"Where the Great
City Stands"

In entering the present campaign
for the election of three city commits
sioners from the Socialist Party, Nov.
End, the Northwest Worker, as spokes-
man for the three working-class nom
inees, namely, ]. NJ Salter, Katherine
III. Hodgins and G. w, Carr, does so
with strong, conscientious convic-
ton that the election of these three
candidates would help in making of
Everett a great city
What is great city,"
Half century ago, one of Ameri-
cas- greatest poets, Walt Whitman,
declared that
The place where a great city stands
is not the place of stretch'd wharves,
docks. manufactures. deposits of pro-
duce merely;
Nor the place of ceaseless salutes
of newcomers or the anchor-lifting of
the departing;
Nor the place Of the tallest and
costliest buildings or shops selling
goods from the rest of the earth;
Nor the place of the best libraries
and schools, nor the place where mon
ey is plentiest;
Nor the place of the most numerous
population.
Where the city stands with the
brawniest breed of orators and bards;
Where the city stands that is be-
lov'd OF these, and loves them in re-
turn and understands them;
Where no monuments exist to
heroes but in the common words and
deeds;
Where thrift is in it's place, and
prudence is in its place;
Where women walk in public pro-
cessions in the streets the same as
the men;
Where they enter the public assem-
bly, and take places the same as the
men;
Where the city of the faithfullest
friends stands
Where the city of cleanliness of the
sexes stands;
Where the city of the healthiest
fathers stands:
Where the city of the best-bodied
mothers stands,
There the great city stands.

Like the invasion of an enemy ap- proximately one hundred and fifty members of the Woodmen of the World swooped down upon the town last night and were given the free dom of the city without a struggle. It would be hard to imagine a livelier bunch of boosters for a lodge than that displayed by the visitors last night. They arrived at the Arizona & Eastern station on a special train about eight o'clock and were imme- diately escorted to the up town dis trict and later to the hall where the work of initiating more than twenty candidates into the mysteries of the order was commenced. Following the initiation a lunch was served Jnd it was a late hour when the last visitor had departed for the station to take the train for home. The Woodmen lodge is one of the livest organizations of the city and is ably assisted by the auxiliary degree the Ladies' Circle. which held it's grand convention at this place last month.

 CLASS PLAY CALLED OFF
 The senior class play, The Scare crowj' which had been advertised for the Mesa opera house on Sat urday evening of this week has been called off on account of a miniature rebellion among the members of the graduating class which had it's in- cipiency Tuesday evening at a class picnic. According to the very best available information, the picnic gave promise of being a well regu- lated affair with harmony and ice cream predominating. However, it is said that six of the senior young men conceived the idea of inviting six young ladies, who are not members Of the senior class to accompany them on the picnic and therein lies the seat of the trouble There are eleven young Lien graduates and nine young ladies who have fought the good cfight and finished the course of the Mesa Union High school According to unwritten law it WOUld be permissible for the tenth and eleventh young man to invite girls who are not members of the class to accompany the party but when six of them break over the traces IT was entIfely too many. me plans provided that the young folks to meet at the school building and proceed to the picnic ground under tke chaperonage of members of the faculty. When the time for the meeting came around the six young men with their chosen girl friends from witholt the confines of the 1915 class roster, were at the appointed place but there were no others ap- peared. The remaining members of the class had appropriated the re- treatments, Kidnapped the 'chaper- ones and hied themselves away to parts unknown. The six couples left behind picnicked as best they could without refreshments in the vicinity of the High School Building. How ever they nursed their revenge and from that artistic temperament there sprung a plan to organize an army with six generals whose duty it would be to uphold the honor of their class. From that day unto this there has been coldness akin - freezing among the graduates. Com mencement has passed but the class play has suffered and the government al Washington still lives.
