YEAR OF REMARKABLE
SOCIALIST PROGRESS

Within the last II months the In
ternational Socialist movement has
made wonderful progress, according
to G. A. Hoehn. = - T.
In a. number. OF countries gen.
eral elections have taken place dur
ing the year and in every instance
the Socialists gained in votes and
mandates.
In Italy our comrades almost dou-
bled their previous vote and the
number Of members elected to the
chamber of deputies, the total Social
list vote reaching almost the million
mark (e97,o0o), electing 70 Socialist
members to parliament.
In the Argentine Republic the So
cialists increased their representation
In the national congress from to
7, increasing their vote correspond
ton and the Socialists increased their
number of members in the rigsdag
(congress) from about 40 to 81.
In Bulgaria, where the Socialist
party had practically no representa-
ton in the shranje (national legisla-
ture), there are today 81 Socialist
members i'm the legislative body. Fin
land increased the number Of Social
lists in the national parliament from
81 to 90. in spite of the Russian
czar's tranny and persecution.
The latest news of unprecedented
Socialist progress: comes. from France,
where the Socialists increased their
vote by about 100000, reaching the
1,4oo, 900 mark, gaining rs new seats
in the. chamber Of deputies, where
they are. now represented by 1o2
members. = = s.& ~ @>&fzs =: "A

FRANCE PROTESTS u. S,
SHIP REGISTRY LAW

# WASHINGTON, Sept. 4:-Two more
important objections that France has
to President Wilson's plan to spend
100000 on an American merchant
marine were pointed out at the French
embassy.
One referred to the signing by the
United States the declaration of Lon
don in 1909 for rules of naval war
fare
The second Is that the purchase of
any ships by the United States would

BY Senator Cummins.

Labor organizations brought to-
other for the purpose of enhancing
or advancing wages, lettering the
conditions of labor or lessening the
hours Of labor, can not in the very
nature of things be a restraint Of
trade or commerce.
Then. why should not these work.
ingmen and workingwomen combine,
in order that their wages may be in
creased and that the conditions under
which their labor Is performed may
be ~bettered? There is no danger,
Mr.. President, that the workingman
or the workingwoman will: ever re-
pensation- for the labor performed.
There Is a potential competition al
ways confronting wageworkefs that
will envitably reduce the compensa-
ton far below the point at which it
should In equity and In good con-
science rest: These. mon and women
grow hungry, and they must eat;
they must clothe themselves; they
must support: their families; and
these necessities compel them to
work at whatsoever wages they may
be able to secure. Idleness for any
great length of time and among any
great proportion Of them Is absolute
ly unthinkable and impossible.
For these reasons, Mr.. President,
have never been one of those who
have had any fear Of combination
| among wageworkers. I believe that
it ought to be the policy of this gov
eminent to encourage, such combin-
alton and association. T. believe we
| ought to lend a helping handto their
efforts to advance their condition in
| life. knowing that with all their
energy and with all the assistance
| we can give them they will never
be- advanced in fortune or in pro-
perty' beyond the point necessary for
comfort and happiness. -
This is the beginning, I think, OF
| all consideration of this subject. I
do not see how any one: can investi-
gate 1T without first learning and
pondering upon the facts that I have
so meagerly stated.
Let us take the next step. we
| have been debating this bill, and ]
have heard the subject debated a
thousand times. upon the hypothe sis
thatrtf1e labor of a human being is
Of the same quality and order as a
bale Of cotton, a barrel of flour, or
bushel: OF corn. repudiate the
parallel and the comparison: 1t is
because we have been In the habit
of. thinking of labor as a commodity
that we have fallen into many mis-
takes which now impair and mar, ]
think, both legislation and judicial
opinion.8KThe labor of a human be-
ing; VIII ether AZ be Of the mind Or OF
the hand, is not a commodity. While
we are In the habit, I know, of say
ing that worlingman has nothing
ITO sell but his labor, 1t, is a confusion
in thought and In terms. Labor is
not a commodity; it Is not an article
Of commerce; and when the constitu-
ton Of the United States gave to
congress the authority to regulate
commerce among the states, it did
not give it the right to regulate
labor, the disposition of the energy
Of the human being.
If we would begin as we ought tc
begin, with the understanding thai
the power Of a human being to work
to. produce something, is not a com:
modify or a subject Of commerce, we
would reach a saner and better con.
clusion than we have heretofore an.
no1nced

Bv Senator Hughes.

While we are speaking of class
legislation, where could we lind 4
more beautiful illustration. of the
ease with which class legislation is
accepted when certain powerful in
terests are involved than the specta-
Gle exhibited in this body the other
day. when statutory monopoly was
permitted to continue it's exactions,
permitted to continue to mulct the
American people for carrying their
goods, even in the face of great
exigency, a great war emergency?
Here was a little. selected class Of
American oiti1ens who have the pri-
vilege Of operating vessels plying
from port to port. I'M : the United
States, while an American ship, flying
the American flag. sailing from the
port OF Liverpool, for example, to the
port OF New York, and dischareing her
cargo there can not pick up another
cargo at the port Of New York and
carry 1t to a gulf port in order to
pay its expenses for that part of the
trip, but must conf1ne it's operations
to American commerce transported
abroad. Why? Because If it were
permitted to engage in the coastwise
trade it would interfere with the pri-
vtlege Of a class of American citizens
who own and operate coastwise ships
and a class Of American citizens who
build those ships for those men to
own and operate.
WE are Hnder'S-: no.! illusion. over
here Theirs Is not state: In: thu,
union. so far. as l. know, that has
an act Of this kind or one so liberal
as this (English trades dispute act),
We know that it is not even at
tempted here to come within miles
Of it: and 1t is known that even II
we did we still would leave these
men subject to the various jur1sdic-
tons in which they live and operate.
No; we pirate about the American
workman in our political platforms
and We excuse the system Of tariff
robbery on the ground that the rob-
bers are. going to- hand their plum
der down to the workers. There is
only one way in which they can be
compelled: to- hand it down; there is
only one weapon that will permit an
American workman to plunge his
hand into the employers pocket and
get his share of the loot that has
been wrung from the American peo-
pie, and that is the strike. One OF
these conspiracies; one of these com
binations and agreements that may
be In restraint OF trade is the only
weapon he has had, but you have
given his employers themselves
many; you have permitted them to
capture this loot and you have said
you have done so on behalf of these
| American 'workmen. That is what
you said: your platforms reek with
1T; there is not a platform that you
have adopted for the past 25 or 80
years that does not say that. You
pride yourselves upon being class
legislators. You have two classes
employers and employees. You give
the employers the right to loot and
plumber, and you say we do so be.
cause we know they will pass II
! down. AS the present secretary OF
state one time said, you have ap.
pointed tho employers trustees, you
have made them executors or adj.
illustrators. but you have not asked
them to give bond.

Enjoyable Dancing Party.

A very enjoyable and successful
dancing party was given by the lad
les, members of Maple Circle w. o.
W., at the dancing pavilion at the
Fair Grounds on Friday evening last.
Music for the occasion was furnished
by an orchestra of four pieces from
Portland and there was goodly
number of the lovers of the terp-
sichore present. The dance had
been planned with view to raising
some funds for the use of the lodge
and the management were well
pleased with the outcome in this re-
spect and contemplate giving other
entertainments of this nature in the
future. The event was pronounced
very enjoyable by those attending.

SCHOOL NOTES.
By Supt. S. e. Notson.

The Hardman school is making
good progress under the direction OF
Misses Winnifred Osten, Margaret
Osten and Eta Adams. A number
of improvements have been MADE
about the building. The floors nave
been we'll oiled, new bookcase has
been provided and a patent heating
and ventilating plant has been pur-
chased for one room. II the heating
and yentilating plant proves sue
cess. 1t is likely that the other rooms
will also be equipped with similar
nlants. The teachers and pupils are
anxious to make each room stand
ard school, and it is not likely that
they will fail, for tic people seem to
be ready to cooperate.
Mrs. Margaret Cramer teaches the
school in District No. 10. This is a
small school, The Pupils are a very
enthusiastic crowd. They are max
ing an effort to buy a flag, and they
will succeed. The floor has been oil
ed. The windows are provided with
good shades. A new dictionary will
be purchased soon.
Districts which have not made any
tax levy and expect to make one
should hold meeting for that pur-
pose in time to have the notice OF
levy sent in before December /.
Under an arrangement made BY
the State Superintendent and the
State Board Of Health, each country
school is entitled to elect from among
the pupils deputy health officer
AS soon as this is done, the teacher
should notify the county superinten
dent, and the official badge and man
ual of instructions will be sent tt

State Superintendent and the Boar'
of Health that this will result II

THE GREATEST ARRAY
OF SOIL PRODUCTS

Portland, Nov. II, (SpeciaI -
Portland's greatest exposition, the
Manufacturers & Land Products
show, has brought under one roof in
Oregon's metropolis the greatest ar
ray of products of the soil ever as
sembled in the United States besides
magnificent displays by the leading
manufacturers.
Thousands of people from all over
the Northwest have viewed the eX-
hibits and pronounced the eXposl-
ton the most successful ever held
west of Chicago. The display of
fruits, grains, grasses and vegetables
has never been equaled at any expo
sition of the kind in recent years,
During the last two weeks many cit
les and towns of the state have had
special days at the fair, including the
Willamette Valley country, Tilamook
county, Clackamas county, Wood
burn, Forest Grove and other places.
The exposition will not close its
doors until November IA. The work
ing exhibits are of the highest char
acter and testify to the large number
of articles manufactured in Oregon
with the Made in Oregon label 60
ing to all parts Of the United States
and foreign lands.
Besides the manufacturers eXhib-
its and the fine display of fruits
grains, grasses and vegetables, the
hourly programs and special fea'
lures have proven a great drawing
card and there is something doing
at the exposition afternoon and eve
ming. Twice during the closing week
many valuable exhibits will be dis
tributed by the exhibitors. On Fri

show will be one of the unique fea

Philadelphia by l.. G. Gilman, Pres

chief executive of the Great North
ern Pacific Steamship Company,
which will operate the palatial pas
senger steamers between the Colum-
bia River and California. This Is
the first time Mr.. Gilman has had a
chance to inspect these twin levia-
thans which are being built at a cost
of $5,O0O,O0O at the Cramp ship
building yards.
"The Great Northern is structural
ly complete right now" said Mr.. Gil
man. "All she needs is her furnish

ship, the Northern Pacific, was laun-
ched only short time ago, she was
much further along structurally
when she took her maiden dip than
was the Great Northern, and the

that the Northern Pacific will not DC
