COMRADE MAYNARD SHIP
LEY PROVES THAT SOCIAL
ISM is INEVITABLE.
Crowded out last week.

One of the most forceful and in
structive lectures of the city cam
paign was given by Comrade Shipley
last Sunday august 81 at party head
quarters. About eighty of his splen-
did slides were shown, making the
Socialist position so clear that the
most preiudicial bonehead in the
world could not fail to be convinced
The talk began with the showing Of
the primitive hand tools leading up
to the evolution of the machine to its
present perfection, and the consequent
necessity for wars to make new mar
kets for the productions wrought by
this machinery. Comrade Shipley
dwelt for fifteen or twenty minutes
upon the war situation In Europe, and
the death of Comrade Jaures. We
never become tired of these beautiful,
instructive pictures, and hope to be
given another of the kind in the near
future.

A FEW SIMPLE RULES Sell.
DOM REMEMBERED.
lBy Frans Bostrom.l


A Socialist local is not obliged to
take in as a member person who is
Objectionable to its majority
1t may exclude members who are not
desirable.
1t should rid itself of knockers and
cranks.
Heresy hunting is no part of our
program. We are all more or less
faulty and inconsistent in our notions
Of Socialism, but deliberate violation
of our rules and our platform should
never be tolerated.
Majority rule is absolute in the
party and all quarrels can therefore be
settled at once by vote of the local.
Disobedence to majority rule should
be followed by immediate exclusion of
the guilty.
Let it become a privilege to become
a member and it will be easier to keep
up the membership.
DO not believe anything derogatory
about the party or it's members that
you see in n capitalist paper. In 500
cases out of 1000 it is untrue, You
can afford to miss the truth that one
time.
II comrade whispers in your ear
something about another comrade
that savors of SANDER, make him re-
peat it openly on the floor of the local.
Bactbting is always the cause of per-
sonal feuds; personal feuds are the
cause Of death to the small locals and
destroy the usefulness Of the larger
ones.

RELIEVING POVERTY.
Shall the Child OF the State Take the
Burden.

Shall the Child Of the State Take the
Burden.
Excerpt from Compulsory Education,
United States Bureau C. Education
Bulletin 573.)
An argument for the relief Of poe
parents by the State or by private
charity is that the benefit arising from
the labor OF q child is shortllyed, an
his earning capacity is small; and it
he is allowed TO work during his i'm
mature years, his earning capacity
will never be great, for he will always
be an unskilled laborer; he may even
become a burden upon society, since
Il is not likely that he will ever earn
much more than a child. II, on the
other hand, relief is afforded, and the
child Is allowed to attend school and
complete the elementary course Of
study. his earning capacity and his
ability TO advance are increased, thus
taking him out OF class verginE on
pauperism.

opinion Of the child labor law which
was initiated by the labor organz "a.
tions, Farmers Union and Women's
Clubs of the State, and in reply win
say that / have read this law over
very carefully and believe il TO be an
exceptionally meritorious measure.
Several previous efforts have been
made TO induce the legislature TO pass
a law OF this character and while child
labor law is now in the statute books
u Is so poorly drafted that il Is i'm
possible to secure good results from
a. n the proposed law, which is to be
voted upon in the September election,
