FROM OUR READERS.

Mr.. Editorials there Is consider
able writing about war, and what po-
sition, or stand, Socialists should take
in time of war, / want to say that /
am for war; first and last-unrelenting
war And would press the fight I'M
til there Is an unconditional surrender
of the enemy. That enemy Is not Ger
many, or Mexico, or any other coun-
try where the laboring or common
people have to do the fighting; but
that enemy is the exploiting capitalist
class, that murder women and chill
dren for profit; that compel men and
women to sell their manhood and
womanhood for an existence; that
have corrupted the courts of this great
nation until there is no Justice; that
have stolen the public land that should
have been homesteaded by the peo-
pie; that have combined and schemed
through deceit and fraud until they
have got possession of everything sup
piled SO abundantly by Nature that the
common people haven't any more
chance in this great country than
jack rabbit has among lot OF
hounds. Then why not make war on
such pirates?
| ask: How can any sensible labor
ing man go to war for these exploit
ers? Not l. am red internationale,
and we have but one enemy--the CAPT
talist class, with headquarters at
Broadway. In conclusion, l want to
say that I am not on the fight with
Socialists, like the little Curlew Local,
that wants to take the Appeal to Rea-
son and John X. Turner by the nap
of the neck and the seat of the pants
and throw them bodily out of the So
cialist party. Now, just so long as
we Socialists have nothing to do but
try to stir up fuss among ourselves,
we will never get anywhere. The APP
peal to Reason is one of the greatest
papers We have. They are always on
the job, and they are fighters of the
first quality. And think l am safe
in saying they have made more So
cialists than any other paper or bunch
of men in the Socialist party. When
the little Curlew Local charges them
with being either fools or knaves,
they simply show their ignorance. or
they want to get up a fuss that will
split the Socialist party from center
to circumference.

LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
THE SOCIALIST PICNIC
1T WAS A BIG SUCCESS IN EVERY
RESPECT-SPLEND ADDRESS
BY CARRIE w. ALLEN
(From Monroe independently

(From Monroe independently
The grand picnic given on Sunday
last at Kruses grove, under the au-
spices of the Monroe local of the So
cialist party, was in every sense n
complete success, The day was an
ideal one from the standpoint of wealth
err, the place where IL was held ideal
iy situated and easy of access from
the city, and all arrangements SO well
carried out in every detail that there
was nothing lacking in the making of
n very pleasant and recreative time.
In the matter of attendance, too, 1t
was big success, for fully 500 people
attended during the day.
The principal feature of the after
noon was the address by Carrie w.
Allen, who spoke for two hours and
gave very clear and succinct elabora.
ton on her text: WAR, Cause and
Cure" During this long address many
things were said that were not new
to many of the listeners, those who
have been attending lectures by So
cialst speakers: but they were pre-
scented in new way, and most inter-
estingly, for Madame Allen is a very
fluent and clear-voiced speaker Her
address was chiefly along the eco
nomic phases Of existing business and
governmental conditions and what
they would be under Socialist re-
gime.
She devoted much time to an indict-
ment of warning Europe and the
causes which brought about the great
conflict that has waged there for the
past year, and which shows little
symptoms of soon reaching finish.
The audience was so large that
many were compelled to stand or lie
on the sod out of sight of the speaker,
many of them, but the closeness of
the attention given her was very
fair evidence of the interest they had
in the subject spoken on and how in
terestingly it was handled.
Following the address was a social
hour, after which the remainder Of the
afternoon and evening was given over
to dancing.
The Monroe Independent band fur
nished very fine music during the en-
tire occasion of the picnic. Autos TAX
| ing people to and fro were in plenty,
which lent to the success of the I'M
dertaking.

POWER OF ADVERTISERS

The Detroit Labor News published
the fact that in that city there are ten
men for every job and advised those
seeking work to stay away. The next
week the largest advertiser in the
paper-a department store-withdrew
its advertising and gave as it's reason
the statement that the paper was
knocking the town." And still some
people will insist that advertisers do
not attempt to dictate the policy of
the press,

ANSWERS FINGARSON

Everett, Wn., Aug. 7, 1915
The Northwest Worker:
I will endeavor to answer Comrade
Fingarson's questions.
The relief from the wrongs Of CAPT
talism are to be sought only by the
abolition of the wage system.
At present unionism seems to be
breaking down. This, l think, is be-
cause there is too much surplus labor
on the market and modern machinery
is being made so simple that it re-
quires very little skilled labor to run
it.
Look at the automobile for instance
A few years ago it required skilled
mechanic to run one; now it is so
simple that any one can learn to run
it with a little practice.
Now, comrade, as far as taxing cor
porations is concerned, you would have
mighty hard time getting that law
through
Why not spend that much energy in
getting the real thing?
If this law was passed the big cor
porations would probably get around
it; as long as they control the gov
eminent why should they worry?
The little fellow would be the one
who would have to live up to the law
The more laws the better the big
corporations like it.
Yours for the real thing,
BONNER BARTLETT.

SUCCESS AT OMAK.

Omak, Wn., July 27, 1915.
Northwest Worker:
You will be glad to hear that Mrs.
Carrie w. Allen made decided hit

ripped capitalism up the back. Some
basket dinner awaited us. She took
that town too.

CUSTOM.

Customs the worlds great idol we

And knowing this, we seek to know no

What education did at first conceive,
Our ripen'd eye confirms us to believe

To learn opinions and our country's

1t just so happened that the True

Helen said she wouldn't.
Helen, as every one over in Mag
nolia Park knows, is the husky wife
of one Calvin Durant Calvin and an
other decidedly brunette lady fred"
were strolling out among the trees
in that section of the city Saturday
night was a week ago, when they
were overtaken by Helen, who proved
to be an expert in the use of a pock
ct knife. She took three strokes at
the strolling couple, and left three
dangerous cuts-two on her husband
and one on the latter's affinity"
Then it was, Helen testified, that
Calvin pulled a picket from a nearby
fence and began chastising her. "He
beats me fo' block" she declared,
when All sees de True Light Church.
All runs into it, and hides in de dark
ness. He can't find me. All stays
dere half an hour, o rlong enough fo'
him to get cooled off considerably"
But Calvin's temper of anger had
not dropped sufficiently when Helen
slipped out from the darkness of the
True Light Church to cause him to
forget the cutting of 80 minutes be-
fore. With the same old picket, he
again attacked her. she testified, "and
he beats me black and blue"
The mayor gave Calvin the min
imum fine of $5 and costs. It cost
Helen $3.50 and costs for interfering
with her husbands love making. .-

and for whom The police of the entire
South and West have been searching
since that time on the charge of en-
bezzlement, has been arrested in Hous-

Sheriff A. &c. HARRISON who left Hat
tiesburg yesterday for the Texas city,
reached there today. He will return
Smith to Forrest county where he will
face four indictments for embezzle-

Whether the former reai.y operator
and insurance man will insist upon
requisition papers being issued, is not
known. A dispatch from the chief Of
police of Houston to the Sheriff's Of

The arrest of the former Hatties-
burfgian was brought about by his
recognition in Houston by a former
resident of this city, the identity Of
whom is being kept a secret by the
Sheriffs office. Smith was seen
passing down a street in Houston Sat
urday, and was recognized. This
recognition was Immediately told to
the police who went over their rec
ords and found that a reward OF S25
had been offered for the man. 1t was
easy to locate him. He was placed un-
der arrest, locked up, and the For
rest county officials notified.
How long Smith has been in Hous-
ton is not definitely known. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that he went direct
ly there when he disappeared from
Hattiesburg He was conducting a
rooming house. and was caring for the
children while Mrs. Smith was EN-
ployed as clerk in Houston store.
