What He Said to University of Cali- fornia Students. __- Yesterday morning I received a let- ter from a man in Arizona. It began “ Dear Comrade," ‘ and ended “‘ Yours for the Revolution.” I answered that letter this morning. I began “ Dear Comrade," and I ended “Yours for the Revolution.” - There are‘500,000 ~men in the United States beginning and ending their letters as ourlctters were begun and ended There are 1000,000 men in France, 3000000 in Germany and 6,000,000 men in the World beginningr and ending their letters as ours wurc begun and ended. Now, what do these facts mean? 'l‘hey mean that the Revolution is here, now. We are in it. It noes on every day. No man can eanpc it. Oh, it is great! There has been nothing like it in the world before. Its battle cry is: “ \Vorkingmcn ot‘ the world, unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains. You havca world to gain.” Our Revolution was a merely local thing compared with ‘this. The English Revolution was a merely local thing compared with it. And so was the French Revolution. This Revolution is as wide as the earth. Its men clasp hands around the globe. The Japanese Socialist hails the Russian Socialist, and the German Socialist hails the French Socialist with. the same word that we California Socialists hail each other with, the noble word “ Comrade.” But Why are these men Socialists? What is it that drives them unccasing- ly to work for the Revolution, to go to prison for it, to go into exile for it, to die for it? ~ When I was in Londonhwritinuf my book, “ The People of the Abyss.” I went down to Kent with a London Cock ney to pick hops. One night, when go. ing to bed, I stripped. My chum looked in wonder at my brawuy body glowing with health, and then at his owu scraw ney body, white and lifeless. He said, holding out his arms and legs, “they 000 people live on the poverty line and below it, and another million with one week’s wages between them and pan- perism. In Europe 60,000,000 people sutier from hunger and want. Here is a statement from the celebrat- ed English scholer, Frederick Harrison, They are usually sold u To me, at least, it should be enough for much higher figures. 7w.

He is a university man, and a trained investiga- tor. I-Iis name is Robert Hunter. His book is called ” Poverty.” It has just been published by the Mucmillans, and costs $1 50. Read it. Mr. Hunter says: “ There arc probably, in fairly pros- perous years, no less than 10,000,000 persons in poverty; that is to say, no- dcri'ed, undcrclothcd and poorly housed. public paupers. Over 2,000,000 work- ing: men are unemployed from four to six months in the year. About 500,000 male emigrants arrive yearly and seek work in the very districts where Illl‘. un- employed are the most numerous. Nonr- ly hull' of the families in the country are propertyleSs. Over 1,700,000 little chil‘lrcn are forced to become wage earners when they should still he at school. About 5,000.000 women find it necessary to work. and about 2,000,000 of them are employed in Factories. mills,- ctc. Probably no less than 1,000,000 workers are killed or injured each year while doing thcir Work, and about 10;- 000,(l00 persons now living will, it the present ratio be kept up, die of the pre- ventable disease, tuberculosis.” l mighth on for a long time quoting Huxley, Alt're'l Russell, Wallace, .llillL Spahr. Brooke, Downtree and others. It is the Facts cited and those found in the books of the men above, and the glorious ideas of Socialism, that keep them ever young. , About three years ago' I went into the Klondike, and I Saw there a body of Indians called the Inuuits. There is an immense diii'crence in time between them and us. v- They are ‘still in the Bone‘Agc, yet those men are. all, in good times, well provided For; in bad times they suffer, but they all suffer together. How is it with us? 'We have, as [said before, a body of 10,000,000 men, wo- men and children in poverty alwaysâ€"- we who are the greatest producers the world has ever known ; we, who by ma- chinery make one man produce cotton cloth for 250 people, woolens for 300, and boots and shoes for 1.000. What do we call the industrial System we are under? We call it the capitalist system. What do we call its managers? We call them capitalists. I say, then, that the capitalist. system which has so grossly and criminally mismanaged our indus- trial life must be swept away, and the Socialist system be put in its place. But you ask me “ What are you So- cialists going to do? What are your ideals and ideas?” I answer: “ We propose todestroy present-day civili- zation, that is. capitalist civilization, with its brutal struggle of man with man for lifeâ€"by the ballot, which is free, be it forever rcmgmbcrcdéâ€"and re- place it by a better civilization, a civili- zation whose principle shall be “enroll for all and all for each.” ' 7 My friend. George Sterling, Speaking at tho Ruskin club to the Round Table, on “Why am I a Socialist,” said: " I am a Socialist because Socialism is the one clean, noble and live thing in the world to-day worth fighting for.” Now, mark you, Mr. Sterling did not say that Socialism is the only clean and noble thing in the world to-day; there are many clean and noble things in the world today. He said : " Socialism is the one clean. noble and live thing in the world to day worlhfighting for." And yet, as I look over the universi- ties ot' my land to-day, I sue the stu- dents asleepâ€"asleep in the face of the awful Facts I have given you; asleep in the greatest? revolution that has ever come to the world. Oh, it issad ! Not long ago. revolutions began and broke out in Oxford. To-day,Rnssian uni- versities secthe with revolution. I say to you then: “ University men and wu- men, you men and women in the full glory of life, there is a cause that up- pcals to all the romance in you. Awake to its call. 1 Line up! Line up!

Capitalism’s Inferno. .Dr. A. S. Daniel, of the New York Infirmarv tor Women, recently address- ed the Woman’s Municipal League on “ Illegal Sweatshop Work." She acid that children as young as four yt-zars age were regularly employed in some of the thirty-three trades which tlr law allows to go on in tcnementrJ..nnns. “Some time ago a child of one am one- halt' years Was brought to the New York Infirmary for treatment,” sud Dr Dan- icl. “ After some days the child’s mulli- cr come and took her away.
