Everywhere beauty and richness of
tone and color, everywhere warmth
and PLENTY.
And all of this produced BY the
workers, who are by far In the ma
jority, In point Of numbers, and who
regularly, systematically, vote away
these comforts, giving them to their
masters, at the expense of their OWN
families.
| admire the big capitalist in this
having and holding of all these on
joyments. He knows that capitalism
is good thing HIM. lie votes
for it and works for It, Naturally he
wishes to perpetuate 1t.
DO you blame him?
He allows no personal animosities
no prejudice OF race, color, creed OF
nationality to swerve him from 10y
atty to his class, or to the economic
system that gives him and his family
such an abundance AT THE COST
IOF OTHERS LABOR.
He does not practice economy.
He leaves that for those OF us who
do the work,
Why shouldn't they teach US &c
leconomize?
Not long ago a groceryman handed
me several cents in change, remark
ing that one should save the pennies

That is what Rockefeller SAYS.
But l don't KNOW that.
BY doing little computation / find
that if he had started the Standard
Oil business twenty-seven thousand
years ago and had Saved" ten thou
sand pennies, or one hundred dollars
for every day since, counting 1866 days
in the year, he would, by now, just
about have his present fortune.
And he has amassed this number OF
pennies in about fifty years "by say
ling" remember-so he tells us.
And how did he get into possession
of these pennies that he is alleged to
have saved?
That's easy.
Those are the pennies that WE
earned and did not get.

Socialism is not scheme. 1t is a
process.
1t is first and foremost an educa.

1t is essential that we understand

We are voting FOR OR AGAINST
AN INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM.
The capitalist candidates stand for
an industrial system that entails the
most rigid self-denial and relentless
economy, for the workers, in order to
provide MUCH FOR THE FEW.
The Socialist candidates stand for
a system of PLENTY made possible
! by the common ownership of the nat
Iural resources and the machinery of
production, in order to provide MUCH
FOR ALL (who are willing to work. J
If you vote for even a city dog

work of emancipation of the race, or

That is for you to decide.

EVIDENCE

Day after day she stands
With aching back, her busy hands
Smoothing the silks and laces fair
She does not wear
Night after night she climbs up to
her barren den,
Whose dingy walls foretell
The drawn-out torture of the future
years.
She shudders, and her frightened
tears,
Flooding the roses of her skin,
Turn it to parchment, wan and thin
And then
We call together sleek and prosper
Gus men,
Fat-jowled and double-chinned,
To find out why the girl has sinned!

THE Cry For Justice" 1t is a re-

other Socialist books. 1t is a fit
book for anybodys library and is in

truthfully say that no Socialist will

AS rule, women are by nature
neither better nor worse than men,
neither ADLER nor less able.
If, on the average, the women of
today may be somewhat more mar
row and reactionary in their view of
public affairs than are men, that is
because they lack the educating ex-
perience Of actual participation in
public life. Keep them in the status
of political nonentities and they will
continue to be narrow and reaction
airy, and will continue to exercise a
bad influence on politics, none the less
powerful for being indirect. Let them

ness Of those who oppressed the poor
of His day; if His commission from
the Father, and His own injunction
to the disciples and to the church
designed to set in motion a force
that should destroy these inequalities
and root up the systems that produced
them, what must be His present in
terest in the sufferings which are
now desolating the earth-and what
does He require and expect from His
followers at this juncture in the great
conflict of the ages? He Is as much
concerned in the people of today as
He was about those whom He blessed
on the hills of Judea.
What do you think is His opinion
of government which has emblazon-
ed over its portals, "All men are Gre
ated equal, and are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights
among them life, liberty and the
, pursuit of happiness"-a government
which, while it acknowledges the
truth nevertheless suffers its poor to
be herded together like cattle and de-
prived of homes upon the earth that
permits the homes of its people to
be presided over by DISTINGUISHED
wives and mothers; that sells indul-
gences, and draws a large part of it's
revenues from the vices of the peo-
pie; that enters into league with
hell and covenant with death, saying
to those who corrupt and defile that
liz they will furnish public revenue
they may debase and impoverish the
people. II you can reasonably Judge
what Christ's opinion of such things
is, may you not readily judge what
your own duty is In such an emer-

Christ left US an infallible test by
which we may judge all men and all
organizations, political and otherwise,
whether they be good or whether they
be bad. If they are striving to relieve
the same classes which He sought to
help; if they are defending the poor
against the encroachments of the rich
and powerful; If they have laid the ak
at the root of the tree of evil that is
taking the life, destroying the happi-
ness and devouring the sustenance of
the people, then they are His CO.

did. But those who Cypress and i'm
poverish the people; those who fos-

glazing contrasts of wealth and pow
erty-they are not in accord with Him
for these things He opposed.
Let US test the present economic
situation with this rule. Whence this
widespread restitution? These idle,
hungry, homeless thousands? These
two million little ones of whom He
said suffer little children to come
unto me"-these little ones bending
and breaking their bodies in mill and
sweat shop? 1t would seem that it
is only necessary to show to right
minded people, particularly to the dis
ciples, the tree that is producing such
fruit and they would join hands to
pluck it up in the twinkling of all
eye-that they would never stop until
they had destroyed it root and branch.

the unequal conditions which He
found among men; if He deplored the
poverty and denounced the heartless-

The spirit of the age is toward
organization and cooperation.
We believe that a permanent
business organization in Lancas-
ter would be a splendid thing for
the town and we also believe
that the demand for an organi-
zation must come in the form of
an enthusiastic endorsement by
the business men of the town.
A stream cannot flow higher
than its source and an organiza-
zion that is permanent must
nave for its source the united
effort of every member. When
Ehe people want it they will have
It.
