President Taft is quoted as favoring
a postal savings system Perhaps so
and so are the people Incidentally
the Republican platforms have favored
the system which is in vogue now in
practically every civilized nation on the
globe But unhappily Uncle Joe
and Boss Aldrich are on the other side
and they quite recently demonstrated
tnat tney and tne interests are a
bigger combination than the American
people
Time was when saloon interests re
garded the Slocumb law with strictest
aversion as a menace to the liberties of
the people Now they are very much
in love with that trust law as the great
er menace to the traffic county option
looms up in the not distant future
This determined and purposeful appari
tion already looks to the Dahlman tribe
as the first step to prohibition Its
consummation in Nebraska will not long
be deferred county option is at the
door

Ballinger in the role of killing
snakes reminds us of the story of the
hanging of a cattle rustler who had ac
cumulated some hundred head of cattle
in a brief season from a few lank and
long homed Texan cows Before being
hanged the rustler was asked to make a
speech but replied that although he
was the one most vitally interested in
the matter perhaps he had the least
enthusiasm in what was transpiring
County lines may account for tho
difference In Red Willow county the
Democrats largely voted the Republican
ticket at the late primary The Hast

With Dr Cook and Commander
Penry both discovering the top of the

remarkable coincidence important if
true which is sufficient to keep the

I am a Socialist because for moro than
fifty years I have been imbibing with
every breath of my life that spirit of
personal freedom and liberty native to
our soil a spirit which promotes a love
of freedom and liberty that flourishes
nowhere on earth as it does in the
pioneer settlements of our western
states whoso broad plains in these seats
of future empire have given birth in the
minds and hearts of their sons to a sen
timent of freedom and a lovo of fair play
that bears with it a persistent and an
unconquerable demand for dqual rights
to all men Why the very magnitude
of tho expanse of tho lands we have
chosen for our place of dwelling speak
to us of unlimited freedom the stupen
dous compass of our horizon line is sug
gestive of unrestricted human endeavor
and the vastness in scope of our sun
lighted prairies declare it And the
sweep of mighty winds shouts it or our
gentlest flower perfumed breezes whis
per or ireeaoni to us Ana tuese are
the environments that have shaped my
thoughts from tho time of my earliest
recollections or from the days of my
childhood when the silence the vast
ness and the solitude surrounding a
frontier homo in the then territory of
Nebraska first impressed me These
silent forces have been the constant
source of thought and meditations that
have thus prepared my mind for tho ac
ceptance of the truths of Socialism
Socialism furnishes the only philoso
phy which can satisfy a true disciple of
human freedom since it is in its funda
mental essence democracy reduced to
its lowest terms
Socialism is a demand from the great
heart and soul of human love and sym
pathy for a government of the people
by the people for all the people
Socialism is the only effective barrier
ever sought to be placed between the
greed of avarice and its helpless human
victims
Socialism is the only Magna Char
ta human society may know for it
6ears in its demands the only emanci
pation proclamation that may never be
subverted and its beneficiaries be thus
reduced to a more galling state of servi
tude than before
Socialism contemplates a government
among men in which the will of the
people shall be the supreme law with
the only power of veto or annulment
lodged in the ballot of the voter It
proposes a system of government where
the officials shall be in the truest sense
the servants of all the people with the
tenure of office absolutely at the will of
the people so that whatever the people
elect their servants to do they will do
with the same alacrity that hired men
on the farm or in any of the privately
owned industries do today and for the
same reason since the officials position
as well as his bread and butter would
then depend on his prompt and faithful
attention to the duties of his office
Is there a man anywhere with brain
so dull and mind so sluggish and obtuse
that he believes that with the power to
propose such laws as the majority of all
the people demand and the right to
force their enactment the people would
experience the same difficulty in getting
such laws as they desire as men now
experience in getting anj desired meas
ure enacted into law
Will some man now rise with mind so
feeble as to declare -that if the voters of
any commonwealth had a right by their
votes to pass upon the desirability of all
laws with the power to repeal all ob
noxious laws tnat the people would
suffer from such obnoxious laws or for
the lack of good ones longer than it
would require to vote the repeal of tho
bad ones and their approval of the good
ones
These are the demands of Socialism
in its fundamental principles that all
government must emanate from all the
people and that it must find its min
utest detail as well as its sublimest
dignity of expression in the manifest
will of the people
In other words the fundamental de
mands of Socialism are
First The initiative or the right of
the people to propose such laws as they
desire with the power to force their en
actment into statutes
Second The referendum or the right
of the people to pass upon the desirabil
ity of a law before it can become effect
ive
Third The imperative mandate or
the right of the people at any time to
recall any official regardless of any
fixed term of office and at the same
time to elect his successor
These three propositions are the fund
amentals of Socialism as applied to po
litical governments and all the other
demands of Socialism with reference to
industrial organization under the man
agement of the state are demands of a
secondary importance for it is clear
that these primary propositions must
first prevail in the political government
before those secondary propositions of
an industrial nature could possibly ob
tain in the social order sought to be
established by Socialists Then why
do you shy at Socialism Since all per
sons if of only mediocre intelligence
must assent to the righteousness of the
fundamentals of Socialism and since if
