PATRIOTIC HARRISON HAS.
ATTENTION OF NATION.
BULL ALSO HAS PROUD RECORD
Idaho RECEIVE MUCH DE.
SlRABLE PUBLICITY.
Asst WEEK The Miner told how


Senator Brady, with commend
able patriotic pride. brought to
- the attention of the senate the
high enlistment record of the little
town of Harrison. The senator en-
bodied in his remarks an editorial from
Golfers, which heaped great praise
upon the patriotic people of Harrison
and held the record of the town up as
worthy of emulation in all parts of
the country. In doing so Golfers
seems to have started something
which it evidently will not be able to
stop. 1t seems that numerous other
towns in all parts of the country are
claiming honors such as have been SO
generously bestowed upon Harrison,
and now that the light of Harrison has
been flashed upon the public, they do
not propose to keep theirs concealed
under bushel. And it is pleasing to
find in the long list of those clamoring
for recognition, Idaho has another
town, Bull, which comes in for hon.
orable mention. Here is the way Col
lier's handles the difficult situation in
the last issue:
"Help!"
when we printed something COM
plmentary about the recruiting record
of Harrison, Idaho, we didn't mean to
double our letter mail. We didn't
know, for instance, that Cashier o. w.
Mikkelson would communicate the rec
ord of Wyndmere, n. D., and that
George H. Flagg would be reporting on
Prairie City, Ore, and that Speaker
Tolton Of the Utah house of represent
tatives would be taking up the cud-
gels for the town and county of Bea-

the superintendent of schools of Stew
enson, Wash, saying: Every one Of

Sarasota, in Manatee county, has en-
listed a full company of naval militia

SENDS WORD TO
WAR MONGERS

North Yakima holds the laurel
again for being high number in the
recruiting spasm that has been caus-
ing the business men 50 much con
Germ. Although North Yakima holds
the record they were only able to
secure a trifle more than one-third
as many "rookies" as desired. Only
1870 were wanted, and with all the
big boosting by business men who
had such yellow streak they would
not enlist themselves, they were met
by silence that shows that the seed
we have sown has begun to fructify,
and people are beginning to believe
that it is England sinking the boats
to draw the United States into the
war to save her goat, and Morgan
& Co. wants us to butt in to save
those precious blood-soaked bonds.

Those thrills Of yankus jerI,cd over

ftol kind Of sorry rof The Socialist

cause ! was that kind of Socialist
once myself If the Socialist Party
is a university or academy Of sciences
then all we need is bunch Of stu
dents and corps of well educated
and competent school masters and
professors. # the Socialist Party is
Il political organization, and ! always
take it to be one nowadays, then
what we need is that kind of prac-
| teal action in the Industrial field that
will bring us Votes-votes enough to
give us the legislative, executive and
judicial powers Of this government.
Under a democracy, leaving out rev
! olutlons, we can get power only by
the votes Of citizens. Power is what
we are after, power to write our own
laws and the police power to enforce
them after they become laws This
Is what | understand by political ac-
ton. This is the reason | go out
every election day and try to get all
the votes | can for our candidates.
1t is immaterial to me, on that day,
whether the voter knows anything
about Socialism or not. | know the
man | induce him to vote for is
CLASS CONSCIOUS SOCIALIST,
and that's all ! care about. And if
my candidate gets into office he has
the power that goes with that office
to do practical work for the better
ment Of the working class and | am
foolish (?) enough to believe my ig-
norant voter will support my man
just as faithfully as he has been sup
porting the other crowd which has
been kicking him in the face all his
life.
Another vital error in our tactics is
the complete lamb-like Indifference
with which we enter into our political
campaigns-especially our local and
state campaigns. We hardly stir up
a ripple on the political pond. We will
continue to agitate, educate and or
ganize as Of yore, but we must do
one thing more and this one thing
more is--the most essential thing of
all--introduce militant action into our
program. We must awake from our
Rip Van Wrinkle slumber with its
beautiful dreams of economic JUS
tlce, take off our coats and work and
fight to the end of the last trench.
TO make our dreams come true. In
animation has been the cancer that
has been slowly but surely eating the
vitals out of the Socialist movement
We must get away from the idea,
that in the great world struggle now
going on the Socialist is to function
only as a reuniting agent, disciplin-
arian or drill master. He has got to
be fighter too and the sooner we
learn we must fight to the bitter end
for every inch of ground we gain, the
sooner will the army of the revolu-
ton become an effective organization
The Socialist party must become a
live, militant factor in the political
and industrial development of the
working class, or be relegated to the
political graveyard or scrape pile of
those who have started in the right
direction, worked to a certain point,
and then failed utterly to live up to
their wider and greater opportunities.

THE DOLLAR ALARM CLOCK
By John Healy

How dear to my heart are those
chimes in the morning,
That yank me from bed with me-
lodious thrill;
How sweet is the sound of the regu-
lar warning
That yells that it's time l hike to
the mill.
Without it I'd sleep till the sun had
arisen,
Be late to the job that my boss let's
me use,
Get canned, perhaps steal, maybe
land in a prison,
If the chimes didn't hustle me out
of my snooze.
Chorus.
The faithful alarm clock;
The rafting alarm clock;
The Dollar alarm clock
That rests on my shelf.
What blessing it was when the
thing was invented,
1t beats the slave-driver who came
with his stick;
1t rests on the shelf in the shack
that | rented
1t never gets hungry; it never gets
sick,
If overly weary | take a tin bucket
And place the alarm clock down
into the thing,
When it chimes in the morning it
doubles the racket;
1t would wake up the dead when
the two of them ring.
Some times the good woman gets
worn and weary,
And say we are hauling too much
Of a load,
l tell her the journey would lool
still more dreary
Ii the dollar alarm clock shoulC
fail to exnIada
Then here's to my booster that only
needs winding;
And here's to the victim that jus
keeps alive.
The boss gets the money and I d.
all the grinding;
The clock starts the circus at quar-
ter past five.

BILL AND HIS
BARRCADE SCIEI,,u

In previous letter asked Pro.
lctaria Bin to tell me plainly why
he thinks the class struggle is not Il
political struggle. Bill answers;
! "rhat dogma ON the class struggle
has been exploded through the ac-
uuircment of a broader social knowl-
edge of history and economies on the
part Of Il considerable number of pro-
( lclarian thinkers developed in that
struggle and through it,
| THAT is no answer at all. 1t is
le>asivc, has double meaning, and
can be used in denying almost amy
proposition. Bill repudiates the poll
teal struggle in words similar to
what a capitalist editor uses when
denying the class struggle. "Thcre
is no class struggle" says the cdi-
tor, "as that dagma has been eXplod-
ed! through the requirement of Al
BROADER social knowledge"
III is not my purpose at this time
ID correct the errors of "a consider
able number of proletarian thinkers"
They may think what they please
! | know "a considerable number of
thinkers" much greater number
than Bill has in mind, who believe
that all our struggles will be ad-
justed when the ancient prophets are
resurrectcd and take charge of the
worlds governments. These thinkers
firmly believe what they think, Bill
also believes what he thinks. But
mere belief, while satisfying to Bill
and the other thinkers, is not CON
vmcing to me nor anyone else seeking
to know.
Surely Bill should see the weakness
Of his reply to my statement that
every class struggle is political
struggle" a statement sustained by
every Socialist author from Marx to
Simons. Therefore, | maintain, with
emphasis: Any person who repud-
iates the political struggle also re
pudiates the class struggle.
At various times, in published let
ters, Proletaria Bill has repudated
working class political action; there
ore he rcpudiates the class struggle,
possibly without suspecting that he
is doing so. He is in earnest, so
when he fully understands his own
mind he will no longer dabbIe in the
affairs Of the Socialist party or any
The Northwest worker. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1915-1917, 1917-04-12


After Proletaria Bill has examined
the demands Of the railway workers
he may find they are not very revo
lutionary. Thirty years ago the
Typographical Union was something
for Bill to look upon and pronounce
very good, as the printers then were
striking half their time, making de-
mands more sweeping than those
made recently by the railway unions.
Printers got their demands then, with
more in later years, but strikes with
them are mostly memories of long
ago. If Bill had known me in the
old days he would have called me
revolutionary, but really / was only
radical then and sentimental. Now
that | urge the necessity of political
action as wei as economic action, thus
becoming in fact revolutionary, he
thinks | am growing conservative.
AS my friend Benny Cohen would
say, "it makes me disgust"
