the middle-clasa parties. Belgium is the
country in which the Socialists are the
most strongly represented in the legislative
chamber, and the smallness of the
results achieved in that country Is
pretty freely commented upon by the
friends as well as the adversaries Of Social
ism. This apparent failure is, no doubt,
partly to be accounted for by the presence
of powerful and united reactionary ma
jority which the other parties, cementsl
together by a common fear Of Socialism,
have sent against them to the chamber;
but it is also due to the inherent difficulties
Of curing one ailment of the body polite
without creating new ailment. John
Morley's smile about driving a ramrod
through the delicate mechanism Of society
was good one, though he used it as an
excuse for doing Lothing, instead of making
it a reason for exercising skill and caution.
The fact that the land, which is at the root
of private capitalism, is owned bya bigoted
and numerous peasantry, makes 1t difficult
to work radically and scientifically in Bel
GUM, and makes the task of the Belgian
Socialist legislator as delicate and intricate
as one can well imagine. An instance OF
religious bigotry is reported from one of the
cotton or wooden mills where a work
woman, who had several children, in
Guiding sucking babe was dismissed for
eating piece of bacon on Good Friday on
her way to the mill.

the middle and upper classess Did they

his system? (Applause.) Many women

at night, when jaded and tired out. With
regard to the unemployed, Comrade Hynd-

under Capitalism, and the introduction OF

the unemployed kept down the wages OF
the workers. Hear, hear.) They should

Four branches did not pay their levies;
three out of the four succeeded in getting
their levies remitted. Mr.. Thomas Ashton,
Oldham, was reappointed chairman. This
is the eighteenth time he has been elected
to that position. After much discussion it
was agreed that the spinners out on strike
at Booths Springfield Mill, Oldham, be
put on 81 per week strike pay. To help
the distress among the spinners in War
rington it was agreed to grant them ESQ.
After some exhibition of ignorance and
bitterness it was decided not to be repre-
sented at the forthcoming International
Socialist and Trade Union Congress next
summer. But to the Trades Union Con-
gress to be held this year it was agreed to
send two delegates, James Mawdsley and
j. Lees of Oldham. 1t was also decided
to invest another eco, 900 in the Manchester

FOR THE MODISH SHIRT WAIST.
New and Attractive Idea In Bolt Buck
les and Cuff Buttons.


les and Cuff Buttons.
A new idea for belt buckles and cuff
buttons has been evolved which is like
ly to make them as attractive as they
are indispensable. The reign of the
shirt waists, instead of being over, is
only begun, and they furnish such ex-
cellent opportunity for displaying
buckles and buttons that the latter have
become a more important accessory OF
a woman's summer apparel than ever.
The scheme is to use the coats OF
arms or flags of the different nations,
the ensigns armorial or escutcheOns OF
ones family, or the insignia Of the
army or navy for designs. For girls
who incline to uniforms and their wear
ers there are sets of light artillery,
with mounted cannon for buckles and
innocent-looking cannon balls for but
tons. Crossed sabers and stacked rifles
also come under the army designs. So
girl may 60 forth armed and equipped
for conquest Of any kind, and can look
like an animated arsenal II she sees ut.
very choice set has the coat of arms
of Spain for buckle and the Spanish
flag, in diminutive form, for buttons.
They are made of gold and enamel, the
blue, gold, white and tan making a
harmonious and subdued combination
of colors. The royal arms Of Great
Britain is favorite design, the two big
British lions made of gold making it
look more solid and massive than any
of the others. The most popular, OF
course, Is our own big spread-eagle,
with e Pluribus Unum floating under
his chin. The buttons used with
Americas arms are reproductions Of
flags, either national or those Of clubs
or colleges. The old conventional de-
signs have been relegated to the bar
gain counters, and their places are be-
ing taken by the blazoning arms Of the
country Of ones choice or birth, or the
escutcheons of those who can afford to
be proud Of their ancestors and Of the
marks of dignity and distinction which
have descended upon themselves.

Massachusetts, Woman Suffrage As
ISOLATION.
Mary Clarke Smith, State Organizer Of
the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage As
ISOLATION, with headquarters at 3 Park
street, Boston, issues the following appeal
to the women voters of the State
Feeling that no. efficient work can be
done in the interest of equal suffrage in
Massachusetts without thorough organiza-
ton, urge you to form Suffrage League
or Political Equality Club in your town.
Such league or Club should have for its
objects to further the enfranchisement of
women, to take active interest in town
government, especially school affairs, and
to create such state of public opinion as
shall help to send to the Legislature men
who are pledged to vote for equal rights for
women.
Many women failed to register to vote at
the State election last November because it
was difficult to make them acquainted with
the nature of the demand made upon them.
A league in each town would have materi-
ally increased the vote; for league is
always great educator and center Of in
fuence. In the leagues we find earnest
men and women to cooperate with us.
Several towns were carried for suffrage be-
cause of their thorough organization.
Therefore unite the men and women in an
earnest suffrage league for the advance
ment of the greatest cause since the anti
slavery movement.
Because for women to quietly to
acauiesce in their present disabilities is to
acauiesce in what is relic of barbaric
times.
Because the woman who pays taxes
should have voice in how her taxes shall
be expended.
Because women have gained in business
interests 800 per cent. in ten years, and
need to learn to protect those interests.
Because the women colleges are send
ing out every year hundreds of women SO
we'll trained that the country needs the
fresh intelligence they will bring into the
political arena. In the interests Of a
broader, more intelligent, and nobler
humanity, ask you to organize and help
the work we are doing
All information with regard to organiza-
ton will be gladly given to all applying at
this office.

The Importance of Medical Examina-

The Importance of Medical Examina-
lions of Our School Children.
The following appeared in London JUS
tice: No Socialist and no reasonable man
will deny the great Importance which
should be attached to proper attention be-
ing paid to our children's health. The
Education Department Of late years has
done great dea! towards forcing the erec-
ton of we'll ventilated, well lighted and
roomy schools, and condemning all the
old shambles of schools as fast as 1t can,
without disturbing the regular attendance
of children at school. 1t has also allowed
the various School Boards throughout the
country to use public funds for great
many purposes so as to assist the
teacher to give, and the child to receive,
instruction. AS have already pointed out
in Justice some time ago, spectacles
must be provided to assist the near sighted
child to learn how to read; and under some
School Boards dentist is employed to ex-
anime the chldren's teeth and draw out all
bad ones. Another School Board teaches
them physical exercise. Other boards do
something by way Of paying for medical
examinations of individual children who
can not attend school regularly through ill
health. But what we want, and what we
Socialists must insist upon at all School
Board elections, is the appointment OF q
medical officer, whose duty it shall be to
visit all the schools every day and search
out all unhealthy children, send them home
prescribe for them, and thus prevent dis
eases spreading to other children, and pre-
mature death in many cases. have in
sisted ON this being done on our board (but
we have too many members who are inter
ested in their own schools, and yet come on
our board to boss ours), but l have been
unable to get further than the payment for
examination of any child declared by the
parent to be unfit to attend school, This is
slight improvement, DIS formerly parents
had to pay from Is. to IS. Cd. sometimes to
have their children examined and get a
child unfitness to attend school regularly.
Thus, to my Socialist comrades, l say
if your child is i'll, do not send it to school.
If your Board will not believe you then let
them pay for a medical certificate to satisfy
themselves. If you are too poor to give
your child breakfast before sending it to
school, do not break down its health by
having its little brain worked, and at the
same time feeling the pangs Of hunger. Let
them summon you before the magistrate
for non attendance of your child at school
and then be man enough to speak out on
behalf of those who can not speak for them
selves. l believe few test cases such as
these would bring about the free mainte-
nance of our children sooner than anything
else. j. SHUFFLEBoTHAM.
