Many years ago. at the beginning of November, a misSive bearing the St. Albans postmark reached St. Martins. The envelope was addressed "lud mar funding" Neither tail nor head could be made out of this by tho staff. so the envelope was opened for a clew. The letter read, kenyohiauosfoyosho bil igs.''
 The practiccd St. Martins decipherer of puzzles promptly made out the sig nature as "BiIl IIigGs," With the key this afforded the rest was deliciOusly easy.

architect White. White was as bad as he. White was more refined in his degeneracy. He was an architect ural genius and he was beloved by some of very high estate, Bacon, partner of Morgan was one of the White crowd, and then a whole chorus who had seen nothing wrong in Thaw when victim after victim of his pleasure crawled to living death in the foulest places of the city, demanded justice for this slay ing of rival degenerate!
 From that time on, the case of Thaw has been the case of the friends of Stanford White versus the power and influence of the friends of Thaw, and it is too evident that justice and unadulterated common sense equity had nothing whatever to do with the prosecution or perse- cution of this lunatic who rightly, since he arrived at mans estate, should never have been allowed out side the insane asylum.
 Society made mistakes about Thaw and Thaw made society feel the res possibility for it's errors. But wholly without effect.
 The career of Thaw is no different from hundred careers in New York or any big city except in the degree of publicity extended to it. It was in fact to cater unWittingly to some of these careers that Mayor Mitchell of New York recently gen. erously extended the winning and din- ing hours in the down towns cafes. It is impossible to expect things otherwise in any event.
 At one end of the scale are dozens with more than millions, at the other end of the scale millions in poverty. Such cannot pretend to Q goodly economic balance. and so makes impossible an equitable moral intellectual, social balance. The wonder is that the Thaws are not more frequently in the limelight, even if the Thaws are at some diff culties and pains to avoid it where possible.

POLITICAL ACTION.

The socialist papers are poking fun at Gompers where rightly, for his efforts to deliver the labor vote to Wilson. Gompers resolutely places himself in opposition to politics in the union, but takes It upon him. self very nicely to donate the labor vote wherever he pleases. This at- titude is historical and if by some remarkable chance an election was pulled off and Gompers failed to make a point of delivering the vote to some politician or another, his followers might die of surprise. II has been done so often that it is the natural thing to do.
 The socialists did not poll very large vote at the last election and it is not evident that they are gain ing in strength at all. This does not mean that socialism as such is fall ing into disfavor, but it may very well mean that socialist politics as exemplifed by the socialist party is
 There has been, it is quite clear, entered upon control of the socialist party of America, number of men who are professional parliamentar- ians. This is more dignified that calling them professional politicians, but it is the same thing. Now these men are mostly professional men and they dominate the party in al- most all it's executive work.
 The natural result of this is that the political activities of the social ists passes from the realm of the working classes and the men who are mentioned as the candidates of the working class party. that is the socialist party, are not workers at all, hut professional men: lawyers, doctors. journalists, writers and pro- fessional propagandists who have not one thing in common with the workers except sympathy for them in their exploited state, and in this they have no very great monopoly.
 It is not without some degree of the ridiculous to tell the workers that they must work out their own emancipation and then pick out for
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-01-13

them some reformist lawyer or jour- nalist or preacher to do it for them.
 One of the most highly favored candidates for the nomination for president which Benson won at the last referendum, was banker, and the humor of that situation does ~ seem to have struck Milwaukee W all.
 Moreover while ballyragging Sam Gompers with his famous inconsist. ency in politics, the socialists are for ever and a day catering to Samuel and not a few now and then publish with delightful approval an articeI to two when no election is in sight And they go even further than thA by claiming that this party whit is presided over by preachers al lawyers and editors and intellectuaM of one phase or another of possibly unquestionably sincere and worthy people, but people who by their own environment are removed from the masses, is the political arm Of LabOri
 The socialist professional parlia- mentarians have not themselves grasped the fact that political power to be realized must have it's basis upon economic power. The first es- sential to the up-building of political power would be and must be the work of organization and job con trol. The simple reason for this ia that political power now as ever be- fore and now as ever more is the reflex of the economic power ana without that is so much wasted energy.
 That fact is dawning upon a good many of the workers who cannot see that they are step nearer industri- al emancipation merely by placing few socialist lawyers or editors in Congress, and hence they are direct ing their attention to job control which will be the means of real poli- tical control later on.
 We may as well admit that the railroad brotherhoods have manifest ed political power no socialist or ganization has ever reached, and these organizations have compelled Congress to act when socialists could compel no such action. Un- questionably with economic power will come political might that will be able to defy opposition.
 It may be contended that in the meantime the workers may have po- litical measure directed against them which will be effective in destroying their organizations but although this is true, manifest it is that, if it is to be brought about it will be brought about whether socialists are or are not in Congress.

WOMAN ON LOCOMOTIVE

Lord Northcliffc in a speech
not long ago paid glowing
tribute to the work done by the
women of England in the war,
and said he was sure American
women, put to the same great
test, would make the same re-
sponsc. American women arc not
"slackers." In crowded cities and
by the lonesome farmside the
American girls and women, with
out regard to wealth or social
distinction, are employing every
spare moment in some work to
help our soldiers. To be sure,
some women are too much tied
down by household cares to as
sist, but even they arc helping
the men in the common cause.
Then, too, many of our women
are "burdened with a cross" in
the shape of womanly troubles
which almost break the back, "
cause headaches. dizziness or
fainting spells. Men cannot ap-
preciate the suffering which
women endure. At all such times
they require a tonic and nervine,
which during nearly fifty years

If you know someone who is troubled

to them and you may have been the
means of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. We be-

SPRAYS, inhalers, etc. merely tenn

being so, much time has been spent in
perfecting pure. gentle. yet effective
tonic that should quickly dispel all

Billy came out to the Zoo un-

moniously into the black bears cage
where "Bozo" has long reigned su-
preme as the middle-weight, light
weight, heavyweight and every other
weight champion of the black bear
family. He had the knack of ma
nipulating his paws so that those
who matched their skill with him
generally found themselves caressing
the dirt and ready to agree he was
champion.
It's been that way for a long time
until yesterday. Whenever they threw

When it came time for the big

the loaves were bouncing into the
cage and proceeded to help himself.

him on the side OF the ear and emit
