PheIan should be back at third

On their recent trip east the Cubs
made more money than at any time
since 1908. And they also lost more
ball games, which is a poor balance.
Eighteen battles were staged, and of
these the West Siders won just four.
Game after game was kicked away,
or else the Cubs absolutely declined
to win when opportunities were Of
fered them by the opposition.
As a result of this porous showing
the Cubs are now in triple tie for
third place. At the recent pace of
the Braves and Pirates this tie is not
liable to exist for any length of time.
Unles there is an immediate awaken

be of high order to hold down the
score.
Detroit won at the same time and
drew up on the Hose, but this gives
Rowland no concern. Boston is the
team he believes he has to beat, and
all strength will be concentrated in
the remaining games of the series
there.
With the Red Sox out of the way,
the opposition should not be so diff
cult. Washington is merely flashing
now and then, and New York has al
ways been soft for the South Side
gang. The Mackmen have nothing
with which to stop such ball team.
President Comiskey of the White
SOx, from his camp at Mercer, Wis,
telegraphed $500 to the mayors fund
for relief of Eastland survivors.

National league pennant lies between
three eastern teams Boston, Brook

award an open question at this time.
All three are facing a long western

Philadelphia is two games ahead
of Brooklyn and the Braves follow
the Dodgers by four games. With 81
games yet to be played that is slen-

In the past the Braves have proven
themselves the best road team and
they are now at somewhere near the
speed which carried them from bot

AN IMPORTANT RULING
CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES MAY
JOIN 8. p.

After hundreds Of United States
civil service employees have given W
their membership in the Socialist
party, fearing that If they did not dc
so they would lose their jobs under
the anti-political proclamation of the
civil service commission, a ruling has
been secured from the commission de,
claring that government employees
may be dues paying Socialist party
members.
This Is the first victory in the cam.
paign to secure political justice for
the government employees who are
now intimidated by the democratic ad.
ministration under Wilson, as they
were previously oppressed by the re.
publican administrations of Taft and
Roosevelt.
The next step will be to prevent the
persecution and discharging Of civil
service employees who happen to take
active part in the work of the Social
list movement, men and women who
are the candidates Of the Socialist
party in campaigns, or hold official
positions within the party organiza
ton, for; as The American Socialist
has shown, there are numbers OF
cases where Socialists have been dis
eliminated against, and old party poll
ticians favored under the civil service
rules.

THE REAL HEROES

No Socialist minds helping the
cause when it doesn't cost either time
or labor. Some are anxious to do
their share of the work at no matter
what cost of time or money, within
their power or means. Often one finds
comrade who will do quite a hard
task or undergo much physical dis
comfort for the cause if the ordeal is
sufficiently spectacular and well ad-
vertised.
But the real heroes of the move
ment are the unassuming, noiseless
comrades who habitually peg away
at the little things that help the pa
per and the organization immensely,
but don't get much space in the news
columns.
These are the kind of Socialists
that lay the sound basis of a clear.

Now there is no good reason why
every reader of this paper should not
join this silent, tireless, persistent
brigade of foundation builders.

JUDGE LINDSEY'S EYES
OPENED
BY EUGENE v. DEBS

When Judge Ben Lindsey went to
Washington to see President Wilson
In behalf of the striking miners of
Colorado, he innocently believed that
as soon as the president knew the
facts he would promptly set the pow
erful machinery of state in operation
to bring Rockefeller and the rest of
the buccaneers to time. But alasr
President Wilson dared not offend.
King Rockefeller, and when the king
sat down on him he looked sad and
said he hadn't the legal" right to
do thing.
Now Judge Lindsey says that we're
ruled from Wall street, and that King
John is good deal bigger than Pres
ident Woodrow, all Of which is an old
story with every one not as deficient
In gray matter as a shenfish. Judge
Lindsey also says that 'Our civiliza.
ton is conspiracy against nature as
well as against Justice" Right again,
Judge! But what are you going to do
about it?
Capitalism is the thing Judge Lind
sey so fiercely denounces and If he ia
opposed to it, then what reason has
he for not being a Socialist? The
Socialists are the only ones who have
definite program for the overthrow
of capitalism and the establishment of
industrial democracy.

THE EXTERMINATOR
BY LEE ROY HENRY

War Is still playing It's terrible act
upon the stage in Europe and its at
tributes death, disease, poverty and
crime are still ravaging humanity
The red spray of working-class blood
still darkens the sun of civilization
and liberty has been sacrificed to the
might of ignorance.
The jaws of the exterminator, war
are grinding relentlessly and this
whirlpool Of manhood continues to be
drawn to the center, being swallowed
up In destruction. The man made vol
canoes, flashing forth In the hideous
spectral gloom Wild lava-like light
ming. deal death to the human walls
Of cannon-flesh. These wild light
nings. throwing their terrible pro-
jectiles are accomplishing the hope
Of the master-cIass, they are agents
Of the exterminator.
In a maddening rush thousands
charge through pools OF Iife.blood in a
slew, spattering 1t in q thousand d.
rections. The gore 30 priced by the
loved ones at home has become a scar
let mist making momentary hideous
rainbows in the Hastings of mans
chained lightning and falling in the
crash that follows.
In the night the machinery of MUIR
der Operated with the blessings Of
the clergy belches forth it's death
dealing fire. The flashes light the
woods; each twig bearing for a mo-
ment the crimson of blood on one side
while the other side remains a death
like black. War the exterminator has
taken into its fold every possible
means Of murder and butchery. The
men with good capitalistic zeal hear
their masters voice and face machin-
cry of murder, with its counterpart,
always expecting the poor working
men on the other side will be the
ones slain instead of themselves. Then
with the mental picture of few pieces
of bronzed tin, to be awarded them for
their heroic bravery. they plunge for
ward barring their breast for the en-
emy's bayonet
The winter has come and gone, and
the producers are at the front; the
parasites remain at home to consume
all that remains. Women and chill
dren will face the exterminator with
hungry mouths and chilled, half cloth
ed limbs.
Poverty will give their lives to the
fierce savage fiend, war. Oh! Sacri-
fices 30 unnecessary; so useless; SO
cold blooded and so terrible! But in
the meanwhile the capitalists in Ber-
lin, Paris, st. Petersburg, CONSTANT
nople, Vienna and London are batting
their passions in the wine glass and
the silken rustic Of pleasure. They
have regained the absolute powers
they were loosing; the workers are
dead, or dying!

You are now fed on lies. You know
only what the enemy want you to
know or what escapes from them
when they quarrel among themselves.
BY controlling the press the capitalists
control the sources of our information,
as John d. Rockefeller controls the
sources of oil, and we must buy the
kind of product they want to sell and
at their price.
Think of this thing, more precious,
more powerful, more enlightening
than all else, owned by the enemy
at least, all but owned by the enemy!
You have this poor thing, this So
cialist paper, in your hands. 1t de.
ponds upon you whether it will live or
die, whether it Is to reach one million
or ten million. 1t depends upon you
whether it will become a great instru,
ment for fighting our battles. Poor
as it is, il is a symbol of that which
is our sole security as a sovereign
people.
1t must be on guard. 1t must watch
out for us. 1t must report the truth
to us. 1t must warn us of danger and
when need be, call us to action.

CEiVABLE, FOR IF THIS THING
FAILS, THEN ALL ELSE FAILS.
