CONTRIBUTIONS FROM A RANK
AND Filler FOR MAJORITY THESIS
BY ETHEL sHoR

XAIHAT did Lenin say about slog-
wv ans? He said that slogans are TO
be used only to mobilize large masses
of workers, or call them to action
not simply slogan for slogans sake.
The minority fail to prove that there
is demand for labor party apart
and distinct from the LaFollette move
ment, and when they cannot prove
that, on what argument do they fall
back-they say 'if there is no SEN
timent for farmer-labor party we
must create one; we must build a
farmer-labor party''-and they quote
the C. rs instructions to the British
Communist Party that they should
join the British labor party. 8e
, We advocated labor party for the
past two and one half years not be-
cause we thought the labor party to
be necessary, preliminary step for
the workers, but because such senti-
ment existed, and it was our duty to
participate in that movement of the
workers. This is the reason the c. 1.
instructed the British Communists to
seek admission in the British labor
party. The comrades have yet to
prove that the labor party is an in
eyitable step the workers will have to
go through.
The comrades of the minority say
"the labor party will disillusion the
workers the sooner" Yes, but must
we build such an instrument? Accord
ing to this, we should propagate and
fight for WAR for surely war disullus-
ions the workers more than any num-
Der of labor parties.
The minority says mo. we will not
build farmer-labor party now, but
simply advocate it, talk about it, pleas
antly and nicely" but what do their

dead issues such as the one, For a
labor party" We can not afford to
waste our energy and hard earned
money for the organization of bogus
farmer-labor parties just in order to
give activity and excitement to some
of our good comrades of the minority
who have otherwise nothing to do
with their time. Instead of this let
us make a real effort to build our
Workers (Communist) Party. Let us
raise the real live slogans that will
put our party in the forefront as the
leader Of, and fighter for, the inter
ests Of the working masses. Let us
build the united front of the rank and
file on the slogans Of unemployment,
child labor, organization of the unor-
ganized, recognition of Soviet Russia,
opposition to class collaboration on
the part of the trade union bureau
cracy, ETC., etc.
Great numbers Of American work
ers are ready to listen to us and as we
develop these campaigns, still greater
masses will rally around our slogans
and by carrying on a militant fight
for them we will gain the leadership
of these masses and finally achieve
the goal of making the Workers (Com-
munist) Party the mass Communist
Party. Of the American working class
and thus lead them into the revol-
utionary class struggle for the final
battle to capture all power for the
workers.

voked by his convivial habits and

Sikh has the physical attributes
Of a great fighter and the mind of

since his American debut nearly
two years ago he has deterioraked
from a first-cIass attraction to q
clown fighter at small clubs.
His escapades keep him in the
spotlight more than his ring
achievements.
The black man from Senegal was
q good enough fighter with d
bayonet to serve valorously with
the French colonials in the world
war, but as an individualfst In the
ring he. has failed to gain q victory
over himself.
Because of his erractic behaviour
in and out Of the ring, Sikh has
become detriment to boxing. The
lay mind unconsciously judges an
unusual profession by the tieport-
ment of its headliners. One bad
actor creates deeper impression
than a dozen good ones.

are a credit to the profession.

But instead of being satisfied with

passed through his body In such way
that it fractured rib, injured the
spinal cord, severed the nerve leading
to the left arm and finally lodged in

We've been kept busy bringing
them good things to eat too
"But they have grown very quickly"
said Mother Downy. "Truly they Will

Mr.. Downy, in wise and manly
fashion.

bottom of the tree we had as our last

"Good," said Mr.. Downy, "they will
be safe there, the little dears. It's
hard for them, with their weak bills,
to build a nest where they can hatch
out their little ones and be safely hid

THAT is one of the nice things about
having many homes-we can let others
have them when we leave"
Mr.. Downy and Mother Downy were
two of the dearest woodpeckers you
could hope to see. They were not very
large and they did more good than
any other woodpeckers and they never
did any harm. Sometimes unkind
things had been said about them gath
ering sap from trees, but it was moth
ing but idle gossip.
Mr. DOwny wore a handsome black
and-white suit, beautifully decorated
with white spots, and as a decoration
for his head he had touch Of red on
the back of his cap. Mrs. Downy didn't
wear the red, as she was not fond of
bright colors on herself.
Leave that to the male BIRDS" she
said.
They had cousin, Mr. Hairy Wood
pecker, who was larger and who loved
the quiet woods and was not so So
ciable as they were.
"PeOple have said they thought 1t

"But we are satisfied with what we

"That is true" answered Mother

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance
Often Rejected

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful In overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

sample bottle. When writing be sure

ECZEMA IN INFANTS

THIS disease has different degrees
= of severity and may even be asso-
ciated with conditions which end
fatally, but that is not the usual re-
suit
Any kind of a baby, fat or lean,
plump or enaciated, may have 1t,
but it seems to have preference to
those who have catarrhal troubles,
who are scrofulous, as it used to be
called, or who have ricketts,, indiges-
ton, anemia or fever of various kinds.
The disease may occur at any period
of infancy, before or after weaving,
and the pain and soreness of teething
doubtless aggravates 1t in many cases.
There is probably a germ which
causes it. at least in some cases, and
il may be associated with the itch
and with vermin of different species
1t also has relation to filthiness and
