LOCAL REPUBLIC COMES oAck"

Editor of the Washingtn Socialist,
Evoi Oft, Wash.
Comrades and Fellow Workers: In
he issue OF April Sth of the Wash
Socialist we find two comments on
Resolution of Republic Local which IL
the authors had carefully read the
Resoiution, their comments would
have been unnecessary, as they both
agree with Resolution in that we
aust first obtain Power of Govern
ment by the Working Glass.
But both fail as to any defined
Method Of obtaining this Power as
also do nearly all Socialists Lecturers
and Publications,
Whereas, we hold that the Socialist
Commonwealth. as 1t answers and ex-
plains the queries of non.Socialists
as to Who, How, When, Where, Why
and What the Socialists propose to do
When they secure the Majority Of
Power in the House of Congress.
That if this proposed Amendment
be taught to all, adopted at the Soc
,alist National Convention and placed
rs the most important Plank in the
Socialist platform would eliminate all
of the present and future Evils at.
tributable to the present system Of
money-such as War Poverty, Graft,
Theft, Intemperance, Prostitution, In
heritance, Taxes. Charity, Unemploy-
ment, Bribery. Interest, Rent and
Profits on Labor
This measure IL adopted and en-.
forced will Immediately remove all
Capitalist Ownership and Control of
he Pubic Commodities, Lands, In
dustiies, Mines, Minerals, Patent
Rights, Telephones, Telegraphs and
Transportation, as this form of Cur
rency by being Privately non-trans-
feiab!e and Cancelled as soon as used;
the Government alone would be en-
abled to Control, Operate, Collect and
distribute all the public commodities
transportation and Products of Labor.
No objection to this Amendment
can be raised by Race, National or
Religious Denomination except he be
Parasite on Labor; and by having n
logical Platform it should be easy to
make Converts enough to obtain this
Power both National and International
wherever adopted.
Proposed amendment to Socialist
Platform
That all Socialist members of Con-
gress pledge themselves Immediately
on obtaining Power in the House of
Congress to pass Law to Demonetize
all of the Existing Forms of Money

MANY RIFLE CLUBS
NOW BEING FORMED
Distribution Of Krags to Socie-
ties Lends Impetus to Move
ment.

An impetus to the formation OF
rifle clubs has followed the approval
by Congress Of a law permitting the
Government to issue free to such
clubs Krag rifles stored in the va
rious arsenals, and the National
Board for the Promotion Of Rifle
Practice asse rted today that since
the law went into effect $50 clubs
have been organized.
The movement to Issue Krag rifles
for the training of citizens in rifle
shooting explains what is being done
with the KraS rifles in storage In
the Government nrsenals, and ends
speculation as to their disposal since
the outbreak OF the European war.
1t was the efforts OF speculators,
influential and otherwise, who were
making the life o. the chief Of ord
nance miserable in their efforts to
purchase the Krag rifles. which
caused the President to have issued
the order in January forbiddfng the
sale Of arms to rifle clubs.
1t was not thought that there was
any abuse Of the privilege accorded
rifle clubs to purchase Government
arms, but The President desired to
be in a position of saying that no
arms were being sold to anyone,
especially Krag rifles, as these were
being reserved for issue to Govern
ment rifle clubs under authority OF
the recent new law.

CONGRESS OF WOMEN
IS PEACE PROPOSAL
Project Tentatively Approved by
Federation Of Women's
Clubs Of District.

A great international congress Of
women. to be held in this country as the
nrst step toward the possible securing
Of peace in Europe. was tentatively ap-
proved last night by the Federation OF
Women's Clubs of the District after
Mrs. Mary H. Stone. of Boston. had
outlined her campaign for such a peace
movement Mrs. Stone, a delegate to
the convention of the Daughters of the
American Revolution and a friend Of
the Queen of Roumania, complained
bitterly that the d. A. r. had not found
time to consider her proposal.
Mrs. stones plan is that the congress
Of women should precede and bring
about q congress OF nations to sub
scribe to an international code of laws
which may be enforced by an arbitral
court.
The Federation of women's Clubs.
after hearing Mrs. Stones earnest ad-
dress. authorized the appointment Of a
special committee to consider the merits
Of the proposal.
IT am ashamed to confess" said Mrs.
Stone, that the D. A. r. refused to
give mo recognition for the presentation
Of this world plan. The plan is one
for the watering Of the lilies of peace
with n confederation of the world. 1t is
ridiculous to talk of controlling world

Workman Saved From Death Under
CaVcin.

Kcrshaw, Jan. 30.-John Small, a
negro, while engaged in digging q
we'll near this town, was nearly
killed by suffocation caused by a cave
in of the sides of the well. The man
was at Il depth of 40 feet when sud-
denly the loose rock from the side
fell in, knocking the man down, and
the loose dirt and mud caved in on
him and completely covered the man.
except one hand held over his head
TO protect himself from the falling
rock. The struggles Of the negro and
his cries for assistance soon brought
Hampton tIinson, upon whose place
he was working, to his assistance, and
he was soon brought to the surface.
Except for a flesh wound in his face,
caused by some falling timber, the
man was apparently uninjurcd.
