regiment on Oahu for three years,
serving at both Schofield Barracks
and Fort Shafter. Previous to his as

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT
OVER BOOK SENT TO THE
SOLDIERS LIBRARY HERE

When it was found that among
books contributed to the soldiers Ii
brary at Honolulu there was copy
of Boccaccio's "Decameron" sent in
the name of the Chattanooga w. c.
T. L. some fuss was made by the press
of the Tennessee city over the connec-
ton of the Homen'S organization with
the tales of Boccaccio and there were
expressions of mild horror that the
ladies could identify themselves with
such literature, classic though it might
be. ThereupOn Mrs. A. E. Woodworth
president of the local w. C. T. T.,
came boldly out and took the entire
responsibility upon her own shoulders.
She said that in a, hasty collection OF
books for the library she had included
the Decameron, being ignorant of the
character of it's contents and being
guided only by laudatory sketch of
Boccaccio's life and work issued for
the benefit of students. Mrs. Wood
worth admitted in a public statement
that she had read the volume when
a young woman, hut the unfavorable
features limited at, failed to impress
me, and really had forgotten Just the
nature Of the book" There is moth.
ing in her statement to indicate that
she would withdraw the volume from
the soldiers library. Manifestly If the
book did not hurt her morals it would
not do much damage to those OF the
average soldier, especially when it
made so little impression upon her
mind when a young woman that the
nature of the writings was forgotten.
The publicity given to the matter prob
ably attracted more attention to the
book and induced more persons to read
it in Chattanooga than would peruse
it in years in the soldiers library,
where there is no strong yearning for
the classic. Thus if the purposes of
morality are not to be served by the
reading of the volume, the agitation
in Chattanooga has directed to the
book the minds of thousands who
might otherwise never have heard of
the Italian novelist. Such are fire.
quently the boomerang effects of mis-
guided reform. Meanwhile Uncle Sans
boys in olive drab will go on doing
their duty, irrespective of what in
tellectual stores they can draw upon

WE RE WILLING TO WAIT
UNTIL WE CAN COMMAND

The editor of this paper declines to
join in any petition to our political
enemies, "the tools of big business"
to please do something for the work
ers which the masters do not want
them to do.
The tools of big business" of
little business, too, for that matter
are in congress because '"the masses"
sent them there. Now let the masses
do their own begging, beseeching, Pc
titioning.
We Socialists vote only for those
whom we may command. Not being
able to command the tools of big
business" we certainly have no right
to demand anything of them; while to
petition and beseech our enemies
should be beneath our dignity as re-
bells. Let "the masses" who vote for
the tools of big business" do the
begging.
"The masses" voted for nothing in
1912. and again in 1914; they can now
get what they voted for without our
help.
Not good politics?
Very well then. 1t is better that
we be good rebels than that we be
good politicians. Let us be sincere,

in its past achievements and hopeful
of greater things for the future of art,
literature, science and feats of arms
and craftsmanship. That nation was
England, and the baby eventually de-
veloped into Charles Darwin, with all
that name implies to the human race
today. Who can estimate it's mean,
ing?
1t spells mental liberty.
On that same eventful morning, in
little log cabin in Kentucky, furnish
ed only with the bare necessities of
life and surrounded by the primeval
forest, another baby, destined by the
fates to play leading part on the
worlds stage, was fondled and sucked
by virile pioneer mother. That baby
finally developed into Abraham Lin
coin, the one great statesman that
capitalism has so far produced.
Lincoln was not a Socialist He
was human being and could not fore
see the battle for industrial freedom,
and this is said in spite of few iso-
lated quotations that are often used
to prove the contrary.
But Lincoln did stand for just those
basic human rights that are being at
tackled by the ruling class of today
He had the utmost contempt for a
court that could give a bred Scott
decision. He would have had an in
finitely greater contempt for a judi
cial system that should abolish the
right of trial by jury in the interest
of an exploiting class.
Lincoln certainly stood for free
speech, for free press and for all
those rights that are being threatened
by a frightened plutocracy.

NOT AN INDIVIDUAL
PROBLEM

NEW YORK.-In discussing unem-
ployment. DR.. Andrews, secretary of
the American Association of Unem-
ployment, says:
1.-THE time is past when the prob
lem of unemployment could be dis
posed of either by ignoring 1t, as was
the practice until recent years IMAM
erica or by attributing ii to mere
laziness and inefficiency. We are be-
ginning to realize that the causes OF
unemployment are not so much indi-
vidual, and due to the shiftlessness of
won't works, as social inherent in
our present method of industrial or
ganization."

ment" is bit belated.
Is not "every congressman" already
on record ION the question of unem
ployment?"
Have we not had two long years of
democratic rule in this country with
results absolutely barren so far as
fundamental working-class problems
are concerned?
And would it not be most remark
able if the tools of Business, either
Big or Little, should "go on record
in favor of legislation which would
weaken the strangle-hold of Capital on
Labor?
Every congressman is good and
plenty on record already on a the I'M
employed problem. And the trainers
of the memorial know this. They as
sert it in the following lucid English; :
"The master class has seized this
hour to more securely fasten the
chains of wage slavery upon the limbs
of toll Millions of workers are job
less, seeking work, and the masters
are using them to beat down the wage
scale and make worse the conditions
of those who still have jobs
Unemployment is a big problem.
The president and congress claim the
jobless problem is too big for them.
So they do nothing. Which is pre-
cisely what the masters want them
to do"
Well then?

WHAT WILL YOU
DO ABOUT IT?

After setting forth the woes and
wrongs of the workers, showing how
they are shot down like dogs on the
least pretext, and how millions of
would-be wage slaves are denied even
the opportunity to turn out wealth for
the bosses, at any price, the national
office of our party turns loose a long
Memorial to the President and Con-

ed to publish and have their readers
sign and send to the above mentioned
aggregation of time-serving politicians.
To quote a paragraph;
president Wilson and congress can
do something to meet this (unemploy-
ed) problem. They would do it if they
were the servants of the masses and
not the tools of big business"
Well, If our revolutionary represen-

thusly:
''In our conviction no greater prob

Now, if our honorable representa-

need to be told that rich intellec-
tual and moral treat is in store
for those who attend his lecture
at the Peoples theatre, Sunday
afternoon, February 81.
/ His subject, "War Against
War" is one which gives the lee
turer scope on the most vital topic
of the anti-militarism-a
subject on which he has become
famous and won worldwide recog-
milton as one Of the best authori-
ties and most eloquent speakers in
this country.
Recent events both in Europe
and in the United States are bring
ing the menace Of militarism very
close to the home and the hearts
of the people To working people
it is especially vital, but there is
no class over whom the baneful
blight Of this social menace does
not cast it's shadow.
On the subject Of war and mill
tarism, in their sociological and
moral aspects, there is no one bet
ter equipped to speak than Geo.
R. kirkpatrick. He brings to the
subject a well-trained mind, ex-
haustive knowledge Of the facts,
wide platform experience, pro-
found moral conviction and an i'm
passioned eloquence.
Educated in Albion college,
Vanderbilt university and the Uni
versity of Chicago, he has drunk
deep at the sources Of information
and learning. He has filled the
chairs of history and sociology in
the universities Of Kansas and
Wisconsin. For the last five
years he has been lecturer for
the New York City board Of edu-
cation. AS author of the great
anti-militaristic work, "War-
What For?" he has attained
worldwide fame and influence.
Seldom have the people of Ev-
erett had the opportunity of list
ening to a speaker of such ability
and eloquence as George R. Kirk
