A jolly crowd went "joy riding" in

beautiful river, st. Francois. Lunch
was served in natures dining room,
and all sure enjoyed the "eats"-mos-
quitoes not excluded. Songs were
sung around the campfire accom-
panied by the frogs and katy-did-or
didn't. But finally it was time to
return, and the journey homeward
was with out mishap-till the wheel

A fire which might easily have been
the most disasterous that Frederick
town ever experienced was avertcd
Friday morning when n blaze on the
roof of Cohen's store was put out by
prompt and determined work on the

paper and scraps had been put in the

covered but bucket brigade and fire
extinguishers were at once put in ac-

Says Willie Hearst:

"The United States and the men en-
listing and the ships on their way are
going to war with country, for the
conquest of a country, and for the an
nexation and permanent pacification
of that country.
This war is real, it will be final;
the men that have lost their lives and
that will lose their lives will not be
killed merely to put one Mexican bril-
gand above another.
"They will give up their lives glad
ly, knowing that they are ending a
rule OF terror, and of torture, and at
the same time adding to the greatness
and territory of their country and to
the permanent welfare and happiness
OF the land that is to be conquered"
Wouban't it be more sensible for the
workers of this country to conquer
and pacify and acquire the United
States first?

DOES THE NATION MOURN7

During the year 1918. twelve coal
miners were, killed every working day
of the year!
And there were no impressive cere-
monies" over their graves.
Two thousand seven hundred and
eighty-five martyrs to capitalism's
greed! That was the Toll out of 1885,
355 wage-slaye martyrs who went
down into the bowels of the earth to
bring up coal for the monarchs of
Wall street and Broadway.
And the nation will not mourn.
There will be no spectacular process
sion, led by the president and the
members of his cabinet No flags will
hang at half-mast, in honor of these
victims of capitalism. Why not?
Because their services were invoI-
untary.
They were FORCED into the mines
on pain Of death by starvation, or by
freezing.
But how is it with those who die in
defense Of the nations honor
whatever that is, or wherever it is?
All, that is different THEY must
be CAJOLED into VOLUNTARY servi-
tude in the army or navy. Fifteen
dollars a month and the loss of every
vestige Of personal freedom or indie
pendence is hardly strong enough
bait to catch your individualistic citi
zen of these United States SO they
catch the young and vain with spec
tacular blare of trumpets and an out
ward semblance of respect, to the tune
of Chopin's funeral march.
But there will be no spectacular
ceremonies by the government over
the graves of the hundreds of miners
entombed in the West Virginia mines
nor over the charred remains of the
women and children of stricken Lud
| low.
Patriotism, like charity, should be
gin at home.

in all his plans he asks himself, Can
| get that past Huerta and then can |
get it past the old guard in the senate
led by Senator Root?"
Senator Root received the last Nobel
prize for peace, but he does not want
peace in Mexico until this nation is
permanently established there. He
recently announced that he would not
be a candidate for reelection because
he was not in sympathy with the
present-day tendencies of the people"
If he were at all sincere he would re-
sign, but not only does he not resign
but he is the leader of those big inter
ests that want to conquer and despoil
Mexico against the wishes of all
thoughtful Americans. He has legal
out of sympathy with American aims,
as he himself declares, he has no
moral right to his seat in the senate.
Real Sources of War News.
All keen observers of public affairs
who are hoping for the success of the
presidents peace policy, look not to
Huerta as the greatest obstacle to
peace but to clique of United States
senators led by the sharpest mind this
nation ever produced, Elihu Root of
New York. The president is directing
all his skill against them and the real
fight for peace and for justice to Mexi-
cans is being fought in the City of
Washington. The real war news comes
from the camps situated at each end
of Pennsylvania avenue and the fu-
ture of Mexico depends upon whether
the capital or the White House camp
Is victorious.

CoMRADE J. NJ. SALTER WILL
SOON BE OUT AFTER SUB
SCRIPTIoNS.
Wants to lay Foundation for Socialist
Success in November.

Comrade J. N. Salter was a visitor
to the Washington Socialist last Sat
urday He was in fine fighting trim.
Next week his position as principal of
the Sylvana schools win be thing OF
the past They who don't want any
politics in the schools" have decided
that any teacher who admits that he
is a Socialist shall be excluded from
the teaching force of this Bull Moose
county. If you are not a Republican
or a Democrat or a Bull Mooser you
needn't come around. They who hold
the reins OF political power in this
county are determined that nothing
but capitalist politics shall be taught
in the schools.
So comrades. Mr.. and Mrs Salter
are to be deprived Of the right to earn
a living in their chosen profession in
this county from now on.
Do you wonder that Jim is in dead
earnest about going out after subscrip-
tions for The Washington Socialist?
He knows that the only way to under
mine a social and economic system
which is bolstered up and CLOSED over
with fraud, lies, hypocrisy and brute
force is to attack it with truth, hon
esty, sincerity and the strength that
comes from working in absolute har-
mony with the laws of progress and
the demands of justice.
Look out for Salter, He'll sell you
a subscription card If you don't watch

EXPOSURE OF FALSE CLAIMS
OF PROHIBITION PARTY
is BEING READ WITH IN
TEREST

The fourth article dealing with the
false claims of the Prohibition party
is omitted ON account of lack OF space
These discussions win be continued
for several weeks longer in fact for
as many weeks as may be found neces.
sary to prove that the claims OF our
political opponents are based upon
garbled statistics, often ON mere bald
assertions, and always on an utter
lack of understanding of either the BIZ
illogical or the economic factors in
yolved in the study of the causes and
cure of poverty, crime. insanity, and
drunkenness.
At bottom we are not dealing mere
ly with "the open saloon" question,
but with the disease of iuebriety and
the economic and social conditions
which give rise to the desire for
strong drink The Socialist would re-
move the CAUSES; the Prohibition
lists deal only with EFFECTS.
Drinking is cultivated habit"
says Ex-Governor Patterson in his anti
saloon speech, Abolish the saloon and
society becomes regenerated. Alco-
holism disappears. Our boys" are
saved. ARE THEY?
In future articles we propose to 80
to the very bottom of this drink ques-
ton. and before the series shall have
been concluded, we feel that every
real Socialist will see that the subject
has not been discussed in the Wash
ington Socialist without good reason,
nor without good results.
Many persons in Everett who have
heretofore paid no attention to this
paper are now looking forward to each
weeks issue, many backing up their
aroused interest with a yearly sub
scription.

WILLIE HEARST'S PRIVATE
WAR FOR PELF.

The New York Evening Journal
Hearst's paper, less than two weeks
ago printed drawing showing dead
American sailor and under it these
words: "He did not die to put Villa
or Carranza in the place of Huerta-
but to place the American flag in
place of the Mexican flag and to ex-
tend our boundary south" And, edit
orally, the same issue says: What
is Mexico now, will be the United
States then" (when the war" is
over, "and the work will not have
to be done over again" And then
there is this comment: "The day is
not far distant when Mexicans and
Americans will unite in rejoicing that
the war is over, the boundary line
wiped out and Mexico made part OF
this country"

SEEKS MISSING HUSBAND.
Woman Applies to Police for Aid in
Seeking Spouse Who Disappears.

Mrs. Joseph Korbel, a child wife, re-
siding at 164 Edwards street, this
morning applied to the police for aid
in searching for her husband who has
been missing from Kenosha for two
weeks. Shedding bitter tears the lit
tie woman, who is but nineteen years
of age, declared to the police that her
husband had left their home presum-
ably to go to work and that she had
seen or heard nothing from. him since
Mrs. Korbel has no relatives in Keno
sha and she has been seeking to secure
support for herself and a seven months
old child. She is in poor health and
the disappearance of her husband has
left her in sad plight. The police
have made a search for Korbel, but
have not been able to get any trace of
him and it is thought probable that he
left the, city. Mrs. Korbel is said to
have been the daughter of well known
people in Hungary and it is possible
that arrangements will be made to
send her back to her parents.
