Ruthenberg---the Leader

sire to draw the American working
class into the struggle against CAPT
talsm. This was the aim Of his life.
He was deeply wounded by the indif-
ference Of the overwhelming mass
of the workers TO their class inter
ests and he was always searching
for the way to arouse them to the
struggle for their class interests.
Ruthenberg, the intrepid fighter
How many in the labor movement
can boast of such record? I'm
prisoned twice and third imprison-
ment awaited him, but death came
along and snatched him out of the
hands of capitalist justice. Death is
more formidable even than the
United States Supreme Court itself.
Ruthenberg was never a parlor-
revolutionist. He was not d book
socialist, in spite of the fact that he
came to socialism by way of books
and theories. His immense energies
have not allowed him to be lost with
in the realm of abstract theories and
speculations. At the very start he
became leader of the Left Wing OF
the socialist party. He gave himself
entirely to the revolutionary move
ment without conditions or reserva-
tions.
Hillquit and Berger were also OPP
posed to war, but what great diff
ference between their opposition and
his. At the St. Louis convention Ru-
thenberg was the leader of the Left
Wing, who fought for the famous
anti-war resolution. Right after the
convention he carried that resolution
to the working masses. Ee led the
great anti-war labor demonstration
in Cleveland, the only one of it's kind
in America And when capitalist
justice made him pay the price he
accepted it with the JOY of one who
has done his duty and was ready to
give everything he had for the revo-
lutionary cause.
At the famous Bridgeman conven-
ton, when it became known that the
convention place would be raided by
department of justice agents and
that it was necessary to escape, it
was agreed that Comrade Ruthen-
berg should be among the first to
leave. But he would not go. AS
secretary of the party, he claimed,
he could not leave the convention be-
fore everything is arranged and put
in order. He stayed to the last min
ute and was overtaken by the gov
eminent spies. Such was Ruthen-
berg-the first to face hard work
and danger, the last to escape from
it.
Ruthenberg was more than the Sec
rotary of the party. A builder by
nature, he kept on building the struc-
ture of the Communist movement in
this country step by step and layer
upon layer, diligently, unswervingly
A robust builder, with a rich exper-
fence and good understanding of the
correct feminist line-he was the
leader of the Workers (Communist)
Party and the beloved comrade trust
ed by all.
He was but "A years of age. He
was in the best of his years, full of
energy and vitality, when cruel death
snatched him away from our midst.
His last words were the proper
climax of his eventful revolutionary
life.
Charles E. Ruthenberg is dead, but
his party is alive. Let us strengthen
and build our party, and his.

To Ruthenberg mass-activity and
mass-struggle were life itself. His
road was the highway leading to-
wards the American working masses.
And this was extraordinary in man
who came to the socialist movement
from big executive position in Il
offices of great clothing factory,
the kind of a position that makes a
person rather pedantic and detached
from the channels of life of the
masses. He gave up a great career
under capitalism, abandoned his
early interests in accounts and fig
ures and attached himself to the life
and the struggles Of the masses. His
mind and his heart were awake to
their needs and strivings. All his
strategic maneuvers for a labor par

BY the Associated Press.
RAPID CITY, s. Oak. July p
Representative Undertake, Republi-
can, Colorado. has drawn from his
visit at the Summer White House the
idea that President Coolidge will be a
candidate in 1928.
"Of course, he didn't tell me he was
going to be a candidate" the Colo

the talking, but the whole atmos-
phere indicated that he will be"
Timberlake gave out several inter
views before he came from Washing

ination and reelection in spite of his
veto of the McNary-Haugen farm
relief bill and he showed clippings of
these to the President after state
game lodge dinner last night.
He wasn't angry" Undertake re-
ported. "On the contrary, he seemed
pleased and thanked me for them"
The dinner guest declared that the
President was las dead set against
the McNary- Haugen bill as ever" and
particularly so because of bumper
crops prospect for this year.
He believes it to be a perfect IL
lustration of what would have hap
pened under the equalization had the
bill been signed" Undertake explain
ed The talk Of the West being in
censed over the veto is hot air. Much
or the West honestly disagrees with
Mr. Coolidge, but they concede his
right to exercise his prerogative."

Speaking of conditions in Europe
Sir Alan said that Europe still has
some five million unemployed and
twenty millions dependent upon them,
making 25,000,000 of people who are
in a destitute condition.

|bANEz CONTINUES
TO DEPORT FOES
Surface Situation Tranquil,
But Dictatorship Faces
Critical Condition.

BY the Associated Press
MENDOZA, Argentina, July q
Wholesale deportations of Chilean po-
litical leaders, known for their antag-
onism toward the military distator-
ship established by President Carlos
Ibanez, continue, according to word
brought here today by travellers from
Chile.
Some deportations, however, were re-
voked by the government on pressure
from members of the Senate and the
Chamber of Deputies, who protested
against the turn events had taken and
criticized the restriction of freedom
imposed by the government.
Air Filled With RumOrs.
While the general situation in
Chile appears, on the surface at least,
tranquil, there is no question of the
acuteness of conditions. The air is
filled with all sorts of rumors which,
because Of the prevailing restrictions,
cannot be confirmed. Among these
reports was one of an attempt against
the life of President 1baneZ.
The streets of Santiago, the capital,
and vicinity are patrOlled by armed
carabineers: yet there is no explana-
ton forthcoming as to the reason for
this precautionary measure.
Have Left Country.
Among those who have left the
country are Enrique Matte.Figueroa,
nephew of former President Figueroa
who resigned to make place for
Ibanez, and Eliodoro YaneZ, who
sponsored the coming international
press conference to be held in Geneva.
Senators Trucco and Mazda and
Deputies Fernando Varas and Pedro
Vicuna have. been authorized to re-
main in Chile after the government
revoked orders for their deportation.
A rigorous censorship is in force.

Skirted by River.
Belle Fourche is skirted on the
north by the Belle Fourche River
and on the southeast by the Red
River. the latter a most beautiful
mountain stream, heavily wooded-in,
with luxuriant fields along its banks.
Just east of the town is the big Diver
sion Dam, the greatest earth dam in
the world, and to the south rise the
highest peaks of the Black Hills.
The section about Belle Fourche Is
noted for it's cattle-raising. and for
miles around the surrounding terri
tory is used as big cattle range.
The town has the distinction of being
the largest initial shipping point for
range livestock in the United States.
The early history of Belle Fourche
and the surrounding range country
is the story of the cattle industry in
the West. 1t was in 1876 that the first
herd was turned loose on the range
to take the place of buffalo, and white
men roamed where for centuries the
Indians had hunted and fought.
