CLEAN UP NOW

Yesterday resident of Oakland
looked out upon his back yard. In
one corner was a pile of ashes, trash,
garbage, and other unsightly mater
ial. He knew it was unsightly and
and thought that it was about time
for a cleanup. Probably the same
thought and experience have been in
the minds of other residents. Espec-
tally was it in the minds of the May
or and Town Council and members of
the Civic club.
Two days, June 20 and 81, have
been set aside by the council as days
to clean up and paint up. They are
facilitating matters by furnishing
free of charge a team that will be
sent to each home to gather up the
rubbish.
Everybody knows that he ought to
clean up. 1t is when to do it that
worries him. But now should be the
time because all the trash can be
easily hauled away with no expense
to the individual.
We are all striving to make Oak
land better place in which to live,
and better place in which to live is
one in which all can be healthy. Rub
Dish piles and trash do not promote
health so let's get rid of them when
we may.

KEEPING UP WITH MOTORS

1.-THE advancement of the mind has
not advanced coevally with the ad-
vancement of science and invention"
This was only one of the many strik-
ing statements made by Rev. Ralph
w. Sockman, of New York City, who
gave the Commencement address at
the graduation exercises of West Viz
ginia University, held Tuesday in
Morgantown, West Virginia.
In 1922, he said, the person giving
the commencement address at Har-
ward University stated that they were
all living in very fast and furious
age. But here we all are living in
1927 and think the same thing about
our time and consider 1922 as placid
and uneventful year. If the speaker
then thought that the age was fast
in 1922, he would perforce die of eX-
citement were he to live in these
modern times.
The fact is obvious that rapid
strides have been made in scientific
discoveries and inventions. 1t took
sailing vessel six weeks to make one
Journey across the ocean two hundred
years ago, but recently two planes
crossed the Atlantic in less than 80
hours. This remarkable advance in
aviation has been equalled in other
scientific advancement but in the
meantime, what has become of the
mind and the training for the mind,
and the advancement of man to keep
pace with this motorized world?
The speeding up of the material
things of the world has caused an I'M
rest in the placidity of the mental and
moral side of life, and many pessa-
mistic men fear for the future of the
country, of prohibition, and of the
younger generation. But it is nothing
more than the mental side of man
trying to catch up with the motor
world, the world of speed.
Reverand Sockman gave as his
solution for this that there be better
teachers, better preachers, a better
background and foundation upon
which to build the mental and moral
side of life.
A producer, to the business man, is
one who makes something material.
He would not consider that a teacher
&c r1rOJ,,co,. hut ho &c IIhotbn,. +bo
world in general thinks so is another
question. 1t is obvious that invent
ors make fortunes by combining
known substances in such way that
they will act in another. Possibilities
for radio were here when the earth
was formed but it remained for one
man to discover it and become veal
thy.
But the producer of minds, although
he is an inventor, rarely becomes in
dependently wealthy. Inventors like
these go unpaid yet they are just as
important as the scientific investiga-
tors.
When as much attention is given to
producers who teach the things in life
besides the material things, then per-
haps the mental and moral life will
catch up with the motor world. AS
it is now, the motorized world is going
to fast and people try in vain to catch
up. They can't because they do not
know how. They haven't been taught.

When the world end far as the great I'M
pest powers concerned the allied nations led by England
and France organized the league Of nations which was offered to
warweay world that another holocaust such as
was oosed upon the peoples countries in 1914 would
again be permitted.
But it was soon evident except those who have their
in the clouds league nations but an nstru
en in the hands of mperast powers enable them to
effectively exploit colonial and semcoonia peoples and
organize world imperialism against the Soviet Union

ary Communist Party of the Soviet Union by delegation
of so workers various countries and Stains answer is as
follows:
"The Soviet Union is not member of the League of
Nations participate in its work, because the
Soviet Union prepared to share the responsibility for
the mperast policy of the League Nations for the man
dates which are distributed by the League for the eoa

THE PASSING OF THE PETROGRAD AND
MOSCOW SOVIETS INTO THE HANDS
OF THE BOLSHEVIKS.

IN the 31st of August the Petrograd Soviet adopted
for the first time the Bolshevk resolution by a
majority of 279 against lis, 81 refraining from vo
ing. On the 4th of September joint meeting of the
Moscow Soviet carried the Bolshevik resolution for
the first time On September the ninth the Petrograd
Soviet reelected its presidium, and September
23rd Trotsky elected its President The adop-
ton of the Boshevik resolution by the Petrograd and
Moscow Soviets, the election of Nogin President
of the Petrograd Sovet--all these were events of
extremely great significance These events were all
the significant because they took place at the
end of August and in the early part of September.
Up to that time both the Petrograd and the Moscow
Soviets were in the hands of the compromising Men
sheviks and Social Revolutonaries, that is, during
the early part of the revolution an overwhelming
majority of the proletariat voted for the Menshevks
and Social Revolutionaries and thus gave them
troll Soviet organizations.
The passing Of the Petrograd and Moscow Soviets
into the hands of the Bolshevks signifies the end
Of great process From the very beginning of the
revolution of 1917 the Party pursued the task of
winning the majority of the proetarat over to it's
side. During the whole of 1917 notwithstanding the
efforts Of the Mensheviks and Social Revoutonaries
to prevent such action, the overwhelming majority
of the proetariat lined up with the Bolsheviks The
BoShcviks first over the lower organizations of
the proletariat such factory committees, trade
unions, district Soviets, etc. The higher organza-
tons which had been captured by the Menshevks
and Social Revolutionaries remained under their con-
Crol 1cr longer period or time since It was more
difficult to call elections in these bodies. The
passing of these organizations into the hands Of
the Bolsheviks signifed that all solid ground was
gone from under the feet of the Mensheviks and
Social Revolutionaries and that all the lower or
CARNATIONS, from top to bottom, had already lined
up with the Bolshevks This change meant that
the proletariat as whole setting GU. 60 realize
the fundamental task of the revolution, namely the
struggle for power, and that the Menshevks and the
Social Revolutionaries had failed to hold the pro-
ctariat en- the platform of the bourgeois revolution.
The passing of the Pctrograd Soviet into ths
hands OF the Bolsheviks meant that the enormous
mass of the prcletariat numbering hundreds of thou
sands, following the leadership of the Bolshe-
viks. The change which took place at the end of
August and at the beginning of September not only
signfied that the huge of the proletariat be-
came definitely lined up with the Bolsheviks and
that the Bolshcviks the leaders Of the prole-
tariat and expressors Of It's wishes and demands but

neither did he-I know it, because he
was indiscreet enough to write long
statement on the program, trying to
tell me. My counters statement will
be briefer, and nobody will have any
doubt what mean.
Pessimism is mental disease. 1t is
that wherever and under whatever
circumstances it appears, in art and
philosophy, as in everyday life. 1t
means illness in the person who
voices it, and in the society which
produces that person. If it continues
unchecked in an individual, it is a
symptom of his moral breakdown; if
it prevails in the literature, art,
drama, politics, or philosophy of a
nation, it means that nation is in
course of decay.
All 'truly great art is optimistic.

his public; the public is active and

sound, occupied in mastering life and
expanding the social forces. 1t is
only when those forces exhaust them
selves, that the art public enjoys con-
templating moral impotence, and that
the individual artist does not know
whether life is worth living.
The fact that practically all great
art is tragic does not in any way
change the above thesis. I have
named the three great classic dramas,
the "Prometheus Bound" of Aeschy-
lus, the "Prometheus Unbound" of
Shelley, and the Samson Agonistes"
of Milton. All three are tragic; but
in each case the hero struggles in the
cause of a new faith. And the same
thing applies to "The Emperor
JONES'" and "The Hairy Ape; their
individual protagonists go down to
defeat, but they struggle for light,
and this impulse is communicated to
us.

By Upton Sinclair

Capitalist art, when produced by
artists of sincerity and intelligence,
is pessimistic, because capitalism is
dying; it has no morals, and can have
none, being the negation of morality
in social affairs. Proletarian art is
optimistic, because it is only by hope
that the workers can act, or dream of
acting. Proletarian art has a NOR
atty of brotherhood and service, be-
cause it is only by these qualities
that the masses can achieve their
freedom.
And in order to avoid cheap sneers
and misunderstanding, let me add
that there is capitalist art of false
optimism. based upon the master
class desire to keep the workers in
ignorance as to their conditions and
prospects. To unmask this art is the
first task of the social rebel, and I
have tried to do my share of this
service.
