SEATTLE STAR LANDS
ON COL. HARTLEY,
EVERETT REPRESENTATIVE
MARROW BETWEEN THE EYES"

Take a close look at Representative
Hartley, OF Everett, if you ever get
the chance. Don't miss it. You'll
see why big. brainy, capable, intelli-
gent. broad-minded men like Prot An
CELL, dean of the University of Chi
cago, refuse to accept the presidency
of the University of Washington.
You'll see a grown-up man who is
fearfully narrow between the eyes.
Big men, like Angel, would never
permit dictation from the narrow
eyed men, Broad-minded men prefer
to advise with men who have at least
a thimbleful of brains on how big
state institution should be run.
Imagine a man like Angel kowtow-
ing and fawning before Representative
Hartley and his like in the legislature,
begging, supplicating, pleading for a
building appropriation that should
have been given the university at
least two years ago. And then watch
Hartley thunder:
"Why do you teach socialism at the
university"
Can you imagine Prof. Angel reply
ing in the spirit of President Landes
answer:
please, sir, don't be angry. We
discourage socialism. We don't teach
it at the university"
What a spectacle
.Yaes Mr. IartIev. the University OF
Washington students study socialism.
It may even widen your eyes to
learn that they study the doctrines of
Confucius. Also the doctrines of pro-
tective tariff, and free trade, and a
lot of other things.
They study these things because
they constitute part of human
knowledge.
Education is meant to broaden the
mind, not to narrow it. The univer-
sity teaches, it doesn't advocate, these
various political doctrines.
III Glenn Hoover, university gradu-
ate, is socialist, then John G. Hig-
gins is a standpatter. If Tom Muir
phine is a progressive, then Howard
Cosgrove gives three rousing cheers
every time Taft's name is mentioned.
A FEW LESS HARTLEYS IN THE

TIONAL INSTITUTION. 1T is NOW

| Most readers of this paper are fami-

cialist teachers have endured at the
hands of capitalist school boards and
capitalist county superintendent.
Now if you have one drop of red
blood in you get out March and do
your duty. We have strength enough
right now in this state to carry scores
of small towns and rural districts

arouse Socialists to action in this mat
ter, and right here allow me to suggest
that you elect only party members.
Others will not stand fire. This is
no place for a weakling. I talked to
certain Socialist directors last spring
who seemed to be timid about doing
business with Socialist teacher for
fear the county superintendent would
not like it or, as they expressed it,
"They wanted to preserve harmony in
the district"
Say, what do you know about that?
But it did not seem to disturb their
serene sense of harmony particle to
see Socialist teachers fired and their
certificates revoked.
But aside from this point of simple
justice to the teacher, many are no
doubt asking what is to be gained as

More than by any other means during
the transition period from c.Ditaia.rnas-.
to Socialism. The pinhead who first
thought there was going to be some
shortcut, easy road to Socialism has
long ago been disillusioned. We now
see that it is going to be a long DULL
and hard pull. The foundations for
the cooperative commonwealth are
now being laid in tears and blood.
The one mightiest weapon within the
reach of the working class today is
the school.
lnls blgotry in religion, this lingo
patriotism, this hero worship. this dis
torting the philosophy of history
must be met by teachers who under
stand the truth and are not afraid to
teach it. There are hundreds of wide
awake rebel teachers waiting to be
turned loose. They despise to teach
what they do not believe, but some
nave families and loved ones depend
ent on them and are bound hand and
foot by their masters. So come to
their help. Strike the blow March
and free these teachers. Capitalism
has shrivelled up our souls, and dried
up our manhood. Our fathers could
not have been made into such cringing
slaves, Strike the chains from your
teacher. Loosen his tongue that he
may teach the truth

SOCIALISM AND THE STATE
UNIVERSITY
BY BRUCE ROGERS.

If the statement made by Acting
President Landes before the legisla
ture that the university is an agency
for stamping out Socialism is taken
seriously, that institution will be very
much misunderstood.
Socialism bears the same relation
to the science of sociology as do the
doctrines of evolution to the science
of biology or any other department Of
scientific research. In the larger
scientific sense Socialism enters any
university when it's laboratories are
installed and the only way they may
be made agencies for stamping out
any science would be to remove the
! departments of inquiry. In which
event they would cease to be univer
rites in any genuine sense and be
come mere monasteries. Even Their
they would fail of the results desired
because genuine schools would ap
pear.
Universities are essentially icono
elastic and destructive of mildewed
dogmas. The more renowned the uni
versity the more pronounced is this
tendency. 1t should be known here
that the faculties of Harvard and al
leading universities furnish many
names upon the roster of the Inter
Collegiate Socialist society. No tory
hostility can remove them from theil
chairs. Their standing as educator:
is so high that to DO so would be to
break down the usefulness of the in
situations. 1t would be like taking the
services of Mr.. Charles P. Steinmetz
from the General Electric company.
The writer entered the University of
Texas a democrat I learned the rudi-
ments of Socialism from the present
secretary of agriculture, DR.. David
Houston, then occupying the chair of
political science. All that he did was
to throw the subject of political econ
omy open to all the light that might
be afforded upon it. l know person
ally that is exactly what DR.. J. Allen
Smith, of Washington, does so ably
and that is the unavoidable function
OF any university department. A
frogs foot under a microscope tells
its story direct to the intelligence of
the student. No taking alchemy or
vlcarious intermeddling can paint
your ancient lies under spectrum ana
lysis.
Gentlemen, you can no more keep
this thing back than you can turn
back the tides. There is no way ito
stamp out Socialism short of blight.

It's frightening light In a we'll of ig-
norance as happened to Hindu civili-

the people that to advance further
would be to offend the gods. And this
you cannot do If this legislature
fails to build university worthy of a
name beside the best it will but make
way for a Socialist legislature that
will do it.
Moral: If you do not wish children
to learn Socialism, don't send them to
school, Don't educate them.

TRIBUNE s DEFENSE OF COL.
HARTLEY WEAK


properly bawied out by the Seattle
Star, out comes the Tribune with a
roundabout apology, or something, that
was intended to make its readers be-
lieve that Hartley is not Marrow Be-
tween the Eyes"
Falling back upon local patriotism
that same old excuse for any kind of
wrong or ignorance-the Tribune's
editor attempts to evade the issue by
raising the point of Seattle's jealousy
(?) of "the people of the rest of the
state" namely, the people of Everett.
1.-The Star is particularly wrought
up because Hartley does not favor
chucking lot of the peoples money
into an institution in Seattle" says
Mr.. Hartley's apologist.
Just so. If ''the people of the rest
of the state" want to keep univer-
sity, why not transplant it to Everett,
where Mr. Hartley has real estate,
and where the Tribune would like to
have more subscribers?
Why should statesman" from Ev-
erett support state institution locat-
ed in Seattle? The Tribune's editor
shrinks from such discriminating
patriotism 1t will see to it that "Se-
attic" does not "get hand in the
grab-bag" at Olympia
After this amusing little attempt to
stir up local animosity and jealousy
about Seattle's righteousness, the
Tribune's editor comes e the point
at issue. the question Of supporting
the State University on terms dictated
by Colonel Honorable HartIey--oh
yes, and the Tribune.
WHAT'S THE DIFF?
The Honorable Colonel did not him
self make the amusing pretence that
he refused to vote for the needed ap-
preparation because the U. of w. hap
pened to be located near Seattle. No,
this little diversion is the sole crea-
ton of the Tribune's editor He had
to say something to avoid the question
of academic freedom, the real point
at issue, SO he thought he'd put over
that two-penny patriotic stuff. What
is taught at university doesn't mat
ter much the Tribune declares.
But the Colonel doesn't agree with
his apologist.
The Colonel will give no money to
the State University unless he, as A
member of the exploiting class, can
tell the professors what to teach and
what not to teach.
If the professors will not teach CAPT
talist-class politics in the State Uni
versity, either fire the professors or
abolish their jobs by abolishing the
study" of political economy. That's
what the Colonel said. He made no
pretence about Seattle's "hand in the
grab-bag."
Hartley was narrow enough between
the eyes 10 teacn something at Olym-
pia that is carefully concealed by
President Landes' fIattening-out pro-
cess at the university. Everett's
Honorable" taught, right out in the
open, that the State University is a
capitalist-class institution, under the
domination of BUSINESS, and that it's
funds will be shut off unless its pro-
fessors agree to teach what profit
mongers want taught, and to leave I'M
taught all those things which labor
SINNERS disapprove of as members of
the exploiting class.
Thanks, Hartley, awfully. You're
so much more convincing than any
editorial bawl-out could be.

kind; it's surely a winner when it
comes to counting ballots.
Kind sir, for your special guidance,
and as information regarding the po.

which is now engrossing the minds
of the thinking people throughout the
world, / would most respectfully call

Zeppelin Bombs.

There are many different kinds OF
bombs dropped from Zeppelins and
aircraft. They are divided into two
main classes-explosive and incen-
diary bombs The explosive ones are
divided again into those dropped with
no initial velocity, and those propelled
with high initial velocity in somewhat
the same way as bullet is propelled
from gun. The first kind of explo-
sive bomb is more used than the Sec
ond, and explodes upon hitting the
ground In an article on the "Zeppe-
lin Question" by Mr.. Prade, published
in translation in the Scientific Ameri-
can for April 5, 1915, it is stated that
nowhere have bombs been found
weighing more than 40 kilos (10S
pounds This was the weight" says
Mr.. Prade, "of the bomb found intact
at Yarmouth. Large naval d.
rigibles which appeared over the Eng
lish coast certainly had not 1000 kilos
(2,204 pounds) of explosives on board,
which is proved by the fact that they
did not throw that number, as they
would hardly have returned with any
unthrown." From this Mr.. Prade
proves that the bombs do not weigh
more than SO kilos at most, and that
each Zeppelin carried at the most 20
bombs.

EASY TO DYE AT HOME
NO NEED TO SEND MATERIALS
TO PROFESSIONALS.
Housewife May Save Much Expense
and Achieve Equally Good Results
by Doing the Work Herself
Some Useful Hints.

In almost every household in the
spring and fall there are articles for
household and personal use that must
be sent to the dyers. These can be
done equally well at home.
Now that one dye can be bought
which will answer alike for silk, cot
ton and wooden fabrics, success is
well-nigh assured if the directions on
the packet are strictly followed. These
are usually explicit, and experienced
dyers need no other; but the amateur
is apt to strike snags despite dlrec-
tons. She may not think it necessary
to clean the article to be dyed. but oil
or grease of any kind kills dye, SO
that any garment known to be greasy
at all should be soaked in warm So
luton of ammonia and water for hall
an hour, then thoroughly rinsed in
hot water before going into the dye
pot. Cotton goods should be washed
in hot soapsuds and given a thorough
rinsing. To leave soap in will inter
fere with the dye.
When dyeing cotton or mixed goods
they should be allowed to become cold
in the dye bath. Dyes set very SLOW
ly in these fabrics, so the cooling pro-
cess is necessary to success. WOOL
ems, on the contrary, absorb the dye
quicker, and may be rinsed while hot.
Closely woven wooden goods should be
boiled little longer than those loose
ly woven.
Wooden goods of any weave should
never be allowed to boil fast. gen.
tie simmering will bring the best re-
suits. If boiled, violently, the tiny
hairs mat and cause shrinkage, De-
sides making the material close and
board-like.
The fiber of linen, being harder and
tougher than that of wool. silk or
mixed goods, requires longer and
faster boiling. Linen should be al
lowed to boil until the desired shade
is obtained. This will be longer than

toned.
Silks are so often weighted with fill
ers that on dyeing them they will. fall
apart. 1t has been proved that six
teen ounces of silk can, with filters,
be made to weigh double that amount.
Good silks, satins and ribbons will dye
satisfactorily, but it is a waste of time
to bother with cheap silks. 1t will be
better to wash them through and use
for Innings or trimmings when making
over garments.
Two different articles may be dyed
to match If they are the same color
before being dyed. If otherwise. 1t ia
practically impossible to dye them to
match, but they will dye black.
The home dyer should guard against
overdyeing. Use only the quantity
given in the directions.
Never wiring dyed articles too firm
ly. and always dry in the shade. The
dyeing process goes on until the arti-
Gle is dry, consequently any portions
exposed to the sun will dry quickly
and the result will be a streaky gar
| ment.
