SUFFRAGE VICTIMS

Writing in THE SUFFRAG-
IST one of the valient women,
who battled for the rights of
her down-trodden sex with the
stupid authorities at Washing
ton, gives the following pithy
sketch of their experiences:
eve were arrested on a charge
of Obstructing the traffic, which
was false charge as we stood
close up to the White House, en-
tirely out of everyone's way.
Then all of sudden policemen
fell upon us. Three men fell
upon each woman and literally
dragged her to the Jail. There
we were cast into cells, and were
allowed none of the privileges of
the murderers who surrounded
us. Some of the women were
placed in cells with delirium trem.
ems patients and DRINKS. We
were fed meat that had live
worms in it. Furthermore, we
were imprisoned without even be.
ing granted a trial by jury. Later
we were released by the Presi-
dent and have recently been de-
cfared unlawfully imprisoned by
the United States Court of Ap.
peals. But the jailing of the
suffrage pickets is a black mark
on American history.

fill the church Golfers.
We do not even say that all
priests are of the wicked kind.
Some of the lower clergy are
conscientious and upright, but
such are kept in the poorly paid
positions without much influence
in the Church. We know Of one
such priest. He is all that can
be expected of priest, and he
is an able man; but he is kept
in an uninfluencial position be-
cause the higher clergy do not
want men with conscientious
scruples and good character in
positions of power and influence
in the church.

EICHT-HOUR
PETITIONS

Many are not sure about the
required method of signing and
certifying the Eight-HOur Petit
tons and have asked questions
about the matter, SO we take this
opportunity to answer some of
them.
The signing need not necessar-
lily be done with ink, but may be
done with pencil, if more con-
venient. However, when it comes
to having names of qualified vot-
ers initiated and certified by
precinct officials, that must be
done in ink.
Voters should sign only those
petitions that are circulated in
their own precinct or city; for the
reason that their names on a
petition do not. count unless GER
titled by an official in each vOt-
ers precinct, hence indiscriminate
signing will lead to endless con-
fusion, or mean that there will
be many uncertified names. .....
And lastly, let me say that it
is the duty of every DEMOCRA-
TIC citizen in the state to sign
the Eight-Hour petition and to
circulate one in order to get many
others to sign as possible. IF
you haven't one sent to this Of
flee and get it.
When the petitions have been
signed and certified by precinct
officials they may either be sent
to us at 1912 California street,
or to the State Office, Box 637,
Everett, Wash.

the Espionage Act. After he
had been held in Jail for a week
under $4,000 bond he was turn

The cause of his arrest, as near
as can be learned, was that he

that he got week in Jail,

CATHOLICS AND
SOCIALISM

In our last issue we published
an extract from a Frisco paper
which gave the statement of a
high Catholic official to the eff
feet that they believed we would
have large measure of Social
ism after the year. Also, we re-
ceived news matter for publica-
ton (but did not publish iD
setting forth an interview given
by Cardinal Casparri Papal Sec
rotary of State, in which he set
forth that the Catholic See was
opposed to Universal Military
Training and in favor of disarm-
ament after the war.
1t is remarkable. to say the
least, how the Catholic Hierarchy
is swinging around to a position
similar to that taken by Social
lists. But it is not because the
powers in the Catholic Church
have reformed and are now try
ing to aid or educate the masses.
We attribute their new move to
their cunning rather than to their
intelligence. They are crafty
enough to see or sense the times
of trouble that die ahead: and
are trying to carry water on both
shoulders. In case the common
people come out victorious they
want to be in position where
they can try to placate the masses
by saying: "Why, we knew So
cialism was coming. We have
been in favor of it for some
time" But it will avail them
nothing.
THE FINISHED MYSTERY,
in its Interpretation of "Revela-
ton" shows that in the times of
trouble following this war the
hierarohical churches will be COM
pletly OverthrOwn because of their
iniquity.
Now, we are MOI, saying any
thing against Catholics in gen
eral. The lay Catholic is little
different from the rest of us.
Our shafts are directed against
the priestly hierarchy that has
always sought, and still! seeks, to
keep the masses in ignorance and
subsection in order that it might
the more easily lord it over them

DIFFICULTIES FORCED BY
CONSUMERS COOPER
ALTON IN AMERICA
(By +. Ralph Cheyney)

The Cooperative. Movement
here has it's difficulties to en-
counter, of course. AS it grows,
so also do its problems grow.
Perhaps the chief difficulties are
those that hinge on it's unsatis-
factory legal status. Corpora
tors have neglected to campaign
for protective laws. The cor
poration laws of many states
rule that voting shall be accord
ing to the number of shares own
ed. This naturally tends to mil
itate against the democratic Roch-
dale principle off zone man, one
VOTE" and to hamper the raising
of capital. Legal difficulties
in forbidding the transfer of
stock, and objections to one So
ciety holding stock in another are
further distractions in the road
of commercial equity.
"Divi.hunting" is particularly
American. "Divi-hunting" is the
practice of demanding high
dividend and measuring the sue
cess of a cooperative in terms of
how large a profit it returns quar-
terly to the purchaser in actual
cash. 1t must be constantly and
consistently guarded against, as
its certain fruit is carelessness as
to the conditions of production of
goods, the fostering of cheap
goods. neglect of union label, sys-
tematic robbing of employees, an
aversion to education and prop
uganda. funds, an emphasis on
small immediate returns instead
of great ultimate results, and
lessening of the revolutionary val
ue of the store. To put it more di-
rectly, ''Divi-hunting defeats CO.
operations ends.
An even more peculiarly Amer
lean problem for co-operators is
that presented by our population.
We are so fluid and SO heterogen-
eous that some have doubted if
we have enough of the stone of
stability and the cement of mu-
tual confidence to even start to
rear the city of cooperation. But
homogeneity of occupation may
make up for lack of homogeneity
of race, and similarity of inter-
ests may replace similarity of
institutions. If only American
co-operators be class conscious,
we need not fear lack of har-
mony.
Competition from capitalist
stores is naturally constant
enemy, but one easily conquered
by loyalty. Chair stores and
local dealers league with each
other to try to destroy the trade
of co-operatives by underselling
them.
Cooperative WHOLESALERS and
central buying make co-operatives
quite competent to successfully
compete with any chain-store sys-
TEN. More dangerous than all
external enemies is schism and
lack of loyalty within the store.
There is but one problem after
all-the human problem. There
is but one answer-"The common
good of each must be the COM
mon good of ALL" And this is
the essence of consumers CO.
operation, with it's motto of each
for all. all for eachy.'

The above dispatch is the first
definite word we have received in
regard to whether the Supreme
Court would leagalize the send
ing of Selective Draft men out of
the country to fight. Our own
opinion is that if the letter and
spirit of the Constitution were
followed, drafted men could not
be sent outside the borders to
fight on foreign soil; yet there
has never been any doubt in our
mind but that the Supreme Court
would stand by the military and
ruling class in this matter. The
Supreme Court has always been
the ultimate bulwark of our rul-
ing class system.

NEvADANS SHOOT
WELL IN MATCHES

Clarence Sage returned yesterday
from Camp Perry, Ohio, where he
attended the national rifle matches
as the representative of Esmeralda
county. He says that, considering
the great difference in atmospheric
conditions, the Nevada team shot
well and, although Sage did not
mention the fact, it is known here
that he did some clever shooting
himself. Owing to almost constant
rain during the matches, the visible
ity was low, something the Nevada
men were moi used to.
Sage will in the neal future start
the organization of a gun club here,
as part of a state organization to
be formed under state supervision.
The organization of these gun clubs
was a thing to which every member
of the teams attending the national
matches was pledged.

Y. & I. ROAD IS
TO GO OUT OF
BUSINESS

The mystery of what was to be-
come of the Las Vegas & Tonopah
railroad, about which there has
been many rumors of late, was Off
cially solved today when ]. Ross
Clark, president of the road, an
nounced that the company would
discontinue operation of the line
between Las Vegas and Beatty on
Oct. 81.
In other words, the company will
tear up the tracks and cease oper-
ating into Goldfield, the business
into Goldfield from the south to be
handled by the Tonopah & Tidewa-
ter railroad, which will take over
the Bullfrog road from Beatty
north.
1t is understood that the rolling
stock and all other equipment of
the railroad has been sold and, as it
is the property of Senator Clark
OF Montana, owned by him person
ally, there will be no loss to stock
holders through the road ceasing
to operate.
The direct cause Of the decision
to cease operating was due to t
action of the routing committee of
the railroad administration in send
ing all freight over the Tonopah &
Tidewater, which is 100 miles
shorter than the l. ". & T., thus
cutting off the freight business.
Freight into Goldfield will now be
routed over the Salt Lake route out
of Los Angeles and delivered to the
Tidewater at Crucero.
c.. E. Redman, traffic manager
of the Las Vegas & Tonopah road,
and T. G. Maddox, chief clerk in
his office, will leave for Los An
geles on Nov. 1.
The railroad, commonly known as
the CLARK road" was built into
Goldfield in 1907. 1t was original
ly planned to operate into Tonopah,
but the breaking of the Goldfield
boom caused the management to
abandon this plan. In 1914 it
vas consolidated with the Bullfrog-
Goldfield from Beatty north.

HUGE BOMBS ARE
USED BY A|RMEN
MUST BE DROPPED FROM
HEIGHT OF 5000
FEET
BEHIND THE AMERICAN LINES

BEHIND THE AMERICAN LINES
IN FRANCE, Oct. 1. = Bombs of
an incredible size are now being
carried by American aircraft, and
some idea of their destructive ca
pacity may be gained from the fact
that they cannot be dropped at a
lower altitude than 5000 feet, so
greatly is the air disturbed by the
explosion.
An amusing incident occurred
when the first of these bombs was
dropped on enemy territory, which
is much harriod by American bomb
ers and consequently bristles with
searchlights and anti-aircraft bat
teries. So terrifying was the ex-
plosion that every searchlight went
out instantly, and the airmen were
deprived of the landmarks on which
they had counted to find their way
home.
Americans in this squadron have
had remarkable success. In two
weeks they accounted for 26 enemy
machines, II of which we're crush
ed, and n balloon. All are i'm
bued with the idea of maintaining
the offensive under all circum-
stances.
Recently two of them, finding
themselves cut off by 20 of the en
envy while returning to camp. refus-
ed to seek safety in flight. In
stead, they swept up at the Ger
man machines, which were all
above them, and so ratified the co.
envy by their unexpected daring that
they actually brought down four of
his machines and, though no: IN
Damaged themselves, were able to
land behind their lines.
A successful attack was made by
members of this squadron not long
ago upon a troublesome enemy
aerodrome which long had evaded
discovery, so cleverly was it con
ccaled in the grounds of a chateau.
The chateau served as the head
quarters of the officers of the Ger
man squadron. and the hangers
were hidden in the edge of the
woods about the house. The Amer
lean squadron was acting as escort
