On the other side of the world, in the heart of a great continent, a nation lies A nation of over .100,000.000 men, women and children. A nation where absolutism rears itself like a hydra-headed monster, striking its poisonous fangs again and again in- to the quivering flesh of the people. Russia lies on the other side of the worldâ€"thank goodness that she is so far awayâ€"and from her vast plains and her hillsides comes the weeping of wives and mothers for husbands and sons who have been led as sheep to the slaughter. Many of them, perhaps, have been forc- cd, like “ dumb driven cattle,” to par- take of the vices of war, and at last to feed the soil with their bloodâ€"for the “glory of the empire.” Through the doors of the huts where are left the wo- men and children, stalk want and star- ,yation. "As the bitterness of a Russian winter comes on, these helpless ones are wrapped in the pull of the threatening doom, andthc iron of despair enters the brain and soul, paralyzing them, and throwing them wide open for vice and degradation. - 1n the midst of these appalling con- ditions, a child was born in Russia. It was a male child, and immediately all the leading newspapers of the world an- nounced the fact. The people were in- terested. Thousands of them took ofl‘ their hats and crossed themselves. The child was an heir to the throne of the empire. He would one day be the cen- tre of all this bloody stage; he is the “ czarcviteh.” On the day of the christening of the czarevitch the longest and bloodiest battle in the history of wars was begun. During the first two days of this battle 5,000 men were slain. Three thousand of these were “subjects” of the king- dom over which the babe would one day rule. And yet the names of these poor men were not given. The papers of the world simply stated that “ 3.000 Rus- sians were killed.” They were given in a “ lump.” To read their names would be tedious and profitless. They were merely simple peasants who died that tho czarevitch might live. And the world cared more for the one royal baby who lived than it did for the 3,000 common men who died. Poor foolish world! It always kow- “ down ” to the under dog. And yells “down ” to itself every time it does it. Today the downmost man is the work- ingman, and the worker is the world. Outside of him there is nothing much but a. hollow pretense. That is why we must have vast armies and military sup pliesâ€"to protect the hollow pretense. They are never used to protect the re- alityâ€"the workingman. But when the workingman begins to lose some of his superabundancc of false modesty, and ceases to yell “down ” to himself, he will also cease to kowtow to the “ hol- low pretense” on top, and in that day wars will vanish from the face of the earth. For wars were never instituted for his benefit. They are only made to kill him, and he will never use them of his own accord. But when will the workingman grow strong in self-reli- superstition that holds him reverent to the “ powers that be ? "" . _ A The czar issues an imperial ukase; he wants more praying done. A. prayer has been specially gotten up for him, and in it is this: “ Thou who hoarkened to Moses, bless the emperor’s doings, multiply his glory arrows to confound the enemy. Strike them as with lightning and give them into the hands of Thy faithful troops. Strengthen us‘with Thy might, defend- er of the orthodox faith.” This prayer will be uttered in all the chapels and cathedrals of-the empire, and thousands of working men and their ‘wivcs will cross, themselves and say “Amen.” Goder forgive them: they know not. what they do. They are ut- terly oblivious to their own rights as in- dividuals, and-their brains are dulled with the poison cf erroneous teaching. But ovor against this hopeless pros- pectior a bonightcd war-ridden people who are covered with a capitalistic blight, comes the radiant visionlof a handful of souls who are filled with a fire that is destined to spread and cluansu- moiety of its defilement. » These are the Socialists 0f the world. Socialists in Japan to their comrades in . l tows to the man on to and .0119 . , , _ , p’ y and we believe this sentiment is much and confirm his cmpirc......Send Thy' tional churchinnity, and inquire into‘ the great “brotherhood of man ” move- ment, and see for itself that it is possi- ble to follow in fact. as well as in pre« tense. the life-teaching of the Naznrine. In this greeting, they say in part: “ We are comrades, brothers and =is- tors, and have no mum to fight. Your enemies are not the Japanese people, but our militarism and so-called patriot; ism. Patriotism and militarism are our mutual enemies. We are neither nihi- liste nor terrorists, but Socialists, and fight for peace. We cannot foresec‘ which of the two countries will win, but the results of the war will be the I sameâ€"general poverty, new and heavy taxes, the undermining of morality, and the extension of militarism.” What a difference, oh pretentious fol~ lower of Christ, between this and the imperial ukaseâ€"the czar’s prayer for help in the slaughter of men. And it is this spirit, manifested with such harâ€" r dihood, that is casting its radiance over the gloom â€"â€"for the people. For the world-powers, the czar, the German cmâ€" peror, and all empire-builders and pen- ple-crushers, this spirit‘ is a menace, a. handwriting on the wall. When Socialism has infected all peo- ple with its spirit of liberty and justice, the weeping of wives and of mothers for the loss of husbands and sons will cease. Through the doors of huts will cease to stalk the spectres of want and degradation and vice. Huts will vanish with their accompanying evils. Men will live as men, and women and child- ren will grow in beauty and sweetness us the flowers of the field. For the first time in its history, civilization will know the meaning of “ the brotherhood of man.” - Why Socialism Spreads. The Boston Herald, regarded gene« rally as one ~of the most conservative journals in the country. asserts that the not acting with the best discretion to preserve their ascendcncy of influence in this country. The assertion is un- doubtedly true. When wc consider the high order of ability common amongst the men who dominate the great corpc~ rations and trusts, it is almost incon« ceivable that they should permit their greed to so blind them to the dangers they are inviting. The tremendous Sc~ cialistic sentiment in the United States, greater than most people suspect. is due almost entirely to the oppression and classes are solely responsible. It has become the custom of certain people to speak oontemptuously of Sn- cialism as merely a theory of a few dis- ordered minds; but why should it be so regarded, when the people who embrace: such doctrines have before them the ex-- amples of the trust regime? The trust is itself an object leeson in Socialism. If a railroad combination is formed, the private in the ranks very naturally says to himself: “ If a small body of men can control all the railroads of the coun- try, cnd tax the nation for enormous profits for their own enjoyment, why cannot the government control the raii- roads and manage these utilities for the. once ? How soon will be throw of?“ :- b‘mefib Of a“ “"5 P°°Ple ? n The same argument applies to ail public utilities. and even extends to the private industries of the country. It". aided by the government. a few men control the production and sale of any commodity, if thcy can fix the price at which the producer must sell as well as the price at which the consumer must buy, why cannot the government of ail the people c0ntrol such industry for the public Welfare? Is the coal of the earth for the benefit of all the people, or for the especial glory and exaltation of a few men ? Is any great natural resource to be diverted from the benefit of all to the privilege of a few? The trust magnatcs may depend upon it that the conditions rife in America are not lost upon the great masses. Temporarily these vast combinations may flourish because of the clashing in- terests of those who are fieecud; but the time must come, it is inevitable, when the plundered many will square accounts with the privileged few-â€" 'Houston.
