THE ONE-EYED IS KING.
In t.'.e rich folk-loro of Andalusia
there is a quaint saying that “in
the land of the Blind the one-eyed
is king. It is to say that he who
understands the clearest is best
fitted.
The Socialist’s comprehension of
public affairs is his armour and
shield. He despises rainbows of |
promise and the delusions of hope. I
Ho knows the Public Press is a
Journalistic cawd whose abomina
tions would shame the Apocatyptic
harbot of Babylon. He holds at
naught the misorable moralities of
the piety-peddlars and is not con
cerned about “a happy land far j
away.”
He interprets disturbances in the;
cocial order most accurately be- j
cause back of his philosophy is the!
profound learning and logic of all
tho exact sciences.
He analyzes the doings of men in
the light of the doctrine that wo
follow that thing which we con
ceive tj promise us most substan
tial good. y
Under a principle which he has
discovered in the capitalist system
of production, known in the social
ist books as the “Law of Surplus
vrlues,” he can tell you why every
so often tho wheels of industry
must stop, the factories shut down
when men do want for the very
means of comfort and life, and why
when the bosom of bounteous Moth
er Earth is swollen and taut with
the wealth of plenty yet must the!
little bellies of children be pinched |
ard shrunken, and wolfish hunger
stalk the lives and smite with
wretchedness abject the laughing
eyes of tho innocents who dwell in
the places of the Evil Smells.
His notion cf the struggle for Ex
istence is a true accounting for the
fact that the beautiful daughters of
toiling maw of the world's chief
monster, and the Scarlet Door
mark the beginning of their joyless
journey along a tortuous and mias
matic pacn to the Potter’s Field.
Ho can tell ycu why the panic is,
a: d why others must come no long
as tho present merciless system
obtains.
The Socialist is an luce. sar.t read
er of books.
Open at least or.e eye!
RUSSIA THU Fir,ST OF THE
SOCIAL DEMOCRACIES.
__
Only a most superficial minded i
observer will ever claim that the
revolution which has boon going
on in Russia the past several
months is the result of the pre
:ont European war. Defenders of
the present world tragedy In search
ing for some good results In which
to find comfort over tlxc war are
’vout to cite the Russian revolution
as one cf the beneficial effects.
As a matter of fact, the over
thrvw cf the Czar and the rise of
ihe proletariat is the result of the
Socialist a’d 1-bcr agitation that
has been go'ng cn for lo, these
many years.
The revolution was almost won
in 1905, and at the timo of the
opening of the war in 1914, the
Russian people were again on the
v< rao (f a triumphal march into
power, when the war diverted tehir
attention and delayed the great
event.
The agitation for economic free
flora and the right to land and liber
ty was carried on in the cellars and
out in the forest, guarded by faith
ful watchers from tho attacks of
cossaks and spies. '
The poor peasants were told that
when the new government would
prevail, they were to have land and
liberty. This was the ideal of
their hopes and when the hour for
Hie common people struck in Rus
sia they went forth to take what
had been their long looked for am
bition.
After the overthrow of the Czar,
they waited patiently for Kerensky
] to make good his promise to give
•j them economic power in the owner
i ship of land and when,, after a sea
sonable time, he failed to make
good, they turned against him.
With only about 10 million of
the bureaucrats and cossacks as
against the 80 millions poor pea
sants who are most of them with
the Bolshevik!, the revolution in
Russia has every promise of being
a real proletarian revolt and who
knows but that the old saying “the
last shall be first," will be true in
that Russia, the last to break the
chains of long age feudalism, will
be the first amohg the nations
whore the workers are the domin
ant class.
THE DAYS THAT TRY MEN
AND HONOR OF MANKIND.
;Ther3 is a good many men who
shrink from being tried. They rea
lize instinctively that they cannot
afford to be tried, for the reason
that they have not within them the
stuff that will stand tho test.
These men are weak mentally
and morally, and rather than face
a trial that will test their mettle
! and develop what strength there
j may be latent in them, they shift
I and dodge, sneak and submit, and
| finally are reduced to the lowest
j level of impotency and servitude.
I There aro other men, not so
' many, who rather court the chance
| (o challenge fate and who are will
j ing to risk temporary defeat to
win final success.
The days that try men are gen
erally regarded as dark days, when
in fact they are among the bright
est that came into our lives. Tho
days that try men may be hard on
the poor fellows who are too weak
and spineless to stand up and fight
when the t03cin sounds for battle,
but tho men who have red blood in
their veins buckle on their armor
and go forth to battle with the de
termination to put tho enemy to
j rout and win the day for right and
I justice. i
The days that try men developed
the “fathers” of the'American re
volution, the heroes of the French
revolution, and the immoral leaders
■ in every other crisis through which
humanity has passed on its march
to freedom and justice. Without
these trying days, these crucial
tests, these men would never have
been known.
The world today is again passing
through days that try men. The
weak and cowardly will go down,
disappear as if they had never
been; but the men and women of I
pluck and courage, of principle and!
purpose, of character and ideals j
will bravely meet whatever comes |
and finally win the victory that will
subscribe their names in the an
nals of their times and win for
them the love.

THE SAME AS NOW.
There te six things which the
Lord hateth.
Yea, seven which are an aboml
. nation unto him;
Haughty eyes,
A lying tongue.
And hands that shed innocent
blood;
An heart that deviseth wicked
imaginations,
Feet that be swift in running to
mischief,
A false witness that uttereth
lies;
And he that Soweth Discord
among brethern.

sions are and you may know what
his prayers have been.

to be formed in Algeria by the
union of two streams, the water of
one being impregnated with iron

swamp, with gallic acid.
