EXCEPTIONS.

Foote. the comedian, dined one day
at a country inn. and the landlord
asked how he liked his fare.
"Ilhave dined as we'll as any man in

SOCIALIST ELECTED FOR
THE THIRD TERM.

Comrade William Baer has just been
elected for a third term treasurer of
Ferndale township. This speaks well
both for his honesty and efficiency, to
say nothing of his personal popularity.
Let the good work go on, comrades,
the time will soon come when the
working people even outside our ranks
only hope lies in the election of So
cialist candidates.

Flour Manufacturer Says Eight-Hour
Day Is More Economical.
That the shorter work day is more
economical as we'll as humane was the
declaration of S. Thurston Ballard,
flour manufacturer of Louisville, Ken,
and member of the Federal Industrial
Commission, who has had the eight
hour shift system in operation since
July 1, 1907, while all other flour man
ufacturers work their employees two
shifts of twelve hours each. "While
on two shifts we had 20 men on each
watch, making A men to pack our
output in twenty-four hours" said Mr.
Ballard, ''but when we changed to the
eight-hour basis we required only 15
mon to a crew Or AZ mon in oil CO
that practically the same number of
men were able to do the work A man
doing active or laborious work can do
as much in eight hours as he can in
twelve. We pay our men the same
wage for eight hours of work that we
formerly paid for twelve. In quality
of output, in steadiness of running, it
has been a profitable investment"

True to their class interests and in
stincts, they avoid as far as possible
promoting the propaganda of Social

Whenever the great labor problem is
presented in the regular playhouses,
the facts are distorted, the principles
are emasculated in an effort to con-
ceal the only solution for the problem.

GREAT PROPAGANDA.

The propaganda value of Comrade
Shipley's forceful play is of very
high order, being sound in principle
and vital in it's application to present
day conditions. Get your obdurate
out to see the play, and his
conversion to Socialism will be per-
ceptibly hastened, if not actually eff
fected. The play will be well handled
by the capable Griffith Stock company,
of the Peoples Theater, the big cast
being supplemented by the best local
talent.

REACHING THE PEOPLE.

All comrades realize how difficult it
is to get the truths of Socialism before
the vast mass of working men and
women who have not SO far been
reached through the usual methods,
varied as these are. The party has
had no more difficult problem than
this to solve. And it hasn't been
solved. UNLESS
It should turn out that this vexed
question can be solved through the
agency of the stage. There you have
it.
People will go to a theatrical per-
Torrance who can't be dragged to a
lecture of any kind, neither for love
nor money.
The only question is, how can we
get hold of a play that will have the
requisite dramatic Qualities. the ap-
pealing characters, and yet be a We
hicle for the teaching of MARKHAM eco
nomics?
And no drama that does not put over
the real MARKHAM dope will entirely
serve the purpose of our organization
and propaganda.
Now you may not believe 1t. and
maybe it will not prove at the box
office to be so. but every Socialist
who has read COmrade Shipley's play,
"The Call Of Conscience" declares that
this drama fulfills all requirements.
and gives us just exactly what we have
all along been seeking. They declare
that this MARKHAM play offers us the
solution to the hitherto unanswered
problem Of reaching the millions OF
workers. men and women. who need
our teaching, whose economic and SO
cial needs are in harmony with the
aims of Socialism, and who have
nevertheless not so far been influenced
by our propaganda
This being the case and It Is de
MED by no contradict IL Of the ut-
most importance that every Socialist
within reasonable distance Of Everett
should attend one Of the performances
of Ship'ey's play at the Peoples Thea
ter. preferably the first night, Thurs
day, March % Manager Griffith says
he will PUT THE Cal! of Conscience"
on in the Metropolitan Theater in Sc
attic il it proves 10 be a big success
here in Everett, Let's make him take
it! Furthermore. he declares that if
ii is success in Seattle, he will at
once make arrangements for a tour Of
the entire United States, bringing our
message to every city of any size be-
fore the presidential election in 1916
Now. comrades, isn't this our oppor-
tunity?
Isn't il worth while working for?
Isn't il worth a little unusual effort
yea, and even EXPENSE on our part
to see TO it that the play at least gets
a fair hearing?
