members are given to-again, only a
certain percentage of the members.
To balance this branch's reputa-
ton, another one is commonly refer
red to as being distinctly lowbrow,
presumably because the members will
persist in going out on windy street
corners, at all sorts of unreasonable
hours and in all weather, and disturb
ing the calm vacuity of passersby
with rafting Socialist small-arm fire.
One branch enjoys the reputation of
being an industrious distributor of lit
erature, another is known for it's ex-
cellent lecture forum. This tiny or
ganization does not hesitate to invite
the biggest national and sometimes
international figures to engage it's
champions in debate, and sometimes it
is successful, too, and then the local
movement is treated to a REAL af-
fair. That lusty, full-grown branch,
counting it's membership by the hun
dreds, ran the last campaign race so
fine that it's strong MARKHAM Social
list clutches were almost on the coat
tails of the leading old party candi-
date, and it is now quietly, but with
grim determination, preparing for
next fall.

Gearity Wants Dates in Oregon

Comrade Jack Britt Gearity, who
has finished his work in Seattle, is
about to return to Oregon. Comrade
Gearity desires either hall meetings
or outdoor work. Comrade Gearity
is one of the most brilliant men in the
Socialist movement, having served the
movement in the East in the capacity
of organizer, lecturer, editor and cam
paign manager. The fact that New
Castle, Pa, remains to this day a So
cialist stronghold is largely due to the
work done there by Comrade Gearity.
Gearity's terms are So per diem and
expenses. Write the State office for
dates.

kATTERFELD DELIVERS
INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE

Comrade Katterfeld's lecture, "The
Dawn of Plenty" given in Spokane,
was unusual in several respects. One
who was not clear thinker could not
have spoken as he did. There was no
attempt to strut before the audience.
Everything was made subservient to
the one purpose of speaking clearly
and UNDERSTANDABLE, and in this he
was eminently successful, for we have
heard no lectures in which the Sc
quence of thought, the conciseness of
arrangement, the simplicity and nat
uralness of the language, and the
force of the argument were better.
There was no lack of keen and inter
ested attention by the audience from
the first to the last word of this lucid
and convincing address. Comrade
Katterfeld is certainly one of the most
thoughtful and constructive organic
ers in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS So
cialist.

SOCIALIST ACTIVITIES IN NEW YORK

There are forty-five Socialist party
branches in Local New York. Only
four of these have not their own
headquarters, to which the members
can come at any time they wish, and
which become the Socialist center of
the immediate neighborhood. A piano,
sometimes a refreshment counter, a
bit of floor space for dancing and the
nucleus of a powerful branch has been
established. Nearly all of the
branches owning headquarters have
pianos in their clubrooms.
Every branch, or nearly every one,
has personality all its own. That
is sure sign of life, for without ac-
ton there can be no personality to any
organization, except the calm, serene
personality that attaches to a "dead
one" For instance, one branch is
pretty widely known as ''the mail Or
der branch" because a certain per-
centage of its members prefer, for
some reason not known, to send their
due books, with the monthly dues, to
the branch headquarters by mail. An
other branch is known as a highbrow
branch, because of the profound de-
bates and dissertations which it's

Party Paper Coming

Local Portland at its last meeting
voted to elect a committee of three,
composed of Comrades l.. G.. Boyd,
Alex. Frankel, d. Roudebush, and the
state secretary as a member ex officio,
for the purpose of finding ways and
means of starting a weekly Socialist
paper in Oregon. The committee will
recommend to special meeting of the
G. G. C. that the paper be called "The
Oregon Herald;" that the subscription
price be $1.00 per year, so cents for
6 months and 25 cents for 8 months.
1t was further decided to recommend
that the party paper be made regu-
lar order of business at each meeting;
that the state secretary and S. E. G.
be urged to boost the paper through
out the state; that the local organize
a competent mailing force, and that
the purchasing power Of the comrades
be organized and concentrated for the
benefit Of the paper. Comrade Victor
j. McCone was recommended as editor.
POrtland's Beautiful Banner Returned
Some years ago the party in Port
land was in possession of beautiful
red silk banner costing $75. During
one of the periods when the party was
down the banner passed out of it's
hands. A comrade secured it, and re-
tanned it with the object of returning
it to the party when the party regain
ed its ancient honor. May Day was
selected as the most fitting occasion
and to the tune of the international"
sung by the German Socialist Singing
society, the banner was triumphantly
carried into the hall at the May Day
meeting.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Send
your boy to school and he will get his
education on the way" There was
profound truth in that. Most stu
dents, and most all other persons,
learn more out of school than in
school-learn more from life than
from text books or other books.
Yet school books, and particularly
text books on language Con grammar,
on rhetoric, on English literature and
the like) do also profoundly influence
children and grown persons. They do
this not only in teaching how to read
and how to use the language correct
ly. They influence life also in the
examples of literature they give, and
in point of view that they consciously
or unconsciously encourage accept
ance of in the minds of the students.
Here is book on plain English"
by Mrs. Wharton, of The Peoples Col
lege, at Fort Scott, that is a refresh
ing departure from the usual meth
DDS. In the first place, it is a good
guide to the knowledge of good gram
mar and the correct use of words and
to good speaking and writing. In the
second place, and more important
from the standpoint of citizenship,
the sentences and the extracts from
literature that it gives for illustration
teach the right ideas. If you fill up
a book on the English language with
a lot of stale and sinister philosophy
of the rich and their parasites, you
have done great deal of harm. But
if you fill it up with the thoughts and
statements and extracts from litera-
ture that make persons think and
that give a true picture of life, you
have done a great deal of good.
| can unreservedly commend Mrs.
Wharton's book, plain English" for
working men and women and boys and
girls, and for everybody else who
wants education in English to be
founded on the truth concerning So
ciety and industry and life in general.

Northwest Worker
Dear Comrades: Pursuant to call,
the Socialists Of Skagit County met in
convention at Burlington, Sunday, 7th
inst, and | may say truthfully that |
never attended convention where
everyone was so filled with the desire
to do everything they could for the
cause. We nominated Comrades for
all offices except county surveyor and
uperintendent of schools, which will
be filled later by campaign commit
tee, when qualified Comrades can be
located. The women Comrades came
in for their share of the nominations,
showing that we Socialists live up to
our beliefs, when we say women are
mems equal. At noon an elegant din
ner was prepared by the women Com
rades, and for one hour we enjoyed
the pleasure of the good things of life,
and also of conversing with many of
our old Comrades and many new ones.
We had such an enjoyable time that
one could hardly realize that the day
had gone; and the time to say farewell
had come; but SO it was. But the mem
DRY of the splendid time will linger
for years with the writer, as l hope it
will with the rest of the Comrades.
