do not feel that they received an &C
curate count for the reason that four
years ago, when almost no campaign
ing was done, the average vote for
each candidate was a little more than
twelve hundred, some receiving as
many as 1850 and 1,435 This year,
after a fair distribution of leaflets
and far better campaign work, we are
given" only about five-sixths as
many votes. Alas the ways of Cap
itahsm are most strange and deceiv-
ing!
This defeat has not discouraged
nor disheartened the comrades, and
they are determined that no time
shall be lost in regrets, but will bend
every effort to spread the truths of
Socialism and swell the vote at the
next election in Thurston county.
Yours for the Cause.

1t is hard to think Of great ideas
and ideals without linking them with
some great personality who incar-
mates them When we think Of the
modern woman, the feminist move
ment in all its various aspects, we
must inevitably encounter the name
of Mrs Charlotte Perkins Gilman
For she is the embodiment Of all
that is good IN feminisn.
She is one Of the worlds most re
rowned women. Gifted rs an author,
lecturer, poet, and social reformey,
her giant intellect towers 70 the sub
lime heights of that reached by Su-
san Il. Anthony, Mary Livermore,
Jualia Ward Howe, Selma Lagerf,
Ellen Key, who have contributed
monuments to civilization.
- Her versatility of character and
mind has given US many good books
of prose and poetry. Her interest in
the Child Welfare movement, Woman
]
home to higher planes of living, has
been felt, nation wide. Her influence
lis not only national but international,
as witnessed by the translation of
her works into German, Dutch, Rus
sian, Hungarian and Japanese Ian
guages, three of her books being used
in colleges.
OF her William Dean Howells
wrote: "She has written some of the
best civic satire since the Bigelow
papers"
William Marion Reedy, in his Mir
ror, had this to say in her praise:
"She has the variegated intellectual
activities of Samuel Butler or a Vol
taire. She writes novels, poetry, phil
osophical essays, plays. She writes,
edits and publishes, all by herself,
the Forerunner, a monthly maya
zine packed full of the variously ex-
pressed thought of the most adj
vanced feminism. Her work is that of
social expositor. She is for human
fprogress, but concentrates upon the
progress of women because their
present position is the worlds STUN
bling block. Woman, as at present
statused, are drag upon themselves
and men, too. She is unafraid of any
fact. Her theory is 'anarchical' in
that it would supplant natural for ar
bitrary law"
In her book on woman and Econ
omics' she gives US a picture of the
freest economics, of the home in
which the woman is not a mere do
mestic drudge. She sees that the eco
nomic dependence of women has been
"a check upon the progress Of the hu-
man soul. To quote: "The main fea-
ture in the woman's life-the restric-
ton of her range and duty to the love
and service of her own immediate
family-acts upon us continually as
a retarding influence, hindering the
expansion of the spirit of social love
and service on which our very lives
depend"
She stands for the unvarnished
truth as to sex, as check upon Ii
cense. She appeals to honest and con-
scientious women who can think and
feel. She is possessed with an analy-
teal brain, a poetic feeling, and a
philosophical sweep of magma
ton. She sees clearly distinctly, and
is a discriminating thinker and
writer. Her doctrine Of sex and fam
lily life is wholly in accord with the
laws of nature. To her man-made
laws deserve only contempt when they
interfere with the laws which are for
the well-being of the human race.
First and foiemost, she fights for the

MRS. CHARLOTTE PERKINS-GILMAN
THE MODERN WOMAN
GAN APPRE CIATION.)

right of the child, and, therefore,
self-evidenny, for the rights Of the
mother
She belivees in the happiness of the
race and holds firmly that it is the
right Of every human being to be
happy, but not indulgent. 1t is very
clear to her mind that happiness
comes only from natural living, and
that one human beings right to hap
piness shall cease when it infringes
on the right Of another person to hap
piness.
! She does not exalt the mind to the
detriment Of the body, nor does she
consider the body inferior to the soul
She would have every individual fully
developed. She would give opportu-
nifty so that all the instincts and ca
pacities will function. She is a social
list because she is an individualist. So
calism is the means whereby the in
dividual will realize himself
She has accepted the challenge of
men; Women fight for your freedom,
so that you may be in a state of mind
to properly appreciate your achieve
ment, and she is constantly and I'M
tiringly directing her appeal to other
women to take up the cudgel for their
own emancipation. She does not desire
women to become masculine and I'M
womanly, but she wants them regard
ed as companions, comrades, free and
equal human beings. To quote one of
her verses on this point:
Gear not the coming woman, brother,
Owning herself, she giveth all the
more!
She shall be better woman, wife and
mother,
Than man hath known before"
While she wants woman won back
from the industrial turmoil to the
home, she will not submit to enslave-
ment in the home. She hates degrad-
ing domesticity, and abhors all that is
base in love and life. Social conditions
must permit the full and free express
sion of the powers of individuals.
Women must have the right to per-
sonal independence, not only acknowl-
edged, but ratified and approved Her
demand is for higher living, clean,
pure lives. She would have humanity
live like real comrades in soul-com-
partnership.
The modern woman is the woman
with social vision, who aligns her
self with the forces that will even
tually translate the vision into real
ity.
Mrs. Gilmans own vision is con-
tanned in this choice poem by her own
pen:
She Who Is to Come
"A woman-in so far as she behold
eth
A mother-with a great heart that
enfoldeth
The children of the race;
A body, free and strong, with that
high beauty,
That comes from perfect use, is built
thereof;
A mind where reason ruled over
duty, !
And justice reigns with Love;
A self-poised royal soul, brave,
wise and tender,
No longer blind and dumb;
A human being of an unknown
splendor,
Is she who is to come"

THE LAST STRAW.

The old adage which says 1T the last straw that broke the
cames back has been fully demonstrated the of Uncle Sam
when Villa crossed the border and sacked the little village of Com

Mexican bandits but there always limit Uncle Sam reached

another Wyer Whether Villa will be disposed of in the or
similar manner that Wyler was, remains to be seen.
The sovereignty of the Mexican republic depends entirely upon
Carranza If he acqusces President Wilson's purpose of punish
ing the offender and assists then the re
ons between this and that of Mexico will be benefited
rather than harmed Otherwise Caranza and his government
may be thrown into the Villa trap that will long drawn out

Carranzas we'll AS long maraudng bandits like Villa go

governments And at this wish repeat what have

The pacicaon of Mexico will be small job and that
