TIT CAN'T BE DONE".

That is what the average fellow says cbout anything new that is put up to him. He is certain that it is impossible, impracticable, that is won't work, and that ''it can't be done" It iS new to him and he cannot understand that anything can be done unless it has been dono before. He simply accepts what is as the sum of whet is for evar to be ard when you approach ;.im with new idea you and is ere certain to meet with a cold re- ccption.
 All the chaps you meet who say

"it can't be done" are opposed to

it can't be done" are opposed to Socialism. They vote the republ- can ticket or the democratic ticket because it runs in the family and they knew th.-t it can be done. To their minimizing minds they are en- gagged in political politics. They are doing the things about which there is no question as to whether they can be core. They do not think and they do rot progress except as they are forced out of the old ruts in spite of themselves.
 Opposed to thece mo SS-covered follows who say ''it cant be done" there are few live and alert men and women who assert that it can be done and then proceed to do it in the face of a sneering and gain saying world. They lead in the march of progress and are at the head of every crusade. They have to pay dearly for their pioneering
 
 minimizing majority who object to being lifted out of the ruts and hay ing a new idea disturb the cob webs in atrophied bruins. but the price is worth paying, for in tEc persecution they meet with ard the fire through which they pass the dress is consumed and they emerge in all the strength and glory of
 manhood and womanhood and their
 names remain to bear testimony
 that they lived and served and that
 becauce of their having lived and served humanity h2S risen from
 caves and jungles to the shining heights of civilization.

SOUND ECONOMICS.

To the wage worker nothing is more important than sound econo- mics. He cannot understand clear how he is robbed nor how to put an end to the robbery unless he is fundamentally clear in his economic knowledge. The subject involves study, but it is not difficult toI grasp. To one it may come easier than to another but all can and should master at least it's essential principles.
 Looso thinking is responsible for much of the confusion and many of the complications which arise in the labor movement. Mental indol- ence is the curse of many a work CT and many another is afflicted with the scarcely less pernicious habit of indifferent reading and slovenly thinking.
 The wage workers highest duty to himself is to be true to himself; to understand his interest and how to improve it; his mental deficiency and how to develop it; his moral shortcoming and how to improve it; his economic servitude and how to abolish it.
 Let the workingman keep steadi- ly in mind the fixed and unalterable fact that what is done for him must be done by himself and the no less important fact that while as s.n in- iividual he is weak and helpless, as class nothing can resist him-he has the power, economic, political and social, to overturn tho world ard re-create society, from the bot .om up, to suit his own desires.
 Economics is peculiarly the study of the working class, most oi whom take capitalist economics for granted, little dreaming that the economies of their class are studi- ously barred from their sight and knowledge in the educational pro, gram and processes of the ruling cless.
 Every working man ought tC know why he has to depend upor a capitalist for job; why his em ploymoat is uncertain his wages small, and his condition pTecariou' and how he is to overcome the diff faculties that environ him, achieve the mastery of k:s own job, secure 70 himself the product of his la Dor, and walk the earth in joy an( freedom, ard this is possible onl. by close and careful study of tn econc mics of his class.
 He should take advantage O every means of educating himsel along the lines of his class inter estc; he should lead the best litera lure with care end discrimination attend lectures addressed by com petent speakers and develop hi own capacity tc master the qucs tions involving his freedom ant woll-being.
 Don't take tie word of aayon for granted. and don't be satisfic' with having read cheap tract 0 pamphlet, but go deeply into tn solid literature, road the current So cici;st papers and magazines, tn best of them. and make yoursel the master of the subject. Io will then be secure agGinSt tn wiles of your exploiters and tn treachoTy of your misleadcrs a1 become a factor in tho grea struggle for progress and freedom.
 Whom the rank and file gro soun in their economies they will b sound in their politics and on tn stra;gat ros to freedom.

All punishment which is to re- yenge rather than correct must be morally wrong, and, when the world is at an end, what moral or warning purpose can eternal torment answer? It is useless to tell me not to reason, but to be- lieye. You might as well tell a man to wake, but sleep.-Byron.
