up there at II p. m. as we did, made

Last Monday we opened our big

now the kids are soaking in 1t half

I'll bet it is pretty at Webster City
now. This is May, and 1t is nice and
warm by this time. I'd like to take
a walk with you. 1t is a nice hot,
sticky day here, but a nice breeze
coming into my room redeems the
day. If it were not for the breeze
here life would not seem worth the
effort, and sometimes the breeze fails

the most "effortless" way OF COM

and people picnieked in the city

features but this and part of the 9TH

the rainstorm. Three bands played
in the big parade. The Charles City

fancy drills for which they compet-
ed with many other lodges. The
speakers of the day were Francis
Korns of the Des Moines M. w. A.

sas City, the Supreme Oracle of the

cieties held meetings.

eyer corrupt, and the wOrk1ngman
has always been in some kind of
servitude. Capital and labor now
occupy in the world rem
nant of the position feudalism for
mally occupied In Europe. They be-
lieved then that the system would
last forever, and SO today do capital
lists believe that their system will
last forever. Capitalism evolved
from feudalism and will die the
same death. Mr.. Debs believes, as
we all believe, that the great change
is coming. hasten or retard it as we
may. There is no rational or logical
argument against industrial democ-
racy.
The speaker asserted that the
working class, which does society's
useful work. has always been the
lower class; the capitalists have
|been the class supreme on the one
hand and the laboring class the one
under subsection on the other. The
|great mass Of humanity has borne
the burdens of the race and died in
despair:
Socialism" said Mr.. Debs. "is de-
|veloping the power OF unity on the
Industrial and political field and is
marching toward democracy. This
party has learned how to be patient
and wait: 1t makes its appeal to the
heart, the soul and intellect and is
increasing in numbers all over the
land. All the forces playing upon
society today are making for social
ism and thousands are being swept
into the movement in spite of them
selves.
"There is not large or success
full capitalist in this country who
believes in competition. The mail
order houses of. Chicago are under
mining and undertaking thousands
|of small merchants who are becom-
ing recruits to socialism. The mod
|ern landlord on the great farms is
reducing large percentage of farm
ers to tenants. Those are our politi-
cal rulers, who mould public senti-
ment to accord with their own in
terests. Socialism, according to the
minds Of socialists. Is not a Utopian
dream but is the theory Of society
based upon evolution-an industrial
democracy. Industrial democracy
versus Industrial despotism makes
for Industrial autocracy. legislate
against trusts as we may. they con-
tinue."
Mr.. Debs denounced the supreme
court, the members OF whom, with
the exception of Louis Brandeis. he
asserted are all under the thumb Of
the capitalists. He pointed to the
dissolution OF the Standard Oil trust
and referred his audience to the
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1916-06-20

price of oil which is still fixed by
the oil magnate. He said "Rocke-
feller did not care in the least
whether republican or a demo-
cratic president is in the chair, he
owns them all, so far as dictation is
concerned. The rich man owns the
tools the poor man works with, is
master Of the work produced, and
has no more useful connection with
industry than if he inhabited some
other country"
"The generality of men do not
think for themselves-others do
their thinking for them and tell
them what to do. A political party
is the expression in political terms
Of the economies of those who COM
pose it, provided only they are intel
ligent enough to understand it,"
He asserted that there is no such
thing as the independent farmer
who works all the year round. So
cialism proposes to put an end to
landlordism and is the only party
proposing to do so. The railroads
should be owned by the people and
used for their benefit. Socialism be-
lieves it is wrong for one man to
stand between another and Gods
soil and levy tribute upon that man
for cultivating that soil. 1t pro-
poses to educate, organize and eman-
cipate the masses of mankind, al
though there is a great deal of pref
udice against the movement.
Mr.. Debs believes that the CAPT
talists control entirely the educa-
tional institutions of America. and
mould the teachings thereof. Social
ism implies the freedom to live. en-
Joy and speak the truth. Here the
speaker described the terrible condi-
tons under which coal Is mined and
proposed the government ownership
Of the mines, coal to be supplied
therefrom at nominal cost. II
governmental ownership of coal
mines obtains, the miners may live
and work under sanitary conditions,
own their own homes. and furnish
them and educate their children.
He sited the instances Of financial
panic in America, giving the dates
and causes: 1919. 1897. 1857, 1873,
1898, 1907, 1918, and asserted that
America would now be in the throes
of a panic were it not for the war in
Europe which America has turned
into profit blood-money.
The present American system, ne
asserted, produced criminals faster
than we can accommodate them. Six
ty years ago the word ''tramps" had
not been coined, but is now an ev-
eryday occurrence. The speaker de-
nounced the system that has made
the tramp and In scathing terms

SATURDAY NIGHT l.
The Speaker was Greeted by Fair
Sized Crowd Address was
Very Entertaining.

/ Quite large crowd greeted
Eugene v. Debs at the opera house
Saturday night and the speaker sue
ceeded in entertaining his audience
for nearly two hours. Mr.. Debs has
hree times been the nominee OF his
party for president and at the cleo
ton of 1912 polled more than $780,
900 votes.
The speaker was introduced by
o. F. Donaldson and the Freeman
Tribune never heard more appro-
pirate introduction of speaker of
national prominence in Webster
City. Mr.. Donaldson simply pre-
sented Mr.. Debs in a half dozen
words, not attempting to take the
time OF the evening in airing his own
opinions. 1t was quite a relief in
the way of introductions.
Mr.. Debs is one of the most fascin-
ating speakers who ever appeared
before a Webster City audience. He
is man OF fine ability and his adj
dress was interesting and entertain
ing and contained much spice and
humor. It is not surprising that he
has been chosen three times to lead
the socialists in presidential con-
tests. He does not deal in cheap
claptrap, nor try to convince people
by appealing to their prejudice. His
main contention is for the brother
hood of mana brotherhood as
preached by Jesus Christ-who was
without wealth and who selected his
disciples from the ranks of the COM
mon people. There is no doubt that
the socialist party has done some
good in the world. While it has
never been able to secure many Of
fees in this country, 1t has never
theless forced or induced other par
ties to enact some ofsthe legislation
1T advocated. 1t may be that some
day the world will be ready for the
industrial methods the socialists adj
vocate. Mr.. Debs said the socialist
is the strongest party in the world.
In fact 1t is the only international
party, and casts 100000 votes.
Socialism is beautiful dream and
Mr.. Debs can tell his dream in a
manner that is highly pleasing.
Following are some of the things

Minority has always ruled-how-

am asking to be reelected to to the office of assessor of Frank lin county and will say that my past work is open to inspection and if the people think that 1 am worthy of the second term I will appreciate their support. Mir. O'Bar says my books are in a mess. This is UNTRUE and he knew it when he said it. He also says my helper is republi- can. This is not true as every one who knows Joe Kirby knows that he is not a republican. O'Bar states that if the people will elect him he Will do the work without any assistance. 1 would like to ask Mir. O'Bar if he ever knew of one man doing the work of the assessors office by himself when both personal and real property were listed 1 don't remember the time, do you?

 Mir. Williams is a graduate of the Magnolia, college and since September 1914, has had charge of the college farm demon stration work, directing the agricultural activities as well as teaching in the agricultural and animal husbandry divisions of that institution.
 It will be recalled that the last levying board failed to make an appropriation to enable this work to be carried on in the county, the plan of the govern ment being to pay one-half of the demonstrators salary pro- vided the county contributes the other half. Several days ago public spirited citizens took the matter up and got busy at soliciting private subscriptions for this purpose, Ozark business men readily contributing $500 and the remainder was secured at Charleston. $500 was raised
