THE SPIRIT OF SOCIALISM

A man may have the principles of
Socialism down pat" He may be
able to argue intelligently with an
old party opponent. He may intellec-
tually comprehend the material sig
nificance of Socialism, but unless he
understands the spiritual meaning of
Socialism he does not fully under
stand the most beautiful philosophy
the world has ever known.
No man understands Socialism I'M
less he understands that Socialism
is a movement, of humanitarian as
poets, toward wider human fellow
ship and that there is in this grand
Drotherly movement no room for shall
low selfish men;
That Socialism means, literally and
completely, the unselfish cooperation
of the members of the movement for
the common advancement of the in
terests of all men and all women and
that there is in this glorious cooper
ative movement no room for the sell
fish consideration of petty personal
interests
That Socialism means the loyal ad
herence of the members to the just
principles of the organization and
that there is in this movement no
room for anything that conflicts with
these principles
That Socialism means the promul-
cation of new and broader social
ideals, ideals that will be the inspira-
ton and the soul of better civiliza-
ton, and that there is in this move
ment no room for any lesser or mar
rover ideals;
That Socialism means democracy,
the absolute and unconditional rule
of the people, not as a mere vote
catching phrase or brain-tickling dog
ma, but as a realization of the fact
that only the people can rule them
selves intelligently in their own in
terests, and that, in the final analysis,
wherever the people do not rule them.
selves they are invariably ruled by
a selfish, designing, and-measured
by the extent of their contribution
to the peoples needs-an unintelli-
gent minority.-Appeal to Reason.

People Are LOcOed
BY E. C. Hunton, steptoe, wn.


The world is mad-house. We in.
habitants are lunatics Not organi-
cally unsound, but doped. We have
been 'locoed" Royalty robed rascals
have crazed our minds with the doc
trine of the divine right of kings"
ISilksuited scoundrels in legislative
halls and high-handed highbinders on
judicial benches have racked our
brains with the doctrine of the Sac
red rights of property" Ponderous
pot-bellied parasites, captains of in.
dustry, makers of murder machines
who fatten on the split blood, the
shattered brains, the crushed bones
and the tattered flesh of their guilt
Bile victims, have scared our brains
with a bastard patriotism" The
moneymad monsters, the sharks and
Shylocks Of the Wall Streets Of the
world, who coin into gold the hopes
ana happiness of countless millions
of their felowmen, have maddened
our minds with Commercial suprem
acy" Pious palavering prostitutes of
pulpit and press proclaiming a per-
nicious patriotism have set millions
of us to slashing each others throats,
our only desire the blood of some
other lunatic. Reason has fled
Sayagery, lunacy and the blood lust
sit enthroned and behind them grin
ming, applaudng gleefully, stand all
these craven monsters, who make the
good green earth a shambles, who
jeer at brotherhood and mock the God
who gave them life. Universal broth
erhood and cooperation as proclaim
ed by Jesus Christ and Karl Marx is
forgotten in the mad slaughter of a
universal hell
But light follows darkness, reaction
follows action, opposites are general
ed from each other and many a gild-
ed, greedy gullet will be slashed;
many a holy hypocritical heart will
be gibbeted; many a blood-lusting ty-
rant will bleed before the demons
they have loosed are chained again.
Then. when all the tears that can
be shed are she'd and eyes are dry
from weeping-when all the hopes
that can be crushed are crushed, and
hope seems dead-when all the blood
that can be split, is split, and No
mailman left to drawn it-when all
the hell that can be raised is raised,
and hell lies eXhausted-then man
will think, and thinking, will build
on the ruins of the past a society
founded on Justice Ordered by Truth
and governed by Reason The human
tree will have bloomed. Mankind
will have reached the flower of his
development

The Marshalltown Baseball Associa-
ton would like the public to understand
that the high price for the games today
was not fixed by the local association,
but by the league. The rules OF the
league demand a charge of Is cents for
grandstand seats, and so cents for
bleachers on holidays, when double
header games are scheduled. The mon
ey does not go to the local association.
but to the league, where it Is prorated.
Because so many people prefer to see
