THINGS WORTH
REMEMBERING

We average 60 hours per week in
getting out the Northwest Worker.
We have to do all editing, and CORE
spondence. Solicit advertising and
make collections on the advertising.
We have to keep the books, and send
out monthly reports to the Snohomish
County Socialist Locals. We have to
look over all the exchanges for news
items and edit all copy that is pub
lished. We have to make up the mail
ing list and attend to the mailing of
the papers. We have to attend to a
dozen other little details connected
with newspaper work, which takes up
ones time, and for all this we pay
ourself $500 per week. This is the
only wage paid out of the Northwest
Worker receipts. We are not kicking
at the wage. We would do it for less
if we could exist on less. But we
want you to renew your subscription
as soon as you are notified. We ask
no more of you. Bear this in mind
when you are notified If our re-
ceipts become greater than the ex-
penses, we will not try to raise our
wages; but will improve the paper by
adding new features. We could save
money today by getting out a smaller
paper (the size it used to be-, and we
could cut out the cartoon service, but
that is not our method of doing bust
ness. We are getting the Ryan
Walker cartoon service, commencing
with next week. You will all appre-
ciate this and in return all we ask of
you is to renew your sub. when you
are notified that it has expired The
Northwest Worker is in the field to
STAY. You will receive the full So
issues for your dollar. So again we
ask you to renew if your sub. has ex-

TURES IN DEMAND

a gratifying evidence of renewed
activity among the Socialists of Wash
lngton is the number of Locals that
are making arrangements to give the
entire four lectures of Comrade May
nard Shipley's "Nebula to Man"
course. Only the fourth lecture, "The
Impending Crisis" is Socialist pro
paganda talk the other three being
along the lines of chow things came
to be as they are" But the first three
lectures lead logically up to the
fourth, showing clearly that Socialism
is but phase of evolution, coming as
the result of the operation of the same
laws that produced Man himself. That
the comrades throughout the state are
conscious of the fact that a broad
educational foundation for an under
standing of the Socialist philosophy is
essential to a sound movement is a
most promising fact.
Locals or branches in the following
towns have arranged with Comrade
Shipley for the four lectures Taco
ma, Everett, Bellingham, Aberdeen
Cheney, Steptoe, North Yakima, Spo-
kane, Camas, Lewiston Gdaho), and
several others with whom arrange
ments are not quite completed. Sew
eral Locals that cannot take the course
have arranged for "The Impending
Crisis" Locals Bayview and Trafton
have arranged for straight propa-
ganda talk, not having electricity
available for the stereopticon views.
A number of Locals are yet to be
heard from.

WORKERS.
DOLLAR DAY

Every now and then the merchants
of this and other cities hold out spe-
cial inducements to prospective pur-
hasers-clearance sales, dress-up
week, clean and paint-up week, and
dollar days, are some of the things
used to stimulate business.
This time the Northwest Worker
will get into the game with its DOL
LAR DAY.
We want all of you that can afford
it to send in one dollar towards the
purchase of mailing machine. The
machine will be one of the Northwest
Workers greatest assets. With this
machine we can mail papers to every
house in Everett and the county in a
few hours. We may need machine
like that soon, and NOW is the time
to get it.
You cannot give a dollar to bet
ter cause. You will not be able to
get more in return for your money
anywhere, than by spending it on this.
You will make it easier for the
women comrades who help mail The
Northwest Worker every week for no
pay. Year in and year out these
Comrades have done the work for
nothing and we are asking you to
help the good cause by putting a dol
lar into this fund These women
Comrades will appreciate it and their
dollars are pledged, even now.
Don't delay. DO 1T NOW.

Wages continue to go down. Don't
believe it, Ell? Statistics compiled
by the government show that the cost
of eating has increased 9.27 per cent
in the past four years. The wage in
crease of $64,000,OOO is raise of the
country's total annual wage list
($12,000,O00,OO0) of .533 per cent
a little more than one-half of l per
cent. So we see that the cost of eat
ing is going up just tn times as
fast as the workers pay. Some pros
perity, Ell, what?

NEARING THE END

Never was the productive power of
human labor so great as at present.
Never was it such an easy matter to
provide ample of the necessaries of
life to satisfy the material needs of
all than now. Never in all the worlds
history did a master class live in
greater idlenesS and luxury than those
of today. Never was poverty and dis
content more widespread among the
masses than now. Never were strikes
and other evidences of industrial mis-
cry among the workers more frequent,
or of greater magnitude, than at pres
ent. Never were more energetic and
INSCRIPTIONS measures resorted to by
a ruling class to hold its slaves in
continued subsection than are being
used during these days of most glo-
rious civilization.
In fact, the horizon is replete with
signs and portents of rapidly ap-
preaching change that must be most
sweepingly revolutionary in character
if humanity is to rid itself of the bur-
den that now presses it down into the
swamp of poverty and wretchedness
in the very presence of the enormous
amount of wealth its working class
brings forth. That burden is the
present form of ownership, and con-
troll of the means of wealth produc-
tion-land, mills, mines, factories,
etc.-and the consequent control of
the products of labor. In other words,
the rule of capital.
Upon every hand is to be found
evidence of a significant awakening
among the worlds toilers. Indus
trial misery is forcing the issue. 1t
reflects itself not only in the strike
and boycott, but in the political re-
yulsion against the rule of capital
that threatens disaster to the present
ruling class in its rapine and robbery
of labor.
There can be no peace in human So
ciety until the working class arises to
the mastery of its own means of life.
The shackles of slavery to capital
must be broken and it's brutal ex-
ploitation of labor brought to an end.
1t is the working class that must do
the job for it is the only portion of
human society that has an interest in
so doing. The balance of human soci-
ETY. fattens and battens upon the en-
slavement and consequent degradation
of the workers and will use every eff
fort to prolong it's existence by re-
tanning its right to rule and rob.
Let the change come peacefully, if
it will, but swift and sweeping, if it
must. Whatever it may cost, the
working class will have to pay, and
the signs and portents dashing along
the horizon strongly indicate that
payment will be made in coin that is
red, and drawn from its own veins. In
fact, the working class is now paying,
and has always paid, for its own
slavery in the same coin-its life
blood.
The change will come. All signs
point to its near and rapid approach.
Let it come.

THE REAL CAUSE

Gen. Wood has let the cat out of
the bag.
1t was at a meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Citizens "Pre-
paredness" parade, held at the Yale
Club Standing before the sub-rulers
of the city-the heads of the silk, the
drygoods, the automobile, the cloak
and suit, the fur and mems clothing
industries, who take their orders only
from that larger industry on Wall
standing before the comfort
able, self-satisfied merchants, Wood
told them that it was they who caused
all wars.
"Our business is to get you out of
the trouble you get us into," he said.
at is business that brings on war; it
is the struggle for trade routes; it is
international business competition
that causes all armed conflicts"

HAFFER PROTEST MEETING

A mass meeting attended by about
VOC people was held at Eagles hall to
protest against the conviction of Paul
R. Haffer for the libel of George
Washington. Comrades Bruce Rogers,
Kate Sadler and Leslie E. Aller were
the principal speakers. Chairman P.
l.. Pendleton and Comrade Haffer also
spoke for few minutes. The meet
ing was very enthusiastic and great
number of those present volunteered
to act as collectors for funds. Col
lection amounted to $3.50. Comrade
Haffer has appealed for new trial.

We are neither a hero, nor a mar
tyr because we do the work on the
paper for such low wage. We like
the work and there are hundreds of
Comrades who would do it for the
same that we are. The best you can
do now is to renew your sub. when it
expires. Hand the paper to your
neighbor when you are through with
it and try to rustic sub. now and
again.

A Preparedness parade was held
in New York city Saturday, May 10.

let's were distributed.

Just how to employ the soldiers
when they return from the war is a
problem that is puzzling the emissar-
les of capitalism. To the Socialist it
is easy of solution. There are enough
jobs for all who want them. Let the
workers own the jobs.

1t is rumored that John T. Pewters

Asheville, N. C.-Mrs. w. H. Rhcades, of R. F. D. No. 4, of this lace, writes: For five y2ars after my marriage, I didn't have very goo'i health. Every three months I srf- fered for several days. l had te:- rible pains in my abdomen and back. I tried various remedies and med,- cines, which gave me no relief.
 Seeing the testimonials in the ai- manac, I thought I would try Cardui. After taking the first one or two bot ties, began 10 feel better. I took it off and on fer about four years. 1 improved all the time after l began to take Cardui. s,
 Cardui and Black-Draught both are fine mediciMas and 1 always advise my sick neighbOrs to take them and they have been improved or cured by following my, advice. l would also advise all suffering women to take Cardui, for it brought about a perm anent cure for me. and I always have it in the house. 1 am we'll and strong and have had good health in that re- spect since using that medicine"
 Many ladies, who once suffered terrible pains, now do so no more, or at least are relieved of many of their troubles as a result of taking Car dui, the woman's tonic.
