all reverence. A band and several
American flags preceded the cortege.
Both foreigners and Americans tes-
titled at the inquest. The former,
all speaking through Interpreters,
declared the state policemen had be-
gun the firing without proyocation.
Some went so far as to say that
superintendent Keiser fired first All
the Americans agreed, however, that
the state men did not shoot at the
mob until after they had first warn
ed its members, then fired into the
ground and then again into the air.

OH, THIS CHRISTMAS!

Oh, this holy Christmas season"
When we Christians stoutly claim
To honor the birth of the Lord of Love
To celebrate His Name!
He taught us love aid service
To "our neighbor" far and near;
We keep the day by giving gifts
To those we hold most dear.
!:
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self,
This is the Law indeed;
We obey it by giving our children
Heaped toys that they do not need.
He taught us the love that is service,
The love that has care for all;
And we, as before, go on loving
Our families close and small.
The birds and the beasts do that
much;
All animals love their young,
And some of them love their neigh
bors
That they work for, with, among.
But we who prey on our neighbors,
Less Christian than ant or bee,
Have no right to the name of Christ
mas
For domestic revelry.

THE NEW BATTLE.
BY Arthur Brooks Baker.

Post-election gloom, should any of
it be discovered among the socialists,
can be traced to one of two causes;
either the gloomy ones have failed to
understand that the prime mission
of the socialist party just now is to
educate the people, or they have
been self-hypnotized into believing
that we are coming into a great tri-
umph at the polls.
The socialist who understands
things did not entertain moments
gloom over the recent election; and
for the gloomy ones the very best
course of treatment is to get right
back into action and go to boosting
the propaganda.
It is at this juncture that the Ly-
ceum proves it's value. 1t is a rally
ing point for the new battle. The adj
vance organizers are holding hun
dreds of meetings. The advertising
department will cause the distribu
ton of millions of leaflets. The Local
comrades will sell thousands of dol
lars worth of books and subscriptions
The touring of the lecturers vii
evoke hundreds of columns OF inter
views, reports and comments from the
newspapers.
The fighting is not over 1t has
hardly begun. Those of us who are
in good health are going to live tt
see one of the liveliest political scrlm
ages that ever decorated this plane
with loose hair and feathers. AM
when it comes to handing capitalist
the merry cooperative punch in tn
liver, the Lyceum has proved mos
effective weapon with all the local
which have grasped it firmly AM
welded it vigorously.
Gloom simply can't stay aroun
where the Lyceum is in action.
The Commonwealth. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1911-1914, 1912-12-13

Men do not put their best efforts
into their work today. They know
that no matter how efficient they be-
come, but a small part of their in
creased efficiency will benefit them
selves. The greater part will go to
the masters of their daily bread
Moreover, the workers realize that
under the present competitive form
of industry increased efficiency on
the part of a man or a machine re-
suits merely in throwing greater num-
bers of their fellow workers out of a
job. Under a cooperative or social
list form of industry, increased eff
cieny would result in shorter hours
of labor and greater benefits to all
But we have not socialism.
In other words, under the present
competitive system, there is no in
centVe for efficiency. Lack of in
centve is an overworked phrase
with critics like to apply to social
ism 1t applies more justly to the
preIent capitalist system.
Under the present capitalist form
of industry, let us say that a worker
mikes daily the equivalent of five
pairs of shoes. He gets paid in wages
50 If he is lucky. But the shoes are
wrth $40 in the factory. The con-
slner that finally wears the shoes
vii probably have to pay 81 or SIS
fG them, but we will not go that far.
! The worker with his So in wages
On buy back and consume only$2
Vorth of commodities. That is all
Dat his wages will pay for. This
saves So worth of wealth in whatever
he form may be, for the capitalist,
But the capitalist has only one pair of
feet and in numbers he is moreover
comparatively few. He has only one
body to clothe, one stomach to feed.
The latter it is true, often appears in
fortunately large. But even with his
efforts the capitalist as a class can
not consume all the wealth that is
created for by labor. Labor could
consume its own product but is not
allowed to, because the wages of
labor permit it to buy back only a
fraction of its own product.
So We have what is known to econ
omists as the "unconsumed surplus. "
Each year all the countries of the
world that are, by some perversion OF
speech, called civilized" produce in
various forms of wealth more than
they consume.
And it is TO get rid of this uncon-
sumed surplus that we waste our lives
in foolish elaboration that Mr.. Bran
deis deplores II is for this worthy
object that the leaders" at New Port
must have gold-stemmed cocktail
glasses one season and jewel studded

HOW LONG, OH GRANDPA!

How long, oh Grandpa, must grow
ing age
Be stultified and paralyzed by you?
You most mistaken, ignorant old sage,
Who so profoundly, abjectly believed
All the dark doctrines you in youth
received,
And passed them on-as true!
Have we no brains? New minds, new
furnished, strong,
To see life for ourselves and learn its
laws?
The things you used to think are
mostly wrong;
We must think freshly, building as
we go
Our new beliefs on proven truths we
know,
Not on your ancient saws!
Because of you the young mind of to-
day
Is a dark place where lies and follies
throng;
Old lies, old follies, long since thrown
away
But for our foolish reverence for
buried brain,
The dead hand holding all the world
in chain
How long, Old Man, how long?

ject of Efficiency He regrets thi
there is so little of it used in presel
day life and industry. We waste on

and in the following of foolish chan
ing fashions. Our industries are co
Quoted in a slack wasteful mannc
Men do not put their best efforts

AS A BUSINESS.

DO men love the Painted Lady
With her well used working smile,
With the beauty worn for profit,
With the scarcely covered guile?
Can the game she works so often
Heart or blood of manhood stir?
She who takes loves as a business
DO men really care for her?
And we women, grossly flattered,
DO we like the practised hand,
Using compliments as weapons,
With the skill of long command?
Gifts for bait, the hook scarce hidden
Praise for every mood and whim;
He who makes love as a business
DO we really care for him?
