SAYS GOVERNMENT
 l. ID BE CONTROLLED BY THE SOCIALISTS
Little Shooting May Be Necessary If Profiteering Class Revolts, Is Pre-
 diction of Hillquit
By A..oeIat.s prs.s

Albany, N. r.. February 1s.--Morris Hillauit, socialist leader, today pre- dicted that control of the United States government would pass peacefully into the hands of the socialist party when 1t enrolls the working class, He is- sued q warning, however. that Tt is not impossible the people of this coun try will be compelled to supplement their political action with a little shooting" if the profiteering class re- volts after the majority of the peo- pie are ready to introduce substantial reforms Ky legal, constitutions! methods.a
 Testifyins before the assembly ju- dietary committee at the investigation of the five suspended socialist assem- blymen charged with dlsloyalty, Mr. Hillquit denied that the socialist party intended to promote its programme by other than Legislative action. parIia- mentary action and in peaceful way"
 But, while he asserted the party was not plotting bloodsned to achieve it's aims, MT. Hillquit declared his story has shown that when the privileged minority is about to lose it's privileges II becomes desperate and tries to de- stroy reform or lawful revolutionary movements by force.7
 Tn that case it will be up to the majority of the people to defend their rights against such lawless. powerful, privileged minorities and in a case Of that kind 1t may come to shootia &, ,r he concluded.

BERGER EXTOLLED

Mir. Hilquitt made his prophecy" to- ward the close of his srilling cross-ex- Ianination by Martin Conboy of com mittee counsel. who quoted Victor l.. Berger IS saying socialists and work CTS must be prepared "to back up their ballots with their bullets."l MT. HiIl- quit who extolled Berger, interpreted that as meaning to defend themselves after they had como into power through the ballot
 Mir. Hillquit also eulogized Eugene ". Debs. serving sentence for viola ton of the espionage act. and asserted that if he had his way Debs would be- come the socialist candidate for Presl dent.
 After MT. Hillauit had left the stand he was succeeded by otto Branstetter of the national socialist party, who testified that. exclusive of the foreign speaking branches. oniy 1 per cent of the dues paying members of the party are aliens and II per cent are Amer ican born. He was called to refute charges that the party was dominated by aliens
 Mir. Conboy's questioning of Mir. Hill-
 quit on the socialist concept of "revo-
 lution." which the witness had stated
 had mo romantic significance of bar ricade fights" followed d morning ses-
 sion during which Mir. Hillquit was
 Srlieu oh the sociaiiSt attltude toward
 war.
 Tn this connection. he had testified socialists had opposed" but not lob structed@ the war because in the case
 of the United States it was not de fensive; had repudiated the. sentiment "my country. right or wrong" and the slogan, Stand behind the President,
 and had clung 10 the true doctrine of patriotism--the ideal of international
 working class solidarity"
 In connection with Mir. Hillduit's
 previous testimony that socialists wers
 not paeifists the prosecution show ed
 that the Young Peoples Socialist
 Leagu had printed blanks claiming
 exemption from military service on the
 ground of conscientious objections
 This printing. MT. HilIquit claimed,
 was not authorized by the socialist

WORK AND BE HAPPY.

"Only fools and horses work" is Ia quotation often used and be- lieved by the constitutionally lazy, who seem to regard work as an affliction. This spirit seems to per meate in all quarters. But when we face the facts, points out the Valdez Miner, we find them differ ent. for the happiest people are those who work The idle rich and the idle loafers are dangerous class es. The people who work when they feel like it or not at all, are mostly trouble seekers-and finders too. If you are not too old and stubborn, get away from the delu- sion that labor is a misfortune The leaven of life is work, and content ment is a by-product. There is more pleasure in earning dollar than in spending it. Yet many per sons talk as if they believed the contrary.
 Cultivate the spirit of cheerful ness and contentment. There is too much unrest in evidence. While work is plentiful and wages good, word of caution may be timely. Now is the time to save of your surplus to take care of yourself when. work is dull or you are un- able to work.
 No, work is not an affliction.

upon civil service board member.
 She will impart to the position that touch of grace and of delicacy, of sympathy and understanding which, while altogether human, is peculiarly feminine, and which all ways has been too conspicuous by its absence in both the legislative and administrative operations of our Government in its direct dealings with men, women and children.
 With universal suffrage almost here, we may look forward to more of this sort of thing in government as time goes on.
 When the women of the country are in possession of the ballot on an equality with the male voters, it is to be expected that they should demand and take a more prominent place in the administration of the Governments affairs than before.
 And the Government is not likely to suffer any i'll effects from it.

OLDTIMER TELLS HOW
 TOMBSTONE GOT NAME

TOMBSTONE. Ariz.-A prospec- tors curious sense of humor was responsible for the naming of this town, which recently has gotten into the news dispatches because of the Bisbee deportation trials being held here.
 According to James F. Duncan, who came here in 1879, the town was founded in that year by Ed Schieffelin, prospector. Schieffelein called his mine near the site of the present courthouse the Tombstone mine," Duncan said, because the region was full of drab rocks that resembled tombstones.
 Tradition has it, however, that Schieffelin's friends frequently ral- lied him for his faith in the locality, and told hm that he would find his tombstone here. After the prospec- tor had made his fortune here, in

According to statement made
 by former Secretary of the Interior Lane shortly before his retirement, there are over twelve million un- derfed children in this country. Not, be it said, because there is not an ample supply of food to keep all of them in the most splendidly nourished condition, but because the great American business hog, with his backing of national and state legislators, found in the war a gold en opportunity to test just how much might be squeezed out of the public with safety, and is still con

CANNERY LABOR.

Upon the request of the cannery- men of Alaska, the publicity bureau of the Territory turned itself into registration bureau of cannery workers this spring. Four hundred people put their names down as being willing to work in Alaskan canneries this season. Upon the list, says the Douglas Island News, were the names of many good sour dough Alaskans who were com potent to work in every branch of the packing business. The list has been submitted to cannerymen not once but many times recently. How many were there hired from that list? Not one!
 The jails of the Territory are full of the scum of the earth ttat has been brought to Alaska to work. Most of the crime in the Territory, and in particular in the First divi- sion. was committed by aliens brought North by cannerymen as laborers. While these people crowd our jails, four hundred good Alas kans who are willing to work are denied the privilege. .
 It is true that the fish in the waters tapping the shores of Alaska belong to the people of the whole United States That is conceded. The right of absentee cannery own CTS to dump criminals into the Ter ritory to jeopardize the property and life of the citizens of Alaska is not conceded. .-.: -
 Why not give those four hundred Alaskans who are on the waiting list a chance? They are at least as good as that boatload that was swept up out of the iails of the nery work short time ago. It is conceded that there might be some thing wrong with the head of a person who will spend winter and summer, year in and year out, aid ing in the development of Alaska but a weakness of the head should not indicate a weak back, and d strong back is what is needed in cannery work. .: .~.s.. .@*...
 Give Alaska's -four hundred" a chance. Leave the criminals of the slums down where they belong. Help build up the Territory by giving work to real Alaskan ffomebuilders wherever possible. Localize your industries so that Alasalans can speak of "our canneries" instead of "the canneries," and incur the good will of the people instead of slight ing them and using the land that they call home as dumping ground for the offscourings of the earth.

ducting the experiment with avid desire for more profits, secure in the knowledge that as long as the public is willing to endure he will not be molested. Twelve million children with ill-nourished bodies in a great, free country which pro- duces two and three times the prod uctS necessary for the support of its inhabitants.
 Considered from the standpoint of production, says the Nome Nugget, America is veritabe Hand of milk and honey" a land of abundance, overflowing with plenty Yet chil- dren must suffer in mind and body for lack of proper food and tens of thousands of sober, thrifty citizens are compelled to resort to the last extremes of economy to keep the wolf from the door, although re- ceiving in return for their labor double and, in many cases, treble the wages of former years.
 The cry of the plutocratic press that lack of production and in- creased costs of labor are the causes of high prices is almost daily re futed by the evidence produced by such bodies as the Federal Trade commission, showing beyond dispute that those whom the corporation collared press seeks to protect are making immense profits. Only re- gently, Senator Capper pointed out on the floor of the senate that the wool trust made a profit of one billion three hundred million dollars uuti lfie year we WSIe SeilUlilS our boys to France, curtailing our food consumption and loaning our savings to the Government; and that eighteen thousand new American millionaires were created during the same period. ..-" F.. ..- .
 Spacious lies and subtle evasions cannot conceal the fact that it takes something more than just profits to breed new millionaires at the rate of nearly fifty a day and pile up huge dividends like those of the wool trust.
 Yet, despite the evidences of ex- tortion and unjust profits; despite the revelation of shocking condi- tions presented in the statement of Lane, and regardless of the com plaints of the people whom it is supposed to serve, complaisant Congress bows to the dictates of those who profit by such conditions and closes its eyes to the unalter- able fact that there is no defensi- ble excuse for such a situation in a land which annually produces dou- ble and even treble the quantity of living commodities required by its citizens.

good -natured irony he is said to have named the town after the fate that had been predicted for him.
 Schieffelin was found dead in log cabin in the state of Washington May 12, 1897. According to his wishes, his body was brought back to his tombstone" and buried near here. His pick and other tools were buried with him. Above the grave his friends erected simple monu- ment, fashioned after the rude man. ner of a prospector's claim-stake- merely a pile of unevenly-shaped rocks.
