Russians In Germany.

In Germany the authorities are do
ing their utmost to stamp out all traces
Of revolt with an iron heel. "vor-

Of Russian subjects in Berlin. The po.
lice behaved with great brutality, and
compelled mother to quit the bed
side Of her sick daughter. Last Wed
nesday the police also made raid on
some lecture halls frequented by Rus
SLAMS and made ten arrests, Six of the
men arrested were sent out Of Germany
and two were brought up before the
courts on a charge of being members
of secret society. In Germany the
police openly help the Russian detsc.

The Fight In Austria.

The new Austrian Reichstag will
meet on the 18th Of June. The cleo
tions in Galicia are. adding from four
to eight more seats to the socialists,
so that our comrades may sit in Vienna
on the 18th some 30 strong. Now that
more complete accounts are coming in
of the course of the election, I can see
that it required some courage to stand
up for socialist views at the ballotbox.
At the Spalier election, for example,
two regiments of infantry with fixed
bayonets stood before the polling.
booths. The police were all for the
middle-class men, and all against the
socialists. 1t was made perfectly plain
how the voters were expected to vote,
and yet the majority of votes were
cast in the opposite direction.

Comrade George Williams, Organic

writing relative to the need of good
campaigner there says: "The State
Committee has written the National
Committee requesting them to send a
good speaker and agitator to San Fran
cisco to speak during the present cam
paign. The necessity for one is ap-
parent to any one who is acquainted
with the conditions prevalent in this
city. The old parties are disintrigat-
ing, the Union Labor party has dis
gusted the working men with its in.
efficiency, and the incompetency ami
corruption of its leaders, the class
struggle is actually on, and at the
present the workers are fighting on
the economic field under great odds,
50 il is only natural that they should
look to the socialist party as a polit.
zeal reflex of their economic needs and
desires. Without being present in
San Francisco you can form no idea
of the bitterness with which the class
struggle is being waged. Throughout
the working class district, the ears
are empty and the boycott is being
rigidly enforced against not only the
railways but against all who patrouize
the railways. The seabs who are run
ming the ears are heavily armed five
Of them have been killed, many of
them terribly beaten, two union men
murdered and several wounded. The

Hungary to Follow.

After Austria, Hungary I see that
last week the Hungarian Prime Min
lister was received by the Emperor
Francis Joseph, and that the monarch
gave him instructions to prepare, as
quickly as possible, for the inaugura-
tion of universal suffrage in Hungary,
and to present to parliament the nee
essary measures for carrying 1t into
effect. The result of the Austrian
elections has, of course, caused great
excitement in Hungary, and there is
no doubt that, once universal suffrage
is gained, the Hungarians will present
the world with a surprise as great as
that IL has received in the case Of
Austria.

THE FINNISH ASSEMBLY.
A Red-Letter pay for Finland.

A Red-Lctter Day for Finland.
Thursday last week was a red-letter
day in the annals Of Finland and in
the history Of the women's movement.
On that day MAY 23) the Finnish
Landtag, or National Assembly, held
its first sitting. On that day, for the
first time in parliamentary history, a
group Of women M. P.'s (l9 in all, or
nearly one.ffth Of the whole assembly,
took their seats as public representa-
tives along with the men. And last,
but not least, il was a red.letter day
for the socialist cause, for in an as
sembly Of 100 members some 20 social
lists took their seats, and by an over
whelming majority became the arbit-
ers Of Finland's destinies.
AT the present moment the Finnish
Assembly is the most democratic as
sembly in the whole world. This is
demonstrated not only by its huge So
cialist majority and by its group of
women NJ. P.'s, but also by the status
Of the latter. Seven Of them are school
teachers, three are working men 8
wives, one is a seamstress, Gnd one
a weaver. Mile. Mira silliampe sits
there, once a domestic servant, later
an editor Of a socialist journal, and
now the leading woman socialist depu-

Grippenberg, the Finnish champion of
Women's Rights. There also sits the

addition to these are also a clergy.
mans wife, and farmers wife, and
two other married women who have
been elected, as well as their husbands.
And the women have not gone there
merely to follow the lead of the men;
they have gone there with a definite
programme Equal statutory wages
for women and men for the same work,
equal rights for illegitimate and legit.
innate children, and the establishment
of civil marriage-these are some OF
the items on their list.

What Revolution, Means.

Revolution simply means that the
evolution of society has reached the
point where a complete transforma-
tion, both external and internal, has
become Immediately inevitable. No
man and no body Of men can make
such a revolution before the time is
ripe for it; tho, as men become con-
seious instead of unconscious agents in
the development of the society in
which they live and Of which they
form a part, they may themselves help
to bring about this revolution. A sue
cessful revolution, whether effected in
on way or the other, merely gives
legal expression and sanction to the
new forms which, for the most part un-
observed or disregarded, have develop
ed in the womb Of the old society.
Force may be used at the end Of the
period as during the incubative and
full growth. IL is true, as Marx said,
that force is the midwife of progress
delivering the old society pregnant
with the new; but on the other hand,
force is also the abortionist of reac.
tion, doing its utmost to strangle the
new society in the womb Of the old
Force itself, on either side, is merely
detail in that inevitable growth
which none can very rapidly advance
or seriously hinder.-Hyndman, Econ.

Some Definitions.

Usury-This word originally meant
anything charged by the lender of
money for its use; but now 1t refers to
any charge above the legal rate.-Stu-
dents Reference Work.
Usury-Interest paid for the loan of
money.-Universal Dictionary. See
also webster's and other standard
authors
Umry-According to the Bible was
any charge for the use of anything
loaned the needy.
How many Of the people who believe
that they believe the Bible are aware
of the Bible teachings on this subject.
The moral of the foregoing lesson
is that the economic interests of the
dominant class in society are the de-
termining factors in shaping the moral
codes, religious creeds and laws of the
people. The popular ideals are formed
by the BENEFICIARY class Of the business
system.

institution stands for interest, rent and
profit and the competitive system. 1t
has conformed its teachings to the me-
thods by which the dominant class get
their living. And this is the reason
why our public schools teach the inno-
cent credulous student, how to do sums
in interest, rent and profit without
raising question as to the morality of
these factors, for exploiting labor. And
this is also the reason why, in answer
to the mercenary demand of the capital
list class for foreign markets our edu-
Gators teach hero and flag worship and
militarism in the public schools, our
great moralists preach war and patrio-
tism from the pulpit and our working
men become food for gunpowder and
cannon.
A knowledge of these facts leads the
student Of socialism to deal with the
economic as the basis of all social law
and custom. Mans conduct is mostly
determined by economic influences.
Let us understand this fact and treat
him accordingly.-organizer.

The Divorce Problem.

Many churches declare that there
can be no scuh a thing as "moral
divorce" between married people.
"Whom God has joined together, let
no man put asunder," or words to that
effect, is the ultimatum Of the church.
Is that soi Did the infinite God
in his supreme wisdom accomplish all
the unhappy, wretehed, tragical "mar-
riages' which curse mankind with evil
years and ill-conceived offspringsf 1t
is, at least, a question.
In so conservative and devoutly in.
elined a publication as "The outlook" T"
it is interesting to see from the pen
of Judge E Ray Stevens, of the ninth
judicial district of Wisconsin, the fol
lowing:
"It is easier to call divorce an evil
than it is nationally to discuss the
problem and work out a solution. Bad
divorce laws, laxly administered, do
infinite crime and domestic infelieity.
But drastic divorce legislation may be
as immoral and lead to even more dis
astrous consequences to society and
TO the individuals most concerned. A
wise divorce law, properly admins
tered, is not a menace to social NOR
atty. Cases come to the courts every
day where divorce is a social duty.
"If you feel that divorce should not
be granted, go sit in the court room
and listen to the tales told by these
wretched men, women and children;
soon you will repeat, with Carroll d.
Wright, Il do not believe that divorce
is a menace to the purity and sacred
ness Of the family; but I do believe
that il is menace to the internal
brutality, of whatever name, be il
crude OF refined, which at times makes
hell of the holiest of human rela.
tions. I believe the divorce move
ment finds its impetus outside of laws,
outside Of our institutions, outside of
our theology; that II finds its impetus
in the rebellion of the human heart
against that slavery which binds in
the cruelest bonds Of the cruelest pros
titution human beings who have by
their foolishness, by their want Of wis
dom, or by the Intervention of friends,
missed the divine purpose as well as
the civil purpose Of marriage. ] be
lieve the result will be an enhanced
purity, a sublime sacredness, a more
beautiful embodiment Of Lamartine g
trinity-the trinity of the father, the
mother and the child-to preserve
which Gin all it's sacredness society
must take the bitter medicine labeled
divorce. '''-Helena Independent.

BIRD FLIGHT.
Some Curious Facts About the size
of Wings and Bodies.

Some Curious Facts About the Size
of Wings and Bodies.
In the attempt to discover some uni
versal law of bird flight scientists have
disclosed concerning Il number of spe-
cies a most puzzling paradox, perhaps
the most mysterious of the enigmas
that the subject presents. 1t is that in
number of birds and insects the size
OF the wings decreases in proportion to
the increase In size of the body of the
flying creature. The Australian crane,
for instance. weighs over 800 times
more than the sparrow, but in proper
ton has only one-seventh the wing
area of the smaller bird.
This curious fact is equally striking
if we compare birds with insects. If
the gnat were increased in size until it
was as large as the Australian crane
and IL the wings of the insect were
enlarged to maintain the proportion
they now bear to its body they would
be about 100 times larger than the
cranes.
1t requires 1862 square feet of wing
area per pound to float the bank swal-
low, but to sustain the tawny vulture,
monstrous bird in comparison, re-
quires only GS of a square foot of
wing surface per pound of body. The
albatross, weighing eighteen pounds.
has spread of wing of eleven feet
six inches, while the trumpeter swan,
weighing twenty-eight pounds. has
spread Of wing of only eight feet. The
stork weighs eight times more than
the pigeon, but in proportion has only
half as much wing surface.-Every-
body's Magazine.

Of bathing and not of sitting on the

most elaborate of the costumes COM
