What is a practical man in the
White House or Buckingham Palace
or Fotsdam or the Elysee? He is the
man who solemnly dedicates his ma

brotherhood, the day after tomorrow.
lie is the man who is eager to COOP
q a,e Win all other rulers and nations
in the .aDols of civilization some time.
&c is The man who would abolish the
dread a bitrament Of war and put in
its place a world court, but not on the
next special occasion. He is the man
who believes in the rights of the little
nations with the sole exception of the
little nation around the corner. He is
the man who applauds all efforts in

Politicians Who Sought To Fool
Farmers Lost $500 on Car
load From Argentina

CHICAGO Among the receptions
practiccd ON the gull,hle voter by the
issueless party during the recent cam
paign none was more spectacular
than the importation of 100000
bushels of Argentine corn says The
Public. 1t combined vividncss of
imagination and boldness of execu-
ton worthy of the party at its best
in the post bellum days, and it laid
bare credulity that would have been
conspicuous in the middle ages.
To convince the American farmer
that nothing but Republican high
tariff could keep the world from his
door it was announced that because
the Democrats had put corn on the
free list, arrangements had been
made for the importation of 100000
bushels of Argentine corn-with an
unlimited amount TO follow.
Take Picture of Car
And in order that voters too dense
to visualize this calamitous condition
from the statement might be made to
grasp the fact, photograph of a car
labeled "Argentine corn" billed to Pc
oria, Ill.,, was published. This car
load of corn delivered in Peoria n few
days before election was occular proof
that Argentina was ready to starve
us to death by dumping her corn on
us.
There is little doubt that the trick

THE RIGHT MAN
FOUND AT LAST

Following is sworn statement of
a man who experienced many years
of suffering at the hands of doctors
who made him believe that they
could relieve him of his suffering.
Read it carefully and be guided there
by:
C. X. Knight first being duly sworn
on oath deposes and says that he
suffered from Sciatic Rhuematism for
long time; that he was treated by
Drs. Thompson, Parsons, Beatty and
Little, and without help; that he then
consulted Drs. Williams who were I'M
able to help his treatment: that he
then heard of DR.. D. Feldman, con-
suited him and began taking his treat
ment. He now is entirely we'll and
able to, and does, perform hard labor
as he did before being affected with
Rhuematism. That he highly recon-
mends to any suffering with Rheuma-
tism or other similar troubles to take
DR.. Feldman's treatment, and he is
certain that they will be cured.
This statement is made free and
voluntary, and without consideration.
Signed, C. H. Knight.
Subscribed and sworn before me
this 21st day of November 1916.
Signed R. J. Fausett.

Faith or Fact ?

Feeling is the motor power which
set in motion the forces that move
animate things. Intellect is the SUI
perintendent with the directing abil-
ity which makes the movement a
move for good. Lack of intellect
makes the move a move for i'll. Mans
problem is to learn to use his intellect
in directing the motor power of So
cial feeling in the channels where
the result will be the greatest good
to all.

PAT QUINLAN
EXPOSES PRE2 ON
Reveals Medieval Conditions in
Trenton institution That
Blacken New Jerseys
Lax Citizenship

Once more a free man, after having
served n long part Of n seven-year
term which was itself an outrage
against justice. Pat Qunlan is back in
the ranks of the fighters for social
liberty and the Socialist common
wealth. The prison cell, confined his
body, but it could not put the shakes
to his mind. And Pats first saluta-
ton to the political towards that
railroaded him to Jail for several of
the best years of his life, is to show
to the people of the United States
what disgraceful pen and a blot up
on Notwithstanding civilization ESQ
called is the Trenton Jail. Qunlan's
expose appeared in a recent number
of the Appeal to Reason, and should
be given countrywide publicity.
Prominent among the charges that
Pat brings against the Trenton hell
hole are the following:
1t is said by competent investiga-
tors to be another Leavenworth pris-
on, and the worst in the country, and
rivaled only by the contract prisons
of the south and the Siberian dun
geons.
1t is dollhouse of vicious brutality,
vengeful petty officials, grating up
on the incarcerated unfortunates and
administrative stupidity.
Putrid Food
! The coffee was called "boot- leg" by
the prisoners and was little better
than ditch-water; the frankfurts given
them were in a putrescent state, al
ready green and tainted, and rejected
by the hungry men. "The corned
beef was usually the worst that the
stockyards could supply" Despite the
fact that the legislature appropriated
plenty of money for food this is the
stuff handed out; WHERE DOES
THAT FOOD MONEY GO TO?
Is it at all surprising that the
prison should be one large hospital of
men i'll by the vile treatment accorded
them? Is the person Of the prison to
make all men that enter it's portals
rabid enemies of society? Or is it to
make them better and more fit citi-
zens? If the purpose is the first
named, it could be no better accom-
plished than by the Trenton method!
Primitive Sanitation
Of the sanitation, the less said the
| better. The stencil literally rises tc
high heaven. All this despite changes
ordered by the Board of Health. And
to add to fifth the lack of the most
elementary facilities one form of pun.
ishment includes combining a man fol
six days without any sanitary or law
atory convenience whatsoever! What
special reformatory purpose this un.
wholesome piece of perversity on the
part of the officials can serve it is
hard to imagine.
Quinlan's story is almost too re-
voting to relate. That it should ex-
list in this enlightened age in a suppos-
eddy most enlightened country on the
globe is smear upon our boosted
culture. 1t all comes down to this
Are our prisons Institutions of ven
geance and malice, or are they design
ed to make better persons of the I'M
fortunate within their walls? And
what is the American people going to
do about it?

Revelation or Revolution?

young-yet wild animal population

the limitations of food supplies. One
Of the first steps in securing progress
is to remove the barrier of limited

The Northwest worker. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1915-1917, 1917-01-18

No animal except man has succeed
ed in removing the barrier of a linn
tied food supply. Mankind has solved
this problem by the use of intellect
in invention, agriculture, machinery,
ETC., etc. This accounts for the pro-
gress of man and the non-progress
of the other animals.

HEAD OF THE FOREST
SERVICE NOW IN FRANCE.

Washington, D. c., July 3.-Announce-
ment of the arrival of Henry S. Graves,
Chief Of the U. S. Forest Service, in
Paris has led the Department of Agri-
culture to explain that Mr.. Graves has
gone abroad to make arrangements for
the forest work which the American
army engineers will undertake in France
in connection with the military opera
tions of the allied forces.
Because of the opportunity for service
by this country in woods work inciden-
tai to the war which the request Of the
British Government for the sending Of e
forest regiment was believed to present,
Mr.. Graves has been granted leave OF
absence from his position as head of the
Forest Service and has received a COM
mission as Major in the Reserve Engi-
neer Corps. He has not been assigned
to any command, but is acting under
instructions, it is stated, to proceed to
France in order TO learn on the ground
in advance Just what conditions will
need to be met, what equipment will be
called for, and how extensively the SER
vices of American lumbermen can be
utilized to advantage. Meanwhile the
recruiting of the regiment which has al
ready been asked for is being pushed by
the Forest Service and is said to be ad
vancing rapidly.
One of the staff officers of the regi
ment, Capt. Darlington Moore, is with
Mr.. Graves for the purpose of arranging
for its prompt assumption of the specific
duties to which it will be assigned when
it is landed in France. While organ
lied on military lines, the work of the
regiment will be industrial, not combat
ant. 1t will operate in the woods be-
hind the armies, getting out timbers,
ties and lumber required for military
purposes.

CHAUTAUQUA
A Patriotic Institution. The Program is
the Best the Standard Has
Ever Put Over.

Perhaps the greatest force for patriot
ism among American institutions today,
Is the Chautauqua. 1t is solidly behind
the Red C-oss, the Defense League, the
| Bond Issue, the Boy Scouts and Enlist
ment. Every member of the Standard
Chautauqua System has purchased a
bond, and the System has pledged itself
to back the President in every way.
The Chautauqua that will come to Gus
ter this year is intensely patriotic, even
the Junior Chautauqua making patriot
ism its first object. The program is the
best the Standard has ever put oyer, in
Guiding the finest artistry in the coun-
try. Seven of these numbers have been
given at the great Epworth Assembly at
Lincoln, the second largest Chautauqua
in the country and every attraction has
been in Chautauqua for years The FIRST
day will start out big and each day will
| increase the tension. The Fisk Jubilee
Singers, the famous White Hussars, the
Old Fashioned Girls, the Kuehns, the
Boyds and the Chicago Orchestra can't
be beat The Hon. Leslie Shaw as a
lecturer is in class by himself and no
man on the platform today is better in
formed on things governmental and his
method of putting the goods across the
counter is unique. The lovable, sweet
and wonderful DIR. John Fox, Hindus
the Russian, Gabriel, the Irish orator,
and Harmon, the inspirational and pat
riotic lecturer, are galaxy of speakers
that no Chautauqua can duplicate. For
several years the Standard has wanted
cartoonist, and we have him in the last
night in the genius Ross Crane. Folks,
the Standard never handled better stuff
nor stronger talent-every one aspatriot
1t is costing the System more money to
put this program across, than that of last
year, but the price of tickets remains the
same. Chautauqua has on her war paint
this year and backing every patriotic in
stitation yociferously.

In accordance with warning sent out
from Washington that there is sufficient
danger of real hardship to consumers of
coal next winter to call for an energetic
effort on the part of all citizens to make
use of wood for fuel, the local Forest
Office has been instructed to call atten-
ton to the residents of the Forest to the
fact that the wood supply for next win
ter should be cut during the summer
season, so that there will be no fuel
shortage. Residents of Custer who have
had difficulty during the past few
months in securing wood should make
ample provision during the summer
months by purchasing green wood fuel
and piling it up to season. This will
provide an ample supply for next winter
and relieve the situation in case Of coal
famine.
