mine owners to provide safety
vents for foul air and dust, with

legislatures would compel these

SEES THE FAULT.

The following article was
written by a Massachusetts com
rade for the Salt Lake Crisis. and
is worthy of consideration be-
cause of its criticism of points of
great interest to the Socialist
movement at this time:
Your editorial on Socialist
Party Tactics" hits the nail
squarely on the head. The So
cialist party is cursed by a noun
tain of red tape that has made of
it a narrow, bigoted and fanatical
party, ruled by few superior"
beings. Superior because these
few bosses are the only people
who can Save society" Either
we must change our tactics to a
common sense organization or we
shall never see the White house.
We are spending half our time
and a large percentage of our
funds to collect funds and turn
them over to a national commit
tee, only to be returned through
this national committee to the
state. The question is do Utah
comrades know best the require
ments for Socialist success in that
state, or do 4 lot of high salaried
officials in Chicago? No one will
deny that we need a national com.
mittee, but we do not need a ma
tional committee to boss us in
every effort we make. The writer
is a Massachusetts comrade
though now in New York, and
wish to say to the comrades il
Utah that one cause for the loss
of $4,000 votes in Massachusetts
is the fact that less than fifty mer
and women, out of thirty-threC
thousand votes in 1902, absolutel,
bossed the party. No one denies
Montana news., 1905-03-29

that these fifty me mare Socialists,
but every sane man will admit
that these fifty men are Socialists,
with a membership of twelve hun
dred and a vote of thirty-three
thousand, that party is not a
social democracy by forty rows
of apple trees. We pay ST 500 a
year to a national secretary and
twice as much more for the ex-
penses of the red tape connected
with the national Office, and all
for what? Well, at least a con-
siderable portion of the time of
the secretary, as well as the clerks,
is employed in making the rank
and file toe the line. In other
words, these big guns carry about
all the wisdom for the rest of us.
If this is social democratic tactics,
then | am not a social democrat.
But at any rate we must either
get rid of the enormous waste If
time and money, to say nothing
of the downright foolishness con-
nected with out present tactics, or
it will take forever and one day
more to win a political victory.
Montana news., 1905-03-29
STRIKES THE POINT.

A member of the s. L. p, of
Butte, writes letter to the Mon
tana News in which he en-
phasizes the fact that his party
owns its own press and that the
press is not dominated by one
man but by a national executive
committee. Just so, and how
does this wise" plan work out? ?
1t works out in just this way
That the one man through the ma
tional executive committee sees
to it that the party is allowed to
have no papers save those man
aged from the headquarters in
New York, which the member
ship throughout the country has
to support, willy-nilly. The party
has one organ in the English Ian
guage. 1t is published at New
York and the whole country sup
ports it. 1t is jealous of its mo-
nopoly. for that monopoly means
a good deal of power to the boss.
But it slowly works mischief 70
the party at large. for it prevents
that party from building up a
local press for the purpose of
effective local propaganda.-Mil-
waukee Herald.

The Herald's expose of j.
Carlos Becker alias last week has
brought us quite a number of let
ters bearing on that foxy gentle
mans operations. From one COM
rade we learn that Becker OPP
Grated in Indiana during the presi-
dental campaign, where he con-
tracted advertising bills that 9th
ers had to pay. He went thence
to Texas and was altogether too
slippery to be held responsible
for them, although he later had
the supreme nerve to apply for
the position of state organizer of
Indiana. Becker puffs himself as
the most famous lieutenant" of
Eugene V. Debs in the A. r. u.
strike in 1904, but it is falsehood
in all details. The current Issue
of the Lineup, of Kansas City,
announces that Becker had been
expelled from the Kansas City
local, and letter on another page
in this issue shows that he had
been previously expelled by an
other local, located in Kansas

cause The News published an
article by Comrade Becker. II
the above is correct the comrades
should be wised-up and if it is all
fake, Comrade Becker should be
able to prove il. The columns OF

Montana news., 1905-03-29

The coal miners of Horr and
Aldridge, Mont. have been max
ing an heroic stand against the
lockout" of the Montana Coal &
Coke company since last August.
Not single break has occurred
in the ranks of the miners, and
every effort so far upon the part
of the corporation has failed 10
find a weak spot in the armor of
the union men, who refuse to be-
come the subjugated slaves of
coal-baron despotism. The COM
pany in its desperation has served
notices upon the miners 10
abandon their homes, which are
built upon company ground. This
is the modern method by which
corporations ''conhscate" the
property of workingmen. The
company owns the land and in
duces employees to build homes
thereon. but when a conflict arises
the company demands not only
the surrender of the land but like
wise the home which the employe
has built upon the pittance that he
has saved from the earnings of
wage-slavery. The attorneys of
the Western Federation of Min
ers are looking into the legal
phase of this matter, and the
Montana Coal & Coke company
will not have the smooth sailing
in putting into operation lis
scheme of confscation and grand
larceny. Should the Montana
Coal & Coke company introduce
strike-breakers and scabs to take
the places of former employees
who have been locked out, then
the matter will be up to the union
men of the smelters and miners OF
Montana to refuse to handle coal
and coke that are the products OF
"scab" labor.-Miners Magazine.

There is a bright future for the
laboring class, but they must ap-
ply themselves. The child slaves
of the southern cotton mills, who
work fourteen hours per day for
a mere existence, the sweat-shops
OF the cities. and other similar
products OF the present system,
should be sufficient to open the
voters eyes to the great cause of
humanity.

Every newspaper man is a
tentative Socialist, though he may
not admit it," says the editor of
the Helena Independent, who is
a wage slave at so much per week.
One would assume from the
above suggestion, and many other
similar thoughts uttered by the
same author. that there was a
possibility of the gentleman be-
coming a Socialist. OF course the
newspaper man who "is a Social
ist." but does not admit it, is
usually withheld from admitting
the truth becouse of the small
political graft that comes his way
Socialism will remove the graft
and place such men in a position
Montana news., 1905-03-29

At this time organization is
needed more than propaganda in
the Socialist cause. 1t is an
easier task to make a Socialist
out of the non-Socialist than it is
to get the average Socialist to be-
come thoroughly grounded in the
revolutionary movement. Let us
give the organization more at
tention. Educate the man who
voted the Socialist ticket to the
necessity of becoming dues-pay-
ing member and a working part oi
the organization.

preach, and preach what they

AN EXPLANATION.

A few issues ago we promised
Comrade Frank ]. Miller, OF
Gardiner, to explain what was
meant by the initiative and refer
endum. The rush of work at
this office has delayed the same,
as well as many other things that
should have been attended to, but
suffice to say, all Socialists real
ize that the best one can do is
all that can be expected. That
is what the management has done
at this end of the gun.
A great amount of space might
be used in explaining the initia-
tive and referendum, but at this
time it will be necessary for the
News to explain it as briefly as
possible.
The initiative" means as the
word implies, to initiate, to start,
TO begin. In the sense of this
noted and much talked of ''ini-
tiative and referendum law, its
intent and purpose is to give to
the people the right to originate
laws themselves, regardless of
the legislature. At this point let
it be remembered that the late
legislature passed an initiative
and referendum bill and which
will probably be tried in the near
future. For instance, this law
gives the people the right-pro-
vided certain instructions are fol-
lowed-to frame a law and have
the same submitted to a vote of
the people; if a majority vote for
the measure it becomes a law and
vice versa. The referendum
means, as the word implies-re-
fer-refer back to the people.
For instance, if law be passed
by the legislature, upon proper
legal acts or steps explained in
the new law, certain per cent
of the voters of the state can
have the proposed law submitted
to vote of the people: if a ma
Jority vote sustains the legisla-
ture the law becomes effective.
and if majority vote decides
against the proposed law it is
killed, regardless of the legisla-
ture.
The law recently passed in this
state is not what it should be.
as it requires a great amount of
work and expense to put il in
operation. Only two organiza-
tions exist in the state that can
force It into operation-the cap
italists and the Socialists.
The capitalists, large mine
owners, etc, can put it in opera
tion by being able to secure the
services of hirlings to circulate
petitions over the state. which is
necessary. The Socialist organ
ization, being so thoroughly or
ganized and the comrades always
ready to do great amount of
work free gratis, can also put
the law in operation were it de-
sired.
However, it is doubtful If the
Socialists will give it much con-
sideraticn, as i is of minor i'm
portance so far as the great social
revolution is concerned. 1t hinges
closely on the bourgeois, reform
propositions, at the present stage
of the game.

The Leader has no criticism to make
of the manner in which any man who
does not claim to be a Christian and a
member Of the church passes his time
on Sunday or any other day, nOr as to
his moral character. But Of the church
member who violates the Sabbath or
uses it's hours for the advancement Of
his business, or is VIGOROUSLY immoral
and a whisky bloat, it does say that
he should relieve the church roll from
his polluted name and throw off all
Semblance of being a follower Of the
lOwly Nazarene. No such mar can
conceal his deformity of character
from his fellows. His miserable n.y.
pocrisy is fully known, and, although
nobody may mention it to him, he is
not fooling anybody. Religion is ev-

THlNGs TO FORGET.

III you would increase your happi-
ness and prolOng your life, forget your
neighbours faults. Forget the SANDER
you have heard. Forget the faultfind-
ing, and give a little thought to the
cause which provoked it. Forget the
p%eculiarities of your friends, and only
remember the good points which make
you fond of them. Forget all personal
quarrels or histories you may have
heard by accident, and which, IL re-
peated, would seem a thousands times
worse than they are. Blot out, as far
as possible, all the disagreeableS OF
life; they will come, but they will grow
larger when you remember them, and
the constant thought of the acts Of
meanness, or worse still, malice, will
only lend to make you more familiar
with them. Obliterate everything
disagreeable from yesterday, start out
| with a clean sheet for today and write
upon it for sweet memory's sake, only
those things which are lovely and
loveable.

VARDAMAN AND WILLIAMS LOCKING
ARMS.

Evidences are not lacking that the
senatorial race which will not culmin-
ate for three years is opening up with
John Sharp Williams and James K.
Vardaman, earstwhile personal and
political friends, about to lock horns
in a combat which will take the
political life of one of the c0mbatants.
The Saturday Evening News, print
ed in John Sharp Williams town,
Yazoo City, gives Governor Vardaman
the following broadside:
Some funny things happen in this
old world. 1t has not been so very
long ago since Mr.. James X. Varda-
man was ''cussin" Mr.. Roosevelt for
accepting and riding in special trains
rendered the president by the rail-
roads, claiming that a public official
couldn't be honest and accept such IA
vorS from corporations, and intimat-
ing that Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt was
all sorts Of a grand rascal for so doing.
About the last time we heard from
Honest jim" we are told he was rid
ing in a special train rendered him by
the Illinois Central Railroad Company,
one Of the biggest corporations and
monOpolies in the world. Now the
question naturally arises, has the gov.
ernor changed his opionin about RoOse.
velt being such a bad man for accept.
ing these free trains OF has he become
a bold and bad man himself?
Mr.. James X. Vardaman scored
Gov. LonginO numerically for using
the machinery Of his office and neglect
ing his official duties by going about
the state making speeches in the in
terest of his (Longino's) candidacy fol
the United States Senate, while gov.
ernor of Mississippi. Would it not be
a much worse crime in Gov. Varda.
man, after having made such a fuss
about it, to do the same thing.-Bi-
