RUSSELL SAYS BIG
BUSINESS HAS ADDED
Control of Moving Pictures to It's
Equipment.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 20
At a recent session of the National
Popular Government League in this
city, Charles Edward Russell made a
talk in which he charged that the
magazines are now quite thoroughly
under the control of the system He
included also moving pictures in the
systems control, and expressed a
gloomy outlook as to methods for let
ting the people know how their liber-
ties are being taken from them. Dis
cussing the magazine situation he
spoke of two prominent former disci-
pies of the expose who, since their
magazine was taken over, are devoting
themselves to spreading the gospel of
contentment, and explaining how big
business is now really operating al
most exclusively along the lines of the
Golden Rule.

SOCIETY FORMS TO FIGHT
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT LAW

NEW YORK, Jan. 19,-An anti
capital punishment society has been
Incorporated for the purpose OF abol-
ishing capital punishment In New York
state.
Some of the members OF this so
ciety are prominent public men and
women, who have for n long time agi-
tated that life Imprisonment be sub
stituted for the barbarous death pen
atty,
The results of recent election
were. George Foster Peabody, presi'
dent; Jacob II. Schiff, Bishop David
II. Greer, Rabbi Stephen $. Wise
Mrs. II. Fairchild Osborn, Rabbi Jacob
Goldstein and Thomas Mott Osborne,
warden of Sing Sing prison, vice presi'
dents; Miss Joanna Gleed Strange,
secretary
Miss Strange stated that the mem
bers of the society maintained that
capital punishment is not only wrong
In principle, but unfair to the indivi'
dual. and that It injured the public,
The society will make a great effort
to persuade the legislature to modify
the law so that capital punishment
might be abolished.

A LEADER OF THE PEOPLE

"a Leader Of the People," as used by
Gertrude Breslau Hunt in a eulogy of
Eugene V. Debs.)
We want to greet our elder brother
here,
Lover Of men, thinker, doer, seer.
He comes with word wherein the
whole worlds gladness shall be
heard.
A hero who desires not any throne,
But would build the comrade kingdom
stone by stone.
That kingdom that is greater than our
dream,
Breaking through ancient darkness
CLEAN by CLEAN
Thrilled by the cosmic oneness, he
doth rise,
Youth in his heart and morning in his
eyes.
While glory fallen from the far-off
goal
Hath set mysterious splendor on his
soul.
Not all the fiends that curse in the
eclipse
Can shake his heart or hush his pro-
phet lips
Tho every leaf were tongue to cry
ssYOu muStfv
He would not say the unjust thing is
Just.
His cry for justice it doth stir the
stones
From hills black granite to the seraph
thrones.
He is most calm and reverent and
strong,
And carries in his words the fire of
He brings a hope unto these weary
men,
A hope to make the heart grow young
again.
He sends call to comrades scattered
and afar,
Fear not, we cannot fail, our vision
shall prevail
Truth is the eternal good which sure
and fast,
Through death and hell holds onward
to the last"

WORKERS MURDERED AT
RAILROAD DEPOT IN
NEW JERSEY

A bunch of murderers wearing
deputy" badges ruthlessly attacked a
crowd of unarmed strikers at Roose-
welt, N. j., Tuesday, killing one on
the spot and filling a number of 9TH
ers with more or less buckshot. Steven
Dodd, a wage-slave, So years of age,
has so buckshot in his back and a
revolver wound.
Street Commissioner Crane, testi-
flying at the inquiry Immediately held,
said the strikers were unarmed and
were attacked by the deputies. The
police officers, the prosecuting attor-
ney said, agreed with the strikers that
the deputies began the firing, pursuing
the strikers into the marshes.
The strikers voted for the same
political representatives as did the
owners of the American Agricultural
& Chemical Co., and also the blood
thirsty deputies. Having voted for
buckshot it is no more than poetic
justice that they got what they voted
for, They wouldn't vote for the Social
lists candidates, because they wanted
something now" They got it.

Tribune WrongAgain

Those Socialists who believe that
editors of capitalist organs really
know what Socialism Is and what its
demands are, but hide their light
under n bushel basket. offering their
mind and pen for n price, in a sort of
intellectual prostitution, as an unfor-
tunate victim of capitalism offers her
body, may have to abandon their posi-
ton. We believe that the average
editor on profit-mongering sheet Is
sincerely ignorant OF the essential
aims and philosophy Of Socialism,
Just ms are most college professors,
and all capitalist politicians. WE
HAVE YET TO COME INTO PER
SONAL CONTACT WITH A NON-SO.
CIALlST WHO THOROUGHLY UN-
DERSTOOD SOCIALISM. WE AID.
NIT OF NO SINGLE EXCEPTIONS
The foregoing statements are not
made with the intent to convey the
idea that If man or woman thor
oughly understood the Socialist philo-
sophy and economics, he or she would
thereupon become an avowed Social
list. A closed mouth might be the re-
suit. Glass interests, or economic de-
terminism," might come forcefully
into play. But of those indiscreet
enough to write about or talk about
Socialism who are not themselves So
cia1ists, every single one shows clear
ly either that he does not know what
he is talking about, or else that he is
a mental prostitute. We prefer to
take the more charitable view.

does not deal with the origin and ma
ture of capital" it is not "Socialistic. "
Given the present system of CAPT
tallsm and wage slavery, supported
by the terrible, unintelligent majority,
the capitalist should be permitted to
do what he pleases with 'his" CAPT
tai. 1t our undistinguished contem-
porary believes that the said capital
belongs of right to its holder, or pos
SCISSOR, then he has no legal or moral
right to dictate to the owner as to
what he should do with it. 1t would
certainly be wholly contrary to the So.
cIalist philosophy and teaching to in
terfere with mans honestly acquired
property. What a man really earns
belongs wholly and unqualifiedIy to
him, and 1t would be anything but
"Sociaiistic" for anyone else to rob
him of it, even though the confisca-
tors needed 1t in their business. Bear
your sins and confiscatory morals on
your own shoulders, brother, and don't
The Washington socialist. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1914-1915, 1915-01-21
NOT "SOCIALISTIC"

Please, Mr. Editor, an enactment
that would compel the capitalist to
lend his money to those that would
invest it" might be 'the thing" all
right, as you say; we don't know about
that; BUT 1T WOULD NOT BE
"SOCIALISTIC." 1t would be the
antithesfs of Socialism. And il there
is any noun that would carry it
farther away, we mean that.
The Tribunes proposal violates the
principles of Socialism by suggesting
that money that is used as an invest
meDt i. e., for extracting rent, inter-
est, or profit, or any proposal to OBJ
tain money for the purpose of secur-
ing unearned income, for making
money breed, as it were, could be
"Socialistic," in any way Socialism
Is opposed to rewarding any indivi-
dual or group of profit mongers for
owning something.
We Socialists propose to reward a
man only for producing wealth, or for
doing socially necessary work Gnclud-
ing the production of beautiful as well
as Of useful things.) We shall stead
lastly refuse to urge any man to
lend his money to those that would
invest it" in something that can be
used to gouge some one else out of
any part of the product of his labor
If the people need new building,
bridge, fire department, school or fac
tory, let them build IT on their o.vn
credit. Their c7edit is good with
themselves, only some of them don't
know it. If they're just daft on pay
ing themselves interest, rent or profit
on their own property, why let them
go ahead and do it. One can't rob
oneself by taking money out of one
pants pocket and placing it in the
other.
Socialism does not contemplate
compelling ''the capitalist to lend his
money" under any circumstances;
cause these "ain't goin' to be no
capitalist" to lend it.
Again: Socialists are not concerned
with what a capitalist does with the
money in his possession; what we're
interested in is, how the capitalist
gets the money. If he earns it by use
full labor or social service las doctor,
architect, engineer, etc., then what
he gets is wages, not profit, rent, or
interest. He is paid for what he does,
not for what he owns, If the problem

My dear Mr.. Shipley:
am secretly collecting data and

punishment, with view to having a
bill introduced in our next legislature
abolishing the capital punishment My
attention was called to your article
on the subject in the American Law

must say that this was the most thor
ough and complete discourse on the
subject that / was able to get hold
of, and therefore / want to get in
touch with you hoping that you may
be able to further aid me in the cause.
Did you know that r. l. has rein
stated capital punishment? They
claim that the rate of homicides in
Maine and r. /. is much greater than
that of other northeast states. What
do you suppose causes it? Did, to
your notion, abolishing of the death
penalty have anything to do with it?

AN EXAMPLE IN POINT

AS an example of how a capitalist
editor will put his foot in his mouth
so to speak-when opening his heat
to talk on or about what he calls so
cialism," or "Socialistic," we quote
the following misconception from the
Morning Tribune of last Friday:
Thomas Edison, metaphorically
standing in the ashes of his great
factory, pulls the switch and
turns this upon the country:
1T has surprised me to see how
Americans have become weak
kneed over this war. They seem
to be stricken with sort of COM
mercial paralysis. They ought to
get out and do something; now is
the opportune time"
OF course Mr.. Edison directs
this impeachment only at those
that have money. Those that
haven't the money always have
been eager to build OF make other
investments but couldn't. What
the country needs is to reverse
the case. A socialistfc enactment
that would compel the capitalist
to lend his money to those that
would invest it would be the
thing"
The Washington socialist. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1914-1915, 1915-01-21

The states which do least to re-
move the causes of crime are pre-
cisely those which insist upon reten-
ton of capital punishment for a num-
Der of crimes for which their own neg
ligence and cruelty are responsible.
Let the causes remain; punish the
Victims" should be the motto of all
who advocate retention of the death
penalty in their penal codes.
The Washington socialist. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1914-1915, 1915-01-21

try to shift the burden onto the backs
of the Socialists. When we begin our
confiscatory processes, it will not be
dazzling with money some one al
ready has, but with the means where
by one man grows rich off of the
sweat of his neighbours face. Our de-
cree will be like that of Eden; we
shall say to the capitalist then, Gin
the sweat of thine own face shalt thou
eat bread" We shall not give a d.
what he does with his money
