Many Brattleboro people will be
glad to know that Road Commissioner
Walker is looking into the brick pave
ment proposition with view to
gathering information on the cost of
this form of permanent road work.
Such information ought to be placed
before the voters long enough before
town meeting to allow them to form
an opinion as to what action should be
taken at that time relative TO paving
Main street. In this connection il is
interesting to note that the city of
Rutland is now putting in a strip of
yitrified brick laid in cement, after
experimenting unfavorably with other
forms of so-called permanent surface.

Probably the Connecticut River
Power company could find no better
route for its high tension line than up
Vernon street, but the poles which car
ry this line are anything but an at
tractive feature of that section OF
the town which is coming in for such
improvement with the building of the
new passenger station If the wires
only could have been allowed to follow
the river bank, as they did while the
work of lowering Vernon street was
in progress, the public would have been
much better suited and probably fully
as safe from danger.

One reason for the existence of this
feeling of doubt may probably be
found in that portion of Mr.. Barber S
statement relative to the proposed To-
cation of the building he says he is
going to put up. Had he said simply
that he intended to build on front
age to be determined by what action
the town might take there would be
ground for believing that ne was ready
to meet the question in a spirit tenn
pered by regard for the public wei

that his new building will not only
cover all the land occupied by the old
ones but considerable portion of

MARROW ESCAPE FROM SNOW
 SLIDE

Yesterday afternoon W. A. Hesse, deputy mineral surveyor, and three
 members of his party, had a narrow escape from being buried in a snow slide, while surveying for patent a group of claims on Fleming's Spit. They were ascending the Katalla Breakwater claim, and had reached a height of 2,2OO feet, when a big slide occurred, hurling the men in all di- rections. They had been three hours in wallowing through the snow to sRcfr-tthat point and when the slide came two of the men were completely buried. Mr. Hesse and his transit were also covered up, but he soon succeeded in extricating himself and went to the rescue of the three other men. After working for some time he succeeded in uncovering them, and fortunately all escaped without in jury, but were naturally badly scared

STIRRING DAYS
FOR LIVING MEN
(By Eugene v. Debs.)

These are stirring times for living
men. The day of crisis is drawing near
and the Socialists are exerting all
their power to prepare the people
for it.
The old order of society can survive
but little longer. Socialism is next in
order. The swelling minority sounds
warning of the impending change.
Soon that minority will become the
majority and then will come the CO.
operative commonwealth.
Every working man should rally
to the standard of his class and hast
en- the full-orbed day of freedom.
Every sympathizer of labor, every
friend of justice, every lover of hui
manity, should support the Socialist
party as the only party that is organ
lied to abolish industrial slavery, the
prolific source of the frightful evils
that afflict the people.
Classes and class rule and their at
tendant progress and poverty, money
and misery, turmoil and strife, are in
herent in the capitalist system. Why?
Simply, because one set of men owns
the tools by which wealth is produced
while another set uses them, and
there is an irrepressible conflict over
the division of the product.
The capitalist owns the tools he
does not use; the worker uses the
tools he does not own. The principal
tools of production and distribution in
the United States-mammoth ma
chimes, complex social instruments,
made and used comparatively by mill
ions of workingmen, their very lives
and wives and babes being depend
ent upon them-are the property of
few hundred capitalists, and are OPP
Grated purely to make profits for
these capitalists, regardless of the
poverty and wretchedness that ensue
to the masses.

The records of the 18th census of
the United States show that land

others to live in New York.

wouLo-eE CENSOR LOSES OUT

Commissioner Salter's opposition to
a local board of censors, with Clay
and Kelly both against him, has been
sustained by so overwhelming a popu-
lar straw vote that Chief of Police
Kelly had to back down. Mayor Clay
stuck out for the purient prudes to the
last, but finally the council agreed to
constitute themselves local board OF
censors. Thus endeth the first at
tempt at Blue Laws in progressive

The conclusion was reached Tues
day and the city attorney instructed

and will not pose as experts, taking

AXE common proletary lot with US.
"PraoteaI Politics"
Not tho least source Of politician
mischief-makers among us are the
political camps of the capitalist par
ties. They are the muzzled pork
hunters and lame ducks-the minor
political game. Denied seats at the
grlmy table they turn to us, quickly
pregnant with desire for office. With
his mind whetted and keen-edged in
practical politics" he sets to work
at once to show us "how to win" to
denature our program so that it will
be palatable to the middle class. Be
ware of this. Should Socialism be-
come acceptable to the bourgeose its
usefulness to workers will be at an
end. To my mind the process has al
ready reached the danger point. There
Is one unfailing sign by which this
particular breed may be known. He
Is In evidence only when there may
be something in 1t for him. He be-
comes active only around election
time, and then he talks, votes, vites,
votes increasingly. He is full of inter
esting statistics about the votes in
previous elections. If he is nomi-
nee, we are bound to win. II not he
has doubts about 1t and can tell you
why. When the smoke of the election
has cleared his breed vanish like coy
otes before n spangled sunrise. Just
often enough to keep in good stand
Ing he sees the secretary and pays
his dues--and many excuses.
The Self-Seeker
! Last and saddest of all, our own
movement develops pernicious type
OF politician. He disrupts, quarrels,
destroys, confuses and fosters dis
trust He develops an aggressive fac
ton and becomes its leader He
loses sight OF the common enemy and
merely combats his comrades He is
long on attendance at the meetings,
but short on distributing literature
and getting subs for the Socialist
papers. He generally knows the par
ty constitution to tee, and can quote
1t right off the bat Just like that The
very surest of all signs by which he
may be known Is that he is proud of
his personal parliamentary agility.
His mind Is set to handspring trig-
ger when 1t comes to that and he
pops a point of order on the most
negligible occasion. He Is never so
happy as when engaged in a debate
over nothing. knowledge of these
things Is most desirable thing, but
the genuine Socialist will use them
with due sense of proportion.
| Over the whole matter l should say
that the political Socialist as distin-
guished from the Socialist politician
Is the comrade worth while who can
readily take a rank and file position
and who gladly does the common
work of the revolution.

How We May Know Them.
AS the Socialist movement ap-
proaches It's historic achievement we
are pestered more and more with his

are the ministry and the legal profess
sion. do not mean this parallel to be
all-inclusive. There are notable excep-
tons both In and out OF It's hypotheti.
cal terms. Both these callings are on
the run. Most people have really come
to regard then both less than burg
!ars. Slowly, painfully, they are los
| ing their erstwhile usefulness to cap
italism. The capitalists, with keen
sense OF what is worth while to them,
are rewarding these worthless less and
less. and turn more and more to the
ments and castle walls. AS the grass
grows shorter for the preacher and
Lawyer, they look with longing eyes
at the Socialist meadows for new
pasturage. They both come into our
movement with vicarious psychol-
ogy. They desire to save u.s." In
wardly neither thinks we can ever,
ever save ourselves. One is an inter-
mediary at a mythical throne Of grace
and the other wishes to continue a 60

own building. The one wishes above
all that we keep our enraptured gaze
upon gates above-the other that we
continue to rear imposing judicial
Joss-houses on earth. Neither will
ever be willing, that for the good of
mankind, we forget his particular

THEY SHOT AT YOU"

Comrade Mary l., Gems, of Colorado,
gave a stirring description of the Lud-
low massacre In the course Of an e!o-
quent speech at Socialist hall last Sun
day afternoon. In view of the APP
preaching anniversary of Co,orado's
Shame Day--the Ludlow massacre OF
April 20, l9i4-the Socialists of Ever
cit were particularly fortunate in
having for their speaker a woman who
was almost an eyewitness of the terri
be scenes she described; for Mrs.
Geffs knows personally the survivors
of that fateful day when helpless
mothers and children, newborn ard
unborn babes, were shot or roasted by
the Colorado state militia, under the
protective CD folds of Old Glory.
As Comrade Gems has promised to
write for the Washington Socialist of
some of the things she learned at first
hand from survivors, we shall not at
tempt to repeat here the awful story
OF April 20, 1914. Moreover, we are
printing this week several contribu-
tons in memory of stricken Ludlow.
We WISH to say here, however, that
we have only congratulations to offer
State Secretary Katterfeld for bring
ing into Washington so able a teacher
and stirring propaganda as Mary l..
GETS. Long may her glowing oratory
burn the message of Socialism
into the hearts of men and women.

And the votes are heaping up, too.
Some of the comrades have already

to build the garage-for the automo-
bile to be won April 21st Other COM
rades are hustling to sell 81 coupons
to friends, thinking it best to help
Mrs. Hodgins win the car before build
ing the garage. Get wise, get busy,

leave headquarters every night just
before o'clock, for either the Grand
or the Princess.

THE EXPORT FAKE

Think of the workingmen pointing
to the long list of exports and rejoic-
ing because the products of their toll
are being sold abroad to enrich the
capitalist class! AS Socialists we
protest in behalf of the thousands of
unfed, half-clothed and homeless
workers against such policy and
necessity. What we want is that
the goods produced by labor should go
to labor Socialism would secure to
the laboring class this wealth. 1t
would inaugurate a system wherein
opportunity to labor would secure to
all and where the product would be
kept by those who produce it.-Charles
Fl. Vail.

The necessity under capitalism of a
woman first looking for home and

husks remaining.-Memphis Demo
