Socialism proposes to end the war
in the trenches by ending the war in
the shop! AS long as the master
class control the wealth producing
machines just so long will we have a
preparedness for war and profits.
How long will that be? Just as long
as labor sells it's power upon a COM
petitive basis and buys it's life's ne
cessities upon a monopolized market
SO long will commercial wars last.
Either you will for once and for all
CEASE your hopeless struggle with

ery-either you will make the machine
your slave or its owner will make you

Watkins Organized


A charter application was received
last week from Watkins, with the
names of 25 comrades upon it. The
organizer Comrade Bruce Buck, states
that Socialist sentiment is widespread
and that organization is easy to effect
once the Socialists can be reached.
Charters were also granted to Maple

Publishing Company to BE Formed
The comrades of Portland intend to
form stock company for the purpose
Of conducting and publishing their
proposed weekly paper. The State
Secretary journeyed to Astoria re-
Gently for the purpose of confering
with the Finnish comrades engaged in
the Socialist publishing business
there. Many valuable ideas were
gathered, and enthusiastic co-opera-
ton on the part of the Finnish COM
rades was promised. The Oregon
comrades may look for the appearance
of the first issue sometime before La
Dor Day.
Duncan Ferguson Joins the Catholic
Church
Duncan Ferguson, of Astoria, once
the leader Of Socialist activities in
Clatsop county, has joined the Catho-

Ferguson was once candidate for
Mayor of Astoria on the Socialist
ticket and came quite near being elect
ed. While in the movement he was
honored with the confidence and re-
spect of the membership and seemed
to have promising future, but adver-
sity seems to have destroyed his for
mer balance and today he stands with
the Goldstein-Avery- Collins outfit-a
traitor to the cause of Labor.
Astoria Firms Lead
The Finnish comrades in Astoria
lead the rest of the state in real eff
fective propaganda work. Every Sun
day squads of them cover the whole
city with leaflets, American Socialists
and Appeals. The English comrades
continue to pay dues and maintain
their organization financially, but they
seem to lack enthusiasm, as no meet
ings have been held for six months.

then continues in similar vein and
makes a very interesting example of
radical propaganda.

George Murphy, colored, residing
at the corner of Blount and Hayne
streets, Saturday shortly after noon,
shot himself in the head, causing his
death almost instantly. The first bull
let which he had evidently intended
should end his miseries on this earth
did not fire, as the pistol, which lay
at his side when relatives and friends
rushed in his room after the shot was
heard, was found to hold cartridge
which had been snapped but which
had not exploded.
Murphy, according to the story told
Mounted Officer Brewton, who inves-
tfgated the report after it had been
telephoned the station by Oscar John
son, colored, had planned to take his
life on account of continued ill-health.
He is said to have told friend and
also one of his little boys that he was
going to kill himself if he could not
get better.

Virginia Pearson in Daredevil Kate"
Isis Today.
The story of a woman's rise from
proprietor of small saloon in the
west to wife of an eastern clubman
is told in William Fox's new picture
which features Virginia Pearson,
Daredevil Kate
The workmen at Devils Gap are
dissatisfied with the treatment they
receive from their eastern headquar-
ters, so they cause trouble which re-
suits in the bringing to their town
of several fasteners. One of these
is Cliff Stone, another is irene West,
Stones adopted sister, and the third
is John West, Irene's husband. Stone
and West are to take over the man
agement of the western works of the
company. Kate at first takes sides
with the new arrivals, for she has
fallen in love with Cliff Stone. But
Irene's unwarranted interference in
their romance turns her against the
intruders, and she decides to help the
| miners, and not the managers.
When the whole plan is about 10
reach its climax and Kate is about to
expose to the owner of the mine just
how easily she can control his eastern
employees, she discovers that Irene is
her own sister, from whom she had
been separated years before. So she
turns the tables on the miners, holds
them up to ridicule instead of the
men they had been plotting against,
and establishes West and Stone firm
~ with their company.
Incidentally, she agrees to marry
Cliff Stone.

NEW ROUTE TO CITY

Although there has been no official
announcement to that effect, it is ru-

Railroad Company is contemplating
changing the route of the P. &
A. Division as it enters the city.
This will be done, it is said, in order
to avoid REPETITION of storm dam
ages suffered in the past.
The proposed new route would
leave the present line just west of
Turner's camp, proceeding in north
westerly direction, passing through
the residential section of Magnolia
Bluff. Another route which, it is
said, is being considered, would leave
the main line near Ferry Pass, COM
ing westward, south of Goulding into
the city.
Surveys are said to have been made
through Magnolia Bluff.

She has suffered some storm dam
