Exiting evils arc mainly duo
in the imperfections in the sys
tem cf production and distribu
tion. To etrecl a cure of these
tvjls, the sy»tem must be chan
ged.
In the early decades of this
nation the country was new and
opportunities unusually abun
dant. Industry was for the niosi
part carried on with simple and
inexpensive tjools. Handicraft
prevailed. Men worked separate
ly on their own account. Small
industry was the rule. All men
had approximately the same ac
cess to the means of production.
The wealth was somewhat equi
tably distributed.
Since that time tho simph
tool lias developed into iln
labor saying machine. Handi
craft has developed into ma
chine production. Isolated in
dustry ha° developed ito asso
ciated industry. Sint; 1 industry
has developed into great Indus
try. Gigantic trusts and coni
bines have monopoly d the in
dustries. Tlie vast bulk of tin
wealth lias gravitated into tin
hands of a few.
This industrial dcvolopmen
has dually evolved t\w
hostile classes: the capitu 1 is
class and the working class, fin
capitalists own the indusliic..
The workers are dependent on
the capitalists for an oppoitu
nity to make a living. The c;q
italists as such are parasites. In
so far us individuals who
are capitalists render useful so
cial sei vi .e, they are not capi
ta .lists. The workers a e emit id
to the full value of their laboi.
Thewor.ers work part of tin
day for their wages and tin
Contempt Of Court.
The Colorado Supreme Court
will hear ilie cubcs of tlie two
Socialists Murray .and Marians,
who wore convicted of contem^ t
of court for the circulating of a
recall petition againjl Judge A.
W. Mellendrio.
That N. Y. Factory.
Njw York lias started a mun
icipal factory for the unemplot
ed but the worker in this insti—
tion gets only time cheeks that
are good for food and lodging.
Now if Ihe time checks would n
*o purchase s;.o s hats and a ito
mobiles we presume that would
be anarchy. Ex.
rest lor nothing-, the value of
the surplus labor is appropriated
by the capitalists. There are
more workers than jobs. The
capitalists contend for low wages
They contend for long workday ’.
They contend for bad conditions
of labor. The workers contend
for a larger portion of the result
of their labor. They contend for
shorter work days. They contend
for better conditions of labor.
The interests of the two classes
are diametrically opposed.
A bitter class struggle results.
The greater capitalists crush
the smaller. The concentration
of industry and wealth into few
er hands squeezes out millions
of men. They drop into the work
king class. As a result the work
ing class is now in the overwhel
ming majority. It is constantly
growing in numbers. It is grow
ing in the conviction that it isen
titled to the full va tie of its )a
uor. '1 hese numbers, ibis con
viction and this determination
make it invincible.
its triumph is inevitable.
The capitalists maintain theii
supremacy by con rolling the
^owers oi government. i hey

An the powers of government,
.awmaiders, executives, courts,
armies, police, are used in the
interest of the capitalist class
and against the interests of the
vorking class.
To oust the capitalist class,the
working class must secure con
trol of the powers of govern
ment.
Todotjin, the workers must
unite at the ballot box.
They must elect the president.
'they must elect the gover
nors

'J hey must elect the judges.
They must elect the minor offi

parasites will be ousted, the wot
kers will take possession.
