PIONEER IN SOCIALISM
Mrs. Samantha n. Merrlfield Was
Native of Londonderry

Mrs. Samantha H. Merriheld, labor
and Socialist pioneer, who died in
Roxbury. Mass, December %, was
born in Londonderry, W., on October
%, 1894 OF New England stock, reach
ing back to and beyond Revolutions
airy times Her maternal grandfath-
er, whose name was Reed, was a
soldier in the Revolutionary war Her
father was at first prosperous but
then lost his property, so that while
still a young woman she went TO Low
ell to work in the mills. She was
married in Boston to Charles H. Mer-
riield and after her husbands death,
through an accident not many years
later, she returned to the Lowell
mills.
This early experience opened her
eyes to the condition of the working
class and decided the bent of her life.
With two young daughters to support
and bring up, and with no one to aid
her, she faced the world in Boston
where she was to remain the rest of
her life From that time on she kept
a rooming house always earning her
own living even while she was in the
thick of the labor battle, and con
stantly making public addresses.
1t was in the middle eighties that
the most active portion of her public
career began. She joined the
Knights of Labor and acquired great
influence in that organization in
Massachusetts. She worked with the
trade unions and identified herself
with every radical social movement
in its beginning Yet it was in SOC
ialsm, when it took organized form,
that she found her true mission and
did her greatest work She was a
member of the Socialist labor party,
and one of the Boston Nationalist
clubs founded under the influence of
Edward Bellamy and later joined the
present Socialist party, one of whose
candidates for school committee she
was for several years.
She was absolutely fearless and
her whole soul was in the cause for
which she worked, with no thought
Of personal ambition. Every cause
which she took up was at the lowest
ebb of unpopularity, when she cham
pioned it, Her speeches for social
ism which were delivered in every
part of New England and which apart
from their moral purpose were pow
erful efforts OF oratory, commanded
respect and won belief because of
her intense conviction

MARTIN DIES HIMSELF AGAIN
Moved by Unexpected Popularity Not
to Reinquish Craftsmanship.

: Washington, Jan. THE mercur-
ial quality of public opinion in some
parts of the country, if not in all, is
sharply defined now and then in the
personal fortunes of our public men.
Martin Dies, Democratic member OF
Congress from the Beaumont District
of Texas, is an illustration in point.
He is a young member, this being his
second term The effect of life in
Washington, added to a somewhat &c
centric disposition, estranged him not
q little from his party colleagues a
year ago, when the Committee on
Committees was the issue of the hour
with Democrats.
MIR. Dies, whose name, by the way,
is pronounced like the third person
singlar of the verb and not like the
Latin for day, in the first caucus OF
the session delivered fierce polemic
on party control and declared him
self entirely outside the party
breastwOrks as TO organization.
/ But worse was in store for the
Texas member. 1t was discovered
that he was living in Mount Rainier,
a surburb of Washington, under an
assumed name and had married his
sienographer, the marriage having
been preceded by two divorces in
two families. This discovery injured
Mr.. Dies with his constituents, and
he openly declared that he would not
be candidate for denomination, but
would go away back and settle down
on a quarter section Of land just on
the edge of the back woods, where
"the world forgetting, by the world
forgot he could begin over with his
new helpmate to cheer him on But
disappearance in this manner was
not to be his fate,
/ In due time the Sherwood dollar
adny pension bill came on and MT
Dies could not refrain from saying
what he had thought all his life OF
pensions. which arc an exotic in Tex
as
I lie made several short, telling
speeches and one long one, every line
OF which bristled with sharp convic-
ton on the politicians who were try
ing to get votes by putting through
The bill. He ended with the remark.
81 hear that President Taft will
veto this bill. If so strength to his
arm want this great republic.
founded by our fathers, Offering to
mankind the best hope of the ages,
to survive whether it survives at
your hands or at ours"
The applause that followed was a
reminder of the enthusiasm of a Ma
tional convention Mr.. Dies was so
much congratulated for his courage
that he decided not to buy the back
woods farm just yet but wait and see
what would happen And something
has happened. His mail is business
deep on his desk and he has now two
typewriters busy helping him catch
up with it, Every newspaper and all
the politicians in his district are
whooping it up for Martin Dies, the
man who never says die in the face
Of pension bill, and it is a foregone
conclusion that he will receive re-
nomination, be forgiven for having
domestic troubles and getting out of
them in a manner somewhat uncon-
venuonal.
