IT'S POVERTY THAT Ais
THE POOR

"The curse of the poor is their pow
erty" is favorite expression of Ber-
nard Shaw's, and he has good biblical
authority for his text. 1t is one of the
truths that is hardest for the wilfully
blind to see.
The curse of the poor is their i'm
providence" the banker writes upon
a card to be displayed in the street
cars. Then he orders another auto
mobile, and tries to make the white
lights burn red until the bank breaks
and the savings of labor are gone.
THE curse of the poor is intemper-
ance" cries the fanatic, counting the
glasses of beer of the worker and
shutting his eyes to the bottles of
champagne of the exploiter.
"The poor suffer because of their
laziness," Tolls the fat preacher of
platitudes as he sinks back into his
upholstered chair at the club.
But it is not because the poor are
improvident or Incorporate or lazy
but because they are poor that they
suffer. They are poor not because OF
the pennies they fail to save from the
pittance they get, but because of the
dollars they do not get from the plenty
they produce.
Wealth does not come from the
industrious, 1t is the workers in every
land who are poor.
Poverty is the father and mother
Of crime and misery and degradation
in every form. Yet the only move
ment that dares to strike at poverty
| is Observation-Disclosures Leader.

SAYS DIRECTORS

Amos Pinchot Tells Commission of
Absentee Directors in Jersey Case

The Liebig and Williams & Clark
plants at Roosevelt are subsidiaries of
the American Agricultural Chemical
company, an enormous corporation in
corporated under the laws of Connec-
ticut. The chairman of the board of
directors lives in Boston. The vice
presidents live in New York, New
Jersey and Cleveland, and the direc.
tors are scattered all over the country.
One of them, A. B. Hepburn, is a di-
rector of the Rockefeller foundation.
Last October the directors inform.
ed the local superintendent, whom |
know, and who / believe is an intel
ligent and decent man, that wages
would be cut 20 per cent. In January
the employees decided that they could
not continue to support their families
on SLIGO a day. They struck, and
next day, in order to protect the prop
erty of the company, 100 gunner were
sent for and sworn in as deputy
sheriffs.
The result of the importation Of
these gunner in Jersey was the same
as that of Mr.. Welborn's importation

REAC THO N !!
SIX SENATORS UNITE TO
URGE DEATH PENALTY

Last Monday six doughty preservers
of life and property at Olympia, one
trembling with feeling" introduced a
bill to restore capital punishment for
the crime of murder. The six solons
nay, Drakos-framed the bill Sun
day evening after reading some head
lines in the Seattle Crimes" telling
of the murder of Angelo Bianchi, of
Bayne, King county. The senators
joining with the Hon. Sharpstein in
the introduction of the bill were
Palmer, Mcclure, Nichols, Phipps and
Boner
81 am not much in favor of renew
ing questions which are disposed of
by one Legislature after a full dis
cussion," said Senator Sharpstein on
the floor of the senate, "but / am
moved, and so are those who join me
in presenting this bill, to do so by
the great frequency with which there
appear in the papers of this state,
since the legislature of 1913 abolished
the death penalty for murder, head
lines like these in the Seattle Times
of yesterday which hold in my hands,
so that we may get back to the times
when things like this do not happen
every week."
The fact that things like this" hap
pen no more frequently now than dur
ing "the times" when men were slow
ly strangled to death by bunglng
bangmen, in cold blood, at Walla
Walla, was not permitted to embar-
rass the senator trembling with feel
ing" The further fact that murders
are committed in Chicago and New
York, with the gallows and electric
chair still operative, for less than $40
per victim was also tremblingly ig-
nored by these sagacious CD Drakos.
Incidentally, let it be remarked that
while this reactionary senate is tremb-
lingly solicitous of the life of any one
having goods and chattels in taxable
quantities, it is doing absolutely moth
ing to remove the evil conditions
which make murder for $40 worth the
risk and infamy.

THE PHILANTHROPY OF THE
POOR

Recently a reporter was sent into a
tenement district to secure some
photographs In one of the three.
room homes she visited she found a
young girl of about sixteen bending
over a machine. Near by sat an old
woman and n mother with three small
children, while a second girl busted
herself ut some household duty. The
girl left her machine to explain.
Il am married" she said; ut is not
good for girl to be alone in New
York. This" indicating the young
girl, us my sister My husband has
no work, neither can my sister find
any. The old woman has no home.
and she'-poining to the mother
her husband is in prison, so took
her and the children. | work for all
now. But when my baby comes-I do
not know-it is hard!"
There has been a great deal printed
about the philanthropy Of the rich:
we are tolerably familiar with the
names of various hospitals, colleges,
libraries, which have been given to
their fellowmen by the possessors
of great wealth But we hear very lit
tie of the philanthropy which involves
self-sacrifice-of the mother who in
addition to the care of her growing
family assumes that of the neighbor
who Is i'll; of the girl who shares her
one party dress with fellow-worker;
Of the man who time and again
Tends" his hard-earned savings to
some brother who needs assistance;
of the tenement family, not knowing
whence the next months rent is to
come, who yet welcomes to it's roof
and table the family which has been
evicted from the floor below.
And they do not require newspaper
paragraphs to urge them to well-doing
these philanthropists. They open
their hearts and purses at every ap-
peal. They give themselves simply
because they are so near to the pulse
of life that they respond involuntarily,
without reason, and they have no idea
that they deserve commentator.

A, One thing is sure, they can not
set their own price. AS to the land
on which the mill company have built
its shed, the company will have to pay
your price AS to the spur track,
which was presumably built by the
railway company, If the railway com
pany doesn't want to pay your price,
1t can condemn the right-of-way and
pay you what the court and jury deem
a reasonable price. You can make the
mill company pay rent for the time
the shed has been on your land. The
company has no right to take the

SOCIALIST PARTY FIRST
REGIMENT IN BLOODLESS
WAR FOR PEACE
BY GEORGE Il. KIRKPATRICK
Author Of "War- Whit For2"

Author of "War What For2"
The Socialist party is the vanguard
of the working class in its grand
march upward to freedom. The So
cialist party is the first regiment in
the silent and bloodless war for peace
armed with information and discus
sion instead of ignorance and dyna-
mite; armed with the printing press
and the ballot, instead OF the gatling
gun and the bullet. The Socialist
party Is boldly warning the WORKING
CLASS of the world against war
URGING THE WORKERS to RE
FUSE TO GO TO WAR.
Wars, modern wars--in almost ALL
cases-are between jealous groups of
the parasitic ruling class in their
swinish international scramble for ter
ritory, markets and profits In these
wars the workers cut their own throats
ignorantly shouting patriotism!
and wade in their own blood Ggnor-
antly shouting Patriotism while
the crafty capitalist class, at home,
safe and far from the firing line, clap
their soft hands together, wink know
ingly and cunningly shout "Patrio-
tism!"
In war the workers blood Is split,
the workers tears are despised the
workers children are orphaned. the
workers wives are widowed the
workers lives are robbed to pay war
taxes and war bonds and war bond in.
terest, the workers health Is blasted,
the workers become hobbling cripples
insulted with stingy petty pensions
while distinguished high salaried
judges (whose lives are never risked
where the cannon roar are fattened
on pensions of thousands per year.
In war the workers have nothing to
gain and all to lose. The workers are
learning these things well, very well.
The Socialists are striking these facts
of warning into the brains of the
working class in all parts of the world.
Indeed, even the best informed and
most distinguished ENEMIES OF the
Socialist party in all the world admit
that the Socialists are persistently and
effectively warning the working class
against war.
But the great war is the CLASS
war, the CLASS STRUGGLE-the war
between the capitalist employer class
and the wage-earning working class
between the exploiting class who OWN
the INDUSTRIAL FOUNDATIONS of
society and live on profits, and the
exploited class who productivity USE
the INDUSTRIAL FOUNDATIONS OF
society and live on .ages--the indus
trial war, in which the employers
struggle to force up the price of labor
power
THIS is THE FUNDAMENTAL.
WAR, the SOURCE of war, the war
without an end-while capitalism
lasts. In this war of clashing CLASS
interests other wars originate.
And in this struggle rises the So
cialist party-the political organiza.
ton of the working class, with which
the working class is cunningly Tin
telligently) Selling the political pow
ers of society, and thus legally get
ting into legal position for strategic
SELF-DEFENSE-to legally CON
troll the industrial foundations of
society for the benefit of all who are
willing to work-to give to all who are
willing to work EQUALITY OF OP-
PORTUNITY TO WORK, and to give
to every worker the value of his an.
pied labor power, undiminished by
rent, interest and profits.

NEIL ACCUSES CHARITIES o
HURTING PENSION LAW

Because organized charity needs
children who are destitute as exam
pies by which they can collect cash
for their disposal they had the moth
ers' pension law made invalid is the
claim of Henry Neil, who fostered the
bill.
"The charities have found that
they cannot successfully beg money
unless children are being ruined by
poverty, so the charities prevent good
mothers from getting pensions and
use the stories of distress to collect
money to pay their own salaries,
said Neil.
That III children were removed
from the care of their mothers, sep
arated from the parent and thrust
back into poverty by the amendment
forced into the mothers pension. bill
by organized charity is the claim of
those who favor the law.

DEAN NOT SCHUETTLER MAN
Several days ago man by the
name of John Dean. was questioned in
connection with the disappearance of
Albert Vasey. Gossip had it that he
was chauffeur for Second Deputy
Herman F. Schuettler. And as such
his occupation was given in two or
three papers, including The Day
Book. But gossip was wrong. Chief
Gleason has investigated and found
that Dean has never been connected
with the police department in any
way.

keeping the workers from demand
ing that they be paid a wage that will
give them the liberty and the money
to choose their own pursuits of hap
piness, but it is destroying their self
respect, it is making them beggars.
Never does a worker take the least
h thing given as charity by the bosses
: but the worker feels Inundated. Girls
who work in Kuppenheims', one of
the largest tailoring shops in the in
dustry, inWardly rebel at going to
that place on Milwaukee av., though
they are paying for it's maintenance,
and yet so much of their right to lib
erty have they lost that they dare not
refuse to accept that sO-called char
ity unless they wish to be out of en-
plOyment.
We have permitted this stupendous
fraud to exist too long. For the sake
of self-respect the workers should de-
mand that they be paid for their labor
what their labor is worth, take what
pleasure they can afford and laugh at
the personal touch" of the bosses
who cut wages 10 per cent and give
the workers welfare work"
