Good Words From Good Source

That the liquor traffic has been, and is, source
of to cities, nations is beyond dis
pute That the traffic furnishes employment thou-
sands of in this country is likewise true That it
supplies market for the produce of the farm cannot
be denied. But that is only side of the question
The manufacture of poison also furnishes employ
ment to great many persons but because that is true
do not urge the extensive of poison in order
to furnish more employment. The manufacture of
artificial limbs is quite industry, but do not urge
people to cut off their legs to furnish work to those
engaged in making artificial limbs.
The immoderate use of Intoxicating liquors
throws and out of work and keeps
them out of work. than the number that find employ
ment in it's manufacture. 1t does more to fill our
jails and poorhouses than any other influence in the
world. 1t breaks up homes and causes
misery than any other agency in the world. In view
of these facts should the traffic be tolerated because
it furnishes employment to comparatively few and
source of revenue at the cost Of the degradation of
millions Steam Shovel and Dredge.

Chemistry and Law in Liquor Prosecutions

Get Poor Quick WalIingford

S. w. Strauss, president Of the American Thrift
Society," writing in Business" says:
"A certain amount of pleasure is needed by all
classes; there cannot be efficient work where there
play but there is doubt that billion dollars
is spent every year by the people OF the United States
on ndulgences which not only cannot be described
pleasures but which do permanent physical and moral
harm"
This is terrible side-swipe at John Barleycorn
and from an unexpected angle, too. His policy has
always been, BE good fellow; spend your money
freely and forget about the rainy day, ahead This
talk about thrift is bad enough when it is confined
to business applied to pleasure, it is cruel"
\ certain Wallingford might write about getting
rich quick, but for John Bareycorn, he prefers
those jolly unketngs which separate speedily
from his last months pay.
Besides, thrift means a certain degree of self
restraint and se-restraint inereres with personal
liberty"

National Prohibition

For the first time in history the question of Pro-
hibtion has been given serious consideration the
floor of Congress- While the vote in the House of
Representatives the Hobson resolution failed of
the necessary two-thirds for adoption, it showed
a ma ority of members recorded on the dry side To
bring this matter to vote has been impossible
in former sessions and the mere fact that it al
lowed in the present Congress- is significant sign of
the steadily growing sentiment toward government
Prohibition. Friends of the resolution did ex-
pect that it would pass 1t served well its intended
purpose of placing members record and attracting
national attention to the Importance Of the liquor
question. The fact that congressman generally faced
the issue courageously and not only voted but ex
pressed their convictions openly and honestly is
couragng. Of course, some lodged the real issue
technical grounds The question of states rights pre-
scented convenient shield for some. Both sides pro-
fess be we'll satisfied with the result the opposition
proclaming it great victory for the liquor interests.
No matter what Interpretation may choose, it
be conceded that the drift of the times is toward
restriction if not extinction of the whisky business.
The vote in Washington in way changes this fact.

FRUIT FOR SOLDIERS
SOLD TO OTHERS

A Tasmania orchardist who gave
some cases of fruit for the troops,
put his card in each case. Five cards
have come back TO him. -Four Of them
were sent by people who allege that
they are connected with the fruit
trade, and one by a Canadian soldier
who got it in some fruit which he
bought, he says, at shop. Others
who had given fruit have had similar
experiences The official explanation
Is that some of the fruit was so de-
cayed and rotten that it was not con
sidered fit for the troops and was sold
to defray expenses. This no doubt &C
counts for the fact that some of the
fruit shop people already referred to
comment on the fine quality of the
fruit and say how much better it was
than they can usually buy!

LANE INTRODUCES LONDON
RESOLUTION

WASHINGTON.-T first resolu-
ton by a Socialist member of con-
gress to be also introduced in the
United States senate has been pre-
scented in the upper house by Senator
Lane, of Oregon, Democrat. This
is the resolution offered on the open
ing day of the present session by
Representative London. 1t calls upon
President Wilson to convene a con-
gress of neutral nations to attempt
to mediate between the warning ma
lions of Europe. Lane offered the
measure in the identical form used
in London's proposal in the House.
1t is this resolution which has at
tracted widespread and favorable no.
tice in the press in Great Britain as
well as in the German Socialist press
in America.

BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
WASTED BY AMERICA
Farmers Get only Thlrty-fiVe Cents
Of Dollar Spent by Consumer,
Experts Say

CHARLESTON, N C.-Nine billion
dollars Is the price American farm
ers get for their crops every year,
while enough Is added by middlemen
so that the consumers pay twenty
seven billion dollars for the same
crop, according to the statement of
rural credit and marketing experts
before the Southern Commercial Con
grcss.
Members of the congress were told
by speakers favoring rural credit
legislation that the farmer gets 35
cents and the middleman Go cents of
each dollar the consumer pays for the
farmers crops. There is an enor-
nous amount of waste, especially in
perlshable products, because of the
lack of central directing market In

WAR TRUST STEALING
COUNTRY BLIND

Congressman c. II. Tavenner has
caused to be printed in the Congress
sional Record facts which show that
the war trust has for years been
stealing this country blind.
Our "MiIltarlsm" Worse Than Ger
many's
During the year 1912, our entire
revenue, not including postal receipts,
amounted to $702,0OO,000 OF this we
expended 1854 100000 to defray the
entire expense of the government;
$440, 100000, or 67.SS per cent, was
paid out for war and on account of
war. Just before the outbreak of the
present European war, Germany was
spending So per cent of her revenues
for war and on account of war; Japan,
As per cent; Freat Britain. 81 per
cent, and France 35 per cent.
Our army contained 91,416 men;
navy, 52,757 men. German army dur
ing the year indicated contained &c.,
900 men; navy, 66,7S3 men; Japanese
army, 100000 men; navy, 51,054 men,
with a reserve naval force of 114,000
men. Great Britain, army, 254,500
men; navy, 137,500 men, France,
army, 100000 men; navy, 6O,621 men.
Great Britains revenue was greater
than ours by nearly $300,OO0,0O0, but
our expenses for war and on account
of war were more than $100,000,000
greater than hers. Yet the aggregate
of her army and navy was nearly
four times as great as ours.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, Happy Now Year.
Nothing but hollow sound,
In a world of woe and sorrow
Happiness cannot be found
Signs and sobs our hearts are stirring
Dronched with blood is Mother
Earth;
Men disabled, women, children
Robbed and banished from the
hearth,
Love thine enemy, thy neighbor,
Peace on Earth, good will to men
Idle words expressed by people
With their tongue and with their
pen,
Torn hearts and broken bodies;
Poisoned minds and shattered
brains;
Crippled morals, darkened visions,
Weakened strength and frightened
chains.
Mothers, sisters, sweethearts, daugh.

Sacrificed to Mammon's Greed;
What of the agonies of Millionsl
What If all the world does bleed!
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year
Mockery, Satanic joker,
Not until our shackles vanish
And discarded is our yoke.

SOCIALISTS SHOULD
VOTE FOR ROAD BONDS

AS long as we are compelled to live
under the capitalist system we should
make it point to get all we can out
of it.
The building of good roads will
help develop the system which must
outgrow it's usefulness before it can
be overthrown.
The necessaries of life can only be
obtained by selling our labor power.
The building of good roads will en-
able the local residents to sell their
labor power
If you own a house or farm, the
tax for this work will amount to
about $1.00 on property assessed at
$500; but in the long run the taxes
will be reduced some 40 per cent,
as the county commissioners have
pledged.
Farmers will be enabled to get a
better price for their produce as
they will be able to get it to the con-
sumner at less cost than at present.
The road building will take four or
five years; thus it will give work to
those that need it during that time.
The bond issue will amount to ST.
813,S00 most of which will go for
wages. Most of this money will stay
in Snohomish county, which means
that the money will be in constant
circulation, thus giving work to 9th
ers than those employed on road
work
Socialists have nothing to lose by
voting for these bonds and we sug
gest that you make it a point to be
at the polls on Dec. % and vote FOR
this bond issue.

FOR WAR TO THE END

Socialist members of the German
Reichstag decided in party caucus
that the reply OF Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg to peace queries
was entirely satisfactory.
They voted there was, therefore, nc
reason for hostility toward the gov
eminent, "whose enemies have been
continually stating that it favored an,
nexation."
This resolution, it is understood
passed the caucus by large major.
ity A few radicals, including Dr.
Liebknecht, dissented.

MILLIONS FOR LAW MAKING

This will be a "Billion-and-a-quar
ter" congress. The first session of
the Sixty-fourth congress that opened
recently will be asked by the various
federal departments to appropriate
$1,285 ,S57,S0S for the expenses of run
ming the government for year. This
tops the greatest sum in the past by
hundreds of millions. The capitalist
system is so rotten that billions have
to be spent in order to bolster it up.

WILL YOU DO 1T?

1t is perhaps too early for the reg
istering of disappointment in connec-
ton with our request that our friends
get together and kill the $3.50 deficit
that we have sustained during the
past years operations. We are writ
ing these lines Monday afternoon,
and our readers have hardly had time
to respond to our appeal for aid. We
are bound to admit, however, that
time enough has elapsed to give
nearby comrades an opportunity to
furnish us some tangible evidence
that they believe this paper is worth
at least the little that il cost the
movement of Washington: But we
have received little to encourage us
in our work, thus far. AS both the
editor and the business manager are
working at a merely nominal wage,
and serving the paper with the same
enthusiasm and assiduity that would
be given were the wages normal the
cost of living), we are not backward
in calling upon the hundreds of good
comrades who are drawing a decent
port of our party-owned press. Uet
us reiterate here that this paper be-
longs to and is controlled by the
county organization of this section,
no one having any voice in its af-
fairs who is not a Red Card member).
We see nothing to be ashamed of
that we should have fallen behind
to the extent of $3.50 during the past
year of industrial depression. 1t
means that during the improved con-
ditions of the presidential year there
will be no deficit at all. "Sure?"
Yes, certain. And this is the basis
for our gertrude: We have cut down
our yearly cost of operation by $500.
So, even were things no better in
1915 than in 1915, we would still be
$3.50 to the good, on this basis, at
the end of next year. And We'll run
on this basis if we have to. Under
the circumstances, we feel that it is
unjust, as well as ill-advised, to ask
the editor and the business manager
to stand the whole loss of the $3.50
deficit. Seeing that they work for
next to nothing in the way of wages,
they ere at least entitled to assistance
in starting the presidential year free
of encumbrances. We feel that we
have, all things considered, made
good" and our years effort should be
approved" in some substantial form,
and that form should be the wiping
out of the comparatively small de-
ficit.
Were each reader who is ABLE
also WILLING, it would require
very small sum from each one to
give US a clean slate to start with
New Years Day.
Will YOU do it?
VIII YOU do your little part?
If you can't spare a dollar, send
a quarter.
If you can't spare quarter, send
ten cents. But send something!
Show your GOOD WILL, if it's
only by five cents in stamps.
Let us know that YOU, at least, be-
lieve that the paper deserves to live,
if not to prosper.
Do something to let us know that
your heart is with US, at any rate. --
