ORGANIZATION NEWS
MOST DIFFICULT PLACE FOR
SOCIALIST PROPAGANDA
By Emll Herman
As a Socialist Party speaker, upon
iirrlvliiK lit your destination for the
day, If you lie so fortunate as to be
met at the depot, you will, seven times
out of ten. M soon as uroetlni's have
been i \i hanK'ii. be casually Informed
by your new found comrade somewhat
in this manner:
"You have Itnioh a hard propotltiOO
here, comrade; this Ih the worst place
In the country to do Socialist work In.
It Is Impossible to Ret people out to
H Socialist lecture here."
If yon are not met at the depot yon
feel your way until yon land the So
cialist who Is supposed to have thn
meet Inn In charge when you are like
wise Informed as ipioled above.
For a time you wonder how many
worst places there be In (hi' country
to do Boclaltlt work In. but finally yon
Kt>t wise and yon anticipate Hint each
place is the worst place and yon licat
your comrade to It by asking: "Well,
I suppose, llko most other places I
have been to recently, this 4s the
worst place In the country to do So
cliiltst propaganda in?"
Upon Inquiring Into how well the
meeting Is advertised, you learn that
some in about half the places all
Of I lie posters have been put up.
You then ask: "Have any tickets
beer, sold'"'
"\n, we didn't try; it would be no
use as people here will not pny ten
cents U) hear I Socialist lecture."
"Have nil the prople With telephones
in their homes been invited to attend
the lecture?"
"No, mJfet of those who have tele
phones would not come anyway."
"Did you have some one announce
the lecture at church last Sunday?"
"No, there was no use in doing that,
people who go to church are too bigot
id to listen to a Socialist speaker."
"You say you had a grange (or a
union meeting) last week. No doubt
it was announced there?"
"Am sorry to say it wasn't, comrade1,
we selected no one to attend to that
lat our last meeting of the local and
1 am a poor hand to attend to such
j mat'.ers myself."
"Did you prepare a little 'write up'
j and present 11 to your local paper as
In news item?'
"No, we have not been accustomed
!to dome; lhat and therefore forgot
>U about it."
"Has the lecture been announced at
the school house and the children re
] quested to invite their parents to at
.tend?"
"No, we haven't any Socialist in the
i community who felt competent to do
i that."
"Seeing that you failed to sell tick
jets (and thereby conuiel the non-so
cialists to pay for their own educa
tion) I take It for granted that you
'have arranged for ushers to take up
| the collection and assist in the sale
lof literature?"
"No, but we can easily find a few
comrades at the meeting who will
volunteer to act in that capacity."
"Have you decided on who is to act
as chairman?"
"No, we never select the chairman
until just before the lecture begins."
And so on and so forth until you
are convinced that nothing has been
done except to put up a few window
cards and pass out a few hand bills.
You of course realize that this is
very inadequate and that the meeting
will be a failure unless some hurry
up advertising is done. Perhaps It Is
one of the occasions when you have
had to walk from five to twenty miles
to meet the engagement; it is late in
the day, you are fatigued, you need
some reßt, so in order to do justice
to your lecture you let things slide
and take a chance. The result is a
small audience; you are peeved by
the apathy, indifference, lack of judg
ment and inefficiency manifested by
Socialists generally and the comrades
present aggravate the situation fur
ther by remarking, "Just as I expect
ed; you can't do anything for Social
ism in this community. There is no
[use trying."
If you arrive in time you look up a
I few willing comrades and with their
'help advertise as best you can in so
short a lime and inasmuch as people
are really anxious to ascertain what
the Socialist Party has to offer them,
succeed in netting out a good-sized
audience, Then the Socialists present
express themselves as agreeably sur
prlsed and inform you that they really
did not expect the people to turn out
so well,

ThiK Ih probably true; but what of

ollned to probe tha raping of the na

oommlttee, concerning the recall of 3.
Mahion linnioH as campaign manager,
tired Work and elected l.anferslek.
Work, although not a ItrODg man, had
oeverthelen too muofa manhood to be
acceptable. Ho was apt to ejtpOM any
aitenipt to govern the party without
the consent of the governed.
No one had any right to expect big
things from Lanferslek, and lie has
disappointed no one. His occupation
wus that of lawyer and for eight yenrs
ho had been stale secretary of Ken
tucky, an organization of about eight
hundred members, In tho Washing
ton controversy ho certainly proved
himself a loyal servant of the bunch
that had set Us mind upon the de
struction of the Washington party. lint
there was a limit to his pliability. In
the course of time he began to under
stand the dignity of his high office'
and undertook to assert It. Then the
trouble also began. He objected to
the violation of the constitution by the
executive committee when It sent one
of its members, George Ooebel, on a
speaking tour through the South at an
expense of $200. George, by the way,
delights In expensive trips and has
more than once been the cause of
rumpus because of his luxurious pre
dilections. Comrade Lanferslek later
on found that his department chiefs,
thanks to their close connection with
Uerger, forgot to render him the hom
age due him, and resented his super
intendence. Everything would prob
ably have come off o.k. if the finances
of the Party had not begun to cause
anxiety. Comrade l.anfersiek was
compelled to admit failure and to
point out causes and remedies. There
is not a city in the land, with com
mission form of government, where
the commissioners do not have some
such fun when it comes to trimming
down the budget and the National of
fice might have learnt a lesson from
practical politicians. They should do
their fighting among themselves and
not let us mutts know anything about
It.
Suppose he has wasted $4,000. The
Information Department has cost
more than $5,000 per year for nearly
three years and every cent of it was
wasted. The Literature Department
has always been managed at a loss.
Chas. H. Kerr, a private corporation,
has always managed to come out all
right in the same business. But Kerr
is printing books worth reading, which
is seldom the case with the Literature
Department. Kerr can sell books at
a price that makes it possible for state
secretaries, locals and book stores to
do buaineil with him, but the National
office does not attempt to do it.
Now, the idea seems to be to get
rid of Lanferßiek before the election
in November. If the executive com
mittee has the chance to appoint his
successor before the election, they
know very well that their appointee
could not be defeated for the office.
Thero would be no use in nominating
an opponent even. It is understood
that their choice would be Oermer and
it would be impossible to make a
worse selection. He is a cheap dem
agogue. Kngdahl, the editor of the
American Socialist, who, as editor of
the Chicago daily, probably more than
any one else contributed to the death
of that colorless misfit publication,
may be considered. It is to be hoped
that the National committee has de
cency enough to pay no attention to
this belated criticism but will permit
the term of Lanfersiek to expire in its
natural way and thus let the member
ship decide who is to be his succes
sor.

WHY THERE IS WAR
By Bonner Bartlett
Edmonds, Wn., 9-16-15.
Northwest Worker.
Dear Comrades. —There has been so
much said about Socialism not being
able to prevent wars that I thought I
would write a few lines on this sub
ject.
It is pointed out by many that the
European Socialists did not prevent
war and that Socialism is no cure for
wars.
Socialism was not in power in Eu
rope; if it had been there would have
been no army or navy and without
these there couldn't be any wars. To
be sure there were a good many So
cialists in Europe, but there were not
enough of them to turn the powerful
tide of militarism and so it carried
everything with it.
As some always resisted a military
program, they resisted It to the ut
most, but were carried on in the
whirlpool in spite of this. As some
were used to protesting they merely
protested. As some were used to
compromising, they compromised
The fact is there is more power of
resistance in some people than there
is in others. Thus Liebknecht and
Rosa Luxemburg resisted to the ut
most the hand of militarism. While
others of a more servile state of miud
merely protested or fell in line.
Many say the International failed.
Of course it did. You cannot have a
peace program for capitalist govern
ments. They want peace only as long
as (hey are benefiting by it. As long
as there are capitalist governments
you cannot successfully prevent wars.
The public miml in Kurope was edu
cated to believe in nationalism and of
course all of them were fighting in
self-defense. That's what all the wars
of the future will be "naif-defense."
Right now the pre is of this country is
trying to educate the ipojple Into mili
tary "pi i pared " bo that they will
fight in "defensh c wins. '
Yours for Socialism,
BONNER lIAI.TI.KTT.
