A WOHII WITH VOl.
Vuu cannot suecesfully tight or [
get rill ot an evil until you under- j
stand the haracter of that evil. If j
the people understood how to gel
riil of the industrial ills under |
wlarii they suffer, do you not think,
they would have done so? Wouldn t,
it he natural for them to so art? I
They have acted often. They have j
voted the prohibition tickit; theyi
hav. voted the republican ticket:]
they have voted the democratic; j
they have voted labor tickets -and j
still they are suffering under the'
same old conditions as 01 yore, j
Wither the no n who voted, nor the,
men they voted for, knew the fun
damental trouble, and hence they
have not applied and cannot ap
ply. tie remedy. They reluse the
renn dy at t very election because
they do not understand the disease.
To assert that the tens of thousands
of men regardless of party whom]
they have elected, have been dis-,
honesty. but lark of knowledge
l|[.<i tie masters understood the
re.,i chare t* i* ot chattel slavery,
ami to w hat it would inevitably J

If ill war !i il not conn . they
would have freed tlicir slave*' bc

t|i< - won hi lit.ve seen by the rapid
a:.c. wonderful development at tin*
i i rth. 11:*tt ■ "i:i11<• I slavery was ini
liov'riushing tl.cn: and making
111 • * hi slaves to the richer capitalists
of ih" north, using wage slaves.
Hut i In' would not listen to n a son
and yon know the result. To as
sume that the men who wore the
pray wire, intentionally wrong lin
ing the things that they knew was
against their own interest, is too
all. urd for ronsideration. Men who
go out and fight as they taught,
suflered as they stiffen d. were
sincere and in deep earnest. They
did not see far enough- they did
not understand t ho foundation of
society Hut few men of the north
at that time understood.
Now tin system of wage slave:y
is doomed a.- certain!" fls w.i ■ . lintel
slavery, but the men who : :*> tem
porarily profiting hy il are as blind
to its real character as were
he n>'ii of the south concerning
their pceull.r institution. Men act
according to their understanding.
Tin* capitalist today cannot logit -
ally examine the society they ire
i ontrolliil"*. they cannot fellow the
changes that it is making every

rl;iy; lhov cannot sco that it t
deal rut tivi and must perish. Tlte j
S( -ialist: c. n and do s-h that, lot j
wo have aluuicd the character ol

primitive slate of man. Socialism

ncCororiers <. 11 pred'et the coming

a few month after the blossoms
come the Iruit is ripe unto pick
ing So the tree of the Co-opera
tive Commonwealth has been grow
ing those many years and already
ilio buds are appearing and we
know the fruit thereof. Trusts,
combines, military power and the
growing organizations ot capital
and labor are tl.e buds of capital- j
5sn that arc destined to flower into]
the rod bloom of Socialism, fori
Socialism is merely the unfolding I
of capitalism, and not a scparatel
and distinct genus. Capitalism had j
to produce the conditions out of i
which Socialism must come. So
cialism has been growing rapidly |
these many years; it could not j
come until the
machinery of
w onderful developed i
production and dis
tribution by capitalism had been |
completed, with their logical effects'
of mental awakening of the- work- j
niE class. just as me mi'inoas 01
commerce of a century ago gradu
ally blended into the. conditions of J
fifty years ago and they into tho|
commercial system of today, so this
system is destined to change and
blend into something else different
from what it is. Few of the people
have git en these changes any at
tention. but these things explain
the future- to the student.
The fools who talk of public
ownership under capitalism ought
to know that it cm proceed no
further than the capitalists want or
than they make profitable to them
selves. They control the money
through the banker's trust and call
prevent conservation, so called, un
less it makes thi m money. If it
makes them money it will he only
capitalism and no benefit to the
people. The only way to escape the
exploitation is to end capitalism
entirely.
!n at. exchange of recent date we
find enumerated what they consider
to be the ten leading mistakes of
life. These arrors are.
To attempt to set up your own
standard of right or wrong, and to
i , t i very one to conform to it.
To expect mature judgment and
( xperiem e in the young.
To tr> to mold all dispositions
alike.
To refuse to yield in unimportant
t ri lies.
To look for perfection in our
own actions.
To refuse to make allowance for
the weakness of others.
To consider anything impossible
that we can not ourselves perform.
To believe only what ®our finite
minds can grasp.
To live as if tlie* moment, the
time, the day. were so important
that it would last forever.
To estimate the wort It of people
by some outside quality.
You are paying for the hund
I reds of millions spent advertising
'in an increase in the price of goods
j It all has fo be paid for. Under
! collective ownership and operation
of industries then* would need be
no advertising. Postage stamps are
: no' advertised. What goes for
'such watte as advertising would be
paid to mote workers who actually
| produce things, end there would be
! more things produced for tne same
1 number of people employed, which
would mean more products for la
| bor for ttie same time Aw. get
1 wise to your own interests. Novel
mind the capitalists—they will be
able to care for themselves.
This aggregalion of capitalists
you call your government has
printed and handed over lo some
of their number called bankers,
$71 ?,029,4GS.00 in bank notes for
one-fourth of one per cent interest
You have this loaned to you or
your merchant and you pay eight
to twenty per cent for it. You are
stn h wise guys! You know so much
about goverment! You workers
pay all the interest, whether you
borrow (lie money or not. The fel
low who pays it gets it from you
in rent or profit in some form. Why
should the rich get all the favors
from government? Do they need
it as much as you, who can hardly
a fiord to give wife a calico dress
once a year? Shame on your stu
pidity.
A public officer is a man elected
by the people to serve the interests,
a servant ol the pimple who cannot
be fired.
Tii,* svstem is founded
upon the fact that the masters
hate llieir eyes open ami the work
ers keep theirs shut.
Financier a man who takes thej
capital ethers create and makes it
an imlehtness the people owe him
for all time to come.
Capitalism has created such a j
hell on eartii that many are posi
tively braving the threat of a hell *
in the future in order to escape *
thir one.
Confidence is belief that the
banks w ill pay you back the money |
you gave to them without security
after they have loaned it out on in
terest .
liusimss is a form of usage in
which the people agree to being
robbed according to rules and pro
tect the robbers against all other
comers.
Did you ever think of the many !
who have to leave home under I
comp tiiioi tic get a job 'liat this j
i
war break
ettectively ?
breaking up the home
Socialists nave no c.csire to tano: i
anything away from .Mr. ltocke- j j
feller, but they do insist tliat hep
shall cease taking things awit^j j
from other people.

| Contempt prior to luvostigaPon ;
j is a bar against information; it is j
j proof against all argument and ,
car.not help but keep a man in ]
everlasting ignorance.
Socialists only ask for fair play; j
they demand that the poor shall
not rob the rich, but, at the same
time, they demand that the rich i
shall not rob the poor. liven a
police judge will have to agree that
this a just demand.
