Passports to Canada

Passports are now issued by the State
department at Washington to persons
subject to draft only when the applica-
ton is accompanied by permit by the
provost marshal general to leave the
country. Regarding the issuance of pass
ports to Canada Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder says in a recent ruling:
NO passport is required by the state
department to 60 to Canada, but persons
subject to draft who attempt to cross the
line are often subjected to delay while
their cases are being investigated To
obvate this delay, permits to go to
Canada temporarily may be issued in
proper cases. When any registered per
son desires to go to Canada ten1porarilv
he may apply to his local board for a
permit. The local board will consider the
application and if the person is not likely
to be called within the period of the pro-
posed absence. or If the board is other
wise assured that favorable action will
not result in evasion of or interference
with the execution of the law, the local
board will take from the applicant
statement of his address while absent.

Thereupon. the local board may issue a
permit to go to Canada for a definite
time stated in the permit or to visit
Canada during a definite time stated in
the permit.
Rcd Cross Work not Exemption.
The provost marshal general has ruled
that Service in the Red Cross Ambu-
lance companies is not military service

There is no provision In the law under
which medical students can be exempted

Marriage and Exemption.

A man whose wife is mainly dependent
on his daily labor for support may claim
exemption on that ground. But depend
ency is a matter of fact. The rule does
not ask is the husband, as matter of
law, liable to support the wife," 1t asks
us the wife. as a matter of fact, mainly
dependent on the daily labor of her hus-
band for support" Only the exemption
boards can determine this fact. Where
dependency is claimed and the circum-
stance show marriage hastily consum-
mated since July 20 by a man whose
number is high on the available list the
actual fact Of dependency must be closely
scrutnized.
Moreover by Section of the act of May
IS. "any person who evades or
aids another to evade the requirements
of this act" Is guilty of misdemeanor;
and local boards are authorized to warn
persons who claim discharge on the
ground of marriages contracted since the
date of the act, that both parties are liza
BILE to prosecution under this provision If,
in fact. the marriage was contracted sole
ly with the intent to evade the perform
ance of military duty.

ENJOYABLE SOCIAL

In spite of a regular back-east
blizzard, fifteen people gathered at
the Labor Temple Monday night, Jan.
29th. to listen to or take part in the
entertainment given by the Womans
Christian Socialist League. And say!
talk about good time, we certainly
had one, everybody seemed to enter
into the spirit of the occasion with
the determination to have a swell
time in spite Of the weather man and
the smallness of the crowd.
Mark Bartlett filled the chair
(rather full) and showed that he was
we'll qualified for the job by having
the collection taken up first thing on
the program, Mark evidently missed
his vocation, he should have been a
preacher. The shining star in the
galaxy of stars of the first order was
the Rev. T. T. Edmunds, his Rever-
should have been an actor, his render
ing of little piece about the dog and
the squirrel would have brought tears
from wooden indian, and you fellows
that were not there, say you don't
know what you missed in the way of
singing, Mrs. Bartlett and Mrs. Her
mann made the finest team that ever
trotted in double harness. Among
the others who took part in the en-
tertainment were Hanna Crosby and
F. G. and Chas. Ingve.
And talk about candy: Mrs. Weffer-
ling can certainly make the SWEETEST
ever, and there was five pounds of it

Taken all around we had about as

Mr.. Editor, you want to quickly
divest yourself of the delusion that
scribes are just fainting from over
anxiety in hoping to see their pet
scratch appear in print through the
columns over which you hold fiat this
Phlistne democracy.
When your scribes offer copy, it is
gratis. 1t is donation of time, nerve
energy and accumulated experience
to the cause, pure and simple. Scribes
can market their stuff elsewhere and
get cold cash to help keep the wolf
from the door. 1t is not class to get

PROLETARIA BILL.
Feb. 3, 1917.
The Northwest worker. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1915-1917, 1917-02-08
WHAT AILS OUR
UNIVERSITIES?

Six weeks ago Charles Mccarthy
chief Of the Wisconsin Legislative
reference Library, delivered an ad
dress in Philadelphia in which he tool
the American universities severely e
task.
His contention is that subtle influ.
ences are at work all over the country
undermining the usefulness of our
higher institutions of learning. Tt
quote: Universities are planted al
over the country like Chinese graves
and each one OF these has it's hand out
for money. Do you think that profess
sors in these universities are going to
fight the power of wealth"
He then goes on to cite the case OF
an instructor in Leland Stanford Uni
versity that was incautious enough to
tell certain unpalatabe truths about
our men Of wealth. He was cautioned
but persisted in his evil ways. He had
to be dismissed because he could not
be reformed. All of us, of course, re-
member the Scott Nearing case OF
Pennsylvania. Another case of an
incautious instructor. The truth may
be given, but in very small and diluted
doses.
Mr.. Mccarthy calls such dismissals
open suppression. 1t is generally not
found necessary to use such raw and
unrefined measures. If the professor
has family it is generally sufficient
to pass him by when promotion time
comes around. In time he senses the
reason why his colleagues advance
and he remains stationary. Gradual
ly he puts on the soft penal, until he
finally stands without hitching-per-
fectly "safe and sane"
Professors Are Afraid
"The tragedy of it all is that the
country should be depending upon it's
universities and it's educational sys-
tenn to keep alive the principles of
liberty, free thought and free speech.
1t should be depending upon it's edu-
cational system to solve it's problems
Of government"
These are McCarthy's words, and
they are not unadvisedly spoken if my
own experience can be relied upon. In
the State University of Washington
are able women and men engaged as
teachers. But whenever they wish to
say something radical they resort to
explanations; at least the ones / met
in the class room. A number of times
have l heard the expression, "But l
am not Socialist" ThiSwhen some
thing out of the ordinary had been
uttered. Why are such remarks need
ed if teacher teaches the truth?
Surely the truth need not hide it's
head? Well, guess again.
Mr.. Claxton, U. S. Commissioner of
Education, made a fine talk here a
few summers ago. In the course of
his talk he found it necessary to men
ton the differences in opportunities
for an education between certain
states in the Union. All ought to
have the same opportunity he held.
Then he caught his breath, and added:
"But am not Socialistw Saved
again! Do you wonder that such
smooth politician permits the Carne-
gle and Rockefeller foundations to
further the interests of the capitalist
class at the expense of the people of
the country by sending out arguments
for child slavery?
We car put stop to this if we
elect our own women and men to re-
spoi sible offices, especially the office
of school director. Let US do so this
spring. Roll up your sleeve and help
elect friends of your children and the

BUNCOED AGAIN, B'GOSH!

/ Something like this exclamation
the good people of the Seattle school
district may utter when they read the
utterances attributed to Miss Anne
Louise Strong in last Sundays Times
of Seattle. Miss Strong was elected
on the Progressive school ticket of
Seattle at the last school election in
December. She stood for the school
house as civic center of the commun-
ity; this was her great battle cry
when asked what she stood for. This
had to be done in order to make fine
front against the Socialists who had
a ticket in the field, and were especi-
ally strong against militarism. Not
one word did Miss Strong utter
against militarism so far as we know.
Now the civic center idea is a fine
one, as has been proven in Illinois, my
native state. Forty years ago the
travelling minstrel, preacher, show
man, corn doctor, sleight-
man, lightning calculator, singing
teacher, and number of other per-
sons found the school houses always
open to them. And the whole district
turned out to see or hear. Along
comes one of the twentieth century
reformers and discovers that this cen
ter idea is a good one. Are city peo-
pie really forty years behind the
times? No, no! Only in certain di-
| rections. Here is the statement at
/ tributed to Miss Strong in the Times:
81 am not afraid of the results of
any kind of military training intro
duced into the schools, if done under
the control of educational authorities,
who, however slow they may be in
meeting a need, are fundamentally
interested in the welfare of the chill
dren."
She went on to say that she OPP
posed that part of the Zednick bill
which would place the certification of
military instructors and control of the
military in the hands of the state
adjutant general. Plainly case of
tweedle dee, tweedle-dum! What diff
ference does it make to the working
man who commands the troops that
shoot him full of blow holes?
Had the Socialist candidates been
elected there would have been no such
remarks; it would have been, "Mili-
tarism is tabooed in our schools"
And this reminds us that there is
going to be an election in March. If
the patrons of the schools do not wish
to SET boy scout agitation and militar-
ism to get foothold in the schools,
let them elect true-blue radicals; let
none but red card men be put on duty;
halfway measures lead to nothing.
And when that is done, the battle
is not won; the right kind of teachers
must be put in the school rooms. Such
can be had right here in the univer-
sity; all that is necessary is to let us
know just what kind of subjects are
to be taught, we can do the rest for
you, If you need any teachers before
the election, let me know, and I shall
send you some one that can fill the
bill. Address me at the address given
below

EDITORS Note: When we stated
that "if you want to knock anything
else than the capitalist system, don't
send the knock to us for publication"
we had in mind letters that are often
written on the spur of the moment
against some individuals character
and we intend to keep our word. If
a member Of the party goes astray
then it is up to the party to take ac-
ton through the proper channels, i. G.,
the Local and the Party Builder. We
are sick and tired of the little petty
party squahbles and it is time we got
action on the big things that concern
society as :; whole instead of indi-
vidual fights. We are in constant
touch with several thousand readers
and we claim to know how the major
ity of them take this squabbling In
regard to other material, we don't see
why we should re-write anybody's ar
ticle through their inability to prepare
it in proper form.)
