CURRENT COMMENT
A Rivalry To Be Encouraged.

The Vermont bank report like that
of New Hampshire, makes highly pros
porous showing; and a rivalry in thrift
with our over the river neighbors should
be encouraged. Monitor.

The little extra money

opposes the profit system and that the
liquor traffic creates more employers
with the greatest net profit to the EN-
ployer than does any other industry in
the world? The liquor interests of the
country are the bitterest enemies the
socialist movement has and l have my
first saloon man and rounder to meet
who favors political or any other kind
of freedom for women.
You will find that all people who op-
pose the prohibition and socialist move
ments also favor the white slave traf-
fic and wide open towns in general.
This being the case we find the allied
criminal element solidly organized
against all reform but the reformers
uisorgamzed with several little parties
in the field of politics which make a
clean walkaway for the stronger scien-
tifically organized gangs. think you
would do well to join forces with the
prohibitionists and make strong ap-
peal to the women voters that the vice
element of the land are fighting. Hoping
you will think this over and make your
fight from strong moral point of
view, l am yours respectfully.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR STATE
TREASURER.

Mrs. Minnie Z. Parks, nominated for
treasurer of the state of Washington
by the socialist party of the state, was
born in 1871, in the little village of Yer
ona Mills, New York. When II years
of age. the family emigrated to South
Dakota, long hard trip in those days,
and some years were spent in enduring
the hardships and deprivations and ac-
quiring the experiences of the pioneer
ing new and unknown country. She
took part in all of the activities of
farming life on the frontier. Flowing
with oxen, breaking colts, stacking
grain and all the other hard out-of door
work which usually falls to the lot Of
the men and boys, formed as large a
part of her course in the great univer-
sity of life as the supposedly less siren
uous occupations which are left by com
mon consent to her sex.
Limited as were her opportunities for
schooling, she managed to acquire suf-
ficient knowledge in that line to enable
her to successfully fill the position Of
country school teacher Later she re-
moved to Chicago, where she found EN-
ployment as commercial artist and ad-
ded much to her already varied expert
ences as a worker. About five years
ago she came to Seattle and has since
been active in the affairs of the party
there, also in other organizations of
the workers.
As a worker on the farm and in the
city she has had a typical working
class experience. She has suffered from
the lack of necessities and has been
compelled to see her children suffer,
when all about them was an abundance
of the good things of life, and she was
willing and anxious to be allowed to
perform any amount of labor in order
to obtain only a small portion of them.
She has a well grounded knowledge of
the economic cause OF such conditions,
which are the usual lot of the workers.
And she knows the absolute necessity of
thorough organization among the work
ers for the purpose of accomplishing
their economic freedom. She is in every
way well fitted to represent the work
ing class, and if elected will represent
that class alone and will be subject at
all times to the dictates OF the social
ist party.

Dear sir-Answering your favor, the
socialist program includes remedy for
all social evils. The profits system of
industry is the foundation stone of
both intemperance and white slavery.
Our party will consider no Joining of
forces" for any reform or petty gain.
Socialism is the force in politics today.
1t says that the wage labor system of
industry must go. You are not consist
ent in making SO great a cry against the
sale of liquor while consenting to the
sale of life. The bodies of men, women
and children are on the market under
your competitive wage system. Some
can not sell at all, others sell for less
than will buy their bread. How can
you destroy the liquor traffic or even
the white slave traffic-with the neces-
sites of men and women driving them
to hell and the cupidity of masters lur-
ing them on?
Nevertheless, our party is THE party
of temperance as it is the party of pur-
ity and peace. Our last national con-
vention passed a resolution calling upon
all municipal socialist administrations
to close the restricted districts. Social
ist Mayor Duncan of Butte, removed all
the dance halls and saloons from the re-
stricted district and otherwise so cut
down the revenues of the place that two
thirds of the residents therein moved
out. He also refused fines from fallen
women, with the result that big Busi-
ness" lost interest in the district as a
tax producing agency. Our party is
open. Come in. Fraternally yours,
ANNA A. MALEY.
