Socialism to discredit the work and
reputation of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Sal
ter, Socialist teachers, who taught last
year at Birmingham, but are teaching
this year in Silvana.
The facts of the case are Birming-
ham schools were not closed on Fri
day evening with a rousing entertain
ment, but on Friday afternoon with a
Christmas tree and an entertainment
for the first, second and third grade
pupils, the older grades having been
entertained at party the week prev
ious.
But the Silvana school did close
with a rousing Christmas entertain
ment and two Christmas trees.
The T. U. hall was beautifully deco
rated for the occasion. Seventy-five
pupils participated in the program
which consisted of songs, plays, reci-
tations and drills. The costumes worn
in the plays were elaborate and
uulQue. AL ShJOy dDlc lCdIuiO VI IhS
program was the five excellent selec-
lions given by the Silvana band. The
program lasted over two hours, after
which the pupils and all children under
school age were each presented with
a Christmas box of candy and nuts,
also oranges and apples. After the
children were served the entire audi
ence was treated to oranges, apples
and candy The hall was filled to its
utmost capacity, four outlying school
districts being represented.
Last year the Birmingham school
closed for the holidays with a rousing
program. But files of the daily press
fail to record that event.
Why not, if a comparison of the
schools was necessary, state that the
Silvana district employed a third
teacher last September at the begin
ming of the school year, and now have
plans under way to add two more
rooms to the present school build
ing?
To insinuate that Birmingham be-
came progressive after the Salters
left the place and Silyana began to
retrogress was the petty spiteful
motive for furnishing the Everett Her
aid with an odorous reflection on the
Silvana school, whose principal and
first assistant are Socialists.

WILL YOU DO IT?

We ask you, comrades, to study the
Commonwealth advertising columns.
Be on the alert for new advertisers
commodities not hith-
erto represented in our paper. Make
this part of the work a study. It does
not cost you cent, and it helps the
cause wonderfully by making our
propaganda paper valuable as an ad-
vertising medium. There is no work
for the cause more important than the
support of our Socialist press.

blames God for a slide that struck a
train, and therefore refused to grant
damages for those killed. so all you
can do is to reform and be careful
when you travel. Every victim that
lands in the penitentiary is there be-
cause he didn't wear out his overalls
praying to God, so God punished him
by making it so he couldn't make a
living unless he would steal, and then
caused him to get punished because
he stole This mans efforts are a
sample criterion in fact by which we
may safely estimate all reform move
ments. By reform l mean to refer
to those impulsive outbursts of mis-
directed energy, applied to efforts
which are based upon nothing con-
crete, nothing that can produce last
ing results to society.
From the editorial comment it ap-
pears that he is not so blinded by his
economic interests as many men in
his position, for he evidently sees that
economic conditions, as we have it
today, are not so rosy that every hon
est, willing man can make good, but
that many are victims of an unjust
social status which produces fruit of
it's own kind.
We have had twenty centuries of
soul saving, but very little has been
done to make soul saving unnecessary.
1t is to be hoped he will slip in lit
tie mental dynamite more often, even
if the public does demand soft soap.
Reform never did anything, it is
merely a whitewash to cover up de-
caying spots. Reform never changed
anything, it wants to keep old and
'outgrown usages in vogue, and bolst-
er up a tottering regime with weak
props. Reform is the unscientific slo-
gan of the Go Easy Club, whose stock
of goods consists of mild applications
of very harmless salves, which they
apply to the exterior of a deep rooted
cancer to allay the immediate suffer
ing Qf possible) but never does the
homeopathic remedies of the reform
ers get below the surface and attempt
to find the cause that produces an
effect.
Why not tell Mr.. Osborne, or any
other reform crusader who is imbued
with a desire to investigate, that If
they would imprison themselves for
while in the mines, mills, factories
and sweat shop bells that destroy in
dividuality, and study the causes for
crime, immortality or any social aber-
rance, they would find something
which evidently has never percolated
into the cerebrum of the parlor re-
formers. That discovery would be the
strangely abstruse proposition that
effects are produced by causes"
Strange anomaly, isn't it? Yet re-
formers persist in trying to cure so
cial evils by pattering around doctor
ing the results.
Let us cut out the cancer that has
its ramifying roots imbedded ia our
social body. That could not be ac-
complished by reform; only social re-
volution can solve the problem, but
the sound of that strange phase, $50
oial revolution" sounds TO the reform
or like hell had broke loose.

TAKING A TRIP TO JAIL
Comrade r. G. McMurry Edits "P.-
l." Editorial.

A recent editorial in the Seattle p
I. calls attention to the fact that while
Mr.. Osborne, prison expert of New
York, entered Auburn penitentiary to
find out just what prison life is, he
after all fell short of a true convict
experience.
To quote the editorial verbatim:
According to the convict paper,
Good Words printed at the federal
prison at Atlanta, Ca, Mr.. Thomas
Mott Osborne's sojourn at Auburn did
not carry the investigator beneath
the surface of prison conditions.
Something of the physical phases
was revealed, but he experienced none
of the real subjective life of the con-
vict. Osborne's hardship was self i'm
posed, but it carried no degradation,
nothing of the cold sneers of the world
could reach him. Instead, there were
plaudits for his willing 'martyrdom.'
"And this is the point. He was not
a convict, and could feel none of the
convict's remorseful emotions, nor of
his resentful ones, either. Both have
a bearing on the future of the man
who has served time.
"Mr. Osborne could get all these by
losing his money, going broke, making
unsuccessful attempts at getting job,
go differing to keep alive, and finally
stick up a pedestrian or burglarize
building and draw a real term.
"While it is hardly likely that he
would do anything so heroic, the pro-
cess would no doubt give him a deep
er affinity with the actual convict,
an insight into that creatures mental
operations which would have positive
value in reforming the worlds attl-
tude toward the man who has served
time.
Jail reform is humanitarian, but
there has been whole lot of Jail re-
form in recent years, with no change
for the better outside the jail. To put
a man in prison and there regenerate
him is not half so hard a problem as
keeping him better after he is out
again. If a trip to Jail could reform
the attitude of the world toward the
jailbird it would be worth while
we'll worth while"
The above article is an editorial
from the Post-Intelligencer of Novem-
Der 8. The editors comment on the
voluntary Imprisonment undergone by
Mr.. Thomas Mott Osborne, is enc or
the best editorials seen in a capitalist
paper for several moons.
Mr.. Osborne in order to learn some
thing about the psychological effect
of prison life upon the unfortunate
inmates, spent some time as a pris-
oner and it is a safe venture that he
came out with very little enlighten-
ment as to the real conditions in the
prison, and being a prison reformer,
Mr.. Osborne doubtless knows as lit
tie of the causes that put those men
where they are as the average social
reformer knows about the causes for
crime and how TO cure the cause.
Reformers are a queer bunch who
insult their God by blaming him for
