THE DOLLAR.

A great nan once said (and every woman knows) that a baby is the most wonderful thing in the world. If so, how wonderful that the most wonderful thing in the world should cut it's teeth on the thing that next to itself, is most wonder ful-the dollar!
 A good deal of rubbish has been written about the dollar, so I shall try not to write more, though may not succeed. One is almost sure to write rubbish when he writes of the uses to which the dol lar is put. Gentlemen of fine feel ing have gone into rhapsodies over the dollar because of the fact that it feeds and clothes the widow and her children. I could say, with as much sense, that the dollar is the universal harlot, since it will serve anybody that has the power to com mand it. It is not what men do with the dollar that is of funda- mental importance. It is what the dollar itself is that counts.
 The dollar is an order upon the world for goods or services, payable to the bearer of the dollar.
 Which is equivalent to saying that the dollar, in it's very nature, iS fraud. What right have I, merely by the possession of dollar, to de- mand your goods or services? No one has a right to demand service of others. The possession of dollar is, in itself, in proof what ever that the possessor has served

TRANSFORM THE WORKERS
 BRAIN.

To transform industry from capi- talist to working class control, we must aid in the process of evolution by first transforming the workers The workers must be aroused to a consciousness of the important role they play in society So long as the workers believe themselves in capable of executive direction and organized achieveemnt as a class, so long will capitalism endure The workers must be awakened to the glaring fact that the only depend ent class in modern society is the capitalist class. Without the brain and the brawn of the workers, CO., operatively applied to land and ca pitsl, and without the moral and ethical support of the workers, cum niIgly rallied to their exploiters' institutions, capitalism and the ca pitalist class could not endure. IL is labor that makes it's own en- slavement possible, by refusing to use it's mental and economic power in it's own interest as a class.

CUT OUT THE BOOZE.

The Socialist movement was wise when it determined that there was too much drinking among the work CTS and that it was necessary to en- join them from such harmful in dulgence. In this there was no sentimentalizing but simply the re- cognition of the palpable fact, that liquor is one of the factors which keeps the working class in bondage. The class struggle requieres clear heads, steady nerves and self respect on the part of the men who are waging it. Piled with intoxi- cants they are in no condition to grapple with the problems which confront them and to carry forward the great work of organization which is required before there can be any hope of emancipation.
 We have said before that there is altogether too much whisky drinking amonk the working class of this country. The evil of it is too apparent to need more than mention here.
 If the workers were to contri- bute one dime to literature to every dollar they spend for liquor, in a years time we could flood this country with books and pamphlets dealing with the vital questions of the day from the working class point of view and establish the larg- est printing house in America.
 But it is not with the money phase of the evil that we are alone concerned. Indeed, this is far from being the worst of it. What the working class need above all is character, manhood, self-respect. Without these all is hopeless and it is precisely these that are de- stroyed by saturating the system with the vile and debasing intox- icants.
 All that whisky does for the workers is to keep them in the fet ters of poverty, ignorance and slavery.
 Cut out the booze! The figures recently issued by the government show an appalling increase in the consumption of all kinds of Intox- icants in this country.
 Sober men are needed for the class struggle. Befuddled besotted slaves will never win a battle.
 Less beer and more books; less liquor and more literature; less of everything that debauches the mind weakens the will and destroys the manhood and more of everything that will give us character and con science strength and determination to win the world for the workers.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-01-02
THERE'S ENOUGH FOR ALL.

No man ever yet put forward any logical reason why any man will ing to work should ever want for any necessity of life. There is plenty Of everything in the world for everybody and it is only thrugh for everybody and it is only through ignorance that anybody lives in poverty. If I have all I can eat, why should l try to keep any body else from eating? If l have all the clothes I can wear, why should l be allowed to retain clothes that others need? If I have a good home, why chould I object to others hay ing good homes, too?
 Ii isn't as though there was any lack of these things, that would be different. In such case there might be some excuse for fighting over enjoy life But thcre is no lack, there is plenty of everything. There is no lack of mon ready and willing to dig it. Nobody ever freezes be cause there is not enough food. Men freeze and starve only because the food and coal are privately owned and arc produced and distri- huted only fer private profit.
 Let's dig coal because the people need coal and not because some body wants to make a profit out of it. Let's produce food because the people need food and not be- cause somebody wants profit out of the production thereof. Let's

Young Vincent Astor can command the services of armies of men, or ap- propriate the goods that thousands of men have made, yet young Vim cent Astor has never performed the slightest service to the world, and probably never will Instead of be- ing a help to the human race, he is a pest, not because he is personally sonally rhfi nrob Ar $n. .-6 ?imi moan or bad, but because the law has given him the power to sit astride Manhattan island and levy tribute upon millions of people who want to live and work upon land that he claims is his.

1t IS predicted that one Of the first
things the new Congress will consider
Will be changing the constitutional date
OF the assembling of Congress. After
having the national barn door unlocked
on two historic occasions. it is purposed
now to see that it shall always be locked
hereafter.
But after all that the President may
do without the help of reconstruction
Congress, the most of it will relate to
the immediate problems of undoing what
the war has done; matters of readiust-
ment rather than Of reconstruction in
the main; though it is conceivable that he
might jam through much reconstruction
legislation between now and March 4.
But, even so, the Republicans find
themselves veXed by another aspect Of
our tardily unrcsponsive system of gov
ernment. Not being in control of the
Executive in any degree between now
and December, 1919, they have no official
New-York tribune., 1918-11-17

This awkward hiatus of a newly
elected Congress powerless to act for the
very purpose for which it was elected,
has occurred at least twice in supreme
moments of national affairs-under An
drew Johnson, at the end of the Civil
War. and now under President Wilson,
at the end Of the World War.
Congress was not in session when Lin
coin was assassnated, and johnson de-
cided to deal with reconstruction of the
South without it's help. He refused to
call it in special session, and went ahead,
with what results all the world knows.
Now. at the end of actual hostilitles IN
the World War, President Wilson has
Congress on his hands, but it is his own,
obedient and Democratic Congress which
will not give him much concern in his
reconstruction and peace policies.
When peace is formally attained and
proclaimed it will probably be after
March a.. The present Congress will
have expired, and the President, like
President Johnson before him, will prefer
to 20 on handling reconstruction, without
the assistance of a special session of
Republican Congress, except perhaps for
special session Of the Senate to ratify
the peace treaty.
The result probably will be that by the
time the Congress elected by the people
as q reconstruction Congress gets into
the saddle, the Executive power will
have finished the job, or so committed the
country in many respects that the new
Congress will find that what it was
elected to do has either been done by the
President and the old Congress or by the
President alone

there may a great smashing of those
seniority states. The world is going
through a new growth Of democracy, and
liberal dose is advocated for Congress
in its own household
The time has come, say the representa-
tives of this new thought, for the Ameri-
can Congress to cease to be d pot-boiling,
logrolling coterie Of friends in power
by tradition and by mean considerations
"It is time of the utmost gravity"
said one of these forward looking men.
The tremendous vote Of confidence the
people have just given to the Republican
party has SO enlarged our responsibility
that we should be forever ashamed to
organize on the nasty old pork barrel
basis
"If the committees are constituted
purely on seniority lines by means
Of the pork barrel method - the
method of You do this for me and I will
do that for you,' we shall head straight
for legislation without vision, and we
shall be as blind to the signs of the times
now trying to beat each other away from
the thrones they thought were family
property.
"The Republicans of each House in
caucus ought to select their committee
members, and they ought to choose the
best men for the places. Generally
speaking, everybody knows who the best
men are. There is no difficulty in nam
ing them; the difficulty is in putting
them where they belong. If we don't do
it we shall fail miserably, and pettily,
in this momentous time, and our victory
this month will turn out to be onlv q
patrol encounter before disastrous de-
feat in 1920"

In the former event they will get no
