He told us nothing about the crowded, lousy jail where men were forced to sleep on cold wet cement floors. He showed us a picture of the sheriff's flue residence, but he didn't tell us that lie grafted 27* cents a day off of every prisoner sent to jail by his friend, Mayor Kelley. He didn't tell the public that Sam Dixon was the man who broke the miner's union on New River and brought the armed thugs and guards into that district and that Mayor Kelley and the Baldwin guards were working together haucl In glove. There are a great many things the Captain omitted from this edition that would have been inetresting reading for the public, but then the Captain Is only one of King Dixon's tools, and as a tool he had to listen to his master's voice and praise the bosses other tools, 'Mayor Kelley and all. If the reports are true that comes to us from a seemingly relia ble source. tlie officials of Fayette county are practicing peonage. The Baldwin detective agency with their brutal guards, maintained by the coal barons of Fayette county to terrorize the unarmed miners have been guilty of some of the blackest and most cowardly crimes known to crimnalitv. The ,Al Deck case is one. In this case for no other reason than being a union miner A1 Deck was beaten and mangled by these human brutes and left for dead on the railroad track. The Bob Wick robbery Is another case and many other crimes too numerous to mention are directly traceable to the guards and Sam Dixon is responsible for the guard system in Fayette county, and Sam THxpu.. .hires Captain ^llood. which accounts for the flattering bi-| Dgraphy given these crooks and grafters by the Captain.

It is the joint ownership in rights, duties, privileges* immunities. and obligations of the enLire human family, children, women and men. Tt is practice of the doctrine. "United we stand: divided, we fall.** It is the application of the law. --In union there is strength." it is the meaning of America's motto "From many, one.** Socialism is the proclamation of emancipation to all who labor and ire heavy laden. Socialism is equity, the even handed justice that deals impartially by all. Socialism is the antidote of human suffering. Socialism is freedom in its final malysis. Jo fo ? r* f! m a til foc+ tiny. Socialism is certain and salvation. Socialism is the inheritance by ill the children of men of the Icingiom of happiness here and nov. Socialism is the religion of liuiianism. Socialism is the trinity of love, justice and truth. Socialism is the gospel of the atonement of humanity for "man's inhumanity to man." Socialism is the secand coming of 'the elder brother."?Cnpt.

Now it is here and we can joyfully greet each other with a heart felt "Happy New Year." i Of all persons we have the most reason to feel happy. This year means more to us than to any class of persons. It brings us joy and inspiration to sustain us in the coming conflict. "We are happy because this is the year of a great national election. All national elections are important, but the election of 1912 far surpasses all others in the issues involved. Tlie^e are many things to make us { happy at this time, hut one thing! that sends the 'blood tingling through j our veins is the political struggle that is now upon us. This struggle means more than any political struggle that has everj taken place in the past. For the. first time in American polities the class struggle will he of paramount importance. The nation has awakened from the hypnotic sleep induced by 'blind party fealty. The masses can no longer be led blindly t.o| slaughter. They have lost much of party idolatry.

The oilers have gotten tired of thrasling straw. The year of 1912 sees a eal issue enter the political arena, t is an issue that will never be laid iside until it is solved. Old party s politicians have dodged it for years. c >111 this year they can not dodge it. _ .Ye have forced the intellectual prositutes of capitalism to acknowledge hat they must meet this issue. It t s not a tariff issue, a silver issue, or $ tnv other fake issue of that nature, t rhe real issue is. shall the American f oiler "be a free man? r To be a "free man" does not mean r amply to be free from police inter- j erence. It means to be free to live ^ i real human life. It means the right f o be free from robbery. it means r reedom from the burdens ot wage ^ slavery. It means freedom to work j or the ones we love, not for a par- a iitic class of rich idlers. It means t reedom to enjoy the fruits of our t >wn labor. It means freedom to mild a home and a hearthstone fiL o house a free man. It means a nan hood without shockles?a man- \ mod that knows no master. It means % ill of this, and more than this. It t neans an end to the infamies now ? leaped upon the wealth creators rades, that we liave forced them to ] recognize this issue. Mark Hauua i said that socialism would he the issue in 1912. 1912 is here and socialism is the issue. Furthermore, it will remain the issue until It triumphs. Taft said that it is the issue, j The harlot press of the masters has thrown olf the mantel of silence and Is preparing to demolish us. A magazine called "The Common Cause" has been started in N'ew York "to nnnnau flio nrrti?n?r.jn/lo r\t co/.i which we believe is fundamentally destructive to the best interests of n the nation and society." Among its a first contributors we find Roosevelt a and Bryan. Thus we see all enemies j, of the working class lined up against (j us. c, So, comrades, let us rejoice at the coming of the New Year. The seed 3 we have sown so painfully in the j, past is bringing its fruitage. Harvest a time Is coming. Our cause?the ^ cause of all humanity?Is finding its voice. It is not a voice crying In the e, wilderness. Today its voice Is a CJ thunder roll. The tread of the so- ^ callist army shakes the earth. The v remotest hamlet has its valiant army ^ of social revolutionists who are maleIng the mountains echo and rc-eclio g( with the call to battle for freedom. af Our press, mailed by fearless figlit- a' ;rs and brilliant thinkers, are hurling thunderbolts at the citadel of en- jfi trenched wrong. The cowardly B thieves who masquerade as "the very best citizens," and then rob even childhood of its joys for the few * pennies they can coin out of their ^ olood, realize that their doom is sealed, "^he nour has struck for a lew deal for the worklncman. The -obbers will flgiit desperately forj" ilieir right to rob. I,et lis close up >ur ranks, comrades, for the political rattle that is now here. w The year 1912 will be nieniorablo 1,1 iccause it will see many things. It w will see many cities and counties * " oin the socialist column. It will see in army of socialists go to out state g egislatures to help make laws, it ^ till see at least twenty socialist confressnien go to join Victor Berger. t will see the political power of iome states go to the builders of a letter civilization. It will see an up ising of the toilers at the ballot box hat will send terror to'the hearts of he industrial masters. It will see he dawning of the day when child- ^ lood-will no longer be starved. It c vill see the beginning of tile end of loverty. It will see new light shed *' nto the lives of those, who bear the " mrdens of the world. It will see the J1* leavv laden take renewed hope!1 tt cV vill see a rift in the dark cloud 'of ' lapitalism that has so long darlcened he world.
