ADDRESS OF UNUSUAL
VALUE AND INTEREST

Last Sunday evening a good crowd
gathered at the Forum, 1912 Califor-

Washingtons foremost speakers, de-
liver an address on "Workingclass
Preparedness" His talk proved to
be one of the most interesting and
stimulating heard in Everett for a
long while. Limitations of space in
this campaign issue preclude giving
even the gist of Comrade Rogers very
thoughtful and well-delivered address,
but we hope later to be able to pub
lish in the form Of short articles some
of the points Comrade Rogers so
ably presented.

Practical Achievements of
A Socialist Commissioner
Article l..

Federal, which was washed out last
winter, have both been treated to Gin
ders.
Gravel has been placed on the fol-
lowing streets:
From Wall to S3rd on McDougal,
and from McDougal to Broadway on
3Srd street; on 37th from Colby to
Rockefeller; Everett avenue from
Broadway to Lombard and from
Broadway to McDougal on cath street,
Eight blocks were oiled, the oil be-
ing bought by property owners and
the work done by the street force.
Much new drainage has been provided
and numerous manholes left by con-
tractors from 6 to IA inches below
grade in unpaved streets have been
built up to grade. Team owners and
drivers agree that the streets are In
better shape than they have been for
years, though the traffic has greatly
increased.
Heavy items of expense in street
departments are the repair and pur-
chase of new machinery and tools.
When Commissioner Salter took
charge of his department, all the
street machinery was kept out Of
doors. Most of it was in an advanced
stage of breakdown, hay wire, nails,
straps. Irvine and gunny sacks hold
ing the parts together. A shed large
enough to house all the street ma
chinery has been built. A blacksmith
shop has been installed where all the
city blacksmith work is now done.
Every piece of machinery and every
wagon has been repaired and painted.
Hundreds of dollars have been saved
by this method of treating the street
outfit. The department has graded
several blocks and donated work to
Forrest Park and to the Central, JEFF
ferson and Monroe schools tennis
courts.

GOOD MEN - AND WHAT

In every so-called non-partisan cleo
ton there are two kinds of candidates

in the matter of what they stand for
Let us see.
The capitalists, and those whom
they have victimized by their sophis

for PROFIT.
The Socialists maintain that pro-
duction should be FOR USE ONLY
In order to produce for profit in a
competitive market, labor must be Sc.

Which brings me to the gist of my
subject-Child Slavery.
Had space, I would paint for you
a word picture of the sufferings of
millions of babies who toll all the
year round in tenements, sweat-shops,
cotton and textile mills, and in the
mines and factories of this "our coun-
try; picture that would haunt you
when you stand in the voting booth
on the second of November with your
pencil ready to vote for good men,"
A vision would rise before you show
ing thousands of what were once
bright-faced little boys going down
into the deep, dark mines every morn
ing working among dangers that
would crush the heart of the good"
people who by their sympathy or in
difference support this social crime.

work, with hard, aged, toil-worn, wist-
full faces, that should be bright with
laughter and joy; innocent babes con
demned by a merciless society to
hard labor for life.
Always, l have this charge against
you,-you who support system based
on exploitation of the helpless: YOU
VOTE FOR THE CRUSHING OUT
OF MILLIONS OF BABY LIVES. You
may be so highly respectable that you
feel impelled to vote for "good" can
didates, but at the same time you are
voting for chiId-slavery. This is all
care to know about you.
| care not how brilliant, how cul-
tured, how honest, how kind, how
well-groomed or how religious you
are To all intents and purposes you
are in sympathy with the greatest
crime ever perpetrated by the strong
upon the weak. YOU VOTE FOR A
SYSTEM THAT MAKES CHILD
SLAVERY NECESSARY.
Your support of capitalism may
come from Indifference or from ignor-
ance. 1t does not matter. The result
is the same.
