A SOCIALIST REPLIES TO CRlTI
ClSM MADE BY CAPTAIN
BEECHAM.

Everett, Wash, Dec. 31st, 1913.
Editor Morning Tribune:
Assuming that you are willing to
publish statements on both sides of
the question, l respectfully submit the
following answer to a letter from r.
X. Beecham, printed in your issue of
today.
Believing that Mr. Beecham really
wants to be numbered among those
who wish to fright the wrong and
maintain the right" I wish to inform
him and those who have been, like
him, deceived, that in no single in
stance in the state has it been proved
that any teacher has ever taught So
cialism in his or her class room. On
the contrary, it has on several occa-
sions been proved by numerous wit
nesses that they have not taught So
cialism in the school room.
In making this statement, l do not
wish to imply, however, that a Social
list teacher in the school room does
not do damage to the capitalist system
and capitalist political economy. No
Socialist would deny this. But the
Socialist teacher does this damage to
trading class ideals and methods, not
by teaching Socialism, but by telling
the plain truth about capitalism. And
as the present economic and political
system is based upon fraud, deception
and violence, resting upon ignorance,
it follows that the Socialist teacher
needs but to tell the truth, without
regard to politics, and the damage to
the capitalist system is done AS
Socialist, advise capitalist politicians
to keep Socialist teachers out of the
schools if they can.
In regard to Thorne's outburst at
the teachers convention, no Socialist
that I have talked with on the sub
ject approves of his remarks. AS So
cialists we stand unequivocally for
democracy, which means majority
rule, and democracy in industry can
not be effected until a majority of our
citizenship express their desire for
cooperative commonwealth at the bal
lot box.
Any statement contrary to the above
is anti-Socialistic.
Sincerely yours,
MAYNARD SHIPLEY.

HIGH PRICES OR LOW PRICES,
THE WORKERS GET THE
COST OF LIVING ONLY.

In the days of soaring prices it is
we'll to remember the terrible days of
Clevelands second administration
when prices were very low. But what
benefit was that reduced cost of liv-
ing to the wage workers."
They had a mighty hard time get
ting the ''low price" of bare exist
ence.
The wages of the workers always
follow the curve of the rise and fall
in the cost of their necessities. When
prices go up, wages go up; when the
prices so down, wages follow, So
what's the use?
In 1853 the price of the necessities
of life increased very materially, and
wages followed closely the curve of
increased cost of living.
New York and Boston hotels raised
their prices from $3.50 to $500 a day
and Washington hotels ventured to
ask $3.50. The milkmen put up prices
and the icemen doubled theirs, ask
ing so cents a week for 10 pounds a
day, or 20 pounds The BARRIERS in
creased the price of shave" to 10
cents and the cost of hair cut was
raised to 20 cents. The penny news
papers of Albany went up to 10 cents
a week. The newspapers of Boston
advanced their advertising rates and
street car fares in New York rose from
four cents to five.
The wage-slaves should worry!
The bosses have to pay enough to
keep the needed workers alive, what
ever the cost. Those they don't need
to extract unpaid labor (profits) from
they'll starve anyhow, whether prices
be high or prices below. 1t was so in
1853, and it is so in 1914.
The workers should unite politically
and in their unions for a universal
eight-hour work day, a minimum wage,
and a right-to-work law.
Let the man who works the mules
worry about the high cost of hay and
oats.
The mule should worry!
No feed, no mule-power
Not enough feed, not much mule
power.
1t doesn't pay to work half-starved
mules.
Let the bosses do the worrying over
the high cost of living.
Whatever the cost of living, the
workers will have to unite and fight
to get ito work at all.

when the great thorne" urges arm
ed revolution as n means of accom-
plishing the purposes Of the Socialist
organization" IL seems about time for
the people who are interested in our
public schools as the great bulwarll of
American liberty. to devise means to
keep such teachers out of the schools.
That can be done by keeping the Arl-
ington case in memory and always
electing school boards that will honor
and defend the public schools, Then,
when it comes to EARNED revolution
for any cause, we will be able to find
men to meet the wrong and maintain
the right Respectfully,

CLIPPING socIALIsM'S THoRNs
editor of The Commonwealth

Editor Morning Tribune:
The editor of the Commonwealth
Maynard Shipley, seems to think that
both sides of the question" should
be aired, and in your issue of Janu-
airy list, respectfully submits an an
swer to letter from the undersigned,
so he states; but in fact he answered
the other fellow in this wise:
'In regard to Thorn's outburst at
the teachers convention, no Socialist
that / have talked with on the sub
ject approves of his remarks" etc.
Now, if the Socialists at that conyen-
ton had clipped their rantankerous
Thorne as effectually as Mr.. Shipley
clips him in his answer, there had
been nothing at the said convention
worth noticing. Clip your irritating
Socialistic Thorns, Mr. Shipley, in
stead of applauding their jagged
scratching at conventions and lectures,
and you would find less trouble in
convincing other people that: "As
Socialists you stand unequivocally for
democracy" etc. 1t is the thorniness
Of your Socialistic garden that brings
your party into disrepute.
Respectfully,
r. X. BEECHAM

BY WAY OF EXAMPLE
TELLING THE TRUTH IN CAPITAL
IST PRESS.

In the opinion of the editor of this
paper it is poor policy to try to make
it appear that a Socialist school teach
err in the public schools is as wise as
a serpent and as harmless as a dove.
While we do not believe it practicable
for a Socialist teacher to teach So
cialism" in the schools, it is entirely
possible to teach the truth about CAPT.
talism in the public schools. The
teacher who does this is menace to
trading-class rule.
The following letters appeared in
the Everett Morning Tribune, and are
reprinted here as examples OF what
happens when some indiscreet COM
rade furnishes our political opponents
with armed revolution" dope. Such
talk, coming from a Socialist school
teacher at a teachers convention
does great harm to the cause, while IL
accomplishes absolutely no good. Be

a majority of citizens at the ballot
box, we shall not be able to rally them

SOCIALIST SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Editor Morning Tribune
We notice by your issue of Deem
Der 80, that we have not yet seen the
last of the Observation-Disclosures
stage play which makes the Socialist
Teachers organization completed in
Everett last Sunday both timely and
interesting. While the purpose Of
that union as declared by one of the
leading lights OF Socialism, "is TO pro
tect Socialist teachers" it would seem
from the light shed by the Arlington
affair that it is really the schools that
need protection from a class Of teach
ers that are trying to get into the pub
lie schools for the purpose Of teaching
their political ideas therein. The So
cialist doctrine may be all right In It's

which will work out i'm practice only
to the execution Of the poor.
At the National Prison Congress,
held at Quincy M, a few years since,
Dr. Henry H. Hatch earnestly advo-
Gated the method of ancient Sparta
as proper preventive of the spread
Of degeneraey among moderns, mean
ing, of course, members of the work
| ing class lie said that he would have
the state not only dispose of all in
corrigible criminals, by execution, but
that the state should also do away
with the permanently insane. Il was
also suggested that the sick be en-
couraged to commit suicide. 1t was
not proposed to hang the two latter
classes of unfortunates, but merely to
dispose of them by some painless
method" Work along this line would
naturally be carried on in public hos
pitfalls, where members of the working
class are confined at the cost of the
poor taxpayer.
What Is Proposed for "Habitual Grim
mails"
TO one who has not followed the his
tory of the death cure, and the death
penalty as they have been variously
applied, DR.. Hatch's proposal may
seem to call for no serious discussion.
Public sentiment will condemn it at
once" it may be said. But to one who
has closely followed the trend of pub
lie opinion in respect to the applica-
ton of judicial homicide during the
course of many centuries, the proposal
of DR. Hatch, at Quincy, merits at
least a passing consideration, If not
as an impending reform" at least
as a symptom. And let us not deceive
ourselves into the belief that DR..
Hatch's proposal is an isolated "symp-
tom"
81 am inclined to think, writes Mr..
Mallock, that to execute criminals
who are inclined to be incorrigible,
would be, at all events, better than
letting them harm society again as
soon as one sentence is expired, only
to being a new life of crime-which is,
indeed under the circumstances, often
the only course which is open to
them"
Justice Holmes Would Kill the "In-
adequate"
ut seems to me" writes Justice o.
L. Holmes, of the United States SUI
preme court, that the question of the
death penalty, as of every other pen
atty, is a question of sociological OBJ
servation-and of that there is too
little in this country and probably any
where in the world to get to very GER
course, that no competent person
would have any sentimental scruples,
and it seems to me that if l were 60
ing to speculate about the future,
should contemplate as one
possibility among others that this
community would or might take life
into it's hands on more far-reaching
grounds than punishment. am not
clear that even now, | would not rather
see a man killed because he was in
adequate than because he had killed
some one eIse."
There you have it, straight from the
shoulder!
Inadequate" Inadequate to what?
Doubtless the learned jurist means
that when a wage-slave is worn out in
the capitalists mills, mines, and fac
tories, and no further profits can be
wrung from his married and broken
life, he should be painlessly eliminated,
that he need not become "a charge
upon the public" or be driven, as a
last resort. to a career of crime.
