When the Socialists set In power will they niake our homes public property, and. If so, will they pay for them, end how? Suppose a person, unablo to work, owns property, the rent from which le hla only means of support; how would he fare when do lunger able to owu nr draw an income from bis property? CommonIn the Cooperative wealth tilings that are collectively used will be collectively owned, and things that are privately sited will ba privately owned. Homes, being for private only, should be privately owned. But It should be remembered that a home Is a home only when owned by the occupant and occupied by the owner. No one, whether of sound or unsound body, should be permitted to rent bourne, lands or money to another. It le the evils that spring from Intercut, rent aad profit that Socialism aeeka to abolish. There le an reason why thusa who bow own huinrs should nut retain them when Industry becomes socialised. It ia the large tracts of land bow worked by renters, and the factories now operated by wageworkers, that must become collective property, because they are collectively used. frlMts ownership of property that le collectively worked makes the owner master of the property less workers. The owner owna not only tha land or machinery which the workers must use to produce a living, but he also owna the Jubs uf these same workers. The workers are at hla mercy, which la not always tender, and thuy the ownership of things collectively used, though of course a handsome thing for the owner, works a hardship to tba laborer. One osnnot accurately predict Just how the new society will, deal with Its me rubers who ere physically unable to produce their own livelihood; but we are safe In auppoalng that people will he more helpfully Inclined toward tho Beady when a decent living Is assured to all who will and can work than they are under present unjust conditions. la Invalid Tour propeitjdrning supported by society today .through tho payment of hie rental Ineume; but the system that permits this method of caring for the few disabled haring property places upon the backs of thus who work an additional burden of property owning parasites who ara physically abla to produce their own living, hut do not because, through their ownership, they can compel others to work for them. Commonthe Cooperative In wealth we will be able, aad without doubt willing, to help the unfortunate; but to do this does nut require the malntenaneo of n capitalist class of drones, as Is tha case today. As a matter of fact, moat of the disabled ones have little or no property now, aad are the chargee ef either relatives or the publla. The capitalist system confers no favors upon them because of their needs. The new system will provide homes for all who will work and work for all who are willing. Even those physically Incompetent for ordinary manual labor will" find opportunity to render soma service to a society, and In no doing feel that they have a place Id the world's work and ara not wholly a burden.

Suppose the work of aa artist, a painter for Instance, were so much In Demand that I, a lover of the artistic, would he unable to own any of It: would this revive the old selfish Idea of possessing more than your neighbor? It might end It might not, nnd it wouldn't matter If it would. Selfish Ideas are not necessarily evil; and when they are, they cannot injure others nntil they take ths form Is of selfish sets. tho first law of nature. .To obey thin law la to be selfish sad live; to disobey this law le to die. To obey It Intelligently la to live the higher life; to obey It brutally la to live tbo lower life. Much mouthing and maundering over duty and unselfishness has obscured tne fact that selfishness Is both necessary and commendable. It la the striving to do aomeltflng for setrihat makes us pool our Interests with those of ethers who have like needs and desires. The beet things to be had can be secured by one only by retting them for the many; we try to get them for the many so we ourselves rsu enjoy them. Bearer tbs hypocrite who prates of unselfish duty; for back of his pretensions Is the cmgsely selfish desire to have you neglect yourself In the service of him or hie.

When real art become possible there win be no dlspodsilua c the part .f Its patrons to exercise an exclusive ewueiship of it. When you end others attain to a civilisation where th artistic in man finds free expression, your desire wifi not be to own fine paintings, but to have the greatest possible amount of that work done that the greatest number may appreciate them and constitute n society fit for you to live in. If ihir is too fine e conception of art, then art la too fine a thing to be thought of. and Navy. What effect would Socialism havw on the United States army and navy? About the same effect civilization wrought on "gun totin'" in Texas. Crude society relies upon force and firearms; the cowboy upon his gun. end pirate nations upon standing armies nnd navies. Socialism seeks a realisation of tha time foretold when swords shall be beaten into plowshares and th productive art of peace shall make good use of the lives and energy heretofore wasted la the destructive art of war. In ths great change which will come' with the establishment of the Cooperative Commonwealth, not ao much thought will be given to tha fate of the armv and navy as to ths and sallora. No welfare of the on will care what disposition Is made of battleships, canaoa and th Infernal machinery of death: but the life, libInerty nnd happiness of all mankind. macluding those of the goldler and rine. w ill then be the concern of all. that the mea of war may become men of peace and enjoy aU tba advantage of tha higher civilisation. ba bees art. well, while a fairer Wtlh Parrots, day Shall rise, with the death of slavery, Aad. all shall be happy, aad fair, and free! , g When the mission of Socialism Is aocumpllsbed in the abolition of classes be will move ' up warn to raccoon scfousnrss, made possible by new conditions. But through all this be will remsip selfish, as he always has been; aad the degree of bis attainments will be determined by the quality of his selfishness, sot by become Its suppression or abolition. Flos art, says John Buskin, Is the expression of sorker'e Joy la hie work. There Is no art In work expressive of drudgery. The work of a chattel slave Is coarse, because from no higher Inspiration than the lash. The work uf the wage stave Is remarkable only for quantity produced under the pressure of necessity. The work uf quality, which le fine art. Is possible onlv to the free, who stamp their work with the divine expression of crratlve goodness. Most of whs! is called artistic Is only a miserable imitation of what FROM WORKERS JULY SUNDAY, TO WORKERS. Th Working Class Idee That Those Whe Produce the Wealth Should Keep It. (D;r Charles H. Kerr.) This bulletin, like the books of which Jt telle, le not written to voice the pet Ideal of any one man; It 1s put out to fxplein tile ldMi which have taken a firm hold oa th organised working class all over the world. We who put it out are people who live by working, and what wa have to ay ta addressed to peopl who live by a the(r work. That means at leant of the peopl who are abla to work. There are other who Bo not liv by their work, but by tho fact that they own things, aad by owning things get aa Income that they Bo not hava to earn. Bom of these may read what w say, but wa do not expect many of them to agre. Some will say that ,we ara trying to set claaa against class. But that does not need to be dons;the classes are already net against "each othar, aad all wa aim to do Is to show th working class where they stand and how to act In n way to help themselves. What ws have to My will not make you other working people hate the people who live by owning; on tho contrary It will show you that if thing are not run to suit you. It ta fault more than thelra. yur How You Don't Got What You Make But an yotf suited with the way things ara rqn? Let us suppom that you hnv a Jth, that you work eight or ten hours, six dare a week, and that you get ap much pay ns any of your neighbors get for tha Mma kind1 .of work.- You get enough to buy food and clothes for yourself, aad perhaps for wife and babies, and pay rent for a rather uncomfortable place to liv nx If you live where the coat of living Is high, yen get more dollars than If you llva whore the cost ta low, but In wither case, when the week la gona, the dollars ara gona. (At this point your employer would probably Ilk to Interrupt ua and My that If you were only more careful of your money, you would be much better off. We arc not going to. atop to tell you why this is not so, but Just to tell you where you can find that question answered onoa for all It ta In a flva-cen- t booklet called Imprudent Marriages, by Robert Blatchford. Hs proves to your Mtlsfactloa that If all the laborers should mv their money they would be worse off than before.) To Illustrate what ws need to explain, we will areum that you get twelve dollars a week, two dollars a day. Ton are tending a machine, and making something to sell, for your employer. Let ua suppose fot example that you are making beta, Which your employer arils for two dollars each. Let ua suppose that tha raw materials oa which you work eoat eighty cents for each hat, and that tbs coal for th engine that drives your machine, the oil that makes It run smoothly, th wear and tear on the machine while each hat Is being turned out, and other similar expenses, amount to twenty rents on each hat. The employer pays for all these things, and also pays you tw0 dollars a day. So If you could only make two hata a day, there would be nothing left for him. But Instead of making two hats a day, you make tea. Let us suppose that you work ten hours a day, and tura out a complete hat each hour. Then In the first two hours of the day you are earning what you get tn the shape of wages. For the remaining eight hours of the day you are earning eight dollars which you do not get This Is what we socialists call Surplus Value. For a full explanation of It you should read a firecont booklet by Karl Mara, entitled Wage Labor and CapitaL Worker and Owners. In this illustration the hat manufacturer who employs you stands for the cIsm capitalists who own tha tools the laborers nee, and pay them wages. We do not mean to My that each employer, least of all each small employs er. get of the value produced by each What we do mesa to any' Is that oa the aver-ag- e each wage-workgets but a small fracUrn of what he really produces. Fart of the rest ia sutnl In competition between capitalists, and in other ways which U would take a volume to eiplain, hut a large and growing share goes to increase the enormous wealth of the owning class. More and more dearly each year the line is bring drawn bet wren those who live by working and those who lire Lr owning. There was a time when must Americana owned the tools they used and consumed or sold on their own account tha thirgthst they made. Such producers were neither s nor capitalists, but they certainly lived by their own labor, not the labr of other. This way of living still continues in the Ire developed Industries, notably In forming. But In the best organized industries. of which we may take tv rusk-lu- g of steel sa a type, there lias been series of most important changes. There have not only altered the way nine-tenth- 1007. lu which goods are made; they have as a result altered the whole social system, the wars la which people think, and tha way in which th is run. la the United Buies, a hundred years ago, the manufacturer was a workman, oae who had himself worked for wage until he had learned his trade, and who worked by the aide of the men to whom he paid wages. By and by. as hU shop grew in size, it took all his time to plan the work and are that k was done to the right way, but he still staid la the shop. to the next stage of growth, he hired a foreman to do this, while he went out to drive sharp bargains to selling his product and buying new materials. Then, as the shop grew still larger and more and more expensive machinery wm required, he organized a corporation and gave most of his time to eelllng tts stocks and bonds, while hs hired others to do tha work ha had lately bees doing. In the tost stage he has sold his whol business to tha trust and has received la rfeturu a bunch of bonds, from which ha clips coupons aad a block of stock, oa which h draws dividends. Now ha ia like the Ultra they toll not, s either do they spin, and yet I mv unto you that even Brio-moto all hla glory was not arrayed like one of these. True, he may work if ha liken:' he may find ways to fleect tha "lambs oa Wall street, c h may even invent schemes for. producing wealth moss effectively, that Is, of tocraastog production la a way that will give the trust a still larger proportion of what ka create; hut whether he adds to hla returns to these ways or not, ha has, by ths mere fact of ownership, a fat Incoma which ha does not do a stroke of either handwork or bralnwork to earn. W Socialists are not saying that Ws are this la wrong or unjust. merely printing out the fact. If you s uf th people, who preduo the wealth tha capitalist gets,, prefer to turn It ovr to hlni, that ta your privilege. But ws Socialists dont like it; ws should prefer to enjoy tho things w produce instead of giving most of them to ths cIsm of owners. Ws believe that when you understand how it la that you create wealth and dont get it, you will he with ua to helping to change ths system. That ta why ws want you to study Socialism. For you nes, long as most of the working class ara content to let things run along as they are, "the few. who want a change bars to put up with the present system; tho only way wo can get what we want for ourselves ta to get tho great body of tho workers to Join and change things. nt Ogden Business Directory rs Bias-tenth- u COOL Blackberries Dewberries Are at their best VOLNEV C.
