Pathetic Scene-In Their Sor-

British Army Headquarters in

the Associated Press THE French

zones of actual operations. are COM
ing out clad in all their finery
which represents the styles Of four
or five years ago. Then there are
sturdy peasants with wooden. shoes
and clumsily constructed clothes,
riding IN vehicles drawn by horses

ports are stacked strange assort-

There is deep pathos in all this,
but none struck the correspondent
more forcibly than the appearance
Of a tiny girl who trudged in her
wooden shoes along a hard, dusty
road, her eyes fastened anxiously
upon a dirty rag doll perched pre-
cariously at the top of household
effects which were being rushed
along by an old man. This child

with her most cherished possession

guard It at all cost; her aching feet
were as nothing as long as the doll
was safe.
These refugees are from the
towns within the Somme battlefield
and adjoining it. All these villages
have been emptied of their inhabi-
tants. Some of the places, stripped
Of their population once before dur
ing the battle OF the Somme in 1916,

YOUR DAILY PAPER

1t is impossible for the Coop
News to try to function AS a
newspaper in the sense that "A
daily paper does. Our little pa
per fills a Mich of its own and
does not compete with the dailies.
We know that a large number of
our subscribers also take daily
paper--and as to some of them it
is a capitalist sheet that they
take. We would not have any
criticism TO make if there weren't
a Socialist daily paper available;
but there is. Not only do they
get yellow and colored news, nut
they fail to get news of great
Importance, which is many times
suppressed because it might hurt
business. Not only do they there
by give encouragement TO the
kind of journalism the plumber
bund Is giving the people, but
they are withholding needed sup
port from the dailies that are
fighting their own cause, and Civ
ing untainted news.
We therefore urge all those of
our subscribers who are taking
capitalist dailies to drop the yell
low paper and take the Seattle
Daily Call, a red Socialist paper.

THE CURSE OF THE PRESS

am beginning to seriously
think that the press is curse.
There was a time when journals Of
repute were conducted by their
editors and when those editors
were men Of high moral courage
and Independent minds.
With but rare exceptions, the
press Of the World today has be-
come a mere instrument in the
hands Of interruptions exploiters.
Its power is now used not for the
creation Of a healthy public opin-
ion, or for the real uplifting Of the
masses, but to serve the selfish
ends Of a small band Of adven-
turous capitalists.
Take the average newspaper"
1t is the property mainly Of a
handful Of investors who are per-
sonally interested in turning the
existing economic system into a
good and permanent dividend pro
Queer They are financially con
cerned in many other ventures
and their paper is used 10 further
the pecuniary interests Of the class
to which they belong.
These organs are entirely devoid
Of courage. The editors dare not
touch on questions which would
imperil the profits, or ruffle the
complacency Of their employers
They satisfy their consciences by
leaving all unpleasant" topics
severly alone. And they hire
hardshell Tories 10 do the writing
jobs which they know must be
done by someone to please tn,
boss.
OF course, care is taken to Sc,
that the journalist placed in charge
is himself a "safe' and suitable
man. But the whole thing is q
sham and a pretence The modern
daily e8paper is gilded fraud

Word comes through 2 letter
to local Comrade from the
Comrades Of Ansonia, Conn, tell
ing Of the effective work being
done there by Comrade Cornelius
Leblanc.
The letter states that he is
carrying on an unprecedented
campaign of education among the
people Of Connecticut, bring the
message of Socialism to many
who never heard it before. We
know from having heard Com
rade Leblanc in a series Of lee
lures here in Everett, that no
one is more able at this kind of
work than is this Comrade from
across the seas.
We are in hopes that before
too long, Comrade Leblanc will
see his way to come to the coast
again.

CONSPIRACY OF WEALTH
(By l.. s. Chumley)

Unless you and ! get to think
ing seriously about the miserable
condition that we, the workers
are gradually drifting into, We
will wake up some morning to
find ourselves virtually in state
of slavery. Already we feel the
pinch of hunger The cost of liv-
ing is rising so rapidly that soon
our standard of living will be on
par with that of the Chinese,
Protective organizations that
you and / have helped to build
are being crushed by those in
power. Never before in the his
tory of Labor were the masters
so intent, so determined to ex-
tinguish forever the spark that
inspires the workers to organize
and fight for better living con-
ditions.
Working class papers through
out the country have been de-
MED the right to circulate. Pa
pers that have told the story of
the plight of the workers have
been ruthlessly suppressed. That's
why you and | must resort TO let
ter writing. So that our fellow
workers everywhere may learn Of
the attempt that is being made
to enslave us. So that we may
unite to meet the issue.
In November, 1916, men rep
resenting Eight Billion Dollars Of
corporate wealth organized at New
York City and openly announced
purpose TO crush organized Ia
Dor. They selected the Indus
trial Workers of the World as
the first organization TO concen-
trate upon. Since then the /.
W. w. has been subjected TO un-
believable, inhuman and illegal
violence. Thousands of affidavits
are proof of this. Strikers have
been deported into the burning
deserts and left to die. Frank Lit
tie was murdered at Butte. Hun
dreds of union men thrown into
sickening Bull Pens" starved,
beaten and shot. Seventeen work
ing men were brutality beaten and
boiling tar smeared onto their
bleeding backs at Tulsa, Okla. by
Oil Trust Gun-men, The climax
is reached by the present indict-
ment at Chicago of 1866 members
and sympathizers Of the |. W. w,
on charges of conspiracy. Con-
spiracy to overthrow Capitalism
conspiracy to strike. The charges
against the I.W.W. are Industrial
in character and can be turned
against any labor union.

Society failed in the first in
stance to give the man proper
education; and in the second place
it made his conditions Of livelihood
so prccarious. uncertain and in
adequate that he was not able
to support his wife and children
and then after practically depriv-
ing him of the means of life it
imposes on him the added insult of
prison record. There is al
ways large percentage of un-
employed under our present cap
italist system of production, and
these out f-work citizens must
unavoidably fall upon evil ways.
Is not their condition bad enough
without the added mistreatment
of prison life and the subsequent
indellible stigma? No enlightened
order of society would thus treat
its citizens. But we will yet for
time have to endare such condi-
tons. for we are still living under
CAPITALISM.

WATTS IS
DEPORTED

As reported in last issue the
petition for Writ of Habeas Cor
pus in the matter of Henry w.
| Watts, was taken under advise
ment by Judge Neterer Under
date of February 20, 1913, we
have the judgment of the Federal
judge, which runs as follows
"rhe question in this case to
be determined is whether the pc
/ titioner was accorded fair trial
by the Commissioner Of Immi-
grafton and the Department Of
Labor.
An examination Of the record
which is presented upon this hear
ing established to my mind that
full, fair hearing was accorded,
and the supervision with relation
TO aliens being confined TO the
Department of immigration. the
final determination Of all facts
with relation to the deportation
within the limit fixed by Con-
gress, is intrusted to the proper
immigration officers "whose de-
cision is final unless reversed on
appeal to the secretary Of labor"
The Department of Labor on APP
peal affirmed the Commissioner
of immigration. The jurisdiction
of this court is limited TO ascer-
tanning whether the petitioner
was denied "A hearing, and fair
hearing having been accorded,
which has been affirmed by the
Secretary Of Labor, the Writ must
be denied. Should the petitioner
desire to appeal, he may be re-
leased upon filing a bond in the
sum Of 1900. conditioned as pro-
vided by law to abide the judg-
ment Of the Court of Appeals.
JEREMIAH NETERER,
Judge"
This is the best example of
side stepping and subterfuge that
we have heard of for a long time.
Every point put forward during
the argument on the Petition has
been brusht aside; the plain letter
of the law has been ignored and
shattered like a tablet Of clay
In the first place, the original
decision was made by the Depart
-ment Of Labor and not by the
immigration Department, as the
| judge stated, and there was no
appeal taken from the Immigra-
tion Department to the Labor De
partment. The judge would not
even state the facts properly.
In the second place the state
ment that "the jurisdiction Of this
court is limited to ascertaining
whether the petitioner was denied
a hearing" is not true as to this
case. It is true that the decis-
ions and findings Of the Depart
ment Of Labor as to a question Of
FACTS is final; but all the ques-
tons before the court were ques-
tions Of law, and the applications
Of law to undisputed facts, and
as to this the decision of the
Secretary of Labor is not finals
The time may come when they
will wish they had respected their
own laws.
By some strange coincidence n
reader has just sent us the fol-
lowin detached observation. 1t
fits in nicely at this point:
'The time is now full-blown
when the highesrt recommends
ton to honor and love is, to have
good prison record-by non
legal iudicature, or extra judi
cial" authority.
Packed" judicial benches and
packed" jury panels ARE the
hope of the (bourgcoise) world"
Comrade Watts will undoubted-
ly be in Canada by the time this
gets in the hands of our readers.
We will lose a good co-worker in
the social revolution; but he will
not be lost to the world. Where

LOCAL SCHOOL HAS
GOOD PATRIOTIC RECORD

The high school department of the
Hendersonville public school. includ-
ing teachers and pupils, has purchas-
ed a $50 Liberty bond and converted
it into school property. The interest
on the bond will be used for school
purposes.
All departments of the school pur-
chased $3,4OO worth of War Savings
stamps and those purchased and sub
scribed for total about $4,000. In
addition to this bond others are held
by teachers and pupils as their indi-
vidual purchases.
The record for the local school in
respect to purchasing Thrift Stamps
is regarded as one of the very best
in North Carolina and speaks we'll
for the high spirit of patriotism that
pervades the school.

Henderson Co. OVGrSubSCriDcS'
Its Quota Of Liberty Loan

women of the county have conducted
an extensive campaign and until
Monday night had raised about $77,-
600. They had made a systematic
canvass of the residences of the city
and had kept a bond booth at the
postoffice from day to day.
Chairman R. P. Freeze, of the To-
cal Liberty Loan committee, called a
meeting of the fourteen members on
Monday night and organized for an
intensive campaign on Tuesday and
at the meeting of the committee on
Tuesday night it was reported that
more than $1O5,OOO had been sub
scribed. The committeeman were
grouped into squads of four men
each with the instructions to secure
$4,000 in subscriptions before re-
ed by the committees, which were
quite jubilant when they canvassed
the reports and found that $26,55O
was subscribed on Tuesday.
The committee captains were T. L.
Durham, r. H. Station, w. A. Keith
and c. F. Bland.
W. NJ. Bridges was secretary to the
committee.
The committees experienced little
trouble in raising the necessary
amount to make up the full quota for
this county. Excepting the work
done by the banks, the principal
part of it since the campaign opened
was done by the ladies.

m. E.E. BONAR
ACCEPTS WORK
Of 1ST BAPTIST

Rev. DR.. E. E. Bomar, who for
some time has been engaged in the
ministry at Owensboro, KY, and who
was called to the pastorate of the
First Baptist Church of Henderson
vile on April IA, has accepted the
caT and will begin his work next
Sunday morning, when he will preach
his first sermon as pastor. DR.. Bo-
mar expects to arrive on Saturday.
DR.. Bomar supplied the pulpit on
the first Sunday in April and he ere
arad such a favorable impression that
the church called him on the follow
ing Sunday.
DR.. BOmar before engaging in the
ministry at Owensboro was located in
Charlotte. He is a native of South
Carolina. where the Bomar family is
prominent and we'll known. Several
members of the local church are in
timataIy acquainted with DR.. Bomar
and others are we'll acquainted with
various members OF the Bomar fam
ily. Dr.. Bomar's work has been
crowned with success in his various
fields Of labor. He is what is gener-
ally termed as "a strong man." He
delivers a good, interesting message
in simple, unaffected style. He has
a strong personality. He is hard
worker. a good student, and a man
full Of action. Nothing but the best
OF reports have been heard of his
work and the church feels very for
tunate in being able to secure his
services as pastor.
The call was on the condition that
the church <5ay DR. Bomar a salary
of $4,000, give him the use of the
parsonage, option of an annual vaca-
ton Of four weeks, and paid expenses
as a delegate to the State and South
ern Baptist conventions.

SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY
WITH METHODIST MAY S

In harmony with the awakening of
nature into new life, the Methodist
church will hold Rally Day on next
Sunday, May 5. During the past
winter many have been kept from at
tending Sunday school and church
services, but next Sunday is to be a
time of in-gathering, a time of gen.
eral greeting, a renewal of old
friendships, as we'll as an awakening
of dormant energies in the Masters
work. 1t is expected that there will
be no vacant seats.
