SOCIALIST PLATFORM.

The Socialist party of the United
States declare that the capitalist sys-
tenn has outgrown it's historical func.
ton, and has become utterly incapable
of meeting the problems now confront.
ing society. We denounce this out.
grown system as incompetent and cor.
rupt and the source of unspeakable mis-
cry and suffering to the whole working
class.
Under this system the industrial
equipment of the nation has passed into
absolute control of plutocraey Which
exacts an annual tribute of billions OF
dollars from the producers. Unafraid
of any organized resistance, it tretches
out it's greedy hands over the still un-
developed resources of the nation-the
land, the mines, the forests and the
water powers of every state in the un-
ion.
In spite of the multiplication of Ia
bor-saving machines and improved
methods in industry which cheaper the
cost of production, the share of the pro-
ducers grows ever less, and the prices
OF all the necessities of life steadily in
crease. The boasted prosperity of this
nation is for the owning class alone. To
the rest 1t means only greater hardship
and misery. The high cost of living is
felt in every home. Millions of wage
workers have seen the purchasing power
OF their wages decrease until life has
become desperate battle for mere ex-
istence.
Multitudes of unemployed walk the
streets of our cities, or trudge from
state to state awaiting the will of the
masters to move the wheels of indu stry.
The farmers in every state are plum
dered by the increasing prices eyacted
for tools and machinery and bF'extor-
tionate rents. freight rates andS storage
charges.

Following is letter from Mr.. Rank
in regarding matter:
Etna Mines, Tenn, June -. 1914.
The Sequachee News,
Sequachee. Tenn.
Mr.. Editor:
Am sending you $500 to pay for
printing the Socialist Platform. did
not intend to have it printed in the
county campaign for the reason that
did not feel able to spare the printer &
fee, but have received an urgent re-
quest to have it set up in the paper
from several parties who are snxious
to know just what this party really
stands for. In order to accommodate
them have decided TO have it pub
lished. l am sending you one letter
l have received in reference to the
matter and wish you would print it.
He is entirely welcome to all the bad
things he can pick out of the platform.
Yours truly,
HUGH L. RANKIN.
Letter to Mr.. Rankin regarding pub
LEGATION of Platform
Mr.. Hugh Rankin,
Etna, Tenn.
Dear Sir:
l notice the Sequachee News kicks
for S. 90 before it can print that So
cialist Platform, and l don't blame the
editor much for it is a lot of work to
put up the type and he ought to have
pay. | have noticed a lot in his paper
about socialism in the last few months
and am anxious to know what Social
ism stands for anyway. / have heard
it assailed by all manner and kinds of
people who charge that it advocates
free love, is in favor Of the breaking
up of the family and is positively un-
christian in its teachings and practic-
es. If it is purely new political par
ty it is not SO very strange that other
political parties should be so hard
down on it, and anyway, it surely
would not damage or hurt anybody for
the platform to be printed if the mon
ey can be raised among the friends of
Socialism to pay the bill at the print
er's shop.
Another thing it might be we'll to
mention; if the platform is printed in
a newspaper it will show whether or
not socialism is against the purity OF
the home, if it stands for free love, or
If it is an enemy to christianity
/ knew your father and nearly all
the Rankin kith are amongst my ac-
quaintances and if the new political
party stands for what they say it does
as set forth above, cannot for the
life of me see how you can be SO
strong for it.
Anyway, see if you can arrange to
have the platform set up in the papers
SO people can see what it stands for
and what it does not stand for. 1t
will show what they stand for and we
can then compare it with the plat
forms of all the other political parties
and whichever one advocates the prin-
ciples that will be the best for the
greatest number of people, that one
will we ally ourselves with. The Re-
publican and the Democratic plat
forms set forth their principles in
each campaign and go before the peo-
pie asking for support, Let the Social
lists go and do likewise. 1t is not fair
to ask us to support anything that we
have not heard of enough to know
what it stands for. Let it be printed,
and then we will know what you are
always talking about. If it even men
lions free love, disrupted families, or
says one word against the christian re-
ligion, for one, will have nothing to
do with it. Let it be printed.

James Stillman once received a
group OF British financiers in his i'm

himself, saying that he had important
business. "But you can use my big

a splendid $4,000 machine that stood
outside. They accepted his invitation
and started off.
A few hours later the Britons were
speeding down a hill on the Hudson
river drive. Suddenly they spied a
lone cyclist toiling up the incline. He
was pumping hard, but making
progress. AS they neared him one OF
the Britishers said:
