let it's presence dawn upon the
great mass of mankind, and the
issue will take the center of the
stage.
Years passed before the slavery
issue came to head in the United
States. The early agitators-like
William Lloyd Garrison-suffered
indignities and were outlawed by the
respectable part of the community.
The time came, however, when the
sale of men and women became an
issue so dramatic that none could
escape it.
The contrast between those who
work for a living and those who
own for a living has been indistinct
in the past. 1t is so new, so unex-

the mass of people do not yet be-

do, they are confident that it can
be cured by an act of Congress. The
time is coming-and that right soon,

see the issue. When that time ar

THE HERO OF BUTTE

Recently one Manus Duggan built

hearts of men. lie was of Butte

scorn to be slackers, are now some
where is Butte" nelplng the CON-
pany to MAINTAIN the conditions I'M
der which the chlvalry of labor may
be smothered and roasted at some
future time.
But about this Manus Duggan -
when death sIaIked among the men
below ground, ne drove some thirty
bewlldered MINERS INTO a corner Oh
an exposed tunnel. He boarded them
in and stuffed the cracks between
the plankS with the clothing OF his
wards. For more than two days
he kept watch by curtalned hole IN
the wall. linen the gas Tunes grew
less, and as some OF his men were
dying, it seemed to hun, time for
his little band to tight Its way out
Twenty-SiX reached the top alive,
but Manus was not among them. He
crept in delirlum back to the refuge
evidently thinking that some OF his
men had been lett. He died where
he had kept his vigil. The city
rang with mis- praise, the papers
were blaZoned with it, and the Mayor
of Butte proclaimed a hero day
of which Manus Duggan was to be
the center. But, alas, word came
to the mayor that Duggan, So
cialist, had two years before been
black-listed in the fair city of Butte
because of his political principals.
He had fallen silent about his prin-
ciples for the sake of the roof over
the head of his wife and baby. Such
is the cost at which workers buy
their bread. Who can tell?-per-
haps editors at times do even so.
After a time Dugganfs employers
forgot about his Socialist sins and
he got a job; but of these sins he
could never be sufficiently purged
to make him worthy subject for a
hero day. And so the papers said
that the mayor said that the time
was inauspiclous for hero days and
that none would be held. Some
thing had gone wrong with the
available crop of heroes. And in
deed it had How could Socialist
Stacker be a hero, even though IN a
grim hour he had kept his head and
at the last had shown love for men
greater than which no man hath ?
Perish such heroes. Let no bronze
tablets be erected to those who can
not see that the fashion of our
time is to take life, not to save it.

HERE AND THERE

Jingoes in the United States, espe-
cialy the lingo papers, pretend to
think that it is an awful thing,
bordering on treason, for anyone to
differ with the administration.
Now comes a report to the effect
that the administration in England
is being numerically criticised by
the people of that country. Also a
report that the administration in
France is being drastically criticised
by the people Of France.

Seattle, Wash, July Is, 1911

Editor Northwest Worker;
Dear Sufficiently man was
elected to a Legislative position, but
very recently this man was serving
prison sentence, for he had been
bold enough to make fight for
the freedom of n small nation. For
this henious crime he had been inn
prisoned, denied the most common
necessities of life and treated with
scorn and contempt by his prison
keepers. Another man in this same
nation had been sentenced to long
term of servitude in fifty prison.
His crime had been that one of
his sons had been shot and another
transported for fighting for the
freedom of small nation. When
in prison he had been denied seat,
bed or other of the most common
necessities, and his food was insult
ficient and unsanitary.
You, reader, will very naturally
think that these examples of barbar-
ity were committed in Germany, for
you have been taught to believe that
the Huns are savages, and the acts
related here are the acts of savages.
But no, this occurred in England, the
champion of pure" democracy, the
nation that proposes to save our
civilization, the nation that is to CO.
operate with your Uncle Sam in
carrying the blessings of liberty,
freedom and democracy to the heath
en- land of the Huns.
But England does not have a mo-
nopoly on acts of savagery. Even
here, in the land of enlightened de-
mocracy, in the land of Washington,
jefferson, Lincoln and William Nc
Kinley acts of savagery rivalling,
those just related of England have
been enacted.
Not long since Olaf Berild and Ed
Peterson were arrested for the al
legged act of circulating a petition
asking congress to submit proposed
law to a vote of the people. Every
citizen is supposed to have a right
to ask congress to submit any law
to a vote of the people, or to repeal
any law. This was once believed
to be constitutional, but, now, since
the Steel Trust and allied interests
have assumed to administer the laws
of the United States, one cannot be
sure as to any of his rights.
Olaf Berild and Ed. Peterson are
just ordinary working men, who
hope to make this world better
place in which to live. They may
be mistaken in some of their meth
DDS, but no one who knows them
can believe that they are criminally
inclined, or that they or either of
them would seek to revolutionize So
ciety by law-breaking. They are
too sensible to advocate any such
folly or to take any part in at
tempts to defy the law, They sup
posed they were taking a lawful
course and they were.
But the minions Of the law, those
to whom a little brief authority is
supposed to be simply an opportun-
ity for the display Of their acciden-
tai power, caused the arrest of Olaf
Berild and Ed Peterson and had
them incarcerated in the Pierce
County jail, in Tacoma.
Rumor said that these men were
accorded about such treatment as
had been given to the unfortunates
in England, who had fought for the
freedom of Ireland. SO the Inter

DEMOCRACY OR
PLUTOCRACY?
(By Scott Nearing)


The issue between plutocracy and
democracy cannot be compromised.
Democracy is man power; plutocracy
is dollar power. Either we must
put the dollar above the man or
else eve must put the man above
the dollar"
There are many cases in which
we can do both and there are not
wanting a goodly number of cold
women of both sexes" who are still
confident that this can be done per
manently. 1t was possible while
the issue was clouded by other ques-
tions. Inject the tariff, or prohibi-
ton, or the religious issue, or the
money question and for the time be-
ing this conflict between the de-
mocracy and the plutocracy for the
control Of the United States sinks
into a position of relative unim-
portance. The issue is there, how
ever, and it will remain there so
long as there is the difference, which
the profit-system necessarily main
tains, between the contents Of the
pay envelope and the price of flour
and shoes.

DENIED THE RIGHT TO PETITION

| selected committee to visit our
comrades in the Jail in Tacoma. Aft
er their visit this committee made
the following report: "This commit
tee, after an interview with two of
the prisoners from Seattle, who are
detained by reason of their activi-
ties in circulating petition to con-
gress, demanding the submission of
the conscription act to the people
for disposal prior to the passage Of
the CONSUMPTION act, report that
these men, Berild and Petersen, are
held incommunicado and are not per-
mitted to have any intercourse with
the outside world; also that all read
ing matter and mail is being denied
them, that friends are being denied
the right to furnish them with the
most common necessities"
And it is also further reported
that the food furnished these prison
ers is such that it is a menace to
their health, inasmuch as it is in
such state of decomposition that
at times it is infected with worms.
In view of the foregoing, we, the
members of the international Work
ers' Defense League, do most ur-
gently demand that an investivation
of the above statement Of conditions,
be at once made by those in author
ity and that those who are found
to be responsible for these inhuman
conditions, be at once removed from
official position of trust or author
ity."
