At the Meade County Fair, more
than score Of babies contested
in health and hygiene under the
STANDARD set by the state board OF
health.
The babies were all of a high
standard, most Of them were very
high, so that we had to grade very
closely in order TO difierentiate
closely.
We attempted to decide. fairly
and honestly.
In feet no one had any idea as
to the winners until all the records
were graded.
Personally think we could inn
prove some what on the standard
set by the state board.
l doubt if justice is done to the
huskier, breast fed babes but we
followed the rules.
The babes were with few ex-
ceptiODs very fine. and the judy
ing was a pleasure. In fact l think
greater interest should be taken
in this line Of work, and reasonable
premiums should be offered to the
best babies. Why would it not
also b good step to offer a good
premium to the best mother, and
the father!
Il misht be more conducive to
give the best baby. Mother and
father $50. each. The man who can
raise the best corn about $2S. and
the the man who owns the horse
that can do nothing but run about
q dollar and half. Would not
this benefit humanity more? What
do you think about it?

Working class 10 be contented, were
among some of the points mentioned.
At this point in the discussion he
made the statement that the greatest
aim of ruling bodies is to extend their
territory, either by stealing or other
wise. Examples of this were Poland,
Russia absorbing Siberia, and Japan
trying to control slices of China. In
! regard to America, he showed our
growth in regard to expansion, how we
secured bit after bit through fair or
foul means became An interesting
topic under Mr.. kirkpatrick's manage
ment. He said, more fuss has been
made over our Mexican situation than
the death of all miners killed during
the last twenty years"
The lecturer traced the land desires
through the stages in history, showing
the desire for power, place and plum
der.
An interesting topic developed at
this period was the nonsense given the
child. Loyalty, egotism, conceit, van
ity and to be contented were taught
in the early life of the child. Because
the child cannot discriminate he will
take anything, and absorb it. At this
point an interesting discussion of how
the child was taught to honor and fol-
low the flag, no matter what it stands
for. at concentrates the butcher to
make the saint in politics."
A definition of the parasite and how
it applied to the working class, was
then given. The working class has
been taught to put away means of pro-
duction to take up agents of destruc-
ton.
Summing up, Mr.. Kirkpatrick said
that the reason for the war is % con-
troll of children by filling them full of
false ideas.
Finishing he made three sugges-
tons, Socialism, Power to Prevent
War, even after it has been declared,
and Woman Suffrage. He explained
and discussed each suggestion and
asked the question which was the best
suggestion.

q. Under the new registration law,
will voter have to re-register if he
fails to vote in school election, "A
special election, or a municipal cleo

err. C.P.
The law provides that: "If any reg
istered voter shall fail to vote at any
general, state, county or municipal
election, held in the precinct in which
he is registered, during any quadren-
mum, his registration shall become
void, and his name shall be stricken
from the registration bokos. + +"
Hence the law does not apply to school
or special elections; nor does it apply
to municipal elections that are special
or of the recall variety,

and still they do not have enough to
eat, but starve, although they have a
chicken appetite and a bologna salary.
The workers make the legislatures,
and then they do not send their peo-
pie to vote for them.
The capitalists pay the workers less
than the profit of their labor. The
workers purchase the goods while the
capitalists consume them. But some
time soon, the problem of the unem-
ployed has to be solved.
If the profits on railroads and coal
mines should go up in that proportion,
the profits would go to those who own
the railroads and coal mines.
Society will soon outgrow this avail
able market for the capitalist system.
First the world had cannibalism, where
one man got living off another man.
Next came chattel slavery, a system
by which the rich man gained from the
poor one. Next came serfdom, a sur
plus game for the millionaires, and
then comes the present system of cap
italism, by which one man gets a liv-
ing off another man. The societies
say to the workers, eve can not make
living off you, so you can starve!
freeze! die!!
There are three propositions which
are to be kept in mind.
l, Everybody ought to work.
2. If everybody ought to work, then
everybody ought to be permitted to
work.
3. Any society that teaches people
how to work, and denies them when
they want to work-that society is
rotten!
More fuss has been made over the
one hundred eighteen men killed re-
Gently by Mexicans than all the poor
people who have died from hunger and
cold.
People ought to think this over, for
war is nothing but human butchering
and hell. Everyone should shout,
"Down with War, Capitalism and Mil
itarism," and let the rich man go out
and get killed if he wants to; but the
poor man will stay home and fight
against war.

COL. CASES LEAGUE


Col. Otto A. Case, hyas tyee of the
Non-Partisan league, read the Post
lntelligencer editorial page Tuesday
morning on the way over to his office
from his home at West Seattle. On
his arrival he seized the dictionary,
turned to the p's and then to the pas
and finally found it in the pans:
Notwithstanding to pantolo-
gy. Pantology-a discourse on all
human knowledge"
At first glance Col. Case mistook
the word. He thought it related to
pants; and thinking of pants what
is more natural than to think of pants
pockets? AS nothing in nature alb
hors vacuum like a pair of yawning
pants pockets, it can readily be seen
that Col. Cases next thought must
have been-but we leave that to you.
Anyway, it costs only $4 year to be-
long to Col. Cases pantologistic or
ganization. Who will be the first to
leave years dues?
If you want an office you can't af-
ford to neglect this golden opportun-
ity. Govnor Teats, W. D. Lane, Bob
Hodge, Charley Reynolds, Ernest Lis
ter and Richard Mansfield White are
all in on the ground floor. Step lively,
please Washington State Weekly.

RYAN WALK Err REPLIES
Editor N. W. Worker:

| Editor NJ W. Worker:
have read Comrade Fairbanks let
ter about the Bremerton date that /
failed to keep. If he was better in
! formed in regard 10 certain things he
would not make reckless statements
First place, he knew that there was
strike on, and there was no way for
me to get there unless hired a
launch. Knowing this condition of af-
fairs, he did not take enough interest
in the matter to suggest where might
get waterloo
! would like to know how he knows
that ! made no attempt to reach Brem-
erton or to get launch. How does he
know that could have gotten one for
So? The facts in the case: My train
came in a bit late; my trunk and suit
cases were sent to the dock. / went
to the dock to take boat over to
Bremerton and found the strike on. |
also found out the conditions the
workers were fighting against. tried
to get launch asked the strikers
to get one and they said that they
could not get one, as the smaller boat
men were in fear of the Puget Sound
Company. After trying then sent
wire to the Local.
| have yet to see Gene Debs riding
on scab boat of any kind. AS for
his swimming over or Warren swim
ming over-any time they care to
make that trip in such manner with
a 2OO-pound trunk and two suit cases,
they can do so. | won't swim that far
and I'm rotten swimmer anyway.
Any Local having similar conditions
like those developed at Bremerton-
and they do not take enough interest
in the welfare of the speaker to help
him along, need not expect me to fill
a date.
If the Local wants to support scab
conditions, all good and we'll, but as
"a speaker for the National office,
am not going to do so. If Comrade
Fairbanks would have gone to as much
trouble before to help matters along,
as he has done since in wailing, he
would have enjoyed fairly good lee
ture by Henry Dubb-no doubt.
Fraternally,
RYAN WALKER.

SHOULD MAKE AN
ISSUE OF LOYALTY
To the Northwest Worker:

TO the Northwest Worker:
In reading Comrade Fairbanks let
ter to Northwest Worker, concerning
Comrade Walkers date at Bremerton.
| regretted very much that such an is
sue had been made of it. | recognize
fully the great disappointment it
caused the comrades, also what a tr.at
they missed in failing to have Ryan
Walker with them; but | question very
seriously the ACCESSIBILITY of a cham
pIon OF the cause Of Labor riding on
an unfair boat. feel if the comrade,
instead of criticising Comrade Walker
for his failure to come under such con-
ditions, would make an issue of his
loyalty to labor movement, in it's
broadest sense, better results would be
gotten and closer feeling exist be-
tween the Labor Unions and the So
cialist Party. The outcome would not
be then, as he predicted, much harm
to the fall campaign.
Let us forget the immediate disap-
polntment we suffered as a result and
not use this as weapon against our
selves, but rather make it an issue to
demonstrate the oneness of the DUR
pose of the Socialist and Labor Union
movement.
Yours for cooperation,

SOCIALIST PRESS
INDISPENSABLE TO
SUCCESS OF SOCIALISM
BY ALLEN L. BENSON
Socialist Candidate for President

IF all of the newspapers and mag
azines in the United States were to be-
gin tomorrow to advocate and to ex-
plain Socialism, and the people, six
months later were to be given an op-
portunity to vote upon the question of
whether this government should put
into practice the principles of Social
ism, the people, in the most matter-of-
fact sort of way, would vote to do so.
All OF US vote as we think, and most of
US think as we read. What American
voters read, therefore, largely deter
mines how they vote. So great is the
power of the press that, year after
year, the great mass of American vot-
ers are deceived into voting against
their own interests.
"How much easier it is to make
people believe the truth than it is to
make them believe a falsehood is in
dicated by the fact that every tenth
voter in the United States is Social
list, although the aggregate circulation
of the Socialist press is thousand to
one.
"The lesson we should draw from
the facts is plain. A Socialist press is
indispensable to the success of Social
ism. Every dollars worth of truth
promulgated by a Socialist publication
will kill thousand dollars worth of
capitalist lies.

STAND UP AND FIGHT

You're sick of the game; we'll now
that's shame;
You're young and you're brave and
you're bright.
you've had a raw DEAL" know-but
don's squeal,
Buck up! Do your damndest and fight.
It's the plugging away that will win
you the day,
So don't be a piker, old pard!
Just draw on your grit, it's dead easy
to quit,
It's the keeping your chin up that is
hard.
It's easy to cry that you're beaten
and die;
It's easy to crawfish and crawl;
But to fight and to fight when hopes
out of sight
Why-that's the best game of them
all!
And though you come out of each
grueling bout
All broken and beaten and Scared,
Just have one more try-it's dead easy
to die
It's the keeping on living that's hard

EMPLOY SOCIALISTS

BERLIN.-It appears that one eff
feet of the war will be to break the
taboo against Socialists in executive
position of city governments. Just
now the city Of Charlottenburg has
installed a Socialist as an unpaid
member of the council, or executive
authority Of the city. Frankfort-on-

electing DR.. Lindemann, of Stuttgart,
a former member Of the reichstag, to
a paid position on its governing board
as specialist in municipal govern
ment.
