EntaneIements FoIIew Death

1ne nOurS OF anguish leading up 10
that final day. when in the silence and
solitude of her own apartment she
drank the fatal poison, can never be
guessed That was the beginning of
the end-the end for her, the beginning
of the end for her husband. She had
been as a mainstay for the spend
thrift Sybarite-a prop, holding him,
however slightly, up from the abyss.
And with the death of the wife came
the quick entanglement leading to his
own rash act. There was no longer the
feeble restraint of wife's entreaties,
and there was no longer an excuse Tor
his existence. He seemed to forget
everything. His obligations to society,
morally; his obligations to his friends.
financially; his duty to himself, and TO
his family, became as nothing; and in
this state of mind he committed tho
last desperate follies of his life.
His friends maintain that through 1t
all there was a vein of madness. In
sanity is the one excuse which mercifui
friends can offer in mitigation of his
wild career. Perhaps, after all, II may
be reasonably attributed to all such
criminals; for surely there is BRAIN
tally involved in such wanton lives.
His must have been, indeed, a mental
maelstrom, whatever method filumed
his madness. At least it is the theory
offered by few friends, who in pity
tell of his better days, when he was
ambitious, proud and steadfast IN his
morals.
Draw Curtain of Charity
Some of the old pride must have
clung to him, for even to the last there
were those who believed that his pecu-
lations were mere mistakes" that
there was some misunderstanding; and
not q few, who knew him only In So
ciety circles, speak of him yet as a man
of exemplary habits, sedate and yet

is said, she invariably made good the
debts he contracted or the money
which had to be paid on bogus checks.
She lied for him, even to the extent of
acknowledging in court the genuine
ness of a forged signature purported
by her husband to be her own. Thus
it went along, to the climax. There
came the time when too many ac-
countings were imminent; a time when
the end could no longer be averted;
when the truth must be revealed, dis
grace encountered, humiliation en-
dured.
And to the proud wife of this New
England voluptuary these things were
impossible. Rather death than dis
grace rather the grave than humilia-
ton. There was no hope left to which
she could yet cling; there was no faith
in her prayers, no light in the long,
dark years now before her. Despair.
misery, the realization that no power
on earth could save them from dis
honor-prodded her on to the fatal
deed.

It would seem now that there
is nothing left undone that NOR

CHALLENGE

In his speech at the Workers Club
on March 10th Bishop Carroll spoke
of socialism as being inimical to the
welfare of the human race and a dan
ger to society. Believing this, it is
his duty as a teacher and a patriot
to embrace every opportunity to ex.
pose the fallacies of socialism and com
bat il with all the means at his com
mand.
John G. Chase, one of the National
organizers of the Socialist Party, will
shortly be in Montana and we invite
Bishop Carroll to meet him in joint de-
bate on the question "Is Socialism
Inimical to the Welfare of Society" /"
A meeting can be arranged in any town
in the state TO suit the bishop ana the
expense of the meeting will be paid
by the socialist party.
We welcome free discussion. Will
the Bishop do the samei

FOUGHT FOR SCAB

This same Citizens Alliance Mayor
in the telephone strike, ordered the
policemen on top Of the hacks to es-
eort the ssabs home.
Chef of Police Flannery and Ser
geant Bailey threatened to arrest the
striking girls for doing picket duty,
under the instructions of the mayor.
One girl happened to say to another,
"Don't that scab look prettyi''
when Sergeant Bailey said to her,
"You say that again and III put you
in Jail"
Yes, of coursce, the workers ought
to support the Lindsay gang. They
ought to lick more dirt because they
havn't got enough in the past two
years.

Another city campaign is upon the
workers of Helena. Again will they
be called upon to use that ballot for
which the European working class are
60 ardently striving and which the
American working man uses as the
child does toy with no idea of how 1t
could be used to benefit him and his
class.
The socialists have a ticket in the
field. 1t is the only ticket manned and
engineered by the working class.
The Citizens Alliance will have
their usual ticket in the field, and
doubtless the Helena working class will
again degrade themselves by putting
q Citizens Alliance man in an admin
istative position to govern them and
their destinies.
They must be taught to think about
what power is in their ballot and how
they ought to use it. They must be
taught 10 think what issues are up,
and how as selfrespecting working
men they ought to vote.

INSULT TO LABOR

Such line Of persuation is an in
suit to the working class. They who
do the worlds work and make civil.
zation possible must forsooth be CRATE
full that they are given a chance to
slave for other people.
But even so, let the Citizens ALI
anee Mayor show how the republican
party has given work to the working
men Of Helena. Any man in his senses
who knows anything about our system
of production knows that no man hires
any man unless he can make profit of
his labor, republican party or no re-
publican party And instead of Lind
says administration giving the men
work, his henehmen have shot down
the unemployed in cold blood, and he
has done everything in his power to
organize the Citizens Alliance tc
break up the unions and establish a
scab town in Helena.
Yes, Of course, the Helena working
dupes ought to vote his graft in again

Indignant NO.

RED LODGE ELECTIONS

At Red Lodge the two old parties
have fused against the socialists. The
state eight-hour law is being violated
by the city administration and the po.
lice are compelled to work twelve
hours. The mayor and socialists in the
council are making a fight on the il
legal hours, but the fusion aldermen
vote them swn. The mayor appealed
to the city attorney for legal advice,
and the attorney refused to give 1t.
If the socialists had one more alder
man in the council there would be a
tie and the mayor would have the de-
Gliding vote.
Mayor Austin threatens to put the
police on an eight-hour day irrespee.
tive of the council. Whereupon the
fusion council threatens to reduce the
wages proportionately to the hours,
The city is subject to a damage suit
for violation of the state law, and il
is the old parties that are the law
breakers.
This springs elections should mean
much to the working class.

CITY WATER QUESTION

Over year ago Helena through a
referendum to the people voted bonds
to establish a city water plant at a
special election. The proposition was
carried by an overwhelming majority,
and the city administration had author
ity to establish a city water plant and
stop the tremendous graft that the
present company is working on the
helpless citizens.
The water company fought the case
most bitterly through the Independent,
and spent much money in writing
against it and in putting out circulars.
The Citizens Alliance also fought
the proposition. 1t was the business
men standing solid together to protect
the enormous profits Of their class.
All the wards where the workers
lived voted almost unanimously for
city water. The working class in Hell

CAN'T SELL BONDS

The capitalists claim that the city
ipal water plant in Helena, that no
town with a socialist administration
or where the sentiment is known to be
largely socialist can sell its bonds.
Butte with all its indebtedness has
had socialists on the council for six
years, and its bonds are greedily grab
bed up by the capitalists.
Livingston has had socialists on its
council for a number Of years. 1t has
the most militant socialist organization
in the state and the most aggressive
labor unions in the northwest. Yet,
its bonds are grabbed up greedily at a
large premium by the capitalists.
Red Lodge has socialist mayor, a
police magistrate and two socialists in
council of six. Yet, its bonds sell
at large premium.
Milwaukee, where the democrats and
republicans fuse against the socialists,
and where there are over 40 socialists
in Office, with organized labor solidly
supporting the socialist ticket, finds its
bonds are at a premium.
Helena, at one time the home of
more millionaires than any other town
in tic world, one Of the richest in the
Rocky Mountain region, the home of
the Citizens Alliance of Montana,
where organized labor and the social
list party are the weakest in the state,
has nobody but capitalists and CAPT
talist fiunkeys in its town council, and
yet il cannot sell its bonds.
Even the capitalists respect the ad-
ministrative ability of the working
class when they are in office. The
working class are not weak in admin
istration. They are only weak in us
! ing the capitalist weapon of the polit'
ical machine. They do not know as
yet how to handle and man their party,
how to line up on a class ballot, how
] to quit voting and working for the
party and the system which oppresses
them and turn the power of a vote
into a power to establish working class
control of every community.
