The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-11-08

people are scared at the idea of such vast change, and beg that you will speak of reform and not revolution. As, however, we Soci- alists do not at all mean by our word revolution what these worthy people mean by their word reform, 1 cant help thinking that it would be a mistake to use it, whatever projects we might conceal beneath it's harmless envelope. So we stick to our word, which means q change in the basis of society it may frighton people, but it will at least warn them that there is something to be frightened about. which will be no les dangerous for being ig- nored; and also it may encourage some people, and will mean to them at least not a fear, but a hope"
 The Socialists of today would do well to keep the words of Morris, as a guide to their plans of action

HEAVENLY DISCOURSE.

God is standing on the upper back verandah of the universe contemplating his finger nails. St. Peter enters.
 God: Well. Peter-what now?
 St. Peter I've lost a soul
 God: Well.
 God: That was careless, How did it happen?
 St. Peter: didn't know I had it with me when I started.
 God: Where did you put it.:
 St. Peter: I didn't put ' any where. I didn't dare to for fear would never find it again-I Just held it between my thumb aud fore finger.
 God: Was it so small?
 St. Peter: The emallest I ever saw-you could hardly sect it. Ii you took your eyes of it moment you couldn't ind it again.
 God: Whose soul was it?
 St. Peter: forget his narln. lnt he Wa a rich man.
 Cod Did you see if the camel would go through the needles eye
 St. Peter. Yes, sir
 God: Did he?
 ,'t. Peter Yes, sir had to beat him little. but he got through This man had given lot to youl C uUTch.
 Ccd: My church? Your .hurch you mean. Pcter-yoUr and Paul; v tat was his business?
 St. Peter. He was q very rhari- table man. He sent food to the starving Belgian.
 God; Did he do anything for the starving of his own country?
 St Peter: No, don't think so You see, they are nothing unusual

CONSCRIPTION OF INDUSTRY.

It is said quite plausibly that a large extension of state ownership and state control of industry may result from the war Spurred by military eXigency Englard, France and Germany have taken a good many steps on the road to state so- cialism-Which is very different affair from ideal Sociali m. for it does not necessarily imply the least Improvement in the condition of labor The situation of the belli- gerents at the close of the war with colossal debts, diminished ca pital, industry disorganized in var ious branches and a horde o1 workmen released from the trcnche will, it is argued. enforce continuance or even an enlarge mcnt of state participation i'll bus mess.
 Perhaps jealousy of private pro- fits on the part of working popuia tions that have made such terrific Sacrefices will operate in the same direction.
 Indeed, 5t;,,e socialism i. a rather natural corollary of conscription. If the state must Lave all it's pco- pie duly trained, regimented and ready at a moments call for na- tioa2l defense, why should il not have also all industry duly regi- meuted, controlled and immediately under it's thumb: If every work man must put himself iG such con dition that he is instantly avail able to the state for military pur- poses, why should not industry be in such condition that he is instant ly available to the state fer military purposes, why mould not industry be in the tame condition?
 State Socialism is quite logical corollary of conscription. Conscrip- tionists here should add it to their program.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-11-08
REFORM OR REVOLUTION.

William Morris, writing in the Commonwealth in 1887, disting- uished Revolution from Reform as follows:
 "The word Revolution. which we Socialists are % often forced to use has a terrible sound in most peo- plc's ears, even when we have eX- plained to them that it does not ne cessarily mean change acconpa- nied by riot and all kinds of vioi- ence, and cannot mean change made mechanically and in the teeth of opinion by a group of men who have somehow managed to seize on the executive power for the mo- mont. Even when we explain that We use the word revolution in it's etymological sen q, and mean by it a change in the basis of society.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-11-08

Of course, if you have never in vestigated the possibilities of life under Socialism, you will hoot at the suggestion just as you did when some idiet told you that Mar conf could send message around the earth without wires. When you consider that everything used by people today is the result of human labor aplpied to raw mater ial furnished in lavish abundance free by mother earth. and directed by the thought of human intellig- ence, and that there is an un' imited supply of all three factors, the question of supplying all the people instead O: a few with beautiful nc mes and pleasant surrounding resolves itself into a simple propo- 1i:ion, and that is: When do The people want to make the change? Vixen 6 majority desire palaces in stead of hcvcis they can have 'em. It's up to you.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-11-08

God: Well, was that his business Looking after the starving?
 St. Peter: No-no-that wasn't his main business.
 God What was it?
 St. Peter: He was a intuition maker.
 God: Whats that?
 St. Peter: He manufactured gun powder or guns, or shells. Some thing like that
 God: What for?
 St. Peter: We'll just as present for the Poor Allies.
 God: The Poor What?
 St. Peter: Allies.
 God: Who are they?
 St. Peter: They are the people Qn earth who are fighting the Ger mans.
 God: o ye1. I remember the W.r on the Grath. Fools killing Fools for the rulers.
 St. Peter: Yes.
 God. Why did he manufacture munitions?
 St. Peter: Because he was neu- tral. His country was neutral God: Whats that?
 St. Peter: They are willing to help both sides.
 rTo ly; oool, o+baro
 St. Peter: Yes, sir. But in fact he only helped to kill Germans
 God: Why?
 St. Peter: The Germans didn't need any help.
 God: But why did thi.-this soul manufacture munitions?
 St. Peter: Why?
 God: Yes, why? Did he love the Allies and hate the Germans?
 St. Peter: No, he didn't care. God: Then why make munitions to kill Germans?
 St. Peter: Well-er-
 God: To make money?
 St. Peter: I suppose so--
 God: To give to your church? St. Peter: Only little of it.
 God: And a little to starving widows and orphans he helped mako?
 St. Peter: WelI-you see, the Bcigians-
 God: See here, Peter-all starv- ing people look alike to me---even those in thi.I fellows mine or fac tories .. Let me cast my all seeing eye over you-I don't like Shat soul being loose around here which hand was it?
 St. Peter: This one
 God: Let me see. God looks carefully for some timeD Here it is.
 St. Peter: Where? I dent see it.
 God: No, your eyes aren't as good as mine. Lcok carefully there. Under your finger nail that epeck of dirt.
 St. Peter: o yes, that's it.
 God: Peter, you hold it there carefully and go outside the wall to that old sewer that used to run to hell and drop it in.

MONEY ON U-BOA7S
Still Confident They Will Humble
England and Allies

Amsterdam, Oct. 13.-Admiral Won
Ttrpitz. former minister of the Ger
man navy, interviewed by the Bruns-
wick Landes Zeitung, is quoted as
saying:
1--WE can continue confidently to
expect final triumph over England
SO long as we continue to sink vessels
faster than she constructs them A
submarine war success cannot be ex-
pected Immediately, however, but If
we pursue our aim firmly we shall
find after some months that our posi-
ton for negotiations with England will
be quite different.
England desires negotiation now
favorable. The decisive factors are
the shipping losses suffered by the En-
tente and by neutrals who expose
themselves to our U-boat war. No
definite time can be fixed for our sue
cess. Economically, and as regards
raw materials, our position today is
stronger than that of France or Italy.
How far England will be able to make
her supplies last cannot be predicted.
But the decisive factor is that
while we supply four fifths of our
economic needs from our productions
England has to fetch four-t1fths Of
hers from overseas.
I'VE are now at the fateful hour Of
our existence. Germany cannot MAIN
tain her position as world power
against England unless her position Is
founded on might"
