sympathy I have referred to between

as a commonplace that mans inhu-
manity to man is as naught compared
to woman's inhumanity to woman. 1t

Carl Ahlteen, who ran the Swedish

wrote particularly interesting line of
correspondence. He refers to the army
as ''the uniformed murder crowd Of

In discussing the attitude of the war
he says:
"Let the cat talk. Raise the general

litical king of the nation and is full Of
the devil" Ahlteen defines the sabcat
as "a peculiar animal with sharp claws
which always appears where the wages
are low and conditions rotten"
In referring to the farmer he says:
"The cats diligence in summer has
always taught the farmers that It
won't do to crush the organizers of the

One Of the most grave menaces
Of the l. w. w. in war times was the

What Sabotage 10.
Sabotage is loafing on the job. Sab
otage is the reduction Of production
through the destruction of machinery.
Sabotage is slowing down Of factories
through "carelessness" by workers.
Sabotage is the burning 9f factories
and wharves. Sabotage to put 1t
briefly, Is any old thing which will
bother the boss or cause his factory
Or plant 10 lose money. t}
Sabotage took hundreds of different
forms all over the country. In Iowa
within the past few weeks sabotage
has taken the form of the burning Of
thrashing machines in Pottawattamie
county. Matches are placed in bundles
of wheat or oats, causing fires when
they are run into the separator; soap
is placed in engine boilers, causing ex-
plosions or clogging of the tubes. h.,
Sabotage took the form in the lum-
Der districts of driving spikes into
logs, causing destruction of the saws.
In California fruit lands copper nails
were driven into fruit trees, green
fruit was picked and placed in boxes
below layers Of ripe fruits.
Sabotage was preached and prac-
ticed wherever the I. w. w. fourished.
Three distinct pamphlets advocating
sabotage were circulated by the 1. w.
w. headquarters, one by Elizabeth
Gurley Flynn, another BY Walker
Smith, radical among I. w. w. radi-
calls, and another is translation of
French work by Emile Peugot.
The wooden shoe is the l. w. w, en-
blem Of sabotage, and appears on
much of its literature. The black cat
is another emblem Of sabotage. A
worker who practiced sabotage is
known as a sabcat or sab, or merely
a cat. b#E
The l. w. w. had its own slang
argot, which was frequently used in
it's literature and correspondence. Al
of the organization was
"wobbly" or a "rebel." A member of

Republicans in Rouse Criticise
Measure as UnduIy

TOUCHES CT POLITICS
Principal Complaints Are Inequalities
in levying Taxes and Charges
of Waste in Govern
ment Expenditures.

Washington, Sept. 10. - The War
revenue bill came in for general Re-
publican criticism during the debate
in the House. &c..
Inequalities and Inconsistencies in
levying taxes, characterized as un-
necessarily high, and charges of waste
in government expenditures, were the
principal complaints made in prepared
speeches by Representative Fordney
Of Michigan and Moore of Pennsyl-
vania, ranking Republican members
Of the Ways and Means committee.
Both, however, promised to vote for
the bill in nonpartisan furtherance of
American success in the war, despite
their criticisms. .es:..'
Hearings by the Senate Finance
committee on the bill were confined
to objections to minor provisions. u
Charge Excessive Taxation.
Excessive taxation and failure to
raise tariff rates were emphasized by
Representative Fordney, who said the
bill proposed to secure As per cent of
this years actual expenditures ($18,-
000,000,000 exclusive of Allied loans)
by taxation. AS alleged extravaganza
in expenditures, Mr.. Fordney cited
government contracts, some, he said,
netting profits up to 1000 per cent.
There were touches of politics in
discussion. While partisanship had
not entered into framing the bill, Rep
resentative Fordney charged that
President Wilson alone has shown
partisan politics" and Mr.. Moore de-
clared that the Republican minority
was helpless in framing the bill and
II control would not have brought
forth the measure as It stands.
Urge creeI Be "kieked Out"
Among instances of alleged waste !,
of government money; Representative
Fordney included certain publications
issued by Chairman Creel Of the com.
mittee on public information, who, he :
said, should be kicked out" Repre-
sentative Moore called attention TO the

Urging an investigation of govern
ment contracts which include taxes
on contractors expenses, Representa-
tive Madden of Illinois declared. they

ROSE CLIMBS THREE STORIES
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

Seattle Post-lntelligencer)
They are college-bred roses, and
their high education seems to have
had a very elevating effect on their
aspirations. Students on the Univer-
sity of Washington campus last week
have noticed on an UNCOVERED wall of
Denny Hall, way up on level with
the third floor windows, a spray of
coppery roses. The branc h which
bears them reaches ont from the
heavy ivy vines and is the only sign
of a rosebush in the neighborhood,
Some curiosity was aroused as to
whether the flower was grated on the
ivy or whether it was rooted in the
wall. Neither superstition was found
to be correct, A number of years ago
the rose blosSomed modestly near the
ground. Then either the crowding of
the ivy or the lofty ambitions inspired
by the intellectual surroundings
forced it to shoot up so that it could
extenod its blossoms to the sun just
outside of the windows used by the
public speaking and Spanish depart
ments.
It's long, branches stem is cover
ed by the ivy and its top flourshes in
the soft and musical sounds from the
Spanish room and the forceful ora
tory from the public speakers.
