SUCCESSFUL PICNICS.

The Socialists of Snohomish county
added one more to their list of success

at Edmonds. The two boats chartered
carried capacity crowds. The weather
which in the morning was rainy and
threatening, became ideal about 1920,
and during the day remained beauti-
full The crowd was enthusiastic and
happy. The Edmonds comrades hav-
ing made every preparation, there was
little to be done beside dispose of the
refreshments, all of which We're used
up. The speakers were Comrades
Mccullough, Olinger, Flora Bartlett,

vailed and the war situation was an
alyzed and thoroughly discussed A
strong anti-war resolution was offered
and unanimously adopted
Much propaganda work was done,
and the crowd went home at night

Disinterested Citizens Visit Bould-
er Creek and the Sultan River
ALSO THE PRESENT FROG POND

The very first important move made
by the two newly elected city com
missioners, Comrade ], NJ, Salter COM
missioner of public works, and Mr..
w. H. Clay, commissioner of finance,
was to invite a number of disinterest-
ed Kittens to visit with them the two
pIates that have been championed by
various persons and organizations as
suitA ble sources for Everett's water
supply.
Commissioner Salter invited Com
rade R. D, Hodgins to accompany the
three commissioners, and a party OF
citizens representing various business
interests in Everett, on a tour of in
vestigation, visiting Boulder creek, the
Sultan river and the pond that now
serves as a source of drinking water
for the people of this city.
AS Comrade Hodgins has had some
years of experience in engineering
work, and is acquainted with the sea-
sonar HOW OF water III the iiNSAS VI
this region. considerable weight at
taches to his opinion in this matter.
1t may be added that the gentleman
who accompanied the three commits
sioners to the proposed power sites
can not justly be suspected of having
any undue bias in favor of one or the
other sources of water supply. Their
report may be accepted as fair and
unpreiudiced, as each member of the
visiting party has exactly the same in
terest in securing an abundance OF
pure water for Everett as has any
other citizen who will be obliged to
drink it. Also, they each have an
equal interest in seeing to it that the
water secured shall be sufficiently
abundant to furnish adequate power
for a municipal electric plant
1t will be seen that Comrades Salter
and Hodgins are in perfect agreement
with the entire visiting party. An
unanimous report from such body OF
men. representative of such varied in
terests. cannot but be accepted as con-
elusive.

The Truth About Everett's
Water Supply
Representative Citizens and City Com
mssloners Report on Selection Of
Source of Water Supply.

mssioners Report on selection or
Source OF Water Supply.
Everett. Wash, Sept s, 1914.
To the Citizens of Everett:
We, the undersigned residents and
taxpayers of Everett, desire to make
public the results of our tour of in
vestigation to Boulder creek, the Sui
tan river, and the present source of
water supply to the city of Everett.
On invitation of the city commits
sioners, we left Everett for Boulder
creek on the morning of August 26,
and visited the Boulder creek region
advocated by some as a suitable
source Of water supply for the city of
Everett, both for ordinary uses and
for an electric power plant.
Upon investigation we found that
while the flow of water at this season
would be ample for ordinary uses for
city OF some $4,000 inhabitants, it
would be wholly inadequate for a
power plant even for Everett's present
population. Moreover, the supply
would be much diminished during the
months of September and October, and
practically dries up during December
and January of some years.
On August %, we visited the Sultan
river, and found there supernatural
ance of pure water, capable of supply
ing an adequate supply, for both ordi-
nary and power purposes, for city OF
several hundred thousand inhabitants,
or more. In fact, the natural features
of the canyon are of such a character
that dam could be built, at rela-
lively low cost. which would increase
the reserve supply almost indefinitely.
The committee also visited the
source of the present supply woods
creek, and found the conditions very
unsatisfactory, both as to quality and
quantity of water One of the visitors
aptly characterized the damed-up
water as frong-pond, owing to the
green skum which has gathered at the
outlet.
Any citizen of Everett who should
visit Woods creek will become fully
convinced of the imperative need of
immediate action in this matter of Sc
curing a pure water supply for the
city of Everett.
iAll things considered, we confident
" recommend the Sultan river in pref
erence to Boulder creek as source
of water supply TO this growing city.
Respectfully submitted by,
B. r. STONEHOUSE,
JOHN j. CLARK,
R. D. HODGINS,

my Side Is Losing: My
Side---Humanity!"

Go to it brothers of the finny tribe
This blonde haired boy made fish
hooks in Sheffield shop. The fellow
bobbing over there wove nets to snare
our kind. Our turn has come at last.
The fingers, toes and ears are for the
little ones. The limbs and trunks be-
long to us, the sharks, and may the
crawlers clean the bony frames.
A glorious victory. The enemy lost
10000 men. Our own losses are
trifling, only 10000.
A million mothers kneel in prayer.
million rosaries tremble in faded
hands. A million hearts cry up to
heaven. O, God, not mine, not mine.
Fool mother, forget yourself, your
sorrow and your boy. The organ
peals forth the TIE Deum. The chimes
ring out the victory. Your son died
for God, for kaiser, for vaterland, for
king and glory. The buzzards tear
the cheeks you kissed, two bleeding
stumps are where the hands were that
you fondled. The crows are picking
the CLASSY eyes in whose blue depths
you once beheld the joys of heaven.
To me there is no victory. I see
not Germans, Frenchmen, Russians or
Britons. I see but men and brothers.
My side is losing; my side-humanity
And all that's vile and low and tbrut-
ish is coming back to curse the world
anew.
The beasts we thought we had
buried long ago, the tigers, sharks,
apes and the hyenas again make their
abode in human breasts.
I see the best that mankind has ac-
complished, the acquisitions of the
10000 years, lost in this thrice cursed
war.
I see no victory in the hellish car
nival of blood and iron, this satur-
MALTA of greed and stupidity, and I
have but one hope and that is that
war itself may bleed to death and be
buried with every crowned head OF
Europe under an avalanche of bayo-
nets
Until then let buzzards, crows and
earthworms cry, "Victory!"

long ago. When Russian Socialist is
sent to Jail or Siberia, his comrades
take his place in the fight instead of
stopping to pass resolutions on his
martyrdom When Karl Liebknecht
went to Jail for attacking militarism
the German Social-Democrats did not
stop fighting to hold protest meetings
They redoubled their campaign upon
war to such effect that when Lieb-
Inecht came out of Jail he could strike
harder blows than ever without being
arrested again.
An injury to one is truly the con-
Germ of all Protest we must against
every outrage, but most of all against
the constant outrage of capitalism
everywhere. But our protest must be
something more than bursting paper
bags filled with wind. Resolutions
have little connection with revolutions
even though the words sound and look
alike.
Democratic, disciplined mass action
is the only really revolutionary thing
today. The task of the movement is
not to hold war dance and proclaim
hostilities, but to recruit and drill the
army, and there is much more need of
privates than of drummers.-American

HYSTERIA MAKES POOR HIS
TORY.
(By A. NJ. Simons.)


Socialism is the antithesis of sensa-
tionalism.
Socialism is evolutionary and con-
structive. Its work is the building of
a new society in the midst of the old,
the organization of an army drilled
and disciplined, ready not only to in
wade and capture but to reconstruct.
For seven years there has been a
tendency to make of the Socialist
party a salvation mob rushing to the
rescue of the latest victim of capitalist
outrage. We have protested over
much and propagated Socialism too
little
Capitalism may be depended upon to
furnish the outrages just as long as
Socialists will spend their energies in
protesting, and by one of those para
doxes frequent in social evolution, the
more energy spent in denunciation of
abuses the less protection built up
against the system that produces
abuses.
Colorado is calling for more scream
ing denunciation today than seven
years ago. But if the energy expended
in screaming at Colorado horrors had
been spent in educating Colorado vot-
ers and in organizing an effective So
cialist party such horrors would be
impossible.
Getting hysterical over each separ-
ate outrage is falling into the capital
list trap. 1t is accepting the capitalist
philosophy of many separate social
problems. 1t is admitting that the
point of attack is upon the countless
horrors of capitalism and not upon the
horror of capitalism itself.
Capitalism will not be transformed
into Socialism in spots. The place to
fight the class struggle is here and
now, wherever here and now" may be
for each group of workers
Organizing a Socialist local and
drilling it's members in the technique
of fighting the battles of their class
puts fewer heroes on the front pages
of the capitalist press than street
riots, shrieking speeches and procla-
nations of defiance, but helps much
more in building up an effective re-
sistance to the things against which
riotings, shrieking and proclamations
are directed.
The Socialist movement is not a
gathering of "sob sisters" but an army
of fighters and workers. It is not or
gained to keep individuals out of Jail
but to take the whole working class
out of an industrial hell.
Other nations learned this lesson

WAGE LABOR A COMMODITY

is for Sale on open Market.
e recent discussions in congress
O the Clayton antitrust bill brought
il prominence the long disputed
qus son, SIS labor commodity"
P bperly put, the question would be,
SIS fabor-power commodity"
The MARKHAM economist unhesitat-
ingly declares that labor, or rather
labor-power, is commodity, to be
bought in the open labor market, just
as the merchant buys electric power,
potatoes, sugar, or what not. And the
price of labor-power is determined in
the same way as is the price of other
commodities.
The wage-worker is the owner of a
certain vital force called ENERGY, his
own body being both water power
(motor power, dynamo, and trans
hitting system. He is also the ma
chinery of manufacture; or at least an
Important adjunct to the whirring
steel wheels, turner's, saws, planners,
etH by which saleable products are
Manufactured.
Bat if labor-power is commodity it
is also PROPERTY, and if it is prop
erty, it is subject to the provisions of
the Sherman antitrust law, which it
is the purpose of the Clayton amend
ments to clearly define and limit. If
labor, or, properly speaking, labor
power, is merchandise, a commodity,
then a labor union is an association
or monopoly in restraint of trade, and
the Sherman antitrust law can be in
voked by the capitalist class, purchas-
ers of labor-power, to forbid the ex-
istence and operation" of both labor
unions and farmers unions, as "illegal
combinations or conspiracies" in re-
straint of trade. Hence the revival Of
interest in what formerly was consid-
cred a mere academic question, of in
terest to political economists and So
cialist students only.

capital and labor'O have urged with
a great show of reason that the theory
of labor as a commodity is obsolete,
and "has been utterly abandoned" etc.
The Clayton antitrust bill passed both
houses of congress on this contention.
AS a matter of fact, however, labor
power is commodity, and no argu-
ment or facts were brought forth dur
ing the recent discussion to refute this
fundamental fact of MARKHAM econom-
les
What was brought out during the
controversy was simply this: O
That certain elements of the capitalist
class needed some curb put upon their
rapacity and despotism; (2) and that
if it were publicly admitted that labor
power is a commodity to be purchased
in the labor market just as one buys
spuds or cord wood, then it becomes at
once apparent to even an iyory-headed
old-party voter that the wage-laborer
is wage-slaVe, just as the truculent
Socialists contend.
So labor had to be cajoled, dignified,
appeased a little, la First Monday in

And the Clayton bill became law, per
hitting laborers and farmers to organ
ize in unions without being subject to
the Sherman antitrust law.

THE SOCIALISTS OF STEVENS
COUNTY ADOPT STRONG
RESOLUTIONS INST
WAR.

Whereas, the present European war
was brought about by the ruling pow
ers and is maintained by them in the
interest of the great oligarchy' of
wealth which today controls the gov
eminent of all civilized nations; and
Whereas, the interest of such oil
garchy is in direct conflict with the
interest of producers of wealth; and
Whereas, the sentiment of such pro-
ducers is unalterably opposed to waste
and cruelty necessarily involved;
therefore,
We, the Socialists of Stevens coun-
ty, Washington, in mass meeting as
sembled, do hereby offer our protest
against such war and extend our SYM
pathies to the working classes in Eu-
rope who are risking their lives and
fortunes in the interest of peace, and
to the families and friends of those
comrades who have already given
their lives to the cause. We also de-
mand that the United States govern
ment use its utmost efforts to end this
war at the earliest possible moment
by refusing to allow the Transportation
of food products and other necessar-
les of life to the nations engaged
therein in either American or foreign
ships, and that we oppose the policy
of lending our protection of such traf-
fic by allowing to such nations the
privilege of American registry.
