ONE AND ONLY WAY TO ABOLISH
WARS--REFUSE TO FIGHT
LIEBKNECHT'S SON REFUSES
TO SALUTE KAISER

The Preussische Kreuzzeitung re-
lates that during one of the numerous
patriotic festivals in the public schools
of Berlin a teacher, in closing a dis
course to the pupils, cried, "Hoch der
kaiser!"
All the children arose except one
lad of IL years. He was the son OF
Karl Liebknecht. The father was sum-
moned into court to explain the boys
conduct.
what can you expect?" he asked.
"The boy has already formed his per-
sonal opinions and that is his manner
of expressing them"

OBJECT TO OPEN SHOP

A number of employers say they
believe that union workmen do not
mind so much the proposed wage cut
as they do the open shop feature of
the new program. On the other
hand, workmen say it is the wage re-
duction and not the open shop move
ment they dislike.
While some labor men say it is the
wage cut, and not the open shop fea-
ture which is protested, others look
upon the Notice" given as the begin
ming of movement to crush unionism
in general in Everett. This was the
view expressed by J. Olinger, of the
Electrical Workers union, in the
Trades Council last Friday evening.
Olinger stated that his union had gone
on record as favoring a general strike,
If such might be necessary, to support
the shingleweavers. Capital is at
lacking the strongest union in the city
in this fight and it is up to organized
i"poi " otduu up duu ll6Ht III d UOuy
back of the shingleweavers, for if we
allow them to be beaten, it will mean
our finish later. / wish to go further
and propose that the committee
which will visit the unions be instruct
ed to present the situation in it's en-
tirety and ask every union for re-
ferendum vote on the idea of gen.
eral sympathetic strike" His speech
was followed by several others Of
similar tone and 1t was evident that
the sentiment of the council was
strong for the general strike should
it prove necessary There was not a
dissenting voice in the Trades Coun-
ell at the proposal of Olinger that the
several delegates be asked to secure
a referendum vote of their unions on
the general strike.
The mill owners intend to operate
their plants again in the not distant
future, and under terms dictated abso-
lutely by themselves. And why not?
And in case of an invasion of the
United States by foreign capitalists,
why should the Yankee wage-slaves
rush to the defense Of property over
which they have no Say So? Let
the bosses defend the property of the
bosses. Not?

WHICH DO YOU CHOOSE?

Blessed is even now our privilege.
We have our choice, to live as indi-
viduals,, and on our death bed look
in despair on dreary hateful life
of play-acting, or, as Socialists, fill
our existence with those serious
moods that make the grand tone OF
life, and in the hour of death stand
on the mountain top, as it were, and
see with entranced eyes the rays OF
the sun that will soon illuminate the
dark valley below. l deem it worth
ten crucifixions to win for my mem

adhering love which millions of the
noblest men have felt for Christ

SHINGLE-W WORKERS
REJECT WAGE CUT
Mills Close for Indefinite
Period
SKULL PLANT WORKS UNDER
DIFFICULTIES

Every single mill in Everett ex-
cepting the Shull plant has closed
for an indefinite period. The latter
plant is importing scab workers, but
is shy on sawyers. Hundreds of jeer-
ing, hooting, men, boys, women and
children crowd around the "scabs" as
they are taken in automobiles to and
from the mill. The life Of open-shop
hands" is by no means an enviable
one!
The trouble started when the eight
leading mills Of Everett posted no.
tice saying
NOTICE
Beginning Monday morning, March
8, this mill will be operated on the
following conditions:
First: We will employ only such
men as we please, organized or unor-
ganized, and will discharge anyone
when in our judgment 1t is necessary.
Second: All work is to be done as
directed and disobedience Of instruc-
tions will cause instant discharge.
Third; The wage scale from the
above mentioned date will be as fol-
lows:
Upright Sawyers.
13c per M for saving Stars and
Clears; 10c per M for saving Gull or
second grade.
Packing.
SC per M for all grades; straight
courses.
Proportionate reductions certain
other day wage positions.
Following the posting of all shin
gle mills in Everett with the proposed
new wage scale decided on by en-
ployers, together with references to
the open shop movement and other
provisions of the mill owners pro-
gram, single plants of Mukilteo were
similarly posted. In no instance, de-
clare mill owners, did any single
mill in Everett eliminate any of the
provisions.
At the Shull plant, where the open
shop-wage reduction policy was
launched, there has been little oper-
alton, for while the management says
it has more packers than required, it
is short on sawyers.

THE COMPETITIVE SYSTEM

Call we that society where there
is no longer any social idea extant;
not so much as the idea of a COM
mon home, but only of a common,
over-crowded lodging house? Where
each isolated, regardless of his neigh
Dor, turned against his neighbor,
clutches what he can get and cries
Mine" and calls it peace because
bin the cut-purse and cut-throat scram-
cunninger sort can be employed

The Play of the Farm Wife

In the last twenty or thirty years,
the development of the farm has
changed so that high priced machinery
is a necessity in making the farming
operations a success.
Not so have the internal home con-
ditions changed. The same house, the
same inconvenience that were in use
fifty or more years ago are, in many
cases, in use today, and because they
were good enough for mother or
grandmother, they are good enough
for my wife today" How little does
the average farmer realize that the
ultimate success of his farm depends
upon his wife upon the conveniences
she has which will lessen her work,
and give her more time to make the
home attractive, and keep the child
rem contented and happy on the farm.
A wife is a necessity on a farm, but
The Lamar register. [volume] (Lamar, Colo.) 1889-1952, 1915-10-06

unless she is spared much of the hard
drudgery and unnecessary labor, she
will soon give out.
DIR. Curtis says in speaking of the
Farm Wife" "The work she does
today she will do tomorrow and so
on to the end. There is no direct re-
ward for her work. If the work is
uninteresting the hours must be pro-
portionately short, for the life of the
spirit the only life that is worth living
must come outside the work"
The greatest interest and recreation
must come through the family, and
if the possibilities of the home make
it so, the wife can manage to give
few minutes each day to some in
structive reading, and little study
Of the conditions under which she
works and how best to remedy them.
Occasional visits to friends and neigh
bors, or to some community center,
membership in club, visiting and
taking an interest in the rural school,
all these add to the livableness of life.
Some regular organized game hour
would do much to help in the spirit of
living, as well as to tend to keep one
in better physical condition. Play
with ones husband and children brings
; one to the realization of much that
is Of pleasure and value.-Edwina NJ.

SIX HUNDRED EDUCATED AMI
MAILS
Barnes Circus Has Great Array Of
Educated Wild Animals-65 Big
Acts

Without doubt, some of the most
sensational, thrilling, death-defying
wild animal acts ever shown are pre-
scented by the AL G. Barnes Wild Ami
NAL circus.
Over 600 educated wild and domes-
tic animals are used in giving the
performance of this show-the great
est collection of trained animals ever
assembled under one management. The
Barnes circus was the original wild
animal show and now holds the rank
Of being the largest aggregation of
the character in the world, presenting
as it does, more trained animals than
all other shows combined.
Sixty-five sensational, amusing and
amazing acts are presented at each
two divisions, the wild animal acts in
a large steel-barred arena in the cen
ter of the big tent and those Of the
domestic animals in the regulation
sawdust rings at either side of the
arena. There's something doing in
these two rings and the arena every
minute of the three solid hours of en-
tertainment.
The members of the Barnes animal
acting troupe have been recruited from
jungles, plain, desert, forest, ocean and
homestead. Lions, tigers, elephants,
leopards, jaguars, zebras, hyenas,
camels, zubus, monkeys, apes, ourang-
outangs, dogs, horses, ponies, goats,
seals and sea lions are members of
the troupe, every one trained to per-
form, in fact every animal carried
with this big show is an actor.
One of the greatest features of the
show is the troupe of beautiful horses
and ponies, $50 in number, which for
size, beauty and breeding are unriv-

gram of yesterday directing that nc
repetition be permitted Of the incident
at the Plattsburg camp precipitated by
former President Roosevelt's speech, ir
training there.
Your telegram received and policy
laid down will be rigidly adhered to,
General Wood telegraphed.
Il have just read Mr.. Roosevelt's
statement said Secretary Garrison
Il see he blames the whole thing or
me. He takes the position that it is no.
torious that he has the habit of making
indiscreet speeches and that it there
fore was my duty to find out if he
intended to go to PlattsbuTg and if sc
to head him off and save him from
himself Well. maybe that's SO, but il
is a rather large order. He is a very
active man and I am very busy one
and it's going to be pretty hard job
for me TO keep my eye on him all the
time.

reminds me of the story of the Maine
farmer. who was on his way to the
railroad station one morning when he
