As an example of how the powers
that be respect the right of free speech
in this country, we have the following;
Seattle, Nov. 3.-Fifteen socialist
speakers were arrested on the streets
OF Seattle last night and lodged in Jail
and denied bail. Among those taken in
custody were candidates for congress,
the supreme and superior benches and
day.
For several months there has been
war between the police and the social
lists. the latter insisting on holding
meetings against the orders of the
former. The socialists allege police per.
secution and claim that in being denied
the privilege of street speaking, the
right of freedom of speech is being
trampled on by the police.
During the arrests last night two men
were arrested and booked on charges
of assaulting police officers in the per-
tormance Of their duties. Nearly 800
people assembled on the streets. The
arrests occurred in different parts of the
city."

National Referendum.


A national referendum has been called
for each local to nominate q candidate
for National Secretary Of the Socialist
party, and seven members Of the Ma.
tional Executive Committee. These
,ominatious must be in by the 5th Of
December, at the national Office in Chi
sago. While Mahlon Barnes has without
doubt done the best that his ability
and an elephant of q National Commit
Zee would admit Of, still William Mailly
was the ablest man that ever held the
secretaryship of the American Socialist
party. He has a genius for organization
and q wonderful grasp Of the needs of
the party. Locals will make no mistake
IL they make him their nominee. For
members of the Executive Committee
those men should be chosen who have
the keenest knowledge of the needs and
slass conscious development of the
American party. Arthur Morrow Lewis,
Algernon Lee, erman Titus, Morris Hill
quit, Isaac Oowan, Charles Kerr and A.
N. Simons are men that have no SUI
perior in regard to experience and sa-
gacity in the movement. The locals
should not neglect this important mat
ter, but make their nominations and
send them in to Comrade Barnes, 269

lily Losing Ground

ly the socialist sheets are voicsless 90
far as socialism Is concerned From
various sources, however, there is suf-
ficient evidence 10 show that the So
cialists have polled at least is per cent
of the vote in Montana. Two years
ago the per cent was nine and eight
tenths, which placed Montana second on
the national list, California standing
first. The democrats have lost ground
all over the country. The capitalists
have definitely made the republican
party the custodian of their interests.
At the present writing it looks as
though the Montana vote will be in
the neighborhood of 5000. Two years
ago it was about 5000. The best re-
suits have been obtained In the best or
ganized territory. With more work the
vote could easily have reached the TO-
600 mark.

Consider for q moment the beastly
debasement to which womanhood is SUB.
jected in capitalist society. She is sim.
ply the property of man, to be governed
by him as may suit his convenience
She does not vote, she has no voice and
must bear silent witness TO her legally
ordained inferiority. She has :. com
pete with men In the factories and work.
shops and stores, and her inferiority is
taken advantage of to make her work
at still lower wages than the male slave
gets who works at her side. As an eco.
nomic dependent she is compelled to
sacrifice the innate refinement, the in.
herent purity and nobility of her sex
and for a pallet of straw marries the
man she does not love. The debauchinp
effect of the capitalist system upon
womanhood is accurately registered in
the divorce court and the house OF
shame. In socialism, woman would stand
forth the equal of man-all the avenues
would be open to her and she would nat
urally find her fitting place and rise
from the low plane Of menial seryility
to the dignity OF ideal womanhood
Breathing Lne air Of economic freedom
amply able to provide for herself in so
cialist society, we may be certain that
the cruel injustice that is now perpe'
trated upon her sex and the degradation
that results from IL will disappear for
