“All the past we leave behind,
We debouch upon a newer mightier world, varied
world,
Fresh and strong the world we seize, world of labor
and the march,
Pioneers! O Pioneers!

“These are of us,. they are with us,
All for primal needed work, while the followers there
in embryo wait behind,
We today’s procession heading, we the route for

westward to open up this continent, are applicable
today to the socialist pioneers who push forward in-
to the new era of socialism which is the future of
mankind.

The readers of the Pacific Tribune who support
our paper financially and help to extend its circula-
tion are members of this growing army of socialist
pioneers.

“Literature is big only in one way-——when used
4s an aid in the growth of the humanities—a further-
ing of the cause of the masses—a means whereby
men may be revealed to each other as brothers,”
wrote Whitman. And on another occasion he said,
in’ a characteristic mood:

“t don’t want the brotherhood of the world to

- be so long a-coming. I can wait till it comes—it is

sure to come—-but if I can hurry it by a day or so
I am .going to do so.”

To hurry the coming of “the brotherhood of
the world” is one of the major. tasks of the Pacific
Tribune. But without the support of our army of
readers, we could not continue publication. Hence
it is literally true that the people who support our
annual financial: drive are pioneers who are clearing
the route for mankind’s march forward into the new
world of socialism. :

“Till with sound of trumpet,
Far, far off the daybreak call—hark! how loud and
clear | hear it wind,
Swift! to the head of the army!—swift! spring fo
your places,
Pioneers! © pioneers!”
