Perhaps there is not Socialist any,
where but who realizes that we have
a tremendous amount of educational
work to do before labor can come in
to its own. Nor will he deny that to
educate successfully we need an eff
cient and militant Socialist party or
ganization. Yet many Socialists con-
tent themselves with merely voting
the ticket and by that act pretend that
they have done and are doing their
full duty
We are, of course, conscious of the
fact that many of those who vote the
Socialist party ticket do so merely
out of protest against a condition
from which they suffer but do not
understand. Such would not yet make
desirable members of our party, but
they are susceptible to our philosophy
Aside from these there are many
thousands of well-informed Socialists
in the United States who do not be-
long to the party, and for several diff
ferent reasons. Some are mental
towards, they are afraid it will hurt
their business or make it difficult for
them to get or hold a job. These
need to stimulate their courage, 9TH
erwise they will remain worse than
useless in the social revolution Be-
sides, Socialists with selfrespect and
courage enough to express their con-
victlons find it no harder to make a
living than those who have not. Some
claim they cannot afford to pay dues
In some instances this is a plausible
bjection-eXcept that such could use
the exempt stamp. In entirely too
many instances those giving this ex-
cuse need merely to sit down to a
few less card games, attend a few
less picture shows, play a little less
Of pool or billiards, curtail their con-
sumption of candy, chewing gum and
tobacco--quit indulging their appetites
in any of the excuses which do them
actual harm.
One occasion comes to mind where
asked a Socialist to pay up his back
dues-amOunting to 5000 He in
formed me that he could not afford
to do so. About an hour later 1 had

Prof Kincaid showed about one
hundred interesting slides, beginning
with fossil remains of prehistoric mjn
together with their tools Of prodJc-

stone tools of the earliest stone age,
the so-called paleolithic period of
mans history; then the later polished
and worked stone of the neolithic
period, during which the lake dwell
ers appear upon the worlds stage.
Following this interesting and in
structive exhibit, number of views
of ancient Egyptian and Assyrian life
were shown, illustrating the archi-
lecture and methods of agriculture of
that period.
At the conclusion of the lecture a
number of questions, covering wide
range of subjects, were asked and
entertainingly answered by the speak

evoked much laughter.
Prof Kincaid has agreed to come
to Everett soon and give his celebrat,
ed lecture on Ants" He is one of the
worlds highest authorities on ento-
mology as well as on biology, and the
privilege of hearing such a speaker is
one that doubtless will be taken ad-

contrive, planned and electer by labor
yet, whose labor? 4
Think,
Did those sleek, weuaa fed, satisfied
people ever labor in flsld or forest; in
mine or factory; in the quarries, on
the streets of the cities or the roads
of the country? Did they ever, by the
sweat of their brows, help produce
them happy and satisfied and that
makes this old world look so lovely
to them?
You say, No, never, never They
are business men and society ladies.
They are leading citizens. They be-
long to the ruling class.
All, ha! you hesitated there a little,
didn't you? What struck you any
way? Did something pierce that skull
of yours, just as it did mine a few
years ago? If so, Glory and Hallelu-
jah! But let us pick up the thread
again and carry it a little farther.
We agreed also that those sleek peo-
pie never labored and yet they ride
in the best of cars, wear the finest
of clothes, eat the most delicious and
nutritious food and live in the best
dwellings that labor can produce. In
short they enjoy the use of the best
of all the things produced by labor
yet they themselves never labor,
They belong to the ruling class. We
mentioned that expression a few mo-
ments ago. Let us consider that ex-
preston and, in so deing, we shall,
for convenience sake, reconstruct it a
little and say that they belong to the
class that rules. Next, then, we must
ask: What does it rule? Neither an
individual nor a class composed of
individuals can rule without having
something to rule Now what is that
something? There can be only one
answer THEY RULE PEOPLE.
Then, you say, there are two classes
the class that rules and the class that
is ruled And for a certainty. you are
right.
Though comparatively few in num-
Der, they, who collectively constitute
the ruling class, rule the world with
an iron hand this very day. At their
command, millions in every land on
the globe, labor through long days and
dreary nights in field and forest, mine
and factory, in city and country, and
at their command these toiling mil.
lions also hand over to that same
ruling class all that their labor pro
duces-some a meagre share, often
not enough for them to subsist upon
These untold riches-worthy products
of human endeavor-are wantonly
squandered by that needless, useless
master class in endless, senseless
rounds Of pleasure or in boundless
bells of revelry and debauchery while

ARE YOU ONE?
CONTINUED From Last Week.

Continued From Last Week.
Friend and comrade, we set out de-
termined to learn to understand each
other before we quit. How much of
this have we accomplished? Are we
any nearer to an understanding now
than we were a few moments ago
in field and forest; in mine and quar-
ry; in the cities and out through the
country producing by the sweat of our
faces all that the world needs to make
it blossom like the rose? Let us hope
so. Somebody else has, somehow,
come into possession of that which
you, by your labor, produced and uses
that product for his or her special
benefit Did you get that? You did?
Well, believe it, too. Very well Then
who is that somebody? Think! You
remember the automobile that came
putting around the corner almost run
ming you down and splashing mud and
sand all over you? You remember it
well and you recall also that it was a
fine car-beautiful to look at-work-
ing admirably. And the people who
rode in it whom you saw through a
shower of mud and sand, they were
fine, towel clothed, well fed, and,
to all appearances, perfectly well sat
isfied with themselves and the world.
This old world looked good to them
fine and lovely!
Think of that fine car and those
fine people. AS you do so you will, |
know, admit that you have, directly
or indirectly, helped to make, by your
own labor, practically all of the things
from which that beautiful machine is
made and that keeps it moving-the
steel, the brass, the copper, the wood,
the paint the gasoline. You have al
so helped make, by your labor, all the
fine and costly things that those fine
people are wearing; the nutritious and
delectable food that makes them look
so well fed and satisfied; and the
beautiful houses they live in and call
their own. Yes you have and you
have made also hundreds of other
things similar to those mentioned
above that other fine, satisfied people
use and wear. Yet have you ever in
your lifetime come into possession of
and benefited by any Of these fine
things that you helped to make? You
studied yourself a few moments ago.
Do so again. And when you are
| through, remember once more that
fine car and those fine people. They
ride in the finest and most perfect
car that money can buy-made by
labor-yet, whose labor? They wear
the finest clothes that money can buy
made by labor-yet whose labor
| They eat only the choicest food money
can buy-produced and prepared by
labor--yet, whose labor? They live
in the most beautiful and magnificent
dwellings that human ingenuity can

Our School Campaign
J. G.. Mckee

In former years on the approach of
the annual school election, I have
made use of these columns to prove
to the working class that the capture
and control Of the schools by the
workers would prove powerful weap-
on for their emancipation.
The truth of this assertion is appar-
ent, if from no other reason, that the
capitalist class grudgingly yields up
every inch of ground to the onslaught
of the Socialists to get control of this
power Mark Hanna used to say that
the public school was one of the two
great props of the capitalist system.
guess you all know what he consid-
cred the other one. The working
class wants power, industrially, po-
litically and educationally. Socialist
school boards, to certain degree,
give this power.
But how can this power be best
conserved and used when once Sc
cured?
To this very end was our Socialist
Teachers Bureau established. Every
Socialist board should do business
and select teachers through this bu-
reau. The name of the secretary is

teachers from the persecution of CAPT.

LECTURER RIDES ENGINE

During the recent record-breaklng
SHOWS on Puget Sound, a train carry

list lecturer now touring this state,
was stalled in the snow drifts many
miles from Everson where she was
billed to speak. The engine was I'M

Mrs. Lockwood is to speak in Cou-
lee City on Sat, Feb. ~, and in Will
bur on Sunday. The Socialists in
charge of her tour say that it will
take more than fire, flood or snow
to make her disappoint an audience.
Mrs. Lockwood's tour covers one
hundred cities in Washington in one
hundred days. So far she has not
missed a date, thanks to an obliging
engineer.

prepared to protect Socialist school
boards from imposition by incompe-
tent or traitorous Socialist teachers.
A Socialist teacher may be incompe-
tent, lack executive ability, and should
be placed, if at all, with great care
with Socialist boards. 1t is difficult
to retain the Socialist power in a dis
trict and overcome such an incumber-
ance. Our secretary is also prepared
to protect Socialist school boards from
being imposed upon by traitorous So
cialist teachers. Very often young
teachers who have trouble to secure
their first school think they see a way
here to play little game and to a
Socialist board they will pose as a
Socialist, often even going so far as
joining local. This is a very COM
mon trick. Some of them know moth
ing more about economics or the la
Dor movement than a Hottentot. I

The second lecture in the series Civ

was especially good considering the
fact that not only were the sidewalks

er had gone to press, so it could not
be announced to our readers that the
eminent biologist, Prof. Trevor Kin
caid, of the state university, would
give an illustrated lecture on the in
dustries of prehistoric man.
Prof. Kincaid took for his theme,
as announced in the daily papers,
Economic Evolution" which was
somewhat misleading, perhaps This
fact did not escape the notice of the
lecturer himself, as he jokingly adj
mitted that he had no intention of
bringing coal to Newcastle" his sub
ject dealing exclusively with the arts
and industries of man in the stone,
copper and bronze ages, and the very
early portion of the iron age. He did
not touch upon economic evolution in
historic times, discussing the subject

on for forty minutes. In that time he
had lost one dollar Our contention is
that it would have developed more
self-respect and made a better Social
list of him to have spent that money
to keep himself in good standing in

Others contend that they have
worked so long and so hard that they
have become discouraged and have
made up their minds to wait until the
rest of the working class show some
interest in their own affairs. To these
we say that if Socialism is worth
having it is worth working for and
fighting for. Besides if those of us
who are organized also laid down on
the job and quit, how would you who
are unorganized and asleep like it?
Well, the triumph of the Socialist
movement will bring no more to us

of life, lie PROSTATE and begging at
their feet
In view of these facts-for facts
they are-do you think it fair to say
that they who belong to the class
that rules are robbers in the full I'M
modified sense of that word? If so,
what else could you call those toiling
millions whom they rule and rob but
their victims. There is no avenue
of escape from this logic. Now think,
how is robbery usually performed?
| What means do those following that
occupation almost invariably resort to
in order to make their demands effec-
tive or to protect themselves and their
spoils should the victims show any
indications of resistance? You very
frankly admit that you are we'll ac-
quainted with those means and meth
DDS. Very well, then, do you think
| it probable and reasonable that these
toiling millions, who are constantly
being skinned and fleeced, will finally
grow tired of this infamous skinning
and Fleeing and decide to end it all
by deposing, by force if need be, that
useless and parasitic ruling class that
so senselessly squanders the products
of their toll and so prevent them from
reaping the benefit of the wealth they,
| by their own labor produce?
THEY ARE ROBBERS!
If, after earnest reflection, you come
to the conclusion that there is pos
sibilty of such resistance on the part
of the toiling millions-or the robbed
and fleeced part of the human race
what do you think that the ruling
class, who benefit by that robbing
and Fleeing, would be most apt to
do? Think They are robbers-in
the full, unmodified sense of that
word. AS such would they not most
likely resort to robbers means and
methods?
Resort to robbers means and meth
DDS!
1T behooves you, my hungry, rag
ged, homeless, hopeless, friendless,
comrade so think and study until you
thoroughly understand what those few
words really mean. Robbers means
and methods-sharp, glistening steel
land screaming shells, and sputtering
guns. 1t takes men---human beings
to WELD belching guns and suffering
rifles, to jam lead and steel and pow
der into roaring cannon. They who
constitute the ruling and robbing class
and squander what toiling millions
have produced; they who neither toll
nor spin, yet live in luxury and ease
for them you have toiled and gone
ragged; for them you have hungered

friendless, homeless and hopeless and,
at last, have become an outcast among
