of the Arlington schools, who had
written me a fine testimonial in the
spring and who later denounced me
saying that his testimonial meant
nothing, might have by this time
been to see Wilder. | do not know.
But to Lizzie Jones' office Wilder
went with his troubles. This was a
month before my kidnapping. Mrs.
Jones is reported by Wilder to have
said that it would not be hard to get
rid of Buchanan as they could easily
catch me on some technical point and
fire me. This Lizzie Jones person,
backed up by Prosecuting Attorney
Fausset, and fawned upon by two
bucket Lancaster was clearly looking
for this technicality. Anything will
do for a technicality when rascals
hold the reins of power.
Had the working class of Fortson
elected a Socialist school board, and
had the working class of Snohomish
county seen to it that the ballots that
they cast last election were properly
counted, neither Lizzie Jones nor
Harold Wilder would have been able
to contribute their cowardly roles in
this play of the plunderbund.
The Modern Sheriff.
"But let us proceed with the
sheriff. In the old days he was the
kings officer. He is still the kings
officer. But the king is no longer a
personal king. He has become 1T,
and it, the new king, is corporate

me and taking my description I de-

to shut you up in CELL" was the
answer I got from his nibs, the
sheriff. I was being treated like any
other criminal he said, but it was new
to me. Prison bars do not thrill the
soul when viewed from the outside.
We think they are necessary and pass

o you damnable bourgeeisie! Here
in your prison in Snohomish county

filthy creature approached me with
a rusty plate that was once tin. In a
dirty old basket he carried rusty old
cans containing a little mush with a
faint smear of canned milk. Each

The emancipation of the working
class must be accomplished by the
working class itself; and the struggle
for this emancipation does not mean
a struggle for class privileges and
but for equal rights and
duties and for the abolition of class
rule.-Karl Marx.
The Commonwealth. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1911-1914, 1913-09-18
The Answer.

The answer is: The Socialist party
of Washington meets once a year and
settles it's policies and no one has any
right to make any statements in the
name of the party, not in conformity
with it's resolutions and platform, as
adopted by the annual convention and
ratified by the referendum of the
membership. Nothing is official which
is not signed by the state secretary,
and then only when he signs his name
as state secretary. Neither the Com
monwealth, nor any other paper, is
the organ, official or otherwise, of the
state party. The only thing in that
line that by the widest stretch of i'm
agination can be called official organ,
is the State Bulletin, issued monthly
by the state office.
Anything appearing in the Socialist
press is therefore there by the consent
of the editor of each respective paper
and the party is not responsible. The
party does not discriminate in favor
of one kind of union as against the
other nor in favor of one worker as
against another

lies in the greater certainty Of deyel-

is that only one cutting can be made
from each lateral branch.
When ii Is desired TO make the lar

containing but one bud each. Such
cuttings are commonly started under
glass with bottom heat either in green

Cuttings are usually made with two
or more buds. The cuttings are made
while the wood Is dormant during the
fall or early winter. AS fast as made
they are tied In bundles OF twenty-five
or fifty butts all one way) and buried
bottom end up In trench and covered
TO n depth of two or three inches with
sand or mellow soil. Cuttings may also
be kept over winter in II cool cellar
buried In sand sawdust or moss.
The following spring cuttings are set
about three inches apart in trench
with only the topmost bud or buds
above the surface The soil is then
replaced In the trench and thoroughly
packed. In planting, the cuttings
should be exposed TO light and air as
little as possible. After being planted
the cutting should develop roots and
put forth leaves, and by the next fall
or spring 1t should be ready to put out

which the principal are cuttings, layer

A cutting Is detached portion Of

This method Of propagation is consider

form of hardwood cuttings consists of
straight portion Of shoot or cane

containing two or more buds. At the
lower end it is usually cut off just be-

readily from the joints. AT the top 1t

trict to the same degree as would
this school fair. 1t should be
held at different places on differ
ent years and without any ex-
pense whatever to the county.
1t is my opinion that the next
legislature will provide for in
dustrial training in all rural dis
.tricts, il SO the 500 fajr will,
be a remarkable feature in en-
couraging excellency in this
work.
Third. am in favor of the
direct supervision Of the schools
by the Superintendent as far as
the same is possible. There is
no reason why Superintendent
should lie supinely under the
sha eof SINE tree or sit comforta-
bly, on some cushioned seat when
he is paid to work. While the
schools are in session he should
not cease visiting them and Civ
ing the teachers the benefit of
his experience. To superintend
the schools means to have the
charge and direction Of them.
Lastly. AS to granting certifi-
Gates, | would consider morality
a qualification. No young man
should be granted a certificate,
or be allowed to hold one, if he is
in the habit of becoming intoxi-
Gated or is otherwise guilty of

certificates. If nominated and
