GIVE THE AMERICAN BLUEGRASS A SHOW - V k A' —Reproduced by permission New iork Tribune, Copyright, 1919. TO AND DESTROY STATE” U. S. COMMUNISTS CALL FOR LABOR REVOLT Revolutionary Pamphlet, Found in U. S. Department of Justice Investigations, Gives Message of Com munists in Chicago to Russian Headquarters. Extracts from “Manifesto and Program—Constitution—Report to the Communist International" by the Communist Party of America, Chicago, 111. Communism does not propose to ’capture’ the bourgeoise parliamentary state, butte conquer and destroy It. As long as the bourgeoise state prevails, the capitalist class can baffle the will of the proletariat. In those countries in which historical development has furnished the opportunity, the working class has utilized the regime of political democracy for Its organization against Capitalism. The older unionism was based on the craft divisions of small Industry. The unions consisted primarily of skilled workers whose skill Is Itself a form of property. The unions were not organs of the militant class struggle. To day the dominant unionism Is actually a bulwark of Capitalism, merging In Imperialism and accepting State Capitalism. The proletarian revolution comes at the moment of crisis In Capitalism, of a collapse of the old order. Under the Impulse of the crisis, the proletariat acts for the conquest of power, by means of mass action. Mass action concen trates and mobilizes the forces of the proletariat, organised and unorganized; It acts equally against the bourgeois state aad the conservative organizations of the working class. Strikes of protest develop Into general political strikes and then Into revolutionary mass action for the conquest of the power of the state. Mass action becomes political In purpose while extra-parliamentary In form; It Is equally a process of revolution and the revolution itself in operation. The Communist Party Is the conscious expression of the class struggle of the workers against capitalism. Its aim Is to direct this struggle to the con quest of political power, the overthrow of capitalism and the destruction of the bourgeois state. The Communist Party prepares Itself for the revolution In the measure that It develops a program of Immediate action, expressing the mass strug gles of the proletariat. These struggles must be inspired with revolutionary spirit and purposes. The Communist Party is fundamentally a party of action. It brings to the workers a consciousness of their oppression, of the Impossibility of Im proving their conditions under capitalism. The Communist Party directs the workers’ struggle against capitalism, developing fuller forms and purposes in this struggle, culminating In the mass action of the revolution. The Communist Party shall make the great Industrial struggles of the working class its major campaigns, in order to develop an understanding of the strike in relation to the overthrow of capitalism. (a) The Communist Party shall participate in mass strikes, not only to achieve the immediate purposes of the strike, but to develop the revolutionary Implications of the mass strike. (b) Mass strike- are vital factors In the process out of which develops the workers’ understanding and action for the conquest of power. (c) In mass strikes under conditions of concentrated capitalism there Is talent the tendency toward the general mass strike, which takes on a political character and manifests the impulse toward proletarian dictatorship. In these general mass strikes the Communist Party shall emphasize the necessity of maintaining industry and the taking over of social functions usually discharged by the capitalists and the institutions of capitalism. The strike must cease being isolated and passive; it must become positive, general and aggressive, preparing the workers for the complete assumption of Indus trial and social control. (a) Every local and district organization of the Party shall establish contact with Industrial units In its territory, the shops, mills and mines—and direct its agitation accordingly. (b) Shop Committees shall be organized wherever possible for the pur pose of Communist agitation In a particular shop or industry by the workers employed there. These committees shall be united with each other and with the Communist Party, so that the party shall have actual contact with the workers and mobilize them for action against capitalism. The Communist Party must engage actively in the struggle to revolution ize the trade unions. As against the unionism of the American Federation of Labor, the Communist Party propagandizes industrial unionism and Industrial union organization, emphasizing their revolutionary implications. Industrial Unionism Is not simply a means for the everyday struggle against capitalism; its ultimate purpose is revolutionary, implying the necessity of ending the capitalist parliamentary state. Industrial Unionism is a factor in the final mass action for the conquest of power, as it will constitute the basis for the industrial administration of the Communist Commonwealth. (a) The Communist Party recognizes that the A. F. of L. Is reactionary and a bulwark of capitalism. (b) Councils of workers shall be organized in the shops as circumstances allow, for the purpose’ of carrying on the Industrial union struggle in the old unions, uniting and mobilizing the militant elements; these councils to be unified in a Central Council wherever possible. (c) It shall be a major task of the Communist Party to agitate for the construction of a general Industrial union organization, embracing the I. W. W., W. I. L. U., independent and secession unions, militant unions of the A. F. of TANARUS., and the unorganized workers, on the basis of the revolutionary class struggle. The Communist Party shall encourage movements of the workers in the shops seeking to realize workers’ control of industry, while indicating their limitations under capitalism; concretely, any movement analogous to the Shop Stewards of England. These movements (equally directed against the union bureaucracy) should be related to the Communist Party. The unorganized unskilled, workers (including the agricultural proletariat) constitute the bulk of the working class. The Communist Party shall directly and systematically agitate among these workers, awakening them to industrial union organization and action.

Weight In creased on Taking Tanlac. “I have gained several pounds in ; weight and have bees benefited so j much much that I think it is time for me to talk Tanlac for the benefit of I others,” said J.

My appetite was very poor, and what I ate gave me no nourishment. I lost weight until I fell off some thirty pounds. I got so nervous and worried and down hearted that I couldn’t eat, sleep or work on account of my condition. “I began to build up in a short time after I started on my first bottle of Tanlac. My appetite returned. I can now eat as hearty as anybody and feel stronger and better than I have in a long time. When I saw that Tanlac was doing me good, I kept on taking it, until now I feel like anew man. I sleep as sound as a baby every night, make my twenty-six mile trip every day and never feel tired. I am so glad I have regained my health that I want to tell everybody about Tanlac.” Tanlac is sold in Cartersville by Young Bros.; in Pine Log by J. B. Wei morts; in Bartow by the aßrtow Drug Cos.; in Kingston by Dr. T. L. Arnold, and in Taylorsville by Farmers’ Sup ply Company.—adv. Famous Play Comes To Grand Opera House Next Monday Eve Manager Harris G. Cope announced this week that he had secured for the Grand Opera House next Monday eve ning, “The Little Shepherd of King dom Come,” a dramatization of the fa mous novel of the same name by John Fox, Jr. That there will be a large audience to greet this company on its Initial ap pearance in Cartersville, Manager Cope is confident. The company itself has the highest endorsement of critics, and from a number the following review is taken from a recent issue of the Phila delphia Record: “There is much to touch one’s heart and a great deal to give merriment in ’The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come’ a story of the Cumberland Mountains, which was given initial production last evening at the Walnut Street theatre. The plav was received with much sat isfaction by a large and enthusiastic audience. Sidney Toler, who drama tized the John Fox, Jr., novel, ‘The Lit tle Shepherd of Kingdom Come,’ has given the drama the proper touch and has followed the dialect and doings of the crude mountaineers with much realism. Then there is the romantic atmosphere of the Kentucky mountains, in which lies the potent appeal. The dialect used by the mountaineers pre vailed during the first two acts of the play, which show scenes of the Cabins and haunts of these people, ever on the alert with rifles to defend their rights. A play of the Kentucky moun tains always has bitter fights between feudists, and in ‘The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come’ there are to be found the Dillon and Turner factions, the for mer always looking for trouble, and the Turner faction seeking peace. The story has much appeal and is built around a youngster named Chad, who was much of a mystery to the in habitants of ‘Kingdom Come.’ No one seemed to know who he was or whence he came, and he was known as just a waif among the people who fed and took a fatherly or motherly interest in him. He was claimed by Nathan mottled Manpovm Coughs and colds are weakening, let rid of them as quickly as you "an. Catarrh in any form saps the vitality. Fight it and light it hard.

The boy and his dog Jack were inseparable friends, and it was on ac count of the dog that the feud between the Dillons and the Turners caused much bloodshed. The Dillons asserted that the dog had killed some of their sheep, but the boy championed his pal, and was rewarded with the glad news that it was the Dillon dog. and not his, that had killed the sheep. “When things began to look bad for the boy, Turner protected him, and Me lissy, Turner's daughter, learned to love Chad, and when it was discovered that he was a kin of a wealth Northerner she felt that she was going to lose him. He begged her to believe in him and that he would return for her when he had become educated. And he did re turn after he had been North with his uncle, Major Buford, who had by chance found the boy in the little moun tain district of ‘Kingdom Come.’ "The stage settings are elaborate, and the fact of their being brand-new gave the scenes much color, especially in the mountain views. In the third act. which shows the living room at Buford Manor, the Major's home in Frankfort, Ky., there is a fancy dress ball in which the participants are dressed in Colonial costumes. The last net set is the same as the first, and Chad is seen coming back to get Me lissy, his little barefoot girl, who was his first love. “In the character of Chad, George Simpson was delightfully realistic. As Melissy, daughter of Big Joe Turner, Dorothy Dunn was pleasing in every way. Most of the fun in the play is supplied by James Kennedy, as ’Squire Middleton, who likes his ‘moonshine’ better than he does eating.” W.& A. CONDUCTOR OWNER VALUABLE TEXAS OIL LANDS H. C.

It has been the custom in the past for the Fair Asso ciation, through its various department heads, to solicit special prizes from the public, and particularly the mer chants of Cartersville. This practice will be discontinued; it’s not fair; too much like a “hold-up,” and is a disagreeable duty thrown by custom on officers of the Association. All voluntary donations, however, will be wel comed and given publicity in the county press, but our Premium List will not carry same. , It is the intention of the Fair Association to get this Premium List printed and issued by April Ist, and ad vertising space will be offered and solicited; advertising that will gointo from two to three thousand homes in the county six months and more before the fair opens. This we believe is the best advertising opportunity you will have this year. Can you beat it? The Bartow County Fair Association.
