cBlind as bat" is a term that
can be applied to the rebels in So
ciety who fail to recognize the value
of using two weapons-political and
industrial action Comrade Smith
fails to take into consideration that
if revolutionary party polled two
million votes that there would be at
least another million disfranchised
rebels, but he goes on to state that
the 100000 economically organized
workers would have the greatest
strength. His contention is therefore
unsound and illogical. The class
struggle is just as much an hourly af-
fair in the political field, as it is in
the industrial field. In fact it is
the most important of the two. Karl
Kautsky in "The Glass Struggle, ."
says: occasionally someone has at
tempted to oppose the political strug-
gle to the economic, and declared
that the proletariat should give its
or the other. The fact is that the
two cannot be separated The econ.
omic struggle demands political
rights, and these will not fall from
heaven. To secure and maintain them
the most vigorous political action is
necessary. The political struggle is,
on the other hand, in the last anal
ysis, an economic struggle. Often
in fact, it is directly and openly
economic, as when it deals with the
tariff or factory laws. The political
struggle is merely particular form
of the economic struggle, in fact, its
MOST INCLUSIVE AND VITAL
FORM"
Kautsky further states, and moth
/ ing more truer was ever said, that,
whenever the proletariat engages
In parliamentary activity as a self
conscious class, parliamentarism BE
GINS TO CHANGE IT'S CHARAC-
TER. 1t ceases to be a mere tool in
the hands Of the bourgeoise. This
very participation of the proletariat
proves to be the MOST EFFECTIVE
MEANS OF SHAKING UP the hith-
erto INDIFFERENT DIVISIONS OF
the proletariat and giving them hope
and confidence. 1t is the MOST
POWERFUL LEVER that can be
utilized TO RAISE THE PROBE.

and moral degradation"
"The proletariat has, therefore, nc
reason to distrust parliamentary &C
ton, on the other hand, it has every
reason to exert ALL ITS ENERGY
TO INCREASE THE POWER of par
liaments in their relation to other de
partments Of government and swell

WHO SAID "BARI-
CADE SCIENCE?"

1t is no part OF Blll'S desire to hog
up the limited space in the Worker.
We will, however, accede to the re-
quest of Comrade Waynick to point
out just where and how his state
ment chat every class struggle has
been political struggle" is an ex-
ploded dogma.
Waynck tackles US on the very err
roneous assumption that it always
takes some great man" to explode
dogma. Sorry. That dogma on
the class struggle has been exploded
through the requirement of broad
er SOCIAL knowledge of history and
economics on the part of consider
able number of proletaran thinkers
developed in that struggle and
through it. We do not stop dead
still when some great man" unwraps
a bit of knowledge.
That old dogma that profits are
made by buying cheap and selling
dear" was exploded chiefly through
the work of Marx, but that does not
stop the development of social knowl-
edge in this regard; nor is there any
doubt but that it would have been ex-
ploded in time anyway through the
social exchange of ideas.
The class struggle of today is an
| Int
ers of labor power and the sellers
of labor power. 1t is basic and is
an economic phenomena in its very
foundation. 1t enters politics only
spasmodically and as secondary phe-
nomena. That is why we object to
the dogmatic statement made by
Waynick which helps serve to obscure
the truths of science.
Comrade Waynick, how do you ac.
count for the failure of the Paris
Commune That was a case where.
in political power was seized by q
revolving class" and does not square
with your statement that "the failure
of every class revolt has been due
to the neglect of the revolving class
to first seize upon political power.
Possibly the workers organized ac
tivity and social intelligence in the
industrial development at that time
had not advanced far enough to pu
them into real power. How abou
it?
| Evidently Comrade Waynick haC
not read our article on "The Histor,
of Yesterday ond Today" 1t woul,
be interesting to have him max,
good on his own assertions and prov,
to us wherein that dope is "barricad
science" Unfortunately we could no
get in touch with any authority il
handling the later developments il
that article as it was brought up tt
the minute and our classics did no
record it.
Bills conclusions have, however
been verified as correct. The raj
workers won what they got in spit
of the formulae adhered to by Way
nick
Yes, we need a broaded social un
derstanding of historical and indus
trial science as we'll as of the elias
sizes themselves.

THE EDITORS MEASURERS'
AND THE STRUGGLE FOR
WORKING CLASS
EDUCATION

When "Bill" shoots up the editor
with some scientific truths that are
not fully in harmony with the
BROAD" lines advocated by said
editor we are met with equivocation
and sophistry braided with tangled
facts concerning "men and meas
urers." This matter of party policy
and working class education is of
such serious nature that we are
going to make it plain 1--WE are right
here pounding the typewriter with
our fists-the primitive fighting in
stinct working in harness) that the
energy expended by us in this dis
cussion is not for the shallow enter
tainment of child minds; nor are we
going to revert to our childhood to
meet twisted facts and hollow So
phistry.
If the editor does not proceed to
untangle his facts concerning the
referendum measurers voted on and
defeated in the general election last
fall we will have to undertake the
job. We will also remember, caus-
ually, Of the measure" that was
carried as an add in the Northwest
Worker in last falls campaign to
which the Socialist Party was OPP
posed; and that is not all. We now
relinquish the space to those com
AIDES that are wanting to be heard
in this discussion.

Prudence heard him running down
the stairs boyishly, and when he came
in, before she could speak, he whis
pered, "Shut your eyes tight, Prudence
And do not scold me, for 1 can't helI

and kissed her on the lips. They were
both breathless after that. Prudence

CHAPTER XII.
She Orders Her Life.


That was the beginning of Pru-
dence's golden summer. She was not
given to self-analysis. She hadn't the
time. She took things as they came.
She could not bear the thought of shar-
ing with the parsonage family even the
least ardent and most prosaic of Jer-
rold's letters. But she never asked
herself the reason. The days when
Jerry came were TREMENDOUSLY happy
ones for her-she was all aquiver when
she heard him swinging briskly up the
ramshackle parsonage walk, and her
breath was suffocatingly hot. But she
took 1t as a matter of course. She
knew that Jerry's voice was the sweet
est voice In the world. She knew that
his eyes were the softest and brightest
and the most tender. She knew that
his hands had thrilling touch quite
different from the touch of ordinary,
less dear hands. She knew that his
smile lifted her into a delirium of de-
light. Prudence never thought of that.
She just lived In the sweet ecstatic
dream of the summer, and was well
and richly content.
SO the vacation passed and Indian
summer came.
1t was Saturday evening. The early
supper at the parsonage was over, the
twins had washed the dishes, and still

my-er-middle. The other end will

at will. 1 bestow the good but rusty
nails In this pocket, and the hammer

beneath my arm, mount"
And Jerry smiled as he heard the
faithful twins, with much grunting and
an occasional groan, following In his
wake.
1t was delightful location, as
they had said. The board fitted nice
ly on the two limbs. and Jerry fastened
it with the rusty nails. The twins were
jubilant and loud In their praises of
his skill and courage.
"Oh, Jerryl" exclaimed Carol, with
deep satisfaction, ''it's such a blessing
to discover something really nice about
you after all these monthsl''
"Now, We'll just"
FLUSH !" Kissed Lark. Here comes
Connie. Hold your breath, Jerry, and
don't bulge"
'Isn't she in on this?" he whispered
He could hear Connie making weird
noises as she came around the house
from the front. She was learning to
whistle, and the effect was CHASTITY In
the extreme. Comics mouth had not
been designed for whistling.
SSH She's the band Of dark-browed
gypsies trying to steal my lovely wife.
I'm the lovely wife," interrupted
Carol. complacently.
but Connie does not know about 1t
She is so religious she won't be any
of the villain parts"
Connie came around the corner OF
the parsonage, out the back walk be
meath the maple. Then she gave q
gleeful scream. Right before her lay 9
beautiful heavy rope. Connie had beer

wait to see where the other end Of the
rope was. She just grabbed what she

I'VE won't hurt him." grfnned Carol
impishly.
Maybe he's afraid to come" said
Lark, "for there are two of us, and
we are mighty men of valor."
That's all right" Prudence an
swered defensively. "rd sooner face a
tribe of wild Indians any day than you
twins when you are mischief-bent."
"Oh, we just want to use him a few
minutes" said Carol impatiently.
upon our honor, as Christian gentle
men, we promise not to hurt hair of
his head"
"Oh, come along, and cut out the
comedy" Jerry broke In. laughing.
Then the twins led him to the wood
shed. Close beside the shed grew a
tall and luxuriant maple.

Lark, exhibiting with some pride a
solid board about two feet In length.

'They allow US to rummage around at
will-in the barn."
"And see this rope" cried Carol.

"Ah The Avery barn must be mex

Jerry sat side by side, and closely, on
the front porch, talking in whispers.
Fairy had gone for a stroll with the
still faithful Babbie. Connie and the
twins had evidently vanished. All
not quite thatl Carol and Lark came
swiftly around the corner of the par
sonage.
"Good evening"" said Lark politely,
and Prudence sat up abruptly. The
twins never wasted politeness They
wanted something.
"Do you mind II we take Jerry

Prudence shifted suspiciously. "What
