SEhI'S PLAN.

sEHrs PLAN.
Editor the Palladium:
ask the reader to read my letter
in last evenings issue before reading
this one.
l shall endeavor to show why the
Socialist, who usually has pronounced
views on public questions, is taking
little interest in the coming election,
and why some are on one side and
some on the other, and all agree that
the controversy will not be settled
by this election nor by years of repi-
ton of this sort of thing.
AS long as there is poverty want,
misery, heart-hunger, loneliness and
social repression, men will drink. AS
long as children are reared in the
slums, they will be sodden. AS long
as womankind is degraded by brutal
toll, debasing poverty and prostitu-
ton, they cannot bring forth children
who will be strong enough to resist
their environment and free them
selves from the curse of liquor.
You have gone to the working class.
to the saloon keeper and brewer and
asked that they vote themselves out
of job. You are ready to supply no
more jobs; you have no means of life
to offer these men, no other business
in which they might embark You
talk of "re-adj ustment," but a man
can get very hungry while waiting
for REIMBURSEMENT You cannot hope
that sane men will use their vote to
do away with their means of life I'M
til you have other means of life to
offer them.
There is enforced idleness now
among the poor because there are
more workers than opportunities to
work under capitalism. Prohibition
would simply mean that thousands of
workers would be thrown on an al
ready over-stocked labor market to
compete with those now already
struggling for a chance to be en-
ployed.
1t is favorite argument with tenn
perance leaders that if all the mil
lions now spent for liquor were spent
for the necessities of life, it would
give work to all who are now en-
ployed in the liquor traffic
Well. no doubt it would under a
different social system, but under
capitalism it would not have any ef-
feet, Look at it as we may, we must
admit that should the liquor traffic
suddenly cease there would be thou
sands more men, women and children
struggling for employment, lower
wages, more want, misery and suf-
fering
You overlook the fact that private
ownership of the means of life has
caused these ills, ruined more lives.
murdered more men, women and chill
dren than the drink traffic a hun
dredfold.
The mortality reports published by
the United States government for the
year 1906. gives the number of deaths
from alcoholism as about 2.107 for
the entire country. During that year

PUTTERBAUGH WRITES.

EQ1COT fdllaQlum:
1t has been my privilege to inter
view scores of workingmen. Men who
represent our best citizens. who har-
Dor the highest ideals Men who
would readily respond to their coun-
try's call. Men who perform the
worlds work Men who aspire to be-
come ideal citizens in an ideal COM
monwealth. Men who are not actu-
ated by mental alterations" or under
the spell Of religious hysteria," su-
perinduced by a paid hypocrite and
parasite who schemes to wiring dol
lars from the gullable public in the
name of Christianity.
If these religious dry fanatics are
sincere and honestly believe that the
workingman will be benefited by a
dry town." will they please endorse
the following, hereunto appended:

affix our names, pledging our assist
ance in helping the employees now
employed in the liquor traffic, to find
employment elsewhere in the event

houses and flour mills have made
more bare cupboards and hungry hui
man being than the saloon. The pri-
vate ownership of the textile mills
and shoe factories have caused more
people to be6cold, ragged and ill-clad
than drink. The private ownership of
homes by landlords have caused more
people to be homeless, wandering
vagabonds than drunkenness. The
private owner of the machinery of
production is more despotic tyrant,
has power to kill, MAIN and crush a
thousand times more than the De

sion of the Austrian defeat in south
Poland follows:
The Austrian invasion of south Po-
land, which penetrated as far as Opolt
and Krasnostav and Zamosc, was pro-
tected on its right by an army operat-
ing east of Lemberg. This latter
army was completely defeated by tht
Russians on September ! near Lem
berg.
Wedge Through Austrians.
From that moment it became evi.
dent that If the Austrian right flank
could not continue a stubborn resis'
tanee, the retreat of the main Austrian
army from south Poland would be
imperilled BY the capture of Tomas
zow on September 10, II is probable
that the Russians drove a wedge
through the Austrian line.
Today brilliant Russian victory Is
reported in which 10000 prisoners and
several hundred guns were taken. This
is probably the immediate result OF
the Tamaszow action.
10000 Prisoners Captured.

Two Austrian armies are surround
ed and so. 600 prisoners have been tax

The Germans are again moving troops

General Won Auffenberg has lost 3oe
officers, 2S,000 soldiers and 400 guns
and that the second Austrian army has
lost as prisoners 500 officers and 7O,-
600 men. The Russian victory Is con-
sidered to be absolutely decisive.
A message from Petrograd to the

considering for several DAYS a mes

Might Consider Peace.
Notwithstanding the vigorously
phrased statement through official
channels last week that Great Brit
ain, France and RUSSIA would not
make peace until they had dccisiveiy
defeated Germany, 1t was admitted
In many quarters here that a favor
able answer from Emperor William
to the American governments inquiry
might change the entire aspect Of
the situation. Such a reply, II was
agreed would set the machinery Tor
peacemakine IN motion even though
hostiltics might not cease, the dis
cussion of pence terms being through
the American government in the hope
that some common ground might he
found for an acceptance by the bel-
ligerents of President Wilson's orig
inal tender Of good offices looking
toward mediation
Presidents Influence Great.
In this connection some prominent
ldiplomatlsts did not hesitate to say
that President Wilson'S personal in
lfluence IN Great Britain and France
as result Of his outspoken and sue
cessful appeal TO the American con-
gress to repeal an act which he be-
llieved In contravention to a treaty.
would be IN important factor in a
movement for peace.
II WAS suggested, for instance, in
diplomatic quarters that IL Emperor
William should manifest a willing
ness TO talk peace. President Wilson
would be able without difficulty To
obtain from the allies definite state
ment Of terms.
German Ranisare Alarmed
Tne suggestion was advanced BY
some diplomats that Germany might
be stimulated to arrWAge peace by
her powerful banking interests. In
British circles here the view Is held
that German bankers gave their ap-
proyal "a Germany's entry into the
war only in the belief that the con
fIict would last a month, in which
time Parts would he captured and
France forced 10 sue for terms. With
the unexpected entry Of Great Brt-
ain, the resistance Of Belgium and
the uneOmpronlising attitude Of the
allies to make peace only BY mutuail
consent the bankers according toI
British viewpoint already see flnan-
cial ruin for Germany and are most
likely to exert pressure for an ending
Of the war.

4 tho war for the allies. The French
government emierated from Paris to
Bordeaux in long sad procession of
motor cars. An attack OH the capital
appeared imminent and the main
German force had hammered huge
wedge into France between Paris and
Verdun. With its center some miles
south OF that line.
The French people trembled with
the question whether their army was
not benton army. whether the his
tory Of 1870 would repeat itself.
Battle Of Marne stupendous.
The battle of Marne, which was de-
eided In a week. Is regarded Ivy mill
tary critics as the most marvellous re-
vcrsal Of roles of two armies known.
In their view, It appears to have de-
cided the first phase Of the war and
TO have made impossible the plan
which the German staff is supposed
to have had of smashing the French
by one comprehensive stroke. and
then turning the bulk OF the German
forces eastward TO confront the RUS
slams
Tehe military experts, however, are
still cautious While recognizing the
possibility that The German allies may
vel rally and draw strong defensive
line, they recognize also the possibility
of the almost complete evacuation of
France and Belgium.
