THE NOBLE 300

Sheriff McRae sent out call for
500 citizens to volunteer their services
as deputy sheriffs last week and some
800 responded. Most of these are
business men and office seekers, and
they sure presented some sight. Some
Of them were old and crippled and had
one foot in the grave. These joined
thinking that maybe they could die a
hero's CD death. Some of them had
a lower chest on them which proved
conclusively that they had not been ac-
quainted with work for many a year.
Each wore a star and a little red,
white and blue ribbon. Some of them
stuck out what little chest they could
and tried to look officious with the
result that smile came to the faces
of the onlookers. Somebody suggest
ed that it would be a shame to start
trouble and mess these poor fellows
up so everybody, excepting the scabs,
acted like real men, not, however, the
kind of men that col. Hartley would
have US be. We are pleased to report
that the deputies are still alive and
doing we'll and the workers are saw
ing money by getting a good laugh
at the expense of these heroes.

MAN AND MACHINES


An eastern, manufacturing concern
is making $4,000 uniforms a day for
soldiers of the Allies. Ingenious
machinery makes it possible for this
firm to fill the task imposed upon it.
One of the new processes is the cutting
of cloth 60 folds high with circular
electric knife. Yet in spite Of the fact
that mans genius has made it possible
to turn out this amount of work in one
day, many thousands, aye yes millions
of Americans will SILVER during the
coming winter for the want of more
and better clothing. And why? Be-
cause the machinery of production is
owned and controlled by small por-
ton of society. If society as whole
owned and controlled the machinery
of wealth production it would then be
found quite possible to feed clothe and
shelter every human being in society
with an abundance Of everything that
man and machine could produce. That
would be Socialism. How would you
like it?

MORE AMERICANISM

Because charges have been made
that wheat millers, large bakers and
Chicago packers are in a conspiracy
to increase the price of bread, the
government has been asked to investi-
gate the flour and baking industries
of the country.
Notwithstanding the fact that flour
is being shipped from the United
States to Europe, bread can be pur-
chased in Europe cheaper than in the
United States. Bread made out of
American flour, sells in the city of
London, England at Is cents for ga
ounces and in Lyons, France, they get
35 ounces for n cents.
The Americanism of Republican and
Democratic administrations is to feed
Europe at the expense of America. We
are producing more grain than we ever
did before and the farmers are only
receiving 20 to 80 cents bushel above
that of normal times, yet the price of
flour has been more than doubled that
of normal times. And the worker
foots the bill for that commodity just
as he does for all other commodities
whole his own commodity-labor
power-remains practically the same.

LABOR TAKING HOLD

1t is indeed gratifying to hear that
British workmen are taking hold of
the economic situation in Great Brit
ain. At the Annual Trades Union
Congress in London demands are be-
ing made upon the government which
although reformist in nature, are min
ature revolutions in the labor world.
The CONSUMPTION of wealth, compuls-
airy trade union membership, compul-
sorry eight hour day, minimum wage of
80 shilling minimum now being about
IL shillings) Naturalization of rail
roads and universal state unemploy-
ment pay are some of the demands.
These demands by labor are really en-
couraging. 1t is the hand writing on
the wall. Labor is awakening. Once
it gets real understanding of it's
power, good bye parasites and capital
ism.

THINK OR SURRENDER

lions 70 noble souls with nerveless
hearts, with flameless eyes, their
hopes in ashes, weary, weakened, sick
cned, outcast, strangers to the upper
side of life, blinded with tears of grief
dumb with disappointment and despair
suffocated into prideless humility, be-
trayed into senseless acceptance of a
brute's doom for themselves and their
en-contented-in beasts stup-
or contented- the dead-line.
There are indeed millions of these
sleeping -deadened- almost dead to
the call to rise to JOY and justice.
But these shall wake--even these
shall wake.
In these, aye, even in these, rifled,
stifled ones the god will yet stir, the
god of the passion for loftier and love-
lier living-above the dead-line. Even
in these crushed stunned ones will
grow up superbly proud contempt
for any philanthropy, for any philos-
ophy, for any religion, for any ed
ucation, for any craftsmanship, for any
industrial system, for any leadership
that cunningly leaves the fleeced and
cheated mulitudes in the swinish wal
low of the belly's beastly joys and
leaves the brain a desert, stranger to
the radiant fruits and flowers of
science, stranger to the sweet perfume
of poetry and the caressing tints and
tones and the witching forms and
meanings of music and art, stranger to
the JOY and justice of elevated fellow
ship in socially redeemed world. The
bruised lips of these palsied ones will
yet hurl hot curses at any and all who
teach the socially damned to be salts
fled with their damnation.
The above is from Comrade Kirk
patrick's latest book. 1t contains 80
pages and is chock full of as interest
ing matter as the above. 1t is full
of fire and got up in such way that
you will want to read the whole thing
through in one day. 1t is a laugh pro-
Queer and a think producer and we can
assure you that it will make Social
list of anybody but a bonehead. that
reads it.
1t is the cheapest book on the mar
ket today for it's size and matter and
should be in the hands of at least
every Socialist so as to enable them
to loan it to their neighbors.

TO SOCIALIST CANDIDATES

1t appears at this time of writing
that the county and state executive
committees will not be financially able
to have newspaper cuts made of the
Socialist candidates so it will be up to
the candidates themselves to pay for
their own cuts.
In order to avoid delay in this mat
ter we would suggest that those can
lidates that wish to have their pictures
published shold send their photos with
$3.50 to the office of the Northwest
Worker and we will have the cuts
made.
The cuts will be copper half-tones
and will last good many years.
Candidates who have not got picture
of themselves will do we'll to visit the
Myers Studio on Hewitt Avenue as
this man makes a speciality of this
kind of work.

WRITING IN NAMES

A correspondent wishes to be put
right on the question of writing in
names of Socialist candidates. Why
is it, he asks, that the names are not
printed on the primary ballot where
we have polled more than 10 per cent
of the total vote.
According to a ruling of the su-
preme court the law does not call for
the payment of the filing fee from
persons whose names are written in
on the primary ballot. So far this law
has been upheld in King County and
in one instance in Snohomish County,
hence the Socialists intend to test this
law by writing in the names of their
candidates in the 10 per cent districts.
In that case it would be foolish for
the Socialists to hand money over to
capitalist institutions when the law
does not demand it. All Socialists in
10 per cent counties should write in
the names of the Socialist candidates
as published elsewhere in this issue.
Call for Socialist ballot.

SANG 1.-THE RED
FLAG" IN COURT
REMARK ABLE SCENE AT A SEDI-
TON TRIAL IN SCOTLAND.

There were remarkable scenes in
the High Court at Edinburgh when
the Lord Justice-General passed sent
ence of three years Imprisonment on
John MacLean, Govan ex-teacher,
who was charged with having made
speeches likely to impede recruiting
and cause sedition. Prisoner, as he
was being led away, waved his hat to
his friends in the gallery. In response
the crowd upstairs gave three cheers,
some of them shouting, "Good-bye,
Johnw Several men and women then
began to sing"The Red Flag" which
was Immediately taken up by practi-
cally everyone upstairs. His Lordship
called out the court would be cleared,
but Notwithstanding the efforts of po-
lice, who were present in considerable
force, the song was sung to a finish.
Three more cheers were given, and the
disturbers then left the court.
Four of the singers were arrested
by the police, held in custody all night
and next morning brought before Lord
Strathclyde and fined $40 each, or Ia
days Imprisonment.
The charge was that they, along
with others, behaved in an insulting
and a contemptuous manner by rising
to their feet in the gallery after the
sentence had been pronounced, and
while the judge was still on the bench,
cheering, singing verse of the song
known as "The Red Flag" and waving
their hands.-Peoples Journal.

THIS is OUR YEAR

This is our year. Most everybody
is talking about the Socialist party,
Some are for and some are strenuous
ly opposed but it is good sign to
even have them talking about the So
cialists. Our numbers are increasing
to such an extent that we can no
longer be ignored.
In the state of Washington the So
cialists will more than hold their own
with the old party politicians. We are
going to poll surprisingly big vote.
And yet it should not be surprising
when we consider the number of
speakers that have been touring the
state during the past two years. Hun
dreds of thousands of people have
heard our message and many hundreds
have been started on the right road
and those in turn have started many
hundreds more.
The campaign will be in full swing
in every county after the primaries.
every SouiiNy mas ils luo1a VI oPSaNSis
and every county has its local men,
bers that will wake up the sleeping
proletariat during the next two
months.
The membership seems to have over
looked one great factor in the cam
paign however, and that is the State
filing fee fund. If we are to have our
state candidates on the November bal
lot we MUST hand over the coin. Not
a single candidates name will be print
ed whose filling fee has not been paid
And surely it is worth two-bits to have
ALL the names on the ballot. We
know that it comes hard on some of
you to have to pay both county and
state filing fee and there is yet $3.50 to
collect.
Comrades! Do not let this splendid
opportunity go by without a supreme
effort on your part to have that tick
ct filed. Maybe you can get friend
to donate little. Maybe you can DON
ate little more than the two-bits
yourself but you MUST do something
and you must DO 1T NOW. Send
your money to the state office.

ARE YOU ONE?

Are you one of the little band that
is going to get out every Sunday
morning and distribute leaflets until
the ballots are counted in November?
Just an hours work at the most will
be all that is required of you in order
to carry on work that counts for So
cialism. If Socialism is worth having
then it is worth working for, and if
you will show up at The Forum next

Day Proclamation

Whereas, The betterment OF rural
ject attracting the attention of educa-
tional leaders throughout the United
States; and,
Whereas, Colorado desires to be in the
forefront in educational advance, gladly
adopting all practicable methods for
school Improvement;
Now, therefore, by the constitutional
authority vested in me as Superintend
ent Of Public Instruction, and by and
with the advice and consent Of the State
Standardization Committee, l do hereby
proclaim and set aside February 25th as
Standardization Day" to be celebrated
in all schools situated in second and
third class districts in Colorado. On the
afternoon Of that day, the StandaIdiza-
tion Score Card, prepared by the State
Standardization Committee, will be af-
fixed in conspicuous place in each
school house, and each teacher is re-
gathering at the school house, in order
to acquaint all school officials and pa
irons with the exact standing OF the
school. At this meeting program OF
civic patriotism should be held, consist
ing Of songs, readings and addresses;
adults, as we'll as children, taking part.
A basket picnic may be made feature
OF this celebration and contribute to the
feeling Of unity and good cheer that
should mark the taking OF this great
forward step in Colorado school work.
Many schools are already prepared to
receive Standardization recognition from
the state, and Standardization Day will
doubtless prove widespread festival OF
triumphant achievement and an encour-
agement for the still further perfecting
of the Colorado school system.
In the name OF, and for the sake OF
all Colorado children, Standardization
Day should be made milestone in the
history OF the commonwealth.
