RECEIVED BY MISTAKE.

following letter is said to be an exact
copy of letter which was sent to
a Protestant by mistake before the
primary election.--Mrs. F. c.
United Catholic League of the United
States.
Dear Brethren: l am compelled to
address this personal letter to you in
the hope that it will lead you to cast
your vote for candidates in your city
and ward who are members of the
church which we have the honor to
be members of. ...
It is something unusual for our
league to take any part in political
affairs, but at this time we feel that
we can do so with credit to some of
our own people.
It is with this respect that l address
you, as 1 am told that you are an
Irishman and Catholic.
You are aware that the present
mayor of this city is not Catholic,
and for that reason you should as
sist in defeating him by voting for
our friend, Robert Sweitzer, and thus
placing the church where it belongs
in the city of Chicago.
Mr.. Sweitzer has pledged himself,
if elected, that he will place only
Catholics into Offices and it should be
to your interests to vote for him
against Carter H. Harrison, who is
not Catholic. ...
In your ward you also have run

REPLY TO j. klMBAEE.-You say
that our school board is now Con
trolled" by Catholics. What if it was
controlled by Protestants or Jews or
a hereto would it make any differ
ence to you or 1, so long as our chill
dren are properly taught and taken
care of?
A Catholic has just as much right
to be a member of the school board
as Protestant. 1t is nobobdy's bust
ness where or how a man educates
his children. 1t is nobody's business
how a member of the school board
occupies his time so long as he per-
forms the work assigned to him. The
present school board was appointed
by Carter H. Harrison, Protestant
Mr.. Harrison did not interest him
self in a mans religion to determine
the personnel of the school board. He
examined their qualifications. If a
man is otherwise qualified, his relig-
ion is immaterial. Do you remember,
Mr.. Kimba1, the man who occupied
the position of president of the school
board during, believe, Mr. Buses
administration? Do you remember
he was criticized on innumerable oc-
casions for appearing at school board
meetings drunk? If this gentleman
happened to be a Catholic every bigot
in Chicago would start shooting of
his face.
would respectfully recommend
that you do your own thinking, use

NOT ENTIRELY
SATISFACTORY
PLEASE DO BETTER

While the plan for jitney attack
is meeting with an encouraging re-
spouse, we feel that it should be made
a still more effective means of taking
the message of Socialism into the
wilderness. Remember, comrades,
that the only excuse for the exist
ence of a Socialist paper is to teach
and preach Socialism. So we must
let no opportunity escape to put this
paper into the homes of the Henry
Dubb element of at least Snohomish
county. 1t is a reflection upon us as
an organization, that there are some
living in this county who have never
heard of Socialism. We have a list
of some of these unfortunates, and it
is up to you to see to it that jit-
ney's worth (three copies) of The
Washington Socialist is put into each
home, where the gospel of Socialism
is a stranger.
LET US HEAR FROM YOU.

ANY DAY, ANYWHERE

Socialism? l should say not!
Look what the present (capitalist)
system is doing for me. If they hadn't
ave imported that cheap labor and
let the work out to contractors / was
going to get few days work on the
street. Socialism? Not for muh! If
I'm out of job it's my own fault.
Can't expect the taxpayers to get the
job done by day-labor when it might
cost as much as by contract, can ye?
Course not. Say, what's the chance
for a job down there where you're at?
None! All hell"

FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES
The One Prerequisite

We publish in this issue reply to
Local Republics communication re-
garding money and the banking mon
opoly. from comrade "Proletaria Bill"
1t is we'll that this issue has been
raised. The principle that the radi-
cal forces of labor should concen'
trate their efforts on one big issue,
is worthy of serious consideration.
But not all rebels, either within or
without the Red Card group, are
agreed on the question of what the
one bic issue should be. "Proletaria
Bill" emphasizes the necessity for
concentration of our efforts on the
attainment of Power. But we must
have something more concrete, more
specific. What is 1t? In our judg-
ment, it is not the money question.
The ruling class would not recognize
as constitutional" or even legal, any
action that the working class would
take depriving them of the power to
exploit them, whether it be through
the banking system or through the
pay envelope.
Obviously, our first step is conquest
by the workers of the political powers
of government. We wage slaves must
get into our own hands the law-mak.
ing, police, and military powers of
the government Meddling with the
banking system, or with any other
system, will be of no practical ad'
vantage to the working class until
they shall have wrested the legal and
police machinery from the hands OF
the master-class.
Again. our secondary objective, it
seems to US, should be, abolition not
of the banking monopoly, but of wage
slavery! This cannot be accomplish
ed sooner by roundabout methods
Let us have for our battle cry, "Aboli
ton of wage slavery" Then natur
ally follows the means of carrying this
into effect. And, again, this is no
through agitation and legislation OF
money and banking, but, by concen
trating our efforts on abolition of priv
ate property in things socially neces
sary and comparatively used. In brief
abolition of privately owned capital
i. e., abolition of privately owned lane
and machinery, and public utilities
which are now operated for Profits in
stead of for Use. This accomplished
the banking and money question will
be automatically settled.
Moreover,-and perhaps more i'm
portant a consideration,-no emanci
patory settlement, or adjustment, Of
the money and banking system car
possibly be effected until the ruling
class is deprived of its present hold
on the nations political and police
powers.
This then is the one and fundamen
tai issue: CONQUEST OF THE POW
ERs OF GOVERNMENT BY THE
WORKING CLASS.
LET US UNITE ON THIS ONE
PREREQUISITE TO SOCIAL ANI
ECONOMIC FREEDOM FOR THE
WORKERS!

OUR IMMEDIATE DEMANDS
Second Contribution.
BY c. w. BARzEE.

That food, shelter, raiment, culture
and the enjoyment of life are NOT
common requirements of society" as
asserted by Comrade Bostrom in his
denial of our homogeneous interests,
is too absurd, too unsocialistic. too
technically contentious to receive fur
Their comment in this discussion. Let
those who wish TO agree with him
do so at the peril of contradicting all
socialist declarations, written or
spoken. Readers must decide this for
themselves.
The word state" may be used to
represent society only when 1t re-
fers to internationalism. The plural
of the word-societies- not en-
ter the socialist program or the sci
ence of MARKHAM socialism. We leave
this also with our readers.
To be socialist is to be revolu
tionary. There is not and cannot be
any other brand Of socialists. Their
program includes equal opportun
titles to earn living" and absolute
certainty of job, impossibility OF
selling out" no compromise" and
the emancipation of the whole work
ing class, which in turn will elimin
ate classes and emancipate ALL.
1t is not through desire 70,
fairness" Justice" generosity" oil
"mercy"-but through political revo
luton backed by industrial revolution
which is already here, that the so
cialist party must succeed Thi:
revolution must not be born of the

His statement that correct relations
between the units of society is no
the aim of the socialist party, ant
that the interests of individual mem

is common capitalist argument tina

euphonic capitalist statement coult
be parroted by anyone.
His course of knocking possible
immediate demands and his implied
single demand for present impossible
things ONLY impedes the progress o
the party. While not failing to de
mand ALL, we must work for things

SAYS BosTRoM FAILED TO
MEET ISSUE

Comrade Bostrom says were all
party members working men and
working women. then there could be
no other fault to find with immediate
demands but their uselessness, Does
he take into consideration that ALL
working men and working women are
not SOCIALISTS That they do not
understand working class psychology?
That they must be educated before
they will desert their masters and
other political parties for the social
list party-the party of their class?
corrected statement would be this
that were all working men and
working women socialists. there
would be no use for immediate de-
mands. This we made plain in our
former letter. Does comrade Bos
from mean to say an exclusive in
significant body of working class men
and women can usher In the cooper
alive commonwealth with the great
masses against them? II this Is his
conclusion he should unite his efforts
with our friends, the l. w. W., and
reap the vanity Of his expectancy,
He intimated In that letter also
that the only immediate demand he
endorsed was shorter work day;
and he no doubt did work for the s.
hour day in the late election. A COM
parison of the two measures-the s.
hour day and the industrial depart
ment-will prove which Is the more
socialistic and revolutionary.
THE OREGON MEASURE
The eight-hour day does not guar
antee a job. 1t leaves the capitalist
employer in complete control of the
product, subject to lockout. 1t does
not fix prices, which will always be
raised to correspond with hours and
wages, and the worker is not one
whit ahead in the final ending; while
the industrial department, as pro-
posed by the Oregon measure, sup
plies all with job and leaves the
product in the hands of the state.
| If this measure is opportunism, please
give us enough opportunism to feed,
clothe and house us until mental evo'
luton can bring the working class to
full understanding of their right
to a collective ownership of the earth
| Let us not draw our cloak of mentai
"holier than thou" self-righteousness
about us to the exclusion of offering
plan leading to comprehensive
understanding of socialism by lesser
evolved minds-even though our
works may not be altogether scien'
tifically socialistic. Sky-rockets may
light up the heavens, but they are OF
no account on earth. We must teach
those we would reach. Let vision
aries dwell among the clouds; but
let socialists deal with conditions on
| earth-just as we find them, just
wheree we find them, and let that
manner of dealing be within the po-
| litical comprehensveness of those
with whom we deal. Practicable
workable facts, not fine spun theories
are what socialists must present if
they accomplish anything. Shall so
cialists demand present impossible
things to the exclusion of possible
demands that get the attention of the
dustry and public works measure in
itiated by the socialist party of Ore
gon for or against the advancement
Of socialism?

go TO THE BOTTOM"

Who has the hardihood to contend
that the chattel slavery of ancient
Egypt, Palestine, Greece and the Ro-
man Empire was based upon whether
or not they used as an exchange me.
dunn, silver, copper, leather or traded
commodity for commodity? Those
countries were the cradle of our "civi-
lization" which we now have, and
which was nursed on the milk that
was MIXED from slavery Go to the
bottom for the cause or we prove our
inability to get the cause of anything.
Ancient slavery has simply evolved,
as was necessary, to keep pace with
the development of the tools and
modes of production. AS the tools and
modes of production are now of the
gigantic power-driven machines, the
old form of slavery that produced with
the hoe and the spinning wheel will
not and cannot fit it.
The slave of today gets just enough
order and to reproduce himself with
provided he can find master who
can use him. The ancient slave re-
ceived the same portion first hand
and did not have to hunt his master.
Therefore the economic feature, which
is the trunk feature, is essentially the
same in the present slavery as it was
in ancient slavery. Who will say
that money" in any form was the
cause of it all?
"PoWER" THE KEY
The workers of the world have
never yet developed the organized
power and intelligence with which to
free THEMSELVES from any kind of
slavery This organized power and
class intelligence is now developing
of production and will throw off the
curse of economic bondage when the
time is ripe for revolution. Therefore
POWER is the key"
We can fix any kind of contrivance
we need to effect exchange with when
we have developed the power to keep
the world freed from masters and
master classes.
This question of developing the nee
essary power, and as to where it will
necessarily develop first in industry
itself or in the reichstag overshadows
all else.

PROLETARIA BILL" DOES
NOT APPROVE OF LOCAL
REPUBLICS RESOLUTION

The Socialist party is blessed with
varied assortment OF opponents of
the practlcabllity of as many different
contrlvances for bringing about pre-
mature birth of, what many term as,
the cooperative commonwealth.
One shouts Eve must organize demo-
cratically." Another joins with the in
harmonious chorus and chants that
"the government should buy the indus
tries" Another Is just as certain that
there is no other way but by voting
as we are taught" (vote and disappear
until time to vote again, as they did
in Germany Another simply knows
that 1--WE must demonetize the dollar
and issue labor currency"
The latter contrivance has been en-
dorsed by Local Republic as the pre-
eminent pill for our uplift. The pre-
amble to the resolutions passed by
that Local and published in the March
25th issue of the Washington Social
list is similar to, IL not identical with,
a doctrine that emanates from little
burg in Illinois. They say:
Pass q law to demonetize every
dollar in existence and substitute
therefor a government issue of cur
rency based on labor, to be paid d.
rect to the people for labor performed.
This would shift the standard Of value
to where 1t naturally belonged The
price of any article on the market
would depend on the days, hours and
minutes necessary to its production.
Let us therefore kill the old money
goose that lays all the rotten eggs
that hatch out into the rotten system
that are fostering sore on the body
polite and thus stop the breed at once
and forever"
Some science that. Who ever knew
of rotten eggs Matching out?
To be serious, it is strikingly GER
tain that it is the labor goose" that
is laying the eggs,-and they are good
eggs. They are so good that labor's
master takes all of them except what
the goose" needs to keep in laying
condition and Perpetuate it's race.
Labor is slave to capital The
proof is certain. The present system
Of freedom to buy and SELL slavery
evolved from more primitive form
of slavery called serfdom, where the
slave (serf bound to the soiD simply
divided up his product with his master
without the incumbrance of the decep-
tive process of receiving money"
wages, or keep. Serfdom evolved from
absolute chattel slavery, which pre-.
ceded it as a quite universal institu.
