 PLATFORMS

There is an old phrase that the pur- pose of language is to conceal thought. This used to be applied principally to diplomatists It fits the builders of political platforms even better.
 Some consummate artists in word twisting are always lined up for the high sounding blanks which may catch votes of those specially interested, yet offend no one. No national platform is usually considered complete without references to non-politica1 questions.
 On vital issues, the common method is to straddIe. It is customary to demand a low tariff on the necessa- ries of life, yet also demand that the workmen making those .1ecessaries be shielded from foreign competition. Or dinariIy this kind of thing goes pret- tyl well. But occasionally the people get worked up on. a certain question, and. demand a positive expression.
 :. To discriminating students of poI- tics, platforms are not as meaningless as they seem. They may be sur rounded by masses of verbiage. The carefully balanced phrases may be aimed to please all factions if possible But by comparing the declarations with those of previous years, differ ences of statements and emphasis can be found. It is usually seen that either A declaration has grown more positive. indicating a. growth of pub
 lie sentiment, or that it has become
 more evasive, indicating the subject
 has dropped out of popular interest. | If the politicians could see them lselves as others see them, they would write few stradd1es. The majority of people are soutspoken and like their public mon to be so. A double faced
 statement disgusts many and p1eases few. If they can't be positive, it is better to be silent.

Stevenson, Wash, Aug. 20, 1876.
Mr.. Emil Herman:
Dear Sir and Comrade: l am now
writing for a Katterfeld date to be
any time in October, or we will even
be pleased to have Comrade Katter-
field at any time between now and
election day. Ulonska has broken the
ice and created great interest among
the people here, and / am following
up with Benson's leaflets, and we
want Katterfeld to put on the "cap
sheaf"; then we will sure have things
coming our way. The people here who
heard Ulonska think him a wonder;
about seventy attended the lecture.
The collection was good and the liter
ature went like hot cakes.
Yours for a Katterfeld date and
Socialism,

DON'T TRUST THE TRUSTS.

IF THE MEAT TRUST wishes to
raise the price of meat it doesen't con-
suit you. If the steel trust chooses to
boost the price of machinery you have
nothing to say about it. If the sugar
trust takes the sweetness from your
life through raise in rates, you calmly
submit. You may vote once a year,
but that doesen't effect matters. You
keep on submitting. Suppose that
in addition to voting, you were to CO.
operate with other workers and make
one machine serve a dozen of you, CO.
operate with other workers and pro-
duce your own sugar and molasses,
that would be self help and amount to
something. If enough of you were to
do this, the trusts would be brought to
time. Why not "help yourselves?

DRUGGISTS
Local Medical Lake.

Through the secretary D. M. Speare
sent in S4.55 to the filing fund last
week and report that in addition to
this they are contributing to the ma
tional campaign fund and will circu-
late 300 per week of the Benson leaf
let's during the campaign. Our candi-
date for governor, L. f. Katerfeld,
will lecture there on the tissues of
the Campaign" on Sept. 20. The rea-
son this Local can undertake so many
things at one time is because it's mem
bers are capable and not afraid to
work.
Late in Sept. or Early in October
w. r. Snow will be available for a
few lectures along the Washington
Idaho border. Locals and M. A. LIS
in Eastern Washington who wish to
have him deliver his lecture on GLOW
to Abolish War" may send their appli-
cations to this office now. Terms are
six dollars flat. Comrade Snow is
well known to the Socialists of Wash
ington, having twice toured the state
in the interest of the Socialist Party.
]. G. Layman of Port Angeles Writes
"Katterfeld spoke here last night
to a fair sized crowd, approximate
ly two hundred. 1t was the clearest
explanation of the class struggle and
the necessity of working class organi-
cation / have ever heard. If all the
voters in this state could hear the
message he delivered here, we would
carry the state hands down, but that's
where the hell comes in; we tried our
level best here but couldn't get them
out" Katterfeld is still available for
a few more dates in Eastern and
Southwestern Washington and along
the Columbia River between Pasco
and Vancouver, Wash.
Many names have been stricken
from the Party Builder sub list. If
you were a subscriber and did not re-
new you will know that is the reason
you do not receive the September
number and will not again receive the
paper until you do subscribe.

The Idaho Paper.

Up to the present time we haven't
received single subscription to the
Idaho edition Of the Northwest Work
err. We know however that many
locals are working on the plan and that
at lest some of them will do their part.
They cannot make success of it tho
unless they have help from the other
locals. There is no doubt but you all
want to see an Idaho paper. But if
we have it, we must help to get it.
The time limit of the trial will be up
on the goth of September and if at
that time there are not enough sub
scribers we will be forced to let the
matter drop for the present at least.
WEAR YOUR BUTTON -
Monthly Reports
We are hoping that we will get
monthly reports from all the locals
this month. If we do we can show
a membership of more than a thous-
and. Comrade secretary this is your
most important duty. We request
that you make a report for the month
of August and send it to this office.
WEAR YOUR BUTTON -
Members At Large.
Although the campaign for mem
bers at Large has been out short
time we are beginning to feel that it
will be a success. Comrade Snow has
sent in 1S new members and the state
secretary succeeded in securing two
making total of twenty received dur
ing the week ending August Goth. We
already have al Members at Large,
and this will make Ga. If every mem
Der will push this work and resolve
that they will get at least one member
we will run far over $50 Members at

would like to have it back however in
week or so, as l want to send it to
the National Office. Since have
seen the results here in Pocatello, /
believe the suggestion should be made
to every local in the country, to use
similar bulletins. 1t not only starts
the thought germs working in the
Dubbs who read it, but it creates a
vast amount of enthusiasm in the local
members.
Along the same lines, l will say that
| think the Idaho Party Builder" is
the finest thing I've seen emanate
from the State Office. 1t certainly is
an ideal method of getting the month
ly bulletin before the membership, and
also for the propagation of new ideas.
Every member should submit plans
and ideas for this sheet as well as
furnish local news each month. 1t can
surely be built into a powerful organ
of good. Keep it up.
Local Pocatello has nice large
room now, in which it and the Scand-
inavian Branch meet, and which is
used as reading room during the
week days. There certainly is more
activity in Pocatello than at any time
in the last three years.
Comrade Snow was here for three
meetings the first of the week and we
enjoyed his stay and work very much.
He is fine and did US much good. He
had one small encounter with a police

interfere with free speech, but came
