farmer friends follow the beaten
track of all prominent socialists and
withdraw power and control from the
local township. school district and
county, mad place it in the hands of
their political tool.
Single tax, state bank and concen-
tratiOn of power advocated by the
Townley gang, are the footprints Of
Marx, Engels, Debs, Mills and other
socialists.
1.-THE Glass Struggle" 4 Child Of
Socialism.
The farmers of North Dakota got
another thing from their farmer
friends" Karl Marks greatest dis
covery was the "class struggle" idea,
arraying worker against employer and
preaching eternal enmity between the
two classes. Thus have Bowen, Town
ley and their whole army of hired and
imported "soap-boxers'' and "organ-
izers" preached class against class.
Class hatred. Glass abuse. These
have been the slogans and stock in
trade arguments in the political razzle-
dazzle pulled off in North Dakota. The
farmers got the old socialist lie about
''class struggle" thoroughly worked in
everywhere, not by ranting about the
eternal struggle between classes as
they do in the congested cities of the
east. but by stirring up the passions
of the people by the calling of such
names as Big Biz, profiteers, blood
suckers. plutocrats, farmer enemy"
and the like. Thus another socialist
track is added.
Materialisn,, Atheism and "Direct Ae.
tion", in Our Midst.
One more thing the farmers. land
owners and church people of North
Dakota got from the Townley gang.
the pretending "saviors and friends of
the people"
Townley, Bowen, LeSueur, Mills and
Coates and many of the lesser lights
of the Nonpartisan league are social
lists. Karl Marx, Henry George, Nor
ris Hilquit and all shadows of these
socialist leaders, insist on the ''mate-
rialistic conception Of history" That
means in plain language that the
bread and butter question has always
and always will determine what laws,
manners. morals and notions people
will have. This materialism or atheism
is very necessary tool if socialism
shall prevail. Marxism proposes the
overtaking of private property, the do
ing away with the middle class family,
and his followers have advocated ''di-
rect action" that is arson, robbery and
murder. Even as late as january
1920, Morris Hilquit testified that
"some shooting" would be necessary
to establish the new order, and Lenine
and Trotzky have shown the world
what "direct action" means for all who
have property, believe in owning prop
erty or are opposed to roughneck
-tyrants. Hence the teachings Of Christ
which put premium on mans soul
and magnifes the mind above mere
money, and especially the troublesome
golden rule must be abolished. SO ma
terialism and atheism are necessary to
clear the track for this new religion.
That's why Morris Baritz, socialist Or
ganizer for Canada, says in his letter
to the Toronto Daily Globe: "No
Christian can be a socialist and no
socialist can be a believer in Christ or
any supernatural God. The church
will find in us it's irreconcilable ene-
miles," This statement was reprinted
in the Minneapolis Journal and many
church papers, such as Lutheraneran
and others just as we'll known and as
authentic and orthodox from the So
cialist point of view. In line with this,
Upton Sinclair's "Profits of Religion"
and other social slush literature has
been advertised and defended by the
league leaders in North Dakota.
Tracks Of Socialists.
We have then the following tracks
of the worlds leading socialists writ
ten plainly in the work and the laws
given the North Dakota farmers by,
these "new farmer friends"
Single tax, state bank, concentration
of power in the state, class struggle
and materialism, that is atheism.
Karl Marx and Frederick Engels
must turn over in their graves with
grunt of satisfaction at the good work
done in North Dakota by their prac-
tical disciples, Debs, Mills, Bowen and
Townley.
