NOT EXAGGERATED

There are no words that can make
this fact hideous and CHASTITY enough,
or vivid and revolutionary enough
the fact that society and it's institu-
lions are organized for the purpose
of enabling some people to live from
the toll Of the many. There is no
language strong enough to lay bare
the chasm that lies between the own
ing class and the producing class, be-
tween the class that works and the
class that reaps the fruit of that work.
Nor can there be any enduring peace
among men until this class crime is
forever abolished, and those who pro-
duce the wealth of the world are per
mitted to enjoy that wealth and no
man shall eat bread in the sweat of
another's brow.-Geo. D. Heron.

BY Morris kaplan

The writer has just returned from
a trip to the Pacific Coast and touched
eleven states besides British Column
bia, and other Canadian territory.
The real purpose of my trip was to
discover some possible spot in the
United States outside of oapitalistic
domain In hopes Of there being able
to sequestrate Ca number OF us) upon
governmental pre-emptive land and
build up a Cooperative Farm Colony
along cooperative lines and In that
way to an extent overcome or at least
alleviate some OF the hardships that
capitalistic civilization has made us

undaunted. | had twenty years of hell
in business life and being up to all
the tricks of the trade hoped to at
last be able to live as my conscience
suggested I should.
Alas, It did not take me long to dis
cover that there Is just rs much of
economic slavery upon the farms In
the United States as there is In the
shops, mills and factories. The farth-
err West | went the worse conditions
became. Here and there were q few
farmers that were making good" but
for each one of the make goods there
were at least nine others who were
living as out and out slaves to the soil
and to some banker or merchant or
real estate shark.
Life on the farm is all right provid-
ing one can find the ideal spot and
produce there the wherewithal to sup
ply his physical needs and have no
mortgage over his head.
1t was the ideal spot that I was
looking for.
But how many wage workers are
there that have ten thousand dollars
laid away that they have hopes of
drawing upon to harbor them in their
old age?
No, shall make no further attempt
to find myself a farm in the glorious
U.S.A., because it pays better to farm
the farmer than to farm the farm, and
though my conscience may cause me
certain qualms at times, / prefer the
qualms of conscience to lack of sus-

Every Workingman
Should Be A Socialist

been In partnership for twenty odd
years and during all of that time no
man could call me "wage-slave," and
propose to use my every endeavor
to keep away from the clutches OF the
master class.
! cannot, however, advise others to
follow my suggestion because hunger
will overcome them. Life is so short
and the stomach very often calls one
to time IL care Is not taken to feed 1t.
TO the man out Of job who is liv-
ing in hopes that there are POSSIBLE
ties for lettering his lot by going
farther west or east, or south, or
north, my suggestion is: Stay at home
and raise all the hell you can. BY
that l mean try your very utmost to
stir up discomfort along intelligent
lines. You are not the only discon.
tented man in society. There are
others and many of them. Economic
conditions are much the same all over
the United States. A few months in
the year of work and the rest of the
time in search of work. There are
not enough jobs to go around all the
twelve months Of the year to employ
the unemployed. Every new machine
introduced in shop, mill, mine, or fac
tory, saves labor only for the bene-
fit of the master class. Every time
an industry is trustified men are fore.
ed out OF the workshops to help swell
the unemployed army.
There is no hope, no salvation, for
the jobless except through the over
throw Of the present system of job
owning and job giving.
The wage-slave MUST become the
Master Of the Tools of Industry. He
who owns the Tools owns the Jobs.
The Socialist Party Is the only pollti.
cal party that aims to make every
man both job owner and a worker
at the job. Society, becoming the Gus
todian OF the natural resources, will
protect every man in his right to life,
to liberty and to equality OF opportun.
ity. politically, socially, and economi-
caIly.
II you want to become the master
of your labor power in the fullest
sense of the term, then join the So
cialist party and help those who have
already done so in the work for the
of the working class.
The Northwest worker. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1915-1917, 1915-11-11
YES, MORE THAN A PARTY

1t has been said by many, including
friend and foe. that the Socialist par
ty is more than political party, judg-
ing political parties from the prevail
Ing notion of political parties.
The Socialist Is inspired by an ideal.
He looks forward to more than cap
turing offices. He wants more than
victory at the polls now and then. He
wants new order of society.
The political party which gathers
into itself men and women with such
ideals MUST be more than q political
party. It must offer pretty nearly
complete range of expression for the
members of that party. It's philoso-
ply husband does-furnish new
and satisfying outlook on almost all
human relations.
This Is because the average person
Is totally misguided as to the llmita-
lions of politics. The average person
believes that politics stops with the
election of men. 1t doesn't True pol
itics, doesn't, that is.
The faith and philosophy of the So
cialist party are founded on an I'M
derstanding of society. It's whole work
is shaped in that light Therefore ev-
cry human activity that Is based on
the economic relation of man to man,
community to community, group to
group, takes on a new interest to the
individual who understands Socialism.
That Is why the Socialist party is a
brotherhood, place where science
gives it's wealth to each, and where
emotion finds untold range for en-
riching life. SO in this political party
life means more and Is richer and
fuller in every way. There is com
radeship in the Socialist party: there
is the sort of zeal for an ideal, passion
for service, true love for humanity,
that makes of the Socialist party a
social home, social world, for those
who have come to see the way to a
better order of things.
It's beacon Of sound sense and warm
humanity calls to all the world to en-
ter its portals and share not only in
the work of revolution and regenera-
ton, but in the passionate JOY that
comes from understanding and low
ing the work you do.-New York Call

Will be open at the high school build
ing, at the Pinehurst postoffice, and
at Eric Anderson's residence at the
Smelter between now and November

The Heart of Socialism

Do you believe that the worker
should control his work and enjoy
his product? If you do you are a
Socialist. You may know nothing
about the materialistic Interpretation
of history. 1t would be better for you
if you did, but you are a still a So
cialist.
You may not be able to explain
how surplus value is taken from the
worker. If you could, you could do
much better work for Socialism. But
you can be Socialist without know
ing this theory.
You may not know that you are
waging the class struggle, and there.
fore you may work against the very
thing you desire. If so, then your So
cialism is still unconscious and not
very effective.
But the heart of Socialism, the cen.
trail idea which lies at it's base, is that
THE WORKER SHALL CONTROL
HIS WORK AND ENJOY HIS PRO
DUCT.
Do you believe in that?
Can you prove that it is not right
an dsocially desirable?
Can you show any way by which the
worker can control his work and get
his product while some one else owns
the things-the mills, mines, factories
and tooIs-with which the work Is
done?
Can you suggest any way in which
ALL the workers-mental and man
ual-can own these things individual
ly? If they cannot own them individ
ually, must they not own them col
lectIveIy, IL they are to control their
own work and have their own pro
duct?
You agree to all this, do you? Then
will you please explain any better
way of getting this collective owner
ship, and giving the workers power

to control their work and enjoy their
product than for the laborers to use
their ballots.
If you agree with this conclusion,
then you are a Socialist, who should
be in the Socialist party That is all
you need to believe. That, is the
whole apostles creed.
No one will ask you about your re-
ligion. You may be Jew or Gentle,
Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Spiritual
list, Theosophist, Dowieite or atheist
If you want the workers to manage
work and enjoy the product, no ques-
tons will be asked as to your religion.
If you have religion that maintains
that someone who tolls not should
control labor and enjoy the products,
then your religion will interfere with
your Socialism. Not otherwise.
This is the heart of Socialism. Yet
this is the thing that it's enemies
never discuss.
There is much more to Socialism.
Giving the laborer the control of his
labor and his product would revolu-
tionize every social institution. All
those institutions that depend upon
social parasitism would disappear.
That is why the most powerful
forces in present society fight Social
ism and lie about it. That is why all
it's enemies seek to draw attention
from this central thought of Social
ism. They are not deceived. They
are opposed to just this basic princi-
pie. They do not want labor to rule
production and keep the product.
They want parasites to boss the work
ers and take the lions share of the
product. But they do not dare to say
this. Therefore they lie about Social
ism and say 1t means all sorts of
things that never were advocated by
any Socialist organization in the
world.

GOV. GOLDSBOROUCH
In SENATORIAL RACE.
Announces Candidacy for Nomination
On Republican Ticket Folihcians
However. Look to Weller.

Governor Goldsborough has announc-
ed his candidacy for the United States
Senate on the Republican ticket The
Governor made the announcement of
his proposed candidacy yesterday.
The Governor gave out a brief state
ment in which he said that he acted
after a careful consideration of the
requests of many persons" and that
he hoped ''to receive the endorsement
and support of all Republicans"
The Governors announcement prob
ably indicates three things-first, that
he made up his mind that he would not
sin away his day of grace as he did
when he delayed and delayed and de
layed determining whether he would
be a candidate for denomination for
Governor; second. that, although the
carefully nurtured plan to swing the
JacksonS Stone following to his sup
port slipped cog in the conference
which were held in the last few days,
he believes he will have the backing of
former Senator Jackson, and probably
in the end that of William f. Stone, and
third. that he thinks his prompt en-
trance into the fight may deter Roads
Chairman o. E. Weller or any third
man from getting into the field. Ed
ward c. Darlington has been in The
running some time.
Politicians are now looking toward
Mr. Weller They want to know if he
intends to be a candidate. There is
not much doubt that the friends of Mr.
Stone are very anxious for him to
enter. They want him to be a candi-
date because that would relieve them
of the necessity of che osing between
which is the same thing to Mr. Stone
and his friends as choosing between
taking carbolic acid and bichloride of
mercury. And they think that if MIR
Weller were candidate he would run
very strong on his own account, and,
possibly, would be able to pull Mr.
Jackson away from the Governor II
generally is believed, should it be
said, Mr. Jackson, at heart, is for the
Governor and is ostensibIy and osten-
tatiously neutral, merely that he may
be able to reason" with Mr. Stone and
persuade him TO fall into line
If there is anyone who knows
whether Mr. Weller intends to be a
candidate, everyone else is awfully
fooled. He was seen yesterday at the
office of the Roads Commission in the
Garrett Building, Baltimore, and asked
if It would be proper to ask il he in
tended to run. He replied that it would
be entirely proper TO ask. Then he was
asked. His reply to that was that he
had not found anything in years that
gave him such intellectual AMI phys
ical stimulation as playing a bit of
Republican politics

DEATH OF MISS RANDALL.
Was Sister Of Author of MARYLAND My
Maryland

Miss Fannie II. Randall, sister OF
James Ryder Randall author OF Mary
land, My Maryland. died yesterday at
her home in Baltimore from paralysis
She was stricken suddenly eleven days
ago on her return from mass at Corpus
Christi Catholic Church, that city.
II had been her custom to attend
daily mass there for many years. She
had been in excellent health up to that
day and when stricken was busy with
her croeheting needles.
Miss Randall was the daughter OF
John X Randall and was born in Bal
timore 81 years ago. She was young
girl at the time of the Civil War, when
her brother wrote the Maryland an
them, which placed his name high
among American poets. But she was
as intensely loyal to Maryland and to
the South in her feelings as he was.
Her other brother, John Randall, of
Baltimore, died last March. She is sur
vived by one sister, Miss Emily Ran
dali, and several nieces and nephews.
She was an active worker in Corpus
Christi Church.

FLAMES DESTROY
LINTH|CUM HOME
Mansion of Congressman's Brother
Total Loss.
THE FIRE SPREADS RAPIDLY.
Originating in China Closet While
Children and Cook Are in the Kitch-
en-, Blaze Gains Great Head
way and Soon Envelopes Large
Structure at Linthicum
HaiChfS

A tall concrete chimney is all that
remains to mark the site of the beauti-
Tul colonial home of Congressman j.
Charles Linthicum, at "Linthicum
Heights this county, which. with all
of its furnishings, was destroyed by fire
yesterday afternoon.
The blaze originated in the china
closet, in the dining-room. Less than
half an hour before it's discovery Mrs
Linthicum and her three children were
lunching in the dining-room. When
the smoke was discovered, Mrs Linth-
icum, the children and the cook were
in the kitchen, preparing for the hol-
iday season.
With a rapidity that is hardly con-
ceivable, the fire srpead to the furni-
ture in the room and TO the tapestries
and adjoining rooms. Mrs. Linthicum
and her children. together with the
cook were forced to flee and seek
refuge in the home of Mr. Linthicum's
brother, Seth Fl. Linthicum, short
distance away.
When they reached there an alarm
of fire was telephoned to the Linth-
icum Heights Volunteer Fire Depart
ment and the Brooklyn. Anne Arundel
county departments, who responded,
as did all OF the residents of the
Heights.
Because of the condition of the roads
and the ice it was with much difficulty
that the firemen reached the scene.
When they did get there, after evperi-
encing much difficulty with the roads,
the fire had spread to such proper
tions that it was impossible to save any
part of the building.
The house was a two and-one-half
story building and contained twelve
rooms, and was one of the show places
of the Heights.
