System 10 to Blame.

I'm working for my own pocket
all the time" When Richard Croker
voiced this statement lot of good
people held up their hands In right
eous indignation. But why should
they? This one time chief of Tam
many Hall was simply more honest
than a lot Of people. Croker was no
hypocrite. He worked for his own
economic interests and admitted 1t.
What else can the average man do
under the present damnable system
but work for his own pocket:
It's not men who are wrong. It's
the system. The system makes men
do wrong when their natural instinct
is to do right, No normal man gets any
pleasure from seeing other men live in
poverty and want This is II world of
plenty. Every intelligent man knows
that there is enough produced for ali
to live in comfort. but every intelligent
man also knows that in or,ltr to live

know Is that better system Is possi

in comfort without detra"ting the least
from the opportunity Of others to live
likewise in comfort.
A change from the private ownership
of the means OF life to collective own
ership of the means of life will do It,
Under Socialism a man can work for
his own interests without hurting the
interests Of others. He can't do it to-
day under capitalism. AS things are

Local Everett No. at It's regular
session last Sunday night took In four
new members. These, together with
the old members paying up, kept the
financial secretary busy cancelling
stamps.
Promptly at o'clock Chairman
Davy announced that the trial of II.
4. Whartenby was the next thing on
the docket. Comrade Whartenby
plead not guilty to the charge of party
treason. Cutting out all the hot air
on both sides, Il amounted to this:
Whartenby claimed that, inasmuch as
he was under suspension at the time,
he was out Of the party and the local
had no jurisdiction This point was
thrashed out and the chair ruled he
was still a member OF the local. The
rest was easy, az there was no ques-
ton about his filing for the office of
school director. When put to vote
he was found guilty, 20 to 1, and on
ilotioh W tApeil MN iIoHl tue ioCHi
carried 90 to 0.
The old question Of changing the
business meetings to some other
night Of the week and holding propa-
ganda meetings on Sunday nights,
was again laid on the table until next
meeting. We opine that like Banquo's
Ghost that question will not down and
we might as we'll thresh it out one time
as another. Come out everybody next
Sunday night and help us settle 1t.
