WOULD START LITTLE REPUBLIC

Revolutions are getting too numerous for comfort in
Russia The latest that of SchiSseburg which is near
Petrograd city engaged in the manufacture of mum.
tons since the starting of the The Russian idea of
republics seen in this move for the city would establish
separate republic for itself The leaders of the duma,
and committee from the citizens and soldiers party are
pleading with the leaders of the revolution to stand fast
by Russs agreement with the allies and to continue the
war to the end The president of the provisional govern
ment has clear view of the situation and says that any
peace made by Russia before PruSsan auocracy ended
for all time is simply a1mistce. He points out to the
leaders of the revolution that peace with Germany now
means eventual ensavement unless the allies without
Russias aid put an end to it,
The same dispatches that told CT the revolution stated
the message of Samuel GOmpers for whom the leading
Russian workingmen have profound esteem is being
printed in Russian and distributed broadcast throughout
all Russia If Russia should make separate peace with
Ge1many---whch even the Germans not very hopeful
of bringing aboutt will not end the war, but will pro-
long it Indefinitely since she would then be in position to
supply the central allies with foodstuf and much needed
minerals and metals If however, Russia stays by her
promises to the allies that peace viii be made without
the consent Of ALL then the end of the war not so very
remote If at the time the submarine menace can
be removed it will mean the speedy ending OF the
slaughter.

A POOR TIME TO KICK

Complaint is made that the legislature only appro-
prated $1,000 for the salary of the secretary of the board
of child labor and nothing for the expenses of the office
These expenses it inferred from the complaint are
placed at $500 year. 1t is quite probable $500 year
would be ample for the expenses which would leave the
secretary under the appropriation if he she paid the
expenses out 6 the appropriation for salary $1,000
year 1t may be possible the present secretary would not
be willing to perform the duties of the office for that
sum- but if not there plenty of others who would and
jump at the chance. There numbers of pretty able
persons just who not getting than $1,000 a
year. and besides they have get in and do real work to
draw this. The person holding public office just
should remember this is a very inoppOrtune time to kick
about the salary Some half million of the flower of
the youth of the country going to work for their
country at somewhat risky job too and they being
paid far less than 1200 year.

Villa had been really whipped by General Murgua had
some truth in it. He has not been heard from since that
time AS the Mexican bandit habit is to scatter when
beaten and its members to become "buenos hombres

fair to presume that this is what happened to Villa and

THE PROHIBITION
OF PROFIT
Editor The Northwest Worker,
Everett, Wash.

Editor The Northwest Worker,
Everett, Wash,
Dear Comrade:
Your Open Forum is certainly
bringing out some very good ideas,
but as l see it, it is seldom that any
of them hit the real kernel of So
cialism.
In my estimation there is only one
way to get Socialism and that is to
stop PROFIT TAKING. Make it a
penal offense-if need be, life pen
atty, although personally l oppose so
drastic penalty-for anyone to
take, in any form, profit from fell
low human being.
The above statement appears, at
first glance, of no great Importance,
but let me say that that one propo-
sition is the greatest and biggest
idea, and would rebound more to the
upliftment and advancement of civ
ilization that the world has had to
deal with.
With our present scientific knowl-
edge and our great strides along in
ventive lines, it would be impossible
even if we were not to make any fur
ther advancement in the future
should we eliminate profit and adopt
system of production for use, to
have poverty, ignorance and want
in our land, except we had a general
famine throughout the entire coun-
try. But instead it would be just as
impossible to keep us from having
peace, prosperity, happiness and
abundance for all.
Any movement that will improve
the condition Of the workers is wor-
thy our support, and l believe we
should endeavor to push such move
ments along and not pull against
them But we should never lose
sight of the fact that they are steps
or palliatives and not the ultimate
goal and that there is ONLY ONE
means Of permanently rectifying the
ills of humanity and that is t.
ELIMINATE PROFIT.
Therefore, as ComIade Kaufman
implied there may be some efficacy
in inaugurating a prohibition cam
paign-THE PROHIBITION OF

GO TO THE MOUNTAIN

The Socialist Party, in its dealings
with the working class, reminds me
very much of Mahomet when he beck
oned to a mountain, and expected to
see it come a running. Mahomet,
however, took the sensible course
when he saw that the mountain show
ed no signs of moving. off" said the
Prophet of God, "the mountain will
not come to Mahomet, why then Ma
homet will go to the mountain" The
Socialist party has not shown that
much gumption. After reckoning to
the prOletariat for twenty-five years,
we apparently never touched them. "
They are solidly entrenched as ever
in their listless apathy, We must 90
to the proletaire, study his attitude,
his hopes and fears and needs, and es-
pecially his capacity for assimilating
profound vital truths. If this course
were taken, fancy there would be a
speedy change in our propaganda
methods and in our entire organiza-
ton
With over fifty years experience
as a wage-worker l believe | know
something about the proletariat,
though l don't wave the title in front
of my Bill. THE average proIetaire
when his stomach is filled, his back
covered and his fires are burning
feels no grievances and is happy

ternational Socialist Review, and a
