WHAT THE WAR 7'77
DEPARTMENT KNOWS
When an Industrial disturbance
takes place anywhere there is often
an investigation by congress, or some
federal commission., Yet there Is one
department of the federal government
that seems to have quite accurate In
formation about general Industrial
conditions and knows Just what sort
of an ; inducement to offer to get
workers away from present jobs. That
department is the department of war.
It knows that American workingmen
are paid so little that their condition
would be bettered on being given a
chance to earn enough to be able to
save $10 a month.
; S That the war department knows
this to be a fact, Is proven by the cir
culars for free distribution in front of
every recruiting office, beginning with
these words in big "letters:
Young Man, How Much Do You
Earn?:,,^™. 1,;..
Then the circular goes on to tell
that in the army the poorest paid sol
dier "can save $10 every month and
bank with the government, receiving
four per cent interest on the deposit."
They can save this, it says, besides
getting "board, lodging, clothing,, doc
tors, medicines and things necessary
for physical development and athletic
training."
Such conditions can only be an in
ducement to men who are getting not
only less, but so much less that they
consider the difference to be sufficient
compensation for the liberty they
must surrender on joining the army.
So, whatever the case may be with
other departments of the government,
the war department knows quite well
that average workers In the United
States are so wretchedly underpaid,
that the ridiculously low pay of a sol
dier actually exceeds what they get.
And the war department has never
appointed a commission to conduct a
long investigation to find this out.,.
What one government department
knows the other' departments can
learn. So no congressman or state
legislator has any excuse for the ig
norance that speaks of American la
bor as being well paid. And every
legislator is in duty bound to take
note of the fact that men employed
in providing wealth get less of it
than soldiers engaged in non-produc
tive occupations.
BOY SCOUTS SUBSIDIZED
BY COIN OF ROCKE
FELLER AND CARNEGIE
"The Rockefeller Foundation is a
generous contributor to the Boy
Scouts of America. Mr. Carnegie is
also very liberal with us. Lots of
other rich people do the same. We
get large contributions from all these
people. The only stipulation the con
tributors make is, 'Don't say that we
are doing it.' "
So said Col. Colin Livingston, pres
ident of the National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America at the first an
nual conference of the National Coun
cil of Girl Scouts. He says the an
nual expenses of the Boy Scout or
ganization amounts to $360,000 and
the receipts in dues amount to $40,
--000. This leaves a deficit of $320,
--000 and is contributed by the finan
cial magnates of America.
CHARGE IS DENIED
BUT THEY LIE
Denial of the charge that Professor
James H. Brewster, of the University
of Colorado law faculty, had been dis
missed on account of his sympathy
with the union coal miners in the re
cent Colorado coal strike, was made
by Regents Dudley and Ragan. They
said he was elected for one year only
and that his time had expired.
WHAT IS SOCIALISM?
Socialism is a conscious endeavor
to substitute organized co-operation
for existence in place of the present
anarchical competition for existence.
It is an attempt to lay the foundation
of a real science of sociology, which
shall enable mankind, by thoroughly
understanding their past and present
to comprehend, and thus, within
limits, to control the movement and
development of their own society in
the near future. —11. M. Hyndman.

PENALIZING TEACHERS OF
TRUTH
Professor Scott Nearing, of the Uni
verßlty of Pennsylvania, has been ills-
I missed. Ho taught too much truth to
Ilia political economy classes to suit
tho plutocratic trustees' of the uni
versity. He hail hail several warnings
that bis course was displeasing, but
continued nevertheless to try to give
his students as thorough an education
as they were led to believe they
would get when they entered the uni
versity
He concealed nothing from them re
garding existing conditions. He show
ed them the facts about child labor,
low wages and high cost of living. He
led them to study proposed remedies,
and emphasized the necessity of taxa
tion of land values as "the most press
ing ot all reforms for the reduction of
monopoly power."
So the board of trustees became
very uneasy. On the board were such
representatives of the Interests as K.
T. Stoteshury, of J. P. Morgan & Co.;
Randal Morgan, of the United Gas
Improvement Company; J. Levering
Jones, Corporation Attorney, and oth
ers. Several times the board showed
a disposition to discipline Professor
Nearing, but he refused to bo silent.
So finally at the end of the term, on
June 17, a notice was sent to him
that his services at the university
were no longer required.
Now, what must be the effect of
this occurrence on other professors?
All of them may not see their way
clear to prefer dismissal to withhold
ing from students of any instruction
that they should have. For every pro
fessor who deliberately risks dismis
sal there must bo many who feel that
they can not afford to do so. So one
result of the Nearing Incident must
be that some professors will not Im
part to their classes all that these
classes have a right to hear from
them. Since that Is no recommenda
tion to any institution of learning,1
young persons in search of an educa
tion would do well to avoid those col
leges where, professors have been sub
jected to the discipline inflicted at
Pennsylvania on Scott Nearing. The
trustees of the University of Penn
sylvania have done little or no per
sonal harm to Professor Nearing. But
they have done great harm to the uni
versity and its students. However,
the illustration it offers of the work
ing out of "the class struggle" in our
educational institutions Is some offset
to the injury done Dr. Nearing.
SOME MERCIFUL
CONSIDERATIONS
Colorado has kept pace with Penn
sylvania in ousting Prof. James H.
Brewster from the state university.
Professor Brewster was a member of
the faculty of law in the university,
and the fact that he was also one of
the attorneys for the union miners be- j
fore the congressional committee last
year, and made public expression of
his sympathies with them, is the sup
posed reason for his dismissal.
We say "supposed, for certain rea
sons. If these reasons did not exist
we should be inclined to come out
flatfooted with the assertion that he
was fired on this account. But com
mon prudence dictates caution.
For it comes to our notice at this
juncture that Chanceller Day, of Syra
cuse university, a firm advocate and
strenuous champion of capitalism, in
ruminating on the discharge of Prof.
Scott Nearing from the University of
Pennsylvania suggests that there were
good reasons for such dismissals, but
that "merciful consideration for the
public" induces the trustees to "keep
them from knowing all the facts,"
both in the Nearing and in other
cases. And as Chancellor Day thus
only allows us to guess at the rea
sons, we exercise the privilege and
make the guess that the discharges
are due to the heretical attitude of the
culprits toward capitalism and capi
talistic interests in general.
However, Chancellor Day himself,
will never run any such risk. So far
as his position is concerned, there
will never be any occasion for show
ing "merciful consideration to the pub
lic" on his account.
If he ever is induced to leave his
position in Syracuse university it
might be to take the superior posi
tion of a capitalistic inquisitor-general
to try professional heretics from other
universities —out of "merciful consid
eration to the public," of course. It
will be remembered that the old time
inquisitors-general were rather strong
on "mercy."
Chancellor Day would make an ex
cellent twentieth century Torquemada
for the unholy inquisition established
by endangered exploitative interests.
His remarks on the Nearing case are
all that could be asked in proving his
special qualifications for the office. —

SHOULD USE SAME
MEANS OF WARFARE
ON CAPITALISM
By MRS. C. W. BTIOVIONS
Olio of the terrible results of the
war Is the Increased birth rate of1 Il
legitimate children In tho warring na
tions. 'I'll.- unsottled condition of
ordinary customs, the breaking of
home lies, ami the constant excite
ment, all contribute to the overthrow
of normal standards.
'I'he governments are advertising
for boy babies, anil every Inducement
Is offered to women to become breed
ing machines and furnish fodder for
cannon.
The government offers to take care
of the children, nourish and educate
them, no matter If they are degener
ate, vicious or Illegitimate. The
mothers will be cared for both before
and after the child Is born.
Girls are urged to become "war
brides" and are rewarded by the gov
ernment for marrying some soldier
before he leaves for the front, whom,
in time of pence, the girl would never
think of marrying.
The situation, however, suggests
one powerful remedy that might be
applied by women to this war craze.
No ono suffers so much from war as
women and therefore no one has more
right to attempt to stop it than wom
en. The governments have themselves
suggested a way In which women
may help to stop It, and that Is by de
claring a birth strike In case of a
country going to war.
If this movement were well consid
ered and agitated by Socialist women
It would offer a splendid method of
showing how strong tho sentiment la
against war in this country, and Is
the only method I have heard advo
cated to stop the war craze.
Why not use the same method to
force the masters to find a solution
for the problem of unemployment and
poverty?
LIMITATION OF OFFSPRING
IN SPITE OF THE WAR
Our good friend Dr. C. V. Drysdalo,
of London, the editor of The Malthu
sian, informs us that In spite of the
war their propaganda in favor of the
limitation of offspring, and their prac
tical work in teaching the poor how
to prevent undesirable conception, is
going on as usual. The patriotic ap
peal to the women in all countries to
breed Incontinently so as to prepare
cannon-food in future wars, Is not
meeting with a very cordial reception.
In fact we believe that when this
I cursed war is over the women of the
j world will have a good deal more to
say in vital matters affecting the na
tions than they had before, and one
of the first things they will declare
will be that they have a right to say
how many children they are going to
have and when they are going
to have them. They will perceive
that too many children are not only
a burden to the poor individual fam
ily, but also a curse to the nation at
large, for an excessive population is
one of the fundamental incitements
to war and slaughter.—Critic and
Guide.
The laws of this country do not al
low this knowledge to be given out to
those that need it most. The Malthu
slan league publish books on this sub
ject, but they are not allowed to be
sent through the mall nor sold in this
country, although there are some
copies to be had. The only way to
get this information is to get acquaint
ed with somebody that has the knowl
edge.
INVENTION MAY HIT
POSTOFFICE MEN
A new letter distributing machine
which is being tested by the postoffice
department of tho government may
revolutionize the handling of mail if
it is generally adopted. The machine
Is the invention of William Barry,
Oswego, N. V., who originated the
Barry canceling machine.
The new device, demonstrated In
New York only recently, is pro
nounced a marvel. The case is oper
ated like a typewriter. Letters are
placed first in a pile on top of the
machine. From this one of these is
caused to descend to a place where
the operator can read the address. He
strikes a key, corresponding to its
destination, and the letter is made to
pass between the underside of the
belt and the upper side of the gates,
at a high velocity, until it reaches the
box with the gate opened, into which
it drops.
The postoffice department has rec
ognized the advantage of the device
and has ordered two of them for test
ing purposes. Three hundred per
cent more work can be done than by
the old hand process. There is -a
weighing scheme attached so that if
a piece of mail is overweight it is
immediately detected. The number
of pieces passing through the ma
chine are recorded. They are also
weighed in bulk before being run
through the case.
THE NORTHWEST WORKER
BETTER BE CAREFUL
The motion proposed by Local Ort-
Ing, "to strike out of Art. 0, Section I,
the sentence "ii. shall not be an em
ploye ot the stale executive commit
tee after bis election," is ■ move to
deliberately Invite disaster ami before
any local undertake! to second 11, the
following should be given careful con
sideration.
1. We aro not bo woefully short of
members, capable of making first
rata executive committee members,
hat one who fools himself endowed
with the divine gift of oratory needs
to sacrifice his calling In order to
save the party.
2. It Is always possible that an
executive committeeman with oratorl-
cal aspirations may overrate himself
and estimate his gift away above what
Others do. However, It would not bo
pleasant for the state secretary to tell
him that he Is not good enough, if
such Is the case. In other words, tho
executive committeeman could black
mall himself Into a job, using his vote
In the committee as a club.
3. , If this motion were to carry, wo
would have an executive committee,
the members of which could vote
money Into their own pockets In the
shape of wages. No matter how well
such wages would be deserved, the
procedure would always lay the com
mittee open to the charge of corrup
tion and thus form a basis for slander
and backbiting.
4. We aro not, and are apparently
not for a long time to come going to
be, in a position to pay ANY wages
to anyone, except to the state secre
tary, and I take it for granted that the
motion Is not Intended to make him
eligible to membership In the state
executive committee.
5. There is nothing In the consti
tution to hinder a member of the exe
cutive committee from being routed
by the state office at a stipulated price
to bo paid by the locals that accept
him as speaker, or on the collection
basis.
6. The provision as it now reads
Is the wisest one in the constitution
and if it were to be adopted nationally
In that form, we would have better
national executive committees than
we have had so far.
7. It is impossible to conceive of
anything to be gained by the change
proposed.
This last statement also holds good
in regard to the renewed attempt up
on the life of county autonomy, as
proposed in the motion by Local Ev
erett No. 1 under the misleading head
ing: "IMPROVED PLAN FOR
COUNTY AUTONOMY."
The state secretary informs us that
the former attempt to wipe out "Home
Rule" was defeated by ONLY 34 votes.
When we consider the well known
phenomenon that every member who
doesn't know exactly how to vote, al
days votes "Yes" in order to dispose
of a quandary in the easiest manner,
then 34 votes is quite a number. Let
us not lose our patience and start
breaking up the furniture because
things don't come our way exactly as
fast as we could wish. When it is
time to retrench it will be proper to
begin at the top.

How to Advertise Hall Meetings.
A Canadian comrade makes a very
good suggestion relative to advertis
ing Socialist speakers. "In getting
out CARDS to advertise hall meet
ings," says this comrade (in Western
Clarion) "their BACKS should al
ways be used to Induce people to in
vestigate the philosophy and aims of
the Socialist movement. It is not
sufficient merely to announce that
so-and-so is to speak In such-and
such a hall on a certain date.
To make the meeting a success, the
speaker's ability as a lecturer should
be described, or the importance of
his subject amplified, or quotations
made from the utterances of famous
people showing the necessity of un
derstanding Socialism or a few in
teresting facts and figures given that
will compel people to sit up and think.
Advertising that does not awaken in
people the desire to hear a certain
man or to find out what Socialists are
fighting for, is of little or no value.
Hence, in all dodgers, cards and
newspaper advertisements an attempt
should be made to ATTRACT people
to the hall, to get them reading,our
literature, to provoke them into dis
cussing our claims with their ac
quaintances."
A new bill that has been introduc
ed In the house of commons by Lloyd
George and which is likely to pass
will make strikes and lockouts ille
gal, provides for compulsory arbitra
tion, gives the power to fine any
worker who "slows up" on the job
and creates a volunteer army of work
men who will be pledged to go wher
ever they are wanted for the making
of munitions of war.
JACK WOOD WRITES
ON POWER OF PRESS
A COMRADELY APPRECIATION
WITH A MORAL.
Editor Northwest Socialist:
Dear Comrade: Tho plaint of John
Qreenleaf Whlttier, the grand old
Quaker poet, may well bo resounded
today.
It's a tocsin for the times, not of
defamation of would-be domination as
to personalities, but a clear clarion
call for justice from the pulpit and the
press.
In the report of the celebrated pro
slavery meeting In Charlestown, S. C,
on the 4th of September, 1835, pub
lished In tho Courier of that city, it Is
stated: "The clergy of all denomina
tions attended in a body, lending their
sanction to the proceedings." (See
Whitticr's poems — Hy Altemus Coy
Kdltlon.)
And your Anti-War teachings strike
home! Good. The powers that be
flinch from the truth—
"King out a slowly dying cause.
And ancient forms of party strife;
King in the nobler modes of life.
With sweeter manners, purer laws."
The lilt of Tennyson is "beautiful,"
"sweet," "Inspiring," "divine," so they
say, but when the Socialist editor gets
down to bed rock as to war and wage
slavery, the "sweetness" of Tennyson
Is forgotten and the Socialist editor
Is dubbed anarchist!
No anarchist he, but the defender
of Industrial organization and eco
nomic order —bread —life—ln the
fullest sense for all.
"We should be always talking to
the workers; if we make them know
how they are robbed, and how to
put an end to that robbery, they will
do the Job."
SUCH IS YOUR AIM, AND YOUR
BUCC-388 HURTS. Surely, the con
verted, the Socialists, will hew
straight to the line, and more than
keep the Northwest Worker on its
financial feet. Such will be the case,
never fear!' Cheerily, you'll win out!
I So, hit out, and ponder not, nor halt—
1 march!
■ "(live me above all other Liberties,
the Liberty to know, to utter, and to
argue freely, according to conscience."
This you have striven and written
for. You must be upheld.
"God give us men. A time like this
demands
Great hearts, strong minds, true faith
and willing hands;
Men and women the lust of office does
not kill.
Men whom the spoils of office cannot
buy,
Men who possess opinions and a will,
Men of honor, men who will not lie."
Yours for the Revolution,

SOCIALISM DEFINED.
The first constituent element of
socialism may, therefore, be stated to
be a substitution of collective property
in the great material instruments of
production in the place of private
property to such an extent that pub
lic property shall dominate the world's
work. The second constituent element
is private property in income and pri
vate property in those goods which
are used for the sake of enjoyment
and not for the acquisition of an in
come by rent or hire to others.
Modern socialism demands collec
tive management of each industry,
and it demands that all the industries
should be associated together, in or
der thereby to secure perfect system,
harmony, and unity of effort.
Finally, socialism means the dis
tribuption of income by some common
authority.—The New International
Cyclopedia.
"SOCIALISM."
A,
Socialism is a word having two dis
tinct but related meanings: primarily j
it is used as the name of a certain
philosophy of history and method of
interpreting and analyzing. social
phenomena. In the second place,
since this philosophy and method have
as one of their principal conclusions
that society is evolving toward a co- i
operative social stage, the word is i
used to designate a co-operative social i
organization, where the means for the !
production and distribution of wealth
are the collective property of the work
ing class, while the goods which are
to be consumed become the private
property of the individual workers.

THE VITAL FACTOR
-:; By CHAS. W. ERVIN
The vital factor in the spread of Socialism is the weekly local
Socialist press. In the very nature of things as they are, this must be
true. We must prove our case by taking the things that the man and
woman is in daily contact with, and apply our theory to them and not '
to something far away. Even the present world war is not as valu
able to us for propaganda purposes as the war for bread that gees
on every day at our door-step. -1;*1
Every newspaper man knows that local and not foreign or na- *
tional news is the determining factor in circulation. One good city
! editor is worth in dollars and cents to the publishers of newspapers,
| fifty times as much as one editorial writer who can write learnedly
on all of the world's happenings. This may be a very provincial, a
very narrow attitude on the part of the readers who are more inter
ested in what happened at the city hall, in the shop or store, but it
j exists and must be reckoned with by efficient men and women active
!in the Socialist movement. And it is a debatable question' whether
this interest in persons and incidents at home is either narrow or
provincial. . ' -.». .■•'■:*- A<'.-'^S*\7A7:A^77'A77:'.
Only a local press can deal with local conditions and happenings
efficiently. It may be claimed that a portion of the local Socialist
j press is inefficient. It is inefficient just in proportion that the local -
movement is inefficient. If the movement gives its support this press
will always be found to be efficient. And by "efficient support" we
don't mean just subscribing to the local paper. A Socialist who fails
to understand that the Socialist press is being published in the- capital
ist system subject to all the rules of the capialist game in income and
outgo needs an operation on his brain cells. 7777
The Socialists and sympathizers with the movement in any local
, ity can make or break any Socialist weekly. No editor or business
! manager can make or break it. The members and friends can make
it by using their purchasing power to bring advertisers into the pa
: per and keep them there. They can break it by NOT using this power
in the interest of their own press. '"-,•*"'.''."
Right here, some dreamer of things as htey ought •to be may
exclaim, '' What's buying our colthes, our food, our fuel, got to do
with the evolution?" Everythingthat is if you believe that
1 you must get people to revolt if you want a revolution. The only way
! to get them to revolt is to convince them that it is in their power to
change conditions the moment they organize to fight those who are
j riding on their backs. And the only way to convince them is through
the printed and spoken word. •#•s ;A A' 7:7
While you are trying to convince them, you have to pay toll to
the capitalit system you are trying to get them to abolish. If you can
1 get the paper lord to give you the paper without money, the printer
| lord to print the paper without pay, the landlord to let you live on his.
premises without rent, why you needn't worry about having any
advertising in your paper. 7A'A
Another dreamer will tell you, 'Why, you're helping the business
people who are enemies of Socialism when you secure trade for them
;in this way. Sure—and pray whom are you helping when you buy
from those who don't advertise in your paper? Every dollar you
spend helps the enemy and will until you get rid of the capitalist class.
You can make your dollar that you have to spend with your enemy,
1 count in spreading the knowledge of Socialism or you can make it
■ count against the spreading of it. Which do you desire?
| A Socialist who has not enough vision to use his purchasing
power to spread the doctrines that he claims to believe in, is not an
efficient Socialist, is not really a Socialist at all. He is just a doc
trinaire and no one should take him seriously. This workaday world
is no place for him and the sooner he is translated from the move
j ment, the better for it. And this is true whether he can repeat every-
I thing that Marx wrote forward and backward, upside and downside
i and can solve the problem of what became of the value of a bunch of'
bananas when it was thrown overboard.
Let's get wise and organize what power we have right now to get
more power in the near future by increasing the number of men and
women to help us do the job. And the best way to do this is to secure
more efficient publicity and that means a more efficient local weekly
Socialist press. : v:
