Pause and hear the account Of
events long agd. At my Seven Pines
home, the bluffs of Iowa on the north
appear less rugged than the bluffs OF
iowa eastward. There are some de-
posits here of>very fine clay of diff
ferent colorS. I hope to make collec-
tions Of the characteristic clays and
sands. Under glass they appear at,
tractive.
Western Iowa and eastern Nebraska
form a region which is famous as a
corn producing locality. Alfalfa is a
fairly good crop. Sweet clover is seen
commonly and blue grass is spreading
over all unoccupied lands. The rail
roads hold supremacy here. The
Missouri Pacific and the Burlington
transportation for everything. have
Missouri river, although few boats
are occasionally visible as far north
as Omaha.
There is a military reservation here;
where quite an army OF regular United
State soldiers Is camped. This Is
Fort Crook, named in honor Of General
Crook. of much notice in connection
with the battle Of the Little Big Horn
river, where General Custer and his
brave troops met their sad fate OF ex-
termination at the hands Of Chiefs
Rain in the Face, Sitting Bull and
Gall, with their overwhelming Sioux
braves.
| Fort crook is one mile square. I'm
mense buildings are erected here for
garrison use and other purposes The
reservation is upon beautiful nign-
land, very conspicuous for many miles
around. A large area is devoted to
practice at shooting, and here the sol
diers are taught lessons in shooting
images of enemies OF our republic.
After all, the most popular concern OF
the human race seems to be the des-
truction of fellow beings.

. It don't cost much many suppose

And lovely flowers that grow Wild
The coolest of winters is followed by spring. :
X We can have the free joys of child. :
Kind words pleasant looks, smiles CHEEKY and brave.
Cost nothing, nothing at all,
And yet all the wealth that gold mine could have
Would make no such pleasure befall.

Honest labor brings treasures Of health;
Meath the curtains of night what slumber share
Without big portion of wealth.
We have dozens of friends true-hearted and strong
To-ioye, and be loved, for loves sake;
Indeed, all that makes life happy and long
Is free to whoever will take ....

And that is reason, alas

TOO MUCH JOHNSON.

'Too much Johnson was the trouble in
California, and it cannot be denied that the
suspicion is deepening into belief that Hiram
glimpsed certain possible advantages to him
self if Hughes and Roosevelt went down to-
gether in defeat.
Governor johnson, now senator-elect,' has
been SO big factor on the Pacific slope that he
may easily come to see himself out Of his true
proportions to the rest Of the world Sectional
celebrities not infrequently absorb the notion
that they would loom as hugely in large en-
vironment as in their little one. They become
afflicted with what the medical books describe
as delusions Of grandeur; but when they un-
dertake to regulate their actions to- this theory
their establishment is commonly complete
and sad.
1t will surprise few if when this product of
glorious California comes to meet up with the
middle western and eastern men who dominate
affairs at Washington he is likely to obtain cor
recter notions Of relative magnitude and to
realize that his plan, if he entertained it, of
lrevolutionizing legislative procedure and put
ting a crimp in the orderly arrangement of ma
tional affairs was only an irldescent dream.
Twenty five years ago Greek immi grant
from Sparta landed at New York City, bound
for Chicago. He knew no English and had
barely sufficient resources to pass the immigra-
ton office. The next five years were spent by
him in pushing, hauling and lifting boxes and
barrels in fruit commission house by day and
studying English, American history, geography
and political economy at Hull house at night
to fit himself for American citizenship. Ten
wears later he established a newspaper called
the Greek Star He rose to position Of lead
ership in public affairs and became a member
of the Chicago public safety commission. By
1915 he was prosperous enough to take posses
sion of a.residence in Sheridan Road This
board of directors of Northwestern university
settlement in aid of the poor immigrants in Chi
cago. The career to date of Peter S. Lambros
shows that the doors of opportunity still swing
open in the American republic.

to stand on the side of the workmer
whenever strike or other conflict
for improved conditions of labor oc.
ours, either as "A spontaneous action OF
the workers or as result of action
taken by any labor organization
whatever.
Comments That the emancipation
of the proletariat from wage slavery
is impossible by means of political
action only without economic organ
| ization of labor built on the lines not
of craft unionism, but of what is call
ed in America Industrial unionism,
was recognized and proclaimed since
1907 by the entire International So
cialist movement, when the Stuttgart
international Socialist congress
adopted its trade union resolution
containing, among others, the follow
ing two paragraphs;
"To emancipate the proletariat com
pletely from the bonds of intellectual,
political and economic serfdom, the
political and the economic struggle
are alike necessary"
"The development of the capitalist
system of productions; the increased
concentration of the means of produc-
ton; the growing alliances of en-
n1nvare. Tho inaraa cip.r Jano,Jn,on ,,f
particular trades upon the totality of
bourgeois society--(all this)-would
reduce trade unions to impotence, if,
concerning themselves with nothing
more than trade interests, they took
their stand on corporate (craft) sell
fishness, and admitted the theory of
the harmony Of interests between la
Dor and capital"
The Socialist party is committed to
these principles by the unanimous
vote cast for that resolution in Stuff
CART by the international secretary of
the Socialist party, Morris Hillquit, by
Algernon Lee, A. M. Simons, and
other delegates of the Socialist party
to that congress. In case of refusal
of the Socialist party to accept those
principles as one of the unqualified
conditions for unity, the Socialist La
Dor party has no choice but to refuse
to enter with it into any kind of
agreement for unity, as no good can
come from unity with a body which
commits itself in favor of certain
principles in Europe, but fails or re-
fuses to commit itself in favor of the
same principles at home, in America,
especially when these principles are
so vital for the success of the Social
list movement.

SAYS CONNOLLY WROTE
AUTHORITIES IN ENGLAND
FORCED IRISH ISSUE

Jim Larkin, founder of the Irish
labor movement, at a meeting held in
Chicago discussed the causes of the
Irish rebellion. Following his talk, it
was decided to call a mass meeting
Sunday, May 81, to protest against
the execution of the leaders of the re-
volt.
Larkin mentioned letter sent him
April Is by James Connolly, Irish la
Dor leader, who led the rebellion.
Connolly wrote me he saw trouble
coming and that the English author
tiles had forced the ISSUE" Larkin
said. "He told of the posting of no
tees by the master builders in Dub
lin denying employment to workers
who refused to enlist as volunteer
militia to assist the English army"
Larkin declared England will crum-
BILE after the war and that will mean
deliverance to all European nations.
"Our fight has not been with the
English people, but with the English
system of government" he said.

D-As to Militarism and War:

Recognition and declaration in ia
vor of the fact:
THAT the navy, the army, and all
other mlitarist establishments, adj
vocated under the uretext of "pre-
paredness' against foreign invasion,
are maintained in reality for the two
fold purpose:
| a-To protect the capitalist class
against rebellious workers and the
threatening final revolution of the
working class; and
b-To secure for the capitalist class
of various countries a better oppor-
tunity for Selling foreign markets
they need so badly in order to realize
cash on the wealth they have robbed
their workers of at home, under the
operation of the capitalist wage sys-
TEN.
2-That the elected representatives
of the party must, therefore, under
penalty of expulsion from the party,
be prohibited from voting under any
circumstances for any appropriation
of men or money for war or militar-
ism, whether in the increased scale
of so-called preparedness" or on the
scale of our present army and navy.
3-That the Socialist mopement, in
order to succeed, must be unqualified
ly international in its scope and char
acter.
1.-The acceptance of the interna-
| tional principle that so-called national
defense, at this late day of interna-
tional capitalism, is an anachronism,
| and that the proposed united party go
| on record as being utterly opposed to
this theory of national defense, plac-
ing itself squarely on the ground of
the class struggle, recognizing that
the proletariat of the world has no
country which it can call it's own
consequently it has no country to DE-
FEND, but country and world to
GAIN from the capitalist class of the
country and of the world.
E-As to Administration and Organ
izatiOn of the United Party.
Pending the time when complete
accord on all cardinal questions of
principles and tactics, and consequent
complete organic amalgamation of the
two parties, will become both desir-
able and possible, as a result of CO.
operation and comradely intercourse
of the now warning parties, the S. L..
p must insist that the unity of the
two parties must represent a Fedora
ton of two distinct bodies, each re-
tanning its organization in it's integ-
rity and each enjoying a proper
amount of f-government, and of
representation in the governing bodies
of the movement.
AS a consequence of this character
of organization it must follow, as far
as the S. l.. P. subdivision of the
united party is concerned, that;
THE S. L. P. retain jurisdiction
over its members, scattered though
they are all over the country.
2-The S. L. P. retain ownership
and control of all it's present proper
ty; its printing plants; its various or
gans; its Labor News publications,
copyrighted or otherwise; and be it.
self responsible only for its own liabil-
tiles.
3-In the National Administration
a-The S, L. P. elect two members
to the National Executive Committee
of the united party, which committee
