Now, Miss Barton, having refused to

The proprietor OF the place was a de

soft heart that wore the makeup OF a
Crouch and when Mary offered him a
ring that had been her mothers, as a
pledge for our board, he kind OF gulped
and handed over the key to our room
without a word"

We went upstairs and had a little

dimple showing as she spoke. Then,
having powdered our noses and cheered
up, I left Mary resting while I went to
the head OF the stairs to see what was
doing in the office. and what had hap

Yes; he was playing leading role

LOOKING FOR WORK

Everywhere men complain about
work; even boys and girls in school or
business find work tedious and irk-
some, but it ism the work half so much
as their own lack of physical strength
that makes it hard.
Rich blood, strong lungs and health
full digestion make work pleasurable
in business, in school or even house
work, and if those who are easily tired
who are not sick, bat weak and ner-
vous-would just take SCOTS Emul-
sion for one month and let its pure
concentrated food create richer blood
to pulsate through every artery and
vein--let it build structure of healthy
tissue and give you vigorous strength
you would find work easy and would
look for more. Insist on SCOTS.

THE HE'LL OF WAR
BY Rev. Geo. w. Slater, Jr.

BY Rev. Geo. w. Slater, Jr.
Lately l have been Illuminating on
war. | have been thinking of it's
character cause, effect and results.
Recently, by the demagogues, much
has been made of the black mans
prowess on bloody battlefelds, there
by playing upon his imaginations
emotions and yanities, thus melting
him to the support of certain men
and political issues.
The cities, villages and country
roads are placarded with excellently
designed Autographs containing
smooth, tempting phrases that are
calculated to enrich the thrifty, in
telligent, strong, yet jobless young
man to forsake the training and ac-
tiyities of civil life for that of kill
ing other men.
I have been comparing the impress
sion which these glowing panegyrics
and beautiful Autographs make with
the Impressions which are made by
the real experiences as related by
history, and I find that the facts of
experience contradict that impress
sion which is made by the politician
and the Autographs
The actual experience cries: "War
is hell" l have asked myself the
question: "Why is there war, any
way?" The world answers my ques-
ton by saying that war is to defend
the honor of the country; to protect
its weak; to maintain great and good
principles. To this answer of my
query, the facts reply: otis a lie"
If the verdict of facts is to be final,
then why is there war? To this fur

Others want us to try to Dust" the
trusts. So we have tried that for so
years. And the more we bust the
trusts, the more the trusts bust us.
So we conclude that the Socialists
are right when they say that the best
way to regulate the trusts and the
best way to bust the trusts is for the
nation to own the trusts. This would
bring about the union of ownership
and the use of the means of produc-
ton. Those who must use the rail
roads, the mines, the mills and the
factories would own them collectively
through the government Those who
owned these essentials of life, but did
not use them except as a club with
which to rob the workers, would be
eliminated The club would be taken
away from them.
All could find work All would be
freed from robbery and exploitation,
nobody could live off the labor of any
body else, and economic justice could
be established.

WORKERS AND STRIKERS
BY Carl D. Thompson

A miner without a mine, a shoe
maker with a shoe factory, farmer
without land, are in the same predica-
ment as is the hunter without a gun.
They cannot follow their vocations
unless they get the use OF capital or
land belonging to the other fellow
The heart and soul of capitalism is
the separation of ownership and labor
and the resultant division of mankind
in two classes, one of which owns the
means of life and dos not use them
and the other that uses the means of
life and does not own them. This ar
rangement permits few people to
live without work and forces the
many to work without getting liv-
ing
The aim of Socialism is to bring
about union between ownership and
labor by making the means of pro-
duction the common property of all
the people.
The principal means of life are
controlled by great aggregations of
capital commonly called trusts. These
giant combinations, by forcing the
wages of labor down to the very min
imum of subsistence and by charging
for their products all that the traffic
will bear, have become a serious men
ace to the we'll being of all American
people, and all kinds of remedies are
advocated against the evils Of monop-
oily.
Some want us to regulate the trusts.
We have tried that for fifty years.
And the more We regulate the trusts,
the less we have to eat and wear
and the more the trusts gouge us.

WHY AN ORGANIZATION?

Socialists are VIGOROUSLY critical
and their criticisms are not limited to
their opponcnts not by any means
Self-criticism, or, at any rate, crlti-

gani2ation is their longest suit.
Recently there has been much of
this subjective criticism inside the

terprises are undergoing clinic. Bar

all personalities and factionalism be
dropped and that we address our
selves, first of all, to the determine
ton of the question: Why do we have

prime function?
In the opinion of this paper, the
prime function of the Socialist party

Our rulers sympathize with the
rulers of Europe. Their interests are
identical. The unemployed masses
here if put to useful work, would pro-
of life, that the sight of such abund-
ance would render them dissatisfied
unless they would get the benefit of
their product. To put them into the
army cuts out their productiveness
and keeps others busy maintaining
the warriors. That's what the rulers
of Europe did. But they could not
keep all idle busy manufacturing arm
ament, the idle began to be restless,
hence the war.
"The war is destroying the idle
army and much of labor's product
This will safeguard the present rulers
in possession of their jobs for another
generation they think. By the time
the things now destroyed are replaced
and the horrors of war forgotten, the
next generation of rulers will be ex-
pected to shift for itself to keep their
heads crowned. The specter of idle
men providing means of self-employ-
ment and thus eliminating the idle
rich from the free meal ticket class,
haunts the American capitalist as it
did the crowned heads of Europe.
That is why they want much arma-
ment and a great army. That is why
they want war"
