Socialism Defined By ].
L. Stark. State Secty

Socialism is a movement of the
people who are imbued with the
ideal of the Brotherhood of Man
OF Earth.
Its movement which strives to
establish Cooperative common
wealth, organized for use. in
stead of for PROFIT, as it is to-
day.
Socialism declares that Capital
is the result of labor applied to
the land and machinery and the
forces of nature, and By the
that very act of Labor, rests the
Justice of their demand for the
collective ownership.
Money is only the representa-
tive or vehicle used to exchange
commodities and deserves no
more respect nor consideration,
than a spade or wheelbarrow.
Socialist seek to educate the
people into a clear cut under
standing of how wealth is pro-
duced and would take over by
the legal enactment of law, all
the principal means of product
ion and distribution, such as
railroads. coal mines. factories
and mills in the same way that
the post Office and parcel post is
run by the government and
those utilities would be operated
at cost of production, which
would lower the cost OF produc-
ten and and increase the wages
OF labor.
Society organized on that kind
Of basis would resolve ittelf into
a great industrial commonwealth
supplying work for all who wish
to work and paying them wages
enough for a few hours work to
supply them with an abundance.
Capitalists were necessary in

organizing big combines, but
they are no longer needed. as
they have fulfilled their mission
and like all other organisms
which has NJ longer a useful
function must perish, that newer
and better forms may take their
place.
The first steps to take is to
educate TIE majority of the peo-
pie in voting for a political party
pledged to legislate Tor this kind
Of a social order. When a suf.
fcient number of Socialists have
been elected to control Legis-
laturss, Congress ard the law
making departments of our gov
eminent, it will then be very
easy to settle how we will take
over these giant Trusts.
The powder of taxation is one
the most powerful weapons in
the world and once the Socialist
get control OF the powers OF
government, they can collect
enough taxes off Of watered
stock and millionalies to pay for
all the railroads, and other in
dustries owed to day by people
who don't use them.
This viii be ltgIl and right,
as the will of the People is King
Of this Nation.
Things that are publicly used
should be publicly owned.
Things that are privately used
should be privately owned. This
would give every one a chance
to own their own home But il
would not encourage PEOPLE to
want to Own me elses home
This will eliminate poverty and
make prosp rty perpetual.

Chains Guard the
Panama Locks

The huge locks OF the Panama ca.
nal are guarded by massive chains
stretched across the channel. No
vessel can crash into the gates at
any OF the locks, because OF these
tenders, placed 20 feet from each
gate, and near the~Surface OF the
water. II the chains are struck by
a boat, they gradually yield TO the
force, paying out TO a certain dis
lance, which depends upon the VIC
lence OF the impact.
The mechanisms which regulate
the chain tenders are installed on
either wall. A system OF hydraulic
cylinders is used for raising and
lowering the chains. The action OF
the fender when struck by boat is
modified in part by the friction pro
duced in the machinery, but mainly
by the resistance produced BY water
flowing through valves Popular

Where Is Our Interest In
This Great Conference.

Unlike other peace organizations. the Neutral
conference outcome OF the Ford Peace expedi'
ton. now sitting at Stockholm, is not willing TO
wait for military exhaustion and consequent
armistice before taking action OF any sort.
The conference is primarily for the purpose Of
advertising peace" and bringing what pressure
IL can upon the belligerent countries for an ad
justment Of terms and cessation Of hostilities.
This conference has presented 10 the various
nations an appeal.
II is brief and may have effect. but II is
epoch making in history for it is the first con-
certed effort OF citizens 10 place before the Of
fetal governments OF warning countries state
ment of constructive program and an appeal
for its adoption.
1t has deep significance IN that it emphasizes
the fact that the people now able TO make
themselves heard and felt even in autocratic
countries and that they cannot be set aside as
so many non-entitieS or put out or the way
where they can no longer be troublesome.
The neutral countries OF Europe. led by the
United States. have given voice 10 the principles
OF humanity as against this war OF commercial
supremacy.
The appeal is based upon the following princi-
pie:
The right OF nations 10 decide their own fate
instead of having their territory transferred
without the consent of the population; guaran-
afforded development on equal terms; freedom
of the seas; effective parliamentary control Of
foreign policies; 10 dispace secret treaties and
secret diplomacy international organization
founded upon law and justice. TO include
agreement 10 submit all disputes between states
for peaceful settlement; disarmament by inter
national agreement. a world congress composed
OF both belligerents and neutras 10 concern il
self with more than the immediate questions
arising out of the war such the guaranteeing
OF political freedom u special nauonalities unit
ed with other people.
The appeal itself includes the restoration of
Belgium; the return of the occupied French ter
ritory; reconsideration OF the question of
Alsace and Lorraine. the independence OF Ser
bia and Montenegro.
The principles laid down will include the con
sideration OF the question of the union of Poland
as nation: autonomy for Armenia; the interna-
tionalzation of certain water ways. such the
Bosphorus and Dardanelles.
The German colonies are TO be returned and
Germany's access TO the east guaranteed.
Backed by sufficient public sentiment this ap-
peal will carry some weight
In spite OF its avowed interest in peace, the
United States takes less interest in this confer
ence than any country in Europe.

Saving the COrnstalks

taken through the schools, shows
that not a single farmer burned his
stalks this spring. Two or three
years ago cornstock bonfires were a
common sight in Kankakee county
in the spring. Since then the coun-
ty advisor has been talking or the
value OF cornstalks as a source of
organic matter, and the result is
that the wasteful practice Of burn
ing the stalks has been entirely
eliminated.
