THE POWERS OF EUROPE AND DR. WAITE

Millions of US shudder in horror at
the thought of the terrible bloodshed
and carnage taking place on the bat
tlefields of Europe-in the regions of
real hell itself-where the toilers are
being led to slaughter, in legions, like
sheep and cattle to the slaughter
pens.
This terrible reign of He'll in capital
ridden Europe is not "A struggle on the
part of any Of the powers to maintain
or to achieve any principle of justice
or Christian ethics; it is a struggle, as
is becoming generally recognized, for
commercial upremacy-material gain
and personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
wish to compare the murder case
of DR.. Waite with that of the ruling
classes wholesale murder of the work
ers in Europe. "But," you may say,
"the working people of Europe are
numbering each other" Yes, very
true; but they are doing it as mere
machines-at the instigation of large
commercial interests that control the
governments. These working people
are the tools being used like the very
guns and battleships themselves, as
the good soldier never thinks. Neither
do the guns and the battleships think;
they obey to the touch of command.
Those soldiers in Europe were
taught to fight for "their country,
right or wrong-taught from infancy
with tin soldiers and through youth
with military histories in the schools,
the idea of hero worship.
"But," you may say, "why do you
compare DR.. Waite's case with that
terrible European war;" / compare
them for the reason that DR.. Waite's
motive for numbering his wife's par
ents were for material gain; he want

HERALD AGAIN FLIP-FLOPS
Spurious Seattle Publication Failing in "NOn-
Partisan" Venture, Seeks to Blk
Socialists Again

they were the whole thing, but toward
its conclusion when there was a move
to can the whole caboodle, he con
fronted them with the fiat that it
couldn't be done; the meeting was not
for that purpose, you know. At an
other time when suddenly confronted
with slight discrepancy between his
two reports on January 1st and now
amounting to $1,000 or $500 in the
corporations resources, did Josey not
falter? He did not. He came back
quick with the statement that he for
merly carried certain large item on
his books as an asset but had since
transferred it to the liability column.
Nothing simpler than that. Could
Josey change water into wine? He
could. And you really couldn't see
anything concealed about him. You
saw the little smiling bean, but when
you lifted the shell it wasn't there.
Many persons, stockholders, confront
ed him with statements and actions
of his on previous occasions; one to
the effect that the Herald owed him
SO 900 and whichever way he went the
Herald had to go. Did they hit the
nigger's head in the canvass sheet :?
Nary hit.
Joking aside, the fact is the Herald
has never been Socialist paper, al
though carrying on its swindling OPP
erations for time in the name of So
cialism. 1t originated in the yellow
secession of 1912, conceived in treason
and nurtured in fraud to this good
day, it has never really changed its
purpose to confuse, obstruct and de-
fleet working class effort if possible,
and it possesses just that power and
none other at this time 1t did not
change its purposes when it became
the organ of the partisan" fizzle;
just changed it's pretenses. 1t is not
changing its purposes now; just
changing its pretenses under sore fl
nancial need. Many sincere and well
meaning Socialists have been roped
into it who could i'll afford to lose ten,
fifty or a hundred dollars, but it's
dominant group of stockholders is now
and always has been non-Marxian.
Presently they will appeal to So
cialsts throughout the state for aid,
perhaps first changing the name.
They may get out red-hot Socialist
paper for few issues, but don't be
deceived. | confess that it looks now
that many of the stung are willing to
be stung again and for such a fool
sympathy is wasted.
1t is not deserving of the support
or friendship of Socialists.

style much superior to that of the
productive worker.
Then there are the various compel
ing distributing agencies, jobbers,
wholesalers and retailers, each with
their army of clerks, stenographers,
statesmen, etc. There is no reason why
in a rational society where the carry
ing on of industry is the collective
concern of all, that all this waste
should not be eliminated and the fin
ished products carried directly from
the place of manufacture to the place
where it is to be consumed.
There is a vast number of lawyers,
some of whom rank out a precarious
living and some a fat living out of
civil suits over property rights that
would disappear were productive cap
ital the collective property of society
as a whole.
There is a superfluous number of
physicians. A few thousand efficient
ly trained public health workers work
ing to prevent disease would do more
to conserve the health of the race
than all the hordes of competing med
ical men that are turned out in such
numbers each year from our medical
schools that high fees are necessary
to secure them a livelihood and the
less successful are forced to resort to
questionable practices in order to
make both ends meet.
Socialism, that is the cooperative
ownership and management of indus
try, will come because it is a more
efficient, less wasteful method OF
producing than the present competi-
tive system; because it will insure tc
the human race more leisure from
toll, more comforts and enjoyments
more health, more happiness, and ar
opportunity for all to develop to the
highest point whatever of talents OF
of genius nature may have endowed
them with.

There you have it straight from
your Uncle Sam. Industrial life in
our great free land of America holds
out no hopes for anything but uncer-
tain jobs, strikes, lay-offs, sickness;
same old monotonous, tiresome grind
day after day; stuffy, gloomy unin-
teresting work place; no chance to
save dollar and finally old age, or
physical incapacity, thrown out on the
scrap heap to die in pauper's home,
and be buried in the potter's field;
while the loafer in the navy is taken
care of, pay goes on all the time doc
tor and hospital care free, lives the
healthful outdoor life, sees the world
and at retirement goes on the pension
roll for life
How do you like the contrast, Mr.
Workingman You produce the
means whereby the millions live in
comfort. Your hands supply all the
boosted benefits of civilization. You
create everything there is. The navy
loafer produces nothing, but consumes
the products of your labor He
spends his life doing nothing but pre-
pairing to kill. Your life is wholly
constructive. His is wholly destruc-
tive. He is living off your labor and
training for what all mankind regards
as the greatest evil on earth today
war. A thing without the slightest
shadow of justification among civil
lied peoples.
Remember this arraignment of the
workingman's abuses, this exposition
of his sorry plight is not the mad
vaporings of some crack-brained So
cialist. 1t is not the mouthings of
the reformer Not at all. It's the
calm, judicial summing up of the in
dustrial situation by the highest au-
thority in the land-the United States
government, The government knows
what it is talking about. 1t has in its
archives the records of all the inves-
LEGATIONS into wages and cost of liv-
ing and economic standing of every
working man in the country. 1t gets
it's figures first hand. 1t cannot be
deceived. These are facts.
| Now what are you going to do about

WHY SUFEER2

Yes, that's the point Why suffer?
Why get up in the morning stiff and
sore ? Why walk around in agony?
Why have a disordered stomach ?
Why be bothered with your kidneys
when expert attention to these trou-
bles will enable you to go around in
the best of health and spirits? Don't
Delay! If you suffer from Rheuma-
tlsm, Stiff Joints, Nervousness, Par
alysls, Stomach or Kidney Trouble,
consult DR.. D. Feldman, who has an
office and private sanitarium at 1923
Lombard Ave, Everett. No charge
will be made for consultation.

POLICE WOUND EIGHTEEN
WOMEN IN FOOD RIOT

Eighteen women were wounded in
an attack of police upon a meeting of
housewives protesting against food
prices at Frankfort he-Main.
Shortage of meat and the rising
prices are supposed to have started
vigorous language, whereupon dem
onstration began, and women, singing
and shouting, marched through the
streets. Police attempted to confiscate
meat which the women had seized
during their march, but one was ar
rested.

SOMETHING TO KNOW

The judge who sentenced the lead
ers of the striking machinists of
Clyde, Scotland, recently and had the
local labor paper suppressed because
of personal criticism, is a large stock
holder in the Vickers, Ltd, Company,
which is one of the principal suffer
ers from the strike This is some of
that English justice sometimes spoken
of so highly in America.

IDLENESS PAYS BETTER THAN INDUSTRY

TURE holds out for you; then, learn
what the navy offers you. Check up
each and every item in the two COL
umns which follow; compare each
item in the Civil Life column with the
opposite item in the Navy column
then judge which column sums up
higher.

it? This is your problem. This is
your government. You make the laws
and you prescribe the conditions I'M
der which you shall labor. If you
don't like it, don't blame the govern
ment, don't blame the employers, don't
blame the capitalistic masters. They
have no power save that which you
give them. Every time a workingman
strikes for better conditions it isn't a
plute or capitalist that drives him
back to work at the bayonet's point,
but some other workingman.
You don't know what to do? Well,
the Socialists do. They are the only
ones in this country who have a pro-
gram that will forever put an end to
such exploitation and abuse of the
workers. They have a plan for put
ting the reins of power where they be-
long-in the hands Of the workers..
Every time Socialist casts his vote
for Socialism he is bringing nearer
the dawn of the emancipation of all
workers. Every time you cast your
vote for any other ticket, you are
helping to prolong your own miserable
condition. If you like things as the
navy advertisement describes, vote
your old party tickets. If you want
a change for your life and your chill
dren's lives, vote this year for So
CIALISM.

Pershing Probing Report.

Renewed reports have been re
ceived in Juarez by Brigadier Gel
eral John J. Pershing that Fran
cisco Villa Is dead and buried.
These reports are under investiga
ton. Meanwhile, the hunt for the
Villa bandits is proceeding with re
newed vigor.
Mexicans who saw Villa on his flight
south said he looked thin and amaci
ated a week ago. One fairly good
authority, on the other hand, said
Villa was able to walk the first da.
after he received his wound, which
indicated no bones we're broken.
1t is again reported that Pablo Lo
PEI, the Villa lieutenant who murdered
seventeen Americans last January at
Santa ISABEL, is not dead, but is seri.
ously wounded. Reports of friendly
cooperation of the Carranza troop
continue.

ITO HE'LL WITH FLAG"

Mayor Starts Inquiry Into Speech by
James H.. Maurer, of Reading, Pa.
The attack on the flag made by
James H. Maurer, president of the
Pennsylvania State Federation OF
Labor, in a speech before the Labor
Forum at Washington Irving High
school, in New York, Sunday night, is
to be made the subject of an official
investigation and may result in the
prosecution of the offender. In the
course of his address Maurer shouted
ITO hell with the Stars and Stripes"
The initiative in the movement tc
investigate was taken by Mayor Mitch
ell.
That a speech containing such a
reasonable utterance should be per
mitted in n of the public schools
of the city gave rise to a storm of
indignation. At the hour In which
Maurer was speaking, DR.. Edmund
