RING OUT THE GLAD NEWS

Everett is to be the next city on the
Socialist map. After making careful
Investigations in all parts of the city
the campaign committee find that the
election of our three candidates on
the primary ballot is absolutely sure
thing. So many Socialists have been
made in the past year that it is only
a question of counting the ballots to
determine the enormity of our growth.
All over the world the same thing has
happened, so it is not unnatural that
it should have happened here with
the amount Of hard work done this
wear.
The Socialist vote in some parts of
the world has shown such a tremen-
dous increase that it is hardly con-
ceivablc Right here on the Amer
lean continent, as shown in this pa
per in previous issues, the growth has
been so great that the old party poll
ticians have given up in hopeless
despair. The sentiment in this city
is very gratifying and it only means
that every shoulder must go to the
wheel after the primaries to insure a
complete victory for Socialism in the
City of Everett.

Out of chaos, out of murlt

While the ages changed and sped,

Underneath my sturdy blows
Forests fell and cities rose.
And the hard. reluctant soil
Blossomed richly from my toll
Palaces and temples grand
Wrought with my cunning hand.
Rich indeed was my reward
Stunted soul and body SCARED
With the marks of scourge and rod,

From the cradle to the grave
Shambled through the world--a slave!
Crushed and trampled. beaten, cursed,
Serving best, but served the worst,
Starved and cheated gouged and
spoiled,
Still | builded, still toiled,
Undernourished, undorpaid,
In the world myself had made.
Up from slavery ! rise,
Dreams and wonder in my eyes.
After brutal ages past,
Coming to my own at last.

Miners in the state of washington
are working on an average Of two
days a week. You need more fuel to
heat up your house. There are mil.
lions of tons of fuel in the bowels
OF the earth and thousands of men
willing to mine it. And why is 1t that
1t cannot be mined? Simply because
1t Is owned by corporations that must
make profits on what they control.
The Socialists are out for the control
of these mines by the people. When
the people who own the mines want
fuel all they will have to do is to have
the fuel brought to the surface and
distributed.
