As it looks from the advance of the Socialists the Kaiser would have difficulty in finding any town in Germany that did not have, or will not have, a Socialist representative in the reichstag.

The Potsdam Socialist recently completed a sentence of eighteen months detention for issuing an anti-military and is thus in especial disfavor with the Kaiser. The new member is admittedly a bright man. Germany seems to be on the way to make some history. Tail's Dodyguard NO president the United States ever-had was so carefully guarded as the present occupant of the white house. President Taft has in this respect nothing over his friend the Czar of Russia.

When Taft ventures out of the white house Archie Butt, whose name and function are identical, first re.connoiters the grounds and scans thf horizon to make certain that none of Taft's chosen people lurk in the vicinity. Next a body of plain-clothes men deploy and follow the movements of his majesty with eagle eyes and patriotic devotion. When tne street is reached the motor-cycle police wheel into line so that a complete cordon is formed about the precious personage of Wall street's holder of the national keys. When the president travels his palatial private car is a rolling arsenal and guard room. The sleuths are stationed from the platform in front to the water closet in the rear.

When his destination has been reached the whole police force of the city is detailed to special service in co-operation with the United States secret service agents and plain clothes men who make up the principal part of the president's special train, and when the presidential procession starts up the street it is under the escort not only of a platoon of police which clears the whole, thoroughfare and keeps the voting sovereigns at a safe distance, but the state militia and national guard are ordered out to make the presidential bodyguard complete in all its majesty and in every detail, as when the Czar of Russia ventures out among his starving subjects. When President Taft made his presidential campaign his special train was guarded as if an attack from an invading army was expected at every point, and before he ventured to place his foot upon the platform when a stop was made Archie Butt and his contingent of secret service agents preceded and surrounded him from the moment he leaves the car-until he was safely back in his presidential fort again. What a commentary this is upon a republic in which the people are supposed to rule! No wonder that even Roosevelt, who is himself no slouch when it comes to military pomp and display, should sarcastically refer to Taft's moral cowardice in his criticism of the recent peace banquet in New York where Taft was the guest of honor "with his strong arm squad preserving peace." Taft armed bodyguard is. a demai that tne united states oi nnicut is repUDUC. 11 symuonzcs liiiiiimy uiiiui- ism.

When we have a real republic such as Socialism will establish the president, if there be one, will walk freely and without fear among the free, happy and prosperous people whose servant he is. Gains The following comparative table made up of election returns in cities located In various parts of the country shows at a glance the tremendous gains la the Social ist vote durlnt; the last four years jboutSdlisro Has the senate ever performed any useful funciionT Seme people think each of the departments of government is necessary in order to put a check on the impulsiveness of the people The senate has been very useful to the master class in checking the interests of the people and preventing them really ruling America. It has not only failed to be useful to the working class, but it has also been a means of enslaving and robbing the toilers. There is only one right thing to do with these "checks" against the rule of the people, such as the senate, the interpreting power of the court and the veto power of the president, and that is, abolish them. Socialism has declared for this, and Socialism is absolutely; right.

Popular election of senators is mere mush with which to choke protest to death. How would a shot and luirness repairer get his money or bay for his labor under Socialism? If the public did not employ all and pay them equitably in large shops that used the best machinery, as would doubtless be the case in larger places, then the small repairer, in the small town, would get what he could, as he does today, his patrons paying him. But when did other labor become "his?" It is not "his," and would doubtless go to the public shop where it could get the best remuneration under the best conditions of labor. Besides, when people are able to afford good new things, there will be less wearing of patched clothes or shoes than there is now. And.

as the auto truck comes in, harness, the manacle of the beast, will gradually go out What is the single tax and hov would it benefit farmers? The single, tax is a nronosition to have no taxation ex cept that upon land values. Land in the city would be taxed very much more than farm land, of course. Unused land would be taxed as high as used land of like value, the improvements not being taxed. It would benefit the farmer, in that it would provide a tax that could be always located, not an insiduous, indirect tax; it would cause many holding lands out of use for speculation, to dispose of them, and so enable the dis- possessed to get land, bociansts noia that it is not the full remedy, because it would leave the profit system in existence, yet where it is to go to a referendum, as in Oregon, nearly all Socialists will vote for it, believing it to be a great advance over the present tax system. it be decided to purchase the industries, where will we get the money frrith which to do it? At the same place the present owners got it from the people.

This might come trom prohts on goods sold, until such time as those profits had paid for the industries. Did you ever reflect that, whether we purchase the industries or not, we will within the next fifteen years pay interest on all the investment, keep Up the plants and besides all that actually pay the full value of those industries? rhir cViinlrl nrvr own them the next time we pay for them? We are prepared to furnish to Socialist meit and women who desire It, a thorough education In law. They can obtain this without leaving their homes. The cost is verv moderate. Our first student made application for enrollment on October 7, 1911.

We now have 043 students. Kach mall brings enthusiastic letters from these students. It does one good to know we have ao many men and women preparing themselves for the great fight which Is now on to emancipate the working class. We are prepared to furnish Instruction for many more law students, and will be glad to have them. There should bo one or more good Socialist lawyers In every community in the United States.

If yon read this and can not take advantage of the opportunity yourself, try and find a reliable -and honest Socialist man or woman that you can recommend to take the work. We have Inquiries" coming all the time for Socialist lawyers, and could now place a vant number where they would have ood Socialist backing, and good business from the start. There Is no field of human endeavor, which now offers such opportunities as that v.hlch Is open to the good Socialist lawyer. Write us today for particulars as to our Correspondence Law Course.

I 'a 'r That such a small minority of the peo ple should nave tne power under our constitutional arrangement to prevent reform (amendments can hardly be reconciled with the general belief that in this country the majority rules. Patrick Henry clearly saw that this lack of adequate provision for amendment was destructive to democracy.

In the Virginia convention held to ratify the constitution he said "Is this an easy mode of securing the public liberty? It is, sir, a most fearful situation, when the most contemptible minority can prevent the alteration of the most oppressive government; for it may in many respects prove to be such." Populi and the Old Timer AWAY back in the distant past, in the age known as Once upon a Time, there lived a man named Populi. Now Populi was a very careless, neglectful creature. Nothing particularly intercstd him because the world always had turned and consequently al ways would turn. And, lorsooth, everything always had cone fairlv well with him and sd always would. And fairly well things did go until one day Popuu began to feel an itch.

True, the itch always had been with him, but now it seemed especially irritating. Now Populi's brain, being no different from the average brain in that ancient day, did not reveal to him the cause of his discomfort. But his instinct was -well developed and so Populi began to scratch. While thus frantically en gaged a man known as an old-timer came along. The old-timer, being democratic after the manner of his kind, sa luted Populi and said sympathetically, oot em, eh "Got what?" said Populi.

"Parasites," said the old-timer. "Kindly explain," said Populi. "Your clothing has become infested by the sons of profit," said the old-timer. "If you would waste less time in scratching and proceed to build a fire and boil your clothes, thereby de stroying the parasites and removing the cause of your trouble, you would soon teel hrst class. "But why be so radical?" protested fopuli.

the scratching seems to re lieve me." "Temporarily, yes," answered the old timer. "But it is only a reform meas lire and during its application the para sites arc increasing and multiplying just the same. "But I must scratch," remonstrated PopUli. "Surely you are not opposed to scratching. "Certainly not," replied the old-timer.

"but while you are scratching you should prepare to remove the cause of the itch, otherwise you will be compelled to scratch until all the hide is gone." So saying, the old-timer went his way, while Populi stared after him stupidly and continued to scratch. Jim Seymour. Government Work at the Canal I HAVE just crossed the zone on foot The work progresses nicely. We could not hear of either graft or stealing here. Uncle Sam puts a sufficient number of men at a job and the result is less bossing.

There is no loafing, but instead a noticeable enthusiasm and dignity runs through the whole mass of workers which comes from the social interest each feels. In spite of the many races and languages represented here, the United States government is accomplishing the greatest engineering feat known to history. It shows that the government can do things private capital cannot or does not do. It shows that the government can hire the inventive genius of honest men to construct and direct anything mankind needs. Had we used the money the army and navy costs annually, no bonds would have been needed to build the canal, no more than we bond the government to build a new postoffice building.

It shows that labor does employ capital. More than that, it shows that labor employs itself and that capital, the breed which demands interest, rent or profit, is unnecessaryS. The canal is a concrete example, largely built out of concrete, of what a public enterprise involving an expenditure of four hundred million dollars really is. It shows what an immense amount of the laborer's product is lost to him daily in the maw of the system. The results of sanitation here show that it pays to protect the laborer.

It shows that it is cheaper to guard the worker while at work than to pay him a pension after ward. The Panama canal is an eye- opener. 'It shows tnat co-operation today alone is sane and that business is mad. lhas. yvilhelm.

The Roosevelt Panic Still Here. From the Wall Street Journal. Report from the textile trade indicates that people are still wearing old clothes and are conservative about buy- 1 a ing new ones. Jimpioyment is not Dy any means so general as to warrant ex travagance among the working sections of the community, and it is doubtful if the professional classes have ever felt the pinch of necessity more severely. Our politicians see nothing but th workmen and the capitalists; while the doctor.

the lawyer, the minister, the broker and the clerk are ignored. It is claimed that there has been an advance in wages somewhat correspond ing to the large rake-off which certain favored producers and distributors se cure from high prices. This certainly does not affect the earnings of the pro fessional classes. Doctors fees and law yers fees are no higher than they were when the cost of living was at least 40 per cent less. It is true that when times are good people hesitate less about a two-dollar visit to the doctor, but times are not good just now and have not been for a long time past.

An il lustration seen in the great increase in the number of commercial failures in January, making the largest showing for that month for any year except 1008, which was the brief aftermath of the 1007 panic" So far from being surpris ing, it is astonishing that we have not had a greater volume of liquidation. There are observers who believe that 1007 has not been thoroughly liquidated yet. High prices and the long period of dullness must ultimately expose dry rot in many directions; and it is not surprising to find that the commercial world is shrinking tmdeithe strain even if the amount of money involved is not unduly large. Do not ask for list of snlscribers In yonr town or city from us. We furnish the state secretary a complete list of the state, and you can obtain It from him.

You can 1 read Socialism in. Literature just brings the public to believe that they want Socialism this is the first part of our task. But Socialism has got to be forged, hammered out; dug up, forced in and pushed on. Socialist party state conventions are suggesting their problems again. And, by the way, what is a' convention and what is it for? It is the state workshop of Socialism where the Socialism that the voters believe in is chiseled out by those who work at it.

In your community you hear people speak of a Socialist party. But is there a Socialist party, a local Socialist party? If so, where is it; who is it; how is it? You say your are a Socialist, but are you a part of the Socialist party? If not, then do you know who is, do you know why the other fellow is, and why you are not? If the other fellows 'would just vote, then how could j-ou be a Socialist. Anyway, what would be the uset of you being a Socialist without a Socialist party? Without an organization? Without members to pay dues? Without members to engineer lectures? Without members to plan campaigns? Without members to guard yictory? If you believe in democracy remember it means labor to be a democrat. You can't force a man to do his relative 'part as a democrat, without the will power you are not included in the democracy. The organization is the machine shop of construction.

Are you running your part of it? Clyde J. Wxkiit. Starvation in America From Plttsburz Dispatch. I the United States malnutrition I proves decidedly a problem, an issue springing at once into leading importance. It appears in 10 per cent of our school children.

Next to eye strain and bad teeth, malnutrition is the physical defect which constitutes our children's most serious handicap. That percentage of one-tenth of the total school 'population is no mere arbitrary figure. It comes as a result of studies conducted in ten typical American cities, including New York. Technically, malnutrition is the condition arising when, for any reason, the body's tissues are not receiving enough nourishment, first, to supply the energy needed, and, second, to supply the ma terials of which the tissues are built. Two forms of malnutrition are generally found.

One is where the child is strong enough, so far as normal amount of tissrie goes, but is deficient in energy. The other is where there is an actual lack of tissue where the child that is being stunted does not come up to the normal standard of its age and race; for it must always be remembered that the heredity which is confirmed into racial characteristics constitutes a factor of prime importance in judging the development of the young. Here we have the whole problem set before us: American conditions of malnutrition among its school children closely to European; dis- rease and deformity are frequent con sequences; deaths are numerous prior to school age a vast, if uncharted, roster ot minor malnutritions surround the conspicuous school cases reported with a heavy, steady drain by death upon the yung; a grave and steady impairment physically and mentally of at least 10 per cent of the survivors. The honest, plain truth is that people don't get enough to eat. They may get enough in point of bulk, but not enough in point of food values.

Dr. Robert Coit Chapin, of the Russell Sage Foundation, in his "Standard of Living Among Workingmen's Famines in New York City," took 1,200 families and chose 100 as typical, with average incomes; with average number of children, three, and average family, five. Amount of food consumed was kept account of, day by day; reports were given to the nutrition labratory at Yale; the foods were regularly analyzed lor their food values. Results, when com pared with the American standard, the Atwater standard, showed that the large majority of them were not enough to eat. getting The Enemies It Has Made.

Prom Issue. Portland, Me. The Appeal, according to Mr. Stelzle of the Men and Religion Forward Movement, is the "rottenest sheet ever published." William Iloyd Garrison's anti -slavery publication, the Liberator, was likewise the rottenest sheet ever published in the minds of the majority of clergymen sixty years ago. A paper capable of such a tribute from the enemies of the working-class is worthy of working-class support.

The Issue has made special arrangements with the "rottenest sheet published" whereby we can give both rotten sheets, the Appeal and the Issue one full year for fifty cents. If there is a working-man in 3-our locality foolish enough to believe the M. R. F. M.

Article: Russian and Turkish war of 1877; in a foot note is the following: "About thirty thousand skeletons of Russian and Turkish soldiers were shipped to England in 1881 as manure, in the form of bones or bone dust," For down-right heartlessness of the profit system this has almost anything "skinned to a finish." Geo. R. Hasbrouck. Tricked in the Constitution DR. ALI.ES SMITH, Professor In Washington University, St.

Louis. DEMOCRACY government by the people or directly responsible to them was not the object which the ramers of the- constitution had in view, but the very thing which they wisned to avoid. Accordingly the efforts of the constitutional convention were directed to the task of devising a system of government which was just popular enough not to -excite general opposition and which at the same time gave to the people as little as possible of the substance of political power. In the United States at the present time we are trying to make an undemo- rTntir rnt5tntirn trie vriir1e rf A m- cratic rule. It was framed for one purpose while we are trying to use it for another.

A man cot sentenaed to the work house for three months early yesterday morning and he thanked the Judge for sending him up, with tears of gratimde In uis eyes. The man was Henry Strauss, fifty-eight years, and homeless. For days be has been walking the streets without a hit of food and nearly frozen. He staggered Into tne Momsania station early Thursday morning, tried to make his way to the ueuTx-nani's aesic, leil to the floor ex Lansted.

When the man was brought to, he etam- merea out Hon want to go to a hospital. I would rather go to the workhouse. I was once a prosperous merchant." Iteserves carried Strauss to a rear room where warm food and clothing were given him. An hour and a half later he appeareu uerere Magistrate Ireschi iu the mens night court. -1 would have frozen to death.

he told the court. "1 have been wandering about the streets foe rinrs" Thrusting his Jiand into his pocket, be drew out a sandwich, he said he had been carrying several days. 'This is all that stood between me and tne beyond," he declared. He reeled and would have fallen, but Clerk Joseph Spencer caught him. "I am going to let-you go to the work nouse lor ninety said the court.

"You will have a home for three months. I wui he spring when yon come out With tears in his eyes the applicant then thanked the court. He said his wife diet eighteen months ago, and that since men ne naa wanuered about tne city. The Now York Association for Imnrov- ing the Condition of the Poor yesterday sent out an anpetl for assistance to meet the greatly increased demands for relief uy tne severe weather. since tne com snap the number of applications for food, clothing and coal has doubled.

During the last two days of last week the visitors spent for food and coal alone more than twice as much as they would under normal conditions. The association has also been called upon to at-8ist an unusually large number of families upon whom dispossess notices were served during the severe weather, in order to prevent them from being thrown out in the cold. The current income Is not sufficient to meet thoextra demands, to prevent, suf- lering amr irs consequences. Liberal as- blstance is asked. Why Is It? If a small merchant who has dealt with a bank for years, wants to borrow a hundred dollars for sixty days, he must give a pound of flesh and a mortgage on his life.

The banker explains that he must have real estate security in order to protect the peoples' savings. But when a capitalist wants to build a railroad all he has to do is to issue "bonds" and the banker (Wall street) will loan him $50,000 on every mile of railroad that costs only $10,000 per mile to build and before a dollar's worth of road has been built What kind of security is this for the people's savings? Yes, the small merchant has a wonderful opportunity under capitalism. N. J. Bropy.

From Call, Devils Lake, N. I). Preliminary statistics issued by the United States bureau of the census state than on January 1, 1910, 1 13.579 persons comprised the prison popula tion of the United btates, and that the number of commitments to prison during the year was 479,763. The proportion of prisoners to total population on January 1, 1910, was 125 to 100,000. The ratio of commitments during the year was 522 to 100,000.

These figures reduced to common terms show that at the beginning of the year one person out of every 800 in the United States was in prison and that during the 3-ear there was a proportion of one out of every 190 committed to prison. The smallest percentage of prisoners to population was in South Dakota, or 48 prisoners to 100,000 population. It was highest in ievnaa, or 353 prison ers to 100,000 population. The number of commitments was smallest in North Carolina. 123 per ,100,000.

The largest number of commitments wasin Ari zona, or 100,000. Hint to the Agitation League.

One of the new members elected to the reichstag as a Socialist is a lawyer in the Potsdam district, in which the Kaiser lives.

Again, from 1910 to 1911 the Increase was more than 100 per cent But this applies to totals only and does not Indicate the real percentage of Increase for the reason that some of the points in the list bad no elections at all in the first two years named. Tbo increases at most points In the list are so rapid as to be almost startling.

For instance, St. Marys, Ohio, polled but four votes in ISmjS. This Jumped to 307 In 1910 and 629 in 1911. The vote of Muscatine, Iowa, Jumped from 139 in 190g to 1,099 In 1911, an Increase of about 700 per cent. II the sflwne general average of Increase shown in these tables holds good ia the national election this year, the Socialist vote will approximate, three million In the United States.
