SOCIALIST HAD
GOOD AUDIENCE

The first and only political address
delivered in Lambertville this sea-
son, so far, was that of D. R. Tan
ner, who is known as The Socialist
Evangelist" on Friday evening last,
at the corner of Union and Bridge
streets. The speaker held the atten-
ton of good-sized crowd from
start to finish, and there was nothing
that anybody found to take excep-
ton to, even if they did not see the
situation from the same optimistic
standpoint as Mr.. Tanner. 1t was
his third appearance in this city, and
he has already made a number of
warm friends, particularly among
those who are not followers of his
cause.
Mr.. Tanner SAID. in the course "a
his remarks, that the Socialist, like
the social-reformer, recognizes the
existence of serious evils in society,
and that while the reformer accounts
for them by various deductions, and
would eliminate them one by one,
the Socialist ascribes them chiefly to
one cause the present economic or
ganization of society.
This economic system, he said,
puts all the principal means of pro-
duction and distribution under the
control of a small portion of the
people, namely the capitalists; under
conditions which virtually compel
them to use all their power in ways
prejudicial to the interests of the
remainder of the people. The work
ers receive in wages only portion
of the value their labor creates, the
remainder going to the capitalist as
rent, interest and profit; thus keep
ing the workers in poverty and de-
priving them of true liberty. pre-
venting their full physical, mental
and spiritual development. Compe-
tition among the workers and among
the capitalists, and the antagonism
between the classes result in eco
nomic oppression, political corrup-
ton, struggles between classes and
wars between nations.
Mr.. Tanner said that the Socialist
would abolish these evils by having
society take possession of the prin-
cipal means of production and dis
tribution, managing them democrat
icaly for the entire people. He said
that the socialist movement differs
from all previous social revolts in
that it does not aim to put new
ruling class in power, nor of tearing
down present institutions to restore
those of the past. but aims to so re-
construct the social conditions as to
forever eliminate all class rule.
While probably only a small part
of those in attendance may actually
vote the Socialist ticket, they gener-
ally admitted that there was nothing
revolutionary about the speech. For
the same reason, probably, many
who are not Socialists have been
signing the petition of Clarence H.
Rex, who is the Socialist aspirant
for member of the Assembly from
Hunterdon county, believing it only
in the interests of fair play to give
them all chance.

The prohibition amendment as
passed by the senate was left in the
bill. The age limit for those subject
to selective service was fixed at twen-
ty-one to thirty years. All men more
than twenty-one and up to the age of
, thirty will be subject of service.
A: 1t stands there is every proba-
bility the senate will make some eff.
fort to restore the Roosevelt amend
ment, but since the conferees agreed
to eliminate it and the administration
does not want 1t in, it is not believed
it could pass the senate again.
The agreement reached today was
forecast in Eetail by the United Press
yesterday. After short session this
morning, it was announced all lines of
differences had been erased. but it
was admitted there might be soma
opposition to the report in both the
house and senate. Senator Chamber
lain said he would introduce the con-
ference report early this afternoon In
the senate. The senate cannot act on
the measure until after the house has
acted. Demands from the country for
action on the bill and insistence on
the part of the administration for ma
chinery with which to raise an army,
it is believed, will hasten approval OF
the conference report.
President Wilson awaits only action
by congress on the report to issue his
proclamation calling for the imme-
date application of the selective serv-
ice machinery. The proclamation il
ready and all plans for fastening the
work of registration throughout the
country have been completed.
1t is regarded as likely that within
three months the first five hundred
thousand men will have been selected.

Fight over Revenue Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-One of
the bitterest intersectional fights in
house history was forecast when the
governments s1.SG0 100000 revenue
bill-the largest single taxation meas
IRE in history-was formally taken up
for consideration this afternoon by
the lower body. Theoretically. the
battle began when Majority Leader
Kitchin in charge Of the measure pre-
scented it with plea for call Ameri-
cans to do their bit to finance the
war"
This bill must pass so our chill
dren's children Will not have to nay
for the war of this generation. This
must be pay as We go war; kitchin
said.

licans, claim the southern members

ed the country above the Mason-Dix-

the south off lightly. They attacked
particularly what they call "the sec

Five billion dollars, Kitchen said
must be spent by the United States
in the next year.
billions Of dollars of bonds have
been issued that will be burden on
our children and our children's chill

"The house, when this bill comes to
vote must put this present burden on
ourselves who declared the war. and
show the necessary sacritica1 spirit
No American can say I refuse to pay
my part I hope no man here will
complain this bill taxes his state and
his district.
There are few provisions in this
bill 1 would vote for in ordinary
times. But we must raise every dol
lar on it.
"Our expenses in the next year are
already estimated at S3,S00000O
believe it will be S5,000,000.000
"a man who wanted to pay all his
taxes by bonds would be a coward. l
think we ought to pay half the ex-
penses by taxations."

Peace Terms Coming Soon.
AMSTERDAM, May O.-ChancelIor
Won Rethmann-Hollweg is to announce
Germany's general peace terms-but
when or in what form, German dis
patches today did not disclose. Pre-
sumably it will be in a speech in the
reichstag, but the German assembly
is scheduled to adjourn within a week.
One report fixed Monday as the date,
but this was unconfirmed elsewhere
In the meantime German neWspa-
pers revived peace discussions. The
Bavarian Stats Zeitung, credited
with being the mouth-piece of the Ba-
varian premier, Count Hertling, pub
fishes an editorial insisting that Ger
many does not desire war irdemnities,
but will insist as a prime requisite to
the end of hostilities that Germany
have every facility to obtain raw ma
terial for her manufactures; that her
foreign trade shall be granted every
opportunity to develop; that all seiz-
ed German ships be returned and that
German colonies be transferred back
to the government
Other German newspapers view the
Stats Zeitung's editorial as inspired
from the recent visit to Baln of
Count Hertling.

YESTERDAY, beside crumDllns

but could not find. When 10, within

Ri clasp my hand! A humble, worth
less vine it was, all shadow-bleached

TODAY, below the hill that held
the crumbling wall, CROPPED my way
into home impoverished and grim

ease; and filth, in turn, fed life too
foul to name, while battened windows
shut out air and all Gods sunlit
world outside. Here sour stencil OF
milk and reek of platters all I'M

weighted with even ranker nausea
the mcil and sweat OF unlayed human
kind. Yet Love made dwelling here,
and Innocence as well. For as 1
turned with coward feet to leave 1t
all behind, my cropping knee a cradle
