The Socialist
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Who is a Socialist? 1t is man
Who strives to formulate or aid n
plan
10 better earth's conditions. 1t is he
Who, having ears to hear and eyes to
see.
is neither deaf nor blind when might,
rough.shod,
Treads down the privileges and rights
which God
Means for all men: The privilege to
toll,
To breathe pure air, to till the fertile
The right to live, to love, to WOO, to
we'd
And earn for hungry mouths their
need of bread.
The Socialist is he who claims no
more
Than his own share from generous
Natures store;
But that he asks, and asks, too, that
no other
Shall claim the share of any weaker
brother
And brand him beggar in his own
domain,
To glut a mad, inordinate lust for
gain.
The Socialist is one who holds the
best
OF all Gods gifts is toll, the second,
rest.
He asks that all men learn the sweets
of labor
And no idler fatten off his neighbor;
That all men be allowed their share
of leisure,
Nor thousands slave that one may
seek his pleasure.
Who one the Golden Rule shall dare
insist,
Behold him. the modern Socialist.

KATHERINE H. HODCINS
For COMMISSIONS of Finance

Katherine Fl. Hodgins, candi-
date for commissioner of finance,
received the unanimous endorse
ment Of the Socialists of Everett
lat their recent convention. She
has been an active worker in the
party for several years, and has
exhibited remarkable executive
ability as an administrator and fl
nancier in various official capac-
tiles Though born in Iowa, her
girlhood was spent in Minnesota,
where at the age Of eighteen she
adopted the profession Of school
teacher, in which field she was
eminently successful. Possessing
an aptitude for business, her va
cations and spare hours were de-
voted to the buying and selling of
live stock, farms, ETC., so that
teaching was abandoned for farm
ing and trading. Yielding to the
lure of the golden West, our can
didate went to California, engag-
ing in the real estate business,
which gave her an opportunity for
further study. Later years were
given to travel and extensive
study along the lines Of sociology
and political economy. Then came
a visit to beautiful Puget Sound,
which she has since made her
home, teaching several years in
Snohomish schools, and later
building a home in Everett. All
her leisure hours are now devoted
to the cause Of Socialism and the
advancement of labor in general.
If elected commissioner of fl
nance, Com. Hodgins will bring
to the office mind schooled in
the ways of business, a character
disciplined by education, and an
executive ability which is rarely
met with in public offices.

G. w. CARR
(For Commissioner Public Health
and Safety.)

(For Commissioner Public Health
and Safety
G. w. Carr, Socialist nominee
for the office of Commissioner of
Public Safety, was born in New
Brunswick in 1862. He moved to
Bucoda, Wash, in 1889, where he
married. In 1897 he moved to Ev-
erett and took a business course
in college in this city, but has
not followed clerical work. His
trade is that of a millwright. He
lis a member of the Christian
church and has had membership
in the Socialist Party for five
years.
In November, 1911, he was elect
led on the Socialist ticket to the
/ city council from the fourth ward.
In April, 1912, the city electors
voted for the commission form of
government thus, unseating w. G..
Carr and the other two Socialist
Icouncilmen. The work done in the
council chamber by G. w. Carr
and his colleagues must have met
with the approval of the citizens,
for when the election for commits
sioners came around the Socialist
votes increased by over 400.
Carr s record as councilman is
without blemish. No one ques-
tions his honesty, while he has won
many friends and supporters by
his mental poise and his steadfast
devotion to high ideals. A de-
Fpendable man is G.. w. Carr, one
in whose hands the forward-look-
ing people Of Everett may well
place the health and safety Of the
community.

REFORMS SUGGESTED

Discussing unemployment and de-
NAL of opportunity to earn living as
| the second principal cause of indus
trial unrest, the report makes the fol
| lowing recommendations:
Certain measures for dealing with
these conditions which are discussed
! elsewhere in the report need to be
pushed forward with all possible Wig
or, but it may be confidently predict
ed that the unemployment situation
will not be appreciably relieved until
great advances have been made in the
removal of the two prime causes--un-
! Just distribution of wealth and monop-
olization of land and natural resources.
"The most direct methods of deal
have already been briefly discussed
and will be considered elsewhere in
the report. With respect to the land
question, however, the following basic
suggestions are submitted
81 Vigorous and unrelenting pros
ecution to regain all land, water pow
err and mineral rights secured from
the government by fraud.
"2. A general revision of our land
laws, so as to apply to all future land
grants the doctrine of superior use,
as in the case of water rights in Cali
| fornia, and provision for forfeiture in
case of actual non-use. In it's sim
plest form the doctrine of superior
use implies merely that at the time
of making the lease the purpose for
which the land will be used must be
taken into consideration, and the use
which is of greatest social value shall
be given preference.
"3. The forcing of all unused land
into use by making the tax on non
productive the same as on productive
land of the same kind, and exempting
all improvements.
"The unemployed have aptly been
called the shifting sands beneath the
State. Surely there is no condition
which more Immediately demands the
attention of congress than that of I'M
employment, which is annually driv-
ing hundreds of thousands of other
wise productive citizens into poverty
and bitter despair, sapping the very
basis of our national efficiency, and
terminating the seeds of revolution"
DENIAL. OF JUSTICE
Under the head Denial of Justice"
| found to be the third principal cause
of unrest, the report cites numerous
| typical instances to prove the follow
ing charges:
First, with regard to the enactment
The Northwest worker. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1915-1917, 1915-09-30
POLICE BRUTALITY

Ninth, that during strikes, innocent
men are in many cases arrested with.
out just cause, charged with fictitious
crimes, held under excessive bail, and
treated frequently with unexampled
b utalty for the purpose of injuring
the strikers and breaking the strike.
Tenth, that in many localities dur.
ing strikes not only is one of the great
est functions of the state, that of po-
Icing, turned virtually over to employ
ers or arrogantIy assumed by them,
but criminals employed by detective
agencies and strike breaking agencies
are clothed by the process of deputiza-
ton, with arbitrary power and reIiev.
ed of criminal liability for their acts.
y Eleventh, that during strikes in
many localities the entire system of
civil government is suspended and
there is set up in it's place a military
despotism under socalled martial
law.
Twelfth, that in some localities the
control by the employers of the entire
machinery of government is so great
that lawless acts on the part of agents
of the employers go unheedcd and I'M
punished, while vindictive action
against the leaders of the strike is &C
complished by methods unparalleled
in civilized countries

concerned. Evidence gathered in the
commissions investigation of the Col
orado strike is cited in substantiation
of the twelfth charge.
