PETTY TRADERS OF ARLING-
TON SHOW HAND.

Fie. fiel For shame, you "Busi-
ness Bunch" of Arlington!
Jack Fahey is entirely insignificant
He is so utterly Insignificant that his
name would not be worth mentioning
if he had not become a tool of the
Business Bunch" But egged on by
others and absolutely devoid Of all
chivalry, Il was he that assaulted
Comrade Buchanan in the streets of
Arlington. How much of a pack of
towards the Bunch" are was most
forcibly brought out by the remark
of a farmer, which was overheard and
remembered by a bystander.
Jack works in hardware store. He
was waiting upon farmer customer,
one who has never been identified
with Socialism but nevertheless
possesses to a large degree that in
tegrity and love of fair play so gen.
orally characteristic of the old fash
ioned tiller of the soil While the
farmer was making the purchases,
Jack was several times interrupted by
business men who came to congratu-
late him upon his success in Ticking
Buchanan" the night before.
When the parcels were all tied up
and the farmer was ready to go, he
paused moment and smiled indul-
gently at Jack.
my boy" said he, 81 have known
you pretty nearly ten years, and that's
almost half your life. But Jack, you
did something last night that you
have no reason to be proud of"
"Why, how's that?" asked Jack.
"Why, you see you and everyone of
those business men who have been
praising you claim that Buchanan is
insane. vou believed be was insane.
And yet you went clear across the
street to strike crazy man. Now
do you call that thing to be proud
Off"
Jack hung his head and hadn't a
word to say. But there is the point in
a nutshell. If the Business Bunch"
of Arlington believed Buchanan was
Ia deranged person, their pusilanimity
is well illustrated by their efforts to
nerve Jack Fahey up to the fight. If
they did not believe Buchanan crazy,
their attempt to railroad him to the
Iasylum-an attempt which was frus-
trated by even the justice of bour-
geoise judge-shows what an arrant
set of rogues they are. Whichever
horn of the dilemma is chosen, their
conduct is just what might be ex-
pected from the Bunch" that organ
lied itself two months ago for an auto
raid and drunken spree through the
neighboring towns in Snohomish and
Skagit counties and made the Fourth
of July memorable for the maudlin
pranks of rabble Of rowdies.

War On Socialists Continues

When the Socialists on the Airing
ton school board fired George Ian
caster from his job as superintendent
because of his untruthfulness and his
underhanded triekery in trying to fire
Socialist teachers by slyly stirring up
a storm against them while pretend
ing all kinds of friendship for them,
there was clearly audible chuckle
went the rounds of the town. You
could hear it on the high school
campus: you could hear it in church
entrances; you could hear it in the
counting houses where the working
class gets counted out. Everywhere
in the ranks of the enemy there was
visible glee with here and there a
shining exception. In Lancaster they
recognized an antiquated tool no long
er fit for use.
The Bull Moose organ here emitted
a small volume of noise in the course
of which the editor, after his copy had
been duly corrected by the stenograph-
er, said that Lancaster had been
caught in his own trap. He it was
who had suggested that a clause be
placed in the contract giving either
school board or teacher chance to
get a divorce from each other in fif-
teen days. He had hoped to use this
clause against Sinclair and had urged
- nj n IiCf
meeting. But, says the Bull Moose or
gan in one of its brilliant sallies: "a
man is fool to sign such contract
and Lancaster is simply being pun
ished for his folly"
In other words, this Lancaster is
nothing but a fool. How harsh this
Bull Moose pal of Lancaster got all at
once! For about three days there
after Lancaster kept on the Socialist
side of the street. 1t was real "crool'
u a.ayol Ford 20 spes.a 50 l.s-stily.
But if Lancaster was fool to sign
such a contract, then Arlington EN-
ploys some twenty-eight fools to teach
school. Now anybody knows that with
Mayor Ford running around so many
fools are plethoric and burden to
the dear taxpayers. They could sure
ly drop few from the payroll when
Fausset, the alleged prosecuting attor-
ney, came to town. Strange, how
ever, these fools keep on trying to
make a living out of patient people.
Thereupon Mayor Ford, assisted by
the stenographer, urged the people
that he had called fools to demand of
the board the elimination of the fif-
teen-day clause in the contract, and
the Socialist directors are perfectly
willing now that the clause has done
it's work on it's originator.
The school board met on Saturday
to consider the matter of employing a
new superintendent. There were a
dozen more applicants, some of whom
had been sent by Lizzie Jones. On
the suggestion of DR.. Oliver, the non
Socialist member, the board hired one
5. L. Caldwell from Arizona. This
was too much for Lancaster. SO he
proceeded to the office of DR.. oliver
With his lawyer and in most arro-
CANT manner approached Mr.. Caldwell
with the question, "Are you Social
ist?"
Mr.. Caldwell replied that he had
