SOCIALISTS STIR
OLD PARTIES
TO ACTION
COMBINATIONS ARE MADE TO
Defeat the Socialist Majority on
County Board in Milwaukee.
Wisconsin.

As the Milwaukee Social Democrats
grow more formidable, the Milwaukee
republicans and democrats are becom-
ing more friendly to each other. The
two old parties are coming to an
understanding that they must work to-
gether if they hope to defeat the
growth of socialism. Says the Mil
waukee Sentinel (republican); "It is
understood that the six republican and
four democrats members of the new
county board have tacitly agreed to
get together on all propositions re-
lating to the welfare of their re-
spective parties and by this means de-
feat the Social Democratic members Of
the board. The Social Democrats are
six in number. This would indicate a
sufficient majority to carry before il
most propositions in which a split be-
tween republicans and democrats might.
result. In consequence thereof the
two older parties have agreed on o
friendly understanding, the republicans
to throw their influence toward demo-
cratic measures in return for demo
cratic support on republican measures.
This arrangement is understood to,
have been made quietly without the
intervention of a caucus" Further.
comment is unnecessary. The anti
Socialist party-the capitalist party
is beginning to shape itself
The meeting of the Civic societies Of
Molwaukee last Tuesday turned out to
be lively occasion. The capitalistie
interests have been trying to use these
civic federations as a means for propa-
eating their reaetionary schemes, but
they are not meeting with great sue
cess. The Social Democrats were ON
hand last Sunday, and gave some en-
Tightening statements on municipal
ownership, the referendum and initia-
tion and kindred subjects. A resolu-
tion was proposed that a committee Of
five be appointed to represent the civic
declarations at the approaching Nil
waukee charter convention and use
their influence to have the initiation
and referendum incorporated in the
new charter This resolution was op-
posed by the eapitalistic elements.
After long and interesting discussion
the resolution was laid over till the
next meeting, and Socialist Berger.
Thompson and Gaylord were invited to
attend and speak on the initiation,
referendum and recall. Thus the OPEN
minded portion of the public is strong
ly inclined to investigate the principles
and tactics of the Social Democracy.
The Italians are coming our way in
Milwaukee. They have started
Social-Demoeratie organization and are
proceeding to make good earnest
propaganda in Roses pet ward, the
"Bloody Third" The Italian priests
are bitterly opposing the spread of
socialism. On election day the brother
of one of these priests severely kicked
and seriously injured one of the
Italian comrades who was peaeeably
explaining the principles of socialism.
But this violent persecution is only
stirring up the comrades to greater
activity.

The Free Lance"
Adopts New Tactics
Is Trying to Flim-Flam Billings Out of
State Federation Convention
Object Is Plain.

IL quotes the total fares at s1s00.0O
to Billings when in reality they would
only be two-thirds of that.
The Free (O Lance" says there
are no unions affiliated with the State
Federation within 236 miles of Billings.
There are two affiliated unions at
Miles City; at Red Lodge, only so
miles away, the Miners union is 700
strong-not a non-union miner in the
camp. Bear Creek has two unions;
there are unions at Bridger and Gebo.
Livingston, 125 miles away, is the
best organized town in the Northwest,
with the most militant organizations.
Sixty miles to the north is Roundup,
where a big coal camp has formed
all organized.
The Truthful James on the Glance"
says the necessary referendum 10 make
the change would only cost $1,000. 1t
wouldn't pay for the printing-to say
nothing Of postage, envelopes and Sec
retary's time.
Billings was chosen as the seat of
the next convention because il was the
great Citizens Alliance town of east
ern Montana.
What the motive for the change
Why this sudden burning anxiety to
make Butte the center of labor opera.
tions There is just one tenable rea-
son: The purpose is to get this con-
vention of Montana's laboring men to
endorse the great religious weekly, the
would-be moulder of working class
ideas, the "Free (f) (democratic)
Lance" and capture the convention for
the Amalgamated and the democratic
party, la Heinze.
See you mules Got that through
your skull :
The move is already serving to make
the unions Of eastern Montana hostile
at Butte. Nice thing to do when thes,
unions have just spent $4,000 fighting
injunction cases for these "Fres
Lancet luminaries. So raw is this
decoy work that a blind man can sc,
that there is a niger in the woodpils
somewhere.
There is no cause for any change oil
referendum. Billings and the territory
surrounding il need the convention. II
has been the policy of the State Fed
Grafton TO hold its conventions al
points outside Butte in order to beget
solidarity of the entire working class
of Montana. Butte does not need edu
eating. IL is the "Gibraltar Of union
ism in the Northwest.
Organized labor Of Butte needs tn,
outlying state brought into line tC
fortify il in ease Of need. This is Of
eminently more Importance to the
working class of Montana than going
on junketing tour to Butte to deliver
organized labor soul and body into the
hands of the Amalgamated company
its democratic party and its injunc
tions.
A word TO the wise is sufficient.

An Uncompromising Atheist.

John Riley Lewis was an uncompro-
missing atheist. He believed that ma
ture was all; that there is nothing
above, or beyond, or outside Of nature.
He saw clearly the fatal antagonism
between the two systems Of thought,
and he put aside theism, accepting the
doctrine of the schools. Though he
was not an academician, and though
he may not have been, in the broadest
sense, a trained thinker, yet his mind,
accustomed TO analysis, was quick to
perceive all improbability and all alb
surdity.
He dared TO reason with the daring
OF Daniel. For him reason was the
only oracle OF man. For him reason
was TO be hkened. unto that Pharos
light, blazing afar, Illuminating the
pathway OF truth, and leading ever and
always to n higher plane.

Reason taught him that there are no
miracles, that there never was a mir
acie; because a miracle is a contra
diction Of terms; because the east is
not, and cannot be the west; because
harmony is not and cannot be diseord;
because two and two are four, and are
not, and cannot be, four hundred; be-
cause the words truth and falsehood
never were, and will never be syn

have had scant patience with one who
would endeavor TO explain a miracle,
thus foolishly destroying it, or making
it simply a phenomenon, produced in

Of cause and effect. He denied all
miracles, and standing with him are
Darwin and Huxley and Spencer and
