TERRIBLE NEWS

One Of the most terrible things that
has happened since the war with Ger
many has been threatened is the plans
Of the U. S. government to take over
(confiscate) shipyards, munition
plants and other facilities for hurry
ing the work Of preparedness. We
have not the least doubt but that the
Henry Dubbs and patriotic citizens
will empbatically protest against the
action Of the government in taking
possession Of private property and US
ing it to further it's own ends. These
people have always looked with horror
upon the suggestion Of the Socialist
that private property in the means OF
wealth production be confiscated and
used for the Benefit Of society ss a
whole and we presume they will take
the same course in the present fin
stance If they do not we can only
class them as hypocrits or damn fools.
The Northwest worker. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1915-1917, 1917-02-08

the editor hates work and is there
fore a little parasite.
And who ever heard of the employ
ing class giving jobs to soldiers after
they had performed the noble duty of
defending the oil interests of John
d. Rockefeller or of the capitalist
class?
And how does this editor know that
the soldiers have the interests of the
country at heart. Most of them are
picked up for the army when they are
out of work. Others enlist Just for
the adventure but if any should be
foolish enough to join to defend their
% country it shows conclusively
that they do not know anything about
their country, nor about who owns
their country, nor about who will
benefit by the conquering of another
country and these kind of men are
not only IAN enemy to the l. W. W"
but also to the great mass of human
lty who believe in "Peace on earth
and good will toward men,"

THE COMING CURSE

The Couer d'Alene Evening Press
has the following advise to hand out
to the employers of that community:
ain employing the soldiers who have
just returned from the border the
employer runs no risk of engaging
an l. w. W. but is employing men who
have the interests of the country at
heart and necessarily an enemy of
the l. W. VS. which are the coming
curse of the country"
Such is the wonderful piece of wis
dom eminating from the shrivelled up
brain Of the editor Of the 2X4 daily.
When the call was sent out for re-
cults for Mexico this patriotic pen
pusher held tight to his editorial
chair and all the T. W. WIS that we
know of held onto their jobs too, so
the editor has nothing on the l. w. vs.
for lack of patriotism.
This beetle Drained editor says the
1. W. VS. are the coming curse of
the country. He makes this state
ment because he realizes that when
Industrial Democracy has been
brought about that he viii have to
do some useful work instead of pros
tituting his mind for the benefit of a
lot Of profit mongers. This shows that

ON TRIAL FOR THE KILLING
!: OF AUSTRIAN PREMIER
DR.. Friedrich Adler, Newspaper Edi-
tor, Before Court In Vienna,
Pleads "Moral Justification"

/, AMSTERDAM, May 10, via London,
1853 Am.-Dispatches from Vienna re-
port the trial in progress there of Dr.
Friedrich Adler, the Vienna newspaper
editor and radical socialist, who last
October shot and killed the Austrian
premier, Count Karl Stuergkh. Charged
with the murder OF the premier, say the
accounts Of the trial, DR.. Adler pleaded
in defense that he was guilty in the
same way that any officer was guilty
who in war time killed or ordered the
death of another man.
Dr.. Adler protested against the state
ment that he committed the deed
through q lack Of a sense Of moral re-
Sponsibility and declared the fact that
his trial was conducted by a court was
his moral justification. The manner in
which Justice was administered in Aus
itria had made him the object Of op-
preston since the outbreak of the war.
he asserted.
|. After the rupture of diplomatic rela-
lions with Serbia, but before the actual
declaration OF war with that country,
pr. Adler stated. Premier Stuergkh and
the minister of Justice, DR.. Viktor Won
Kochenburger, had brought about a
coup d'etat by the suspension Of juriea
and by refusing to assemble parliament
the premier had escaped Indictment.
On the very day before he was shot
the prime minister had refused to dis
. cuss the calling Of the reichsrath, de-
clared Dr.. Adler. Therefore," contin-
ned the prisoner. IT decided to call him
to account and fight him with the
weapons he himself had chosen There
was no other way, for il the law is
the duty Of every citizen to procure Jus
tice for himself"
