The New York World has the follow
ing to say anent Italian atrocities in
Tripoli:
Britain blew Sepoys from the can
mons mouth to blast their hopes of a
bodily resurrection. Kitchener violated
the Mahdi's tomb. English, Belgian,
Dutch, and French settlers and officials
vie in cruelty to African blacks whom
they have robbed of freedom. Germany's
costly conquest of the Heroes has been
married by barbarity. The Japanese
massacred Manchu troops at Port Ar
thur.
care our own skirts clear? In the
Philippines our 'water-cure' cruelties and
our Hell Roaring Jakes' giving orders to
kill all over ten years old showed us
faithless to the constitution and recre-
ant to democracy and the Declaration of
Independence.
''No man is good enough to rule an
other man without that other mans con-
sent. The same is true of nations. Con-
tempt of inferior races turns quickly to
cruelty when they seek by rude means

Ahmed Ria, the president of the Turk

Vandervelde, chairman of the interna-

'In the recent events Italy is not the
sole culprit The other powers are her
accomplices, as the blow that was struck

"This inconceivable attitude on the
part of Europe affects us just as much
as the loss of Tripoli, if we should lose
it. for it will engender mistrust, despair
and disgust in the east. 1t will not add
to faith in civilization, in promises, In

diction between word and deed consti-
tutes a breach of morals.
"The Young Turk party which has
been so Loyalty engaged in making the
people love Europe, adopt its ways OF

The bigot rabble cursed his name
And slew him, to their lasting shame.

Amendment TO the constitution of the
national socialist party of the United
Staes of America, proposed by Local
Tulnrc. state of California:
That neither the national socialist
party, or any state organization thereof,
shall require the subscription to any
newspaper or periodical, or the purchase
of stock in paper, as a condition of
being in good standing in the party
"This amendment shall take effect as
soon rs approved by referendum vote.
Comments: I'VE have a state paper
i'm California. and it works this way; In
order to be in good standing in California
a member must subscribe to the paper
and each local must buy stock in the
same The paper is organized under the
laws of the state of California, which
makes all of the property of all the
members of the party liable for the debts
Of the paper; thus placing the socialist
party of California under the control OF
capitalist courts. whenever the paper in
ours an indebtedness it cannot meet.
2-This state paper is under the abso-
lutte control of the state secretary and
the state executive committee who use
it to boost their scheme of fusion with
labor unionism, and who absolutely deny
members Of locals who oppose their views
any space in the paper. Any matter
which does not meet their views is simp-
ly ignored.
As it is now proposed that national
paper be started along these lines, we
earnestly call your attention to the
action of the national executive commit
tee on the matter of the party owned
paper of the California socialist party:
'Local Tulare, believing that this re-
quirement to purchase stock and sub
scribing to a paper to be unconstitu-
tional, some time ago passed resolu-
ton requesting a ruling of the national
executive committee on the matter. A
copy of the resolution was sent to the
national executive committee, but our re
quest was absolutely ignored No men
ton of it appeared in any report of their
meetings, although we know for a fact
that they received the resolutions.
"Now, comrades, we ask that you sec
ond this referendum, and when it is put
to vote, carry it, and thereby take the
power of boss rule away from a few
men in the socialist party.

Seattle.

Tho following is the platform of the
socialist candidates for the Seattle school
board
LIST. Enough school buildings to ac-
commodate all pupils. We are against
the present practice of using basement
rooms and cloak rooms for class rooms,
which were not constructed for and are
unsuited to use as such.
Assembly rooms in all school buildings
to be for the use of public meetings when
not otherwise required for school pur-
poses
Ample play grounds, bats and gym
nasiums.
End. We favor extending to teachers
the right to organize aud affiliate with
other organized workers as is now the
case in the city of Chicago, and we favor
the greatest possible freedom of express
sion on the part of teachers without
prejudice to the tenure of their posi-
tions.
3rd. Fewer pupils to each teacher and
more and better paid teachers. We favor
reducing the present eXtravagant salaries
of the superintendent and his assistants
and increasing the pay of the teachers
to enable them to meet the present day
conditions of living.
4th The tenure of teachers to he
permanent during efficiency and prefer
ence in employment to be given to local
applicants.
5th. Women teachers to be paid the
same as men.
9th. Better salaries for janitors and
other employees, and we demand that all
employees devote their time exclusively
to the work for which they are paid.
It'll. Compulsory attendance of pupils
of school age under 10.
9th Free meals and free clothing, II
needed, to keep children from the neces-
sity of working.
9th Night schools in each ward to
accommodate those deprived of early
education.
10th. Such a general administration
of the school system as will best serve
the interests of the working class.
18th. All construction and repair
work to be done by union labor and all
materials to be union made and all in
structors in manual training to be mem
bers of organized labor.
18th. We are opposed to the graft
created by the contract system on pub
lie work and favor day labor at union
wages and hours.
18th. We favor the employment in
every school attended by girls of quail
fled woman to act as school matron.
18th. We demand that pupils be in
structed in the principles and doctrines
of universal peace, that the boy scout
movement and all other forms of mill
tarism be discouraged.

defense challenging on this ground. Ac-
cording to the California code a man en-
Pertaining such scruples shall not be per-
mitted to serve. Judge Bordwell in de-
nying Darrow's right to challenge on
this specific ground ruled that it was
the states and not the defense's rights.
The prosecutions rights would, he de
cIared be interfered with by such a
juror.
barrow wants all such jurors elimi-
mated because the California code per

murder case and to fix the punishment
at Imprisonment for life. Darrow
thinks Jurors who are not favorable to
circumstantial evidence although they

cause they could convict and fix the
punishment at life imprisonment know
ING well that if a mistake was com
mitted and it should later come to light
the mistake could be rectified.
Because of this situation, barrow
argues. the state has a decided advant-
ace in this case. This brought about his
demand that the court should excuse all
men holding such prejudice.
