Comrade John Beard writes us from
Astoria, Oregon:
enclosed please find express order
for al to extend our subscription.
Have been somewhat slow, but pre-
sumo il is better to be late than not at
all. Have been moving (as usual) and
that has kept us both pretty busy, SO
that really haven't had much time.
az guess according to the papers
there is quite a socialist vote in Ore
gon, but the neck Of the woods / am
in. il doesn't show up very strong to
me. The discomfort is here alright,
and speakers and literature enough
would do the work, but that seems to
be all there is to il simply discomfort
and no education whatever along the
socialist lines.
ga man that writes and reads for
the company in an Office all day isnf
going to continue the same kind OF
exercise for himself after he gets
through. Ny experience is that office
workers are the hardest class in the
world TO reason with OF get them to
do any reading for themselves.
"The way it looks to me that people
learn their socialism is, they find some
thing that doesn't please them and
stu lying back to find out where the
trouble is, they finally get down to the
cause of IL and then know that much
on that point about socialism. Then
they find something else and study
back in the same old way and know
that. Finally they have found out
enough that they begin to suspect that
everything on the earth isn't just as
is should be and they begin telling
someone else what they know. Pretty
soon this interchange of knowledge
teaches them still more and they find
some one that begins trying to explain
socialism to them and they discover
that possibly they are somewhat Of a
socialist themselves. Well, this way
OF discovering what the socialist is
teaching is better than not discovering
IL at all, but IL is slow. OF course,
this kind Of study is caused by neces-
sity, and az 90 out of hundred
never study anything only from neces.

LEGISLATORS CLASS CONSCIOUS

II is not consonant with the social
ist position to ask favors Of legis-
lative body, elected by those who still
favor the retention of the capitalist
system, and for the purpose of car
rying out capitalist program. Those
men who are now sitting in the Mon
tana legislature would bc untrue to
the platforms ON which they were
elected, and the interests of those that
they represent, and their own imme-
diate interests il they did not pro-
ducc legislation in behalf II capital
istic enterprises. They are elected
upon programs inimicul 10 the working
class, and nothing else can be ex
pected of them. If few socialists
were in the legislature il would be
their Legitimate function % Introduce
measures, and do battle for them in
the interest of the working class, even
though IN hopeless minority, for they
would represent n vote and an nnu-
cnce that was backing them in their
efforts. We, the working class, ex-
pect nothing from capitalist lcgisla-
tors. They have other fish to fry. II
they give any legislation toward the
laborcrs it is merely 10 keep them
in good humor TO get their votes the
next time, There is nothing solid
about il, and il is carefully guarded
so as not to embarass capitalist opcr-
atoms.
The mission of the socialist is to
hold up these acts to the searchlight
Of the workers, that they may learn
their folly and insuficicncy aud learn
their own strength and possibilities.
Out Of nothing, nothing comes, aud
clear thinkers do not expect il.

More Praise for Chamber Of Commerce.

The Idaho Springs Gazette thinks the
Chamber of Commerce of Gilpin county
is just about the proper thing and has
frequently commended the enterprise
and push shown by the organization.
At one time Idaho Springs, too, had
Chamber of Commerce but it has been
so long since anything has been heard
from it, the body doubtless, is now ex-
tinct. The Clear Creek city needs some
kind of boosting organization badly
and should have one by all means. Here
is what the Gazette has to say of our
splendid Chamber of Commerce:
1.-THE strike situation in Central City
became acute yesterday and with the
energy which is conspicuous factor
in Central City's business management
a party was organized and went to
Golden and switched out twenty-five
cars of coal and supplies which the
train crew took up to the mountain
town. The sheriff was one of the party
but the striking switchmen in Golden
made no objection to handling the cars
when the urgency of the case was ex-
planned. The relief thus secured will
tide the district over for several days
and practically eliminates the danger of
a general shut down. Two cars of coal
for the Old Town were secured SO that
the shaft of that mine will not fill up
with water,
"While Idaho Springs is suffering
nothing as yet, the action of the busi-
ness men of Central is forcible exam
pie of the value of unity and an aggres-
sive policy to community. Mr.. Percy
Alsdorf, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, organized the expedition. :"

Forest Animals, Bio Ears.

Within the limits of particular
groups large ears may be taken. as a
rule. to indicate either great powers
Of hearing or the necessity of catching
every wave sound. Thus. forest.dwell.
ing animals generally have larger. and
especially broader. ears than their rel.
atives inhabiting open country.
An excellent instance of this is af.
forded by the okapi Of the Semliki for.

the more open districts OF Africa-the
ears In the one case being excessively
broad and leaflike: in the other they
are comparatively narrow and pointed

new RULER.
SIR ELDoN eoRsT, BRITISH CON.
SUI IN NILE COUNTRY.
Succeeds Lord cromer, Who Held the
Post for Twenty Years-A Con-
servative, But Was Appointed
by Liberal Government.

London.-As the successor of Lord
Cromer, the man who, for 20 years,
has been the real ruler of Egypt,
though nominally merely the British
consul general there, Sir Eldon Gorst
has most difficult post to fill. Lord
Cromer has been fittingly described
as 'the maker of modern Egypt" He
found her almost ruined, her people
desperate with suffering. her very eX-
istence in peril from the Dervishes;
he leaves her in splendid prosperity,
her population increasing in numbers
and happiness, her finances estab-
lished on firm basis, her taxes light
ened, her people freed from the tyran-
nies that so long oppressed them. To
maintain such huge standard of
achievement and carry forward the
work of Egyptian regeneration de-
mands statesman of the highest
caliber.
Sir Eldon Gorst does not lack ad
mirers who declare that he will prove
the right man in the right place. He
is the eldest son of remarkably able
man, Sir John Eldon Gorst. who is
still living. He was named after his
father long before, of course, it was
known that he had inherited his fa
theirs brains. When his ability
brought him knighthood he dropped
his first name that there might not be

two Sir Johns in the family. But in
Egypt everybody still speaks of him
as johnnie" Gorst. He went there
when 26 as an attache, and rose rap
idly through the diplomatic grades.
Great administrative talents and con-
spicuous social gifts commended him
to Lord Cromer. and within an extraor-
dinarily short time he had become un-
der secretary to the ministry of
finance, and again adviser to the min
istry of the interior. Adviser" in Egypt
is euphemism for the British official
who is really the boss, but nominally
the subordinate of the minister at the
head of a department. He was finan-
cial adviser to the Egyptian govern
ment when, in 1908, he was summoned
to London to assist the foreign Office
in the negotiations which resulted in
the Anglo-French agreement that so
largely contributed to giving England
a free hand in Egypt. His services
were rewarded by giving him one of
the most responsible positions in the
permanent civil service. that of under
secretary of state for foreign affairs.
His selection as Lord Cromer's sue
cessor affords a significant illustration
of the difference between English and
American methods in making appoint
ments of great responsibility and pow
er. 1t was under Conservative gov
ernment that Sir Eldon won distinc-
ton and presumably he is Conserva-
tive Yet it is a Liberal government
=, H.
Egypt. The question of his politics is
not taken into consideration. He Is
chosen for the task because he seems
the man best fitted to fill the position.
Sir Eldon knows all the ropes in
Egypt. is personally acquainted with
everybody who counts there and
speaks Arabic and the native dialects
fluently. Lord Cromer has wrought
marvellous work in Egypt. 1t may
be doubted whether any single states.
man has ever accomplished more
striking results in any country. But
it is his very success that renders
all the more necessary, perhaps, new
and younger head to deal with the
new conditions that result from that
success. For Lord Cromer has created
nation--a nation which naturally
wants to largely run itself. With
these aspirations Lord Cromer has no
sympathy. His ideal OF Egyptian rule
Is that OF benign dictator. England
is pledged not to reduce Egypt per-
manently to the condition of protect
ed Indian state. Sooner or later be-
ginning must be made with the work
OF teaching Egypt to rule itself. 1t Is
expected that Sir Eldon's administra-
ton will take the direction Of paving
the way for some form Of constitu.
tional government. 1t Is most difi.
cult task requiring the utmost tact,
firmness and judgment. Nothing
would be more fatal than undue haste.
Sir Eldon Is 46. He has time in
which to make for himself a name
that will rival that of Lord Cromer.
But should he succeed in setting
Egypt on its own legs he will be ex.
posed to the most scathing fire Of
hostile criticism while doing 1t. For
many in England who most loudly
proclaim their patriotism believe that
It is only white races which are fitted
Tor any measure Of self-government.
