Merrily, merrily, merrily the contest
rolls -along, each day's votes seeming
to increase the interest in each district,
although there are' a couple of dis
tricts as ' yet from which more votes
fhould come. Included in these is No.
. including Talent, Phoenix and Ash

trict taking a little intreest, but there
Mtould be more interest taken, as the
prizes are all valuable and well- worth
wfirkiog for.
Not Too Late.
It is nnt too late to enter your name
or that of a friend, as many contests
have been won by ladies entering even
two weeks before the end, as when any
one 'enters at a 1 lato date they know
that they have to hustle, and they do,
and us a rule they do great hustling and
get bettor results out of a couple or
throe weeks before the end than oth
eis do by working only a short time
4ach day during the full length of the
contest, so if you have any desire to
win oue of the prize j do not hesitate a
w anient about entering your name.
Now that the. special offer of 5000
extra votes for six six-months' subsiTip
timis is at an end, the eontrat will de
velop into a steady grind, which will
last until the last day in fact, even
until the last hour. Quite a few took
advantage of the extra ballot and se
cured he FjOOO votes. However, as many
(feured these ballots, as was expected,
and they were secured throughout the
five districts.
fniome districts two or three 'ob
tained the ballot, and in some districts
only one, and as it is possible for five
prizes to go to one district, do not be
discouraged, even though you were not
lueVy enough to secure one of the bal
lots, but keep working nil the harder
ive who obtained the ballots. Tt was
not necessary for the contestants them
fttlvon to turn in tjie six six-months'
subscriptions, nnd there are a few who
only turned in two or three ux months
subscriptions whose six have been filled
nnt by their friends who suhseribed at
this office,

IN DEFENSE
OF SOCIALISM
F. Dundu Todd Fires Hot Shot in F
Tor of New Political Creed F. A. 8,
Answered Fully and Tgiets of New
Faith Bet Forth Plainly.
To the Editor: Permit me to confess
1 did not heed the correspondence on
Socialism in your paper until my eye
caught the letter of F. A. 8. in your
issue of January 21, and I regret that
1 am a little handicapped in taking part
in it at this stage of the game.
Socialism is a philosophy that is held
by 35,000,009 of people, mostly in Eu
rope, and has not until recently made
much progress in this country, but it
ia now before it as a live issue and
every man- aye, woman must take one
side or another at no distant date, fake
all great movements in tho history of
the human race, many will be influenced
by reason, others by prejudice, in deter
mining their attitude, and all that in
telligent Socialists ask is a conscien
tious investigation of the principles of
Socalism. If the results are favorable
they welcome the convert; if the re
verse, they simply express regret. They
have no ill-feeling for their opponents,
as practically every Socialist today, on
account of the infancy of tho move
ment, is a convert from tho opposite
point of view.
What Socialism Is.
Socialists do not advocate their phil
osophy because they consider they could
organise human society on a more de
sirable basis than nt , present exists.
They urge its consideration because
they know, as far as it in possible for
human beings to forocast tho future,
that.it is inevitable, and they desire
that this great impending change ehall
not be opposed by violence and blood
shed, as has up to date been the habit.
They proper the ballot to the bullet.
Wo all know how much misery was in
flicted in this country by the resistance
to the inevitable freeing of the slave, ao
if Socialists can prevent the recurrence
of such an awful calamity when in the
fullness , of . time . economic, conditions
necessitate a new form of organisation
of society, then by that alone it will
have proved itself the greatest bene
factor that man has ever seen.
i Socialism is fundamentally an econ
omic proposition; it concerns itself with
the very neeessary interests of food,
clothing and shelter. We all need these,
and since they are produced bv work
and work only. Socialists Insist that the
product of. work -should go to the
worker. They demand that making, not
taking, shall determine ownership., It.
is wrtainly a- just proposition and I
have yet failed to meet the man who
will freely admit that he conaiders tak
tng a fair title to ownership. I know
many who acquire proprietorship in that
way, but their defense is that it is ac
cording to the present rules of the game,
which they did not make. Their argu
ment is unanswerable.
Adversary Is Ignorant..,.
F. A. H. is, 1 am afraid, ignorant of
Socialism. Very probably he has read
what some one not a .Socialist .said it
was, hut the only authoritative source
is the. platform of the Socialist party
defined by the delegates in convention
essombled, just iw the principles of the
Republican and Democratic parties are
supposed to be found in their platforms.
Should he decide to take further part in
this .controversy let him combat the
various. planks lo be found there, and
he wjll not need to ereate the various
men of straw he so vigorously demol
ishes. Knocking down, atraw men is
doubtless as exhilarating as laying low
imaginary enemies in th form of weeds,
a pleasant oceupation indulged in by lit
tie ehildren with a stiek.
For instance, he aks why labor un
ions .repeatedly turn a roll shoulder
to the advances of Socialists. Me as
sumes here that this is true of all tabor
unions, but it is so only in this conn
trv. anil not even entirelv true at that.
Socialism nnd unionism on the eontt-
nent of Knrope arc practically one and
the .vame thing, and this is fast becom j
ing true of Great Mritain. What is the
matt T with the unions in this rohntry?.
They are jdst like F. A. S.. bnt both)
ivill get over it. So much for straw
man .Vo. 1. !
Produrt of Workshop. !
It is possible s-itne Kolialist writer
in this iion t rove rsy said farmers were
enthusiastically in favor of Socialism,
bnt I doubt it. There is undoubtedly a
de.-Lbd tendei.ey in that direction with
a few . I know (f a numleT in this,
Mfl!. but if F. A. S. knew even the i
eh men) of Socialism he would not mip I
m.i- that Socialists at pre .en! ;mc en
t " ot.t t he rush of fanners to
tl:rir rink. Socialism is the product of
t!,. workshop nnd the factory -not of
the fi.rm. If oulv F. A. S.' l-ut hall'

"If Hip tato took -rrvt liii.y it
won). I tati our litHtf ftll, U tfi l) the
'all' of tho capitalist." Kxcellent logic
not a flaw anywhere I must really
compliment F. A. iv on his deduct ivo
powers. . But, alas! alas! his premises
are wrong; he has made an error of
judgment. Too bad that his perfect
logic should fall to the grouud. No
Socialist platform ever recommended
the state should take verything. And
so vanishes nnothor straw man.
Christianity's Connection.
What has Christianity got to do with
Socialism t At one time 1 would read
ily have answered, Not a thing, as one
dealt with belief and the other with
such every day things as food, clothes
and houses. But wider study tins shown
mo that Christianity was essentially tho
beginning of Socialism with, of course,
the minor differences due to the stage
of development that man had then at
tained. It is a fascinating bit of for
gotten history, only recently resurrect
ed, nnd if F. A. S. knew even the barest
facts of that period he would never have
triexl to bolster up his case by dragging
in Christianity. Lot me rap him out of
court sudden. He says, "Christians
uphold tho ownership of property and
the, safeguarding of woman's estate."
This is about the loosest and most care
less jumble of words I ever tackled.
Note the assumptions: First, christians
and Christianity are the same thing. Not
by a jugful! Christianity Ls the philos
ophy of .lesus Christ; christians well,
no one knows just what they are, ex
cepting that they are human beings just
like F. A. S. and myself.
Tenets of Socialism.
"Uphold the ownership," certainly,
but by whom private individuals or the
community, or both, or what!
"Of property." What kindt I know
that in this country 00 years ago.
"christians uphold the (private) own
ership of (slave) property," until slaves
worn Bet free. Were those christians
right? Please, F. A. 8., if you haul
Christianity into this discussion, stand
pat to your text, for wo can refer to
an authoritative source the Now Tes
tament but tho human element is too
uncurtain.
' ' The safeguarding of woman 's es
tate. " Frankly, I don't know what
that means. It may refer to material
wealth or any old thing, ao I pass it by.
- The reference to "mutual consent,"
I presume, refers to the sexual rotations
between man and woman. I always un
derstood that in this country the essential-
element of matrimony was the
' ' consent ' ' of the parties moat con
cerned, that is "mutual consent." With
out consent, no marriage. If this prin
ciple is all right now, would it not work
as well under Socialism f 1 think ao,

C. H. PIERCE
but F. A. S. apparently thinks differ
ently. I would like ti know why.
Changing Affinities. .
"It would not bo a hard matter to
change affinities,' " says F. A. 8.
Pretty easy now, ain't it! One divorce
to every seven marriages in many states
is "goin some," I think. Socialism
will have to get up and do some tnll
hustling to beat the "affinity-chung
ing" record that has. been made under
this beautiful system we ure now suf
fering uuder. It is interesting to be
told that he thiuks the present law is
too lax, so apparently he does not ob
ject to sometimes changing affinities.!
I wonder where he would draw tho iiiiCj
it is so refreshing to find him among
the reformers.
If F. A. S. wore wise he would have
hidden this straw man in the woodshed
it's nasty, and savors too much of
Pittsburg, Sow York, etc., these days,
and noue of the folks concerned ore
Socialists, so far as 1 know.
The reference to the apes an igno
rant one, by the way I suppose is
meant to indicate that F. A. S. rejects
the Darwinian theory of evolution. Di
rectly, this has nothing to do with So
cialism, but the sentence is a wonderful
illumination. Jt is tho privilege of F.
A. S. to accept or reject anything he
pleases, but it is not wisdom to pro
claim how little one knows from the
housetops.
