Dear Comrades:
Judge jb. Ri Kmcben, a well
known Free-thinker and an attor-
ney-at-law, and myaelf Jbave ag-
reed to enter into a series of joint
ddbafag. The question to be do-
«♦ —* that ho one
Ball manaser
i Socialist Lecture Stra-
in the prinoiples en-
uelated wi the platform,
and be a Christian."
Judge Kinchen takes the posi-
tion that the Bible teaches human
slavery, and, aa the Socialist par-
ty ia against human slavery, the
two cannot b made to harmoniw.
Kinchen will open each debase
with, forty-fite minutes. I will
follow him Witb an hour, and ! a
closes wiih a fifteen minutes re-
joinder.
1 have had five years exper-
ience as a Socialist speaker, and
feel sure that I will be able to
handle our aide of the question iu
an instructive and satisfactory
manner.
It ia my opinion that these de-
batea will help the cause of So-
cialism more than anything we
can do. As you probably well un-
derstand that there are hundreds
of people that will com* to hear a
debate, who will not go to a
straight out Socialist speaking.
Our terms will be $20.00 for
each debate, and hotel expenses
for both speaker*. iWe pay enr
own railroad fare.
Write me at once, if you want
one of these debates in your com-
munity. The date will have to be
act by us, to suit the route takeu,
and not to make the location of
the debates too far apart
Yours for Socialism,

From reports coming from
western points when? Hiekey-Da-
vis debates were held there is a
unanimity of opinion that the old
style mud slinging style of debate
must stop. After each of the de-
bates were over democrats and so-
cialists alike lined up and con-
gratulated the speakers on the
fact that the gentlemen dealt with
principles and not personalities.
It is only a pellagric preacher who
has mistaken a dose of lajtines*s
for « call to preach or a worm
eaten politician that imlulges-in

(By Will Glide well.)
The charge in the above title
reminds m« of the day of long
ago, when good old Micha was
tried for high traaon by the young
Prince of Jerusalem. Mkha stood
up in front of that great eourt
and said, "Why ahall we unite
and fight against a foreign f««e,
when all the atrocities committed
by him in time of war are com-
mitted by you in time of peaceT"
Then the old"" Prophet proceeded
to defy his roler^ "The women
of my people ye tear frem their
homes . From these young child-
ren ye take .away my glory for-

You, who art so axious to rally
to arms and cry over protection
of your homes, dignity, peace and
happiness against a foreign foe,

was in the days of the Assyrian
conflict againat breaking down
the capitalist corruption of na-
tions T I cry aa Micha of old,
"What has become of our homes?
Where they? Where are the
homes of the steel workers of
Pittsburgh? Where are the homes
of the stock yard workers in Chi-
cago? Where are the homes of
the Texas farmers ami laborers,
that are destitute of food, cloth-
ing, snd are exposed to the in-
clemencies of the weather?
They hsve been destroyed by
ths Rockefellers, Morgans. Astors,
Garys, Cametrics. Frieks and all
their abominably gang. Yet they
shout to us to prepare, to become
patriotic, to protect our homes.
Who shall protect our homes
against them. I say to them as
did Micha, "Begone, for this ia

There has never been a woman
official in Kansas who defaulted
or erabexxled any funds, or who
was short in public account*.
There are a doren or so men of-
ficials now locked up for defalca-
tions. When a woman official
turns over her books at the ted
of the year, and paid what rite
said was due to the county or ei-
ty. there has never been a public
accountant who was ahl? to find
the books one penny Jtut of line-
There is hardly s term of the

"WE'RE GOING TO
100!" they screeched to
MEX
every
one wbo inquired why they were
so bedecked with flags. Hurt's all
they seemed to know about it tho
they all seemed to be under the
impression the Mexicans would
do all the dying. TVy were
a bunch of raw young re-
cruits in charge of an old bell-
wether. Few of them had on
them the marks of workingmen.or
working farmers. The big major-
ity were of the clerk class, or
lickspittles', as Frank Wakh so
well named them And every-
where we been it ia thia clam that
ia up the ranks of the mil-
oestruouun mwrnr- The K*I working- daw win
soon be foreeed to prepare to deal
with them, for they are not to be
used solely to re-enslave Mexico.
This is sticking out on all sides.
Else why should Big Buanem so
eagerly be announcing ha inten-
tion to "Pay the salaries of their
employes who enlist?" Did
ever see a Plutocrat put out mon-
ey that he did wit expect to get
tack with usury? \ * •*
