rolled in the public schools in the
United States, therefore, the to-

child on the school population
basis (5-lS years of age) is 56.6
cents; the annual per capita cost

COMMANDMENTS LAID down
FOR ALL TRUE AMERICANS
Written by DR.. Joseph Silverman,
Rabbi Of Temple Emanu Ell,
OF New York City.

From an exchange are clipped
these ten commandments for all
true Americans, as laid down by
DIR. Joseph Silverman, rabbi of
Temple Emanu Ell, of New York
City:
First-I, the United States of
America, am thy nation, which
by the help of God has brought
thee out of the Land of Monar-
chy, out of the House of Bond
age.
Second-Thou shall have no
other nation before me. Thou
shalt not bow down to them. nor
serve them, for |, the United
States of America, claim thy love
and gratitude. shall punish the
iniquity of those who hate me,
and shall show kindness unto
those who love me and keep my
laws.
Third-Thou shalt not make
light of the laws of the United
States, thy country, for it will
not hold him guiltless who make
tn light of its name.
Fourth-During the six days
of every week in which thou lab
crest thou shalt honor thy coun-
try in all thy work; thou, thy
son, thy daughter, thy man SER
want, thy maid servant, and even
the stranger who has entered the
gates of thy country; and on the
seventh day on which thou keep.
est holy, thou shalt also pray for
the welfare of thy country. Il
Fifth-Thou shalt honor the
Constitution and flag of thy coun

RYAN WALKER
IN ST. LOUIS
The Socialist CartOOnist and Lecturer
Addresses a Well Attended Meet
ing at Central Trades Hall.

Comrade Ryan Walker was in St.
Louis, Veni, vidi, vici-came, saw, con-
quered! He made such a decided sue
cess of his ST. Louis work that the
comrades are unanimous in their eff
forts to get him back here at an early
date. He spoke at the Central Trades
and Labor Union Hall last Sunday,
under the auspices of the Socialist
Party. His illustrated lecture was a
masterpiece of Oratory and free-hand
cartoon drawing. The hall was al
most overcrowded with an audience
that had come to listen and to learn.
And Ryan Walker certainly did know
how to entertain them. Preparedness
and the present industrial system were
condemned by the speaker "Man is
the only animal that will starve in
the midst of plenty" he said, as he
sketched an unemployed Henry
Dubb" looking for a job Gan ami
NAL will go into a field and eat, re-
CARELESS of the ownership of the grass
which he finds, but man will starve
with wealth which his labors have
created all about him. The United
States annually spends millions to
fight mosquitoes because they spread
death and disease, but it spends far
more for an army and navy to spread
DEATH" he said, as the MOSQUITO and
soldier appeared on the board at which
ne was working. He then caricatured
the soldier with bitter satire.
lie dwelt at length on the extrava-
gance Of the rich, drawing personal
ties into his attack by mentioning the
S3,OOO,OO0 gift that descended on John
Jacob Aston, Jr., at the hour of his
birth. The fortune, he said, would
be increased until it reached 100000
700, when the child became of age. He
attacked William Astor, who recently
was made member of the English no
bllity by King George. Those who
opposed woman suffrage, he said
classed their mothers and sisters with
IDIOTS and convicts, who also are de-
MED the ballot. He urged the adop-
ton of woman suffrage to save the
children of the laborer from child la

THE SOCIALIST PRESS
By Dan Hogan.

l want to see the Socialist press
succeed everywhere.
Instead of having too many Social
list papers, as many often are heard
to say, we really haven't enough.
Folks who run Socialist papers do
not do SO for the money there is in it,
they run them because they have
something to say-because they
couldn't do otherwise.
Do not neglect your local paper. 1t
is needed 1t may not be large nor
imposing in appearance, but it helps
to keep your local movement on the
map and you should keep in touch
with it, and if it fails, don't let the
cause of its failure rest with you.
(Ryan Walker, Monroe, April -

TRUTH ABOUT
PARTY'S PROGRESS

There being a conflict of opinion re
garding the rise and fall in party
membership in this state during the
past four years, and the causes Of
growth and dminution, the secretary
of Local Everett No. 1 applied to the
State Office for authoritative infor-
nation on the subject. The statistics
furnished by our State Secretary are
of such value to the membership that
we asked permission to public Com
rade Katterfeld's answer to Comrade
Bonnevie's inquiry for the benefit of
our readers. Consent having been
given, we publish the facts in this is
sue. They are worthy of careful con-
sideration, and should be filed by all
party members for future reference.

WANTS EASTERN
WASH. REPRESENTED

North Yakima, Wn., Mar Ia, 16.
To the Comrades of the State of
Washington:
1t is my desire to speak to the party
members through the Northwest
Worker, in regard to the selection of
our State Executive Committee. 1t
is now quite late to offer this sugges-
ton, but hope to be able to convince
the various locals of the necessity of
electing one or more representatives
from our part of the state.
The eastern part of the state has
been neglected in this respect, and in
order that the committee may become
more efficient body, and that it may
be more nearly representative, it is
incumbent upon the membership, to
elect some good live comrade who lives
east of the mountains to serve on the
Executive Committee.
To make of the organization a COM
pact and efficient fighting machine of
the working class in our struggles
against the capitalist class, we need
to get into closer relation with each
other. To do this we need represen-
tatives from various sections of the
state. Heretofore it has been party
dominated by the coast counties, and
principally by the cities that hover
along the Sound. 1t has not been well
represented by members from the
plateau across the divide, and, there
fore l urge that the membership vote
for Comrade Ed Maurer, of North
Yakima, who is Secretary of Local
North Yakima.
Comrade Maurer is the most effici-
ent secretary we have ever had, and
is thorough class conscious rebel,
and is well grounded in our economic
philosophy. He is an ardent
anti-militarist, a member of the
Painters Union, in good standing, and
former Secretary of the Labor Council
here. Under his work we have been
able to build up the largest member
ship our local has ever had since my
affiliation with it. He is not ambi-
tious to seek any office, the good of
the cause being his ambition.
Hoping that this communication
may not be too late to be of service
in deciding your ballot, 1 extend fra
ternal greetings across the range that
has kept us isolated from the real
heart of the movement.
Yours for the Social Revolution,
FRANK G. McMURRY,

A DECISIVE BATTLE

1t is necessary to make clear, what
has so often been stated before, that
we are not discussing the question of
whether labor legislation and similar
laws in the interest of the proletariat,
and unions and co-operatives are nee
essary and useful or not. There are
no two opinions among US on that
point. What is disputed is the view
that the exploiting class, who control
the power of the state, will permit
such development of these factors,
as will amount to abOlishing capital
list oppression, without first making
such a resistance, with all the means
at its disposal, that it can be abolished
only through decisive battle.-Karl
Kautsky.
