lican, democratic, prohibition or pro-
gressive q believe there are a few

must be informed and taken into the
Socialist party, if the party is to sue
coed politically.
WAS THIS PLANK JUSTIFIED?
Too many Socialist propagandists
speak in language not understood.
They fire their shots entirely over
the mark, or fail to reach it. In eth
er case we have failed and nothing
comes of our effort. In Oregon (1914
election), the Socialist party put out
a measure to form a department of
industry and public works. 1t was
generally conceded to be a Socialist
measure; though, in reality, it was but
state capitalism or what is commonly
called state Socialism. 1t got the at
tention and votes of about $4,000 citi-
zens. Much prejudice must have
been removed and some education &C
CURED to get so large a vote when the
average for our candidates was less
than $4,000. AS a result, 10000 citi-
zens favorably considered Socialist
propaganda, and many others must
have seriously reviewed it, as all the
votes cast for and against the mea-
sure was $4,000 less than the total
vote of the state. Inasmuch then as
thinking and study, is the means by
which knowledge must be increased,
did the Oregon Socialist party do
right or wrong in putting out that
measure? Was this misapplied en-
ergy, or did it tend to educate the
citizens of Oregon in matters that
would lead them to a better under
standing of Socialism?

INDIRECT PROPAGANDA

That the Socialists of the United
States have caught on to the capital
lists method of indirect propaganda,
through diverse mediums, is evidenc-
ed by the eagerness with which the
Reds have entered into the work of
popularizing q song which, instead of
clarifying war and the soldier, holds
the horror Of military murder ana
working-class self-immolation up in
it's true light. Instead of the mother
who is proud to offer up her darling
boy" for cannon fodder, for the
flag" and Profits, the intelligent
mother says, 81 Didn't Raise My Boy
to Be a Soldier" That's the senti'
ment mothers! Comrades, sing 1t at
theml Encourage your boy or girl
to learn the song and sing it every
where. The masters will be slow
about advertising the song. They'd
suppress it if they could Let US sing
it everywhere. We have requested
the Everett Music House, 1882 Colby
avenue, to buy a good supply of this
really worth while song, and to make
it a point to push it's sale, at 15c
which they are doing. Order a copy

THE INTELLIGENT CLASS
VERSUS THE MILITARY
CLASS

'If we compare one century with
another, we shall find that for a very
long period wars have been becom-
ing less frequent. Every i'm
portant addition made to knowledge
increases the authority of the intel
lectual classes the antagon-
ism between these classes and the
military class is evident; it is the an
tagonism between thought and ac-
ton, between argument and
violence, between persuasion and
force, between men who live
by the pursuits of peace and those
who live by the practice of war.
Whatever, therefore, is favorable to
one class is manifestly unfavorable
to the other. 49,. AS the intel
lectual acquisitions of a people in
crease, their love of war will dimin-
ish; and if their intellectual acquisi-
lions are very small, their love of
war will be very great In perfectly
barbarous countries no account
is made of any man, unless he has
killed an enemy; and the more he
has killed, the greater the reputation
he enjoys. This is the purely saw
age state, and it is the state in which
military glory is most esteemed and
military men most respected. Pages

BOSTROM s LETTER TO STITT
WILSON
Basis of Controversy Between
Barzee and Bostrom


J. Stitt Wilson,
Sub-Com. of the Nat. Elk. Com.
Dear Comrade; Replying to your
circular letter of January 1, in which
you request criticism and suggestions
for the good of our organization, /
wish to say
That while there are many very
grave errors and blunders in the man
agement of the party affairs and the
position the organization has taken
toward organized labor Is untenable,
conditions which must be fundamen-
tally changed before we can hope to
amount to much, there Is one cause
for the failure of the party to adj
vance, which SO utterly overshadows
all other causes that nothing else is
worth mentioning before that cause Is
eliminated.
That cause Is the incongruous, con-
fused, inconsistent platform declara-
lions in favor of every populistic re-
form ever conceived.
Were the party the political ex-
preston, exclusively, of the working
class, /. e., were all the party mem
bers workingmen and working wom-
en-, then there could be no other fault
to find with Immediate demands"
than their uselessness. The same, of
course, holds good with any other
class homogeneous party. But since
the peculiar conditions existing in
this country, render it impossible to
organize political party exclusively
working class, it follows that the plat
form must contain nothing else than
what every individual of it's heterogen-
GUS membership can readily subscribe
to, if harmony is to prevail.
That single demand, is the conquest
of the powers of government for the
purpose of the introduction of the CO.
operative commonwealth, i. e., the re-
volution. Universal suffrage and a
shorter working day would probably
be considered matter of course, al
most unnecessary to mention, and
would cause no disruption. But, it is
certainly useless to expect taxpayers
to vote to tax themselves out of mid
die class existence, and unreasonable
| to expect any intelligent worker to
vote for lower taxes, municipal owner
ship, ETC., ad nauseam. The attempt
to perform such unnatural feats is
what has made many sensible men
cautiously watch the party from safe
distance, instead of actively partici-
pating in it's work. 1t looks too much
as if our offer to serve every class
except the millionares, were merely a
vote catching devise. The citizenship
of America is none too intelligent, but
it is just barely possible that while it
expects to be fooled by old party
politicians, it considers it unnecessary
to take the trouble to change parties
for the purpose of getting the same
service from people who glibly prom
Use unattainable things.
At any rate, there can be no peace
in the party, and should be none, I'M
til the party becomes single minded
and consistent in it's purpose and gilt
tering generalities, bombast, reform
fakes and all other opportunist bun
combe is relegated into innocuous de-
suetude.

UTOPIANISM VERSUS REVO-
LUTIONARY SOCIALISM
BY FRANS BoSTRoM

In order to be able to arrive at any
result whatever, IL Is always neces-
sary In debate that the two oppon-
ents start out from one common
premise. Thereafter each statement
of fact made by either must be ac-
cepted by the other, before 1t can be
used in building up the argument.
Beliefs, traditions, commonly accept
ed opinions have no value In an argu-
ment, only facts, scientific truths.
And the premises laid down by com
rade Barzee are not facts. Society Is
not homogeneous, the interests of the
individual members of 1t are not have
never been and can never be identical
As an entity one society may have a
common interest as against another
society At any rate, the law OF self
preservation applies to societies as
we'll as to individuals. There is no in
stance in history of any society In
which there was not a class struggle
Communism never prevailed in any
society The tribe was but an en-
largement of the family. ! here con-
slider the word SOCIETY as identical
with the word STATE, which coin
cides with comrade Barzee's use of
the terms.
FUNCTION OF THE STATE
The state was originally an alliance
of slave owners for the common de-
Tense against invaders and for the con-
venient subjugation of their slaves.
"A harmonious establishment of
correct relations" to use the com
rade's phrase, is therefore not our
goal, since we have no desire to go
backward and re-establish anything.
In all history, the class which was
most concerned in the readjustment
of the affairs of the state, was the
one which brought it about. Appeals
to the fairmindedness and generosity
of the governing class has never given
results, nor has the promise of heaven
and the fear of hell. The fact that
lenient masters have existed proves
nothing, nor millionaire Socialists.
To quote Tolstoy: THE masters will
do anything for the workers except
getting off their backs" The work
ers, being always miserable, "having
always the world to gain and nothing
;. to lose" have always been ready for
the revolution, whenever it suited
their betters" to rebel, and have al
ways been left in the lurch when the
victory had been achieved. 1t is time
for the workers to cease to be the
catspaw of another class.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES"
Every revolution has so far been
for equal opportunities. In other
words, it has been a revolt of the
clever ones against the monopoly OF
inherited power. Whenever in any
social development the ruling class
has been sufficiently established tC
become arrogant, it closes the door OF
opportunity and refuses admittance to
upstairs. Then the trouble begins
The slaves get leaders The bribery
of promotion not being offered to the
more intelligent of the mob they get
restless and demand a change. They
turn to the NUTS, the Jimmie Hig
ginses, for aid. Any Jimmy responds
always. And when the victory is
