Up Broadway Chandler moved with
the vespertine dress parade. For this
evening he was an exhibit as well as
gazer. For the next sixty-nine even
ings he would be dining in cheviot
and worsted at dubious table d'hotes,
at whirlwind lunch counters, on
sandwiches in his hall bedroom He
was willing to do that, for he was
true son of the great city of razzle-
dazzle, and to him one evening in the
limelight made up for many dark
ones.
Chandler protracted his walk until
the Forties began to intersect the
great glittering primrose way, for
the evening was yet young, and when

air proclaimed him devotee to the

At certain corner he came to
standstill, proposing to himself the
question of turning back toward the
snowy and fashionable restaurant in
which he usually dined on the even

merged by the major importance of
their class interests.
The dominant weakness of the So
cialist party at present is the lack of
this class-conscious spirit and concen-
tration upon the ultimate goal. We
have in the movement, unfortunately,
a large number of comrades who are
not yet "clear" on the class struggle
Until they have imbibed the real revo.
lutionary spirit of the movement, and
made all temporary considerations
subservient to it, there will be no
marked progress in achievements. A
mere reformer has no place in the So
cialst party. 1t is to be deplored that
in many parts of the country the class
struggle has been practically forgotten
in the desire to elect someone to office
in the hope of securing some petty re-
forms, which, if attained, would be
largely meaningless to the working
class.
The mission of the Socialist move
ment is to instill within the minds of
the workers the spirit.5f revolt against
the master class, and this can only be
accomplished by showing them their
relation, as wage-slaves, to the system
through teaching economics and
preaching the gospel of revolution.
We have lost $4,000 members dur
ing the past year This has been due
largely to the fact hat the politicians"
in the party have side-tracked the
fundamental revolutionary demand of
class emancipation and emphasized
the importance of so-called "construc-
tive" Socialism by waging a political
battle for Immediate demands" The
very existence of the party is en-
dangered by this worshipping of false
gods. Our only safety lies in the con-
duct of straight revolutionary pro-
gram upon which we can all unite.
Let us clear up our movement, place
it upon a strictly revolutionary basis,
and then we will be in a position to
intelligently work out an organization
program that will bring stable results.

Ny suggestion regarding organlza-
ton is this: 1t should be the business
of every local to see that every new
.member taken in receives three books,
e Communist Manifesto" Social
ism, Utopian and Scientific" and mo
Compromise" Any worker who d.
gests these will want more. Further
more, you will then have party men,
Der who will "stick," not one who
pays one months dues and then dis
appears.
Following this every speaker in the
state should carry these books and
should he find member who has not
read them there should be sale made
on the spot. You do not have to talk
to revolutionary Socialists about or
ganizaton. These books make revo-
lutionary Socialists. They are less
studied now than they were ten years
ago. Back to the classics if you want
a better organization and more active
membership.

Organization How much we dis
Guess it in theory and how little we
put it in practice. Every rational per-
son admits that united effort only will
bring results where the object to be
attained is one involving the interests
of all concerned This fact is so self
evident that it will not admit of CON
tradiction. That part of the working
class known as organized labor recog-
nizes the advantages of collective bar
gaining in the sale of labor power; in
fact, they have learned by bitter ex-
perience that only through organiza-
ton can they hope to successfully OPP
pose the encroachments of the thor
oughly organized master class.
The Socialist party was organized
primarily for the purpose of emanci-
pating the working class from wage
slavery. Lacking this object, this i'm
polling motive, it would have no eX-
cuse for existence. Whenever the So

(By Second Ward Local, Bellingham.l
When Charles Saint Simon declared
the French revolution to be a class
war his statement attracted no atten-
ton, as the revolution was everywhere
regarded as a political movement. The
class struggle had existed about 5000
wears, but this Frenchman was first to
realize it's activity and connect it with
the revolution of his own time.
In Socialism, Utopian and Scien-
tific," Frederick Engels refers to Saint
Simon in these words: ITO recognize
the French revolution as class war;
and not simply one between nobility
and bourgeoisie, but between nobility
bourgeoisie, and the non-possessors,
was, in 1902, a pregnant discovery
Although the class war has been
waged since the creation of the state
based on private possession OF prop
erty, about 5000 years ago, it is only
10 years since Saint Simon announced
the existence of this class war, and
IS years since Marx and Engels eX-
planned it. AS a result of the French
revolution the capitalist class acquired
political supremacy and rapidly adj
vanced to the position of ruling class,
not only in France, but in all coun-
tries.
The class war is now between bour-
geoisie and proletariat-that is, CAPT
talist class and working class. Says
the Communist Manifesto: THE
proletariat must first of all acquire po-
iitical supremacy, must rise to be the
leading class of the nation, must con,
stitute itself the nation y The
proletariat will use it's political SUI
premacy to wrest, by degrees, all cap
itaI from the bourgeoisie, to centralize
all instruments of production in the
hands of the state, i. e., of the probe
tariat organized as the ruling class.
Turning the communist movement into
the political channel was part OF the
life work of Karl Marx and Frederick
Engels, fully as important as their
economic teachings, From this begin
