A profound faith in the ultimate rc- alization of human - brotherhood and comradesbip is implied. by the very home we Social Democrats bear. Good old Bronterre O’Brien, who in the rich min: of his powerful mind coined the phrase we do so proudly write for name upon 'our banners, sounded the very depths of our philosophy and scaled the heights of our faith ’whcn' he declar ed, more than sixty years ago, that Brotherhood could never be realized in the world until Liberty reigned in the I world; and that «Liberty could never "reign in the World until the System per- mitting private ownership of socially necessary things was destroyed. "' So when we to-dny declare for the social ownership of all socially necessary things, when we denounce the system which makes private property master of the common life, when we urge our do- mauds that the. means. of: the common I, ._ life, produced as they are-by the com- mon labor and experience of the world, be owned in commen, we are more than a'mcre political party aiming at politi- Cal supremacy. Wenre the apostles of the great. universal religious impulse, the-faith of Humanity that the Broth hood of man shall yet be universally recognized. ' " , Thus we proclaim our faith in the _ highways and byways ot the world, and sing it in our songs. We are the heralds of the Golden» Age of Peace. “ The day it‘comiug," we ery, “ when the cannon’u roar will'bo silenced by the Ponceâ€"Song of a free and gladsomc world. The day is coming, its dawning is at hand, when Socialism, triumphant, ' shall break down the last barrier that kcepsdown a single child from the full~ est enjoyment of the vast heritage pre- pared for it through long centuries of pain and toil. The day is at hand when there shall be no man master of ouoth- or’s bread and life; when the words “ master ” and “ slave " and all their hypocritical latter-day equivalents shall pass from human speech and memory. The day is‘ncnrer’than most oi us know when the goulish coining of little child- ren’s lives into dividends shall cease. and the tender babes be given their nat- ural fellowship with bird and flower." “ Dreams ls Dreamsl Only dreams l ” you say. Yes, we are dreamers, and this is our great and glorious dream. But before you sneer at the dreamer or the dream, look at the great army of dreamers. Yonder down-trodden peasant on Rus‘ ssian steppe, bowed with oppressive toil, dreams that dream, sees that vision of the load of his life is lightened. And that poor mother in Siberian cxilo, torn from the home where she was the loveâ€" crowned queen, could not bear the an- guish of her lone exile but for the same vision. _ In German workshops and gurrisons, the tired workers and pullid prisoners dream the same dream, and their faces ’are lit of the some hope-light. From the vineyards of France and from her cities comes the sound of glad songs: they are'singing of the same hopo. And Italy and Spain join in the strain. From England’s industrial bells and from the abysms of her great cities, those frightful dons of misery and squalor, a shout of increasing volume tells that they have seen the some vis- ion‘nnd dreamed the same dream as that which inspires the workersof our own land from the crowded tenements of New York to the crowded tenements of San Francisco; on the small New England farm and the great. prairie w'hoat farm; in the coal mines that ho in the heart of the Alleghenios and the metulliferous Mines of the Rockies. - In for of Australia tens of thousands of toilers. gathered from all'climes and sneaking all tOugues find inspiration in the same dreum. .II is life itself to And where Africa’s millions gather in mine or factory, upon the cities’ streets or the great karon, the dream unites Bocr and Briton. Kutfir and. White in one strong brotherhood. And even mid tho bottle's din. whore Russ slave and an slave fight till their blood minglcs in one red stream at the nidding of their masters, the vision upâ€" penrs and hatred, ignorant, blind hate- rud. is banishedtrom many a heart. [-lowvast the army of dreamers l ~Time was when only the loneprophet in Israel dreamed such'a dream or saw such a vision. He saw through the I eenmries the time to be: "I" when the , 7 swords shall be beaten into plows-hares l _ y H ‘ ‘ ‘ g ' V - u and the spears into pruning llflle‘. aredeemed and revivified world, and ' party worthy of respect. [Ia told of his vision. but men tlot'ilcl and cried out. “ Dreamer of rain dreams l” ' The number of the propheu grew but slowly. The lonely Nazu'euc, homeless and poor; Campuuvlli. th: Italian monk; Sir Thomas More. Slim: Simon and Fourscr, Robcr: Owen and the brave German tailor, Wilhelm l);ir- ling. So the line of the “ dreamers " grow cnd'épuuned the centuries. But not till the clarion call offtho great twin spirits, _ Marx and Engels. callednpon the workers of the world to unite did we realize that the poweriu make the vision rcul- rested entirely with ourSelvcs. ‘ ' ’ .Now how the army of dronm'ersfhns grownl .And how it growl. It is no longer the dream of the lone prophctor of the poet. It. is the dream new of millions in'ull‘lands, 'ofall'crcods, of all tongues._ It is the dream of nations now. a And as liov'voll truly sings: “ The dream: that: nations dream come: true I ” " ' - ' Aycfsu'ch dreams “ come true.” No power 'can prevent the fulfilment of the “dream” 'Of the world’s brain and heart. our red flag, symbolizing as it does our World-kinship and fraternity and the seas of martyr blood shed for the causo, shall'yct float in triumph from every state ,capitOI in the land; Aye and from the Capitol in Wash- ington it shall proudly flyâ€"to be aus~ wered from across sous by like emblems of the" Socialist triumph of our com- rades in Europe and Asia, Africa and Australasia. v r ' ” Softly sweet as living springs Mighty hopes are blowing. wide : Passionate porfigurings Of a world rovivi’fied, Dawning thoughts that, era they not, Shall possess the Ages yot l’,’ 0.. ‘ Old at Seventeen. Louise Fiske Bryson, the woman speu cinlixt, who has just completed an in- vestigation into the child labor question in New York, says: “ In this city 20.- 000, too young to even know what Work means, are at work. and stunted and diseased bodies are to be their heritage. They arelold at seventeen; their lives are over at forty. And the pity of it is that no necessity, but greedâ€"pitilcss, grasping, selfish greedâ€"43 the source of this lamentable condition. “ Poor little things. They are rather “damned” than. born into the world. Under the conditions in which they are brought up, it is producing a nation of dwarfs. To thousands of little children the country is free in only one sense: free to, die in. “ My investigation has been as to the physical effect that work has upon the little toilers. It would make one’s heart bleed to see what I have seen. The photographs which I have had taken of the little victims of this brutal system form a terrible indictment. I wish that; I might make them public, so that the. whole world could be astonished at the evil that is going on right under its very eyes, and to which good men and good women are indifferent. “This ‘is what ‘ prosperity’ under capitalism means. And we look in vain for help to either of the old parties to this infernal system, simply because it means business.” -swâ€" Capitalists Will Do Nothing. What do the capitalist parties propose to do towm'd abolishing child-labor, the social evil, extent shops, etc. ? Nothing; There is nor. a word in their platforms touching these matters. :for the reason that the conditions which prodhce these evils are precisely theconditions'which produce dividends for the cipitnlist class. The legislation proposed by _“ re- formers ” of the L't Folletto type. and the charity doled out by such “ philan- thropists ” as Carnegie, amount to no- thing so long asthe capitalist cla’ss pos- sess the, too-ls of production, and can regulate wages and prices so as :to rte-- cure the largerpnrt of labor’s product. Even though the capitalists, from moâ€" lives of" humanity or self interest, may make ouncessions coacerning conditions of employment. the workers are little better off “ Wage slaves under better conditions remain wage stluvus still." And wage slavery breeds misery and crimo,â€".~le.e Vdnguard.\ ' v r â€"â€"â€""-~â€"â€"’-'--â€"-‘-r-‘.t- . . .
