THE HOP o. THUMB BOY

Of all children difficult to bring vi
successfully, probably the "Hop 0
Thumb" or irrepressible type of boy
is the biggest problem. As one schoo
teacher Essays, You never can put
your finger on him." and as his OWL
mother says, "a mother of boy like
Archie surely deserves special dis
pensation."
The Hop o. Thumb boy is the kind
that "dry cleans" his hands on tow
ell when sent to wash them before
meal time, and who slips away from
thes table afterwards, on the slight
est pretext, to be with the gang.
The remedy? In the first place, one
has to consider, Archie's virtues as
well as his faults. While impulsive
and restless, he is quick to learn if
he "a sufficiently interested, and he IS
warm-hearted. This is often true of
boys Of this type especially if the
affections are trained early to CEN
ter In the home.
When Archie rebels at practicing,
brings home poor marks from school,
makes endless work at home by
throwing his belongings around and
through the daily attractions that
tempt his mother to nag him wears
her to FRAGILE, there has to be
reckoning.
"A first appeal should be made by
the father. If the boy is young his
love for his mother should be the
plea. "See here, if you really care for
her don't make her so much work!
YOU don't want your mother to be
your servant, do you, just because
you're lazy or forgetful?"
Along with this goes the idea of
justice: "fair play" is an appeal that
nearly, every boy responds to. "Do
you think it's fair to make your
mother do your school work or prac-
ticing for you? Then do it yourself
the sooner you begin the sooner it,
viii be done. Don't be such baby
that your mother has to stand over
You and watch or talk to you every
minute"

manage to do it without seeming to

Their company can be discouraged OF

worth the expense if they keep him

is difficult, yet to keep him away
from the gang or "mob" influence is
just what is needed to forge anew

should also include the son.. But fail

POWER BILL
ISDISCUSSED
j. L. Keelor Replies to Ar
guments of Homer T.
Bone on Initiative So

j. L. Keelor, of Sequim, one of the
men sent out by the State Chamber
of Commerce to discuss the initiative
and referendum measures, spoke to
a crowded house in the Cimmercial
club rooms last evening.
Mr.. Keelor made the prediction
that the Hebe Milk bill will be the
only legislative measure voted upon
that will be carried. This bill has re-
cieved the endorsement and support
of the State chamber.
The speaker referred but briefly to
the Forty Mill tax limit bill and the
school bills and devoted most of his
time to the Bone Power bill. He
read the arguments of Homer T.
Bone and replied to each. He said that
the bill should not be considered from
the standpoint of the conservation
of the states hydroelectric resources.
Even the proponents of the measure
did not claim that it is a conserva-
ton measure, he said. Nor, he said,
should it be considered from the
standpoint of measure intended to
reduce electric rates as the subject
of rates is not mentioned in the bill
and the state is given no control ov-
er rates.
Replying to Mr.. Bones argument
that it is not the intention of Seattle
and Tacoma to condemn other cleo
trical systems, Mr.. Keelor said Mr..
Bone doesn't know what the future
city councils of those two cities in
tend to do. He pointed out that the
bill empowers the councils of these
two cities to condemn the power
plants in smaller cities and then fix
rates discriminatory to these small
er communities and favorable to the
larger cities. gr-
Mr.. Keelor called attention to the |
rapidly increasing volume of tax-free
property in the city of Seattle. The |
valuation Of the tax free property |
in Seattle now, he said, equals the
assessed valuation Of ten counties the |
size of Benton. eve do not object
to Seattle writing more and more
off the city tax rolls but we
do object to the politicians of Seat
tie whiting away the volume of |
against which taxes can
be levied for state purposes" said
the speaker.
"The water power of this state
group or body of individuals, it does
MT matter whether the group be a
hundred men holding stock in cor
poration or whether it be a city of
1OO, 900 people. The Bone bill doesn't
provide for state development Of wa
ter power resources. In fact it pro-
vides for taking these resources out
Of the control of the state and hand
ing them over to the politicians of
Seattle and Tacoma. This is a far
worse than development by private
capital for the state does retain SUI
pervision and control over the pri-
vate companies and has something
to say as to what rates shall be-"
At the conclusion of his talk Mr..
keelor informed the audience that he
IS democrat and that his name will
appear on the general election bal
lot. as one of the democratic presi-
Dental electors.

record of the Daugherty hearings to
show that great sums of money had
been fraudently collected from the
government by the profiteers. He de-
clared that no repayments had been
demanded and none of those who de-
frauded the government have been
prosecuted.
Mr.. Baxter devoted considerable
time to the Esch- Cummins railway
act and cited the reduction of freight
rates as one of the vital needs of
the farming industry. He said that
excess rates allowed under this law
amounted to $125 per year to each
family in America. He declared that
Senator LaFollette does not advocate
the governments taking over the
railroads at one fell swoop but by
orderly and business like processes.
He condemned the tariff law as det-
rimental to the farming industry, say
ing that the higher prices which the
farmer gets for his products by rea-
son of the tariff is eaten up many
times in the higher prices which he
is forced to pay on manufactured
articles.
The Federal Reserve law he said
is of no real benefit to the farmers
or to the country banks. He deplored
the increase of tenant farming thru
out the country and the shrinking in
farm land values.
He defended Senator LaFollette's
proposal to give congress the right
to recall decisions of the supreme
court by saying that nowhere in the
constitution is the supreme court Civ
en- the right to pass upon the consti-
tutionality of acts of congress but
it is a power which the court has
usurped. Senator LaFollette, he said
proposes only that the constitution
] be made specific on this point.

insisted that in the smaller countries

In our issue of August 14th we car

ming militarism which we credited to
the Amalgamated Food Workers OF
America and which should have been
credited to the National Committee OF
the Amalgamated Metal Workers OF
America. While we know that the
Food Workers are most assuredly en-
tirely in accord with this resolution,
we feel that we owe It to the Metal
Workers to print this rrection.-Ths

raised there, not to be lowered again.
These are stern, strong men, drawn
out of the crucible of the class war;
men who are loved by the whole pop
ulation-except the nepmen. Every
one of these men has brilliant war
record-they have tales and anecdotes
to tell that breathe of the romance
of the last century.
Religious Worker.
The attitude toward the Communist
Party is best exemplified by the fol-
lowing incident which took place a
few days before l arrived in Kiev:
A worker had applied for admittance
to the Communist Party, but before
being accepted sent letter to the
party asking that his name be
stricken from the list as he intended
to be married in church-to please
his bride. OF course, this is forbid
den to members of the party.
The young man was called before
a factory meeting, where the nom
party members demanded that he
also be expelled from the union for
the outrageous act of renouncing the
party for the sake of "petticoats." 1t
took the combined efforts Of all the
Communists present at the meeting
to make the workers understand that,
altho as a, matter of course, the
worker could not join the Communist
Party, still he could not be excluded
from the union. Nevertheless they
persisted, and the matter is not yet
settled.
Organizing Ability.
August Bird demonstrated the or
ganizing genius of the Russian Com
munists, the Young Communists and
the Young Leninists (the Pioneers)
for upon them rested the organization
of the demonstration. It was DEM
onstration full of revolutionary enthu-
siasm, as only Russian workers and
peasants manifest 1t. Behind this
enthusiasm is the determination OF the

as the Young Leninists proclaim.
Workers. peasants, soldiers, clerks,
young workers and cbildren-old men
and women. and young ones, yet de-
termined to defend the Revolution to
death--and to heed the call for aid
from the west or east, when the work
ers OF the capitalist countries are
ready to overthrow capitalist rule.
The Kiev workers are only speci.
men OF what Soviet Russia thinks and
does. Let the workers Of other coun-
tries but demonstrate the spirit and
the will to power that the Russian
workers and peasants display. and

well. why not?

well, why not?
"Do you know, Mr.. and Mrs. Citi
zen Of Wisconsin, that Wisconsin is
today the seventh state in the Union
in militarism? Do you know that in
spite of the big cut made in appropria-
lions in the last legislature that there
are only six states in the Union hav-
ing larger national guard than Wis
consins?
"And this in state that is over
whelmingly committed to peace! This
in a state controlled by progressives
who have made attacks on militarism
one of the cardinal points in their
platforms!"
But in the appropriation of funds
for militarism, Wisconsin ranks even
worse. The last available annual re-
port of the Chief of the Militia Blu
reau reveals the fact that in the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1922, only three
states appropriated more money for
their National Guards than Wisconsin
did. For the fiscal year ending June
80, 1923, only four states, Michigan
New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania,
spent more than Wisconsin for the
national Guard.
Pacemaker in War Preparations.

make the world safe for capitalist de.
mocracy, LaFollette's state, Wiscon-
sin, rallied to the imperialist colors

dollars of the working masses.
Let us listen to a glorification of
Wisconisn's war efforts by John M.
Nelson, now national director of La
Follette's presidential campaign, as he
delivered it to Congress on behalf of
the Wisconsin delegation, on July 10,
1918:

Chief, has had our unanimous support
on all war issues. When he asked
for appropriations, we gave him all he
asked; when he asked for authority
to issue bonds, we gave 1t to him;
when he asked for authority to control
our food, fuel, railroads. telephones,

gave him the authority; indeed, we
did not hold back as delegation

Support War Loans.
And from the Milwaukee Journal Of
October 10, 1918 we learn of the
strong support accorded the various
war loans in the home of LaFollette,
now seeking workingmen's, votes as
an anti-war candidate. We quote:
