Suggest Memorial Fountain

Friends of the late Miss Emily Webb
have started a movement to erect a
fountain in her memory. Mrs. W. w.
Murphy suggested the idea and it has
since been taken up by Miss Martha
England Murphy, daughter of Mrs.
Murphy, who is a sculptures. 1t is
proposed to make the cast of cement.
On it will be shown figures of animals,
heads of birds, horses and smaller
animals, such as squirrels.
The fountain will be used primarily
as drinking trough for horses, but on
the edge, above the trough, will be a
bathing space for birds. A sanitary
drinking bubbler will be provided.
Such details as the laying of pipes for
the fountain, its location. etc., will be
taken up with the Wilmington Fountain
Society, which has control of the foun-
tains in the city.

SAVE THE SHADE TREES

AS l walk or drive through our town,
the thing that impresses me the most is
the wholesale slaughter of our shade
trees. For what reason 1 wonder has oul
whole town turned enemy to this most
beautiful of Gods gifts? Surely our
forefathers planted in vain for our COM
fort and the beauty of our town.
cite Detroit, Mich, most beautiful
City where the very business section
abounds with shade trees and small
parks. Why make our business section
hideous?
see where Georgetown. Del, has
ordered 500 Norway Naples to be sold
at cost, so as to make Georgetown
beautiful. Cannot the property owners
of this town ''get busy" and see if a
very small expenditure of money will
not bring forth most pleasing result?
also put in plea for our country
places that the beautiful trees filling our
lawns be left unmolested. AS for the
practice of topping large trees l con-
slider it most harmful. Trees once
topped, forever loose their symmetry
and beauty, also often rotting where
the limbs are topped off. If trees are
too tall for safety, why not remove them
altogether and plant shapely new ones
that do not attain so great a height?
I quote from the North American:
cit is great thing to bring the country
look to any crowded part of the city.
1t is thing so great that many men
of wealth have given hundreds of
thousands of dollars to provide even
small parks, where trees may grow md
grass flourish and birds nest. 1t is the
final aim of every one who is trying to
make the city better place to live.
Shall we who live on the very heart
of the country do away with these
things? A SUBSCRIBER.

that the scarcity in one place could be relieved by the congestion of arr other, will be convenient enough for employees, and improve the efficiency of many plants.
 As far as relieving the industrial situation is concerned, it runs up against the toughest of snags in that there are not enough jobs to go around. Every man would like to get a job, but there are not jobs enough to give every man and ar employment bureau dividing up the jobs among the workers knows this beforehand.
 Now this is as it ought to be for capitalists.
 If there were enough jobs for everyone, what would the boss do when he wanted to discharge a man? How could he establish effic; ency systems culling the poorer workers, and keeping the more live. ly energetic and mere skilful?
 Capitalism depends upon large unemployed class. Else a strike would so tie up the industries that whatever labor demanded labor would have to get. And then there would be no profits, and if there were no profits there would be no production. It's the sole incentive under capitalism. Capitalism predi- cates a large number of men un- employed who are in direct compe- tition with one another and who sell their labor power for less than what it will produce, during the time for which it is hired.
 If there are more men than jobs lthe capitalist system runs smoothly Men are hired and fired and the system of capitalist selection pro ceeds we'll oiled. If the mon strike out of works take thcir places and are used as strike breakers. If there was work for every man, employer: would have to quit, that's all, ol else abolish the system-neither art to be thought of, and hence the ex istence of a large excesc of enl
 ployecs over employment must be standing conlitfon.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-01-08

It may appear strange that such an intense interest is taken in war news. Yet since interruption is taking place in communication with the Outside, it is very apparent even in Nome, that many persons simply do not care anything about the pa pcrs.
 For them local news has only a passing interest; and without their war news, they discover much that is wanting in the paper.
 It would be not only hypocritical but also very wrong thing to hold that this is due to the depraved taste of the readers. On the con- trary, it is significant of an instinct, i've feeling which almost all pos seas, that history of far-rcaching i'm portance, affecting the interests ei all nations, neutral or belligcrent, is in the making. And it is the in- stinct that is dormant in all which arouscs such an intense interest ir the war news and compels people to read it.
 Even in case of those whose views are distinctly and rabidly partizan it is because of the fact that they more strongly appreciate the req importance of the war upon the fiji ture, and have made the issue 6 somewhat personal matter in thai event
 Nothing going on at the prescn time, nothing that has happened within the present generation ha; been of such importance as khis war 1t had thrown the world and its iu stitutions into the crucible, and sub iected all to the test of fire, whence they may become either more puri fed and with less dross, or become permanently refractory and irredu cible to anything like elementary purity.
 And it is the humcn instinct tha' this is so, prevailing over and abov. nearer and what one might suppos; deGrer questions, which accounts fol the absorbing interest with whicf the people seek information as tc the progress of the war, and the avidity with which they consume the barest details.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-01-08

It is really absurd to sec socialists papers pretending. that the socialists of the belligerent nations opposed war, and are still opposing it. Or tho contrary they became in some some cases more m!litarist than the militarists themselves end they espoused this militcr:sm even while ctili attitud:nizing against capital ism. The war came like a cataclysm and found socialists all over unpre- parcd-or rather found the move ment in control of number of men who were bourgeois in scope of VI c.on. in environment and in habitat. and socialist only from superficial convictions.
 There is no use pretending what Is not so. and 1t is not so that the socialiDts anywhere except fin Italy vigorously opposed the war And
