neither Winnipeg nor Fort William can
he counted on as members of the cir
cult next year in the event that Eng
land still is at war; That, at least, is
the concensus of opinion around the
circuit, and it is not likely that definite
steps will be taken for next year until
the war situation has developed more
thoroughly, and its effect upon the
Canadian members of the circuit is
better known.
Neither Winnipeg. which was the
financial backbone of the league in the
season just ended, nor Fort William
could be counted on as strong i'm at
tendance next year if the war con-
tinues. The effect on the attendance
at Winnipeg during the last stages of
this years race was evident, even with
the team battling for the pennant.
With Winnipeg out, both Grand
Forks and Fargo would likely abandon
the league, as the two North Dakota
cities would be out on branch by
themselves, with mileage features too
great for satisfactory solution.
AS to Winona it is not to be sup
posed that it would take on baseball
again in the event that Winnipeg
abandoned the circuit. Winona drew
only 10000 paid admissions at home
this season, while nearly half the peo-
pie the club played to on the road were
Winnipeggers.
