CUT OUT THE BOOZE.
The Socialist movement was wise
when it determined that there was
too much drinking among the work
ers and that it was necessary to en
join them from such harmful in
dulgence. In this there was no
sentimentalizing, but simply the re
cognition of the palpable fact, that
liquor is one of the factors which
keeps the working class in bondage.
The class struggle requieres clear
heads, steady nerves and self
respect on the part of the men who
are waging it. Plied with intoxi
cants they are in no condtion to
grapple with the problems which
confront them and to carry forward
the great work of organization
which is required before there can
be any hope of emancipation.
We have said before that there
is altogether too much whisky
drinking amonk the working class
of this country. The evil of it is
too apparent tp need more than
mention here.
If the workers were to contri
bute one dime to literature to every
dollar they spend for liquor, in a
year's time we could flood this
country with books and pamphlets
dealing with the vital questions of
the day from the working class
point of view apd establish the larg
est printing house in America
But it is not with the money
phase of the evil that we are alone
concerned. Indeed, this is far from
being the worst of it: What the j
working class need above all is I
character, manhood, self-respect. I
"Without those all is hopeless and1
it is precisely these that are de-1
stroyed by saturating the system!
with the vile and debasing intox
icants.
All tnai wnisicy does lor me
workers is to keep them in the fet
ters of poverty, ignorance and
slavery.
Cut out the booze! The figures
recently issued by the government
show an appalling increase in the
consumption of all kinds of intox
icants in this country.
Sober men are needed for the
class struggle. Befuddled, besotted
slaves will never win a battle.
Loss beer and more books; less
liquor and more literature; less of
everything that debauches the mind
weakens the will and destrqys the
manhood and more of everything
that will give us character and con
science strength and determination
to win the world for the workers.
THKRK’H KNOl’GH l-'OR ALL.
No man ever yet put forward any
logical reason why any man will
ing to work should ever want for
any necessity of life. There is
plenty of everything in the wo*ld
for everybody and it is only thrugh
for everybody and it is only
through ignorance that anybody
lives in poverty. If I have all 1 can
<eat, why should I try to keep any
body else from eating? If I have all
the clothes I can wear, why should
1 be allowed to retain clothes that
others need? If I have a good home,
why should 1 object to others hav
ing good homes, too?
It isn't as though there wa3 any
Jack of these things, that would be
different. In such case there might
be some excuse for fighting over
the things we must have to live and
enjoy life. But there is no lack,
there is plenty of everything. There
is no lack of men ready and willing
to dig it. Nobody ever freezes be
cause there is not enough food.
Men freeze and starve only because
the food and coal are privately
owned and arc produced and distri
buted only for private profit.
Let's dig coal bocause the people
need coal and not because some
body wants to make a profit out
of it. Let’s produce food because
the people need food and not fce
causo somebody wants a profit out
of the production thereof. Let’s
collectively own tne world and run
it for the benefit of all the people
instead of a few parasites.
TRANSFORM THE WORKERS'
BRAIN.
To transform industry from capi
talist to working class control, we
must aid in the process of evolution
by first transforming the workers.
The workers must be aroused to a
corsciuesnets of the important role
they play in society. So long as
the workers believe themselves in
capable of executive direction and
organized acnieve'emnt as a class,
so long will capitalism endure. The
workers must be awakened to the
glaring fact that the only depend
ent class in modern society is the
capitalist class. Without the brain
and the brawn of the workers, co
operatively applied to land and ca
pital, and without the moral and
ethical support of the workers, cun
ningly rallied to their exploiters'
institutions, capitalism and the ca
pitalist class could not endure. It
is labor that makes its own en
slavement possible, by refusing to
use its mental and economic power
in its own interest as a class.
THE 1)01,EAR.
A great man once said (and every
woman knows) that a baby is the
most wonderful thing in the world.
If so, how wonderful ■ that the most
wonderful thing in the world
should cut its teeth on the thing
that next to itself, is most wonder
ful—the dollar!
A good deal ol rubbish has been
written about the dollar, so I shall
try not to write more, though I
may net succeed. One is almost
sure to write rubbish when he
writes of the uses to which the dol
lar is put. Gentlemen of fine feel
ing have gone into rhapsodies over
the dollar because of the fact that
it feeds and clothes the widow and
her children. .1 could say, with as
much sense, that the dollar is the
universal harlot, since it will serve
anybody that has the power to com
mand it. It is hot what men do
with the dollar that is of funda
mental importance. It is what the
dollar itself is that counts.
The dollar is an order upon the
world for goods or services, payable
to the bearer of the dollar.
Which is equivalent to saying that
the dollar, in its very nature, is a
fraud. What right have I, merely
by the possession of a dollar, to de
mand your goods or services? No
one has a right to demand service
of others. The possession of a
dollar is, in itself, in proof what
ever that the possessor has served

others. Young Vincent Astor has
tens of millions of dollars. Young
Vincent A3tor can command the
services of armies of men, or ap
propriate the goods that thousands
of men have made, yet young Vin
cent Astor has never performed the
slightest service to the world, and
probably never will. Instead of be
ing a help to the human rate, he is
a pest, not because he is personally

who want to live and work upon

The capitalist system will never
be overthrown by intoxicants,
though the worker who uses them
may be.
That employer who would hire a
man he could not tnrn off at will
you would consider a fool. Yet you
do that with all your officers.
Uunable tcf argue, the reaction- j
aries are beating drums. Unable to
show wherein Socialism is wrong,
they are seeking to turn the subject
by screaming accusations.
It is folly to complain about the
lack of opportunities so long as
you vote to give the power of em
ployment and credit of the country :
to those who will find it profitable
to limit opporutnity.
