BELEINGHAM.

The North Side local has received
a fine collection of books from the
various publishers of socialist litera-
ture, and our stock is larger now and
more complete than at any time
since the organization of the local.
The combined locals have decided
to handle the national Lyceum course
of five lectures. At this writing up
ward of 200 tickets have been placed
for sale in the hands of party mem
bers.
1t may not be generally known that
Bellingham is the largest city of the
state where reformers have not as
yet succeeded in introducing the
commission form of government or
some other "non-partisan" arrange
ment. Three years ago an effort was
made to hog-tie the town in short bal
lot style, but somehow the knot
slipped on the final roundup at the
polls. Therefore, many a complac-
Tuesday when two of our comrades
were elected to the city council. Elec-
lions occurred in three of the six
wards, and with the exception of the
Fourth ward the contest was confined
to a socialist and a republican. Re-
calling the experience of Everett in
,,,,++irr ovor +broa cooioIict nO11n ri l.
men, it may be predicted with GER
tainty that Bellingham' will soon be-
come a battle ground of good govern
ment talk and non-partisan nonsense.
David Goldstein bitterly opposed So
cialism in a speech here recently,
having been advertised as lecturing
under the auspices of the Knights of
Columbus. BY frequent reference to
socialist books he aroused the SUM
boring curiosity of his audience, and
as a result many strangers have come
to our Sunday meetings "to get lit,
tie reading matter that is different.
The socialist vote of the state is
1910 per CtlL VI TIC JOAtll' LAp WV
in Whatcom county in 1877 per cent
of it's total. A few counties doubtless
exceed the percentage of Whatcom
county-a few, but not many. ut is
a fact recognized by scientific men
that 10 per cent of the people, if suf.
ficiently aroused, can overcome the
inertia of the other 90 per cent" says
the Milwaukee Leader. Washington
now has the needed 10 per cent in
full measure, and it would seem the
immediate work of the party to
arouse these voters so effectively
that they will see the necessity OF
joining the organized movement and
taking their stand with us in estab
fishing the new order of socialism.

THE ANACoRTEs ELECTION

December Il.
Editor Commonwealth,
Dear Comradc:--
enclose herewith official returns
of city election of Anacortes, resulting
In the election OF one socialist Com.
rade Gust Dobers, councilman of the
second ward The returns show the
inevitable fact that the workers are
waking up to their interests as a class,
as the second ward is whore the shin
gle mills are located and most of the
people are workers, I'm fact the ma
iority of the people of Anacortes are
working people up to their eyebrows
am sorry to say that the most of
them are stll thinking capitalistic
thoughts. Our opponents were the
"wets" and the supposedly "drys"
were defeated in the primaries. The
so-oalled good christian people stayed
at home. Out of some fifteen or six
teen hundred registered voters, nine
hundred and thirty-four voted,
Most of the voters are stepped in
bourgeoise preiudise, fettered by
bourgeois habits of thinking and feel
ing with their brains shackled and an
easy prey TO capitalism. We socialists
know that the constant grind of the
industrial hell of capitalism upon the
workers will finally wake up the dor
mant cells of their brain and when
they show signs of life, we will be on
hand with our literature and start
them on the right road to liberty and
happiness.
The battle is over for the time be-
ing for the politicians, but with the
socialists the fight has only begun.
Comrades, what do these reports of
socialist gains all over the country
sound like to you? As for me, hear
the steady beat of the worlSman's
hammer forging the keys to unlock
themselves to industrial freedom and
in the distant echoes I seem to hear
them forging the chains that will
blind Satan a thousand years"
Yours for a united working class,

SAFE ON DIAGNOSIS

IF the doctor tells you that you are
and have been suffering from cancer
OF the stomach for six or eight years
and then proceeds to treat you by
pumping out your stomach five or six
times as preliminary to an operation
and you later discover that the all
ment is in another part of the body
and escape the operation, you can.
not be compelled TO pay for the
treatments based on the mistaken
diagnosis.

EDITOR COMMONWEALTH,
COMRADE:-


EDITOR COMMONWEALTH,
COMRADE:-
Just few lines to let the comrades
know how things are progressing in
Lewis county. There is considerable
activity among the locals throughout
the county quite a number Of new
members are being admitted, new
locals have been organized at: otter
Greek and Burnt Ridge. At Pc Ell,
Dryad, Kosmos, Morton, Independ-
ence and Hanaford Valley we are
working to establish locals with an
almost certainty of success. Toledo
has recognized, thanks to the aotivi-
ty of Ethel local, which by the way is
one of the most progressive and ag-
gressive locals in the state.
Winlook, Chehalis and Centralia
are taking the National Lyceum
Course. Ethel, Toledo, Litell, Cheha-
lis and Centralia have had, or will
have the Livermore lecture.
Centralia fired the opening gun of
the 1916 vampaign on December 2.
with Anna Maley as speaker, and as
evidence of the trend of public inter.
est in this section, will state, at this
meeting we had a larger crowd than
at the most pretentious meetings of
the Reprobates, Bull Moosers or
Scrats in their desperate attempts to
soft soap the people prior to the cleo
ton.
On the 10Th of December, at 10 a.
m, the socialists of Lewis county will
meet in the socialist hall at Centralia,
to perfect county organization
Centralia local will hold smoker
on the evening, Saturday, December
%. Comrades intending to come to
the convention are urged to come a
day in advance and attend this
smoker.
The 18th of December, marks a
milestone in the progress of Cent
ralia local, for on that day, nine wo-
men comrades, met and without be-
ing urged and prompted, elected their
chairman and secretary, AMI laid out
an extensive program, looking to
the upbuilding of Centralia local. l
have always held, that the day when
the women comrades first took active
part in work of socialist local, would
mark the hour when that fortunate
local would enter upon a life of ex-
IRENE usefulness, that, barring the
unforeseen, would stop nothing short
of the cooperative commonwealth.
January 1 will see the birth of the
Lewis County Clarion" the first
strictly party-owned paper in the state
of Washington.
In conclusion, will say we have ap-
propriated the motto of Chicago, st
WILL" and remodeled the slogan of
Tacoma, to watch Socialism Grow"

County secretary.

Choice Of Two Dromios.

They give me cnOlce OIL TWO uro-
MICS, two gold dust twins and have
the effrontery to tell me that l am
offending God and insulting my re-
ligion by refusing to make a stupid
and stultifying choice.
If 1 demonstrate with them for their
lack of practical sympathy with the
aspirations of the working class they
recite the obvious-they tell me that
the church is the historic friend of
the workers.
MY history tells me this. What l
want is to escape now. I am not an
ancestor worshiper. / am looking for
a way out. I want something new.
My spiritual superiors have it con-
veniently waiting for me. 1t is made
of such stuff as dreams are made of;
it resembles a mirage and has the
substance of rainbow but, never
theless, they have it for me. Here it
is: "a fair days pay for fair days
work"
This must be the last full measure
Of social justice for me. This must
be my political omega-my economic
revelations This is the finale, the
finis Curtain!
If such an ideal of social justice
were practicable, with labor enjoy
ing the status of a commodity, does
any level-headed Catholic workingman
believe that the republican or demo-
cratic parties would bring in into be-
ing? These are the only vehicles the
clergy have left us on which to ride
into our capitalistic Utopia.
To bring about such an ideal con-
dition is manifestly an economic and
legislative task. 1t is folly to assume
that a Sunday sermon preached to
capitalists can bring about the least
measure of relief for workingmen.
If capitalists were amendable to NOR
al suasion this old earth would have
been a paradise long, long ago. Rul-
ing classes have been preached by the
clergymen of all denominations since
the lust for gold and power first
seized with it's british power the hui
man heart and mind.
One fact is patent. Our political
and industrial problems are not going
to be solved by prayer, or masses, or
pious devotions, or retreats. Whether
the Catholic church solves these prob
lens or the socialist party solves them
they must be solved by action.
At the present moment, what are
the hierarchy, the clergy and the
societies of the church doing to bring
about their ideal of social justice.
"a fair days pay for fair days
work." Nothing!
On the other hand, socialists be
lieve that the people ought to own
the trusts and get all they produce.
What are the socialists doing at the
/ present to bring about their ideal?
Everything!

The Church
and Socialism

There are socialists who do not know
their socialism, just as there are
Catholics who do not know their
catechsm
one of the most exasperating claims
of the Catholic clergy is that they do
not enter politics; that they are non
partisan. The "reminiscences of the
opposition to socialism proves" this.
However, Notwithstanding the vigor
of their onslaughts the church as yet,
has not officially declared socialism
to be a matter of faith or morals. The
pope has not condemned it ex cathe-
dra. How could he?
What can a Catholic who under
stands and is sympathetic toward
socialism think of these hedging tao
tics.
The only conclusion one can reach is
that the officials of the church are
simply functioning as police for the
capitalists.
If socialism is as fruitful of error
as they say It is, why don't they con-
denim it officially? Every well-in-
formed Catholic knows that such a
condemnation is the only sort that is
binding. I am a socialist and a Catho,
lie, and l should like to know defin-
itely where I stand.
l question the right of the Catholic
hierarchy to force upon me the alter
native of supporting the republican
or democrat parties when my con-
science, my intelligence and the very
handspring of my well being-my
economic nterests-scream to me
that they are both rotten to the core
My priests would leave me a poll
teal derelict without party, without
principles, without hope of social sal
walton for me and mine because I be-
lieve that the people ought to own
the trusts.
