fixing his legal liability SO that he can
readily obtain insurance against the

cilitating his obtaining compensation

There was a blazing fire raging in
the fireplace as Mrs. Poole was stand

its warmth to the full. Suddenly and
without warning her clothing blazed
up and she was enveloped in flames.
She made heroic efforts to smother
the blaze, but without success. Her
cries brought her hubsand from his

subdued the flames, but not before
she was horribly burned about the
body, her clothing falling in burning
shreds from about her. Grave fears
are felt for her recovery.

HOW THE RICH MAY BE SAVED
go and Sell That Thou Hast, and
Give 70 the Poor"

l wonder how many true christians
there are that truely understand the
correct meaning OF most wonderful
words that Jesus used in explaining
to the rich how they might be saved !!
go and sell that thou hast, and give
to the poor"
III all the rich were willing to sell
what they have how would the poor
be able to buy what the rich have to
sell? This problem is very simple If
understood in it's true light and mean
ing First, we must understand that
Jesus, as well as all the other great
Hebrew prophets, was a great labor
agitator, and at all times administer
ing and preaching TO and for the poor,
and warning the rich or those persons
in control of the means for which the
poor must live or even exist.
Jesus sermon to the rich must be
clearly understood. Many, no doubt
believe that II had million dollars
and gave it all to the poor l would be
considered a real holy and righteous
follower of Christ The Lord did not
say Give to the poor and will make
you holy" but he said, Go and sell
that thou hast, and give TO the poor"
This is the way in which the poor
would come into possession of the
means of their salvation, and the rich
would be saved:
We would tax or bond ourselves to
the rich for the necessary amount OF
money to buy what We needed from
the rich, and after we had acquired
these properties the rich would then
be giving us the right TO receive the
full product OF our labor. In other
words, we would collectively buy,
collectively own and democratically
manage the natural resources such as
the minerals, water powers, forests,
transportation and communication
lines, all large scale industries and
such other means as would be neces-
sary for us TO be assured OF the means
OF future happiness and prosperity
in keeping with the true doctrine Of
Christianity
The Socialist party is the only po-
litical party that stands for the things
collectively used to be collectively
owned and democratically managed.
and privately used things shall be
privately owned.
We have few things publicly
owned but they are not democratical-
ly managed
We have always been, and are now.
pledging ourselves for equal suffrage
to both men and women.
Help yourselves and your class by
