PERSONAL AND SOCIAL NEWS
LARGE DANCE AT,
THE CIVIC CLUB
Mr.. and Mrs. William M. Har-
gest Entertain at Delightful
Dance For Their Nieces

The Harrisburg Civic Club wore a
festive air last night for the lovely
dance given by Mr.. and Mrs. William
Milton largest, of 113 Reilly street, in
Ackroyd Gallienne and Miss Ruth Os-
borne Gallienne, of Albany, n. Y, and
Miss Virginia largest King, of this
city.
Under. the clever hand of Uttley the
ballroom was prettily arranged with
profusion of Alabama smilaX.
Fastened over the many windows were
punches of slimax, the fireplace was
banked with huge mound of smilaX,
and over it were baskets of Killarney
brilliant roses, the wall lights radiated
their glow through a cluster of green's
and the orchestra circle was screened
with palms and holiday green's.
The Tongue, suggesting coziness with
its subdued lights and great open
fireplace, was simply decorated in
greens, with a huge bouquet of Ameri-
can Beauty roses pedestaled in holly.
Ropes of SmilaX were also used as a
decoration for the hall and the wide
open stairways leading up to the ball
room.
Despite the attractiveness of the
decorations in the ballroom, the Tongue
and the hall, none were as beautiful
and elaborate as those in the dining
room, where Rutherford served a late
supper. Here the guests We're re-
moved from the suggestive holiday
green's of winter to the vivid coloring
of balmy spring. In the center of the
large table was a huge basket of
snapdragon, farleyense fern, Thoreau
roses, pink tiger lilies and novel gazing
balls in the unique Tiffany setting with
landscape touches. At each corner of
the table were tall candlesticks, the
bases intertwined with maiden-h hair
fern. The shades of the candlesticks
were of auratum pink, the predomi-
mating color scheme, with clusters of
orchids and farleyense fern.
Mr.. and Mrs. largest received their
guests in the assembly room, the lat
ter wearing a gown of black net over
foundation of net with jet trim
mings. Others receiving with the
hosts were Miss Mariene Ackroyd Gal
lienne, In shrimp pink net over silver
cloth with gold galloon trimmings;
Miss Ruth Osborne Gallienne, in gray
chiffon net over white chiffon, with
brocaded girdle and garnitures of old
blue flowers; Miss Virginia Hargest
King, wearing pink satin with silver
trimmings; Miss Eleanor Neal Clark,
wearing blue taffetas with Roman gold
stripe and golden trimmings. and NJ.
Thomas Sewell Hargest, Sd. son of the
hosts.
The Sara Lemer orchestra played a
most enhancing dance program for
the many dancers.

bers of the car crew were transported
to the cemetery in automobiles, where
a. brief memorial service was held at
the grave and a wreath, suitably in
scribed, was placed on the mound.
Al Foss was member of car. No. IL
Of Ringing Bros. circus during the
season Of 1915. While in Oklahoma
he contracted pneumonia and was
taken to hospital in Ell Reno, where
he passed away. A guard of honor
accompanied the remains from Okla

where he was buried.
This is typical Of all show compa-

they may be showing. If anyone well
known in the business is laid to rest
in the cemetery it is seldom that they
are forgotten. With the Forepaugh
show we always took the men, and
everyone connected with the show
marched to the cemetery; where suita-
services were held and the grave
decorated with eyritable blanket of
flowers.

WE MUST BECOME
A LIVE MILITANT FACTOR

am modest enough to claim that
we Socialists in this neck of the
woods have done some some good for
our cause. We never ACCOMPLISHED
anything by starting our argument
with the Nebular Hypthesis and end
ing with Darwin's theory of evolu-
ton. Start in with discussion of
scientific theories and distractions
sandwiched with bunch of poll-par-
rot propaganda phrases and our in
tended converts will leave us as
quickly as they would a person af-
flicted with the smallpox.
Our good has been ACCOMPLISHED
by discussing practical measures of
Immediate benefit, such as govern
ment ownership of railroads; govern
ment monopoly of banking; sick bene-
fits, accident insurance, old age pen
sions, etc.
/ The workers understand these
things and most of them desire them
with their whole heart, but never
having seen them in actual operation,
as government measures, they don't
believe or know how they can be put
in successful operation.
We try to show how easily these
things can be accomplished, point
out all the countries where these
laws are in force, and how beneficial
they are to the workers We show
them there is only one political party
in this country that stands by those
measures and supports them-anc
that is the Socialist Party. And we
do this without losing sight for a
single moment of the class struggle
or the great purpose and ultimate
goal we are striving for.

Prolctaria Bill reminds me of the
man who shuts his eyes during a fist
fight. We asked Bill to come across
with his facts" but instead he asks
us for ours. We believe that every
reader of this paper-o outside of Bill
read the attitude Of the capitalist
press on these measures and it is use
less to take up space proving it. As
for the eight hour day referendum,
we concluded that it was defeated
because the worker was of the opin-
ion-and he had good grounds for it
that he would receive smaller nav.
Until the worker becomes fully con
scious Of his power to regulate hours
and wages he will be bound to loo;;
upon such a measure with misgiving.
We contend that Industrial action
means getting better wages and con
dltlon5 from the owners Of the ma
chlncry of wealth production. Poll
teal action means the capturing of
the state (Which @. KS the owner
shlp) by any means at hand. The
economic power Of the capitalists is
maintained by the organized power
of the state, and is expressed in their
titles Of ownership in land, factories
and railroads, etc. If the workers
are to break the rule of capital thew
must by some means destroy the
titles Of ownership which are now
vested in the capitalists. AS the
state is the means whereby such own
ership is affirmed and the owner pro-
tected in his property rights, it stands
to reason that here lies the point
to be attacked by the workers if
they would affect the desired change.
The same class that has seized the
state mans the industries as we'll the
working class, so once the state is
seized the economic power of the
workers will be used to carry on in
dusrty by and for the workers.-Edi-
tor.)

take it to be one nowadays, then
what we need is that kind of prac-
teal action in the Industrial field that
will bring US votes-votes enough to
give US the legislative, executive and
judicial powers Of this government.
Under a democracy, leaving out rev
olutions, we can get power only by
the votes Of citizens. Power is what
we are after, power to write our own
laws and the police power to enforce
them after they become laws. This

foolish (?) enough to believe my ig-
norant voter will support my man
just as faithfully as he has been sup
porting the other crowd which has
been kicking him in the face all his

Another vital error in our tactics is
the complete lamb-like indifference
with which we enter into our political
campaign pecially our local and
state campaigns. We hardly stir up
a ripple on the political pond. We will
continue to agitate, educate and or
ganizc as Of yore, but we must do
one thing more and this one thing
more is the most essential thing of
all--introduce militant action into our
program. We must awake from our
Rip Van Wrinkle slumber with its
beautiful dreams of economic JUS
tice, take off our coats and work and
fight to the end of the last trench,
70 make our dreams come true. In
animation has been the cancer that
has been slowly but surely eating the
vltalS out of the Socialist movement.
We must get away from the idea,
that in the great world struggle now
going on the Socialist is to function
only as a reuniting agent, disciplin-
arian or drill master. He has got to
be a fighter too and the sooner we
learn we must fight to the bitter end
for every inch of ground we gain, the
sooner will the army of the revolu-
ton become an effective organization.
The Socialist party must become a
live, militant factor in the political
and industrial development of the
working class, or be relegated to the
political graveyard or scrape pile of
those who have started in the right
direction, worked to a certain point,
and then failed utterly to live up to
their wider and greater opportunities

THE DOLLAR ALARM CLOCK

How dear to my heart are those
chimes in the morning,
That yank me from bed with me-

How sweet is the sound of the regu-

That yells that it's time l hike to

Without it I'd sleep till the sun had
arisen,
Be late to the job that my boss let's
me use,
Get canned, perhaps steal, maybe
land in a prison,
If the chimes didn't hustle me out
of my snooze.

BILL AND HIS
BAERCADE StIElN, -

I'm previous letter asked Pro
lctwja Bill to tell me plainly why
he thinks the class struggle is not a
political struggle. Bill answers;
"That dogma on the class struggle
has been exploded through the nc.
ouircmcnt of a broader social knowl-
edge of history and economies ON the
part Of considerable number of pro
lctarian thinkers developed in that
struggle and through it,
That is no answer at all. 1t is
c,asivc, has double meaning, and
can be used in denying almost any
propositions Bill rcpudiates the poll
teal struggle in words similar to
what Il capitalist editor uses when
denying the class struggle. "Therc
is no class struggle says the cdi-
tor, "as that dagma has been eXplod
ed through the requirement of a
broader social knowledgc.'
1t is not my purpose at this time
ia correct the errors of "a consider
