people, and he feared that perhaps
without him they would perish. And
10, his heart was aflame with the fire
of desire to save them and to lead
them upon an easy road. And the
light Of that fire sparkled in his eyes.
But they, beholding his burning eyes
thought he had grown furious, and
they became as wary as wolves. They
pressed closer, so that they might
the more easily seize and slay him.
But he knew at once what was in their
minds, and therefore his heart burned
within him all the more brightly. Still
the forest sang it's gloomy song, and
the thunder resounded and the rain
poured down.
What shall I do for the people?"
cried Danko, outshouting the thunder.
And suddenly he tore his chest open
with his hands, and wrenched out his
heart, and held it high above the
heads of the multitude.
1t blazed as brightly as the sun,
nay, brighter. And the forest grew
silent, lit with this torch Of surprising
love for mankind. And the darkness

thicket, shivering, it was swallowed
by the foul jaws of the marsh. The
people turned to stone with amaze
ment.
Forward" cried Danko.
And he leapt to the van Of the
marchers, holding high his burning
heart, and Herewith lighting the road.
They f1ocked after him, curious and
fascinated. Then once more the
forest lifted its voice, swaying the
treetops in wonderment, but the roar
was lost in the tramp of Danko's
followers. All forged on, swiftly and
bravely, drawn by the miraculous
spectacle of the burning heart. And
some persisted, but they persisted with
out plants or tears. And Danko was
marching before them, and his heart
burned and blazed.
And 10, suddenly the forest parted
for them, parted and remained behind
dense and dumb. And Danko with
his followers plunged into a sea of
sunlight and pure, rain-washed air
The storm was there behind them,
above the forest. But here the sun
shone, the steppe breathed gently,
the grass scintillated with rain-drops,
and the golden river glittered. II was

muffled tumult. And it grew as dark
in the forest as though all the nights
that ever fell upon earth had gathered
there. Tiny men trudged on amidst
high trees in the fierce play of light
nings, and the giant trees swayed, in
toning angrily, and lightnings, flying
over the tree-tops, lit them for a mo-
ment with cold blue light, and vanish
ed as swiftly as they had come, terrify-
ing the people. The trees, lit with
the cold fires of the hghtnings, looked
alive. They stretched their long,
gnarled hands, reaching after the
people, who fled from the prisoning
darkness. They wove their arms into
a net, trying to catch the people. Chill
terror looked at them from the black
ness of the boughs.
49,. The road was difficult, and the
men felt a sinking Of the spirit. But
they were ashamed to- acknowledge
their weakness, and with vicious
wrath they turned against Danko, the
man who led them. And they began
to scorn him for his inability to govern
them. They halted and to the trium-

evening, and the river grew crimson
in the sunset, like that blood which
pulsed in hot stream from Danko's
torn chest.
Proud in. his passing, Danko glanced
before him at the broad spaces Of the
steppe. He cast joyous glance to-
ward the free lands that unfolded
before his eyes, and laughed trium-
phantly. Then he sank in death. The
amazed trees behind him whispered
softly, and the grass stained with his
blood murmured in answer.
Meanwhile the people, joyous and
full of hope, did not notice his death,
and did not see that Danko's brave
heart was still blazing beside his
corpse. One man only, cautious man
beheld it, and moved by a vague fear
he trod upon the proud heart. And as

His words only inflamed their anger.
"You shall die! You shall die!"
they shouted.
And the forest roared, answering
their cry. And the Hghtnings tore
the darkness into shreds. Danko
looked at those for whose sake he
had made his effort, and saw that
they were even as beasts. Many men
stood about, but there was no nobility
in their faces. He could not hope to
be spared by them. Then indignation

Book Reviews
AS SOME SEE THE NEGRO
BY GEO. MCLAUGHLIN

The May, June and July issues of
the Worlds Work" contain a remark
able series on the Negro. It is re-
markable since the author honestly
tells what he saw without Race
prejudice, without anti-labor bias. In
the Worlds Work" this-marvelous.
His mistakes-and they are. dazzling
are due to ignorance alone.
He tells (July) Of the reception
Claude Mckay received in Russia. He
tells too that Gene Debs kissed a
black girl at negro meeting. This
typifes the communist and socialist
position, he says. The Communists
want the Negro to join hands in the
huge task of fighting for freedom.
The socialist is willing to kiss. Judas
once gave a kiss. The author sees
what fertile revolutionary field the
Race is. He is wiser than many of
my comrades.
The June issue is exquisitely naive
on the labor movement. He says
there has been some ground" for the
charge that the unions exclude Ne
groes. The unions are different now.
His proof? Some twenty needle trade
unions inserted May day greetings in
the Messenger! (This was a dis
gushing misuse of union funds. The
magazine felt no call to give space to
May Day or the labor movement or
the poor Negroes, but devoted pages
and pages to two successful Negro
parasites-one an insurance man, one
real estate dealer. Why should
such a paper be supported by union
funds?)
He discusses .soberly the influence
of Gompers among the black masses.
He thinks it would be infinitely great
er were he black-ebony black if pos
siblel Imagine Sammy signing sadly
because he is not the hue to appeal
to-the Negro highbrows. That is the
heart of the matter. All this twaddle
represents the information given the
fauthor by the Negro leaders. The
ignorance of these gentry is incredible.
Negro wealth"
The author discusses the Black
Belt. 1t is acutely comic. In spite of
my literary fastidiousness. l quote:
costly rugs, "a library replete with
sumptuously bound volumes, "abun-
dant silver cleaning superbly". He
tells of costly cars, of Race pride, of
colored girls in riding breeches or in
fashionably expensive costumes. In
the name Of Denmark Vesey, is this
the Black Belt? l too have studied
the Belt. Not OF per cent live in lux
ury, not more than per cent live in
comfort. For the rest-it's hell. A
Negro who lives in a well built brick
house, with sewer, running water,
and electric light is lucky, remarkably
lucky. A hideous per centage have
outside privies and flies swarm from
there to their food. The barns of
America are better built than the
novels of the Negroes.

The Plight Of the Socialists

"Our gubernatorial situation is a mess and needs
clarifying is the confession in bankruptcy just
uttered by Victor Berger, the recent convert to
LaFoletteism, in commenting on the political sit
uation in Wisconsin.
The poor socialists! What they can hope for in
the local and state situations after they have
signed their own political death certificates on
national scale at Cleveland? What basis of pro-
test have they against LaFollette when they have
allowed him, against whom they have Numbered
for years, to swallow them whole?
The Honorable Berger, now member of LaFol-
lette's board of strategy to prevent the workers
and poor farmers from organizing along class
lines politically and from voting for the only work
ing class ticket in the field laments the contest
of figureslinging now raging between Hirst and
Blaine in the gubernatorial primary contest. The
Bergerites are up against it. Nationally, they are
kneeling at the feet of LaFollette. Locally, they
have their own organization to preserve. In the
state their socialist party past still weighs down
upon them, and they just can't see their way clear
to supporting the LaFollette lackey Blaine the
present governor.
Indeed, the situation is a mess. We welcome
the rare and refreshing honesty shown be Berger
on this occasion. But how does the lone congress
man propose TO get out OF the TfeacnerOuS IOraSS
into which he has driven his party?
On the one hand, Berger make an attempt, half
hearted it is true to arouse the ire of Blaine The
Wisconsin governor is denounced for not being
strong advocate of bodybuilding. At the height
of his anger Berger proclaims his new revolution
airy slogan his form of interest in the welfare
of the disposed masses by saying: "The farmers
and workers want the building program paid for
by the automobilsts rather than by tax on
property" Such proletarian doctrine should make
even Hillqut blush with shame. Are we to con-
clude that after its Cleveland baptismal into La
Foletteism the socialists are to become the cham
pions of no taxation on property-property held
by the owning class? Or are we to assume again
that Berger does not mean what he says?
On the other hand-and here lies the real social
list solution-Berger proposes that what was done
to the socialist party at Cleveland be performed
forthwith in Wisconsin. "Only the new Progress
sive realignment can accomplish this'-the clean
ing up of the mess, VOWS Berger. Apparently the
Cleveland experience has convinced the socialists
that suicide alone end the plight in which they
have found themselves since the masses deserted
their organization.

Golden Rule Capitalism

A distinguished financial writer took great pains
the other day to give his numerous readers the
impression that the turning over of companies to
workers is becoming increasingly popular.
1t would be foolhardy to blink the fact that re-
cent years have seen various instances of employ
ers handing over stock to their workers or call
ing upon certain sections of their laboring forces
to participate in the management and operation
of the factories.
Occasionally, an employer, as in the latest case
of Devoe & Reynolds turning over some control to
sixteen employees, will hand over his property to
the workers who have produced it. Now and then
a .copartnership scheme will be entered upon.
Here and there some form of golden rule bust
ness will be installed.
But has the working class any cause to rejoice
as a class because of these innovations? In the
main most stock selling, profit sharing and golden
rule schemes are only clever devices employed by
the bosses to obliterate the growing discomfort,
the rising class consciousness of the working
forces. At bottom, the net effect of workers own
ing few blocks Of stock here and there is only to
undermine their spirit of independence their in
itiative and self respect, their social freedom and
their readiness to revolt against ntoerable condi
tons of employment
Furthermore, the fact that several thousand
working men may in certain instances share in
the profits created by themselves and the rest of
the working class, does not help by an iota the
abolition of the capitalist system of exploitation,
and the movement for the establishment of gen
uine broad, all inclusive cooperative system of
production and exchange. Indeed quite the con
trary is the result.
The small insignificant gains that petty frac-
ton of the working class may win now and then
thru such golden rule schemes of capitalism are
bought only at the expense of perpetuating the
rule of gold the tyranny of the capitalist exploit
ers, for the working class as a whole

"Labor'S Political Demands"

Heading the list in "Labor's Political Demands
that were formulated by Samuel Gompers and pre-
scented to the republican and democratic conven-
lions, was the demand for repeal of antitrust
legislation
The keynote of LaFollettes program, adopted
by the Conference for Progressive Political Action
at Cleveland, a call for the most drastic en-
forcement of antitrust legislation
'Iabors political demands seem to be rather
mixed up by the various political doctors who are
dosing the labor movement. But do not think
that therefore harmony will not prevail. Accord
is possible. between these opposites.
Gompers is openly for the unrestricted rule
of big business, and for collaboration of the I'M
ions Herewith. The c. p p. A.ites and LaFol-
lette are bowling for the rule of the middle class
but in practice their proposals would work out
to the same result Gompers'.
So why quarrel about it? Especially should
Gompers be willing to adjust himself to Bill John
ston's variation of the old program. Gompers, the
original, is furnished and shop-worn and the
masses are in revolt; Johnston's, the new substi-
tute is the same old article with a dress that
will fool the workers for while longer. And then,
too, Gompers is an old man now, and God will soon
be calling him. Why shouldn't he get on the La
Toilette band wagon?
