Seattle Socialist
Platform

We, the Socialist party Of Seattle,
in convention assembled, proclaim
our allegiance to the Socialist party
of America. and affirm our unfalter-
ing adherence to the principles and
the program of International revo-
lutionary socialism.
In presenting our candidates to
the working class and those in SYM
pathv with it, we base our appeal
upon the following declarations and
our platform of principles:
I. Labor produces all wealth.
2. Under the present economic
and political conditions labor's share
in the wealth which it creates is
merely a mean and uncertain sub
sistence.
8. So long as the present organ
lzatloh OF INDUSTRY remains the cap
italist class will monopolize the
means of production and distribu-
ton and will appropriate, through
the wage system, the wealth created
by the working class.
4. This appropriation of labor's
wealth by the capitalists is so com.
plete that il enables them to live in
luxury and idleness.
S. AS a necessary consequence
of this exploitation of the laborers
by the capitalists, this exploitation
of all property out of the hands of
the toilers into the private owner

METHODISTS FAVOR
THE OPEN SHOP

Cincinnati, o.. Feb. I5.-At a
meeting of Methodist editors and
publishing managers of the United
States here yesterday, it was decided
that every printing establishment
controlled by the Methodist book
concern shall hereafter be run on the
open shop" plan, making no dis
tinction between union and non-un-
ion workers. 1t was declared that
since the open shop plan had been
there hadlbeen better ser
vice in every way and that it would
be absurd to think of ever restoring
the alliance with the unions.

uepcnuent labor party proves that
the people are fast losing faith in
the capitalist parties; are beginning
to recognize the class struggle, and
the consequent need of independen,
action.
The time has now come when the
liberal party, the long professed
friend of labor, will be required to
redeem its many promises, or de-
clare itself in open hostility to labor.
The great vote they have received in
the present campaign is due to the
pledges they have made to give their
support to the urgent reforms that
the times demand.
Its position, however, when a
crisis is reached, when the demands
of labor, if granted, would result in
decrease in capitalist revenue, can
well be gathered from the words at
tributed to John Morley. q member
of the new liberal cabinet, in a
speech at Montrose. Il am per-
fectly sure" he said, that the la
Dor contingent would ask for some
thing which l. for one, would do the
best l could to prevent its having,
and i certainly would not admit
that the new labor contingent would
always be in the right"
Indeed, liberalism has no other
alternative; as one of the bulwarks
of capitalism in England II has no
other course to pursue.
When the proletarian revolution
airy forces threaten the revenues Of
capitalism, it will make common
cause against them in order to per-
petuate the present system of ex-
ploitation.
The line of cleavage has already
been drawn between socialism and
democracy, and as the Clarion says.
The workers have crossed their
Rubicon, and though Pompey Ban
nerman's mercenaries fatuously ac-
claim them yet as allies, that delu-
sion is not likely to endure when the
socialists get to business"
The great strides the revolution is
making in England is further proof
that the proletarian throughout the
civilized world is awakening. The
vast edifce of capitalism is being
shaken to its foundation. The world
is rapidly marching towards its goal
the cooperative commonwealth.
British Labor is awakening, it is
beginning to exercise the political
power it possesses to its own advan-
tage, and as the Worker says is
taking something like its due place
in the international field of labor"

II mas Deen tne lntentlOn OF the
News to give publicity to the social
ist school conducted by Comrades
Simons of Chicago. Our limited
space has not permitted US to insert
the notices previously; but we have
had so many inquiries here in Mon
tana as to where such instruction
could be obtained that we publish
portion of the statement issued by
Comrade Simons. This work is the
best thing of its kind in America.
The academic teaching of the bour-
geois class, which dominates all our
institutions of learning today, with
its false setting and conclusions, is
to be withdrawn and superseded by
the accurate and scientific presenta-
ton of knowledge of the socialist
thought.
Every intelligent socialist will
agree that more and better educated
members is the greatest need of the
socialist party. There is urgent
need for better prepared men and
women as speakers. writer's, organ.
izers, party officials, and to fill the
public positions to which socialists
will soon be elected, and in all 9TH
er ranks of party activity.
Individual, undirected, unsys-
tematic study, duplicates effort and
is as ~astefu of energy as produc-
ton with the old-fashioned hand
tools in an age of machinery. Co.
operative directed study means ra-
pid progress with a minimum waste
of energy.
During the months of January,
February and March. 1906, a school
will be conducted in the city of Chi
cago to meet these needs. A study
of the courses of lectures described
below will show that this affords the
best opportunity for study along
these lines from a working class
point of view ever offered in this
country.

Enters
Parliament
The Awakening of the British Prole.
tariat...ClaSS Lines Are
Drawn.

For the first time in the political
history of Great Britain, labor will
possess in the next parliament a
body of representatives numerically
powerful enough to influence the
councils of the nation; rendering !,
no longer necessary for labor to de.
grade its dignity in the begging OF
favors from the representatives oi
capitalism in the parliamentary lob
bies. For the future capitalism will
have to face an attack from the
forces of labor in its very strong
holds, in the shape of an indepen-
dent labor party, pledged to sup
port labor, on whom it relies fnan-
cially for its support. Labor" as
the London Clarion says, is no
longer on the doorstep. Labor is
inside. Something will happen.
The present awakening of the
British proletarist is distinctly of a
revolutionary character as the facts
prove. The recognition on the part
of a great portion of the working
class of the fact Gas 10 evidenced at
the polls) thst the emancipation of
labor rests with labor itself. and that
one great means to that end is the
control of the political machine,
marks an epoch in the history of the
English labor movement.
The real issue Of the present elec-
toral campaign 10 not a. the liberals
suppose, viz, the question of free
trade and a Wholesale condemna-
ton of the Balfour administration.
but whether the working class in the
future shall formulate their own
platform or still continue to allow
the capitalist class to do it for them,
or as the London Times puts it:
The issue is whether the working
class who form the bulk of the
electrotate are to decide the policy
they desire or 60 on contenting
themselves with choosing between
the policies offered to them by the
traditional parties. They have de-
cided for the first alternative. They
have done what some observers ex-
pected them to do long ago."
The British proletariat is at last
awakening. The persistent propa-
ganda of the socialist party is bring
ing results.
The newly constituted parliament
ary labor party cannot be termed
definitely socialist; it, however, con-
tains at least twelve stalwart social
lists, and the remainder. If not So
cialists. have strong leanings to-
wards socialism.

ticed is that the existence OF an in

Pekin, Jan. 4.-The Chinese stu
dents in Japan, who number 5000,
have struck against the attempts OF
the government to subject them to
official supervision. They are
threatening to return to China in a
body. II this threat should be
carried out it would prove a dis
turbing element here, as the SYM
pathies of the students are anti-for-
eign.
A notable movement has recently
begun here in the establishment OF
schools for the education of women
under the direction of several prin-
cesses with Japanese ladies as vol
unteer teachers. All the schools
are crowded with girls from leading
families. Fourteen Mongolian prin-
cesses have arrived at Pekin for the
purpose of seeking instruction in the
European languages.

George Barr appeared before the
council requesting them to continue
agitating the subway at the rail
road yards. Mr.. Barr is deeply in
terested in the matter; and has
laudably epdeavored to impress
the council with the necessity for
prompt action in this matter which
SO vitality concerns the people. Mr..
Barr realizes perhaps more keenly
than any other person in this vicin-
ity the danger to which people are
subjected when they cross the tracks;
and it is to be hoped that he will
continue to arouse the interest Of the
people in this matter. Upon the
suggestion by Mr.. Barr, the Mayor
appointed committee composed of
himself, and Councilmen Scott and
Hennessy to ascertain the feasibil-.
ity of constructing the subway, and
estimate the cost thereof. The mat
ter will then be brought before Supt.
Beechly of the Illinois Central for
further action.
