THOROUGH ORGANIZATION W O R K . The work that is being done among

the F inn i sh workers of Montana is basic • rganizut ion in the socialist movement W i t h the enormous quant i ty of foreign workers in this country a r evo lu t ina r j movement among the proletariat can-aot lie comprehensive unlc*6 i t com-•rise* intel l igent co-operation wi th what ia called the foreign element. A largr part of t lo -e workers f ro l i across the •ens are already thoroughly imbued with soci. i l i- t sentiment many of them act ive iiiemliers of their own na­tional organizations I he \ are none than w i l l i n g to heroine associated wi th the Anierirat i ri'ovement i f the com-ndes here show any signs of l i f e and Interest. The foreign socialists a l l com­plain of the \ tner ictn movement U ' i n g • teeedingh superficial Hie workers get •tore pay here than they do in foreign lands, and yet they think they can't support a proper1 press; they don't bui ld hal ls ; they have no system of educa­tional work, no means of even knowing who the socialists in a communi ty are. A peculiar i ty about the American movement is that in many communit ies those \> lio ( i l l themselves socialists are • f t en ; in iMAaltat, helpless set of crea­tures. wHh no abi l i ty whatever to keep »p ex en the appearance of an organ i ra l ion . It i< fo l ly to t a lk of the prole­tariat assuming the direction of society with such helpless hangers on pretend trig to make up the siihslanoe of t h " H H M l t In f 'olorado there are .1.000 Italians, w i n king in the southern coal •el.Is for the Kockefeller interests, that are aggressive socialists in their own fount ry . 'Hie r<dorado Fuel and Iron emi ip inv . in its at tempt to prac t ica l ly annihilate the suffrage in that state, through the half breed Mexican sena tor. DM I ' :u c ' I i . who henled the south­ern Colorado vote for years in the inter fsts of th" f 'olorado capital is ts , suc-leeded in passing a measure known as the l l a ' i l l i n i i ieni l i rci i t , prolonging the time f rom six mouths to a year's resi •emc in the state t, at would Is- neces-jary l.efoie a person i-ould become a qualified voter. Tlie Colorado Fue l and Iron company employs AO.000 men. I f the menace of their bal lot became a la rming they could be summar i ly dis misaed. would lose their residence, and «onse( |uent lv their vote. The agent* of this octopus are in I ta ly constantly en t ic ing new victims to the alave pens *f the southern Colorado enal fields. The lame disfranchisement game ia played with them, nnd the capitalist* th ink l l icy ha \ c the voice of laltur strangled But there is moving within this appar tn t ly inert mass that ceaseleaa unrest m i l determination of the proletar iat lhat makes for organic adjustment. The major i ty of these newcomer* are red l a g socialists. Their effective organ ira l inn would block the capitaliat game in •out h< in f 'olorado. Yet , with the ex teptuin of the work of Charles De M o l l i i n able I ta l ian organizer and speaker of lhat dis t r ic t , the terr i tory ia pract ical ly t ntouched.

Moutnna is showing excellent results m the socialist organired •avwment tmong the Finns , her chief fwreign nop e la t ion . The socialist movement must f deep and broad before tke earth tremble of a revolution t h a i w l l do justice to our outraged and disinherited

surmise and wonderment. It has W e n heralded to the world at

large that i t was heeiuse these unions were socialist that they aroused auch deadly venom f rom the e m p l o y i n g class. Hut th is assertion has received a num­ber of cold water dashes i n the defeat of the socialist candidate* by these or­ganisat ions, apparent tradintr w i t h capi­t a l i s t candidate* (only to be betrayed By them) , and a marked Indifference to social is t organizat ion A t the present t ime there is a new sensation re la t ive to the social is t a t t i tude o f the Wes te rn Federa t ion of Mine r s one tha t appears to menace the in tegr i ty o f the social is t • rgan i r a t i ons themselves. D r T i t u s has issued the s t a r t l i n g statement that ev-erv effort is being made to throw the government of Idaho into the hands of the democrats ; that even the socialists there are adv i s ing the work ingmen not to vote the socia l is t t icket , that the de­fense f u n d contr ibuted by the w o r k i n g class of the wor ld is being used for this purpose, and that the hostages held in pr ison are consenting to the deal. Such an accusation comes wi th the force of a thunder clap to those who felt that the men in j a i l were m a r t y r s to social ism. It is a ter r ib le ca l ami ty that men should lose thei r lives liecause of the principles thev hold, but it is worse that the m i l i t a n t organizat ion of the work ing class, the on ly means of succor f r o m their foes should lie menaced The»e s ta r t l ing disclosures, if t rue , w i l l prob ,il lv -er ioi is lv affect llaywi>od's candi­dacy in Colorado

Such a denouement is this can. of •onrse. he noth ing but ext remelv satis­factory to the capital ist class Any­th ing to break the ranks of socialism is their sa lvat ion.

Hcforc passing judgment upon this aspect of af fa i rs there is a feature of the case that should lie wel l liorne in mind. W i t h the instinct of clsss or «elf preservation the capi ta l i s t* tremble be­fore socialism as a menace to their very existence. They do not d iscr iminate in regard to the brand, whether i t is the real t h ing or not ; they rush at the name as their v i t a l class enemy W h a t do they see loomitiL' upon the h o r i z o n ' The fear of losing thei r hereditary slaves. Social ism means the revolt of the slaves. It must lie crushed, side-t racked, annihi lated in i n y fo rm, and at any cost. Because once that tern* becomes f a m i l i a r on the tongue of the work ingman the magic of i ts contagion runs l ike l igh tn ing through the mass |n lie nevermore Wwllnlw] And th* vu l ­nerable point in the work ing class de fensc is. without any doubt, the law-

(With apologies to Kipling.)

A tool there waa and he went bis way (Even aa you and 11)

(A subsistence wage ie what we would »ay)

But the fool be called it a fair day'erpay I Even aa you and 11)

Oh the yeara we waate and M M teara we waate

And the work of our bead and bund lioloug to the drones who did not know (And we know that they never would

know) And would not understand.

A fool there wan und hi* life he apent (Even a* you and I!)

Toiling and moiling with good intent (And the drones they raked in every

cent) But a fool must follow his natural bent

(Even as you and II)

Oh the toil we lost and the joy we lost And the spendid things we planned Belong to the robbers who take them

away (Millione we make for the drones every

day) And they will not understand.

The fools were stripped to their foolish hide

(Even aa you and II) Which the drone might have been when

he threw them aside (But many new workers were waiting

outside) So aome of them lived but moat of them

died— (Even aa you and I!)

And i t isn't the toil and i t isn't the moil

That stings like a white-hot brand It is coming to see how we could be free, If we ourselves would understand,

The drones will understand. —Common Sense.

And now, right here 1 wish to ask by what right a national or a atate aecretary refuses names ot locals with names of secretaries to a comrade who baa been a member in good atand-ing for yeara, and who ia giving hia time, hia meana, and hia vary life, aa it were, to the cauae of socialism!

The ad has been inserted free of cost, and names and lists sent to the com rade that may help him to extend his paper.

A. M. Simons has lieen made editor of the Chicago Socialiat. We may now expect to aee that paper properly repre­sent the magnilicent developing prole­tarian movement which the American party haa a right to expect from Chi­cago. It ia needless to say that Com­rade Simona has one of the cleareat constructive minda in American social­ism. His value to the movement as an independent investigator is inestimable.

The prospecta are very bright for the Wiaconsin socialists thia fa l l . They are reasonably certain of returning all the men they had in the state legislature last year, and have also good chance to carry several other districts in various counties. They have at least seventeen speakers in the field. During four days two weeks ago 76,000 pieces of litera­ture were distributed throughout the atate.

President George B. Hugo, of the American Bottlers' Protective Associa­tion, in opening the convention at At­lanta, C4a., Oct.

The fscts are that the state and national offices, each lacking infor­mation in the possession of the others, arranged for its expenditure in the Ool-orade campaign. The matter was re­ferred to the national executive com­mittee for a decision, all correspond­ence relating thereto being transmitted under date of Oct. 16.

The decision is being car­ried into effect this day.

Trade Unions and Socialism in Belgium.

Belgium has always been an object lesson in socialist unity. The co-opera­tive movement is there a part of the general socinlist movement, and the trades unionists, though weak, have mainly Iteen filled with the socialist spirit. One or two Christian demo­cratic unions, and powerful "neutral" unions, like that of the diamond work­ers, have, however, held aloof, and now a desperate effort is being made to bring the "neutrai' unions into line. One cause -vhieh will tend to hasten this result is the terrible lockout at Ver-viers. where the masters st i l l show that so far as they are concerned, they want to stamp the unions under foot.

A Socialist Daily Dead. In France the unions are becoming

more and more definitely socialist, but our comrades in that country have re­ceived a temporary set back by the stop­page of "L'Humanitie." Very dignified and very touching are the words in which Jean Jaures announces that they are compelled to wind up their affairs. "It is a great grief to me." says he, "to see my weapon of attack shiver in my hands." He tells us that he had an of­fer of the necessary money to carry It on i f he would refrain from denounc­ing the Russian loan, or if he would make a bitter attack on the Radical government. But socialism is always straight. Tory gold cannot buy a so­cinlist paper. So L'TTumanite" dies, but "l.'Humanite" dies with honor: and its old proprietor lives to fight another day.

France and the Germans.

Luck of funds was the cause of the death of the French daily paper, and the event makes us think of the Ger­man socialists with their large number of daily, weekly and monthly papers scattered with unfailing regularity throughout the length and breadth of the land. France is not yet ripe for such large literary achievements, and yet there is a generosity and spirit of self-sacrifice in the spirit of French social­ism which we cannot detect to the same extent in that of Germany. Bebel re­fuses to contemplate the possibility of a genersl strike against war; whereas Vaillant, In the name of French social ists. asked the International movement to pronounce in favor of such an idea. A few days ago. in Rouen, posters were put up askintr the soldiers to desert and enroll themselves in the cause of pence: whereas, when the young Liebknechi asked the conference at Mannheim to as­sent to such an idea, he was met with a vigorous refusal.

Movement in the North. Both in Norway and Sweden the so­

cialists are violently excited. In Nor way our comrades suspect the police of acting in the interest of the Ru—im government, and in Sweden a great demonstration has been held to protest against the arbitrary imprisonment of Comrade Sandstrom. the editor of one of the socialist papers.

M. Aladyn on the Russian Revolution.

M . Aladyn. leader of the socialist party in the Russian duma, apeaking at the Will iam Morris celebration at the Kelmseott club, Hammersmith, on Sun day evening last. said, in the course of a it i iking speech, he knew the suscepti­bilities of the English people; he knew their objections to violent methods of reform; but could every man and wom­an present be taken to Russia and placed under the conditions that op pressed the Russian people, there waa not one but would use any and every means in the fight for liberty. Effect­iveness only would be considered. The Russian people were engaged in a strug­gle of life and death. When a relentless hand waa at the throat strangling you. it is superfluous to ask you to consider the means which you would use to free yourself.

He could say that the fight for free­dom in Russia was practically won. The only stumbling block in the path of the revolution had been the peasantry V o w that they were conscious ns con sciotis as he was -that between them and liberty stood the czar's government, the result was certain. Within «ve years the Russian people would be a free people Labor Leader.

Shoemaker for Mayoi? Horrible. A solid socialists vote has brought a

shoemaker named Frnnke to the seas* tion of burgomaster of Pforten. in Cen­tral Germany. The authorities are being asked by the minority not to conUrm the election, for the reason that Franke is only a shoemaker, and therefore not qualified to deal with weighty ques­tions that may arise, and that, being a socialist, he is against the existing sys­tem of Society.-Evening Post.

The socinlist sentiment Is growing rapidly in the trndes unions and the so­cialists have no fear that the Liberals will succeed In winning back the once awakened English worklngmen.

By Karl Kautaky, in "The Socialist Re­public"

I lie family cannot be created or abolished by decree. Present form of the family not re­pulsive to socialism.

One of the most widespread preju-dici entertained against socialism is that it proposes to abolish the family.

No socialist entertains the remotest id' i of uliohsliing" the family, whether by law or otherwise. Only the groasest miM * presentation can fasten upon them such a purpose; moreover, it takes a fool to im.igine that any form of family can either be created or abolished by decree.

] In modern form of the family is no-•rise lepulaive to the socialist system of product ion: the institution of the so-cinli-t order does not consequently, need the abolition of the family for its intro-duc t ion.

Meet of the capitalist system of production on the family.

That which dissolves any existing |BJ in of family is the economic develop­ment itself. Under the present or cap Kalis* system of production the lamily is torn asunder; husband, wile, and children are forced lroiu one another in the search for bread. {See lootuote 1.) Oui irrational system of production rui^es she-towns ui one section of the country, as in New England, and he villages in other sections, as in Pennsyl­vania und the mining regions ol the far west; it nurses prostitution and adul-Istj | and it dismantles the very citadel of the modern conception of the lamily, (Tees the highest to the lowest rungs of seesstj. (Footnote 1.)

Condition of woman under cap­italism compared with her con­dition under socialism.

Ihe socialist system is not calculated to check the economic development; it will, on the contrary, give it new im­pulse. Thia development will continue, a» before, to withdraw from the circle of household duties and turn into spe­cial industries one household occupation after another. That this cannot fa i l to have in the future, as in the past, its etfect upon the ephere of woman is self ewlsnt; woman may cease to be a work • ui the individual household and may take her place as a worker in the large I Iucti\e industries. Rut this transi­tion will ii"t then be to her what it is toda\ : .i transition from household drudgery into wage slavery, with the «age -l.n eiy -tipeiaddcd to the house­hold drudgerx ; it would not, as it does today, hurl her from the protection of her home into the exposed and helpless condition of the proletariat. By working in common with man in the large pro­ductive industries of society, she be­comes his equal, and will be able to re­ceive her equal share with him of the social product: she will then be his free c i i i p in i . i n . emancipated not only from slavery to man. but also from slavery to capital. Free mistress of herself, the equal of man, she will put a speedy end to all manner of prostitution, legalized as well as unlegalized, and then for the first time in the world's history wil l she be able to establish, as an actual, not a fictitious fact, the oneness of husbsnd and wife. (See footnote 2.)

These are no Utopian vagaries, but scientific conclusions from established facts. Whoever would deny the former, must first overthrow the latter. Seeinv that the "ladies" and "gentlemen" who shut their eyes to this development have never been able to shake the scientific facts upon which these conclusions are planted, there is nothing left to them but to affect to be shocked, and to en­deavor to place their "morality" in as favorable a light as possible by means of falsehoods and misrepresentations. But these methods will not stead them. They will not be able to delay the so­cial evolution by one minute.

This much stands fast: whatever al­teration the family form handed dowu to us may undergo, it will not be the act of socialism or of the socialist sys­tem of production, but of the economic development that has been going on un­der our own eyes for the last century. Socialist society cannot hold this de­velopment back; what it will do is to remove from the economic development all the painful and degrading features that are Its inevitable accompaniments under the capitalist system of produc­tion. While, on the one hand, under the capitalist system of production the eco­nomic development Is steadilv snapping, one after another, the family bonds, and destroying connubial life, to the degra dation of al l concerned, under the social­ist system of production, on the other hand, whatever existing family form may drop off it can only be replaced by I higher.

In other branches—such, for instance, as shoemaking. metal working, etc.—now placed by machinery within the reach of her physical powers but previously re-erved to man by nature of the exer­

From the h o m e , where the portion of her time n o t absolutely required for such so-called unproductive but necessary serv­ices as come under the head of "house­keeping," was employed in producing a M i i i e t y of articles exclusively intended for her own family use, to the factory, where the whole of her time, now be­longing to the purchaser of her labor power, must be applied to the produc­tion of some articles of commerce. By I M I conversion into a wage-worker her social function as a woman— 1. e., a* a wife, as a mother, in short as a family-being of fundamental import to the so­cial structure was entirely destroyed :it least f o i t h e period during which she must se l l her life day by day.—From t h e Chapter on "Female and Child \M bor"' in the "Socialist Almanac."

Comrade Peters wri tes in regard to the Carbon county i t i n e r a r y :

"Please send the bundle of News thin week to catch Burke at Dean, Mont . H e won't be in town and he w i l l get them there on Monday . About that special edition I guess we w i l l get i t out next I-eek. L a y is out of town and I am kind of in the dark on the subject. Y o u probably know more about i t .

If you have spent $10 in books, r a i l w a y fare. etc.. to do i t , that is another fpiestion. The nat ional or somebody should pay that. The News write-up of that was to the queen's taste.

Comrade Goodson. who ought to be sheriff of R a v a l l i county , sends i n t h i s :

"I w e by the N e w s tha t Comrsde H u d son made the assert ion tha t the first t h i n g he would do when he got to W a s h ­ington would be to t r y to have the Dick m i l i t i a b i l l repealed.

Comrade Peugh wri tes f r o m L i v i n g under date o f Oct. 22:

"Comrade Hudson was here tonight and at tended the plute r a l l y at the opera house.

Through the misp lac ing of a letter we have never acknowledged the receipt, i n Augus t , of $25.50 f r o m Great F a l l s ; $6 was for due stamps, $2.50 fo r job work , $7 f o r sa l a ry f u n d , $8 for convention f u n d . $2 f o r bundles of M o n t a n a N e w s .

I t also added to the d i f f i cu l ty tha t Sec­re tary G r a h am had to w a i t two months on the na t iona l office fo r a large p a r t y receipt book to be made, consequently considerable confus ion crept in . T h e books are here now. though, and the work is a l l being brought up.

Most of the revenue of the paper the last two weeks has come f r o m job work , and a lmost none f r o m subscriptions and donations. T h i s is not sufficient to meet the expenses of hand l ing our p lan t , and unless the locals get busy and do something themselves we shall have to draw on the reserve f u n d . W e don' t want to do that , as we are fixing the -Imp up in good shape to make money in the fu tu re .

George Wesleder never lets up i n his efforts t o see the banner of the work­ing class carr ied to v ic to ry . He is con­duct ing his campaign as though he thought i t made some difference to the work ing class whether a socialist or a capi ta l i s t is elected to the sheriff ' s of­fice. H e says : " I hope I w i l l get m y News s n d pamphlets a l l r igh t this week, as I want to go to Cascade next Sunday. I want to spread them out over the county.

For goodness sake, i f you ' re a social ist join the social is t pa r ty . If you vote the social is t t i cke t s tand up and take your part , and jo in the par ty and help us along. Y o u need the par ty and the party needs you . If there's a local in your town go and join i t . I f there isn't one scrape four more together l i k e unto yourself and organize one. If there isn't a single other man in your town who knows a n y t h i n g but yourself make appl ica t ion to the state secretary and become a memlier at large, and bear your part of the burden. Don' t be a f r a i d to dig up a dol la r or two now and then. It won't hurt y o u any more than i t w i l l the rest of us. Y o u ' v e no more r ight to shi rk this burden than any other work-ingmnn Stand up to l ine w i t h us and begin to work f o r something that w i l l make l i fe worth l i v i n g . Y o u l l never re­gret i t . » o u r l i f e don't amount to much as i t is . Do something tha t w i l l make it wor th while .

M a b i s is a l w a y s c a r r y i n g the N e w s on his heart. Here is h is l a tes t :

"Received yesterday a bundle of H u d -sons h i l l s , but no word f r o m you , so I don't know whethtf- y o u intend to put h im up here or not.

"Is the financial part of the News i n good shape u n t i l election t ime? I have not done a n y t h i n g to help i t l a t e ly , bu t maybe you w i l l need help more a f t e r elect ion, for there w i l l undoubtedly be a react ion and I w i l l have more t ime then. Besides, just now I mus t t r y to save m y spuds. Yes te rday i t was s to rming so 1 could not d ig , and th i s morn ing i t i s f rozen up. hut I guess not deep enough to hur t many of them.

" B u r l a p sacks now are 10c apiece. T h e y are just about the r igh t weight and t ransparency to make good mosqui to ne t t ing . B u t then we f s rmers are i n ­dependent. W e don' t have to have their o l d sacks. I guess we can let our po­tatoes rot in the ground or in the root-house i f we wan t to. Of course, our taxes are coming due, bu t then the coun­ty treasurer is a good fe l low and we can jus t expla in matters to h i m snd he w i l l let us off.

" T h a t ta lk of Cowan's on "Organizers s n d Organ iza t ion ' is one of the best things ever put in the News. "The or­ganizer wants to make the workers feel tha t he is one of them, and not above them." Every organized ought to paste t ha t i n his hat .

" W e l l , this i s M o n d a y morn ing and I have to get another load of spuds i n the car before t r a in t ime. So long."

W e sometimes hear expressions l ike this , t h a t wi th so many men at work in the office (8), and so much work being turned out, and so many jobs on hand, outsiders do not see why the paper should be in need of help f rom the out­side. T h e case is l ike this -it is exac t ly l i k e a woman wi th five or six children r u n n i n g a boarding house. If she has a good many Iwiarders and is running a good, b i g business she has a grocery b i l l s n d m a n y other b i l l s to pay. But her income w i l l probably pay the b i l l s of the business. However , she has another proposi t ion to handle. In addi t ion to m a k i n g the business p s y for Itself she has got to m a k e i t support herself and

her s ix chi ldren. I f she can ' t do t h a t she can ' t run the business. T h e Montana N e w s plant , besides p a y i n g f o r the la­bor on al l th i s job work fo r the paper stock and the running expenses, has got to pay the dead ex|>ense of ge t t ing out the News ami a l l the p r i n t i n g f o r th« s ta te organizat ion. It wou ld be a pre t ty good business that could car ry a l l this a long on i t s profl ts . T h a t is w h y the pa r t y has got to ra l ly to support i t and ca r ry i t through. None of the old par ty po l i t i c a l papers th ing of ge t t ing through on thei r business. The b i g pol i t ic ians put up cold cash for them a l l the t ime. In th i s w a y the problem of the News may be p a r t i a l l y realized. I f you don't understand i t come and s tay in the of­fice a week and see fo r yoursel f .

" O n a r r i v i n g in Cen t r a l P a r k today I received your letter. Comrade W i l s o n w i l l be here Wednesday and I t h i n k can be procured fo r L i v i n g s t o n F r i d a y even­ing. I f he can or cannot, and y o u wish in ei ther case for me to go I can ar­range to go. W i l s o n charges $10 for his dates in the G a l l a t i n va l l ey , here and at Chestnut . As to m y price f o r the date at L i v i n g s t o n . I w i l l leave tha t to the state office to g ive whatever they t h ink is f a i r . The B u t t e comrades have engaged me fo r Oct. 20. 30 and 31. Those are a l l the dates I can put in that week. I might speak Monday night . N o v . 5th, i f the location could he in a place so I could he here early Tuesday morning . Y o u had better 'phone me Wednesdsy af te rnoon say at 4 o'clock so I w i l l know what to depend upon."

W e have the f o l l o w i n g encouraging report of Comrade Hudson 's meetings f r o m M a b i e :

" J u s t got home f rom F r i d l e y . Hudson s tayed over w i t h G r a n t M i l l i g a n , an old f r i e n d , and w i l l be over here i n the morning . W e had a f a i r crowd and he gave a good, p ln in . common-sense talk which took w e l l . H e says they would l i k e to see me up in A l d r i d g e and I w i l l t r y to get up there next week.

" I sent b i l l s and le t ter up to Cam­eron to make arrangements for Comrade H u d s o n at Chieo, and he sent w o r d back tha t H . J . M i l l e r speaks at Chico Spr ings tomorrow night and everybody was going there so i t wou ld be useless to t r y to hold s meet ing i n Chieo. W e l l , we w i l l go to the springs and t r y to get a chance to answer M i l l e r .

Oct . 2 6 .— I d id not say a l l I wan ted to about Hudson. He w i l l develop in to a first class speaker, f o r he makes the worke r feel that he is "one of us ." He keeps close to class l ines , and I believe he made the class s t ruggle p la iner than anyone has ever done to a F r i d l e y audi­ence. L a s t n ight we went up t o the Spr ings and wsnted t o answer M i l l e r , bu t he sidestepped. W e l l , John w i l l go a f t e r h im ton igh t in t o w n . "

W e sre in receipt of a pleasant and in te res t ing let ter f r o m Comrsde M s y Bea ls . now one of the na t iona l organ­izers of the Soc ia l i s t p a r t y . She says, i n her breezy s t y l e : " I haven ' t read the N e w s regular ly on account of being a w a y f r o m home so much . Soc ia l i sm is g r o w i n g r ap id ly , even i n the sou th , out among the backwoods people, where y o u d ' never t h i n k i t .

T h e y quote s c r i p t u r e — " Y o u r young men s h s l l see visions, and your daugh ters shal l prophesy." etc. D id y o u ever hear anyone prove socia l i sm out of the b ib le? T h e y can prove a n y t h i n g out of the bible. I am going to O k l a h o m a af te r election."

Comrade Fors ter reports the Bu t t e meetings |

" I submit you herewi th report of the Ben W i l s o n meetings in B u t t e . Ar r ived F r i d a y , Oct. 12. 1006, and had a very good meeting in sp i te o f a w f u l cold weather. Spoke to about 300 people.

S a t u r d a y , Oct. 13, spoke to about 900 work ingmen on "(torrent Ideas of So­c i a l i s m . " Sunday spoke to about 1,000 people. Sold l i te ra ture and took up a good collect ion. M o n d a y spoke again on street to about 000 men on " L o c a l Con­d i t ions . " Tuesday went to O n t e r v i l l a and held a f a i r l y good crowd, sold some books s n d took a collection. Wednesday held a meeting i n F ln lander h a l l ; had a good crowd, h a l l we l l filled. 'Sold qui te a s tock of books and took up a collec­t ion . Got a few subs fo r News. T h u r s -l a y spoke again on street to about 600 men. F r iday went to Melrose snd held a gitod meeting in hal l A f t e r meeting had a dance to wind up the meeting. C r o w d was very enthusiast ic . I believe we w i l l have a local organized there shor t ly . Sa tu rday spoke on street again and held a vast auoience. Tt was very cold th i s night , but the people of B u t t e seemed not to heed the cold. T h e y f a i r ­l y reveled in Ben's phrases as he sent them fo r th , each one bear ing a message to the enslaved class. Sunday held an­other good meeting. Wes the r was again cold, but spoke to about 500 men and women. I hope to see B u t t e pick up a f t e r the way people seem to appre­ciate the methods B e n l a y s down ss to the i r on ly hope and sa lva t ion . "

John Hudson has been m a k i n g noble efforts to put upaa good a campaign for congress as his means and oppor tun i ty would admi t of. He has done the work a t his own expense, and has experienced a b r i l l i an t sample of wha t fa l l s to the lot of the soldiers of the social revolut ion. He ha* come in con­tact w i t h a most disagreeable a i tua t ion of affairs a t Chestnut , a slave pen of the N o r t h e r n Pacif ic road. T h e i r coal miners are here, and the company owns everything— mines, housea, store, and any th ing else that is saleable. T h a emisaaries of the eystem are at every turn. Here is Comrade Hudson 's graphic account ot the mat te r :

" F r i d a y n igh t I found that N o . 5 was 12 hours ' late, so I hired a team and dr iver f o r $5 to take me to Chest­nut so aa not to d isappoint the com­rades. W h e n I got here hunted up Joe F r i e l . Found h im in a saloon d runk . Could walk and that was a l l . I showed him Comrade Graham's letter. R e pointed to a poster of Ben W i l s o n , and said, " T h a t is our roan." H e cal led M r s . H a r i e t t and M r s . L e w i s names, and said they had i t in for h i m . " H e is our man. W e s tand by h i m . He w i l l be Here T h u r s d a y . " I told h im I wanted to speak, and he said. " A l l r ight , we w i l l get you a c rowd," but he d idn ' t t r y to. He wanted to treat me; said to me, " W e are a l l on a drunk today, n a v e n ' t got notices f r o m Graham and won' t t i l l Tuesday, as our postoffice is put out . Then a Du tchman by the name of F r a n k Ki ihe hutted in and said he d idn ' t be­lieve I was a socialist., but a detective, and had no right to come there. I t was a l l 1 could do to keep f r o m slap­ping h im over, and I to ld h im 1 wou ld do so i f he wasn't a social is t . He sa id he was a better socia l is t than I . as he was b o m one. I t e l l y o u p l a i n l y i f he had l>een per fec t ly sober 1 would have put a head on h im that would eat hay. He said I just came there to get. I de­nied it and to ld h i m I was p a y i n g my own way . A s k Comrade H a z l e t t i f awe ever went up against a game l i k e that. He sniil T just came there to get money 1 denied i t and to ld h im I was p a y i n g my own way . A s k Comrade H a r i e t t i f she ever went up agninst a game l ike that.

"I have been t a l k i n g to the c lerk at this store, nnd he said he saw the b i l l s last n ight and dated them h imse l f , and to ld me where I could get the proof . So I went to tne saloon and saw Thomas

L i n d -• iy . ami he verified i t , and showed me waer* las F r i e l tore up one of the poster- He also to ld me tha t F r i e l to ld him (Lindsay) tha t they would have to Iwat the republican nominee for she i i i ! . Lindsay replied, 'Yes , how w i l l we So it?" F r i e l said, B y vo t ing for the 'I. inooratii ' nominee f o r sheriff . How Is that for a socia l is t candidate? I am going to prefer charges against h im « h e n I get home. H a v e got a lot more 1 could write about h i m . Lindsay ia nut ,i dues-paying member, but is a subscriber to the News .

"Saw one of m y old t ime acquain­tances and he says eve ry th ing i n Gardi­ner is republican except t w o democrats. W e w i l l see. M u s t go in to Cook C i t y if i t takes a leg and one eye."

T h i s report uncovers a nas ty state of affairs . The man F r i e l ev ident ly mer­i t s dealing with b y the pa r ty . He ha* been reported before aa under suspicion of being a spotter i n Ja rd ine . The soon-sr the socialist pa r ty cleans up a mess l i k e this the better.

John Hudson wri tes f r o m L i v i n g s t o n : " I stayed over today to at tend the re publican ra l ly . A f t e r M r . P r a y spoke and t lie applause ceased I got up and ask. ! him if he would give me just a few momenta to reply to h i m , that I was his opponent on the socia l is t t icket . He >at there apparent ly dazed for sev­eral minutes. It was rea l ly embarrassing fo r him Then Judge Henry jumped up and wi th a -weep of his hand said . "Go and hire a hall i f yon want t o answer him " I w i l l answer him F r i d a y night at the Trades and l a b o r Assemblv h a l l . "

Aldr idge . Oct. 24.—Had a splendid meeting here last night f o r such short notice. Saw some republ icans in the audience applauding, so I guess they won' t scab at the ba l lo t box any more. I believe Hooney and Mab ie w i l l be elected. I f so, you l i s ten f o r a y e l l f r om Carbon county. I have heard the most damaging stories here about Joe F r i e l . I told the hoys to w r i t e you and they -a id they would. W i l s o n has been wr i t ­ing here t r y i n g to hold the boys up, but they turned him down. There is a fine -ecretary here in the local . He is a rus­tler. I spoke in the schoolhouse. The trustees are comrades. W e w i l l get a good vote here. I to ld the boys i f they scratched anyone to scratch me. I en­close throse pieces of the poster that F r i e l tore up."

state secretary of North Dakota:

While in companv v..:h you and sev eral <itliti emm ,idc- in Karjio you stated that you had liven trying to pet in touch with the secretaiv of South |)a kota on the ijuestion ol North and South Dakota co operating la placing an orpani/er in the field, hut up to date you hud reeei\ed no reply.

The names that Isith Comrade Graham ami yourself are in BaaaMBaMl of could In* written to, and good pledges be secured from as many as possible before the work commenced from $10 to $100. or more.

ROOSEVELT AGAINST THE MINERS' UNIONS.

Iloise Ida.. Ooc. 24. A special to the Statesman, from Washington. D. C , » a y s :

That President Roosevelt thoroughly approves the cour»o taken by Governor Cooiling in prosccut ini; the men churned with the murder of ex-Oovernor Steun-enlierg can no longer lie questioned. It was officially announced today that Sec­retary Taft . the strong arm of the ad­ministration, at the special reque-t of the president will make two speeches in Idaho in order that the people of that state may know that the avmpathies of the national administration are with C' vcrnor flooding nnd those wh,> stand by him for law and order. Secretary Taft will speak al I'oeatello Friday. No­vember ami at Hoise the next day.

President RaaaavaM has lieen deeply interested in the Idaho campaign since its inception because he h a s been anx-i,,iis that the people shall give their hearty lupport to the ticket that stands for law and order, lie deeply regretted the attempt made in some quarter* to becloud the issue when it was HO appar­ent to him this is the only issue in­volved.

The president is so intensely in earn­est that his instructions to Secret nv Taft would leave aa option, if he had any inclination to choose other topic*, but Secretary Tatt is as much concerned as the president. One of his friends said when his trip was announced: "You can bet your last dollar that Taft will give those dynamiters hell."

Democrats Challenge Republican!. Hal demoeiats of Montana have done

their expected stunt before the voters and gone through the farce of challeng­ing the republicans to debate, and the republicans have gone through the farce of pcditelv telling why they could not debate the democrats.

The whole thing is simply a by pl iy for the people made up by tho-e who boss the job. The leaders of the politi­cal iron clad rule of the people know very well who is to be elected to boss these governed cattle, and their chal­lenges are only for effect. The big re­publican powwow at the Auditorium was disgusting in the studied effort of the speakers, Dixon, Pray and Smith, to -ay nothing as effectively as possi hie. They attacked no vital part in the position of the democrats. Vot a word alsnit the treacherous administration of Poole, nothink but empty platitudes.

The reason is that . ae capitalist blood suckers have it made up that Toole is to go to the senate and Walsh to the house. They don't want to do any­thing to interfere with their roseate path. They both represent the capital­ists in league to keep the workers in subjection. Marx lays governments are comuiittcs of the ruling class. They are rich and luxurious because they keep the working class working for them, and

I rob them of their product, nnd they all I together hate the sociali-ts liecause they , will finally overthrow their graft.

WHY MORE WORKERS THAN JOBS 1. A surplus of workers in the laboi

market is indispen-able to production under the wage sy stem I capitalism. I

i . The toiler's insecurity in the em­ployment through which he procurea the n cessities . i f life is indispensable to the wage sy-tetn.

."I. Competition by the workers in the labor market is indispensable to the wage system.

I. The means by which (lie capitalist-force profitable service from the worker is the power to exclude him from the job at which he must be employed to pi,,cure the means o f Ufa, The capital ists must have the service of worker-to increase his wealth and capital, lie I u Id not discharge a worker without a l o s s of profit unless there is an iinem ployed worker to take the place of the worker discharged: heme the idle work er -cpkitiv' employment is necessary t" enable the Capitalist* to discharge a

j worker without loss af profit. II. With the unemployed vvork.i

waiting fat a chanM to t ike the place of the employed vv,,rker. the employed must work with at least a- •jreat speed and -kill as the employed worker can or the unemployed worker will be given the job. Thus the unemployed is nee c s - a r y to production under the wage system, in order to exact f i on i the work ers their utmost efficiency.

III. The capitalists could not profit by-owning the jak unle-s the workers have to be employed at the-e jol»s for a wage that is less than the market price of the product of their labor, and the only way to compel them la do this is to com­pel them to compete in the labor mar­ket for their pnbs.

There must be less jobs than workers or there can be no competition for these jobs. Competition for polis pre­supposes an army of unemployed This obvious fact is forcing itself niion the minds of the people until the hot air spouters who assert that "there is a

job tor every one w h o ia willing to | work" will s o o n be made the laughing 1

stock of the community, and he de- { MM ves to be.

I bus we see these factors in the wage sv stem which makes the uneniplov ed '

I ai in v of MiJN inevitable.

Pleat The power to discharge the worker without loss of profit to the i capitalist.

Second 1 he power to exact the ut j IIMat -peed and skill from the worker.

Third -The power to buy labor for ' I, M than the value of its products.

As the purchasing power of the wage :

must always remain near the point of subsistence, any invention and improve- :

merit in mechanical forces that increase 1

the workers' power to creat wealth in­creases the difference between the pur­chasing power of his wage and the mar- ' ket price of his product of his labor, j This is a subtle factor in multiplying the differences of disposing of this prod- j net in the market. (If this condition oc- j easionally enables the capital to get possession of some market, the differ B a n is only temporarily po-t poin d, for that individual industry.) When the capitalist cannot dispose of his product profitably he no longer has a job for the worker.

The wage system must lie abolished anil socialism inaugurated.

The problem as to how the worker may be made secure in his freedom and the mean- of life, is the ,,nl\ i - ic worth one moment of his thought.

Insecurity in employment is the greate-t menace to the toilers' life and happiness. No other power can so ef­fectively destroy the pride and courage of manhood: no other condition of life is so subtle in its power to .blight the virtues of womanhood. Insecurity in the employment through which one pro­cures the means of life is the arch fiend of all the curses that has ever liefallen human it \ Socialist News.

What You Vote For, and What You Get For Voting It.

If you vote for the democratic or re­publican parties you give the capitalists absolute control of the law making branch of the government, tluoiigh which they rivet ineir control of the machinery of production. Yon giva them the power to make you pay any price they want for what you consume, and set the price on what you have to sell; to grind your little children up In to profit. There are 2,.r>00.0<»0 children un-

! der 15 years of age working in factorial and sweat shops, anil their average life in the mills is four years. You give the capitalists the power to make -ausnge out of dogs nnd rats, number QMS leaf lard out of cholera pigs and hog! that die in transit; canned beef out of sick atari and dead h o r s e s , and Corpses out of the people that eat it. If yon are a w a e e slave they set the price ot your u a / c s . If von refuse to work they -end their troops to the house you call yours in the middle of the night, in the mid­dle of the winter, take you out of l>ed. put you on board a train in four night clothes, ship you out of the state, un-hmd you on the prairie, twenlv miles from nowhere, and threaten foa witk death if yon return.
