In marble slumber of thy wintry youth
Wilt thou not wake my heart to spring!
Dost thou not dream bcezes ripping all the rounded hills
OF mellow hazes in the sunsets glow?
Rouse thee from thy istless doing
Loves warm breath is ardent my cheek
Bud and blossom wait for thee, my heart!
Loves clear eyes sunlight on thy chill
Wilt thou not wake, my heart?
Wilt thou wake?

THE LABOR DAY PROGRAM
REPLY.

AT the last meeting of the FEEDER
ated Trades and Labor assembly a
committee was appointed to reply to
an editorial appearing in The Labor
World in which was explained the
difference between the Labor Day
Program now being prepared by out
side advertising promoters for the
assembly, and the Labor Day edition
Of this paper. n
The Labor World did not advise
Duluth merchants against advertising
in the Labor Day program. The edi-
torial in question would not have
been written had not these outside
solicitors represented to merchants
that they were soliciting for The
Labor World, and its only purpose
was to set the merchants right 30

DAILY LABOR, PRESS.

Efforts are being made by organ

At this important period in the
development of the labor movement
and when there are a great number
of strikes and Industrial disputes, il
is very essential that labor have an
effective medium to present It's side
in all controversies.
The daily press is, to large ex-

WAR REVENUE.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
has asked congress for an additional
five billion dollar war revenue meas
ure, to provide for expenditures until
July 1, 1918. This was done in an
ticipation of the assembling of Sec
ond army under the selective draft.
The secretary made no recon-
mendat1ons as to the means of rais-
ing the additional sum, but it is
understood that the war department
favors providing one billion by taxa
ton, which would leave the enormous
amount of four billions to be obtained
by a bond issue. This means that
the future generations would be
shackled by gigantic debts to pay for
this war, and also would conduce to
the perpetuation of a bond and secur-
ity owning class living on incomes
squeezed from the lives of an already
over burdened and oppressed prole-
tariat.
A minority report Of the senate fl
nance committee has been submitted
by Senators Thomas, Gore and LaFol-
1ette showing how the revenue neces-
sary for the prosecution Nof the war
may be obtained through taxation
which would not affect the living
costs of the people, or in any way up
set the everyday life of the nation.
This could be accom- plished by an
adequate income tax and system Of
appropriating excessive profits de-
rived from war business.
If the war finance plan is to be
successful, congress must take action
along the lines suggested by the
minority report; otherwise there will
be turbulent times ahead for those
charged with the responsibility of
providing revenue for the huge war
expenditures.

the United States to pay for this war
fby imposing a. land tax that would
take all Of the economic rent of land :;

PUBLICITY WHERE 1T is NEEDED

Publicity is the most inherently
potential force of the present day
With proper publicity, many ven
lures of mediocre merits are brought
to a successful consummation; with
out sufficient publicity, numerous
undertakings result in ignominious
failure.
The press of the country Is the
most efficacious medium of providins
publicity for a movement or event
of any kind, and, rightly applied, the
newspapers WELD a powerful influ-
ence for good.
It was an unusually significant
fact that the daily press devoted
very little space-virtually none-to
presenting a true and reliable &C
count of the facts relating to the
prosecution of cases growing out of
the preparedness parade bomb ex-
plosion in San Francisco recently.
Through the agency of the Interna-
tional Workers. Defense league and
the labor press, the spotlight was
turned on the sinister workings and
INSCRIPTIONS Vaccinations of dis
trict attorney absolutely dominated
by a group of arrogant capitalists,
Hvh saer - L.
means to accomplish their aim-the
crushing and destruction of organ
lied labor.
This dastardly scheme was shown
in it's true light, and finally public
sentiment was aroused to such an ex-
tent that miscarriage and perver-
sion of justice in the bomb cases
would in no way be tolerated by the
great mass of fairminded people who
constitute the court of last appeal.
Were it not for this, Mrs. Mooney
might have been convicted and her
husband hanged, but instead Tom
Mooney has been granted a new trial,
and indications are that he will be
freed, as will most likely the other
three defendants who are being held
in connection with the same cases.
The next procedure for the labor
press-and all other newspapers
which believe in fair and impartial
treatments to apply the necessary
publicity to the abhorrent conditions
prevailing in the district attorneys
office of San Francisco, and there
will surely be developments which
must inevitably result in due punish
ment being meted out to those guilty
of malfeasance in office, and those
who seek to prostitute the courts of
the land.
Labor press of the country, the
battle is only half won! It is your
duty to see that the prosecutors of
organized labor receive that which
they deserve. Turn on the light!

wherever there has arisen any dis

CH1NA'S LESSON, TO ALL REPUB-
Lies.

Spokane Labor World: The coun-
! ter revolution in China, in favor of
monarchy, has its lessor for repub-
lies everywhere. When the mon
archy was Cverthrown, four years
ago. the revolutionists were led by
Sun Yet Sen. who could have been
| elected the fist. PRESIDENT Of the new
republic. Sun is an economic expert,
as well as thorough student of po-
litical science. He knew that to
make people really free they must
have economic as we'll as political
freedom by releasing China from the
grasp of private monopoists.
But there was reactionary ele-
ment, willing enough to concede to
the people the ballot and all the out
ward forms of free institutions, but
unwilling to concede the right to use
the earth. Sun Yat Sen felt that he
might establish free political condi-
tons first, and get economic freedom
afterwards. So he unselfishly aband-
oned his chance to become president,
that the reactionary, Yuan Shi Kai,
might acc ,pt that office and thus
bind himself and party to recognition
of the republic. But the reaction
aries used their Ieas, of power to
block economic reform. AS result
the people were as impoverished and
oppressed under the so-called repub-
lie as under the monarchy. And
naturally many who had looked for
better conditions under the new or
der were disappointed and Disguised.
That they shoul' feel Indifferent now
either to foreign invasion or counter
revolution is not surprising.
Possibly the Russian revolutionists
will take warning from this occur
renee. They, too, realize the need of
overthrowing. land monopoly, and
are being met by thu specious plea
that they must mt try to get too
much at once. Yet If the Russian
republic refuses to free the land to
the Russian people, it will pave the
way for the return of the car to
power. But let it abolish poverty
throughout the cou ry-as it can
by abolishing the chief cause of it,
land monopoly,-and the people will
never tolerate any suggestion of re-
establishing despotism.
There is the same lesson for the
United States, also. Though we have
no dethroned car, whose return we
must fear, we are not free from
economic despots who WELD polite
cal power. II we, -':ould do away
with them We mus, free the national

SEVENTEEN BILLION DOLLARS

Milwaukee Leader: Our expense
account for this Morganatic war al
ready amounts to $17,OO0,OOO,O00.
according to a statement made in the
United States senate by one of the
pro-war senators. This sum practi-
cally was appropriated before our
contingent had a chance to fire a
shot
1t is simply Impossible to describe
how many grand, gool and useful
things could have been accomplished
in the United States with one-tenth
OF that sum-pensions for aged
workers., good roads, general tduca-
ton, etc. But any man who would
have suggested to spend one-tenth Of
these billions for good purposes
would have been laughed at as a Wis
ionary and Socialist.
On the other hand; It can easilv he
seen how long this war is going to
last-since there are many trustocra-
tic vultures il terested in getting
their share of the 17,000,O00,000 and
Of the billions that are to follow.
At that rate, We will be unable to
get peace in 10 years. Already socie-
ties are being formed in New York
and Philadelphia to oppose any and
all peace propaganda as un-Ameri-
can. Already there are voices in the
capitalist papers declaring "as all

WILLAMETTE RIVER
NEARING FLOOD STAGE
Sixteen Foot Stage at Salem
Soon After Noon and
Rising Rapidly

The Willamette this morning stood
at Is feet above low water, rising
from 1919 since yesterday. The water
was still rising today and the heavy
rain that has fallen within the past
few hours is expected to send it still
higher. Much Of the floor space of the
Oregon Transportation company IS
warehouse was covered by water this
morning and by noon the prospect If
further high water was such that the
company removed its merchandise from
the building.
1t was reported at noon that the
Santiam river was the highest it has
been known for years. The Willamette
had risen to the Is foot stage shortly
after noon and it was predicted that
it would reach the 20 foot mark by
morning.
There is much speculation as to Just
what the high water will do to the tenn
porary bridge, especially since the lat
est orders received by the local con.
tractors seem to be to the effect that
the first pier from the east bank must
be removed.
