Human Freedom First.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-After long
experience with the Colorado law,
which prohibits workers from
striking until they give a state
commission 80 days notice. Or
ganizer Biggs of the Journeymen
Tailors' union expresses these pa
triotic sentiments in the official pa
per of that organization:
There Is a question of human
freedom involved in that Colorado
law and commission that can nail
the worker 20 his job for 30 DAYS
or 30 times 30 days, during which
the employer can get ready with
strikebreakers.
The law is administered in Col.
orado is crying injustice to al
who toll. No findings can com
pensate for the tyranny that can be
practiced under 1t. To allow such
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1916-08-11

a law to spread to other states
would be country wide calamity.
There Is no more important Is
sue confronting labor today than
this question of involuntary servi-
tude TO a capitalistie commission
VS.. human freedom and the right
to right our wrongs. All else Is of
lesser Importance. If we lose our
freedom we lose all. Let US not be
tempted by any bait of 'hndings
and award their findings are on
ly what we already know. Their
awards are simply recommendations
They can give the worker nothing,
but they can nail him to his job.
Already they have shown brazen
Indifference to the oath they took
to fairly administer the law They
will show their teeth in Colorado
and other states if we stand idly
by until they shall have united our
chains securely"

SOME IRISH COGNOMENS.
Meanings Attached to the Most Com
mon of the Surnames.

The fact is not generally known that
Ireland was the first country Ia mod
ern Europe to enforce the adoption of
surnames by law. The act prescribing
their general use was passed more than
a hundred years before the Anglo-Nor
man invasion, whereas surnames did
not come into general use In England
until the days Of Queen Elizabeth nor
In Wales till late in the seventeenth
century.
There are some interesting meanings
attaching to the most common of Irish
names, says the London Tit-Bits. Here
are a few with the curious changes of
spelling that have come about since the
names first originated:
Murphy came from O'Murphy, Nor.
phey and Morphew, meaning "superi.
or" Kelly came from O'Kelly, Kiely,
Kelley, meaning for war;" O'Connor
came from Connors, Conerty, meaning
helper" and Dougherty from O'Do-
herty, Doherty, Daughaday, meaning
destroyer" 1t Is noticeable that ali
Irish names at the first stage in their
history had 90" before them tho hrsi

ANOTHER REPLY
TO ELLA X. STONE

In reply to Comrade Ella Stones
suggestion to the Woman's Christian
Socialist League of Everett in the
Northwest Worker of Nov. Is, 1916
would like to say that we haven't the
same meaning Of the word Christian
Webster's Dictionary gives the defini-
ton of the word Christian as lone
who believes in Jesus Christ and tries
to live Christ like" Are we Socialists
not living Christ like when we live
and teach the principles of inteIna-
tional brotherhood?
Maybe Comrade Stone is such a
strong believer in Science that she
refuses to accept the fact that there
ever was a person called Jesus Christ
but that would not make it scientific
| would just as soon believe there
never was a Napoleon or a George
Washington.
John Burroughs, the naturalist
says: "Science knows Jesus Christ
as a great teacher and prophet anc
as the saviour of men," and all Chris
tians, regardless of creed or color, &C.
cept him as such; therefore the Chris
tian is really the true Socialist. You
say religion has tortured even unto
death scientists and are now engaged
in slaughtering each other in Europe
Can you find where Christ at any
time taught it was right to kill OF
torture. When the band of men anC
officers came for Christ, Simon Peter
having a sword, drew it and smote
the high priests servant; then said
Jesus, "Peter, put up thy sword"
Anyone who will kill or torture an
other is not living Christ like and
therefore is not a Christian. We
know there are many who call them
selves Christians that are not living
Christ like. We also know there are
some who claim to be Socialists who
are not, as the returns of the recent
election shows. We know there are
many Christians who are like chest
nuts, very pleasant nuts but enclosed
in very prickly burrs which need var
ious dealings of nature and her grip
of frost before the kernel is disclosed
and it's the comrades with your views
of Christianity who are making the
burrs so hard to burst. Try to be-
lieve me, dear comrade, when l say
you are hurting the cause you repre-
sent every time you say it is an i'm
possibility to be a Christian Socialist

SOCIALIST LEAGUE.

starts the ball rolling by making ap-
plication for charter on November
8, the day after election. Evidently
they realize the necessity of organi-
cation and are going to get on the fir
ing line. The application was signed
by seven persons. This makes five
charters granted by S. f. C. at its
meeting held November 10, and are as
follows Blackfoot, Higgins, Mont
pelier, Sweet Home and Berger,
The S. f. c. Met at the State Office
November 10 and transacted the reg
ular business of the organization. One
of the things that was discussed was
the plan for securing the Ford car
for organization and propaganda
work in the state during the next two
years. -Four new locals were charter
ed and eight persons were admitted
as members at large.

IDAHO GUARDS FACE ALL
WINTERS JOB ON BORDER

WASHINGTON.-Senator Borah,
after a conference with officials of
the war department, Saturday eX-
pressed the belief that the national
guardsmen now on tht Mexican Dor
der will be kept there for the re
mainder of the winter and possibly
longer, and, he added, it is his Opin-
ion that before they get home they
likely will see something more than
mere border patrol duty.
Senator Borah called at the de-
partment to file requests from moth
ers of members of the First Idaho ma
tional guard that their sons be re-
turned to their homes as speedily as
possible. He could get no assurance
whatever, but rather gathered the
impression indicated
Senator Borah's inference is in ac-
cord with belief growing in Wash
ington that the administration, hav-
ing "kept US out of war" long enough
to win reelection, is now preparing
to make an active move against Mex
leo, and his belief also bears out re-
ports, suppressed by the war depart
ment, that the Mexican situation is
daily growing worse instead of bet
ter.

The Election IL Over


and we are now frying to find out the
results. Socialist. everywhere are
scanning ihr columns Of In. capital
list papers eagerly absorbing every
little mention of socialis! election
that happens to remain in the screen
after it has been sifted. We should
realize now more than at any other
time that we must support our own
press. Had we had an Idaho paper
we would have had our comrades
ready to send in the news of the cleo
tons and could have given it to the
comrades accurately. Some of our pa
pcrs are having Il hard time to keep
going, and it is the duty of every loyal
socialist to give little assistance to
each of them that are appealing for
aid SO far we have received no re
turns worthy of mention. In Twin
rails county we cast about 900 or
900 votes, a gain of something like
200 over 1912 and about double that
of 1914 The dubbs of Nampa fell for
the kept us out of war" dope and we
just about held our own. Indications
are that we will make gain of about
200 in the county. Melba precinct
polled 60 denis, 36 rep. and 35 soc. !;
CoIburn, fl dems., 4 reps. and % soc. !;
Carlin Bay, l3 dems., " reps. and 80
socialist votes. This is all the cleo
ton news we have at the present
time. We had hoped that the com
rades would respond to our request
and send in this information, but
they have not done so. They will I'M
doubtedly be expecting some returns
in this column, but they should not,
as we are depending upon them for it.

REPLY TO Il. X. STONE

Everett, Wash, Nov rs, 1916.
Dear Comrades:
Replying to Comrade Ella X. Stones
article in the Northwest Worker, Nov.
10th, in which she takes exceptions
to the name "Christian," which is
part of the name of "The Womens
Christian Socialist League of Ever
ctt,' and states that person can not
be Socialist and Christian at the
same time, beg to state that | be
licve the comrade is mistaken about
what true Christianity really is. She
is undoubtedly referring to the Chris
tianty of the Constantine variety
which is preached in the synagogues
Of capitalism. TO this we all agree
But the Christianity as taught by its
founder is akin to Socialism. Prof
Ely, an authority on social economics,
says that Socialism is applied Chris
tanity. Can you find anything in
the doctrine of Socialism sublimer
than "The Golden Rule?"
The Women Comrades of Everett
are trying to persuade the so-called
Christian women of Everett to come
into the Socialist movement where
they will be afforded an opportunity
to study the true principles of Chris
tianity. Don't Socialists advocate
the Brotherhood of Man? Are we
not recognizing and preaching the
principles of Christianity when we do
that? We extend a hearty welcome
| to Comrade Stone to visit our meet
ings and inspect our methods. If she
will do so she may learn something
ence between true Christianity and
quack shop churchianity, and help
divorce the well meaning, but misin-
formed women away from capital
ism's brood of false prophets that
send them to the polls every election
day to vote for the satanic represen-
tatives of the plutocratic parties.
Fraternally,
MRS. G. w. CARR.

If the bullets which riddled the
warehouse on the Everett City dock
were fired by men on board the We
roma, as reported in the Everett
dailies, how did it happen that all the
splinters fell on the outside of the
wall? To the unprecedented observer
it would appear that the shots we're
fired from the inside of the building
by men lying on the floor. The loca-
ton Of the holes and the position of
the splinters indicate that this was
the fact.
