SOCIALISTS MAKE BIG GAIN
IN SWEDEN

CHRISTIANA, Sweden, Nov. g.
The first ballots of the elections have
taken place.
In Ga constituencies second ballots
will be necessary.
OF the remaining SO the Radicals
hold SO and Labor Democrats 2, in
both cases the same number as be-
fore.
TIE Socialists hold Is, as compared
with 10, and the Conservatives and
Liberals s, as compared with -.
This is the first election at which
universal suffrage for women as we'll
as men has been in operation. At the
1912 election the number of women's
votes was limited by various restric-
lions.
AS was expected the Socialists have
gained largely by the change, their
votes being by far the most disciplin-
ed.
The number of votes cast for So
cialist candidates has increased by
about 40 per cent, while the increase
of Radical votes is about Is per cent.
and of Conservatives only about
per cent.
Although the government has been
severely criticised they have thus
gained great victory, since it is
practically certain they will be backed
up by the same number of representa-
tives as before.
The reason, probably, is that there
is hardly any alternative government.
In the last voting the representa-,
tives were 73 Radicals, or government
party, 8 Labor Democrats, "a Conser.

The CAUSE
BY Walt. Whitman

Courage! my brother, or my sister!
Keep on! Liberty is to be subseryed'
whatever occurs.
That is nothing that is quelled by one
or two failures. or any number OF
failures.
Or by the Indifference or ingratitude
of the people, or by any unfaithful'
ness.
Or to the show of tushes Of power,
soldiers, cannon, penal statutes.
What we believe in waits latent for
ever through all the continents and
all the islands OF the sea.
What we believe in invites no one,
promises nothing, sits in calmness
and light, 1t Is positive and com
posed, knows no encouragement,
waiting patiently, waiting its time,
The battle RACES with many a loud
alarm, and frequent advance and
retreat.
The infdel triumphs--or supposes he
triumphs.
The prison, sc9rlold, CARROT, hand,
cnnYs. iron necklace, and anklet,
leadballs, do their work.
The great speakers and writer's are
exiled-they lie sick in distant lands.
The cause is asleep-the strongest
throats are still, choked with their
own blood.
The young men drop their eyelashes
toward the ground when they meet,
But, for all this, liberty has not gone
out of the place, nor the infidel en-
tered into possession.
When liberty goes out of the place, ii
is not the first to go, nor the second
or third to so. 1t waits for all the
rest to go-it is the last.
When there are no more memories
of heroes and martyrs,
And when all life and all the souls of
men and women are discharged
from any part of the earth.
Then only shall liberty be discharged
from that part of the earth
And the infidel and the tyrant come
into possession.
Then courage, revolter, revoltress!
For till all ceases neither must you
cease!
do not know what you are for q do
not know what l am for myself, nor
what anything is for). .~-l'
But I will search carefully for it even
in being foiled
In defeat, poverty, Imprisonment
for they, too, are great.
Did we think victory great?
So it is-but now it seems to me,
when it cannot be helped, that de-
feat is great.
And that death and dismay are great

NOW OR NEVER

If we are to keep the paper in the
field we must patronize the mer'
chants that advertise in this paper
The advertisers must pay the print
bill. Subscriptions alone cannot keep
the paper alive. We are already feel
ing the pinch. The Everett campaign
has been a heavy drain on our resour
ces. If we had reelected Salter we
could have been sure of a few dollars
for the maintenance fund. We want
you to look up our advertisers and
deal with them. We must hold what
advertisers we have and also get
more.

INDUSTRIAL MURDER

Thirty-one dead charred and mutt

of the Ravensdale mine last week be-
cause the owners would not spend a
little of the profits to make the mine
reasonably safe. Congressman Humph-

DON'T DO
IT AGAIN

Two years ago the Socialist Party
of Everett placed two candidates in
the field for school directors, in re.
Spouse to noisy demand on the part
of comrades.
Yes, indeed. '
We put them in the field
And we left them there, all alone.
They polled less than 40 votes
each!
In the preceding presidential cleo
ton over 1000 votes were cast in Ev-
erett for Eugene V, Debs. Had we
got out this same vote for orr school
directors, and added 1877 to it, we
would have elected both our candi-
dates.
If we can get out the vote that was
cast for Comrade ]. M. Salter less
than two weeks ago, we can elect
Comrade Katherine H. Hodgins to
the school board on Dec. =
But we can't possibly get out these
1896 voters who cast their ballots for
Salter on the 10th inst. unless we
make a determined personal cam
paign to this end.
Few Socialist voters. to say nothing
of mere sympathizers, realize the i'm
portance OF electing Socialists to
school boards. This is especially true
of the voters of cities. In country
school districts it seems to be better
understood, and our rural comrades
make splendid efforts to place repre-
sentatives of the workers on the To-
cal school board.
The Socialists ofsEverett nave just
exhausted their resources on the mu-
nicipal campaign, so they can make
no special literature or paper distri-
button in this school director election.
1t is up to each man and woman in
Everett who wishes to see the wage
earning element of Everett represent
ed on the school to constitute himself
or herself committee of one to help
get out the vote on Sat. Dec. A.
We have the very great advantage
of having for our candidate a wom-
an who is in every way much better
qualified for. the office than are any
of her opponents-at least better quail
flied than is any one of those whose
names have so far been mentioned as
possible candidates. And who could
the bourgeoisie select as their candi-
date for the school board who would
be the equal of Katherine H. Hodgins
for this position, even applying their
own standards of fitness?
So, all things considered, we Social
lists should back up our claims to eff
cheney and zeal by a united and en-
thusiastic personal campaign for the
election of our exceptionally well quail
flied candidate, Katherine H. Hodg-

AUSTR ALLAN MINERS
FEDERATE

The coal miners of Australia have
at last succeeded in forming them
selves into a federation embracing
the coal miners of all the states, with
the exception of Western Australia.
The formation of the federation is an
achievement, and is gladly welcomed.
The objective of the Federation is the
thing that matters. 1t stands for the
complete overthrow of the present
wage system and the Inauguration Of
the Cooperative Commonwealth.

A. If there is natural water

then G can do nothing, but must be

However, if there is no well-marked

The county cannot be compelled to
open or maintain any drainage ditch.
