A list of the foundational values of The Northern Rose which are considered in editorial decisions.
Henry North
Updated version of the Socialist Commandments for The Northern Rose from the wall of the Clarion House:
Love your school-fellows, who will be your fellow colleagues for life.
Love learning, which is the food of the mind; be as grateful to your teacher as to your parent.
Make every day holy by good and useful deeds and kindly actions.
Honour good people, be courteous to everyone, bow to none.
Do not hate or speak evil of anyone; do not be revengeful, but stand up for your rights, and resist oppression.
Do not be cowardly, be a friend to the weak and love justice.
Remember that all good things of the earth are produced by labour, whoever enjoys them without working for them is stealing the bread of the workers.
Observe and think in order to discover the truth; do not believe what is contrary to reason, and never deceive yourself or others.
Do not think that they who love their country must hate other nations, or wish for war, which is a remnant of barbarism.
Look forward to the day when all people will be free citizens of one community, and live together as siblings in peace and righteousness.
