ONE CONSERVATIVE
PAPER WAKES UP

This nation assuredly, if it is wise,
will drop the theory that life here pre-
sents unbounded opportunities for
comfort and happiness to all the citi-
zens of the United States. 1t no long
er does, if it ever did. 1t leaves A
large part of It's workers dependent
upon fixed standards of pay ard if
those standards do not permit of com
fcrt and security, there is no escape
for the persons governed b. them"
This sounds like an extract from
some extremely radical speech or writ
ing But it is nothing of the sort. 1t
is from an editorial in the staid and
conservative Chicago Tribune of July
IS. And it states a fact that staid and
conservative papers have heretofore
ignored or denied, because one cannot
defend things as they are, without 50
doing,
The Tribune repudiates the cid fall
lacy that economic conditions in the
United States present opportunities
for employment to all who want them.
And that reputation makes defense
Of existing conditions inexcusable.
The Tribune is right in denying that
all citizens of the United States have
.unbounded opportunities for comfort
and happiness But there is no good
reason why they should not have
them In a country with sufficient
natural resources to support in com
fort the entire population of the world.
why should there be lack of oppor.
tunity to any citizen for comfort and
happiness? Only because to most of
these citizens. the greater part of these
resources are as if they did not ex-
list. They are withheld from use by
| the owners, who are encouraged in
this course by unwise laws.
The Tribune has done well in &C
knowledging the lack of opportunities
1t will nevertheless fail in its duty
should it neglect to go further and
point out the needlessness of this state
Of affairs, and the desirability of re
moving the cause that produces it,

DON'T BE BACKWARD

The more we ask for, the more we
will get.
We ought to know that by this
time
The reason we have been getting
anti-injunction laws, and anti-blacklist
laws, and workmen's compensation
laws, etc, is because we have been
asking for complete Socialism. If we
had merely been asking for anti-in-
junction laws, and anti-blacklist laws,
and workmen's compensation laws.
etc, we would not have got them.
The thing to do is to ask for all we
want. Then, if, when we enter into
a conference mutual concessions are
necessary in order to get together, we
will have more room for concessions.
We will have more left after we
make concessions.
This, it seems to me, is an abundant
reason why we should ask for COM
plete disarmament.
Nor is it logical to say that this is
sort of an immediate demand pro
gram, and therefore we must ask for
only that which we Can reasonably
hope to obtain

WOMEN THE BUYERS

Women are the buyers for their
families; they are therefore the en-
ployers. So if woman demands the
union label on whatever goods she
buys, she forces the shopkeeper to pur-
chase union label goods and to en-
ploy union workmen. In this way she
prevents the horrors of the sweat
shops and child labor, and benefits
the situation of every one concerned.
So it is up to the women to take these
words to heart and act on them, thus
following out the Biblical maxim of
doing unto others as they would be
done by.

When you hear of wholesale murder
the safe kind in this country-look
for the money that is in it. Greed. in
one word, tells the story of the horror
in Chicago. And greed told the story
OF the Triangle disaster in New York
city, where girls were burned alive.
We talk of constitutional government,
but the government that we have ia

Lister Institute, have discovered after
exhaustive experiment at the Com.
piegne military hospital, what thew
claim to be the ideal antiseptic.
The most powerful antiseptic
known to science is hypochlorite of

tissues owing to its acidity and it
does not keep.
This has been remedied by the ad.

On June 18th, 1912, the voters of
Everett, by an overwhelming majority
of 1888 to $40, passed an ordinance
authorizing the city council to secure
data relative to a source of water sup
ply, to prepare plans for bringing
same to the city, and plans for city
distributing system and appropriate
money to cover cost of preparing and
securing such data and plans. The
commissioners elected at the above
named date failed to carry out the pro-
visions of this ordinance and for such
neglect and other failures to carry out
the will of the people were recalled in
July, 1914. The election which fol-
lowed the recall placed Mr.. Clay and
myself in the city council. One of the
first acts of the new council was to
take steps to carry out the provisions
Of Ordinance No. 1909, passed June
18th, 1912.
After much deliberation and many
conferences, to which the public was
welcome, and prominent and repre-
sentative citizens were invited to at
tend, we brought forth the present or
dinance which we submit to the peo-
pie of Everett for their approval or
rejection as they see fit.
Personally, l believe that under the
present capitalistic laws, banking
rules, court rulings, ETC., this is the
best that could have been prepared.
Proposition No. l is for the pur-
chase of the present waterworks.

EDITORIAL NOTE

Many of our subscribers are asking
about the proposed water ordinance
They are undecided as to the way to
vote on the project. Mr.. ]. M. Salter
as member of the city council, helped
frame the ordinance, and is therefore

cordingly, we have asked him to set
forth his views on the action the work

water ordinance.
