Progressive Temple
BY Covington Hall
(From the International Socialist

Review
A negro was burned at Temple,
Texas, two or three months ago. The
victim had been accused of being the
principal in an atrocious murder but
it is freely charged that the real in
stigator of the murder was the first
one in the mob to apply match to
the wood piled round the doomed
man, 1t having been rumored that the
victim had agreed to turn states
evidence"
He was hung to telegraph pole
by chain, and, on the wires sup
ported by this pole, is sign bearing
the legend, PROGRESSIVE TEN
PIE"
Needless to say that Temple always
rolls up a big Democratic" majority,
that it is "solid Christian commun-
ity," is dry" as bone and Is firm
ly convinced that the IWW. is a most
"lawless organization"
We have had some" lynchings in
the South during the past year. Over
in Mississippi a mob lynched a negro
because they thought he was steal
ing mules" The sheriff came and cut
down the body, but, finding the coun-
ty had no money in it's treasury to
bury it, hung it to the tree again in
order to force the negroes to bury it.
Again, over in Mississippi, a young
negro farmer, working out in his barn,
heard his 17-year-old sister scream
ing for help. He rushed into the
house, found two drunken white men
asaulting her, attacked them, and, in
the ensuing struggle, killed one of
them and badly wounded the other
Then, recognizing that he was in a
highly Christian White Supremacy
community, community that would
not stand for "nigger" killing a
white man." he fled. The mob gath
cred and, failing to find him, TOOK
THE OUTRAGED GIRL OUT AND
LYNCHED HER!
Down on the border recently those
noble "preservers of lawanorder," the
Infamous Texas Rangers, posed before
a camera, showing themselves drag
ging down the public road, behind
their horses, the bodies of two Mexi-
cans-the bodies being at the end of
ropes, the ropes around the necks of
the dead. The Embellishments
press explained that "the Rangers did
not actually thus drag the dead, but
just POSED as so doing to please
a moving picture man" But these
photographs were then TAKEN put on
postal cards and circulated all over
northern Mexico. OF course we So
cialists are 'liars" when we assert
that th'S was done to anger Mexicans
to raid Texas in attempts to avenge
the hideous insult, for is not the gov
eminent of Texas composed of the
finest specimens of Supreme Whites"
on EARTH christian gentlemen" who
can do no wrong? Also, it is Gin
famous" to say that back of the pro-
motion of these bandit raids" stands
the oil, mining, railroad and lumber
kings of the great United States of
North America" for they are not in
the least interested in Intervention IN
Mexico.
Still, back of ALL these lynchings,
with few exceptions, stands the
mighty law of ECONOMIC DETER
MINISM. For the lynchings fan race
hatred into flame, and race hatred
divides the WORKERS against each
other and, divided, they fall easy
prey to the christian gentlemen to
whom God in his infinite wisdom has
confided the business interests of this
nation"

After Election Observations

The Spokane 1915 city election is
history, The game has been played,
the score has been published, the
prizes have been awarded. Let us
consider some facts regarding this
election:
About 10000 people live in Spo.
kane. Probably half this number, or
10000, are of voting age; 29,303 per
sons registered for this election and
22,61O voted. Thus policies and plans
that vitality affect all the people are
decided by one-sixth of the people.
Also, one-half the people of voting
age are prevented from voting for ono
reason or another, or they are too lazy
and indifferent to vote. The deplor.
able condition of a great part of the
people, morally, intellectually, and
economically, is due in great part to
this woeful Indifference of part of
the people. Another reason for I'M
satisfactory conditions Is the unwill-
lngness of so many to join any or
ganized portion of the people, and
work together for any definite pro
gram. Nonpartizanism Is little else
than political anarchy.
The winning candidates in this cleo.
ton, Argall, Funk and Fassett, re.
ceived respectively 1905, 1871 and 577l
first choice votes. That is, they were
elected" by one-sixteenth part of
the people. The Socialist candidates,
Andrews, Bungay and Ferguson, re-
ceived, respectively, 492, 439 and PIT
| first choice votes. This means that
not more than PIT voters, probably
less, voted for the three Socialist can
didates only. 1t means that such So
| cialist sentiment as there Is, Is sadly
lacking in organization and solidarity.
1t means that many who profess being
Socialists are individuallsts, that they
preach cooperation and practice COM
petition. 1t means that they reserve
the right" to support or oppose So
cialist nominees, depending on their
own idea of individual fitness of such
nominees. These election expert
ences are exceedingly valuable in that
they point out how much real pro-
gress We are making in the most i'm
portant part of revolutionary action,
that is in organization and solidarity.
They show us where to concentrate
our efforts in future work
What is called organized labor"
that is the labor union part of the
people (only in small part acting with
the Socialist party showed in this
election Of same woeful lack of Or
ganization and solidarity. While some
candidates proclaimed in very quiet
way their affiliation with labor unions
not one of them openly and boldly
invited support because of his con-
nection with labor organizations. Or
ganized labor must learn to carry on
it's political activity openly and demo-
cratically, rather than secretly and
through ambitious leaders.

A ronaring, madcap, be,vitch-
ing Irish girl, as Irish as St. Pat
rick's day in the morning, is
turned oper to the care of arts
focratic English relatives. Thew
are stiff and artificial, and she
rs IS sweet and natural as a
healthy country girl can be.
They dislike her, but Peg holds
her own with jaunty pride and in
the end, by her generosity and
big heorfedness, wins them yer
and, what is more, wins her for
tune, and, what is still more, wins
a very gallant lover. This, in
briet is the story of a play
which by its originality, sweet
ness and charm has been one of
the most phenomenal successes
View York has seen in a long
time. The author of the play
has turned it into q novel, so
sympatheticaHy, so brilliantly,
that Peg as a heroine of fiction
rs as zovable as she was on the
stage.
