Looking Toward Mexico.

Special BY United Press Wire.
Washington, June 3:-The ad-
ministration was prepared today for
any development in Mexico. 1t was
accepted that the military factional
leaders are already prepared to put
President Wilson's suggestions into
effect or to get ready to make
trouble Consequently officials are
anxiously awaiting word from Con-
sui Silliman at Vera Cruz and Spec
ial Agent Carothers at Chihuahua
as to what the prospects were.
villa representatives here went on
record as saying that Villa would
meet the Presidents wishes. That
was accepted as a characteristic
Villa trait. In all relations with the
United States villa has shown that
he values this countrys friendship
but whether he values it sufficiently
to eliminate himself entirely was
considered doubtful. AS for Car
rama, officials were doubtful. Men
who know him best say they expect
that he will send word that he is the
real ruler and should be recognized.
Consul Silliman was looked to to
influence him to make concessions.
The President and his cabinet
were expected tomorrow to get down
to the consideration as to what is
reasonable time to be given the
factions to get together. 1t is con-
sidered certain that this would be
just what it said-probably not
more than fortnight at the most.

your pacifist attitude to the point of
dying for what you consider correct,
that is your own affair. There is
nothing in the fundamental principles
of scientific Socialism that has ever
demanded that kind of an anti-war
and anti-militarist attitude on the part
Of any member of the Socialist Party.
If you prefer to die for this attitude,
you should at least be aware of the
fact that you will not be dying for
anything which has been recognized
as a Socialist principle by the found
ers and acknowledged leaders of sci
entific Socialism. From my rather
extended knowledge of Socialists in
different countries | am willing to con-
fess that the vast majority OF the So
cialisis would be ready to die for any
real Socialist principle, if by so dying
they could advance the cause of So

Perhaps it will interest you to learn
that the German Socialists in the pres

foretold long ago that they should
have to do. In his letter to SORGE,
written on October oath. 1891, and
published in the collection of SORGE'S
correspondence, you will find the fol-

TheCity Elections
Socialists to Wage Great Battle for
Socialism in City Campaign

In two months time the city cleo
tons will be taking place. The So
cialists of Everett will have three can
didates in the field and we intend to
put up the greatest fight that has ever
been waged in a city election. The
campaign committee intends to have
copy Of the Northwest Worker sent
to every voter every week for five
weeks previous to election day. We
are getting our campaign material
ready, and If we don't make the Henry
Dubbs sit up and take notice we will
lose our guess. We will have real live
propaganda articles, all technical dis
cussions will be cut out, and we will
get down to the task of educating the
workers to the need of Socialism.
There will be at least 1000 names
on the voters list by that time and
every one must have the five copies
Of the paper. In order to do this we
must have a campaign fund. 1t will
take $500 to get the paper into the
hands of these voters and if 700 of
our readers will send dollar each to
the campaign fund the trick will be

do as we ask. We have some real
good things up our sleeve for the city
campaign, but If we are hampered fl
nancially they will not have the eff
feet they otherwise would. Now to
get down to brass tacks:
In the first place, we want you to
cut out the pocket guide published In
this issue and do ALL your shopping
with the merchants whose names we
publish, and show the advertiser the
guide every time you make pur-
chase.
Try and induce the present adver-
Users to increase the size of their ad.
Let them know that you buy of them
BECAUSE OF THE NORTHWEST
WORKER.
If for some reason you have been
dealing with merchant that does
not advertise, now is the time to get
right up to the boss and put the ques.
ton squarely up to him. Does he want
to retain your trade? Give him a
week to decide, and if at the end of
that time he does not come through
then it is up to you to decide whether
you are doing what is right by trad.
ing there.
Some merchants claim that they are
too poor to advertise. But we want
to point out that they do not sell their
goods at cost, therefore they make
money on what you purchase. If they
are not wise enough to spend little
of that money to retain your trade,
then it is not your lookout if they
lose it.
We are serious, and we hope our
readers will look at it in the same light
in which it is written. We are en-
tirely in your hands. Do you want
the paper or not? Your answer will
be with the advertisers.

ant parliamentary representation. In
fact, some Socialist leaders of Bel
GUM, France and England went to
greater lengths in supporting their
capitalist governments than the Ger
man Socialist representatives did. No
German Socialist accepted a position
as minister in capitalist cabinet.
However, | do not contend that those
Belgian, French and English Socialists
violated any Socialist principle. For
this reason | hold that Comrade Lon
guet, whom Comrade Carrie Allen
quotes correctly in her report, has no
cause to demand an account from the
German Socialists until he has settled
his own account with his own French
colleagues. If you and others feel that
you are kin to Longuet, Liebknecht,
Junior, and others of the same type of
mind, you are right. But before you
can claim that this type of mind rep
resents the only true type of Social
ism, you will have to square yourself
with the hitherto acknowledged found
ers and leaders of scientific Socialism,
who did not and do not share your at
titude. | am certainly the last man
who would assert that these men were
and are infallible, but if you want to
rob them of their historical claim to
the name of Socialists, it is up to you
to supply us with a new scientific
foundation of your true" Socialism
You must be aware that it is not the
most convincing method to establish
the scientific superiority of your atti-
tude by ihtimating that all those old
leaders of international Socialism
were towards who thought mainly OF
safety first" for their own personal
bodies. 1t is manifestly impossible to
create the foundation of a new Social
list science after your own image and
your own personal standard of Social
list morality.

TO OUR EDITORIAL
Editor The Northwest Worker,

Editor The Northwest Worker,
Dear Comrade! - Your interesting
reply to my open LETTER" seems
important enough to me to merit a
continuation of this discussion. | pre-.
sumo that you are of the same opinion
and will be able to find space for the
following remarks:
You emphatically assert that all
who do not endorse your attitude on
war and militarism are not real So
cialists, but merely call themselves
so. According to you, no real Social
list will take part in any capitalist
wars.
Evidently you are not aware that by
this sweeping assertion you condemn
the leading scientific Socialists Of the
world-even the founders of scien
tific Socialism themselves. MARX

full swing, and If our readers lend
their financial and moral support we
will romp home on election day with
the Socialists leading the field.

that when at last it crumbles and falls
that unless it discloses from within
it's ruins an edifice complete in every
respect and ready for immediate use
that chaos will result, so he is build

than the party organization.
The Red Card comrade knows that
our party organization lies parallel to
the political organization, that the po-
litical organization in every precinct,
county and in the state and nation is
completely duplicated by our party or
ganization, that when it is perfected
we will without hesitation be able to
take over the reins of government and
administer it without friction, just as
our party is governed today, and that
this is the big reason for it's existence.
Every comrade with a red card in his
pocket thinks with pride of the mighty
task before him; he knows that in all
the civilized world there is no or

as his, that our party organization is

them this work is due; without them

IPREME CRISIS IN HUMAN HIS

We charge that the Socialist Party
has failed to do It's duty in this "SU.
PREME CRISIS"
We have asserted that the Socialist
Party should have taken a positive
stand against participation in a CAPT

open to objections on grounds of ex
pediency Let us, therefore, beg the
question at this time.
But there are some things on which
all Socialists are agreed.
There is ONE THING IN PARTICU
LAR ON WHICH WE ARE ALL
AGREED.
We all admit that there was never
time in the history of the Socialist

YEARS AGO, WHEN WAR, WHAT

portion of the usually apathetic. We
were doing great work in those
days, selling this tremendously effec-

edition was gotten out, with heavy
paper cover, which could be sold at
SOC per copy. In all, about $4,000
cloth-bound books, and about $4,000
paper-bound volumes have been sold.

In a very short while we may be
compelled to suspend publication, We
are not telling you this because we
want you to dig down in your pockets
to keep the paper a-going. We are
not telling you this thinking we will
get your financial support in order to
keep the paper on its feet during the
city election. We are telling you this
because we have reached critical
stage in the publication of the paper.
1t is bad policy to talk of suspension
because we sometimes lose what sup
port we are getting, as rats always

there is nothing else for 1t. We must

After having eloquently declared in
its Anti-War Manifesto that THE
SUPREME CRISIS IN HUMAN HIS
TORY is UPON U.s." the Socialist
Party of the United States, through
it's National Committeeman. seems to
have spent it's whole force In Issuing
the following words:
1.-THE supreme duty Of the hour Is
for US, the Socialists Of all the world,
therefore, to summon all labor forces
Of the world for an aggressive and
uncompromisins opposition to the
whole capitalist system, and to ev-
cry form Of it's most deadly fruits
miltarism and war; to strengthen
the bonds Of working-cIass solidar-
ity; to deepen the currents Of con-
scious internationaIism, and to pro-
claim to the world constructive
program leading towards permanent
peace"
Just so. And now, comrades, what
are you doing to carry out this high
sounding declaration? Nothing. That's
it. Nothing!
IN TIMES LIKE THESE, THE IN
COMPARABLE TIME OF ALL THE
AGES, we, the great Socialist Party
of the United States, with a million
voters three years ago, stand content
with words, just words, reaching the
party members, Red Card men and
women, and that's about all.
For more than half a century the
Socialist movement has warned the
world of this impending tragedy. With
every power at their command the
Socialists of all nations have worked
to prevent it. But the warning has
gone unheeded and the Socialist propa-
ganda against Imperialism, militarism
and war has been ignored by the rul-
ing powers and the majority of the
people Of all the nations"
YES, AND THE STORM IS APP.
PREACHING!
AND WHAT ARE WE DOING TO
