Se. ENIGMA
Address of Claude S. Howard, Delivered at a Meeting
of Clackamas County Socialists.
Formally thousands of years man
lms ever echoed the saying' of tlio old
time prophet, man is born, to trouble
as the sparks fly u inward, and tho dark
mystery why man Jins sorrow, Buffer
ing, war snd strifo in greater degree
than all tlierost of the animal creat
ion, lms evor proved unsolved. But
at last thoro fitaudB before you a
humble dociplo of. 0110 who made this
question a lifo lonf study mid in con
junction willi other meii of science
discovered the underlying Lives which
govern the development of society.
Two of tlio nnmos are world wide and
each put forth a law "Flint Jms stood
the test of the most ridgod investiga
tion.' The first ;by Clmrlos Darwin,
sometimes known as the law of tlio
survival of the fittest, but statod in
its original form, as this : Those
forms nf life wliich cannot adapt
themselvos to existing conditions
MUST PERISH. O" he second by Curl
Jlafx, which roads: Tho economic
condition of a peojple at any, given
time doaiiiiatcs all other conditioiiF.
But in discussing these things in this
brief space of time, I can do no more
than olimb to an elevation and point
to the largest monu tains which have
come to our viow, leaving the rox-
imirnuuu pi me vaiioys to some future
time. Sometime in the" distant past
man was wandering in savagry, fight
ing for his existence with each . rude
weapons as clubs and stones and
carrying on a relentless warfare
against the animals woaker than him
self for his food and being in turn
preyed upon by the' animals etroueor
than himself for their food supply.
Undor these conditions tho men that
exercized the most brain capacity
tsoapod mid propagated their kind,
who were subjected tn the same
ordeal. Some time rl
auruggio it was discovered that tv
meu ngiitmg together could defeat
five or six fighting indopondeutly, an
tne principle of colloctivo action w;
born. But this soou gave rise to.

Aiiranam aud Lot with a result of
which we are all familiar. The first
recorded uivision of Btock resnltod in
Jacob gutting nearly all of it by a
shrewd triub. From that time for
ward each upward step of socioty has
been brought Mho it by tho application
of a more advanced form of co-operation
adopted by some one of the con
tending classos in the straggle for an
advantage and not with the intention
of bouefiting all of the people at all.
During tha dark ages the ruling, class
was tho fuodal lords who had tho
habit of robbing the merohants and
manufacturers (who were tho begin
ning or our present capitalints) to
carry on thoir' various wars. The
result of this, was the capitalists rose
lii.reueUion and with the assistance
of tho working class destroyed fnedal-
ism, established republics or limited
monarchic.- To accomplish this they
were chnipellel to give the common
peoplu the ballot. Thus, a great for
ward step was taken, to be quickly
followed by tne establishing of public
schools so tho capitalists could have
skilled workingmon to run thoir fast
deeloping machiuery It will be con
siderable of a jolt to find that the
mheilion whioh created the United
States was not for the people and that
thoConstitution was simply a class doo
ument as stated by a delegate, who wa
afterwards President Madison, to pro
tect the minority (Capitalists) against,
the majority (the working class) also
against the extortions of King
Goorgo. It is thus shown that the
government of the United States is
not and never has boon for the people
and by the people and the Declaration
of Independence was the enrtain that
was let down whiha the scenes were
being shifted behind.
That republics are especially adapt
ed to the growth of gigantia fortunes,
has boon shown in the United States
more than any where else. But the
dominant principle of Capitalism,
Which is the taking of a profit on all
commodities is destined to bring about
the downfall of tne sy. tom asei:ohnew
advance in industrial dovolopment has
leen forced by certain causes in the
prooiODS one. In the light of these
Economic-researohos it has been shown
int competition is not the lifo of
trade, hut, the death of trade and in
every industry that has been formed
nto a trust, competition is dead. In
iort tho trust is socialistic, a new
and adavneed form of co-0-eratiou if
you pleasa. We, the Socialists, can
sit back and enjoy the efforts of some
to.ourb, oontrol, or perhaps prevent
0 formation cf new trusts. Their
offorts are foredoomed to failure.
Why my friends do yon kuwo that you
e trying to hinder your best friends?
Tho trusts aro here in obedience of
10 law of the survival of the fittest
ud Roosevelt, Bryan or Hearst can
n more prevent their erowth than
oy ban prevent tho slow moving of
0 glacier down the mountain fide.
IJaviug now outlined the development
ofociety to the present time and un
derstanding tho laws which guide its
development wo may safoly predict
for the future. Here is whore Carl
Marx shows his creat foresight and
his principal worka which were
written in 1840 and a few years later
predictod tho formation of tho trusts
mid tlio extension of Capitalism to all
countries in the world. With groat
rapidity Japan aud China are institut
ing modern labor saving niaohiuery
and will soon be able to supply the
world with goods made with labor at
10 to 25 oents'iihiy. Not ouy that,
but Japan is going mto this project
on a national scale that forming
sure or govornuionc ownership, or
state Socialism. Undorstnud that
this is not genuine Soo alisin, for the
mincers 01 nub will no ror tlie upper
plans and not for nil tho people. But,
what will be tho offoct of this on
Amerioa. If you understand our
present conditions at all, yon will
know that a profit taking system can
only go an as long as the capitalists
bavo a foreign mn-ket to sell tho
surplus goods which tho working
class make, but aro too Door to brv.
Wo, tho American working class,
will have to come to Ohineso standard
of labor or face starvation. This is
an absolute fact which 110 one can
deny. What will ho the result? Ah,
here is where tho Socialist can smilo,
he toes the result ntd knows that we
can have only one solution, we must
take all the great pnhlio utilities and
make them public and collective
properly ; wo must sell all goods at
la'ior cost 'and then the pooplu will bo

need a nnirnet 111 other lands. This,
my mends, is Socialism aud you

"RUZVELT" AS A VOTE GETTER
Mr. Myers Takes the President to Task for Over
working: His Cabinet Officers.
ORE j ON CITY, Nov. 13.-(Editor
of the Courier. ) I would like some
of the wise folk to tell me through
the Courier if Mr. Ruzvolt hns violat
ed the civil service law by Bending
his cabinet out to canvass for the
Republicans in the various State
elections just passed. Of course i
Teddy stands for law and order and a
square deal, to hear him tell it, but
wnac are rne tacts. Does any one
believe that Gov. Gooding and Judge
Smith stood for law and order when
they kidnapped a lot of. innocent men
from Colorado and then deny them
the right of habaet corpus? Another
caso of a square deal.
When a wreck oooured on the rail
road in Eastern Washington, two mail
clerks who escaped injury reported
the cause of wreck, laying the blame
where it belonged to the company.
They wore fined 30 each and suspend
ed 10 days by the postal authorities.
This caused an order being issued that
hereafter mail clerks having any
grievance must report the same to
their superiors and not give any
fl:ntemonts out that the pnblio may
get hold of.
Here is another square deal but I
pity the soldier if Teddy gots a hold
of it :

Haa It Any Claim That Mill Jimtify
.Urn EKtublUliincntt t
Sometimes those who are not mem
bers of the grange ask the question if
it Is 'right for the grange to start a
store and thus enter Into competition
with stores already established, and, it
may be, In smaller towns to crowd out
the country store. The question Is very
well answered In the New York Farm
er, which proceeds to discuss It some
what nt length:
"If the farmers can, by purchasing
for themselves what they have pur
chased for. years through the store and
by selling for themselves what the
store has for years sold for them, get
their purchased supplies at lower prices
and sell their own products for better
prices there Is no reason why they
should not go into co-operative buying
and selling. In cases whore granges
have bought and sold, the results have
been satisfactory, and nobody has been
deprived of any essential moral or le-
CURED TO STAY CU RED.
gal right.
"The grange store Is a great thing
for the farming community, and farm
ers should make free use of it. It can
be used to cut down costs In buying
supplies and to Increase profits In sell
ing farm products. Besides this, the
management of the store by farmers
will In a measure give the farmers just
the business ideas and experience need
ed to enable them to play the part in
larger co-operative operations so nec
essary to give them a more equitable
part of the money paid by consumers
for the produce of the farms. Mlddle
manlsrn Is what stands today between
the farmers and prosperity. The con
sumers pay perhaps $12,000,000,000 a
year for produce that gives the farmers
less than $1,000,000,000 a year. The
great difference between these great
sums .Treasures the great middleman
draft and graft oil the agricultural In
terest of the United States. Wherever
and whenever tho farmers can do so
they should reduce the draft and graft.
They can do It by starting grange
stores, co-operative cheese, butter and
casein factories, co-operative milk con
denserles, collecting aud distributing
agencies for eggs, fruit, butter, cheese,
wool, meats and other produce, co-operative
elevators and fUur mills and
other establishments now controlled,
exclusively by middlemen who pay to
producers and take from consumers
just what they will."

The Country School.
If there is one mission more than
another that the grange should accom
plish, It Is the Improvement of country
schools. It Is a hopeful sign that the
grange as an organization is giving so
much thought and study to the prob
lem of eduentlon, and the closer the
grange and the school can be brought
together the better for both. There are
some tilings to teach In the schools be
side multiplication tables and declen
sions. The" American school should
stand, and I believe does stand, for
character as well as scholarship. The
ord'nary people make the state, and
the schoolteacher Bhould help to mold
the character of the ordinary people.
Above all else let us take more inter
est in the schools where our children
ar trained. Let un cultivate the ac
quaintance of the teachers. Let us see
to It that only teachers of ability and
strong character are employed, for It
mnst be the right character In the
teacher that inspires the right charac
ter in the pupil. G. A. Fuller.
