THE SOCIALIST LECTURE.
R F. Ramp pive a socialist
lecture, Friday night, in tin
Star Theater building- to n con
siderable audience, which took
quite well with some while other
persons present could see little
or nothing in it.
Socialism is just like any oth
er ism, at least in wu respect,
and the hearer must be atuned
to it before he can see any beau
ty or worth there, and while the
dream, as it is some times called,
is more or less Utopian, yet there
is much of truth in what the
speaker said and no person, who
will take thought for a moment,
will deny that there is some
thing very radically wrong with
the system, and that ii ought to
be righted, but there are dif
ferences of opinion as to the
means of procedure.
The Republican party be
lieve, that is the majority of the
rank and tile, that the party can
bring prosperity, but ever since
the .Sherman law was enacted,
republican administrations hav
been whacking at the trusts,
while those same institutions
have grown more poweiful and
more numerous under such
supervision.
The Democratic party thinks
that its system could do the
trick if it only had the chance,
but when it was" in power
it i'ailed to hold its job be
cause of the deflection of
part of its members, and during
their last trial hard-times over
took the country and the blame
was saddled upon them.
Taft, before becoming presi
dent, was asked: What a starv
ing man out of employment
could do? and replied: ''God
only knows," and the question'
is still unanswered.
The Socialists now 'come
forward and ask a trial; they
point out many things that are
wrong; they are becoming
strong and unless the evils they
decry against are coi rected, they
will become stronger, but when
we look the field over, carefully,
we do not see anything very
promising ahead this side the
millenial period, but between
intervenes a period of chaos, oi
strife, in which man will com
plete his trial to govern and
bring about increased peace,
sink in defeat and acknowledge
his inability to rule.
Socialism is the result of the
people awaking to the fact that
the masses are being exploited
and robbed and enslaved by the
exploiters and the agitation thus
started. causes friction, and from
the friction will come the at
tendant conditions which must
be passed through.
"As it was in the days of
Noah, so will it be in the end."
As conditions arose under chat
tel slavery, so will financial
slavery, bring its toll of woe;
man won't recognize the Creater
and bv his own wisdom he can't
bring peace.
We formulate our own plans;
we elect our executive oilieers
and reach out to secure certain
conditions and why don't we
secure them ? Hecause our Con
gresses are swayed by Wall
street and its minions; they
swerve congress and coerce
government, using their means
to bring, about conditions pecul
iarly in their own interest and
detrimental to the natiim as a
whole. No party will secure
universal peace and prosperity
until eternal wisdom guides the
ship into the tranquil haven of
justice to all and recognition of
the divine right of the Creator.
Kither Roosevelt's popularity
is not nearly so great as be sup
posed or else the public aversion
to a third term is stronger than
he estimated, a I least that old
beaver is getting some hard
buffs. First' it was a kick from
North Dakota, then New York,
Colorado, Indiana and Iowa
registered and the Colonel's
presidential possibilities have
lowered while Tafts chances for
renomination has rieii corre
spondingly. Hack to the farm has become
the slogan generally heralded
throughout the land, but this
week the cry throughout "fan
dom" is "Hack to the baseball
held.

far away may be reached, for the Bell field is almost limit
less. It relieves the monotony of life. She cannot be
lonesome with the Bell Service at her command. It is a
constant source of pleasure and profit in the home circle.
Talk it over with our local manager.
