OREGON LOCAL SUGGESTS
ESTABLISHMENT OF
PACIFIC n. v. PAPER

To the State Executive Committee of
the Socialist Party, State of Oregon:
Dear Comrades: AS it is well
known to every member of the party
in this state, about year ago it was
decided by the membership to start a
weekly Socialist paper in Oregon.
However, this decision has not been
carried out Why this was not done,
is also known to every member in this
state. The locals that voted in favor
of the proposition have not, with few
exceptions, done anything else but
voted.
The state executive committee has
been criticized for not having carried
out the decision and started the pa
per. This criticism should have been
directed to the membership, for it is
impossible to establish even a weekly
paper without the undivided support
of every local and individual member
of the Socialist party in this state.
The present time is, as well as the i'm
mediate past has been, inopportune for
such a task as most of those who
otherwiser would support the pape
are out of work. All these facts
should be taken into consideration.
The future does not look much
brighter for the proposition than the
past has been. But regardless of that
we must not give up the idea of estab-
fishing Socialist paper and making
the enterprise success.
The need for such paper is grow
ing and is as urgent now as 1t ever has
Northwest is in the same plight.
Every city is full of idle workers, who
are eager to know the basic cause for
their misery. We must spread social
istic knowledge now and for that pur-
pose the paper is invaluable.
Not one of these states is able to
start Socialist paper at the present
time alone, althougs every state feels
its need. Therefore, why not try to
concentrate all the financial and other
resources of all these states, as we
would without any doubt be jointly
well able to launch not only Socialist
weekly, but Socialist daily, which
is so urgently needed in the Pacific
Northwest at the present time.
We suggest to the state executive
committee of Oregon to take this mat.
ter up Immediately with the executive
committee of other states, as we are
sure that such a feature would be wei
coined and feasible.
Yours for a Socialist Daily in the
Pacific Northwest.

WHY YOU SHOULD
HELP TO BUILD
YOUR OWN PRESS

Every effort left unmade to build ur
your own working-class press. is gift
to the capitalist class and their press,
The victims OF capitalism far outnum.
Der its beneficiaries. 1t is the high
function of the Socialist press to ex.
pose the inherent brutality and vi.
ciousness OF capitalist-class rule, to
exhibit its essentially predatory ma.
ture and vulgar, degrading aims. Cap.
italism needs the dark mantle of ig.
norance to insure its further exist.
ence. We must turn on our ugly
bourgeois civilization the white light
of Socialist logic, Socialist thought,
Socialist criticism. exposing all the
inward rottenness of what they are
pleased to call Christian civilization.
AS soon as capitalism is fully exposed
it will fall. since il has no strength
nor stability of its own based on merit
and natural fitness for survival Our
parasitical bourgeois civilization de-
rives all its strength and power for
evil by consent of the misgoverned.
That consent is given through isnor-
ance, through inability of the purblind
workers to see the inward viciousness
Of the thing they uphold by their votes
and their (mostIy) unpaid labor.
Will you, reader. help to turn on the
light?
VIII you do all in your power to
help in the upbuilding of the Wash
ington Socialist, so that it may be-
come powerful factor in the class
struggle in Washington? A strong So
cialist paper in community is of far
more avail in the class struggle than
even whole city council composed
of Socialists administering capitalist
class laws. Let us use all our power,
all our forces, and of these the Social
is press stands easily among the very
first and most important.
Come then, let us cast off fooling,
and put by ease and rest,
For the CAUSE alone is worthy till
the good days bring the best.
Come, join in the only battle wherein
no man can fail,
Where whose falleth and dieth, yet his
deed shall still prevail

PORTLAND COMRADES COM
MEND WASHINGTON SOCIALIST
Portland, May 10, 1915.
Washington Socialists,
Dear Comrades:-

Portland, May 10, 1915.
Washington Socialists,
Dear Comrades:-
Please send me bill for the Washing
hon Socialists up to and intending
May 22nd, and / will forward
cash to you. The comrades here
are very much pleased with the
paper, and / really believe that it is
destined to be the paper of the North
west. We are considering increasing
our bundle order to one hundred
(100) per week.
The organization in Portland is in
somewhat the same fix that Seattle
Is in. There is an unaccountable apa-
thy here and it seems to be universal
with the international gone to the
dogs and some of our most promi-
nent leaders declare themselves
avowed nationalists, and with the
arge following they have it practically
divides the movement into two con-
flicting elements, those who follow
Hillquit, Berger, etc.,one with the
proposition that the workers have a
nation before they have class, and
the other of citizen army who can
be patriotic enough to go out and
slaughter other workers so our dear
masters at home can skin us little
more. In this crisis of the movement
what we need more than anything
else is a live scientific revolutionary
paper with no faint or compromise;
THE WASHINGTON SOCIALIST
HAS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUN-
ITY TO MAKE GOOD IF THE COM
RADES WILL ONLY GET BACK OF
IT, PUSH 1T, AND HUSTLE SUBS
AND DO AS THE COMRADES HERE
IN PORTLAND DO, ORDER THEM
BY THE BUNDLE.
With best wishes, / am yours for
international workingclass supremacy.

Prerequisite to Social Revolu-
ton Says Proletaria Bill
we have voted sufficiently.

we have voted sufficiently.
We have then, denial of the law
of economic determinism (please do
not confuse with immediate material
| interests), also a view of competition
that is obscured by political fanati-
cism which Is just as dangerous to
equilibrium as Is industrial fanaticism
Natural laws and social laws mot

Outstanding Of how they work and do
our work in harmony with them.
Must Organize In Industry--Founda-
ton Of Future Society.
For the workers to be revolutionary,
is to develop the organism that will
be necessary when capitalism Is over
thrown; just as the early capitalists,
struggling with feudalism, were revo-
lutionary when they were developing
the Industrial organism that was nee
essary for capitalism and which reach
ed far greater development after polit-
ical domination was attained by the
capitalist class. How was political
domination reached by the capitalist
class? Was it because the Industrial
basis for the formation of such an
economic class had not ALREADY
formed? What produced that political
revolution anyway? Some evolution
airy process must have been taking
place on the Industrial field among
the sprouting capitalists or such a po-
litical revolution could not have been
determined
We cannot omit the evolutionary
part of revolution because revolution
does not work that way. Evolution fur
nishes the growth which eliminates
in the final stage of revolution.
Now as to the law of economic de-
terminism:
If the industrial development which
brought forth and maintained the cap
italist class in power has determined
the history, politics, institutions and
EDUCATION of capitalism, are we to
suppose for moment that the law of
economic determinism will cease to
operate when the working class goes
ahead with it's industrial development

AS TO A DAILY.

In regard to a daily for the three
states, this should be a matter Of
growth, of Development; first a week
ly of four pages; then a bi-weekly, and
afterwards a tri-weekly. When this
evolution of our press has been at
tanned, the DAILY would have been
all duly prepared for, and virtually

their power. Only in the election of
officials did they still prevail. There
is hope that "working-class" suprem-
acy in speedy revolution will soon
become fact. The party is sound at
the core. mo compromise, no politi-
cal trading" is still its slogan.
Spread the glad tidings among the
thousands of comrades that have be-
come disheartened and discouraged
under the policy that the party adopt
ed at the national convention three
years ago. Back to the firing line, ev-
cry one, and take up with renewed
courage the struggle to make this par
ty of ours in fact and truth as well as
in name the political expression of a
class conscious working class, so that
it may prove equal to the glorious OPP
portunities of tomorrow and TODAY.

A Pertinent Question.

Since the capitalists, with an indus.
trial organism, have had cut-throat
competition with each other for pro.
fits all cannot get, AFTER they had
attained political supremacy as a
class, are the workers, without an in
dustrial organism not also In danger
of continuing their competition with
each other AFTER the workers, as a
class, have attained political suprem-
acy? Are the workers superior to the
capitalists in that sense?
This competition of the capitalists,
since arriving, extends to war itself.
II the workers rid themselves Of the
hell of competition it seems they will
have to thoroughly develop their ev-
ery-day industrial organism without
delay or political supremacy cannot
allay 1t for us any more than 1t could
promptly allay 1t for the capitalists.
The capitalists are not all going to
disappear overnight just because the
workers vote themselves into the
state.
Power is great thing that must de-
velop and grow for the workers, as
no hocus-pocus business will answer
to dispose of capitalism.
Something must be done before we
get too hungry or we perish because
unfit to survive. as a class, through
collective and organized intelligence
applied to the modern tools of pro-
duction.
Whatever economic system grows
over the ruins of capitalism after it
falls will be the matured stage of the
most virile germ Industrial organ

capitalist system of industry and ex-
ploitation.

BLOOD POISON In Worst Form Cured by
 The Peerless
 ALKANO
King of the Blood.

"Alkano Remedy Co.,, Kansas City, Mo. Gentlemen; Three years ago l contracted contagious blood poison.
 ook treatment from our best doctors nave taken the mercury and potash treatment and others. After all or this 140 deep sores came on my body, arms, legs and face. My mouth and throat were so sore I could not eat nor drink. 1 had not eaten one bite for six days and was nearly dead when the agent for Alkano called to see me. took bottle from him, not expect ing to be benefited, and to my sur prise. in a few days my mouth and
 hroat were healed, and I could eat and drink. have now taken Alkano three weeks and the 140 deep sores are all healed up. I have gained AZ pounds in weight; rheumatism all gone; sleep well; can eat six times day. l had stomach trouble when contracted this disease. Alkano has cured that as well as other troubles.
 "Alkano is a sure blood renoyator. Five dollars is cheap for this great remedy I would advise anyone who has blood troubles to try it. Yours very truly,
 e BEEN F. sPRUILL."
 It is now we'll recognized that the treatments ordinarily given for this disease, based on powerful minerals, are very harmful to the system. They have tendency 10 deaden the nerve and muscular tissue, especially the former. The result is apt to show up in later years in the form of paralysis, locomotor ataxia, rheumatism, etc. Even blindness sometimes results. This may not occur for many years, but in all cases where these drugs have been taken, the danger always exists. These afflictions, as well as others long considered as after effects of the disease, are now admitted to re- suit not from the disease itself, but from these drugs.
 Then why take these drugs when Alkano is even more certain of curing the disease than they, and never has any evil after effects, but always leaves the system thorouRhly cleansed and restored. I~
 Alkano cures all forms of diseases and disorders of the blood.

MARCHING DOWN HILL.

The determination of southern cot ton growers 10 do something 10 re .lieve the cotton situation reached lts termination in South Carolina last week. There the lower branch of the legislature. by vote of four to one voted to repeal the law passed by it's predecessor making 1t a misdemeanor to plant more than third of the acre age that was in cotton last year. The repeal. 1t may be said, had the full approval of the farmers of the south. Texas. Georgia and other large cot ton growing states had refused to take the action uniting planting. South Carolinas law was, therefore, a bin to deny people the right 10 raise what they choose. So she marched up the hill and then marched down again. The cotton market has been moving strongly in favor of the producers Prices have advanced about 4 cent and a half, and exports are now nearly double what they were year ago So that schemes to squeeze the market are superoga' tory.

The Prevalent Loan Society of New York city, which makes small loans at relatively low rates of interest, saving people of narrow incomes from loan sharks and pawnbrokers, reports for the last year about 20 per cent more loans than a year ago Of course, this is serious increase, and calls for the attention of the pub. lie authorities and the philanthropic associations, and there is a consider able class of low-paid, unsHlled labor that probably could not borrow.
