city stands for the kind of democ-
racy that prevails here just now,
democracy where freedom of as
semblage is denied the people, de-
mocracy where armed officials be-
have like thugs, forcibly dispensing
meetings, burning literature and
clubbing the people; a democracy
where workingmen are arrested and
imprisoned for exercising their right
to strike, a democracy where the
miners of Bisbee were torn from
their homes, huddled in freight cars
like cattle, flung upon desert with
out food or water and left to die;
democracy where Negroes may be
massacred and their property burn
ed, as was done in East st. Louis;
democracy where lynching and
child labor are tolerated, democ-
racy where a minister who follows
the feet of the Messenger of Peace
beautiful upon the earth was flog-
ged almost to death, and the only
comment of the press upon this out
rage was a series of facetious re-
marks, and a half-concealed approval
of the "hot-headed Kentuckians
whose earnestness and patriotism
carried them little too far"
If | had the right to vote, would
vote for you, Mr.. Hillquit, because
a vote for you would be blow at
the militarism that is one of the
chief bulwarks of capitalism, and the
day that militarism is undermined
capitalism will fall. Sincerely
yours. HELEN KELLER.

VICTORY FOR
SUFFRAGE IN N. Y.
A Story of How the Women
Campaigncd and Paraded

NEW YORK.-Again Fifth ave-
nue. resounded with the blare of
music and tramping feet, not with
the feet Of those who were "going
to make the world safe for de-
inocracy," hut with those who de-
mand that democracy begin in New
York state.
Twenty thousand women and
many men marched in line for
the cause of homemade democracy
with banner quoting President Will
sons latest advice on the suffrage
question, Iincolns memorable lines
that advocate the right Of women to
vote-for they bore the govern
ment's burdens"--and the fact that
1881, 531 want to vote.
For more than two hours the wo-
men passed before the thousands Of
people lined up and down Fifth ave-
nue.. There were all ranks Of wo-
men neutrality-suspicious. wo-
men including social workers, teach
ers, lawyers, doctors, authors and
business women. Pauline Newman
headed the industrial section.
These marched to ask that the En-
pire State be made safe for de-
mocracy, but others did their bit,
too, not for one state, but for the
entire United States, for Europe,
for the whole world. Socialist suf-
fragists from 1870 to the stroke of
6 in the evening marched up and
down both flanks of the spectators
with the special edition of The Call,
with the Hillquit message, and with
Socialist literature. Indefatigably
and valiantly the women made their
way through the crows, sometimes
meeting hostile stares.
One little "news Comrade" de-
scribed her day (she finished at 7
in the EVENING" as combination
of thrills:
"First they would stare at me,
then they would buy; some never
bothering for the change Once,
when / halted in the way of SOL
der, he smiled, saying, I'm in khaki,
but I'm for Hillquit, and he dis
played Hillquit button"
The little hustling Socialist wo-
men were not draped about with the
yellow and blue sashes of the march
ers, but with plain, white strips of
paper bearing the inscription, "Votes
for Women" With 300 workers,
both men and women, willing, able
and smiling, it is no wonder that
$4,000 copies of the special suffrage
edition were sold all along the line.
Mrs. Theresa Malkiel, organizer of
the Socialist suffrage campaign, re-
lated this little story:
Zone of the girls came in at 5
o'clock and deposited few remain
ing papers.
"Sorry l have to stop now,' she
apologized with smile. But I'm
getting married tonight

OUR REACTIONARY
POSTMASTER GENERAL

From an interview with Postmas-
ter-General Burleson in "The Public"
the following is an excerpt:
DO you mean to tell me-" said
Mr.. Burleson, chat the child of the
poorest farmer or the poorest fac
tory hand in New England hasn't
just as good a chance to go to
school and get an education and
become bank director or a rail
road president as J. P. Morgan?
II certainly do" l said Every
few finish grammar school. Take
your Bureau of Labor Statistics;
take the report of your Public Health
Service, which shows that less than
half of the adult wage-earners in
this country were earning enough to
support their families in decency
and comfort"
1T is their own fault" said Mr..
Burleson. "This is the freest and
finest country God ever made. Your
quarrel is with God. You have a
perverted view of these things. If
that's the stuff you're preaching,
think you're probably doing more
harm than good"
God never intended that a man
should be allowed to grow rich
just from ownership of land that
others worked l suggested.
Mr.. Burleson chuckled.
GAS a land owner you can't ex-
pect me to believe that" he said.
If the same subject had been dis
cussed with John D. Rockefeller,
ex-President Talf, Nicholas Long
worth, Nicholas Murray Butler. J.
P. Morgan, or any other ultra-re-
dictionary citizen, could more reac-
tiOnary views have been expressed
The plain meaning of Mr.. Burle
sons words is that he cannot be
expected to take any view in re-
gard to the public welfare in con-
flict with his private interests. He
is landowner first and an Ameri-
can citizen afterward. Perhaps he
did not intend to be so rash But
if his words are capable of a diff
ferent construction he should hasten
to let it be known.

THE CRIME
OF POVERTY

The thing of things | should like
to show you is that poverty is n
crime | do not mean that it IL u
crime to be poor. Murder is a
crime; but it is not a crime to he
murdered; and n man who is in
poverty | look upon not rs criminal
in himself no much as the victim
of crime for which others, as well,
perhaps az himself, are responsible.
That poverty is curse, the bitter
est of curses, we all know. Carlyle
was right when he said that the
hell Of which Englishmen were most
afraid was the hell Of poverty; and
this is true. not Of Englishmen alone.
but Of people all over the civilized
world, no matter what their ma
tionality. 1t is to escape this hell
that we strive and strain and strug-
gle, and work on oftentimes in blind
habit long after the necessity for
work is gone. Therefore, l hold that
poverty is crime--not an individual
crime, but a social crime.
There is nothing in nature like
this poverty which today curses US.
We see rapine in nature; we see
one species destroying another; but
as a general thing animals do not
feed on their own kind; and, where
ever we see one kind enjoying plenty,
all individuals of that kind share it..
No man, think ever saw herd
of buffalo, of which few were fat
and the great majority lean. No
man ever saw flock of birds, of
which two or three were swimming
in grease, and the others all skin
and bone Nor in savage life is
there anything like the poverty that
testers in our civilization. And
yet the peculiar characteristic of
this modern poverty of ours is, that
it is deepest where wealth most
abonds.
From an address by Henry George.
