Then June received the great shock
Of her life-Blye offered her a trip on
a private yacht. He had a photo Of it
with him. She gasped in amazement
and refused II.
Then Cunningham drew out a check

she needed. June's cheeks paled. She
burst into the Office where Mrs. Willard
sat with the iron Pinknam.
Did you bring me here to be tor

WHAT SOCIALISM IS

Socialism Is word having two dis
tinct but related meanings: primar.
lily 1t is used as the name Of a GER
tain philosophy Of history and meth
cd of interpreting and Analysing So
cial phenomena. In the second place,
since this philosophy and method have
as one of their principal conclusions
that society is evolving toward CO.
operative social stage, the word is
used to designate cooperative So
cial organization, where the means
for the production and distribution OF
wealth are the collective property of
the working class, while the goods
which are tosbe consumed become the
private property of the individual
workers.-A. M. Simons, in Enclyco-
pedia Americana

CARR NOT TO BE A
STICKER CANDIDATE

G. w. Carr, the defeated Socialist
candidate for the office of public
safety, will not be sticker candidate,
as the man on the street would have
you believe.
Although he only lost by IA votes,
1t Is not the intention Of the Social
lists to contest the office. We have
been defeated and we are going to
take our medicine We are not In
the campaign primarily for getting
office. We are in the campaign for
education and that education Is for
the express purpose of teaching the
workers their true position in human
society. We had an expression of the
intelligence of the workers on Nov.
End. We cannot change that senti-
ment in few hours and we refuse
to become office seekers even though
the chance of winning is good. Our
work of education will go on until we
can get control of all the city, state
and national offices, Our work will
have then ended. The workers will
have reached their goal. Poverty and
misery will be but thing of the past.
The sun will rise on new and better
world, Speed the day!

NOTHING GAINED BY
HAMPERING BUSINESS

what we are to bear in mind, then,
is this-that in the political upheav-
ais that are before us, nothing will
be gained by adopting any policy to
curb, to restrain, or to hamper the
present system of supplying man with
the things he needs, the system we
designate as Business. But year by
year there will arise party that will
insist on the great fundamental prin-
ciple that the present system has full
filled it's mission on earth, and is now
become over-ripe and rotten. 1t will
insist that the supply Of mans neces-
saries is far too important in his life
to be owned and controlled for the
profit of few individuals. 1t will in
sist that there is now beginning on
the earth another great epoch in the
story Of man, and that this fact must
be understood and recognized. 1t will
insist that as Serfdom ran it's course
and gave way to Feudalism, and Feud-
alism ran it's course and gave way to
Capitalism, so Capitalism has now
run it's course and must now give way
to a system under which the COM
munal interests shall supplant the in
terests of personal greed and aggran.
dizement. That system we call So
cialism. Charles Edward Russell

COME, LET US

Solomon is reputed to have de-

termine just what to do next-the aim
and purpose of the best education.

and teaches the means to a higher

Your Turn Now
Dear Reader!

Dear Reader!
For some weeks now you have been
reading The Northwest Worker--long
enough, one would think, for you to
be able to decide as to whether or
not this paper is published in the in
terest of the majority, the wage earn
ers. Some Of you will be able to pen.
citrate even more deeply. and will un.
derstand that, In the long run, this
paper teaches political economy, and
expresses a point of view, that win
elevate "all the people" and therefore
is serving the higher interests even OF
the capitalist class, whose rulership
Of the world of labor it so fervently
opposes, and hopes, ultimately, to see
overthrown.
In this broader sense, The North
west Worker deserves the loyal sup
port OF every man and woman in this
section of the United States, or any
where else, for that matter 1t is not
only worthy Of the moral and finan-
cial backing of every thinking person
but it must have the support OF more
readers in the City Of Everett and in
Snohomish county. 1t must obtain a
greater number Of subscribers RICH,
here, in our own home town, or else
1t may be forced to suspend publica
ton.
Wouldn't you, fair-minded, thought
full reader, give up Csc to have this
paper delivered to your address fol-
the next rs weeks-half year! for

its uninterrupted growth and success
Aren't you this much interested in

What About Your Girl?

Why not start at once making the

Why not work and vote to make

The carrying out OF the Socialist

ing the things that are socially used,
also socially owned and controlled,
insure to each worker the equivalent
of all he or she produces. 1t will give

AN IMPORTANT
REFERENDUM
WHO'S YOUR CHOICE FOR PREsI.
DENT?


The Socialist presidential and vice.
presidential candidates for the 1916
campaign are to be chosen by ref
erendum vote Of the party. Nomina-
ton blanks are now going out to the
5000 Socialist locals and branches.
The nominations must all be in by
Dec. 10th.
This Is probably the first time in
the history of any political party in
this country that the candidates for
president and vice-president have
been chosen by referendum. This Is
the Socialist party. It is expected that
this move will arouse considerable in
terest in the Socialist campaign.
Plans will, no doubt, be made by ev-
cry Socialist local to hold a special
meeting to consider the available can
didates and to make nominations.
Nominations are also to be made
for national executive secretary and
five members of the national execu-
tive committee. Previous to the 1912
national convention, these offices
were filled by referendum vote. At
the 1912 convention the constitution
was changed 80 that this power was
lodged with the national committee.
At the meeting Of the national COM
mittee last May, however, the selec-
ton Of these party officials was re-
turned to the rank and file.

on the contrary, according to the re-

Mothers of girls, why will you be
satisfied with SMALL THINGS for
them? Do you not think they have
the right to everything that makes
life full and beautiful and generous?
Why do you not agitate and work and
vote that they may have big and
splendid things? That they may have
much of life, instead of meagerness!
That they may be assured Of econom

BY economic security l mean that
they shall have free access to the
means Of life, and that they shall re
ceive the full equivalent of the pro
duct of their labor.
That is the only real independence

Your girl will then not be Obliged
, to sell herself in the labor market
or in the sex market. Nor yet in the
marriage market, because man is

She will then be free to select from
world of men, according to her
wish, because she will not then be
economically dependent, as she is
now. Woman's relation to man un
der the present system, whatever 9th
er factors may enter in, Is primarily
a bread relation.
So do not think your care for your
girl ends in seeing that she is prop
erly chaperoned and that she is al
home at certain specified time in
the evening. This may be necessary
of course.

NO ANIMOSITY

Recognition of the class struggle
does not necessarily involve class ami
mostly.
The intelligent wage-slave does not
blame his boss for being membei
OF the capitalist class. What he
wishes to do is to abolish the class
system of production, SO that there
will be neither exploiters nor exploit
ed. Meanwhile, there should be nc
