Every day the astounding results of that recent Socialist peace congress at Basle, Switzerland, becomes clearer to every person who is observing the trend of things in Europe 3 and every day it becomes clearer also that the congress changed the whole course of history, and put forth such a power as had never been‘known before in inter- national afl‘airs. Here is something to For a Happy and PrOSperous New Year Edfhdéfifié . ‘ We have everything necessary 3 g 3 gene SLATEhi .. Marianna... g i 3 i A few men come together from all the countries of Europe. They have no official standing; they are not states- men nor conspicuous figures, nor con- nected with governmental administra- tions. They never appear in press despatches. Most of them are un- known outside of the places in ‘which they live. But they make one decla- ration against an impending war, and that war averted. The whole situation in Europe undergoes a. most marvelous change. The government in every country suddenly discovers that it wants no war. Until these men spoke war was regarded as inevitab le ; after they had spoken, impossible. Peace is assured. Kings, emperors, govern- ments, ministers, cabinets and parlia- ments are nething in the presence of this extaordinary and impressive man- ifestation. These few unknown men had but to meet and raise their hands, and the Whole gang of war makers fled shrieking. ' What was it that gave these few men such an authority that every court in Europe was obliged to heed what they said? They were the voice of united labor; that was all. They were expressing the final determina- tion of the millions of united workers in Germany. the millions of France, the other millions of every European country; and before that expression, all other power seemed to crumple up, and prime ministers and Chancellors and the other gentlemen that usually live in the lime light to become some absurd kind of puppets or lay figures. The real power. ofithe world had spo- ken; that was all. The power that usually is silent and goes on without a word, doing the world’s work and supporting the lay figures and holding them in the hollow of its unresisting hand ; that alone enables my lord to look grand and important : that solely provides the pomp and glory of gov- ernment and says nothing about it; that enables the prime minister to live and to strut and to mouth and bat- ten around the state preserves; that keeps the wheelst‘urning and the fires alight; that alone is of any import- ance in the world and yet ardinarily has no part in the products of its toil ; that is the subject of the jest and mocking of the parasites it alone keeps alive; that has always been despised and derided and spat upon ; that has of Groceries.

Fenelon Falls Branch had nothing but buffets and scorn and crusts to live upon, and yet has alone loaded the tables of the rulers; that» has given them all the necessities and,“- every convenience of civilized life ;.:' that has allowed itself to be the door‘ mat of the wcrld; this great giant lias' stirred at last, and it had but to raise its head and say a word and the pup- pets stood aghast. A united class ;. that was all. \Vonderful lesson! Give to it your best heed; the spectacle is worth all you or any men can devote to it. The real power that moves the- world shines suddenly through all the pretense and fake; you get a glimpse - of new things, possible and impending, n such as were never hoped for exce‘pt ‘- in dreams. Suppose all the workers of the world were united. Suppose we had a united working class in the United States. Suppose all the workers should grow weary of being faked and fooled and‘ haltered in the tread mill. Suppose they should tire of furnishing all good things for their masters and demand good things for themselves. Suppose . they should cease to be divided by one trumpery foolish issue after another, and say “ There is nothing of any im- portance to us in this world except our class and its emancipation and its:- welfare.” There would be absolutely" no limit to the achievement for good“: of such a power. It could do far" more than merely avert wars and in- sure peace and put an end to the arm- ament insanity. There is not one war» thy reform for" which good men and= good women hope afar off that it could not bring to pass. There is not one good cause that it would not include. There is not one evil social condition that it could not abolish. It could re- make human life. It could make edu~ cation the universal inheritance in- stead of the exclusive possession of a few. It could abolish p0verty. It could obliterate every slum and every filthy tenement. It could provide for" every family a comfortable, healthful’ and happy home. It could end all the afflictions that flow from the slums and deluge society and grow worse and more alarmingâ€"Charles Edward Russell in “ The Coming Nation.” The capitalists are doing.- t 'eir brst" to uphold the glorious liberty of or e wage slave to outbid another worker: for a job. If you think you are a free man'- and can say what you like, just begin talking Socialism in the shop, and see how quickly you will be out of a job and blacklisted. » A bread famine and bread riot now threaten France. This is but another sign of the approaching cataclysm that: will overwhelm the exploiters. Bread riots are generally the precursors of revolution. . rm , «WWâ€"aw..- - 191.3- a n‘ v_. ’ 1'.
