Norwich, Conn. April 16.-According
to one of the directors of the First
National Bank this city. which was
closed, today, by order of its directors,
the order was brought about by the

last statement showed deposits of
100000 with assets of 100000.
The president OF the bank, Franklin

Woman's day was observed at the
meeting Of the Second Ward local last
Sunday afternoon, with Comrade Cora
Culp presiding A good program relat-
ing to the work of women in the so
cialist movement was presented and
at the close of the meeting a number
of Progressive Woman cards were dis
posed of. Among the speakers was
John Corelli, a New Zealand miner,
who gave an interesting talk on the
growth of socialism in Australasia.
Some of the local members have re-
ported good progress in the sale of
National Lyceum tickets. Friday
night, March 81, is the date of the
first lecture, and the place is Odd
Fellows hall, on Commercial street.
Every comrade must do his or her
share in making the lyceum course a
success. Get a book of tickets of the
lyceum secretary, Comrade Mrs. e.
Wallner, at the meeting next Sunday.
If you have not the time to help sell
tickets to republicans and democrats,
then you should at least buy ticket,
as no socialist will want to miss these
five lectures by national speakers.
The lectures are practically free, as
each ticket admits one person to all
the lectures and in addition is good
for fifty cents subscription to any So
cialist paper or magazine. The address
of the lyceum secretary is 243 Forest
street, or telephone Main 1869.
Joe Ettor, active in the Lawrence
strike, will speak here Friday night,
March %, in the Bellingham theater,
Old Town, under the direction of the
I. w. w. local of this city.
Our local has mailed this protest
to U. s. Senators Poindexter and
Jones, Congressman Humphrey and
President Taft:
"The following resolution was passed
unanimously at a regular meeting of
the socialist party in this city today.
We trust that you will give the sub
iect your earnest considerations
'Resolved, that the arrest of Eu-
gene V. Debs and his associates of
the Appeal to Reason should meet
with the protest and indignation of
working people throughout the United
States.
'Resolved, that it is the belief of
the men and women here assembled
that the present persecution of the
Appeal is only the beginning of gen
eral attempt of the plutocracy to cur
tail the freedom of the press, and if
the Appeal can be crushed then all
freedom of speech and press will rap
idly disappear.
Resolved, that it is now time for
our representatives in congress to
protest, if we are to retain an I'M
trsnmeled press, a press that will
stAn2 for the interests of the people
and not for the interests of the trusts
and the plutocracy."

ABOUT BOOKS

Comrades: AS long as we allow Of
ficials of the old parties to select the
textbooks used in our schools, so long
will those books be filled with ma
terial tending to perpetuate the pres
ent system of exploitation of the
workers. Now, while we are not yet
strong enough to get the selection of
textbooks in our hands, we can get
control of many of our school dis
tricts.
Then if these districts insist upon
getting socialist teachers much can
be done to eliminate the harm now be-
ing done by those books; in that the
teacher can point out to the children
the fallacies and false standards of
morality taught thru those books; the
teacher can endeavor to teach the
children to think, criticise and to base
their own morals upon standards Of
justice and equality; to be dissatis-
fled with things as they are; and to
wake them up to the possibilities of
the cooperative commonwealth.
Much might also be done by the
school boards in selecting books for
school libraries; now they contain
only books bolstering up the fallacies
in the textbooks, and prating of the
beauty of contentment with seryitude
and gratitude to our masters if they
throw us a crumb from the bounty
we have made for them.
If the socialist bureau of education
could compile list of books suitable
for school Libraries, 50 that it would
be accessible to boards Of directors,
it would help materially. Otherwise
many members would often be at sea
in regard to the most suitable books.
That we may elect many members
of boards at the next election is the
hope and belief Of a,

Workers, did you call on that pros
pect" yesterday? You will have to
hurry, for the time is short, just three
short weeks now before the first
speaker will be here-E. w. Perrin,
"The Anvil Philosopher" on the 80
cialist Challenge" Get busy now;
don't be a cipher.
The first speaker, Comrade Wilfred
Gribble, on the State Lyceum circuit
spoke at the S. p. headquarters on
February "a to a good sized audience.
His subject, "The War of the Glasses"
was very interesting, entertaining and
instructive lecture, The remarks on
what constitute good socialist, a
real socialist, not the milk and water
variety, nor the saffron-hued reformer,
but the red-blooded scientific socialist,
we're especially interesting. We hope
that every comrade will attend these
state lecture meetings for they are of
such educational value that they can
not afford to miss them.
If you did not hear Gribble you
missed a literary treat.

JOIN THE PROPAGANDA
LEAGUE.

Tentative plans are being arranged
for the organization of propaganda
league with the socialist party, and
through it the socialist movement. Its
purpose and plans are the education
of the great mass of non-socialists to
socialism. The systematic distribu-
ton of socialist literature and the uni
flying of all the contending forces on
the political and economic field.
We who believe in this program
must stop hair splitting and SQUAD
bling and use our influence toward
harmony, or as the Irishman puts it,
even. if we have to fight to get it.
One thing is certain, we cannot
longer tolerate the dictation and dom
nance of leaders who disrupt the rank
and file and continue to split the work
ers into contending factions. While
we need not necessarily accuse such
leadership of duplicity and brand them
as traitors, vet we can doubt their
wisdom and repudiate their leader
ship, for they are not in reality lead
ers" but millstones tied to the necks
of the working class which is now
struggling onward toward the goals
of unity, without which the working
class emancipation is impossible, ana
after all, when you get right down to
it. the differences are all non-essen-
tials, where the individual may still
be granted the privilege to think as
he darn well pleases.
So, therefore, let us reason together
the trade unionist and the Industrial
unionist, the political actionist, and
the direct actionist to forget our diff
ferences on "How to get it, and direct
our combined efforts in educating the
economic heather working men and
women to the fundamental principles
upon which we all agree.
A campaign of literature distribu-
ton will accomplish wonders If fol-
lowed out in a systematic manner.
Every earnest student of socialism,
whether a party member or not, is
invited to join this league, if it is
