For the Workers!
Contemplate Democracy

In the sentencing of our editor, Robert Minor,
and several of our comrades to serve terms in
Jail for their part in the July 4th demonstration
against the imperialist war in Nicaragua, the
little kept courts of the American ruling class
have again justified their reason for existence.
The "justice" which has made a mockery of all
supposed guarantees in the mine districts and
has branded its brutality and class vengeance
alike on the breasts of nursing mothers and
on the bent backs of decrepit old men, the
Justice which keeps Mooney and Billings rot
ting in jail and burns Negroes at the stake be-
fore the very doors of democratic" conven-
tion-this justice has again been indicated.
When Comrade Minor, asked by the little
judge mumblng over his instructions from the
wigwam, if he had anything to say, declared
to the little Tammany henchman: "You are
not judge, you are prosecute! -everyone
including the nearby policemen thought he had
Isaid "You are prostitute~
4 No mistake of the ear ever revealed more
nxpressively what the instinct of the masses
has long grasped to be the fact. No marking
sof labels upon the poisonous brands of Justice
handed out by the Tammany administration of
graft and corruption and the republican rulers
Of the oil scandal and of the Ohio gang is ne
cessary to warn the masses of workers as to the
real nature OF tneSe forces.
These are the products of democracy" More
accurately they are the products of broad
and "open" democracy. The broader the dem
ocracy, the greater the corruption, Lenin
pointed out.
These efforts of democracy and it's kept
courts to shield itself against inevitable expos
iure by the representatives of the working class
are proving valuable lessons to the masses
Notwithstanding the coming election campaign
Turing which both old parties must again at
tempt to appear in the guise of liberality, the
Wall Street rulers are forced ruthlessly to sup
! scess the greatest menace to their power.
EThere will be very little in the future of
3ree speech to fight for, even as an issue by
those who are still deluded by the phrase. We
will have only democracy! The kind that is
handed out on independence Day.
When the New York World said recently that
in the nomination of such men as Herbert Hoo
yer and Al Smith, democracy has been justified,
the answer is: certainly your democracy has
there been indicated quite as it has been vim
dicated the sentencing of our comrades to jail.
For such democracy the working class has only
the strongest contempt.
The working class also seeks democracy"
And it is learning how to get it. Our comrades
in the Soviet Union have already learned this
most valuable lesson: the nature Of capitalist
democracy.
Here in the United States the Communists
during the coming election campaign will do
! their part to make the subject clear. And no
small share in this most important task will
be taken by our comrades now in Jail.

inevitable. A further intensified
ton of the struggle will take place.
Realizing these facts and the rela-
tive weakness of the revolutionary
miners organizations, this confer
ence considered it necessary to
strengthen organizational and agita-
tional activities, to reinforce trade
union influence in the large indus
trial .ccntea-s and to enhance the
struggle against the reformsts for
the leadership of the miners move
ment.
The following basic questions were
taken up: The question of or
ganizing mutual aid during strikes
and lockouts on a wider scale, ques-
tons of strike tactics, to increase
the struggle to legalize the actjvi-
ties of the oppositions, to struggle
against unemployment, to combat
the fascist, reformist and company
unions and especially the Miners
International" which is, in fact. a

In view Of the general situation

resolutions that a struggle be tahen

zOGU WILL Become
king Of ALBANIA
& Year Old Mountain Chieftain
Is Ready

London. Aug. % Detained
Zogu. 33 year old former mountain
chieftain. and more recently presi-
dent OF the republic, will become
king OF Albania Saturday when the
constituent assembly announces re-
storation OF the monarchy. Albania
has been a republic since 1917.
Zogu will be known officially as
Scanderbeg ii. preserving the en-
deared name OF the ruling house
founded by the prince general who
led the countrys successful revolu-
ton against Turkish rule in 1443
and ascendsd the throne as Sean
derbeg !.
Announcement that Zogu will be
proclaimed king Saturday has been
made at Tirana, the Albanian capi-
tai. Public demonstrations were
staged in various parts of the re-
public to show that the people are
in sympathy with the movement.
That this consent is not unani-
NOUS. however, is indicated in d
dispatch from Belgrade, capital of
Jugoslavia, which asserts it is pos
sible that tribesmen of eastern and
northeastern Albania may attempt
10 interrupt the enforcement cere-
monies. These tribesmen are de-
clared 10 be bitter enemies of Zogu
and to be in sympathy with various
former deputies and ministers now
imprisoned.
The opinion is expressed frankly
in official circles at Belgrade that
Italy is creating the new Albanian
kingdom to constitute a perpetual
menace to Jugoslavia. which Alban-
la TANKS on the south. The Jugo-
slav government. it is declared I'M
officially, will not object il Zogu is
crowned liking OF Albania" but in
case he assumes the title king of
the Albanians' it most assuredly
will voice protest.
Upwards OF 500 Albanians re-
siding in Jugoslatia now are con-
sidcred objects of King Alexander
and any effort to bring them even
nominally under the rude of King
Scanderbeg would be considered
cause for objection.
Both Italy and Jugoslayia look
upon Albania IN it's present state as
u menace to their frontiers, thus in
the eyes of the Belgrade govern
ment Rome, by creating the Alban-
ian crown and extending its influ-
ence over hte country. relieves It,
self Of this menace at the same time
leaving it a continual source OF
worry to Jugoslavia
Invaluable services to the coun-
try constitute the announced reason
for Zogu's selection as king. He has
been prominent in the nations af-
fairs for years and assumed the
presidency January 81. 1925, also
being appointed prime minister and
com mander in chief Of the repuD-
lies armed forces, consisting OF
about 10000 men.

DAIRY CONTEST
SHOULD BE GOOD
County Agent Expects Keen Com
petition to Develop among the
Cow Owners for Prize

The special butterfat contest to
be conducted at the Kennewick Fair
this year should draw number of
cows and farmers should look over
the premium list carefully and be-
come thoroly acquainted with all
of the provisions of the contest as
they will find that there is good
chance for any good cow that is
anywhere near the freshening pc
Rod, to win substantial cash
prize. This is an added feature
this year and one which it is
hoped we may continue. The To-
cal cream stations have been lib
'eral in putting up good cash prizes.
Wherever we have conducted this
contest in the past we have always
found considerable rivalry between
the various breeds and we can see
no reason why we should not have
the same good spirit of competi-
ton entering the contest here.
Remember that q COW does not
need to be pure bred cow to
enter. Some of our pure bred
breeders may have to hustle with
other COWS in order to win a
place, and also some of our pure
bred breeders should give average
grade cows Or even good grade
