"Vou m to lie laboring under the
illusion that "Wnliini iM me kind of

asked a Republican or Democrat to
answer these name questions as related
to th-ir political lnOiefs, though there
would be the mime pertinence to them
when asked of a Republican. Democrat
or prohibitionist as there is when asked
of a HtM'inlist.
Soi isvl isi is m political and not a
religious movement. Sotne Socialist
I ivorld to solve the labor problem, some
I may b lieve that he came into the
world save in the imaginations of men.
There are Democrats and Republicans
who hold all t Ik ho view 1 and other
views on religious and theological mat
ters, but these opinions are no part of
the political thought to which they ad-hen-.
'r know of Socialists who believe
the bible to bo t he inspired word of
God and who accept the orthodox doc
trines of salvation. I know other So
cialists who have no faith in either the
bible or the church. Hut what they
may believe or disbelieve in regard to
t hese things has not hing whatever to
do wit It t heir Socialism.
"The onlv authority as to what So
ciatisui advocates is to be found in the
nat ional plat forms of the Socialist
parly and the declarations of principles
nade from t hue to time by t he or
gani.ed movement. Vou will find in
these platforms and declarations
more reference to religion t ban is to
be found in the national platforms of
other parties.
' ' Sotne Socialists are very religious
and teach Socialism from n religious
standpoint. Others are opposed to re
ligiou and teach Socialism from the
standpoint of their own philosophy,
whatever it iniiv be. Hut all Socialists
unite tn the demand for a collective
ownership of the means of production
to the end that each worker may re
reive the full value of what his labor
socially creates. Socialism, as
pressed in t he pot it ical movement for
which this pa ter is pubtishod, is con
corned with the problem of producing
the material means of lite and their
n.joyment by the people who produce
I hem.
"Sucial: -uti has more to do with the
ustenance of life than with what use
shall be made of that life. It w the
business of the Socialist to see that
ach worker gets food, clothing, shel
ter and other material comforts to the
extent that he labors to make them.
I his leaves him free to accept any re
ligion he may choose or to reject all
religion if he prefers. Read Spragues

in reality you went to bed nt 7:110

your wishbono and your system full
of hot lemonade and flaxseed tea
and your mouth all puckered up
with ipiininef Pa says there is no
parting so bitter as the parting of
a ipiiuinc capsule just as you are
in the act of swallowing it. Ma

when it comes to things like grip

to knock them illy. And when
you're coming through, she know.s
how to make the dandy broth and

of things to bring you right u: on

Habit! The world is ruled by habit.
W. H. Mansfield, who with his wife,
formerly published the Leader Herald,
at Natnpa. Idaho, and after selling out
mo ed to Port land, has been in t he
habit of getting up at ti o'clock every
lay in the year. Mrs. Mansfield has
:i'so always lteen an early riser.
Neither of them has anything to do
11 v, but it is w it It great difficulty
that they are accomplishing the habit
of sleeping in the morning. 1 11 fact.
Mr. Mansfield has found it almost an
impossibility. He has no paper to get
out, nothing on his mind, still he usu
illy finds himself up and about the
house before daylight every morning.
It is the same with Mr. Mansfield.
Hut in time the two of them have
hopes of overcoming this getting up
arly habit and believe that eventually
they will !' able to sleep until 7
o'clock or perhaps !." minutes later.
