KATHERINE H. HODCINS
(For Commissioner of Financed
A SELF MADE WOMAN

The gift for composing music,
writing poetry, or for invention,
IS born with one, is part of one s
natural inheritance. No one de-
MES this. But organizing ability,
executive ability, are no less gifts
that are born with some persons.
Business ability is also often an
inherited faculty. In many cases
the struggle for existence in this
our competitive world develops
these very useful capacities to a
high degree of efficiency. Organ
izing ability, executive ability and
business ability are often found
united in one person. No better
Example of this rare union of use
Iful qualities in one person can be
found than is exemplified in the
life-work of Katherine II. Hold
gins, Socialist candidate for com
missioner of finance. We have
heard much of self-made men.
Hats off now to the self-made
woman. No man ever struggled
against greater odds for an edu-
cation and economic independence
than did the subject of this sketch.
And she won, nobly, splendidly-
not riches, but competency, and
a broad, generous culture, based
on wide acquaintance with eco
nomic and social conditions, ex-
tensive travel, and a profound
study of the various schools of po-
litical economy. Starting as a
public school teacher in her eigh.
teenth year, our candidate fought.
single-handed, every inch of her
upward progress, as student,
teacher and business woman, max.
ing brilliant success of whatever
she undertook. Now her life is
devoted to the task of educating
the working class into conscious
ness of their own essential dignity
and Importance, that they may I'LL
timately unite industrially and po-
litically for the capture and con-
troll of the municipal, state, and
federal governments to the end
that an Industrial Democracy be
established in the place of the
present system of Industrial des-
Ipotism and individualistic an
archy in production and distribu-
ton.
Every woman in Everett, and
every man in Everett, should be
glad OF the opportunity to cast a
ballot in favor of Katherine HI.
Hodgins for commissioner of fl
nance, in the forthcoming election.

al PROTEST"
(1y Ella Wheeler Wilcox)

(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
TO sit in silence when we should
protest
Makes towards out of men. The
human race
Has climbed on protest. Had no
voice been raised
Against injustice, ignorance and
lust,
The inquisition yet would serve
the law,
And guillotines decide our least
disputes.
The few who dare must speak and
speak again
To right the wrongs of many.
Speech, thank God,
No vested power in this great day
and land
Can gag or throttle. Press and
voice may cry
Loud disapproval of existing ills
May criticise oppression and con-
denim
The lawlessness of wealth-protect-
ing laws
That let the children and child
earners toll
TO purchase ease for idle million
aires.
Therefore l do protest against the
boast
OF independence in this mighty
land.
Call no chain strong which holds
one rusted link.
Call no land free that holds one
fettered slave.
Until the rnanacled slim wrists of
babes
Are loosed to toss in childish sport
and glee;
Until the mother bears no burden,
save
The precious one beneath her
heart, until
Gods soil is rescued from the
clutch of greed,
And given back to labor, let no
man
Call this the land Of freedom.

Socialism implies that the individ
uals who make up society should, in
their collective capacity, possess all
the instruments of production, and
thus prevent the evils arising from
the present industrial system. 1t re-
quires that the process of production
and distribution should be regulated
not by competition, with self-interest
for the moving principle, but by So
ciety as a whole for the good of So
ciety-Palgrave's Dictionary of Polit-
ical Economy.

WHAT CAN SALTER,
HODGINS AND CARR
DO ABOUT IT?

The intelligent reader who has read
the preceding analysis OF whats the
matter" with the United States (and
the entire capitalist world, for that
matter), will naturally ask, If he be
not already Socialist-"But, granted
that what you have stated ls true,
how will It help matters by putting
three Socialists into office in this mu-
nicipaI election?"
A SENSIBLE QUESTION
There is nothing foolish in the ques
ton as above presented. The con
nection between a nationwide indus
trial crisis, war, crime, prostitution
and widespread poverty, and the cleo,
ton to office of three Socialist com
missioners in Everett is by no means
self-evident to those voters who have
not made special study Of political
economy. But the connection is as
real as that between the brain Of a
man and the end of his finger crushed
by hammer.
We all know that the wise physician
begins his curative work in whatever
part of-the body he can operate to
advantage, and we all realize that the
first step toward health is to put a
diseased body in charge of medical
experts as quickly as possible. And
just so the fight of Socialists, the
world over, is to get the diseased body
polite into the hands of economic
specialists, into the control of Social
list political economists, who are the
only competent diagnosticians of oul
day. They alone know the remedy
for our social ills, and are willing tc
apply the remedy.
The Northwest worker. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1915-1917, 1915-10-07
MUST FIGHT LOCALLY

Each community of this nation must
be placed in charge of its own local
experts, who will work in harmony
with the curative principles which ap-
ply to the welfare of the body polite
as whole. Only Socialists know what
these remedial principles are; they
alone have a practical plan for the
solution of the nations economic ills.
None but the Socialists dare 90 on
the platform in debate and defend
their position. Why, then, should the
voters Of Everett waste their ballots
on political quacks, or on palpably
ignorant blunderers?

Wages:
$518 A Year

From these eloquent figures the
bourgeois spellblnders can derive no
"thunder''~~ for the 1915 campaign.
They prove concIusively that the wage
workers are being robbed year by
year Of greater and greater portion
OF the wealth they produce, leaving
them poorer relatively to their pro-
ductive powers, than at any other time
In the history Of the world.
All the candidates In the present
city election contest are In favor OF
continuing the system which produces
the above-named results, excepting

DON'T TOLERATE EVIL

Tolerance corrodes the noblest
hearts; it eats away their pride, de-
stroys the active principle of great
exploits and makes of mental cow
ardice a sacred thing. By exacting
this pliability of conscience from ev-
erybody, certain people seek to obtain
absolution from their own treachery
and backsliding.-

tins swallow this bunk whole, gulp-
ing it down in large, choking morsels.
AS a matter of fact, their "betters"
know that the workers, as class, are
poor because of what they don't get,
not because of what they spend, fool
ishly or otherwise.
Wisdom is the principal thing;
therefore get "wised up" The work
ers are poor because they receive no
benefit from the continually increas-
ing productivity of modern machinery.
They received, as wages, the cost of
their keep" in 1850, viz, $247 year.
In 1880 the average wage was $346.
In 1910 they were still accepting the
same pay" enough wages to keep
them in working condition, many of
them being required to put in twelve
their keep" the amount of wages
paid depending upon the average cost
of hay, oats, and harness. so to speak
SOME TELL-TALE STATISTICS
In 1850 the average wage was $24T,
and the value of the product per work
er was 1912. The difference between
the wages paid and the value of the
product was therefore $685.. In 1910
Cor 1909 the average wage was $518,
and the value of the product at the
factory door was $3,124 per worker, a
difference of $2,606 between the wages
received and the value of the product
GET COST OF KEEP" ONLY
The fact is the wage-worker gets
merely the price of his labor power,
the cost of his keep like any other
work animal, and under progressive
or conservative rule, Republican, Dem
ocrats, or Bull Moosers, he will de-
rive no substantial benefit from the
unparalleled prosperity" of "the peo-
pie" The wage-worker can look, I'M
der capitalist, only for progressive"
decrease in his share of the product
Of his own toll. The apparent increase
in wages merely reflects the increase
in the cost of the waee-save's prov
ender. This is the bitter lesson of the
thirteenth census report on manufac-
lures. The table below, based upon
figures derivable from the govern
ment census, shows that the workers
are no better off under Republican
rule than under a democratic admin
istration, the disparity between the
average amount of wealth produced
per wage-worker and the amount of
wages received growing steadily great
er with each decade, creating a great
er percentage of unemployed, and
making it more and more impossible
for the workers to purchase with their
total wages greater percentage of
their total products. Labor's real sal
walton lies in the solution of the prob
lem presented by the figures present

STEP AT A TIME

The practical program of Socialism
cannot be carried out piece-meal; but
the attainment of political power by
the workers for the workers can be
and will be accomplished first here
and then there, city, county or state
at time, piece-meal, to the end that
eventually all the links of the great
chain will be welded into an inter
communicating mesh, city to city,
county to county, state to state, and,
finally, nation to nation!

THE REAL CONTEST

Thus the contest in Everett really
has no significance, no Importance, to
the majority of our citizens excepting
from the following considerations:
The efforts of the Socialists of Ev-
erett to place their three nominees in
the city hall is part and parcel of
their plan to capture for the working
class OF the United States all politi-
cal powers, to the end that legislation
and the administration of laws in this
country, shall be placed in the hands
of the workers themselves, through
representatives of their own class, i'm
bued with working-class ideals, in
spired and informed by a working.
class philosophy and political econ
omy; as representatives of a party
which has for its ultimate aim the
complete conquest by the workers of
all political and economic powers, to
the end that wage-slavery and eco
nomic servitude be forever abolished
from the face of the earth, and gen.
uine industrial democracy established,
by the workers and for the workers.

The League 10 Enforce Peace, or
ganized June II, in Independence Hall,
Philadelphia, by former President Taft
and others, announced yesterday that
branches are to be formed in all Euro
pean countries, both neutral and at
war A committee on foreign organi-
zation has been formed, with Theodore
Marburg, former Ambassador to Bel
GUM, as chairman.
Negotiations already have been be-
gun with a group of men in Great
Britain, headed by Lord Bryce. An
effort also will be made to interest
influential men in Germany in the
movement. It is planned to invite as
members Of these foreign committees
political leaders, statesmen and men of
affairs. rather than those professionally
related to the pacifist movement.
The present war, the statment of the
league says, is not within the scope of
its work, its concern being only with
the future, looking to the time after
the war is over when the United States
and other great powers will enter into
an alliance to lessen the probability OF
war. The executive committee has
been enlarged by the addition of Myron

COTTON QUESTION is

Doubling of Income Tax and

London. July 3l.-The activity in
,be war loan has given more life
70 exchange, but the Bank Of Eng
lard now commands the money
market, and the high money rates
must restrain speculation.
Mr.. Hobson, the well known econ
omist, estimates that about one
third Of the s20O,OOO,OO0 of the
whole loan has been paid up. This
huge transaction naturally dis
turbed the balance sheets, whose
publication will be held over until
rext month.
The gold reserve is now being
strengthened by subscription notes
in circulation.
The increase Of army and NUM-
ton workers portends a further rise
in prices. but coal production has
been rapidly increased since the min
ers' conference.
The exchange situation continues
serious.
Foreign Office replies indicate that
the cotton question is being eau
tlously handled. 1t is significant
that The Tribune's editorial on cot
ton was quoted in "The Morning
Post"
Events in Poland explain the de
probation of Russian exchange. For
this there is at present no easy So

At the Spies petroleum meeting
Amman Bryce, a brother of Lord
Bryce, estimated the loss in bringing
