.Glasner, OF Barry, who recently IN
troduced a bill to require certificate

sending out two letters asking for q

One of the. letters is addressed TO

that Sunday, Feb. 3. be set apart In
their services as "eugenics' day The
other is addressed TO Mrs. Florence

the Michigan federation of women 3
clubs. IL requests the cooperation

their active support OF the bill Itself.
The letter to the clergy follows;
To the Ministers CT Michigan:
As the passage OF what is known
as the Glasner bill. requiring a medi
cal certificate of good health before
marriage. rests upon educating our
people TO the fact that we are facing
degeneracy through the marriage oil
the mentally and physically defective.
and as the educating power OF the
pulpit is immeasurable. respectfully
ask you 10 designate Sunday. Feb. 3,
1918, as "Eugenics" day, and give TO
your people the reasons why every
child has the right TO be we'll born.

Police Commissioner Croul served
notice on all automobile owners that
the armistice between the police de-

and that complaints will be made
against all not supplied with tags py

William II. Snow, fourth speaker on
the state lyceum, was with us last
Sunday afternoon. A number of pic
MICS had been advertised all week, but
all the same we had a good crowd at
our meeting. The speaker handled
his subject, Human Merchandise"
with close adherence to MARKHAM prin-
ciples. His explanation of value and
price. so often misunderstood or mis-
applied, was simple enough for any
mind The working people have only
one thing to sell-labor power-and
the speaker described the manner in
which this commodity is bought and
sold on the market, how the capitalist
buys this human merchandise and
profits by it, and how the capitalist
retains the laborer's product and sells
it a a price much in excess of wages,
by reason of surplus product created
by labor. Indeed, under capitalism,
human labor power is a commodity,
brought and sold like mule or a
stack of dry goods.

man that ever lived is, in office, just
like the worst. I have seen and
watched about as many different re-
form movements as there are hairs
on dog, and 1 never yet could detect
any difference, no matter how good
the reformers might be.
And if the good man that you are
dreaming of really represents any
good cause, it is embraced in So
cialism and can be much more adj
vanced by voting the Socialist ticket.
Every Socialist vite is clothed with
potency far beyond al the reform
movements put together. 1t is the So
cialist vote that the powers of evil
watch and fear. AS they see it mount
ing they make haste to take the &C
ton that they think will divert the
working class from uniting for it's
emancipation, and whatever has been
gained for that class in this country
has been gained chiefly through this
influence.
OF those that object to tying them
selves" to one organization, I should
like to know how otherwise but by
organization shall progress be made?
Without close union in a coherent, dis
ciplined, definitely purposed organi-
cation, all effort for better condi-
lions becomes merely futile and all
radicals are what Bismarck used to
call "a mob of fighting persons"
Organization is the cornerstone and
no less the keystone of success, if we
are ever to win it. l think that the
man that holds out on this ground is
no radical and no rel sympathizer
with progress, but just a great egotist
with some idea of winning glory or
distinction or making money from
the radical movement. And with
such there is the least call to be
patient The essence of this thing is
The Commonwealth. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1911-1914, 1913-07-03

the Common Good, and if man
doesn't feel that, he doesn't feel any
part of the cause and had better
cease to call himself a sympathizer.
All of the objections together are
unworthy of adults. If this thing
could make progress except by sacri-
flee it would give the lie to all hui
man experience and all history. Some
of those that are enlisted in it are
sacrificing their lives, some their
time, some their careers, some their
positions, some the chance of pro-
vision against penury.
Compared with this record, the most
wonderful of modern times, the
sacrifice of mere within or prejudice
or vanity about joining an organiza-
ton looks small enough.
Anyway, 1 can tell all hesitating
and doubtful brethren from my own
experience that when they get inside
the party all their doubts will disap-
pear and they will regret the time
they wasted outside If man does
nothing more than to pay his monthly
dues, l believe that he is doing more
for humanity than all the reformers
and philanthropists in the world. And
the satisfaction of feeling that he no
longer shirks, that he has taken his
place, that he has prfoessed his faith
and stands in the ranks without skulk-
ing around the suffers wagons is be-
yound all computation.

Germany.

The general election of members to
the diet (parliament) has been fought
on the question of ornaments and
the result so far indicates that the So
cialist vote has increased from 100000
to 100000. The conservatives and
centrists were the heavy losers. The
measure proposed by the government,
that is aimed at the peoples move
ment in Alsace-Lorraine no doubt was
one of the causes of the defeat of the
conservatives and centrists.
