SOCIALIST PARTY SENDS OUT
WATCH COUNT WARNING
The Socialist party, through Vic
tor L. Berger, Morris Hilquitt, Anna
A. ,Maley, John Spargo and John M.
Work, is sending out warning to
party members to watch the vote
count at the coming election. Their
warning reads in part:
There are many places where the
Old-party politicians would purpose
ly count us out if they could: There
are other places where they would
merely neglect to count our votes or
fail to count them correctly. We
would lose many thousands of votes
if we did not have watchers at. the
polls.
During the last four years num-
ber' of laws which are of benefit to
the working class have been passed
by congress and state legislatures.
This is due to the fact that the So
ciaIst vote took a big leap upward
in 1912. The rising Socialist vote
frightened these laws out of the
other parties.
1--WE can get equally tangible and
valuable results this year by making
a good increase in our vote. A large
increase will mean that many good
laws will be passed during the next
four years.
ct is therefore of the greatest i'm
portance that every Socialist vote
should be counted, even in the places
where we do not expect to elect our
candidates.. In the places where we
do expect to elect them, it is, Of
course, of equally great importance
to watch the count"

Verify, In Times of
Peace, AS Well AS In War,
Let Uncle Samuel Do 1t!

So, Uncle Sam has made over $1,000
600 profit by writing marine insurance
the past two years, because insurance
companies would not write insurance
against ships being destroyed by the bel
hgerents.
Two years ago the commercial ships
of the seas went scurrying to ports Of
safety.
II looked as If this nation were to have
no foreign trade, because private capital,
always a coward in war times and some
times traitor, simply would not take the
risk.
With commerce at standstil and pri-
vate capital in its hole, congress proposed
20 "Let Uncle Sam do it"-that is. 10
put Uncle Sam into the insurance bust
ness.
The proposition provoked a great howl
on the part Of those who maintain that
Uncle Sans interference with any sort
of private cinch is a crime against Coo
and man.
But President Wilson put the marin,
insurance plan through, opened it'll,
Office and has written over S127,O00, OOC
insurance on ships in two years at the
net profit mentioned above.

CarranZa's Move Is
Not Without Precedent

That the recently promulgated decree
OF General Carranza, requiring that all
foreigners who own or would own agri-
cultural or timber lands. or mines, or city
lots. or any kind of real property within
the republic Of Mexico. must make decla'
ration OF their intentions 10 become cltl-
zens of Mexico and renounce allegiance
10 their own countries. is unjust may be
true. but surely il is not unprecedented.
Ample precedent for Carranza's action
NAV be found in the laws or several OF
the United States. In Virginia, Illinois,
Tennessee. Iowa and South Carolina, as
well as other states, nonresident aliens
can hold land only by becoming resi-
dents.
The right of any sovereignty to pre-
scribe conditions under which II will per-
nit aliens to acquire and hold such prop
critics as are specifically listed IN Car
ranza's decree is undisputed under the
laws Of nations, and the common law.
The Mexican decree may differ in spirit
from the laws of our own states IN that
it's purpose is TO raise revenue for the
bankrupt Mexican government, but 1t dit
fers not one whit in the letter.
Carranza is clearly within his legal
rights and our Department Of State must
be cognizant of that fact.
To demonstrate against the action OF
the Mexican de facto government on the
grounds that it is an act not calculated
to foster friendly relations which should
exist between the two countries Is AL
right. but to violently protest-as is be
ing urged upon the Observation-Disclosures
the theory that the decree is unlawful,
unprecedented and confscatory would be
folly.
We would not be left leg upon which
10 stand when the firing ceased.

"A Few More Cases Like
That One In Idaho and
the Movies Are Doomed

The sentiment of the country has pref
ty well crystalized in favor of free and
uncensored motion picture films.
But il is up to the big movie directors
to exercise a voluntary censorship, else
there may be a sudden and unwelcome
reversal of that sentiment.
Up in Twin Falls, Idaho, the other day
two boys, brothers, aged ii and y, re-
spectively, brutally killed Thomas Hamill,
the vice-principal of the Carson, Nevada,
high school, at his country homestead.
Then they loaded Hamill's wagon with
bedding, supplies and regular arsenal
and started out on the strenuous life.
They actually travelled 120 miles before
being apprehended, stealing guns and
other things from the ranchers along the
way.
Officers say their ride was about the
widest and most hazardous on record in
that section of the country.
A generation ago, the putrid dime
novel came under the bane because of its
effect upon the mind and imagination of
childhood.
We reckon good many of our male
readers were licked for hiding the yellow
backs in the garnet and stealing up to
pore over them when they should have
been at Sunday-school.
We were, on divers occasions.
But we didn't succumb to trifles like
that.
Our imaginations properly fired by the
blood and thunder thrillers, We would
have started out on a care-free life of
brigandage most any time, only We didn't
know just how TO go about it.
The dime novel of yore was sadly lack
ing in illustrations.
The movies supply the deficiency; they
provide the modus operandi
Any l2-year-old boy, with Jesse James
inclinations and talent that way, can
( learn just how to achieve his ambition
by studying the feature films Of the side
street movies.
The boy-mind is receptive and the
surest way to reach the mind is through
the eye.
Let the adults feast on their vampire
and social.problem films if you will, but
let's diet the youngsters.
