In all great crises the place to look for the redeemer of the race is not in the palaces of religion or the palaces of justice, but in the prison cells or on the road thereto. Moses had to flee from the Egyptians. Socrates died in a cell. Christ was made a convict because he was a friend of the people, and was crucified as the first preacher of democracy. Wash- ington and Jefferson had so much contempt of court that they would have been hanged if they could have been caught. In the history of progress ty- ranny has always been the turn- key, liberty always the con- vict.—Henry D. Lloyd. SOMERSET. In the death, Friday, May 17th, of Josiah H.

I am bold enough to believe that any honest investigator will agree with me that capitalism is a mere temporary make- shift, and that Socialism is to be its natural, necessary and in- evitable successor. . If I am correct in this diagnosis of the state of your mind I have only cne more very important word to say to you by way of conclusion. : Read the fundamental Socialist works and take an active part in the Socialist party organization. i It is of supreme importance that every Socialist should be thoroughly grounded in the fundamental principle of Socialism. Jt is likewise of supreme importance that every Socialist should co-operate with every other Socialist by aggressive ac- tivity in the Socialist party organization. 3 The Socialist party started upon its career with a full knowledge of its high mission. The time has come In the his- tory of the world for conscious evolution. We Socialists know full well that the economic laws compel the abolition of capi- talism and the introduction of Socialism. And we deliberately organized the Socialist party in order to make the transition from capitalism to Socialism as smooth and easy and rapid as possible. In order to do this successfully it is necessary for us to re- move economic bewilderment from the minds of the people and put the clear, simple truth in its place. It is necessary for us to send speakers to every corner of the land. It is necessary for us to put Socialist literature in the hand of every adult in | America. And it is necessary to keep on doing this until the object is accomplished. To do this requires an aggressive and systematic organiza- ticn, ramifying into every locality in the country. d “The importance of systematic and effective organization can not be over estimated. : Organization is the key to success. Remember that. Turn it over and over in your mind. Let it filter into your blood. hog The capitalist class has no fear of a million unorganized Socialists. It is the organized Socialist party, with its batteries that never sleep, that gives them the cold shivers. The calm confi- dence of the organized Socialist party is the most terrific fact that capitalists ever encountered. The Socialist party is a rank and file party. Every act of every officer is subject to referendum vote of the membership. Every officer is also subject to recall by vote of the member- ship. ; : The Socialist party never slumbers, never sleeps. It car- ries on an incessant agitation between campaigns as well as during campaigns. It intends that Socialism shall be speedily realized. Anyone at all acquainted with the industrial situation, and with the temper of the magnificent army of Socialists will look upon this as a positive certainty. ¥ \ In the Socialist the zeal of the crusader is combined with political common sense—a combination which must win. The Socialist is not a quitter. ; ; He is here to stay. 3 The future is his. He is the man of destiny. He is practical. He is the only man who has interpreted the spirit of the age. He is the only men who has read the signs of the times. He is the only man who has discovered the shadows which coming events are casting before them. He proclaims the truth. He is, therefore, invulnerable. He draws his shining lance and challenges every other school of economic thought in the world to meet him in the arena of debate. And they slink away like whipped curs, conscious that they are in the wrong. Socialism is the next step in the evolution of humanity. _ The world is being urged toward it with winged speed by the action of irresistible economic laws. : The fingers of all past ages point forward to it. In a world of trouble, sorrow, poverty, ignorance and an- guish, Socialism is the only hope. : Without it, all is gloom, the times are out of joint, and the world has gone crazy. With it, the world is sane, and the future is bright with better things. J. T.
