Daugherty Days

The oil investigation is taking back seat.
A new scandal is now in the spotlight. ME-.
Daugherty, who is charged with the task OF
ferreting out the criminals OF the nation IS
now appearing in his true light as the arch-
defender of the worst criminals and as an
active participant in all the heinous crimes
that his own department is supposed to pre-
vent.
The testimony of Miss Stimson before the
Wheeler committee has already revealed
Daugherty as the perpetrator OF sufficient
crooked deals to warrant not only his I'M
parchment but his immediate imprisonment
for long term. Yet, it is known by all that
thorogoing as the present investigation might
possibly be, only an infnitessimal fraction of
the corruption and fraud with which the De-
partment of Justice is reeking, will be dis
closed.
1t is no accident that the man who is the
connecting link between the secret chambers
of the government bureaucracy and the finan-
ciers and industrial Cars should be guilty OF
the worst crookedness with which our govern
ment is infected 1t is natural for the man
whose task it is to do the toughest and dirtiest
work for the employing class to be found sell
ing privileges, dealing in shady oil stocks, and
sheltering every notorious lobbyist in the Capt.
tai. Who could do a better job in protecting
bootleggers, in cleaning up on the Stock Ex-
change, than the head of the Department Of
Justice which has railroaded to jail large
numbers of workers and has organized an
army of thousands Of strikebreakers to smash
the labor unions and break the strikes? In
deed, it is most fitting for the government Off
Ger who personifies the highest degree of the
strikebreaking power of the state, who SYM
bolizes all the harshness and cruelty of the
ruling class, to be the essence and incarnation
Of capitalist government at its worst in the
lowest depths of the nadir of corruption.
: For the workers and farmers whom Mr..
Daugherty has terrorized and bounded these
Daugherty days afford a splendid opportunity
for action in self-defense. Now is the time
when the working masses must force the gov
eminent to get rid of Daugherty and his ilk.
Now is the time to make Mr.. Daugherty, at
least in part, pay for the crimes he has COM
mitted against the workers in breaking the
last shopmen's strike and in sabotagiEg the
numerous other struggles of the worklngmen.
Rafting skeletons in Mr.. Daugherty's face is
not enough. The workers and farmers must
bury Daugherty and all that he stands for as
political force in the country.

A Worthwhile Task

Our attempt to bring home to the great mass
of workingmen in the industrial centers and in
the rural sections the rude realities involved in
the disclosures of the oil investigation is an
effort which concerns very vitality every man
and woman who is compelled to work for a
living.
The primary purpose of our getting out a
special edition chock full of facts and giving
a sound explanation of the whole sordid drama
now being enacted in the national Capital is
to prevent the employing class from pulling
out Of their present hardships unscathed. What
we are striving to achieve in our Teapot
Special" is a straightforward, clear-cut presen-
tation of the relationship between the govern
ment and the bosses in such fashion as to
help the organization of the workers and
farmers who are only the victims of the con-
ditions giving rise to the vicious thefts which
our present capitalist body-politic is sweating
from every one of its pores.
The fact that American warships have be-
come the taxis of the Standard Oil interests,
the deplorable man-killing conditions of en-
ployment in the oil industry, the imperiaist
world struggle for oil are all part and parcel
of the whole capitalist system of exploitation
OF the workers and poor farmers, and are as
much the concern of the laboring masses as is
the Teapot holdup. What the working and
farming classes must do for their own self
preservation, is to organize themselves polit-
ically and economically to uproot every trace
and vestige of the capitalist system of produc-
ton and exchange giving rise to these oppres-
sive conditions.
That is precisely what our Teapot Special
is aiming at That is exactly what we are
heading for. The distribution of this issue is
most worthwhile task which every working
man and farmer should gladly undertake to
carry out in order to hasten the end Of all
these mortal dangers confronting the working
people-in order to make impossible the re-
currence of all Teapot tragedies and their dire
consequences

MENTIONING THE MOVIES
BY PROTECTOR



Yes, it's motion picture described
ON the billboards as a "super-fea-
ture." The title refers to the au-
idience after they have paid their adj
mission.
A taxt-driver wants to be a novelist
but his stuff misses fire until he palms
off Russian dairy as his own ex-
periences. Right away he gets big
reputation and a rich wife. He IS
found out in time, she goes thru the
routine struggle between pride and
love-" and while she is making up her
mind he tries to drive over a cliff.
The property man was on the lob,
however, with q tree properly placed
Tor the rescue, SO Harrison Ford is
saved for the next "super-feature .
Enid Bennett as the leading lady is
particularly wooden, but with such
story and direction it is well to be
charitable.
A nasty little stab Of anti-B olshevik
propaganda enlivens the show. The
stolen diary was taken from a dead
White Guard by an escaping British
spy. The White lay under a road
sign reading, "To Finland' in three
languages SO that refugees might
make no mistake about the road out
Of Russia. It is humane govern
ment, after all, that substitutes road
signs for sentries at the border. A
newspaper clipping also pays its re-
spects to the Reds in this. senseless.
foolish film.
The anti-propaganda is not good
enough to make the picture worth
while seeing even from this angle.
Few worse Aims have been made.

Time to Act

The Workers Party, which has for the last
two years waged an energetic campaign for
the organization of national Farmer-Labor
Party along class lines, is launching a cam
paign to redouble these efforts.
Ne better time could have been chosen for
ralying the exploited workers and poor farm
ers to decisive political struggles against their
capitalist enemies.
No one can deny that there is a tremendous
wave Of establishment, disappointment, and
enlightenment amongst the mass of workers as
to the real role of the government and the
constitution in their day-to-day struggles. But
this great discomfort this powerful mass ac-
ton, will peter out and lose its momentum as
force for fundamental social change unless
it is organized and turned into channels of
effective action to uproot the capitalist control
of government and industry. The best and
most efficient weapon that the workers and
farmers can now employ in this great political
crisis is a mighty political party of their own,
organized to fight uncompromisingly in behalf
of their class interests and against the class
interests of the capitalist exploiters.
The appeal of the Workers Party for funds
to intensity this campaign of organization
amongst the farmers and workingmen should
bring most generous response. The Capitalist
paign propaganda this year than ever before.
The employers see danger ahead. The work
ers and farmers should utilize the favorable
opportunity to organize themselves to strike
telling blows. A successful campaign means
the sending out of speakers to the shops mills,
Mines and farms. 1t means the printing of a
vast amount of literature that will tell the
story of the bosses plunderbund and it's raw
ages amongst the city workers and farmers
A successful political campaign that will hit
the enemies Of the working masses where it
will hurt most, and when they will be able to
stand blows least involves the expenditure of
funds, the spending of money to put over all
these activities
The appeal Of the Workers Party is an APP
peal not in behalf Of the Workers Party mem
bers, but in behalf of every worker and every
farmer 1t is call to action, action which is
more pressing than ever, against Teapot
politics, farm bankruptcy, government by in
junction, low wages, degrading working con-
ditions, and the whole capitalist system Of
exploitation and oppression of those who work
in the city and in the country. This great APP
peal should meet with the heartiest response.
The workers and farmers should give and give
until it hurts their enemies. Give to the Work
ers Party, Room 214, 1909 N. State Street,

PGULOIDG Dances
Indian Role Before
Garment Strikers

Gorgeous color schemes, romantic
settings and masterful Interpretation
of life in the dance delights large
audiences at the Auditorium Theatre
every night this week. Pavlowa and
her ballet give to the art Of ballet
dancing a new charm in their original
interpretations Of ancient life in
Greece and India. Hundreds of gar
ment strikers attended free at her
invitation.
On Tuesday evening the Greek
Ballot "Dionysus" to the music of
Nicolas Tescherepnine proved a
most delightful number in her re-
pertoire for this season. And no
less delightful was the rendering of
"Ajanta" on Monday evening.
Atlanta" goes back to a period Of
about 500 years B. C. and brings to
life pictures found in the ancient
temples of India. There are three
scenes in this production. The first
scene is powerfully dramatic in its
parade of pilgrims on their way to
the temple In the second scene the
pilgrims, tired and worn with their
long journey lie down to rest. The
third scene gives us their dream. The
picture on the wall translates itself
into a living scene in which the
drama Of $500 years ago is re-en-
acted. This scene is a gorgeous
spectacle Of beauty and color and the
dances are most exquisite. Pavlowa
and Novikof are the two stars Of the
ballet and the rest Of her group ac-
company them most effectively.

Why Not?

with apologies to William Knox
BY BERTON BRALEY
Why shouldn't the soul of a mortal
be proud?
Life goes, 1t is true, like a swift
flying cloud"
But while it is going, and ere he
has died,
A man may do many things worthy
of pride.
The high and the humble, the meek
and the brave,
Are all of them destined, in time, to
the grave.
But while they are living and draw
ing their breath
They may create something that
lives after death.
The builder may build and the singer
may sing,
The painter may paint while times
on his wing;
And when they are buried deep down
in the Crime,
The things they have made will re-
main for all time.
Man conquers the mountains, the
seas and the air.
And deserts turn garden while under
his care,
He does wondrous deeds in the scant
space allowed;
Why shouldn't the soul Of a mortal
be proud?
Up out of the darkness we reach to
the light
And slowly through ages we toll to
the height:
The sole of a mortal is more than
his clay,
The spirit of man can defy all
decay!
So lift up your eyes to the Truth
that is Gods,
In spite of disaster. in face of all
odds,
The spirit of man is not wrapped in
the shroud;
Why shouldn't the soul of a mortal
be proud?
