BEATING UP SOCIALIST
NO OTTENSE
SAYS COUNTY ATTORNEY
Victim Has No Rights Which
Court Is Bound to Respect,
Says Webb
Republican Thug Is Sacrosanct
When Victim 10 a Socialist

Republican and democratic thugs
throughout Snohomish county are vir-
tually sacrosanct in the eyes of the
law so long as they confine their bru-
tality to Socialist school directors
The latter have no rights to redress
which the county courts are bound to
respect
The above announcement is made in
view of the refusal of the county
prosecuting attorney, o. T. Webb, or
his assistant, to issue warrant for
the arrest Of Guy E. Lohnes, clerk of
the school board at Maltby, who bru-
tally assaulted a fellow school director
last Saturday
After being choked and beaten al
most within an inch of his life, COM
rade N. ]. Johnson, member of the
Maltby school board, came to Everett
seeking warrant for his brutal as
sailant's arrest. Calling at the coun-
ty prosecuting attorneys office he
found this official was out. He told
the story of his being beaten up by
G. E. Lohnes, clerk of the board, to
the first assistant prosecuting attor-
ney-whoever he is. This worthy at
once inquired to know what kind Of
a meeting it was that comrade John
son wanted to allow held in the school
house, and to which the lawless re-
publican Lohnes objected. What
kind of a meeting? Are you So
cialist?" This was the first question
fired at farmer Johnson. Yes, he
pleaded guilty to being Socialist.
That settled it in the county attor-
ney's office. We've had too much
trouble with Socialist school directors
in this county," was the learned as
sistant's off-hand decision. Anyhow,
as a matter of form, he would refer
the matter to his superior officer, Mr..
o. t. Webb, and drop him a line in
day or two.
After four days land no letter."
comrade Johnson again visited Everett
in quest of republican Justice" The
capitalist politician who holds the of
flee of county prosecutor informed
comrade Johnson that he had looked
into his case and there would be
nothing done. AS a Socialist school
director he had only got what was
coming to him. So the republican
plug-ugly will not be served with
warrant. An old-party office holder
can do wrong when violating the
rights of a Socialist Justice" is
not only dispensed, but dispensed with,
sometimes, at the county prosecutors
office. No doubt Mr. o. T. Webb is
strong on "the flag, and the lofty
principles" ETC., on the rostrum. But
what will our adopted citizen, Mr..
N ]. Johnson, for fourteen years own
er of his own home in Maltby, think
of Justice" under the Stars and
Stripes, after being told that G. o.
p patriot" can, with impunity, beat,
kick and choke him? That "the
flag" will guarantee him no redress?

Without our own shop it would
be practically impossible to get
out bi-weekly which we planned
on doing and it would be more
than impossible to get out daily.
We have pages upon pages of
good interesting news items come
to hand every week but we have
no room to publish them so you
do not get the benefit because we
are handicapped with small
weekly paper.
We want to advertise Socialism
by big colored posters all over
the state, but we cannot because
the cost is too great when printed
in a capitalist shop.
We want to get away from these
institutions because we can do bet
ter. At present we get Sc inches
less of reading matter in this pa
per than we did on the one pub
lished by the people whose shop
we want to purchase and this pa
per costs us more. If we buy the
shop, it means that the paper will
be bigger than the one you are
now getting. We have to pay in
advance for this paper before they
will set up a line of type. That
means that we have to pay for this
paper almost a week before we
get it, almost an unheard of thing
in the business world.
This state of affairs cannot be
kept up long, and sooner or later
there will have to be another
move taken which will probably
mean more expense.
We are not going to beg of you
to buy this pant, but we want to
make plain to our readers what
the facts in the case are. This is
our final announcement. If $3.50
more has not been received in this
office by July the first, we shall
let the matter drop. The fate of
the Washington Socialist is now
in YOUR hands. What are YOU
going to do about it?

whether or not they want us to
purchase the printery. On that
day, if there is not in our posses
sion an additional $3.50, we will
return what has already been sent
in and drop the subject. If the
plant is sold to someone else be-
fore that date, we will return the
money now on hand.
The only way, to our notion,
that is left to raise the funds, is
to get five Socialists to donate

ly to be in our hands in time to
purchase the plant. Can't you
fellows hurry up?
We would not urge you to buy
this plant if we did not realize
its value to you. In the analysis
Of present day society we know
that conditions tend to get worse.
The upkeep of a Socialist paper
published at capitalist shop will
require greater efforts from So
cialists later on than are necessary
now. But with our own tools of
production it may be possible to
get out the paper without great
deal of effort, ON THE PROFITS
OF JOB PRINTING.
Business failures are on the in
crease, and it will be ever harder
to get advertisers to help pay for
the paper. When it becomes i'm
possible to get enough advertising
to pay for the printing of the pa
per there will be no way to lower
the cost of production unless we
have our own shop. All that is
needed then is labor, paper, ink.
rent and power. Labor is the most
expensive item and if we cannot
pay for that labor we can all get
in and do little ourselves and
thus get the paper out for the
cost of the paper, ink, rent and
power, thus eliminating the great
est item.

LoHNEs' THIRD oFFENSE

Incidentally, we learned that this
same Guy e. Lohnes has twice before
assaulted peaceably inclined citizens
One of his victims, a mere boy, was
pushed by Lohnes from fallen tree
which he was crossing, carrying an
ak and cross-cut saw. He fell a dis
lance of some Is feet and was severely
injured. Not long afterwards he died
of consumption, his end being hasten
ed, no doubt, by Lohnes cowardly at
tack
If men can be brutally assaulted by
cowardly DULLES in Snohomish county
without redress by law, why should
the taxpayers waste their money on d
county prosecutors salary? OF course
O. T. Webb is not a permanent fix

coming on. This incident only adds
one more evidence to the long chair

sity for the election of Socialist Off

The Workers Press
BY ROBERT HUNTER

Besides their unions and parties
the workers must have newspa.
pers. Without newspapers their
battle is lost A newspaper is
the first, the most fundamental
and the most powerful Of all their
instruments.
Without newspapers they can
not know the truth, and, because
Of ignorance they can be led to
slaughter as sheep are led.
Many of us today see the i'm
portance of powerful unions and
of really democratic party, own
ed, controlled, and financed by
the workers.
Many of us today see the i'm
portance of the initiative and re-
ferendum, so that government
may be more responsive to the
popular will.
All of use see the necessity Of
free schools, of cheap books and
of public libraries.
But how few of us see the neces-
sity of peoples press own
ed, controlled, and financed by
Labor.
Yet, without this thing our bat
tie is lost. What can a people do
without knowledgeY How can
the blind fightY
A NATION THAT TAKES
THE NEWS FROM THE COUNT.
ING HOUSE, FROM THE VERY
ENEMIES OF LIBERTY AND
JUSTICE AND DEMOCRACY,
WILL NOT LONG KEEP IN IT'S
HANDS THE INSTITUTIONS
OF LIBERTY, JUSTICE, AND
DEMOCRACY.
1t is more dangerous to have
our sources Of knowledge cor
rupted than to have our ballot
corrupted. 1t is more contempt
BILE to starve for lack of truth than
to starve for lack of bread.
Where is there a greater menace
to all that mankind holds dear
than that our minds should be
filled with lies so that we know
not what to do?
Many things may be polluted
without bringing us to ruin, but
the sources Of information, of
knowledge, cannot be permanent
ly polluted without bringing us
to ruin.
We must have newspaper
newspapers unlike other newspa-
pers. We must have newspapers
that know news and that will
not defraud us by filling their
columns with murder stories, po-
lice court scandals society's lewd-
ness and the thousands and one
other things which now fill the
columns of our modern police
gazettes.
We must have newspapers that
are not financed by the trusts, the
moneyed men, the public service
corporations and other great
thieves whose hands are in our
pockets.

DRUGGIsT PLEASED
WITH IANuc SALE
More Than $4,000 Worth
Bought In Louisville In
90 Days.

Louisville. KY. June LIE. @.
rsaacs. President of the Taylor
Tsaacs Drug Co., of this city. says:
The demand for Tanlac has
agreeably surprised us. While we
knew Mr.. Cooper and we're aware
Of the success his preparation had
achieved In other cities of the coun-
try. yet We entertained no idea thar
the medicine would become so pop
ular in such short space of time
in Louisville.
Judging from the repeat sales,
and the expressions of satisfaction
from those who have tested Tanlac
and who state that they have been
benefited by the preparation, Tan
lac must therefore be something q
unusual merit.
"The class of people who are buy
ing Tanlac are among the best in
the city-people who are able to
Judge impartially and who carry
weight with their statements.
within the last 80 days we have
sold over $4,000 worth of Tanlac.
When it is considered that the de-
mand is confined to one preparation
the sale is to be considered unpre-
cedented. In fact, it is the biggest
thing of the kind ever seen at our
stores"
