A WARNING TO eleeLERs.

Once there was a very young man
by the name of Rollo, who went to
call on a girl. He was a bit nervous
about it, because calling on girls was
not Rollo's regular occupation. 1t
was merely side-line in his spare
time.
The night Rollo called, the girl had
what Is known as the "giggles." She
simply couldn't help laughing. She
said herself, often, that when she had
the giggles she laughed at everything.
1t didn't have to be funny. But Rollo
did not know this. He thought, Rollo
did, that the girl was laughing at the
things he said, and as the evening
wore away he fairly glowed with his
new-found ability. No matter what
he said, the girl laughed. Sometimes
she even laughed Historically at what
he was about to say. At first Rollo
was amazed at his success. Then he
took 1t as matter of course, his just
due, and that was what ruined his
young life.

SCRAPS OF LACE

Allover val lace makes excellent
urderwaists to wear with thin
blouses. The edges of the under
waist are joined IN a French seam
overlaid with lace tape on the right
side. A sleeve of the lace reaches
half way to the elbow and holds the
shield. At the waist there is a lace
beading wide enough to take an inch
wide ribbon.
Exquisite accessories in the line of
lingerie pillow covers, bedspreads,
workbags and table covers may be
made from old embroidered under
clothes, blouses and dresses. First,
cut pattern of the pillow cover,
bedspread or whatever is to be made.
Then cut the good parts of the EN-
broidery into pieces of whatever
shapes they will allow, and tack them
in some balanced and regular form
on the pattern.
Join the pieces together with mar
row insertion, or where scalloped
edge happens to come at the joining
whip it to the next section. Use lace
edging for the outside finish.
AS delicate doilies are rarely wash
ed or cleaned, this is an excellent use
to which to put old embroideries that

100 FARMERS DIG SIX
DAYS TO RESCUE DOG
Caught In Mountain crcvice While
Chasing Rabbit.-Men for Miles
Around Help in Rescue.


Birmingham, Ala. - One hundred
farmers, friends of H. A. Wilson, of
this city, laid aside their farm duties
six days recently to save the life of
one of Wilson's hunting dogs which
was caught In a crevasse on the noun
tain side near Birmingham while chas.
Ing rabbit.
Two friends borrowed Wilson's rab.
bit hound for hunt. The dog picked
up the trail of rabbit and the chase
led up the mountainside and Br'er
Rabbit jumped into the crevasse and
disappeared. The dog followed. The
hole in the mountain was forty feet
deep, which the hound didn't know
when 1t went in. After it had gone
two-thirds of the way it found itself
wedged in. The impatient hunters
whistled in vain. The rabbit rested
content few feet farther ON, it's exit
cut off by the dog. The hunters went
back to town and told Wilson.
That night the three came back with
shovels and set to work to rescue the
dog. An electric flashlight was attach
ed to long pole and lowere dinto the
hole and the dogs perdicament was
disclosed. Dynamite was resorted to
to.
Farmers gathered for miles around
to assist in the rescue. They labored
with picks and shovels and explosives.
The third day had brought but little
progress and the fourth and fifth days
quadrurled the crowd until the scene
looked like a railroad camp. Blasts
of powder on the sixth day brought the
workers with two feet of the imprison.
ed hound and it was pulled out.
The dog was still alive and feebly
wagged its tail to sh0w appreciation.
The rabbit had succumbei to hunger.
The workers went back to their
tasks and Wilson came back to his
business in Birmingham. He says
he does not regret the time spent in
the rescue work.

been his prize potato field, and his
acres of garden.
His profits were large, but he was

BLESSINGS OF POVERTY (?)
BY J. M. SALTER

To be poor was considered dis
grace everywhere before the church
exalted it as high as the heavenly
throne. Says the priest, blessed are
the poor" and this is echoed by the
protestant preachers.
Poverty is blessing in disguise"
pirates the school master.
The politician agrees with all three.
But the class-conscious worker can
see no blessing in Toe beds and sc
lunches. Nor in the white, pinched
face of his shivering, hungry child.
He can see no beauty in the filth and
vermin of a back-alley.
He says poverty should not exist,
when nature is so lavish in her bounty.
Poverty is the curse of the age.
1t is the cancer that is destroying the
very vitals of society. ut is the re-
suit of capitalism" says the militant
intelligent Socialist And he dedicates
his life to the destruction of capital
ism and the establishment of working
class cooperation, which means the
total abolition of poverty, with all it's
blessings" and exaltation-when suf-
fered by the other fellow

DISFRANCHIsED
BY G. IL. KLINE

1t Is quite well known now that the
Socialist party lost about rs per cent
of its votes in the recent election.
Most Of the comrades account for
that loss as being a failure on the
part of that rs per cent of voters to
demonstrate their qualification as So
ciallsts.
But / believe this to be mistake,
when we consider the method OF the
capitalist class in DISTINGUISHING the
workers. During the campaign Of 1908
told the comrades in Local Leayen-
worth, Wash, that panics and hard
times, preceding elections, would from
that time on be systematic method
of the capitalist class in DISTINGUISHING
the laborers, until they have reduced
the laboring class to such low de-
gree of political influence as to be
able to impose upon them a complete
disfranchise. In such way, perhaps
as by introducing the old grandfather
ballot, which provided that a man
must be worth a certain amount of
property to entitle him to the right to
vote.
1t Is obvious that the hard times
we have experienced in the last year
Is the cause of the loss of q large
number OF revolutionary votes. Since
unemployment makes 1t impossible for
the laboring man to remain in one
place long enough to entitle him to
the right to vote. AS a result he is
disfranchised for that election.
Now when we consider that five
or six million men have been enlisted
in the army of the unemployed, it is
easy to suppose that some four hun
dred thousand of that army belonged
in the revolutionary ranks. This ex-
plains why the rural districts, which
are made up of permanent citizens,
outdid the industrial districts on the
Socialist vote.
Now my proposal is that we start a
vigorous campaign for universal suf-
frage on the ground that a man be
able to vote any place in the United
States as long as he is an American
citizen. Regardless of the time he
spends in any one district before cleo
ton, or his valuation of property
This would give a fundamental
basis on the political side of the revo-
luton, which would turn hard times
almost to an advantage, when we
understand how education can be ac-
complished by economic pressure.

PARTY-OWNED AND PARTY
CONTROLLED

Lest there be some misunderstand-
ing as to the use Of the phrases party
owned and party controlled In relation
to The Washington Socialist, we wish
to explain that we use these words in
contrast with privately-owned and in
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. This paper is
owned by the Socialist party Of Sno-
homish county, and controlled by a
Board Of Trustees elected in mass
meeting, or county convention, of COM
rades in good standing. This Board,
acting for the entire county member
ship, selects the editor, business man
ager, and advertising manager; also
determines what their respective
wages shall be. The policy of the pa
per is under their direct supervision;
and comrades were elected at the last
meeting who could readily respond to
a call for a board meeting. 1t is I'M
derstood that the paper shall incur no
Indebtedness in the name of the coun-
ty membership. It's a case of pay up,
or close up. We have paid up. With
the energetic support of our readers,
with the help of voluntary army of
sub. hustlers, we shall contiHue not
only to pay up, but to grow up. Get
into the battle, comrade; come on in,
it's fine!"

THEY THINK so TOO

Since writing the above opinion OF
comrade Kirkpatrick forensic ability,
we find virtually the same high posi-
ton assigned him by The Montana
News, which says, in point;
"The Socialist platform has no
speaker today more thoughtful, more
forceful, or more convincing than
George r. Kirkpatrick. .
Every effective speaker must have a
certain amount of dramatic power,
and in this respect comrade Kirkpat-
rick is particularly gifted"
Just 80. Kirkpatrick's dramatic
power far transcends any that it has
been our privilege to hear on any lee
ture platform.
The Washington socialist. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1914-1915, 1915-02-25

Under Socialism, men and women
of manageable age will not be forced,
through lack of funds for support of
a family to enter into ill-advised sex
relations. Capitalism breeds "free
love-" sexual intersections, and pre-
vents the founding of happy homes.
The Ann Arbor revelations show typi.
cal by-products of an industrial system
that has long since ceased to produce
good fruit. Lay the ak at the roots,
for diseased tree cannot be made to
produce wholesome fruits. Socialism
will make possible the development of
the best in human nature, and supply
poor culture ground for the abnor-
NAL and degenerate.

sufficient on hand to pay the print

encouraging in view Of the fact that

excuse for the existence of a Socialist

this mission while there is one posi-

PROFIT MONGER

The phrase "profit-monger" Is en-
ployed In The Washington Socialist
with two different implications. nc.
cording TO tho context. 1t may be well
TO explain just what meanings we
wish to convey In the two instances,
Generally speaking. we use the
phrase as an expression of contempt,
as applying to class of persons who
can see no object In life beyond In
creasing profits; for profits they live
and move and have their ignoble be-
ing, and without profits they honestly
believe civilization" would come to
an end and society perish These are
genuine profit-mongers. by instinct,
breeding. and miseducation. We call
them profit-mongers in the same spirit
of contempt with which they wish to
stigmatize the word Socialist" as
used by them in their Ignorance and
sordidness. We detest their stupid
ity. though we do not blame them for
being what they are. We do not hate
them, but we despise their contempt
IDLY narrow outlook and their lack of
social ideals.
In the second use of the phrase pro-
fit.mongers we mean simply those
who by force of circumstances are
technically dependent upon profits
for living, but whose ideals are
social In nature and who personally
desire to see a cooperative common
wealth established, in which fraternity
and mutual aid. democracy and social
service will be the dominant factors
of civilization. These are the working
farmers and the merchants of adj
vanced ideals who live by work and
profits through necessity, not from
choice; who prefer system of pro-
duction for use, instead of for profits,
but who, finding themselves in the
minority, make the best of the situa'
ton, and try to beat the capitalistical-
ly-minded at their own game of profit
mongering. No odium attaches to the
phrase profit-moneer in their cases.
Particularly is this true in the case
of the Woodworking wealth-producing
farmer, himself one of the most hard
pressed, hard-worked. ill-requited vic
tins of capitalism. Only technically
is he profit-monger He is practical
ly a member of the working class. His
ultimate interests all lie with the
working-class, and he should identify
himself actively with the Socialists
though some of his immediate material
interests have to be sacrificed in sup
port of the wage-earning proletariat.
