The Washington socialist. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1914-1915, 1915-06-17

I The other evening the writer met
a once prominent and Woodworking
Socialist and asked him why he was
no longer active in the party. He re-
piled: There doesn't seem to be
anything worth coming around about"
wonder IL that comrade realized that
there never would be anything worth
while as long as large number OF
Socialists thought as he did. Whose
business was 1t to make things worth
while? Is the Socialist party side
show for the entertainment of its
members? Do such comrades expect
a few hard working, true-red members
who are sacrificing time and energy
for the party to carry all the burden
Of party activity and provide enter
est" for them at the same time? The
Socialist party is what its members
make 1t. Some Of these comrades are
in the habit OF hiding their laziness
and Indifference behind a dislike for
some active individual or group of
persons. That is contemplate and un-
worthy of Socialist. We are work.
ing for SOCIALISM, for we need them
all. Their need Of sunshine in which
to work but shows the shallowness
Of their conviction.
AII-Weather Socialists.
Hundreds OF the Socialists who
Joined our movement four years ago,
when the tide was high, have dropped
out. When the inevitable rebound to-
ward radicalism returns, they will
probably join again. Old time men,
bers who have lost heart or who lack
ed the devotion and stamina to tide
them over this period of depression,
will then become active once more.
The sooner the better for we need
them all. Their need of sunshine in
which to work and speak is perhaps
temperamental and we will forgive
them.
But the backbone of the Socialist
movement will be then, as always, the
patient, plodding Jimmy Higginses,
the men and women to whom Social
ism is the meaning of life and who
can be counted on when needed most
the "all weather Socialists"

HAD A GOOD TIME

The comrades that took advantage
of the excursion to Holmes harbor
last Sunday had a thoroughly enjoy
able outing. The weather was not
very promising in the morning, but
before noon the clouds vanished and
the sun shone down or a calm sea.
Bruce Rogers was orator of the day,
and gave forceful and eloquent talk
on the Socialist party and it's work.
His speech was very we'll received.
Editor Shipley was called to the stand
and spoke briefly on the inevitability
of wars so long as capitalism survives.
The local comrades at Freeland did
all they could to help us have good
time, which we succeeded in doing
and we hope to be able to take adj
vantage of another trip there before
the summer shall have closed.

THE GOOD MAN" DELUsIoN

The workers have no such enemies
to be Stunned and dreaded, no such
decisions and lies to be combated, as
those of the reformistic leaders and
ers of analysis to discern the essential
snobbery, the infidelity toward man,
in the mere reformer's mind and
method. Always, whether he be
Roosevelt or another, he proceeds
upon an assumption of the need of q
stronger and more respectable ruling
class; upon an assumption of the need
of vaster and more benevolent CO.
ercions. He is always the superior"
person. who believes in the sole gov
erning capacity and right of super.
ior" persons. He does not for mo-
ment believe in freedom; nor in the
self-organizing capacity of the workers
or their self-governing right. Nor will
he and his like ever achieve the things
they promise. AS infidel as they are
in their mental attitudes, as cowardly
as they are in procedure, so false will
they be in their fruits. Divested of all
deceit, they propose a subtler politi-
cal exploitation of the proletary. They
come, not with economic emancipation,
but bringing refined and stronger
riveted capitalist chains. They but
use the miseries of a distracted world
for the exalting of themselves. They
trifle with the symptoms of universal
disease and evade the disease itself
it's deep cause and it's deeper cure.
Not through these, therefore, cometh
social help and healing, but solely
through the sufficient faith of the So
cialist, and the fire he has kindled in
the earth.-George D. Heron.

FAIR WEATHER SOCIALISTS

far we are from the mllinnium, aftel
all, and OF how weak we Socialists
were internationally as compared will
the combined solidarity of capital
This seemed the last straw in the load
that was to break the Socialist cour
age.
But why enumerate these pessim
istic facts? Only in order that We
may understand where we are and on
whom and what we may count.
We are passing through a crisis
now and in order to keep up our cour
age we should understand that the
fault has not been entirely ours. In
stead Of petty pickering and balmine
of one another we should analyze the
forces which mold and sway the SO
cialist movement the same an any 9th
err The Socialist party Is not the only
victim OF this universal reaction. The
!. w. w. and the Socialist Labor party
have been practically killed by It.
The fate of the National Progressive
party should show us which way the
wind is blowing.
The Real soclaIists--Who They Are
The Socialist who stands by the
ship now is the REAL Socialist, and
thank Heaven there are many OF them
The Socialist who In the midst OF
seeming stagnation and opposition has
enough faith In the justice of his cause
to stand firm. is the stuff OF which
revolutionists are made. The man or
woman who refuses to allow his or
her financial or domestic misfortunes
to smother the activities necessary to
the life Of the movement is worthy to
be citizen OF the cooperative com.
monwealth.
Unfortunately we have with us a
type of Socialist who lacks either the
altruism of the faith necessary for
such a sacrifice. At the first hint OF
reaction he loses heart. When the
meetings cease to interest him he
stays at home. When trouble and diff.
ficulties appear he blames some fel.
low who Is doing the work. This is
the fair weather Socialiat.'' He
reserves his activities to- periods of
sunshine and prosperity.

We have decided to wait till our
readers advance the necessary $500
cash for securing the printery. But
there is no time to lose, as some one
may snap up the exceptional bargain.
We expected good response at
once through the mail, but it has not
come up to this time moon Tuesday,
SO we are going to wait for the So
Hcialists to take fiction. What 10 your
pleasure? The plant may be sold any
day, but we will not make a move
until we are sure of an enthusiastic
backing.
We have been offered job work.from
several different quarters, and this
will keep the plant going and reduce
the cost of printing the paper.
We are telling you that this is a
splendid opportunity, and we are 60
ing to leave it "up to you" to act.
Send check for the amount that
you can spare; anything from dollar
up to all you have. If the plant is
meanwhile sold to someone else, we
will return your money.
If you have not the ready cash, but
will pay inside of a month, let US
know, and We can work accordingly.

THE KIND THAT is A REAL
MENACE TO CAPITALISM

At federal council of the Churches
of Christ in America which met in
Philadelphia, Rev. Charles Stelsle, of
New York, declared that the churches
must look after the religious and NOR
al welfare of immigrants in order to
prevent the forward march of social
ism. while our churches are desert
ing the down town fields in New York
and letting the immigrants look out
for themselves, socialism is stepping
in" said Mr. Stelsle.
Every night speeches are made
from boxes on street corners and the
foreigners are accepting Socialism
And it is not the Christian Socialism
that you hear about, but it is the so
cialism that breaches revolution and
is real menace to the country"

SOCIALISTS TO MEET IN JULY
Socialist News Service)

THE HAGUE.-An international
congress Of Socialists Is to be attempt.
ed at The Hague early in July. All
the neutral countries will be repre-
sented, and delegations have already
been selected to represent England
and Germany, but it is not yet certain
that Russia, France and Belgium will
participate. The Russian Socialist
leaders have accepted the invitation
subject to certain special conditions.
The Belgian leader, M. Vandervelde,
has refused point blank to have any
thing to do with any conference in
which Germany participates. The
French Socialists and syndicalists also
declined the invitation in the first
place, but M. Ottorino Morgari, leader
of the Italian Neutralist party has
gone to Paris in hopes of persuading
them to reconsider. Austria and Hun
gary will be represented If it Is pos
sible for their delegates to get
through Germany for this purpose.

WAR, THAT'S ALL!

The first comprehensive table, show
ing the number of men killed, wound
ed and taken prisoners on both sides
of the gigantic conflict raging in Eu-
rope is printed by a German contem-
porary. The lists purport to show the
casualties of the war up to March,
1915, and have been compiled by the
Red Cross society of Germany
A glance at the table shows the
terrible havoc that has been wrecked
upon Europes finest young men in
the first seven months of the war.
According to the table, over 100000
men have been wounded, |, Jas, 5000 of
them crippled for life. There are al
most 100000 dead, and an equal num-
Der taken captive.
The total number of men wounded,
slain and taken captive is given as g.
1865, 500. This for period of only sew
en- months! 1t is roughly estimated
that there are some 100000 armed
men ranged on both sides of the
trenches, including the allies and the
forces under the kaiser. Since this
canvas was taken another three
months have elapsed. Figuring on
the same basis as given in the table
would bring the total number in slain
captured and wounded to half the
total number involved

AFTER THE WAR-wHAT?
BY Prof. Walter Rau.ehenbusch

After the war the belligerent ma
tions will all be desperately poor
They will look about to find taxable
property from which to wiring the In
terest on the war debts and the money
needed to repair the ravages of war
Some will move further in the direc
ton Of government monopolies in or
der to make money to fill the ex
chequer-m of tobacco, sugar
matches, liquor, etc. All are likely to
get on the trail Of the unearned In
crement in land values and other un'
earned incomes. Inheritance taxes
will be graduated more steeply. Such
obvious methods Of raising national
funds were readily warded off in by.
gone times, but with strong Socialist
parties in all parliaments and good
deal Of economic education in the
heads of the masses, that may not be
so easy any more.
In a way Socialists can be we'll sat.
isfied to have the capitalistic class
state inaugurate these constitutional
changes. Some coercion would be in.
evitable in such transition, and II
the change had to be made under the
Socialist regime, the odium would fall
on Socialism.
The prophecy has been freely made
that despotism will be overthrow at
the end of the war, and that the com.
mon people will gain in political free
dom. I should be glad of it, but !
doubt IL 1t will work out that way
War always results in tightening OF
centralized authority, and the creation
of strong" governments. Political
democracy may have great setback
because it is inefficient and sloven.
ly. On the other hand, public owner
ship and management is likely to get
a big boost by the war and ultimately
this will serve political democracy.
For the present, every nation will
prove its political efficiency by the
promptness with which it pushes pro-
fit-makers aside and helps the people
to produce directly for their own con-
sumption. Any nation which cannot
accomplish that proves that it is still
under the effective control of it's com.
mercial oligarchy.
