A LESSON FOR SOCIALISTS
(By w. H. Stackhouse.)

Benjamin Franklin was undoubtedly
one of the most marked characters
this country has ever produced No
man since the establishment of the
first colony on this continent has i'm
pressed his personality on his contem-
poraries as has Franklin. His long
life was one continual success in in
Producing new ideas Of a progressive
nature. This wonderful success should
cause Socialists to study his life and
endeavor to culatiYate the talents that
made him so successful. As a young
man he followed a systematic course
of training with a view Of making
himself efficient in public life. The
following taken from his auto-biog-
raphy is an Illuminating example of
his system and should be carefully
studied and followed out by all So
cialists who are endeavoring to propa-
gate socialist philosophy.
What Franklin Discovered.
My list Of virtues contained at first
but twelve; but a Quaker friend hay
ing kindly informed me that ! was
generally thought proud, that my pride
showed itself frequently in converse
tion that / was not content with being
right when discussing any point, but
was overbearing and rather insOlent,
of which he convinced me by mention
ing several instances, determined to
cure myself if I could, of this vice or
folly among the rest and l added
humility to my list, giving an extern
sive meaning to the word.
/ cannot boast of much success in
acquiring the REALITY of this virtue,
but I had a good deal with regard to
the appearance of it, l made it rule
to forbear all direct contradiction to
the sentiments of others and all posi-
tive assertion Of my own. l even for
bid myself, agreeably to the old laws
of our Junto, the use of every word or
expression in the language that i'm
ported a fixed opinion, such as GER
tainIy, undoubtedly, etc, and adopted

THREE UNWARRANTED BE-
LIEFS.

There are three popular beliefs
which rise like mountain chains across
the trail Of progress The first and
most rock-ribbed is the belief that
things are sacred because they are
old, or, conversely that things are
dangerous because they are new.
"The second is the belief that the
submerged tenth wants to be sub
merged; that It enjoys dark rooms and
revels in filthy alleys; that it gloats
over insanitary plumbing and thrives
upon malnutrition.
"rhe third. no less preposterous, is
the belief that the submerged because
it is degenerate; that the very fact of
remaining submerged is proof conclus-
i've of innate incapacity for improve
ment"-Prof Scott Nearing,
The Washington socialist. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1914-1915, 1914-08-27
PLEDGE AGAINST MURDER.

Brother, here is my pledge to you:
refuse to kill your father. I refuse
to plunge a bayonet into the breast of
your sisters brother. 1 refuse to
slaughter your sweethearts lover l
refuse to murder your wife's husband.
I refuse to butcher your little child's
father. 1 refuse to wet the earth with
blood and blind kind eyes with tears.
refuse to assassinate you and then
hide my stained fists in the folds of
any flag.
viii you thus pledge me and pledge
all the members of our working class?
George Kirkpatrick.

which makes for the Socialist coming
is an intelligence of the heart rather

the intellect an imposter when it is
other than the hearts servant. And it
is time the intellect be put in its
proper place. 1t is time that it be
humbled from it's high pretentions. 1t
is time that the infinitely better wis

action now. We see that in the self

working-class, in it's dynamical SYM

and the fire was lighted before
daylight.
Two medical men with us ex-
amined the feet of the perform
ers, as we'll as their entire bodies,
and found nothing unusual about
them.
There were 10 dancers" and
they wore only breechclouts of
common calico and anklets of
dried fern leaves. which are high
ly inflammable. They also wore
wreathes of the ii tree upon their
heads.
Starting in single file, they
walked slowly and measuredly
across the red-hot stones, chant
ing In a low monotone. They
walked back and forwards In the
heat, showing not the slightest
inconvenience.
One dancer tied a white hand
kerchief to the end of a long bam-
boo pole and held 1t all of two
feet above the red-hot stones. The
handkerchief instantly scorched

find that the same religion still
survives and the same weird, un-
canny ceremonies are being per-
formed today.
l first witnessed the fire-walk-
ing ceremony on the little island
of Pulo Penang, off the west
coast of the Malay peninsula. 1t
was at harvest festival in honor
of the god, Sammi.
In a pit huge fire was burn
Ing. The heat from the fire was
SO intense that we did not attempt
to approach near enough to gath
er any precise idea of its dimen-
sions, but the pit seemed about 10
feet wide and 80 feet long, and
filled with hardwood logs laid
close like corduroy road.
Gradually "a devotees assem-
bled near one end of the fire.
where it seemed to me the heat
was sufficient to destroy an or
binary human being, and we
heard a faint hum OF voices like
q low chant. The natives stand
ing around became as still as sta
tues, and one man deliberately
stepped into the pit and onto the
blazing Goals.
He wore nothing but the ordi-
nary cloth which the poorest class
OF natives wear around their
waists. and he walked through
that fire the whole length of the
pit as unconcernedly as though
he were walking along a country
road.
Each of the other devotees then
took his turn and walked slowly
and unconcernedly through the
fiery furnace without showing the
slightest trace of suffering.
Later, in the Fill islands, 1 saw
the same weird ceremony on the
little island of Mbenga, sacred to
the Fill god. The pit was 4 feet
deep and % feet In diameter,
paved with large, flat stones.
Kindling wood was laid on the
stones and covered with logs to a
height of 10 feet. Many stones

THOUSANDS SPEND
SUMMER AT LAKES

Spirit Lake, July 24.-According to
the advance reports from the publish
ers Of the new directory Of the sum
mer people who own or occupy cot
tages on the shores of Spirit lake or
the Okobojis, there are nearly six hun
dred cottages on West Okoboji, and
not far from two hundred on Spirit
Lake. The number exceeded the esti.
mate by more than hundred.
AS each cottage has at least five oc-
cupants and many have two or three
families living in them 1t is conserva.
lively estimated that the total summer
population will approach six or seven
thousand persons.
The majority of the vacation inhab-
itants are from Des Moines, but Sioux
City, Fort Dodge, and other large cities
of Iowa are well represented Omaha
has large delegation, and Lincoln
sends dozens of its wealthy citizens to
these Iowa lakes and the visitors come
from as far as California.
