THE PEOPLE VS.. FICKERT

The tactics to which Fickert and his
assistants have resorted since the
bomb cases were reopened are evil
dence of anything but a desire to
have the truth about the Mooney and
Billings trials brought out. Fickert's
reply" to the charges against his
office was long delayed and when it
appeared was not a reply at all. In
the court proceedings in which the
district attorneys representatives
and their star witness have been I'M
willing actors they have INSTRUCTED
action instead of eXpediting it. Sc
crecy, delay, and backbiting are their
methods, and these are not the meth
DDS of men who have nothing to con-
ceal and are confident that their
cause is just.
But secrecy, delay and backbiting
will not long save Fickert from the
final exposure, nor will they, of
themselves, serve to hang Mooney or
convict any or all of the other de-
PENDANTS. Nothing that Fickert can
do can prevent new trial of the
bomb cases on honest evidence; and
it is not likely that anything that he
can do will enable him to remain
very long in his present office. The
finger of the recall already points at
him. The community is beginning to
be concerned about the longer con-
tinuance in office of those who con-
Wet possibly innocent men with lies,
and in the meanwhile make no effort
to find the true culprits. An official
is needed who will not turn the dis
trict attorneys office into a deadly
joke, and, no doubt, he will be forth
coming-Editorial from San Fran
cisco Bulletin.

AFTER THE WAR

Under the caption "After the War"
H. M. Hyndman has the following to
say in the London "Justice," the only
Socialist paper the British govern
ment permits to leave England:
"The men of our victorious armies
who return from the front, the sail
ors who have safeguarded this island
and the freedom of the seas-our
soldiers and bluejackets, / say +
will not be content with the degrad-
ing social conditions thought good
enough for them three years ago
They have the right to own and con-
troll the country they have defended
and the means of making the wealth
which they and their class have piled
up. They are already learning this
lesson very fast Let the profiteer-
ing and parasitical classes, therefore.
ge wise in time. Let them be proud
to join as ordinary men and women
with the men and women who saved
them from ruin. Then the free and
equal citizens Of a democratic and
social British republic can at last set
the pace in the progress of human
lty and being free themselves, NAV
work cordially with others for the
final emancipation of all.

SKUNkED!

1t has long been the delight of u
herd of pious pikcrs. Pharisccs, and
ministers to evil designs. of Everett
and several other towns to point to
Stmwood as n horrible example. les
about time that some Of these put
clothes pins ON their noses while 20
iuE up Hewitt avenue, and clean up
the ill-smclling slop in their own
alleys before pointing a finger at the
peaceful city of Stanwood
Last Saturday evening seven strong
arms of the law swoopcd down on
the town, one division taking posses
sion of the Palace pool room and
the other Ruth's pool parlors. They
locked the doors, and went at things
generally like drove of Cossacks
raiding a Nihilist meeting in Russia.
They searched the pockets of those
in the room, nosed into every nook,
corner, cigar case, and old shoe, but
nary a drop could they find. The
nearest they came to it was an empty
pint bottle, a skeleton of the days of
1915, 1t was n disappointed lot that
returned to Everett ms dry as when
they came, and perhaps more so.
1t might be added that for law
abiding citizens, Stanwood does not
take anything from anyone. 1t doesn't
beat people up and get themselves
into any mess costing the already
overburdened taxpayers some $780,
600, that may as well have been
stuck in the stove for all the good it
does. It's business men do not boy
colt their own citizens, nor have we
seen one tenth the DRINKS here in

day. Get hep, Everett You may

CONSUMPTION
AND THE Y. p. S. l..

Consumption is in store for the
youth Of the land and what the an
swer will be can be told only by in
dividuals of conscriptive age.
The young Socialists Of this coun-
try were against war and expressed
their sentiments for peace in resolu-
tions sent to the president and con-
gress, urging that the country keep
out of the world conflict.
But war is now here, despite their
demand for peace, and opposition to
it is both useless and foolish.
The task before the young Social
lists now is an unequivocal opposition
to conscription. The sentiment
throughout the land is against con-
scription, and it is left to the Yipsels
to crystalize that sentiment in count
less groups pledged to oppose con-
scription when it comes. And sue
cessful organization and a strong de-
mand that "selective" drafting be
supplemented by voluntary recruits
may stay cOnscription.
Already news from many quarters
report the organization of Anti Con-
scriptiOn leagues. The Y. P. S. L..
members should conscript the young
people of their own city, village or
town in such leagues. Recruits for
them can be found in the Socialist
party, high school and college anti
military leagues, literary circles and
young peoples clubs of all kinds.
While free speech is not denied us
let US not deny it to ourselves.
One can never tell what conscrip-
ton in this country could lead to,
not even stopping with revolution,
and who but the radicals of the ma
TONS youth should lead?-The

Margie, was that my other care-free

the correct burning time or the eXplo-

is impossible to obtain two powders
with the same burning time; hence the
burning time has to be determined on

Chaucer Said "Come OFF," and Shake

A new slang phrase is sprung and
sweeps the country. If 1t is apt and
pat you will hear it on the street, from
the pulpit and in the schoolroom. Then,
apparently without reason, its vogae
vanishes, and it is added to the worlds
collection Of antiquities.
Perhaps one reason why a new slang
expression is short lived is because
some investigator finds that it really is
not new, but merely a revival of a
phrase which III its day was not slang
at all. 1t has remained for Professor
Il. p. Utter in Harper's Magazine TO
throw light on the expression Good

How Ensland's Present Royal Family

How Ensland's Present Royal Family
Gained the Crown.
That George V. now sits on the throne
OF England is due in no small measure
TO the prognosis of a seventeenth cen
fury physician, DR.. Richard Mead, who
was born in London Aug. IL, 1913.
When Queen Anne, last of the Stuart
rulers, became fatally i'll in 1714
DR.. Mead was called in consultation.
After an examination of the stricken
queen he found that she was near
deaths door, and the doctor so in
formed the leaders of the Wing party,
with which he was affiliated.
The Wings favored the Hanoverian
succession and Immediately on learning
that Anne was soon to succumb began
to plan for the realization Of their am
bitionS. The regular physicians of the
queen did not believe thai she was so
near to death, so when Anne breathed
her last in 1Tli the supporters Of
Anne's brother, James, We're unpre-
pared for the event. Anne's Tory min
istry was in favor of placing James on
the throne, but the Wings, thanks to
DR.. Mead, had already taken such nc
| ton as to insure the succession of the
| elector of Hanover, and in September
George |. made his triumphal entry
into England.
DR.. Mead was rewarded by being
made physician to the new royal fam
lily, Many English historians have at
tributed large Importance to the physi-
clans prognosis in bringing about the
