If .any of you feel that you are bet ter than others because you wear bet ter clothes or live in better houses or go in what you think is "better so ciety," It is because your young minds and hearts have been tainted by wrong example and wrong education. It is the wicked feeling, that corrupts the conscience and hardens the heart and begets the envy and hate of our fellow beings, instead of their love and good will. . . , -. ....... When that best friend the children ever had on earth said, "suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me; for such is the kingdom of Heaven," He meant all children, poor and rich, but especially the poor. He loved and pitied them the more be cause of their poverty and suffering. He himself had been born In a man ger and when He was grown up He said sorrowfudly that "He had ' not where to lay His head." He did not despise little children' because they were poor and neglected and shabbily dressed, but He loved and pitied them all the more; and as He looked down upon them His heart melted with compassion and the tears of tender ness filled His eyes and then He be came grave and His fair brow grew dark with wrath as He thought of those who sat in rich church pews and piously thanked the Lord that they were not as other people. He denounced them as hypocrites for pre tending to be reJligious while they rob bed -the poor and turned the little children into the street to suffer hun ger and fall into evil ways. Nearly 20 centuries have passed since the suffering poor heard with gladness the message of the Lowly Nazarene and since He was moved to tears by the sight of the' little children of the street, but the world has not yet learned the meaning of His tender and touching words, "suffer little chil dren, and forbid them not to come unto me; for such is the kingdom of Heaven." If He were to walk the streets of New York or Chicago, or Lawrence, Mass., or any of the cities where the mills and sweatshops are filled with child slaves as He once walked the streets of Jerusalem He would grow nick 'aft' heart-as- He -saw the little ones Ha loved, pale and wan and worn, harnessed to monstrous ma chines and sflowly put to death to swell the profits of the greedy mill owners who sit In the rich pews of the syna gogue, as did the Pharisees He scourg ed nearly 20 centuries ago. The children of the working people have always been poor because the world has never been Just For ages and ages those who have builded the houses, cultivated the fields, raised the crops, spun the wool, woven the cloth, supplied the food we eat and the clothes we wear, and furnish the homes we live In, have been the poor and despised, whlle'those who profited by their labor, and consumed the good things they produced, have been rich and respectable. Jesus Himself was a carpenter's son and suffered the poverty of His class and when He grew up it was not the rich and respectable, but tho poor and despised who loved Him, and opened their arms to receive Him, and heard 19.-rLLLlMrs.( cjoybeddtnt mtham the world' need to go hungry; that there is plenty of coal and .iron, oil and gas, golij and silver ' and other minerals and . metals stored in the earth; that there are forests and mountains and water courses galore; that there are mills and mines and factoorles and ships and railroads and telegraphs, and the power sup plied free by nature to run them all; that there are millions of men and women ready to do all the work that may be required to build homes, raise crops, bake i bread and cake, too weave cloth, make clothes and every-, thing else that, is necessary for ev erybody, and have time enough be sides to build schools and provide playgrounds for every last one of the children with plenty of toys thrown in to make this earth a children's para dise. '' ' Now, why should not "" lust these things come to pass and why should not you children Help us speed the day when they shall come to pass? Everything you can possible think of to make thl searth sweet and beau tiful and to make life a blessed joy for us all is within our reach. The raw materials , are out at our feet; the forces to fashion them into forms of beauty and the. use are at our fin ger tips. We have but to put our- once more hear the "sons of God shoiut selves in harmony with nature and with one another to spread far and wide the gospel of life and love and for Joy.'v Socialists not only dream of the good day. coming when tho world shall know that men are brothers and that women are sisters to each other, DUi, mey are ai worn wun an meir hearts and all their hands to make that dream come true. Many of us who have long been in service will not be here when the bells peal forth, the joyous tidings that Socialism has triumphed and that the people are .free, but the chil dren that now are will live to see it and in he day of their rejoicing they wil not forget those who toiled without recompense that they might live without dread of poverty or fear or. want. The frlgthful stories of the little children in the mills at awrence and Dupblin, and the cruiel suffering they endured Is still fresh in the public memory. When the poor and despair ing mothers, their hearts wrung with agony and their' eyes blinded with tears, attempted to save their child ren from starvation by placing them in the keeping of sympathizing friends they were beaten, Insulted and with babies at their breasts thrown into jail, bleeedlng and stunned, by the brutal police acting under orders form far more brutal mill-owners. The world will never know the suf fering and terror these poor work ing people especially the women and children had to endu'r efor daring to ask the millionaire mill owner for a pittance more In return 'for their la bor to keep the wolf of hunger from their gloomy hovels. When the Socialist party gets Into power those mills at Lawrence and all others ' like them will be taken over by the, people and operated for the good of all and then the workers will keep . the wealth they produce for themselves. Instead of turning It over to the greedy mil boses; they will have decent homes to live In, food In plenty on their tables, and their children will go to school to be mil Men, After We've About Spent Out, We Think of Our Own Needs-Think How We Can Make "What's Left" Go Farthest-and then remember "The Store That Saves You Money" Greatest Values Can Always Be Had Horn, and You Know It Well ! Why Not Stop In Today and Look at a Christmas Overcoat or Suit ? "Peck $20 Clothes" are the kind you'd pay $25 for elsewhere.

The Store for Men 1 Mad : Syrcu9 i VPV . But until the working class' takes possession of the mills, the mines and the shops; until all the fathers and mothers join in union organizations and send working men and women to mak e their laws; until union work Ingmen are appointed as policemen, sheriffs and judges, there will con tinue to be vicioius struggles between the' men who own and the men who work in the mills, the shops and the mines.- . These struggles are called strikes, and in every one of them It Is the little children who suffer most. Every strike, thai has been lost was lost be cause '-, babies and the little children were cold and hungry. The socialis tparty wishes to put an end to this needless sacrifice of the childdren tof rah mahr lnow want children of the working class in times of strike. We have therefore, set as ide one day, Sunday, December 28, Just three- days' after Christmas, to be known as CHILDREN'S DAY. .

He was one of them in 1 to be ground Into profits to gorge their poverty and suffering and In all His ; idle owners. loving and self-denying life He never forgot them. Had He neseroea. tne poor from whom He never forgol them.- Had He deserted the poor-from whom He sprang, had He gone over to the rich' as their preacher, or thoir judge, or their lawyer or teacher or scribe as so many of His pretended followers have done and are still doing He never would have been sacrific ed, nor would the world today know that He bad ever lived. It was because, and only because. Jesus loved the poor and served. the poor against their rich despollers, that He was condemned to die and that the cruel nails were driven into his hands and feet on the cross at Cal- vary. . I Jesus taught that the earth and the air and the sea and sky and all the beauty and fulness them of were for all the children of men; that they should all equally enjoy the riches of nature and' dwell together in peace, bear one another's burdens and love one another, and that Is what social- Ism teaches and why the rich thieves who have laid hold of the earth and Its bounties would crucify the social ists as those other robbers of the poor crucified Jesus 2000 years ago. Now let us see what message social ism has for the children and why all children hould be socialists and help to speed the day when the brother hood of socialism shall I prevail throughout the earth. The socialist party throughout the world wants to put an end once and forever to all kinds of child labor and to have It so that alt children, white and black, without a single exception shall be allowed to grow up in the free air, with plenty of time for mirth and play; tbat they shall all have de cent homes to live In, comfortable beds to sleep In, pknty of food to eat, plenty of good clothes to wear and that when they reach the proper age they shall go to school and col lege and continue their course until they have obtained a sound and prac tical education. Then they will have strong, healthy bodies, trained minds, and skilled hands, and not only enter cherlngly upon their duties of life, but be certain of making It a Success. The socialists say there must be more ohangea and have set about making them, or at least getting ready Woman's Danger Period Is said to be from 45 to 50. What should be a most natural change In a woman's life, Is, on account of modern methods of ' living, fraught with most annoying and painful symptoms. Women when passing through this critical period should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound, as it has proved wonderfully successful in carrying women safely through the change of life.
