THE PLATFORM.
We endorse the last International So
cialist party platform adopted at Chica
go, May 5, 1904, and endorsed by refer
endum of the party membership, July
20, 1904.
1. The tociahst program is not a
theory impated upon society for its ac
ceptance or njection. Socialism is lin-evitable.
Capitalism is no longer compe
tent to organize or administer the work
of (he world. The trust is but a sign
and form of the developing socialism of
the worl.i's work. The universal in
crease and the uncertainty of erxmlov
ment.
The socialist party comes with the
only preposition or program for intolli
pent ly and deliberately organic the
nation for the common good of all its
citizens.
4. Socialism means that all those
liings upon which the people in com
mon depend, shall by the people in
common bo owned and administered.
5. The immediate demand of social
ism is tbat the socialist partv ilodt
-J M
t?elf to watch and work in both the
economic and political strngele for each
successive immediate interest of the
woikers class. For the insurance of
workers aeainst accident, sickness and
ack of employment For pensions for
aged and exhausted workers.
. For. public ownership of the
means of transportation, communica
tion and exchange, for the graduation
of incomes, inheritances, franchises and
land values, for the complete education
of children and the freedom from tbe
workshop; for the free administration of
justice for popular government includ-,
ing initiative, re'erendam and recall of
officers by their constituents. Munici
pal home rule and for every gain or ad
vantage for the workers that may be
wrested from the capitalist system and
that may relieve the suffering and
strengthen tbe hands of labor. We ly
nnnn everv man alactarl an
tire or legislative office the first duty of
striving to procure whatever Is for the
workers most immediate interest, but in
so doing we are using these remedy
measures as means to the one great eod
of the co-operative commonwealth.
7. To this end we pledge ourselves as
the party of tbe workers class to use all
political power as fas' as it shall be in
trusted to us by our fellow workers.
o T .. I - I i ...
o. in piuuginR ourselves ana thoss we
represent to be f-uthful to the appeal
which we make, c believe that we are
but preparing the soil of that economic
freedom lrom which will spring the free
dom of the whole man.

Cardinal Gibbons' Attitude
on Liquor Question.
Peach orchards are in bloom a
Irrigon.
A representative of the Gazette
visited Irrigon the first of the week
ana mere iouna tne nnest young
fruit orchards in Morrow county
ine people ot irrigon are very
busy this time of year pruning
and spraying their orchards.
An almond grove of Beveral
acres is one of this section's assets
and the little trees present
thrifty and healthy appearance.
irrigon win nave several car
loids of peaches this year and (
large amount of other fruit, be
sides worlds of watermelons
Early onions are now to be found
on the tables of this town and
other vegetables are well along. .
Alfalfa and other grasses are up
with a strong 6tart and the forest
trees are beginning to bud.
Irrigon produce is early and
in another year or so the early
markets will be Jcryirjg for their
fruits and vegetables.
Forest Grove compels by ordi
nance all persons engaging in the
mercantile business to enter into a
bond of 500 to the city that they
or their successors shall continue
in business for a term of sis months.

been agitating tl. .. question
is not a single c' in Great B-it-ain,
Ireland or ti e continent wh ch
attempts to proh bit the sale of li
quor. They hav- learned from ex
perience that the best method of
regulating this article of commerca
is to impose licenses, to maintain
good order for thn protection of tue
citizens and to punish tbe violators
of the law.
"I therefore maintain that high
license is tbe onlv solution of i ha
problem. The infliction of
upon the violators of the law for
the first offense, and the withd ;isr-
al of tbe license or even iniuri- n
nient for eubst-quent iufrMcti"i s,
would be proper puuishmen "
Baltimore Sun.
Cardinal Gibbons was seen last
evening at the arcbepiscopal resi
dence, North Charles street, and
was asked his opinion as to wheth
er or not local option should ap
ply to Baltimore. He replied:
"Local option should under no
circumstances applv to this city.
I regret to be compelled to return
to the subject, but as a citizen and
a church man wno loves his native
city I am profoundly impressed
with the sense of its temporal and
moral welfare.
"Liquor would be sold tere
quite as abundantly under prohi
bition law as under well regulated
license. The consequence will be
that liquor will be dUpansed con
trary to hw instead of being 6old
in accordance with law. Inen,
too, the city would be deprived cf
a large revenue which is too much
needed for the government of this
communitv.
"When a law flagrantly and ha
bitually violated it brings legisla
tion into contempt. It creates a
