GREAT VICTORY IN Bull
CARA.

One of the greatest victories gained
by the Socialists in any country in the
world has been secured by our Bull
garian comrades.
Thirty-seven Socialist members have
been returned to the national parlla-
ment, compared with one Socialist at
the last election. In addition to that
they have elected approximately 1900
municipal officers.
The Socialists of Bulgaria are di-
vided into two sections, the construc-
twists and the radicals, each putting
up their own candidates. The former
elected q members and the latter 16.
In addition to the Socialists, there
has also been elected AZ Agrarians,
representatives of newly-formed
peasants league. They are exceeding
ly radical, many of the leaders openly
espousing Socialism, and it is expected
they will vote soldly with the Social
lists.
The parties which were responsible
for the late Turkish war have been
practically wiped out of existence.
They are the conservatives, who elect
ed only five members, and the progress
sives, who elected one member. The
liberals, who support the government,
returned 95 members. In addition to
these, the democrats secured fourteen
seats and the radicals five. The pres
ent government has only 101 support
ers against 100 opposition votes, I'M
less they are able to win over the
democrats and the radicals and some
of the peasants.
Much of the success of the elections
is due to the financial aid given the
parties by the Socialists of other ma
tons. The war had so devastated the
country that had it not been for this
the Socialists would not have been
able to hold their forces together to
wage a campaign.

PEACE TREATIES UTTERLY
WORTHLESS, SAYS
TEDDY.

+ In his speech at Hartford, Conn,
August Is, Theodore Roosevelt can
didly admitted that when friendly
Christian nations solemnly sign treat
les of arbitration such documents are
not worth the paper they're written
on. In the scramble for profits and
power selfish interests alone hold
sway. Says he:
within a fortnight we have had
fresh proof of the utter worthlessness
of treaties, Of names signed to pieces
of paper, unless backed by force, if
power or interest demands this viola
tions. This fact has been demonstrate
ed again and again within the last
dozen years by almost every one Of
the great nations who are now en-
gagged in this war, or who stand with
their armies partially modified and
their fleets gathered because Of the
possibility of being drawn into it.
"These proposed arbitration treaties
of ours would not be worth the paper
on which they were written if it be-
came to the interest of any great mill
tary power to violate them and if it
| thought it could violate them with
Iimpunity."
Right you are, Teddy!
So long as the capitalist system en-
dures, the sword of Damocles hangs
over every nation. Peace and happi-
ness will come only with the abolition
of rent, interest, and profit, and the
Inauguration of industrial democracy,

The latest report (from Germany

All we can say is that the assertion
comes from Germany, and the report
may have been purchased by buying
off the press correspondent. 1t may
be merely part of the plan to arouse
sympathy for the kaiser in this coun-

and enterprise, ambition, etc, as
proper ingredients when mixed I'D in
a wage slaves brain. Such compounds
are only safe when in the large and
resourceful Uranium of business men.
A safe and sane, patriotic brain like
that possessed by our best citizens
does not stir up strife with the work
Iers. 1t stirs up dividends, profits, and
then some If the workers brain OBJ
jects to lower wages or longer hours.
Iit results in strife and industrial un.
rest. Not because the working condi-
tons, hours, pay, etc. are not the best
that any sensible, docile wage-slave
could ask for, or reasonably hope for;
but along comes a cartoon, or an agi-
tator, and away goes the whole erst-
while satisfactory adjustment.
Mr.. Glbsons Remedy.
Mr.. Gibson's remedy was very
simple, though somewhat complex
Here 1t is, in brief:
Abolish freedom of the press-let
the exploiters of labor regulate"
them.
Bar all members Of the working
class from Iegislatures-by electing
business men only.
Abolish the right of the working
class to have a vote on who shall or
who shall not sit on judicial benches
leave this prerogative to the bosses.
There you have a successful bust
ness mans view of what industrial
and political policies should be pur-
sued to hold the workers in subjec-
ton
If Mr.. Rockefeller wants to have
agents hired to shoot down the I'M
armed wives and children of the work
ers, the said wage-slaves should not
offer them any protection. Guns and
violence and resistance to outrage and
murder are master-class prerogatives.
For a wage-slave to buy a rifle and
protect his wife and babes Herewith
is heinous offense against the
bosses prerogative to shoot and burn
any workers he d pleases; or to
have them shot.
Mr.. Gibson's views are typical of his
class.
