If our mem'ry serves us right
How 1t used to be pleasure

Day came to its peaceful end.
One nice thing. too. was the sidewalk
Level with the street then set,

Then,-no boys, bicycles riding.
Scared you-rushing up behind
Walking was a recreation
For the body. and the mind.
Yes oh-S&s. You walked at leisure
Gazing. If you chose, at Mars,
With no fendish toot to warn you
-, From near death, at auto-cars
No need then. as now: for binders,
Or a parasol at night,
AS a shield from blazing head LIGHTS
Threatening you with loss Of sight.
You could cross the street serenely,
ana not wait to do your Bit
Calculating on the distance
or the autos you might hit
UT. could calmly, on your doorstep
Watcn at ease the passers-by,
And not feel. in twenty minutes,
Glad within the house to hy,
Oh! These everlasting autos,
Back and forth. spring. summer, fall.

THE EMBODIMENT OF THE
PROLETARIAN WILL TO POWER

Editors Note.--Every day until
publication has been completed, the
DAILY WORKER will publish
new chapter from the book, Len
in: The Great Strategist Of the
Glass War;" by A. Losovsky, secre-
tary OF the Red international Of
Labor Unions. The eighteenth chap
ter is entitled, 1.-THE Embodiment Of
the Proletarian Will to Power"
NNE Of Lenin's most notable char
~ acteristics was his will power.
He knew nothing but the revolution,
and had been pursuing this end with
all his energy. So-called public opin-
ion had no influence over him. He new
er paid any attention to what the other
paid any attention to what the other
fellow will say" He always felt the
pulsation of the working class, be.
cause he was so closely connected
with it. He also knew how to swim
against the current, how to over
come obstacles, whenever this was de-
manded by the revolution. Let us re-
collect how he passed to Russia thru
Germany at the beginning Of the revo

luton without paying the least atten-
ton to the insinuations of the capital
list and reformist press the world over
He possessed the ability to concen-
trate his will power and to strike the
enemy at the weakest spot. While
he was very patient with his friends
he never knew or showed any toler-
ance to the betrayers of the working
class. When a friend Of yesterday
would become the enemy of today Len
in would pursue the same tactics of
uncompromising hostility. His tactics
were always elastic, which enabled
him to utilize even the slightest mis-
take Of his opponent in order to drive
a wedge into the ranks Of the enc
my. He never Stunned responsibility
especially in decisive moments or
struggle. He always knew what he
wanted. The most characteristic fea-
ture of the political and moral physi-
ognomy Of Lenin, this gigantic con-
centration of the will Of the prole-
tariat, we're his extraordinary will
power and his all-inclusive spirit.

WORKERS REVOLT
IN PHILIP
r M Ed TRIFL {
Weeks Says Finances"
Are in Sound Condition

Everything is lovely in the Philip.
pine Islands under the dictatorship OF
General Leonard Wood, according to
the report of Secretary of War Weeks,
except that there have been two ser
ious outbreaks of natives, and that the
Philippine legislature has presented
several petitions to the president.
Secretary Weeks attempts to mini
mize these "trifes." 1.-THE outstanding
Accomplishment of General Woods
administration in the islands is the
sterilization Of exchange. AS a result
Of rigid economy and careful super
vision, the finances of the government
are in sound condition" says the sec
Rotary of war.
The secretary Of war fails to men,
ton that the natives of the Philippine
Islands have been clamoring for indie.
pendence. He characterizes the dis
turbance in Surigao as an outbreak
which involved thousands of ignorant
Christian religious ganatics who had
fallen under the influence of unprinci-
pied leaders, who used them for their
financial advantage"
6elittIes Struggle for Independence
Unable to ignore the missions sent
to the United States asking that the
dictatorship of Wood cease and that
the Philippine Islands be granted indie
pendence, Secretary Weeks attempts
to belittle the agitation for independ.
ence. Two missions representative
of the legislature visited the United
States during the year." he says. It
is noticeable that the war department
fails to mention the purpose of these
missions, which was to seek Philip
pine independence from control by
American capitalists. THE first Of
these, headed by the speaker of the
lower house of the Philippine legisla-
ture," declares Weeks, presented a
petition to the president to which a
formal reply was made"
''This reply was we'll received and
appreciated" Weeks continued, un
mindful Of the growing agitation for
independence among the Philippines
Notwithstanding the fact that it was
in effect, denial of the requests Of
the petition"
THE second mission, headed by
prominent leaders of the three parties
participating in the last general cleo
ton in the islands, arrived at about
the close Of the congressional hear
ings. but was given an opportunity tc
set forth its views. There was no re
sulting legislation"
