OREGON COMRADE MAKES
VALUABLE SUGGESTION
TWO NEW PLANkS NEEDED.
The First One.

There are two questions that ] want
to mention which I think should go
into our next national platform, viz:
There should be plank DEMANDING,
not FAVORING, representative on
each election board in every voting
precinct in the land for each political
party that has out a ticket. What is
the use of educating people in
economics and how to vote, when our
votes are not counted or counted for
the other parties? Until we have the
right to have a representative on each
board to see that our votes are
counted, we will NEVER carry this
country for socialism This is one of
the most important political actions
we can do, because if we don't get our
votes counted, and we won't unless we
have our own representative on the
board, what is the use of voting? The
capitalists are wise on this point.
They know If they can keep our votes
down and not allow it any increase, it
will kill any political movement that
ever existed. They know that there
is nothing so discouraging to a po-
l1tfcal party as to keep it's vote from
showing any increase for few years.
1t is certain death. We must have our
votes counted or we will soon be
buried.
The Second Plank.
The other plank should demand
six-hour work day. Benjamin Frank
lin once stated that all necessities and
Injuries could be produced in two to
three hours if all worked If this were
true in his day, how much more true
it is today with all our modern ma
chinery. We could not lose any votes
by such demand because the CAPT.
talists, business men and nearly all
the farmers vote against us, anyway.
We can't lose them, for we have not
got them to lose. On the other hand
we would gain thousands of votes
among the wage slaves. 1t would also
gain us a great publicity that we
could not gain in any other way. The
capitalists would see to it that it was
denounced in every one of their publ
cations and that would only help to ad-
vertise it among the Dubbs who never
read anything but capitalistic sheets.
1t certainly would prove the greatest
stroke of propaganda that we ever ex-
perienced. Not only this, but it would
be in line with the fundamental prin-
ciples of revolutionary socialism If
enough of everything can be produced
in two or three hours per day. why
work ten, eight or even six? Why
work any longer than is necessary?
If we declare for a six hour work day
in the next national platform, it will
be the wisest thing we have ever done.
There should be continual agitation
in every Socialist publication in the
country started for the two PROPOSE
lions above mentioned Mere reform
will not do. To reform capitalism, is
to prolong it. We do not want reform,
but a CHANGE, something that is
revolutionary If REFORM was all
the people are after, then the Bull
Moose party would not have expired
so soon. That ought to be a lesson to
the Socialist party. If we don't learn
from its short and ignoble existence,
we will soon be keeping company with
it in the boneyard If no one wants
to father the above propositions, put

Divorce and Murder

| infatuated, and killed another woman
who tried TO protect her.
1t seems that seven years ago Craig
fell in love with this girl, and had aban-
doned his family for her. He wanted to
marry the young woman. but his wife
would not hear of divorce. She knew
OF his relationship with the other woman,
but she forgave and endured meekly, as
the anti-divorce theories tell us that
woman should do under the circum-
stances
Finally the girls conscience awoke. or
some gimmering Of common sense made
her perceive how idiotic is the woman who
wastes all of her youth and beauty on a
married man, or some other man caught
her wandering fancy, and she wrote to
Craig that she would have nothing more
TO do with him.
Mad with Jealousy the middle-aRed
botharto rushed to her boarding place,
and after a scene full OF bitter recrimina-
ton he killed the girl and a woman who
sought to interfere between them, and
then shot himself
Neither OF these murders would have
been committed if the men who had tired
OF their wives and had fallen In love with
divorces. Weak AMI immoral as Craig
and Ida sniffen Walters are. they are
not murderers al heart They were driven

found themselves, and out OF which
there was no gate except that OF divorce
and that gate was barred to them.

others similar t. thcm-raise a very in.

June was already halfway up the stairs
She turned Mrs. Willard, without a
word. followed her Side by side the two
women stood looking at the man and the
dog Mrs Willard needed no explanation
to tell her what had happened. For the
first time in her married life she gave
way to anger.

scarlet and her eyes flashing. This is

alone. ] hate youl l could see you torn

The collie crouched at June's feet.
The man rose cautiously.

Mrs. Willard lowered her eyes for
moment.
TT is broken! she suddenly flared.
You have paid me well, and 1 have
served you we'll! But we wore not to in
terfero with each others life. You have
interfered with mine! I am through"
She stripped her hands OF her rings and
threw them at him. She swept from the
room, followed by June and Bouncer
They heard the man teephoning for his
racer at a nearby garage. and while Mrs.
Willard was still packing her clothing her
husband came along the hall. He stopped
at the door.
Il don't think you will find that your
new line ofwork will pay you as we'll as
being my wife" the man snarled
Mrs. Willard sprang to the door and
closed it in his face. and Willard laughed
mocklngly.
He is beast." said Mrs. Willard and
sat down. as II she wished to say some,
thing more. There was the sound of
wheels at the door Mrs. Willard sud
denly buried her face in her hands and
cried.
June left her sobbing and went to pack
her own apparel.
Money! Again June was face to face
with another angle of this eternal prob
lem, which, IL seemed to her, had COM
plicated the entire relationship Of men
and women. Mrs Willard had plainly
and palpably sold herself, and the price
is never great enough for any woman
who has done that. Always i'm June's
rapidly widening observation the man
gave and the woman received and her
very dependence made the question Of
matrimony one OF essential barter and
sale. IL was wrong. IL destroyed the
very source and fount OF love. Was
there no remedy? June, shaken though
she was by her painful experience in the
morning, was strengthened in her own
resolve. The answer 10 the problem was
in the attainment Of il, even though Ned

murder among the mismated
AS proof of this we have the two TRACE
dies, both double murders that are now
engaging the public attention, and both
of which were innocently caused by
wives who refused to divorce their hus-
bands.
The first case is that of Ida Sniffen
Walters with whom Lorlys Elton Rogers,
a married man, fell in love. This couple
established a home together. They had
children. They lived on the hope that

would divorce him to permit him to
marry the woman he loved and legitima-
tie their children.
Mrs. Rogers refused to divorce her hus-
band, and when Ida Sniffen Walters un.
derstood that the man she had sacrificed
so much for never would be free to
marry her and to give their children a
name in a moment of mad despair she
killed the children and attempted to take
her own life.
The other case is that Of Hiram Craig,

Fire In Indian Town

A coal oil, or gasoline lamp explos' ion just after elSht o'clock last even ing, caused the destruction of tho home of Joe Carresco, half-breed native, and an old resident of the town.
 At the time of the explosion, Joe Gawesco, sister, mother-in-law and three children were in the house. In no time the house was in flames, the occupants having just time enough to escape. After the occupants were out, one of the children was thought to have remained behind, the mother rushe din and had to be pulled out by bystanders.
 Due to the fact that the fire bri- gade did not reach the scene till late, the house was soon mass of ash es. The house adjoining, belonging to Mrs. Tongass George, another native, was soon afire but by that time the fire hose were put to work and saved it, although the inside was ruined
