“THE WORLD IS YOURS! "

SOCIALISTS’ MILLENIUM. Mr. Emil Seidel, the Socialist candidate for the Vice-Presidency of the United States, thus concluded his address to the electors:— outh—you will finish the work! A world for your opportunity. Y'ou will reap the harvest that has been sown by those who have gone before. You "ill build with the material that they have gathered. 011 will plan the foundation and lay stone upon stone. Y T ou will top the structure with a roof and adorn that with pinnacles. Y’ou will carve its gables in bold relief, you will decorate its interior in rare design and with rare colours, for your hands are loss stained with individualism than are ours, and you shall be possessed with a more refined sense of beauty. And then what have you built ? You have built a new social structure—a social structure in which will dwell a happier race, a race that can be more nearly like its creator; a social structure in which old age will not beg, widows and orphans will not weep, and children will not be ground into dividends and profits. It will be a social structure where men will be men, every inch of them ; where women will not sell their virtue; where children will grow up into flowerjs of purer manhood and womanhood—a social structure that will realise the dreams that have been dreamt by all the best of men of all ages; a social structure that will be the answer to the prayers of hundreds of millions, when in the simplicity of their hearts they pray—- “ Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth.” Oh, youth! The world is yours! Go and possess it!! Hold it for all mankind !!!
