THE GOOD MAN. FALLACY

men and women, elected by work
ing men and women to serve the
interests of the working people
who constitute nine-tcnths of all
the people and they will do it as
far ms the laws will permit--and
change laws along those lines as
soon as possible-bccause they
have back of them an organized
body Of workers, disciplined, fix
cd in principles, firm in convic-
tions, whose leaders are its ser
wants and who refuse to be sold
out or betrayed.
New voters-especially women
are requested to analyze the
vote in different cities, by wards
and explain, if they can, why it
is that the candidate that polls
the highest number OF votes in
the so-called silk stocking"
wards almost always has the
highest number of votes in the
"slum" district Is there a bond
OK sympathy between the candi-
date of the big business interests
and the "down-and- outs ?" Or
does the good man" through his
managers, of course-find IA good
return for money invested on
election day.
No, fellow-women workers,
there are no good men" who will

WORLD REPUBLIC

Edited by Cornelius Lehane)
Cornelius Leblanc of London is
bringing out new world news
paper, the World Republic, which
aims to give correct interpreta-
ton Of the Socialist revolution
which, according to Mr.. Leblanc,
il sweeping Europe from Dublin
to Petrograd. Mr.. Leblanc is GER
tainly fitted for this task as he
was at one time national secre-
tary Of the Socialist party of
Great Britain and organizer of
one Of the big labor unions in
England, besides being co-found-
err with James Connolly of the
Socialist party of Ireland. Mr..
Leblanc is a trained journalist of
long standing in Europe and in
America, having left his mark as
such on the two continents, in
addition to being known on both
sides OF the Atlantic as an orator
OF the very first rank. The new
journal will be published weekly
in New York, and the news and
comments will interest both Amer
leans and Europeans as the edi-
tor has lived in many countries
and is "A keen student of human
affairs everywhere. Mr.. Lehane's
scholarship extends to several
languages and most branches of
physical science. On this ground
work Of liberal school education
and wide travel, Mr. Leblanc has
built a reputation as profound
tudent and interpreter of history.
He has been frequently alluded
to ms "the man who predicted the
war; The preliminary announce
ment Of the World Republic con-
tains articles on the coming labor
government of England which Mr.
Leblanc says is the next country
TO fall under the control of the
Socialist revolution, on the rec
ognition of Ireland by the In
ternational Socialist Congress, on
the Peace Conference which is
likely TO be the next International
Socialist and Labor Congress, on
the Spargo National" Party, on

gems and others TO the Socialist

racy, financed from high quarters

non VINO nave Il reputation loT
being good" will make much
better Official than another man
who is politically unknown or one
that is supposed to have the
backing Of the interests, meaning
generally, the liquor and vice in
terests. This is old dope" For
years and years man has fallen
for it. and it is reasonable to sup
pose that women, being generally
e n more emotional type and
having more mt heart the welfare
of her children, will be even more
easily misled in this direction.
Let us analyze the situation
and Try and deduce the facts.
Are there good" men and bad"
men, There are unquestionably
number of people who unde.
any circumstances will do mean,
dishonest and dishcncrasle deeds.
They are pc,ve.ts, the victims Of
long ages OF system that tends
:" produce criminals and insane
They are more IN need Of ply
sician than Of the law. They are
found in all strata Of society
and one may he candidate for
office, but it is very unlikely.
There are also good" men,
who at any price. or at any cost,
will stand by the highest ideals
and always do the honorable
thing. There is not enough Of
them to iii the ticket for oil the
offices Of . general election, and
men Of this type rarely. II ever,
consent to enter the race for Of
flee.
The truth 10 that the average
politician is the average man VINO
has been fitted into shape by the
influences by which he 10 sur
rounded. He may enter into
high elective office determined
to do certain things that he knows
are right and should be done. bat
soon finds himself up against OBJ
stacles Of whose existence he did
not even dream. Certain subtle
influences and ressonings are
brought to bear upon his mind
and things that once seemed
abominabie now appear in a diff.
ferent light. They look rea-
sonable, especially when renumer-
alton appears as an issue. The
doctrine Of economic determine
ton has begun to get in its
fine work The good man is
no longer good. This can be
proven in q number Of causes.
Not many years ago the citi-
zens OF Buffalo elected a man by
large majority. Why? Be
cause he was known to be DO
litical crook Not Mt ALI On
the contrary because he was
known to be II straight, honest
business man. A few years later
they were clamoring for his de-
feat, alleging that ne was domin-
ated by the liquor and vice in
terests. Where had the good"
man gone, and why? Some years
ago the Union Labor Party-not
the Socialist-elected man nam
ed Schmitz as mayor of San
Francisco. For some time he
served the city and the ranks Of
organized labor well, but the big
interests, the powerful men who
had deals to put through men who
franchises to get away with, did
the usual thing and Schmtz fell
by the wayside. Any number
" such instances can be shown
| but the two above mentioned will
suffice to show the utter folly Of
, voting for good" man, belev-
ing that he will, or can, do more
for community than the con
trolling interests, with the laws
they have cunningly had enacted,
will permit him 10 do.
"!ll the Socialists do any bet
ter? We have no good men
on our ticket. Oar candidates

Al the Casino.

Clara Kimball Young has won for
herself an enviable record as the por-
trayer of famous characters In we'll
known dramatic successes. She adds
more laurels 70 her wreath In the pre-
sentattion OF Margaret Case, the hero
inc OF The House OF Glass" which
was shown to large audiences Sunday
night at the Casino.
The story Is of an innocent girl
whom a train Of circumstances con-
dennis to a prison sentence, but who is
paroled. Margaret Case breaks her
parole and goes west. where she be-
comes the wife OF a prominent railroad
man, Harvey Lake Els appointment
to a big job in the east brings him TO
New York City where detective rec
ognizes his wife. Fortunately the
incident of theft by youth In Mr..
Lakes office provides an unexpected
method Of securing Margarets par
don from the governor OF the state,
who had come to intercede In the
boys behalf. The delineation Of this
character gives Miss Young an oppor-
tunity for an admirable performance.
in which her charm and LONELINESS were
seen at their best. An excellent cast
supported her.
A two-reel comedy Choose Your
Exit" and Pathe News were also
shown.

scenes that are spectacularly produced
are the horse race and the boxing
match. Some clever and sensational
screen effects are used In the photo
graphy which makes them more real.
In fact the boxing match seemed so
real that the audience became so ex-
cited that some spectators even cheer
ed for their favorite. The whole pic

AUSTRIAN BODY
May NOT RAT|FY
new ALLIANCE
Military and Customs Union
With Germany Is improbable,

ZURICH, May l2.-Negotiations
which will decide the future relations
OF Germany and Austria Hungary will
be discussed by Baron Burian, the Aus
trian foreign minister, on his present
visit to German headquarters, says a
Vienna dispatch to the Frankiurter
Zeitung These negotiations are char
acterized as pragmatlc alliance
military and customs union.
A two-thirds majority IN the reichS-
rath is required for constitutional
sanction OF this alliance and the news
paper says il IS doubtful whether this
can be obtained.
The great question in Austria today
Is whether the continued existence II
a separate Austrian state is possible.
This is denied both by the South Slays
and the German provinces. One party
desires the state to consist of number
of small sovereign states each with
its own foreign policy. The other
party demands a return to the German
federation which would render harmless
the centrifugal efforts OF the smaller
nations and nationalities The out
come Of this condition Of chaos, the
Frankfurter Zcitung declares is still
uncertain
