IRISH I. L. P. AND THE WAR

The Independent Labor party of Ire
land has issued an appeal to the Irisl
working class in which the followin,
passage occurs:
"All the workers of the world
are like ourselves, beasts of bur-
den to a propertied class, their
lives ordered and ruled for them
by the interests of that class. their
countries stolen from them by the
armed might of the hirelings of
that class in the past, and kept
from them by the superstitions of
law and tradition fostered by that
class in the present. Their suf-
ferings are as our sufferings, their
hopes are as our hopes-we are
all brethren one of another. To
take up arms in anger to kill any
of the poor driven workers of an
other nation at the order of our
rulers is as clearly an act of MUIR
der. an act worthy of Cain, as any
crime of violence ever committed"

WHO THEY ARE

| | think the League was most for
tunate that your term of 10 years of
office had expired leaving you care
free to take up your present noble
work of beating the people-a posi-
ton to which wealthy and honorable
they have been honored by positions
of trust and profit by their fellow
citizens; which fact is clearly demon
strated by finding in the Tax Dodgers
League one eX-postmaster, one state
representative who aspires to be our
next governor, four eX-mayors who
aspire to be men of wealth and in
| fluence, one eX-county auditor who
aspires to be returned by the people
as soon as there is an opening, and
many wealthy and high toned citizens
who aspire to rub against the mighty.
You demonstrated your superior
ability to fill your position by fooling
the people so nicely as to being a
Corporation tool" and after our gang
wins, the people in their JOY and
thanksgiving will give you anything
lyou ask. And with an ex-mayor for
governor of the state who betrays his
home city in the interest of corpora
ton and the old gang firmly seated
in the saddle in Everett, with plenty
of hypochlorited frog-pond water to
drink, the people should all be happy
and contented.
Therefore l ask you, Mr.. Publicity
Agent, to fix up this fool story of mine
smoothly, as you only are capable of
doing. Scare the people on the
poisoning of the Sultan by mining that
will not be done in a thousand years,
no matter how false the premises, and
follow that up faithfully with the in
crease of taxation scare and you'll
win out Thus will you save this
grand water power of the Sultan river
for the honorable men and true who
aspire to become millionaires by rob
heritage, and, of course, the corpora
tion that wins this richest prize in
the state of Washington, being gem
erous hearted, will reward us their
plant tools, and while the poor and
| ignorant people of Everett continue
to drink hogwash water and pay
tribute to our honorable bosses who
possess the genius to rob them, they
will allow us to gather the crumbs
! from under their tables

A Private Letter that
Fell Into Proper
Hands

Sultan Basin, Wash, Aug Is, 1915.
Publicity Agent Taxpayers League,
Everett, Wash;
Dear Sir: AS a Sultan Basin miner
. | am heartily in sympathy with your
noble effort to save this field Of for
| tune from falling into the hands of
the low down people of Everett. But
in order to win victory for the wise
and powerful on August "A, you must
keep up that splendid double scare
of increased taxation and arsenical
poisoning of the Sultan river. Along
that line l have story just as true
and will be more convincing than
anything you have published when
once it is published and improved by
your genius.
own claim 1880 and a mile above
one Joe Digger owns claim 705S0 from
which he is shipping ore on horse
back, which is, as all Sultan ore,
strongly impregnated with arsenic.
Yesterday | met Joe on the trail just
above my place leading his pack mule
loaded with two sacks of ore of so
pounds each. Joe stopped to adjust
his freight and accidentally one of
the sacks slipped off the rocks and
rolled into the river. Immediately
the whole Sultan river began to turn
eli l,
an hour contaminated the stream for
25 miles downward, always down
ward; all the fish became crazy and
deathly sick. Some would have died
but for the fact that all of US miners
in the basin keep on hand large guam
titles of hypochloride of lime to
purify or drinking water, and I ran
to my shack and brought 10-pound
bag which | threw into the river just
The water began to boil and foam
with the purifying process, as it does
in Everett, and the fish recovered
their reason and good health almost
instantly and within half an hour the
Sultan river was itself again.
Now, Mr.. Publicity Agent, this is
only the outline of the best scare
story to catch votes for you fellows at
the coming bond election that was
ever invented. You can polish up,
enlarge, and give it the convincing
tone to catch votes if any man on
earth can

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford. T
lecturer National Farmers Union.

l
The farmer gets more out o1
the fair than anyone else. The
fair to city man is an entertain
ment; to a farmer it is education
Let us take a stroll through the
fair grounds and linger mo-
ment at a few of the points OF
greatest interest. We will first
vaslt the mechanical department
and hold communion with the
worlds greatest thinkers.
You are now attending a con-
gress of the mental giants in me-
chanical science of all ages. They
are addressing you in tongues OF
iron and steel and in language
mute and powerful tell an elo-
quent story of the worlds prog
ress. The inventive geniuses are
the most valuable farm hands we
have and they perform an en-
during service to mankind. We
can all help others for a brief
period while we live, but it takes
a master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light torch
OF progress that will illuminate
the pathway of civilization for
future generations. The men who
gave us the sickle, the binder,
the cotton gin and hundreds of
other valuable inventions work
in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as
time. Their bright intellects have
conquered death and they will live
and serve mankind on and on
forever, without money and
without price. They have shown
US how grand and noble it is to
work for others; they have also
taught US lessons in economy and
efficiency, how to make one hour
do the work of two O, more
have heightened Our lives, multi
piled Our opportunities and taken
toll off the back of humanity.
They are the most practical
men the world ever produced.
Their inventions have stood the
acid test of utility and efficiency.
Like all useful men, they do not
seek publ Ety, yet millions of
machines Sing their praises from
every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in
mute applause of their marvellous
achievements.

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The home is the greatest oontri-
button of women to the world.
and the hearthstone is her throne.
Our social structure is built
around her, and social righteous
ness is in her charge. Her beau-
tiful life lights the skies of hope
and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization.
Her graces and her power are
the cumulative products Of gen
erations of queenly conquest, and
her crown of exalted womanhood
is jewe1ed with the wisdom of
sanity mothers. She has been
a great factor in the glory of our
country, and her noble achieve
nents should not be marred or
her hallowed influence blighted
by the coarser duties of citizen
ship. American chiva1ry should
never permit her to bear the bur
dens of defending and maintain
ing government, but should pre-
serve her unsullied from the al
lied influences of politics, and
protect her from the weighty re-
sponsibilities Of the sordid affairs
Of life that will crush her ideals
and lower her standards. The
motherhood of the farm is our
inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and a
guide to higher life, but direct
ing the affairs of government is
not within woman's sphere, and
political gossip woGld cause hel
to neglect the home, forget to
mend our clothes and burn the
