What Socialism Is.
Appeal to Reason:
Socialism is misrepresented,
just as every new idea is misrep-
resented. Things that are false
are told about it, sometimes with
knowledge that they are false,
sometimes in the belief that they
are true. A brief statement of
what Socialism is mav be in or-
der.
Socialism is a plan to set aside
the robbery of the worker
through profit, interest and rent
and to insure him employment
at all times and the full social
product of his toil. It is pro-
posed to accomplish this by plac-
ing the highly developed tools of
production and distribution—too
large and expensive to be longer
owned and operated as individ-
uals—under collective ownership
and domestic control. This
would at once place the whole
people, who would own these
things, in possession of what
they produce, without the inter-
vention of an owner or boss, and
enable them to retain all they
might produce. This is all there
is to socialism. It has no secrets.
It is not a system of laws which
it wishes to impose on others,
but a plan, a method, through
which it would give the working
people control of their own lives.
It is nothing more than the ex-
tension of the American princi-
ple of democracy, a further so-
cializing of things, begun when
roads, schools, postoffices and
like things were socialized. It is
socialization of industries, and
no more to be feared, no more
difficult of understanding, than
are the socialized or common
schools. ^
Socialism is not opposed to
private property. Indeed, its
whole aim is to make it so that
all people may have private prop-
erty, rather than only a few mil-
lionairs as at present.
Socialism is not un-American.
It is merely an extension of the
principles set forth by the revo-
lutionary forefathers. The
American movement is as has
been found by careful census
composed of more than 60 per
cent native Americans.
Socialism is not a scheme, de-
pending entirely on agitation for
success. It is the growth of an
idea. As proof of that fact, it is
world wide. Socialism on essen-
tial points, is the same all over
the world.
Socialism ip not opposed to the
American flag. American So-
cialists use the flag. They use
the red flag also as an interna-
tional symbol. The stars and
stripes would not do in England
or Germany, but the red flag,
representative of universal broth-
erhood, can be used anywhere.
The. red flag is not the symbol
of anarchy. Anarchists use the
black flag.
Socialism is not anarchy. It is
the opposite of it. Anarchy be-
lieves in no government. Social-
ism believe in further organiza-
tion, a perfected organization
that shall include the social life.
Socialism is not narrow. The
fact that it includes all races and
all beliefs proves this. It ex-
pects to win the world, and it
could not do this, and would not
deserve to do it, if it had designs
on censoring the beliefs, or pe
culiar mannerisms, or ways of
thought, of anyone. It wishes
only to end exploitation and se-
cure a higher and juster civiliza-
tion.
Socialism is opposite to divid-
ing up. The workers now divide
up with the owners of the ma-
chine, and Socialism would stop
this outrage.
Socialism is the friend of the
home. Under capitalism two-
fifths of the people are renters,
and another fifth own homes un-
der incumbrance. Socialism will
make it possible for all to own
good, camfortable homes free of
debt.
Socialism is a friend to religion
At present so-called "Christen-
dom,'is an armed camp, where
poverty and crime are visible
everywhere. Socialism will end
war and poverty and establish
full religious tolerance. Under
these conditions religion could
thrive as it can not now.
Socialism is a friend to mar-
riage. Under the present con-
dition thousands of girls are be-
trayed into white slavery for
the profit of it, and other thou-
sands forced to prostitution by
economic necessity. Many men
and women are unable to marry,
and many who do marry are un-
able to raise their children as
they should be raised. When
Socialism insures to each work-
er employment at all times and
the full product of his toil, there
will be no more forcing of wo-
men to prostitution, no inore
slum life, no more fear of getting
married because of poverty.
Then marriage can occur and
every family will be safe.
When the digestion is all right,
the action of the bowels regular,
there is a natural craving and
relish for food. When this is
lacking you may know that you
need a dose of Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets.
They strengthen the digestive
organs, improve the appetite
and regulate the bowels. Sold

The Texas
The dissemination of infor
has largely to do with the prosperit.
and development of a country. In no
country on the globe does Nature -
possess such astounding possibilities
and reveal them in such rapid and
cumulative order as in Texas, making
an imperative necessity for news-
papers in tlie home of every farmer
who desires to profit by the gifts of
Nature and the experience of his
neighbors.
There are 950 publications in Texas,
of which 89 are dailies, 768 weeklies,
nd the remainder are issued at reg-
ular intervalThe total listed cir-
culation of all papers in Texas is
3,170,515 copies, an average of* four
papers for each family in the State.
In the number of papers published
within the State we rank sixth in the
Union; Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio.
Iowa anl Missouri leading in the
order named. The Federal Govei
ment census for 1905 reports ca_
invested in printing and publishing ji
Texas of $6,074,319, a pay roll of
£2,063,935 per annum, and the annual
output is valued at $7,782,247. Among
the industries of the State it ranks
sixth in capital invested,- fifth in pay;
rolls and sixth in the value of prod- ;
ucts. One issue of all the papers in | / .

from a population basis we lead alP
States in the Union in the number of
periodicals issued and the number of
copies printed.

Texas stands first in intelligence,
first in progress and first in industrial,
opportunities of all the States in the
Union, says the Texas Commercial
Secretaries' Association.
The newspaper is the channel of
communication between the producer
and consumer; brings the city* to the
farm and the farm to the city; crives
information of the markets and of the
development of the country; can
warnings of impending danger i
gives the farmer the advantage of
experience of all his neighbors i
informs him of the general'condition
of affairs so essential to his success.

The improvement of our oubjic high-
ways and the establishment-of rural
free delivery routes have extended^*
zone of circulation of the press to '
remotest sections of the State,*
reading the papers is as much
of the* work of the Texas farmer
feeding his stock.
Four Papers Per Family.
The ability of a farmer can l e as
easily judg'ed by the literature he
reads as by the crops he harvests. The
printing press is the industrial educa-
tor of the age.
Old Maids Healed
A new form of insurance has
been devised in Genoa, to secure„
women against destitution in
case they remain unmarried.
Any girl of 17 years and over
who fears that she may become
an old maid, may take out a pol-
icy for such an amount as she de-
sires and by paying an annual
premium, the company under-
takes to give her an annuity for
the remainder of her life if she
remains unmarried until the age
of forty. The amount of the an-
nuity depends upon the amount
of the policy, being more or less,
according to the premiums paid.
In case the insured person mar-
ries she is entitled to a settle-
ment based upon the ordinary
rates of interest upon the prem-
iums she has paid.
