A BIG SOUEAL

The Association of Western Rail
roads has compiled and distributed a
book containing GA pages Of editorials
from the press of the United States,
regarding the demands of the Rail-
road Brotherhoods for an eight hour
day and time and half for overtime.
One of the most noticeable things
in these editorials is the way they
cover up the real issue by making out
that the men are demanding an in
crease in wages amounting to $780,
100000.
The railroad corporations have been
issuing copy to these papers for the
past three months, and the editorial
tools have been acting like good little
boys, and in this way have prejudiced
the public against the demands of the
workers.
1t is to be hoped that the workers
will tell the owners where they get
off at the joint conference that is to
be held in June.

THE BLACK INTERNATIONAL
AND THE FINAL SETTLEMENT

The war is not over, but already in
dications appear on the surface that
the Roman Catholic church is deter
mined to do all in its power to tri-
umph. Everything tends to support
this,
At the outset Of the war, extraor-
binary eXertions were visible to get
the pope-since deceased give the
Papal benediction to the Austrian
army. Pope Plus Y refused. The
late Papal Secretary of State, Car
dinal Merry Del Val, has been again
appointed to that office. That means
that politics will be the main function
in Vatican circles.
Socialism and Catholicism
Recently it was announced that the
reason the Papal benediction was
NOT given to Austria was that it was
in Difference to French Catholicism.
The reason is that Austria is Catholic
and will remain so. France, on the
other hand, is only celebrating" or
ganized religions. The governing
class of France realize that a growth
of Socialist thought is menace to
their interest. Consequently the
bourgeois there will give sanction to
anything that will ALLEVIATE from sup
port of Socialism. Since 1905 the
advance of Roman Catholic influence
in France has been remarkable. M.
Aristide BRAND, who was in Clemen-
ceau's cabinet as Minister of Educa-
ton and Public Instruction, by his
attacks on all religions did not weak
Ell, but strongly entrenched them.
In view of later events-that is, the
action of BRAND at ALL times to
buttress the stronghold of the French
bourgeoisie-one has his suspicious
considerably fortified, in thinking
that BRAND was used by the Vatican
for the latter's purposes. Year after
year, since 1905, has association with
the Papacy been increasing.
But why, then, these excitable ac-
tivities on the part of the Roman
Catholic Church? England-and,
presume, Americas made the
dumping ground of "brave" exploits,
by priests; their photos appear in
nearly all papers. am not anxious
to deny that some of these things may
have happened. The important point
is, what do they portend? Look
clearly at the situation. Austria is
Roman Catholic. France is NOT.
Austria is safe. France has to be
MADE safe. Cardinal Merry Del Val
is politician of politicians. More

tory, as well as revealing the nature
and intricacies of this mode of pro-
duction is due to two important dis
coveries-"The Materialistic Concep-
ton of History" and Surplus Value"
This new conception of the worlds
history was very different from the
early theories. No longer was it nee
essary to seek for perfect system
from the starting point of "human
nature" or absolute ideas" The new
Interpretation revealed the fact that
the causes of all great events in the
worlds history must be looked for in
the economic development of society;
that the various changes in the meth
cd of producing and exchanging the
means of human existence have al
ways been the moving power that
brought about the different forms in
the political constitution of society.
Instead of trying to explain the move
ment of humanity from the basis of
the Utopian and Idealist philosophers
it was now for the first time clearly
explained that the exact reverse was
the case. That mans ideas did not
move his environment, but, on the
contrary, the conditions in which hu-
man beings exist determine what
their ideas and actions are bound to
be. This Interpretation of human his

be regarded as discovery" of Marx

collaboration, Engels, that we are in

to the same laws, and governed by the
same forces, still it is exceptional

MAY THE 21ST

That is the day the Snohomish
County Socialist campaign opens.
That is the day that all red card men,
bers of the party are asked to be in
attendance at the mass meeting to be
held in The Forum in Everett. That
is the day when the Socialists of this
county will inaugurate what will be
the biggest campaign ever waged in
Snohomish county.
We want to see every rebel in at
tendance. We want to see you there
bright and early. We want you to
bring along all the ammunition Tin
the way of suggestions) with you.
We want you to come prepared to
nominate county ticket that will
keep the old party politicians on the
run.
The county Democrats are hopeless
ly outnumbered. The Republicans are
deserving their party. The Progress
sives are on the fence. The Socialists
have the finest chance in the world
to drive home their principles and
guide the poor, wandering, misguided
old partyites to place of safety.
Politicians may brag and bluff, but
in their voices is touch of hopeless
ness, in their eyes look of fear. The
RED PERIL is at hand. They have
played their game and the few re-
naming cards are low and of no value.
The outlook in this county as well as
in the state and nation is indeed
bright for the Socialist Party. Vic
tory after victory for the Socialists
in this country and in the European
countries prove to US beyond doubt,
that the Socialist tide is sweeping on
ward with greater force than it ever
did before.
So again we say, this is OUR OPP
portunity. Let us start the campaign
with an enthusiastic meeting. Let us
nominate without fear or favor our
best talent. Let US endeavor to keep
at least one speaker going the rounds
of the county every week. Let US put
an organizer in the field that will be
on the job morning, noon and night.
Let US put campaign committee in
charge of affairs that will be on the
job all the time. And when these
selections are finally made, let US, one
and all, see that these men stay on
the job and do the job right. The rank
and file must, in the last analysis, be
held responsible for the successful
carrying on of this campaign. We
must be on the job when our organ
izers, speakers or candidates are on
the job. We must be there to lend a
hand in the grandest fight the world
has ever known.

WHAT is EDUCATION?
BY Bruce Calvert,
"The Indiana Thoreau"

A man is educated only in so far as
he is able to relate his knowledge and
requirements to the business of hui
man living here and now.
Learning is not education. A man
may possess a vast amount of learn
ing and still be fool. Facts are not
power. To know how to make the
right use of information, to apply our
facts is the only education. The en-
cycopedia is packed full of all the
scientific and literary facts of the
world but it cannot use one of them.
We have great deal more learn
ing than education in the world. Our
schools and colleges are for the most
part well called Constitutions of
Learning" That they are, bu t of
education, am sorry to say-not.
To yoke up learning with life must
be the next great educational work of
the future.
In our modern high-pressure exist
ence we are cultivating the frills and
fripperes at the expense of the real
things Of life. Educators are forever
talking about "enriching" the course
of study in our public schools. But
while the curriculum becomes richer,
scholarship grows steadily poorer.
There is something here to give US
pause. 1t applies not only to school
education but to life itself as well.
The goal of life is not to possess,
but to become. 1t is not the multi
plicity of things that fill our lives or
minds that makes for happiness or
progress. Alas, no. Not what we
have but what we rightly use makes
us great, or noble, or wise or worthily
successful.
We have more than enough in the
world for the happiness, comfort, no.
bility and well being of all the people
on the globe, if only those who have
more than they can ever use would
share with those who have nothing.
Will they ever voluntarily share-the
plethoric ones? No, they never will.
They cannot under this inhuman capt.
talistic regime. Not until we change
our social system can we ever change
the natures of men and women.

diplomatic than religious" dip
lomats. What of the result?
Simply this: 1t will be n conflict
between the Red and the Black In
ternational. The greater the triumph
of Rome, the more the necessity of
revolutionary propaganda.
The Church and France
France was nearly overcome by
Rome, in the Dreyfuss affair. Next
time forgeres will not be relied on.
1t will be repetition of the coup
d'etat of 1859. What better can be
quoted for support than the latest
book published on France? 1t came
out Oct. 22nd. 1t is called "France
Herself Again" The author is Able
Ernest Dimnet Already he has been
dubbed the French "Bernhardi." The
author not only suggests that the
present constitutional regime is no
use-TO CATHOLICISM that the
best kind of government is one that is
monarchical and goes on to discuss
who would be most successful-Duc
d'Orleans or Prince Victor Napoleon.
All he writes is to get the Roman
Catholic power in France supreme.
Capitalism's Advance Guard
Whilst clericalism is not the great
est enemy we have, it is--and will be
used as the advance guard of the
capitalist forces. There are no meth
DDS too INSCRIPTIONS that our masters
will not use. We are not as bour-
geois as Gambetta, who said "Cler-
icalism is THE enemy" but these
facts must be taken into account.
Even if we destroyed Roman Catholi-
cism, our fight would still be as bit
ter and as hard. Make no mistake.
The capitalist class will use every
means to set back our movement.
Patriotism is counting now. 1t will
count more as time advances. Love Of
country may be good Tor those VINO
own it, but for us--the dispossessed-
it is inconsequential.
Roman Catholicism, if true to its
past, will continue to preach submits
sion, humility, and other capitalist
vices. We MUST show their fall
lacy. In America various priests point
out that they are the only bulwark
against Socialism. Be that as it may,
it is always admirable to look facts
in the face. Rome can--and does
pursue the wait and see" policy. Ours
is the opposite. If we only stand by
our revolutionary position, We'll soon
triumph.

THE PEST"

Emanuel julius, of the New York
Daily Call staff, advises the North
west Worker that three of his one-act
plays are on the press and will soon
be ready for distribution under the
title of "The Pest, and Other Plays"
In "The Pest" the writer pokes fun
at American novehsts. This play con-
tains a thorough criticism of Ameri-
can literary art, in a form that will
be attractive. His second play, "Slum-
ming" is frankly Socialists opinions
on present-day conditions and origin

MOSES BARITZ.

insofar as the purchaser of labor
power is able to extract more value
from this commodity than was paid
for it on the open market, and that
this robbery, or appropriation, of the
difference between what the worker
produces and what he receives back in
the form of wages, is the basis of the
whole capitalist mode of production.
These two discoveries" alone re-
moved sociology from the sloughs of
idealism, and placed it, not on the
rock of ages, but on the rock of sci
ence.
In this review we trust that the re-
lation of Marx and Engels to the So
cialist movement has been sufficient
ly explained. These two writer's and
teachers in the revolutionary cause
are not, as capitalist apologists would
lead us to believe, accepted by the So
cialists of today as craven images or
patron saints, to be fervently wor-
shipped and adored, because of some
hidden influence they are supposed to
exert, or because of some wonderful
miracles they may have performed.
Their high standing among the au-
thorities in the scientific Socialist
school today is due to nothing else
than the part they have played in
analysing the mode of capitalist pro-
duction, and assigning it place of it's
own in the historical process.
About the time that Marx and En-
gels were applying their conception
of history in the realms of sociology
other writers-Morgan in ethnology,
and Darwin in biology, were, in their
own way, applying the same concep-
ton in their particular sciences. 1t
was discovery that could not long
remain undiscovered even had the
German philosophers never existed.
In political economy Marx and Engels
also found it necessary to build their
theories on the experience of others.
Previous economists-David Ricardo
and Adam Smith, had done consider
able spade work in this field, and so
obviated the necessity of those who
succeeded them starting in where they
had made their beginning.
