ORGANIZATION NEWS
NEWS FROM OLYMPIA
HERMAN'S MEETINGS IN
OLYMPIA ARE TRIUMpHS

Olympia comrades are rejoicing over
the success of both of comrade Her
mans meetings. We want the other
locals to work hard to advertise his
meetings and get the crowds out. He
Is worth It.
We held one meeting in Priest Point
park at 2;3O p. m, another one at So
cialist hall at 8 p. m, both were well
attended, the outdoor meeting having
over 200 and the hall meeting was
nearly that many. A great many OF
the audience from the park followed
the speaker to the hall meeting; SO
we expect to feel results in our mem
bership from such a demonstration
OF interest and understanding. Our
expectations are not groundless as
we received two applications at the
close of the last meeting and have
more substantial promises.
No speaker has ever made the
science of Socialism more clear OF
held his audience better.

HUMAN NATURE

You can't alter human nature. Oul
ancestors used to be cannibals, but the
people are no more
You can't alter human nature. Our
ancestors formerly lived in caves and
ate uncooked meat, but now we do
neither
You can't change human nature. Our
ancestors burned witches and tortured
people of other beliefs than theirs;
but we never do anything like that!
You can't change human nature.
Our forefathers imprisoned men and
women for being in debt; but where
is there such punishment today?
You can't change human nature.
Our ancestors kept chattel slaves and
argued that it was right and scrip
tural, but there are no chattel slaves
today.
Human nature may be trained and
civilized, so that it will end the rob.
berry of the masters, make all people
free and give all opportunity. And
that will mean Socialism:

TO EVERETT READERS

We are given to understand that a
solicitor employed by the Commercial
Importing Co., of Wetmore avenue,
selling CORONA BLEND COFFEE, is
inducing our readers to buy that cof-
fee under false pretenses. We want
our readers to understand that this
firm is not an advertiser in your pa.
per and that an order for goods given
to this firm is detriment to the we'll
being Of this paper and those that
support it. Be sure that you buy
your goods from only those that ad-
vertise. H. M. Clausen, of 1881 Rookie
Teller, and The Imperial Tea Co., of

THE EASTLAND DISASTER
Editor Northwest Worker:


Regardless of the immediate contri-
Duting causes of the Eastland horror.
we, if we stop to think, know these
things to be the primary and original
causes of this and all like disasters.
where human life is snuffed out in
Wholesale quantities, with the utmost
disregard possible and without the
least warning.
The Eastland, being a common car
rler and social necessity, yet priv
ately owned, was produced first as a
profit making machine, and secondly
as social necessity, which brings I'D
the question of value" that is neces-
sary to define in order to more thor
oughly understand the situation.
First, under our present form of
capitalistic society, we have two kinds
of value. Social value as expressed
in the quality of a social necessity
and capitalistic value, by which is de-
termined the amount Of profits this
same social necessity can produce.
The Eastland has been, ever since
its construction, very hard to manage
and keep in a seaworthy condition, as
she was of light draft and top heavy
and with large crowd such as ex-
cursion boats always have, she could
hardly be kept upright Our present
capitalistic laws, being based on priv
ate property in social necessity, which
causes the interests of the individual
owner to be opposed to that of So
ciety's as whole we can expect moth
ing else than that the owner, in ord
er to perpetuate himself in his posi-
ton, today disregards the interests
and safety of society in his mad race
for more profits and further that he
is protected by law, and then some
OF us are foolish enough to imagine
that we can bring the perpetrators OF
such horrors as these to justice.
If we wish to continue the present
form of society we must expect this
and like human slaughters with ever
increasing magnitude, as they go hand
in hand with profits, and with an ever
increasing disregard for human life.
Lastly, that the only permanent
remedy for these evils is the direct
opposite form of society, or the Social
Ownership OF the social necessities,
coupled with the democratic manage
ment of the same.
Under this form, and this alone, can
we expect to have the proper regard
for human life, as then it will behove
each person, in order to protect him
self to have constantly in mind the
safeguarding of every other member
of society.
Human life and energy being the
greatest essential to social welfare,
yet We know at present it is held the
cheapest.
Yours for Greater Social Justice.

FOR FRIDAY, AUG. 18th

After nibbing for two years on
Shipley's "Nebula to Man" illustrated
lectures, the Reds of Arlington, urged
by the comrades of Silvana,-who had
heard demonstrated the course last
Friday evening at the Scenic theatre.
About 165 persons were present, and
seemed to enjoy to the full both the
wonderful stereopticon views and the
story told of sun, planets, moons.
comets, meteors, and the universe of
blazing suns and glowing nebulae that
wander through space SO far beyond
our solar system.
1.-THE Autobiography Of the Earth"
will be given on the evening of Aug.
6, followed by "The Evolution of Man"
on Aug. 10. The latter two lectures,
illustrated with about 200 stereopticon
views of ideal geological landscapes.

lists, thanks to the terrible catacly-
SINS that have forced to the surface
strata that were laid down millions

Embedded in these ancient rocks
are the fossil remains of thousands
of extinct animals, revealing the slow
evolution of life from the lowest crus
taceans and mollusks to our savage

story, and no thinking man or woman
can afford to let this splendid oppor

knowledge can be obtained with sc
little cost of time or effort.

FROM A READER
Vancouver, Aug. LIST, 1915.
Mort h uoct yUorLor.

Vancouver Aug. LIST, 1915.
To the Northwest Worker:
Dear Comrades: have been a
worker for Socialism IS years and my
ideas have changed a great many
times as to certain phases of Social
ism, and as l am not a graduate Of
any high school or have any ability
as an orator, l seldom argue any
thing at Local or write anything
for publication, but read great deal
and the stand the Northwest Worker
takes on subjects and discussions al
ways rings with true Socialism and
should be taken by every true Social
list in Washington. There are thou
sands of dues paying members today
in the Socialist party who do not und-
erstand true Socialism or are traitors
to the party according to their appli.
cation card they sign when asking for
membership to the party.
The referendum started by Local
Marx and printed in the Northwest
Worker of July 20, should be second
ed by every Local in Washington and
should be freely discussed by locals.
The members of the Locals should be
careful in selecting men for office and
see that they do not advocate some
side issue such as prohibition or reli-
gion, but stick to the class struggle.
One great trouble with the working
men in the Socialist party, as in all
other parties, is they will pick out a
man who is glib with his tongue
whether he has any sound sense or
not, The Socialist party stands for
the laboring man and if the members
of the Socialist party have not sense
enough to vote for a laboring man to
represent them instead of for a
lawyer or preacher, or some one
who makes living off the laboring
man, we will have the same condi-
lions under a Socialist administra-
ton that we would have under any
other administration. For that class |
of men usually work in the interest
of that class of men.
Your comrade,

could not be present, owing to cir
