through an amendment for nifty, In
publicans of the House late yesterday

for aeronautics from $2.000,00O to 49,
A few Democrats Joined with the
minority and made possible the adop-
fought by Chairman Padgett and
other majority members OF the House
Naval Affairs Committee.
The Democrats will have an oppor-
tunity to force a separate roll call on
the aeronautics amendment when the
naval budget goes on final passage
tomorrow afternoon, but IL Is prob
able that this last hour stand will not
be made and that the Democrats will
yield to the victory gained by the mi
nority during the debate on the bill.
BY Vote of 129 to 103.
The amendment for s3.500,00o for
aeronautics was proposed by Con-
gresham Ernest w. Roberts OF Mas

Council, wherein is given the findings
Of n committee ofvnquiry into the al

allegations were found to be true.
Also, the secretary of the committee
was discharged from his employment
there for his activity in the matter.
And our old friend Lord Miner,
and his friends, says that they are re-
solved to keep compulsory military

Which all goes to prove that pledges

and that the only way to gain and
maintain even modcum of freedom
is to organize and fight for with

ers-that-be apparently believe in the
old maxim that "alla fair in love and

About this war business. 1t is diff
ficult to understand how any fair
minded individual can deny the state
ment that those who are called upon
to fight wars should have their full
share in the starting of them, in their
conduct, and in their conduct, and in
their conclusion. 1t is only just that
those who pay the piper should call
the tune. OF course in the event of
such a stage of higher culture being
reached, it is self-evident that there
would be no war, as it is largely those
who are exempt from the firing line
who are the loudest war clamorers.
In the meantime to prevent the ma

leave these matters in the hands of
diplomats, high finance and large
business.

the United States Navy league, has

World empire is the only logical and
natural aim of a nation"

The cost of paper continues to rise
and there is no end in sight and it is
even reported that paper will soon be

able to keep the old craft going.

WILSONISMS

Some people have got the idea into
their heads that Wilson is a second
Jesus Christ. Every once in a while
we run up against somebody who tells
US what Wilson has done for THE
PEOPLE. But when we ask them for
a concrete illustration, it is not forth
coming.
All that Wilson or the Democrats
have done is on paper.
Wages are practically the same as
four years ago, but the cost of living
is higher. Yet the Wilsonites do not
see it. They are so imbued with the
tales that have been scattered broad
cast that they really think Wilson is
a great man.
Wilson is a DANGEROUS man be-
cause almost all the legislation that
has been passed has strings to it. He
is a man that the Wall St. gang is
only too willing to support and hav-
ing worked hand in glove with him
for four years they are willing and
anxious to have him for another four
and the Dubbs will see to it that they
do.

like to make it more but that is our

POLITICAL SAVIORS WHO
WILL KEEP US OUT OF WAR"

kept peace in Europe. People who al
most worshipped him then as the
peaccmaker par excellence are now
curslug him by all their gods as the
destroyer Of peace and deliberate TO
menter of war.
If he had died in 1913, or before
August, 1914, his successor, the Crown
Prince, would have been the recipient
of the curses his father is now recev-
ing, and thousands Of publicists would
have conclusively shown that the war
resulted only because the son depart
ed from the peace-loving and peace
preserving characteristics ant policy
of his father. William would have
preserved his peace halo untarnished
The individual who really believes
that Wilson, Hughes, or any other
man can keep us out of war is moth
ing more than the ordinary fool who
is the ordinary prey Of the capitalist
politician, who catches him through
his political superstitions.
No Socialist would for one moment
make the claim that Benson could
keep the country out of war" No
Socialist votes for Benson under that
misrepresentation. But he knows that
Socialism, when fully realized, can
keep us out of war, while capitalism
is always just as likely as not to
plunge us into it.
Those who see nothing but Will
son or Hughes as a preservative
against war are in reality leaving
themselves defenseless against it,
through knowing nothing of the eco
nomic system under which both work,
and which either will equally serve if

YOU HAVE NO ONE TO THANK
FOR WHAT YOU GET YOURSELF

There are throughout the country
some thousands of workers who are
inclined to vote for the Democratic
ticket because they feel that they
should do so in order to express their
appreciation for certain things which
they THINK the Democratic party
has done for them.
Nothing could be more unnecessary
The Democratic party has not given
the working people of this country
anything. And you do not have to
express appreciation to people when
you owe them nothing.
If the workers have got anything
in the way of legislation in the last
four years, they have got it because
they had strength enough to take it,
and not because there were kind
hearted gentlemen in Congress who
wished to give them something.
The gentlemen who have been in
Washington have been much the
same as the gentlemen who have been
there before. The difference is
wholly in the fact that THEY HAVE
BEEN DRIVEN HARDER.
The next Congress, no matter what
may be the complexion of it's majority
will be driven even harder than the
last one was. That is the only way
ANY Congress, except really work
ing class Congressman be got to dc
anything in the way of advance.
If we have to first drive then thank
those who have been driven we shall
get soon to a point where all of our
energies will be expended in the Civ
ing of thanks, and we shall be unable
to drive.
The thing to do is to KEEP ON
DRIVING and thank nobody but the
