Turning the Tables.

The feminist age seems to have ar
rived with a vengeance. In Illinois
the women can vote, and now they can
wear the bloomers while bathing The
official bathing beach censor of Chi
cago has spoken.
Chicago's male bathers will wear
the skirts this summer while the
women splash merrily around in
boomers. The municipal bathing
costumes will stack up like this:
For Women-Bloomers. length or
shortness unlimited; a waist, no
stockings.
For Men-Ordinary bathing suits
bedecked with a short skirt about the
length of a cannibalS grass apron.
There is never any sure way to get
a line on the mental attitude of the
male population of any city, but if
the men of Chicago are not a lot of
mollycoddles they will tell the bathing
censor to take a jump in the lake or
something of that sort. Chicago men
owe it to their sex the world over to
turn down the skirt idea once and for
all.

We have read about Reims, Nancy, and

And other funny sounding towns, too

We have read about old Innsbruck, Ian

And we the columns marching in our

RECOMMENDS BLATCH-
FORD'S MOT GUILTY
Editor Northwest Worker:

Editor Northwest Worker;
| desire to call the comrades at
tention to a very useful book-"Not
Guilty"-a defense of the bottom dog
in which the author, Robert Batch
ford, with mastery logic sets forth
the doctrine of determinism.
| find a great many Socialists, even
some who know their Marx, who free
ly accept the law of determinism as
applied to nations or to society at
large, but apparently are unable to
see that the same memorable law APP
plies to individuals. To such | would
recommend careful reading Of mot
Guilty" and having once digested the
work, | am sure they would never
again blame individuals for any act
whatever. AS Blatchford so clearly
shows, we are the creatures of en-
vironment, past and present, and in
every act of our lives we follow the
law of all moving bodies-that is, the
line of least resistance We do not
blame the rattlesnake for biting, or
the tiger for seeking it's prey, but
when we consider our fellow beings
we forget that they too are animals.
Criminologists for many years past
have seen the basic truth of determ-
inism and have tried with some sue
cess to abolish the vengeful features
punish the evil-doer but change his
environment, and teach him better
ways. Get the book, comrades; read
it and lend it to your neighbors.

CAPITALISTIC SOCIALISM
Editor Northwest Worker:

Editor Northwest Worker:
The time has arrived in the Social
list party and movement when we can
no longer tolerate merely sympa-
thetic Socialists, or sympathetic So
cialism, the only kind the capitalist
and his followers are capable Of.
1t has been so long since the CAPT
talist has felt the sting of the class
struggle, if he ever did, that he has
entirely forgotten it; and, consequent
ly, never gets beyond sympathy, re-
CARELESS of how scientific he may
become through study.
Further: the very fact that he has
ing for, and depending on, the SYM
pathy of friend Capitalist to enamel
pate them, when if sympathy could
have emancipated the working class,
the church would have succeeded
soon after it's inception.
The Socialist movement is based on
economic material interests and not
sympathy; hence the impossibility of
sentimental Socialist.
He who would be a real Socialist
muse shun Socialist ear-ticklers and
get down to the study of Socialist
classics.
How many dues-paying members of
the Socialist party have read the
Communist Manifesto? And this is
the international platform of the
movement. And l might also add,
ethiopian and Scientific Socialism,"
and "Value, Price and Profit" as
these latter two are decidedly neces-
sary to the installation of class CON
seriousness in the worker.
The writer himself has read the
Manifesto over sixteen times; and. it
was quite necessary, for to the begin
ner Socialist textbooks deal in seem
ing paradoXes.
Yours to dispel sympathetic dreams
with class consciousness,

SEATTLE HERALD COMES
OUT IN TRUE COLORS
REPuoiATEs SOCIALIST PARTY

In its issue of Dec. S1st, the Seattle
Herald comes out openly in opposi-
ton to the Socialist party, taking its
place with the Single Tax and NUM-
cipal Ownership reformers, where It
has always belonged. The adoption
of this antagonistic policy by the Her
aid comes as no surprise to many of
us. In its very first issue it declared,
editorially, that it would support So
cialist candidates only when the Her
ald-not the membership of the party
had selected, or approved, of the
candidates.
In its issue of last Friday the Her
aid says:
"The Herald is not going to tell
you that Jones is the best man for
mayor simply because he carried a
red card in his pocket (and was the
majority's choice for the position)
1t is not going to insult you by insist
ing that the payment of Csc a month
into the treasury of political party
makes him the most competent to
care for the city's legal business or
keep its books. THE HERALD is
GOING TO BE TRUE TO THE
PEOPLE"
