The president replied. "I dont know." Then Senator Beveridge and others discussed the question and came to no decision; finally the president toned to the big, Jolly landlord who had naked tbe question, say lag, Well, what Is jour Idea of a fair share of the product?" Comrade Lund replied, "The worker should have the Ha la groping and seeking tho light, Aad soon In hie strength ho will rise. whole cheese."

Their motive is to give th people all that belongs to them, change. to atop the confiscation, the robbery Giant Labor la opening his eyes. the whole their art too helpless to tako of their own pro perry. The great accumulations of capital do not a belong to tha persona who now thorn. ShrowilnsM la .manipulating the products of the workers does not bestow or constitute any hotter title than tha exploded "dlviio right of kings." Right town must be passed and enforced for etho protection of th manses, whe hava not tha shrewdness of the few. All history to a record of clean struggle. The ruling cl n seen in all ages of tha world's history have used tho meases as slaves. Wa do not need our money kings any mere than wa do hereditary monarchy. Tha people have made transformations for freedom in ooclesiaatlcal nils and have caused changes In political freedom aad equality. Tha people, in n world wide movement will proceed to establish Industrial damoaractoa upon tha principle of aa equal right to nature's storehouses and-th- o great accumulation of capital which prepare ly belongs to each nation. SoolaltoU believe In tha inform t kraal management of affairs which are properly international. In national management qt all which era properly aatoinal, in state management of all affairs which are aadar the control of the state, la social control by tho workers . of each social Industry. In family management or family affairs. Just whara tha Unas will ha drawn depends upon future society, aa It always has. When tho people hava proper eontrol of their oollfctlvely, called government, then they will take possession and eontrol of the mines and railroads, transportations service, telephones and telegraph and all public atilltlra. Tha publto ownership and management of these will remove the great causes of corruption In politics and legislation. Socialists realise tho value of pore sonal llberaty Just aa much any not tha people living. They hav sllghfoat idea of bequeathing to any future government the amount of power It now has in every nation. They propose to dispense with naif of the functions, now exercised with armies; navies, police, courts, attorneys, tax-s- i Ion of personal - property. They propose a representative management of every industry - with n system of supervision and public reports which will give tha people a knowledge and interest of their own business With improved laho rearing devices and and the prare complete organisation of tho industry, the hours of labuf weald be," reduced and the people would bars more time to control business than they have now. With tho certalnttty iff opportunity to labor, and secured in tha possession of the values created, Ictlcoesa, overwork, poverty, crime, proatltutioa and all gross Iniquities will disappear. Thera era some of the general principles of Socialism, which people will do well to study. Feudalism and slavery wen once aoaaidered unchangeable and eternal. Capitalism now reigns supreme. But tha relation of employer and employes to no more enduring sad worthy than the rela-tio- n of tho feudal, lord and serf, or that of master and slave.

Workingmen Are Not Poole. If any workingman aays working-meam fools lot him apeak for him self ekme. Twenty years age n hand of workers praclsl mod their wtodom by providing means to own and operate a paper of their own. They determined that their editor should not become an autocrat with the powers iff a RuMtaa prana censor. That determination has been steadfastly adhered to.

Throughout tha length and breadth of thla country tha fores a of labor are realigning themselves oa tbe aide of the Socialist Labor Party.

Attornoy-at-Law- lit WHY SOCIALIST PARTY SPLIT Tha difference between the Social-to- t party and tko Socialist Labor Party as clearly outlined in tost Sunday's Socialist department to that, on tho one hud the Socialist party erants upon the nmaerleal strength and nothing but tho namertoal strength of tho working class as voters to emancipate them from wage slavery. On the other hand tha Socialist Labor party maintain that the Socialist ballot to worthless without n us Ion of tho working rises which atone ran enforce tha ballot aad provide tha framework jf government in tho 8o clallst republic. The Marzlan club adheres to the prirclplss enunciated ta tha local Socialist parly platform, campaigns of 19054. and reaffirms that, "Tha mission off the Socialist movement aa by tha Ogden local is to promote the political and economic solidarity of tile working class." Where does the Socialist party stand today? What difference caused the epllt? These arc pertinent questions soon to b answered by the logic of events. To avoid delay and enable our read-er- a to exsrdse their own Judgment as to which to which wa make bold to Illuminate the Subject with an account of our departure from the Sootaltat party. . Tho principal business brought before the party meeting of March 28th was what to do and say at tbe then approaching convention in Balt Lake City. Mr. Battril stated at length his reasons for believing that the Soelritat party wig going to ruin throughout the country. He pointed to n statement in State Secretary Bnrta letter to the local to the effect that "Ogden need not fear being outvoted If they sent members to the conlx vention ss an indication that tho Socialist party has seen Its heat days in Utah. Instead of proposing methods for tho convention, other members of tho party took issue with Battell, whoso resignation wsa finally called for on tha grounds that ho was more of an Socialist Labor party man than anything else. The new editorial con mittet of tho Bocls Hit party tell a when they say dangerous half-trut- h the editorial committee resigned. tell was expelled for the good of the party, while Kate 8. Hilliard and Roy F. Sonthwick resigned for their own dues-payin- g ' good and with tho knowledge they could ao longer further that the cause of Socialism In ths Socialist Party. nakDuring Battell's "trial" ha ed tko "hypothetical" question: "It there wu n Socialist Labor party ticket in tha Sold which yould yon vote, tho Socialist party or the Socialist Labor party?" Battell answered that ha would certainly vote the B ciallat Labor party ticket and ha wa accordingly bounced from tha party. Section I, article IS of tho national constitution of the Socialist party reads: "The platform of the Social-to-t party ahall he the supreme declaration of tha party, and nil state and municipal platforms shall conform thereto, and no state or local organisation ahall undar any circumstances fuse, combine or eompromlso with any other political party or organisation, or refrain from making nominations, in order to favor the candidate of snob other organisations, nor shall any candidate of the Socialist party any nomination or endorsement from any other party or poHiical ore ganlsatloo." During tha last campaign several candidates on the Socialist ticket violated this clause in the constitution but up to date no motion has been yw.ij to discipline these members. In allowing ouch acta t go unchallenged the Bodaltat party brands Itself as a traitor to the working data. Tho Marxian Students' dut is in sympathy with the Socialist Labor party. While Ha members were a faction in the 8. P. thoy dominated to n great extent the tactics and expression of the party, la Salt Lake City tha B. P. vote dwindled close to aero during the 10B campaign ,1a splfo of Its (masted weekly ergaa, the Crisis. In 190 the "Crisis" and tha S. P. expired together In the fond embrace of tho "American" party eo-- c ailed. When the returns of the election of 1905 la Ogden allowed a gain of 25 per cent It waa due to the revolutionary honesty which kept It "on tho square." tu ao-ce- pt GUNNELL ? Aw. .

P. polled about fifty thousand votes In Chicago. In a few months this inspiring figure shrank to twenty thousand and In the recent election only thirteen thousand votes were ea for the 8. P. When confronted with these facta the 8. P. attributes the fault to the "Workers of the world! unite!" That pithy romance, spoken by science and echoed by the moet enlightened men of tho day, to a command of natnro which capitalism Is enforcing to the letter. Capitalism ha annihilated distance and gathered all the countries of the world unto itself. But in this process eapisllsm has made common canoe against the workers of all countries regardleis of color, nationality, rcllg-k-or sex. Therefore It 1s hut wisdom for the workers to unite as dan without regard to creed, color, nationality or geographical location. We thank capitalism for the pleasure of meeting several Japanese comrades last week. Every Socialist meet- - . Real Estate Agents Builders --L jab: a BROWN IRON A BRASS WORKS.
