A STRONG ENDORSEMENT

The strongest endorsement" of
Mr.. Osborne's work in Sing Sing, in
the view of the New York World, is
"the nature of the campaign that has
been made against him" Since he
took charge, the World goes on to
say, neither the little nor the big
politicians have had free swing at
Sing Sing" and "the traffic in drugs
has been checked and the profits of
crooked employees shut of" He has
established a new order of things
where justice and humane treatment
are the first rules in the maintenance
of discipline" and this journal adds
that if his experiment prove success
full there will be a revolution in pris-
on administration throughout the
United States" The New York Even
ing Post emphasizes the fact that
leading prison-reformers who have
been in closest touch with what has
been going on" are wholly on Os-
borne's side"

ANSWERING CROSBY

In answer to Comrade II. S. Crosby
letter we have only to say that we see
in it no reason for joining in capital
list war. 1t only shows one the neces-
sity for more energetic war against
capitalism and war. War once being
declared, it's hell anyway We're not
lodging this issue.
One other point:
II soldier, native or foreign, en-
tered my house with intent to harm me
or mine, I should kill him, or die in
the attempt. But such death would
be in immediate defense Of self or
home or loved ones, not in aid of
capitalism or a capitalist war, often
sive or defensive. Why should So
cialist act on any other principle? AS
If to die were such a matter! 1t con-
Germs us only that we die as Social
list, not as dupe of the master-class.
War is hell, and we can but expect
hellish conditions under martial law.
We are not non-resistant
On the contrary, We believe in fight
ing like tiger in immediate self
defense, or in defense of the principle
of industrial democracy, If the issue
is forced upon US.
AS for salutes, they're easy.
We've been saluting our economic
conquerers for so many years, ION
the job" it would be no extra trouble
to salute a uniform and sabre. Salut-
ing is easier than digging potatoes, or
picking hops, or peddling Gibbons De-
cline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
AS long as your master has you on
the saluting job, you're not breaking
your back laying a concrete sidewalk.
or digging a sewer trench, or saluting
prospective boss seeking work as a
wage-slave.

UNTERMANN' Us LETTER

Comrade Untermann's letter en-
phasiges the fact that nearly all the
well known Socialist scholars held
views contrary to ours, and that We
place ourselves in an untenable posi-
ton in declaring that these comrades
were not real Socialists. We beg to
disagree with him. 1t is these Illus
trious writer's who have placed them
selves in an untenable position, If
they, or at least those of them who
are still alive, are Socialists, then we
are something more than a Socialist,
and those comrades who feel and think
as We do are in need of distinctive
name, IL not of distinctive party or
ganization. Marx and Engles. and all
the revolutionists of the middle of the
eighteenth century, were ashamed OF
the name Socialist" and were obliged
to call themselves Communists" in
order to be distinguished from the mid
dle-class sentimentalists, and religious
utOplanS, WHO nau set out W Gun
vert" the master-class to the lovliness
of the Cooperative Commonwealth,
the folly of selfishness, and the Chris
tian imperative,-so to speak,-of the
Brotherhood of Man. Hence We read
today 1.-THE Communist Manifesto"
not the Socialist Manifesto.
We reiterate, that whenever a So
cialist takes up arms in defense Of
national boundaries" he ceases then
and there to be Socialist, the essence
OF which is internationalism, not pat
riotism. the class struggle, not the
race struggle. or struggle over po-
litical boundaries or masters.

TEDDY AND I'VE" AGREE

At last 1--WE" have found one point
on which Teddy and ourselves are in
agreement. We both believe in pre-
paredness" for war We both believe
in the necessity, under capitalism, Of
a bigger army and bigger navy, the
bigger the better Both of us regard
the pacifist propaganda as the great
est piece of bunk" ever conjured. AS
to the pacifists being mollycoddles,
here we disagree. That's not what
ails them They're silly dreamers,
utopians, or stupid sentimentalists,
wholly oblivious to the plain teachings
of history They're doubtless brave
enough, as far as that goes. But, like
Bryan, their leader, they're uneduca-
able, they can learn neither from OBJ
servation, study, nor experience. Ted
dy doesn't know much, but he is az
least not blind to the fact that the
morality" and Justice" of a class, or
a nation, is a self-interest, self-pro-
tective morality. Perhaps we flatter
Teddy in saying that he is conscious
of this principle. At any rate, he in
stinctively acts upon this fundamental
fact Were Teddy not conventional
by choice, and natural-born bromide
he would make a good "free-thinker"
He knows that peoples are wholly un-
moral whenever their conventional
morality conflicts with their selfish
interests. And he knows that we live
in world ruled by brute force; that
the fruits of the earth belong to the
strong. So he would have the ruling
class of the United States strength
ened by large and efficient army of
fool soldiers, great navy, impreg-
nable fortresses, and all the other
equipment suitable for modern
Christian civilization. And Teddys,
right, at that. Capitalism, brutality,
immortality, religion, and WAR are in
separable. He who supports the first
must, to be consistent, support all the
rest. And this requires sharp and
strong teeth and claws, not sentimen-
tai gush of the Bryan concoction.
Teddy's right, the earth and it's full
ness belong to the strong. ut always
was so, and it always will be So"
Believing as We do that the work
ing-class is potentially the strongest
group in the world having identical
material interests, we call upon them
to unite under the banner of Social
ism for conquest of the world for the
workers. When they have been suffi.
ciently educated and aroused, they
will heed this clarion call, and the
world will be theirs for the taking.

To Mothers:

Did you raise your boy to be a sol
.dier?
Does he understand what war really
means2
Does he know that wars are fought
for the profit of the master-class who
use the poor deluded youth as bull
warks to guard their illgotten gains?
What have you done to teach him
THE TRUTH ABOUT WAR?
If you have not as yet given the mat
ter serious consideration, would it not
be wise to begin at once? And then
there Is your neighbours boy. What
about him?
When the mothers of the land are
fully awake as to the WAR GAME
they will unite as one, to see that ev-
Irry boy will be in possession of some
book that teaches the awful horrors
of war; that teaches how they are
duped and tricked into the army and
navy by an INSCRIPTIONS lot of loot
ers, under the guise of patriotism,
"love for our flag and country" etc.
The Northwest Worker would like
to hear from the mothers.
Tell what you think, and what you
would suggest AND WHAT YOU ARE
WILLING TO DO. LET US REASON
TOGETHER. THEN LET US WORK
TOGETHER!
