What's the Matter With the Band.

When the Helena band went to Qreat

Palls to play at the fair they took with

them as their ''mascot" a colored fel­

low, who takes ear* of their instruments

and makes himse|t generally useful.

This man was unable to obtain anything

to eat in the windy eity on the Mis­

souri. A t the firat restaurant, whan he

was told he could not be fed, the mem­

ber of the band who was with him got

up and left the place also. The colored

man went to six plaeea, but could obtain

no dinner. Thia ia the way the republi­

can party treats the colored people in

Great Falls, but in Helena the colored

king of the tenderloin is invited to the

front seat in the republican convention.

The band should have had enough dig

nity and sense of self-respect as to what

was due a fellow creature to have re­

fused to play at the fair until their man

was properly fed. The colored people of

Montana should sit up and take notice.

This is the way the 0. O. P. protects

them after slathering all over them to

get their votes. There is but one chance

for the colored race in America. They

can never hope to rise int.• the capitalist

class because the competition among

workingmen themselves for the jobs

keeps them in the lowest kind of menial

service. The only chance for a natural

life, opportunity, and just equality is

under a system where one man cannot

appropriate the product of another—

namely, socialism.

The workingmen of Alaska have done honor to themselves by electing a num­ber of working clans delegates to con gress. The unions ran them on indc pendent tickets and they were elected by lurge majorities

WOMAN VOTE IN AUSTRALIA I am convinced that the dnspicuou-

purity of politics in New Zealand, aa In

Australia, ia <lue very largely to the

participation of women and the superior

dignity and restraint that mark political

discus-*•••!> in both countries is due, in

my judgment, solely to the same in­

fluence. Political campaigning in New

Zealand us* d to I e exceedingly rough anil

rowdy. It is now more intellectual and

decent than anything we know. A

New Zealand politician said to me: ' You

tee .on liave to be very careful what

you say since the women have corns in

to vote. They will not stand fur any

rough tactics or abuac or extravagance

Tou muat Is* pretty sure of what you

say when they are in the meeting." The

practical e\|ierience of the women of

New Zealand utterly destroys all the ar­

guments ngain-t woman s iffrane that I

have ever heard. The per c ent of women

that vote is nearly as large as the prr-

eentage of men, and no disastaer haa be­

fallen the New Zealand home in conse­

quence. The New Zealand homes are

just as good ss any other homes, just as

home-like and with just as good oookin:;

and house-cleaning and msbl-mlndlng

and all the rest of it. I know. Iiec.iuse

I have specially investigated this sort of

thing. The New Zealand women are just

as womanly as any other woman in the

world, just aa gentle, r lined and grac­

ious. To go about in one of the truly

democratic countries and come home t«

contemplate the fact that in the I nite I

Stites we still cling to the mediaeval-

i-m of the political inferiority of women

is calculated to give one great weariness.

We are slower than divine wrath. I have

photographs that I took of women enter­

ing the polling place in Sidney. Ni?e

women, good women, as there are in the

world: and they SM not contaminated,

nor degraded, nor conspicuous nor a n /

other of the dreadful things that are said

of women at the polls. If we could man­

ifest a little animation about the antique-

injustice that we still do to woman per

haps we should in time get tiied of hein j

robbed and ruled by pirates, thieves,

bosse-. boodlers, millionaires, swindler-),

poisoners, pickpockets, railroad senators

and others criminals. Tint so long w

» c keep out of the siitTrage I don't know

but we get about what we deserve.

Hilquitt's District New York, Oct. 8 The socialist party 1

announced last night that it would prob­

ably elect one of its representatives, '

Morris llill<|iiit. to congress from the

Ninth congressional district on the lower |

East Side.

One of the chief causes for the hope of llillquit's supporters is the Russian revolution. The district embraces a large part of the Hussian-Jewish East Side. There are thousands of families that have lost relatives in the revolution, and the scores of socialist orators are making that one of their strong points and pic­turing Hillquit as the man who will look out for the interests of the .Teds.

A house to house canvass is being con­ducted for Hillquit, and many women have taken up his cause and are work ing for his election. A daily paper in Yiddish will be published the last ten days of the campaign and circulated among the Jews outlining the socialist doctrines.

Hillquit, If successful, will be the first man ever elected to the American house

of representatives on the socialist

ticket. The candidate is a Russian. He was

bom and educated in Riga, and waa ad­mitted to the bnr in 1893. six years after he cams to this country. A Great Falls Minister end Socialism.

Comrade Goodman, one of the IVnn sylvania organizers, waa arrested for street speaking st lancaater. Aug. 22. A solid mass of 2,000 people followed him to the station houss, and six applications for the local were taken on the spot. Public sentiment even in the daily pa­pers is against the officers

SHOW YOUR B A N N E R .

The socialist a of Butte have challenged T. J . Walsh, democratic candidate for congress, to meet II. I* Maury, socialist candidate for supreme court, in debate. T. J . Walsh claims to represent the best interests of the working class. Roth men are practitioners at the bar. Maury has defeated Walsh in some four or five cases in court, and consequently the candi­date for democratic honors cannot claim that he is a foeman unworthy of his steel. Now. it Mr. Walsh thinks he is not representing the capitalist class, but the people, let him come before the elec­tors and make good.

National Organizer J . M . Cnldwell re­ports a good meeting and the revolu­tionary spirit strong at Sturgis. Kv where the miners have been on strike against insufferable conditions, for more than a year. The miners are being fed by n commissary store maintained by the national union.

The operations of the bosses are con­fined principally to managing a search­light, bossing an army of guards, keeping gatling guns in working order, and training their large kennel of blood­hounds.

It is said that the Mine Owners' As­sociation is preparing to throw 11.000, 000 into the campaign to defeat Hay­wood for the governorship of Colorado. Prominent republican politicians say Haywood must Ins defeated at any cost. They fear a sudden stsmpede to the so­cialist candidate. The prosecution of Moyer and Haywood Is fast losing ground, and now the signs point that those who are prosecuting these men may themselves soon be behind the bars.

Steve Adams On Trial

Montana News Special Correspondent Reports McPartland's Murder­

ous Schemes After a preliminary hearing before

Probate Judge. Roomer Steve Adams i« bound over to the district court, which meets Oct. 15. When I arrived in Wal­lace. Idaho, Sept. 26, the city was full of detectives, headed by the njtoiioui Jamss McPartland. alias Jim McKenni, of the l*inkerton-Mollie Maguir I fame, who is now trying to railroad llaywcod, Mover and Pettibone, officials of the Western Federation of Miners, to the gallows. Steve Adams, who was ar­rested shortly after Harry Orchard's al­leged confession charging the miners' of­ficials with being implicated in the mur­der of ex-fiovernor Steunenburg, is now charged with the murder of an alleged claim jumper named Fred Tyler.

McPartland's Sleuthing.

Adams had been relied upon by Mc­Partland and Governor Gooding to cor­roborate Orchard's confession, or the main part of it, and was being held in jail (with his wife, Mrs. Adams, being kept in the woman's ward for that pur pose.)

Adams denies that there was or is any truth in what McPartland and Good­ing say he swore to, and says that the statements aliout his knowledge of the guilt of the officers of the miners was written up by McPartland or Gooding or both; and he was compelled to swear to them by threats of Governor Good Ing. who stated that if the people of Colorado got hold of him he would b« mobbed and killed. All of this Adams has given out through signed documents, witnessed to by Mrs. Adams, his wife, and handed to J . W . Lillard, Adams* uncle, a sick ranchman In Washington, and is now in the hands of Mover, Hay­wood and Pettibone's attorneys. On ap plication Adams was immediately re­leased on a writ of habeas corpus, but was at once arrested for the murder of Fred Tyler.

Restrict Defense. 'ITiere is a move on the part of Good­

ing and McPartland. the capitalist tools, to keep Adams from being used in the defense, but it is very doubtful whether the game will work. It is stated by those w ho were present when the alleged body of Tyler was found that Coroner D. C. Keys stated that he was undoubt­edly a claim jumper, and had been shot by a vigilance committee, and that they did a good job. The coroner awore to the following on the stand: That there was only one shoe found with the body, and it was eaten by wood rats into holes; that Tyler had a little finger with a lump on it; that the little finger was not with the skeleton. When brought into court the shoes produced with the skeleton were half worn, and there is a pair of them.

Conflicting Statements. Another witness state d that Tyler

wore tan shoes; another stated that he wore hob-nailed shoes. They cannot pos tibly all be right The facta they have not proved, that Tyler was shot, or that these are his bones where the skeleton was. There were a lot of jokes cracked by the attorneys, and Adams and his wife seemed to enjoy it. The only evl deuce the dirty Pinkertons have is a confession, as usual. A Pinkerton named Theile stated that Adams eon

fessed to killing Tyler. This confession was made in a buggy, when on their way to hunt up some supposed grave in Colo­rado, which they never found because there was none. But strange to say, the confession was not heard by any one but Thiele. although a private detective was in the buggy with them. His name is Eugene Johnson. This Pinkerton named Thiele admitted on the Btand that he joined the Butte local of the Mil l and Smelt ermens' Union in 1904.

McPartland Does Not Appear. McPartland never appeared in court,

but was undoubtedly coaching the wit­nesses for the state, ss Darrow made Perry Hughes, a merchant, admit on the stand that he had been in a conference where McPartland wsa, but did not re member whether he said anything or not. Harrow made the statement that he did not believe a jury could be found now that would convict Adams. It was all trumped up with a lot of detectives, who nre hired murderers and thieves, and it can be proved all through.

Socialists Site Up Pinks. While the hearing was going on it gave

the "is11 a lists a good chance to size up the Pinks. I ate breakfast right oppo site McPartland. He wears gold-rimmed glas-es, has little eyes set back like an overfed Rerkshire hog. sandy tnusta'1*" turning white, heavy fat under jaw-twisted from left to right under the mouth. Put a straight edge aeress the top of hi- eyes, the top lolies of his ears would he below the center line, which, according to specialists and scientists, is a sure indication of a low murderer. In lilting anything from the table, a spoon, knife or fork, he lifts it with a nervous jerk. He can't look you in the face, waddc-s when he walks, carries a heavy cane. When he sips his coffee he • ticks it up so that you can hear it all over the room. He tries to get a table In himself, and has two detectives with him at other tables and close around him night and day. He left Wallace in a private car owned by a mine owner. At least, I heard him and his pals get the

j invitation to ride in a private car that | was attached to the train. Sheriff Sutherland Appointee of Mine

Owners.

Sheriff Sutherland, who made such a gallant drive with Adams over the coun­try, in defiance of law and constitution, was appointed during bull pen days by the mine owners, when the legally elect­ed sheriff was thrown into the bull pen. The miners have never mustered courage to put him out since—but things are changing fast. Comrade Goel>cl roasted the sheriff for his actions on the 27th of September. On the 28th the pol'-v! came up and tried to stop me. He said they were not going to have their officin's abused. I told him I we.uld not befoul my mouth by mentioning their namc-lle gnve nie five minutes to close up, but we did not. and he never came back. I had a larger crowd on the 29th. but no police. Thcv turned the lights out, bin I am up to that dodge so had the com rades secure n torch. Se we had light, ami lots of heat as well. The comrades are moving along and the Coeur d'Alenr will show up this election as it has never none before. ISAAC C O W A N .

COLORADO-IDAHO OUTRAGE Collisr's Weekly for Sept. 29th in the

first column on the first page says:

"Intensity of feeling is being main

tained if not increased as the trial of

Moyer and Haywood draws near." Nothing could lie more natural, con

sidering what is at stake. If the pris oners are condemned then no working man's neck is safe that does not submit meekly to the capitalist's yoke.

If the "anarchy' 'of Governors Good ing and McDonald and the mine owners is condemned, capitalistic methods will suffer a rebuke far from pleasing to the lords of industrv. Collier's criticir.es the

speech of Clarence Harrow before the. working men of Spokane. What TWrow said was true. However. 1 would change the wording to read: "If the laboring man knew anything" he wouldn't he voting the capitalist ticket, but M a l i elect men from his own ranks, who. being class conscious, would pass laws favoring labor just ths same as the class consnou-cnpitalist favors his class. The worker would then be in position to decide leg ally whether the coal liclonged to "Raer" or to "us." and also whether we would have to pay for it or not in order to get control of It.

Economic Principles and War. The principle of economic de!bermin-

ism as a controlling factor in the w i n of the world is being so palpably exempli-l«ed in the occupation of Cuba by ths United States government that a so­cialist explanation of the affair is almost a superfluity. When the Cuban maleo*. tents began to give evidence of ^ pro­tracted struggle, the American capital ists became alarmed for their vast sugar and tobacco crops, for which they orig­inally wrested Cuba from Opain. Men were fighting instead of harvesting crops for the capitalists. Products are de­stroyed in the turmoil of war. These rich products must be saved for ths capitalists. They appeal to their crea­ture, the government. Its minions move at the bidding of those who have plaved them, and a war is declared that the cap­italist crops may be harvested in Cuba For this godly purpose all intervening governments are set aside, warships get into operation, troops are moved, lives are given and murder is done that the capitalist crops may be harvested. Eco­nomic determinism? Yes, economic In­terests determine how the capitalists will act when those interests are menaced.

THE GREAT IDEAL BY ZOLA Hy Kmil Zola, the greatest writer of

Modern France.

"What a great and healthv society will it be, when e\cry member shall con­tribute hi- logi-al saate of work! No more money, and. accordingly, no more speculation, no more theft, no more dis­honorable dealings, no more crimes, in cited by the cravings for wealth. Xo young girls will be married for their dowry, nor old relatives assassinated for their heritage; no pa»«e i -h \ will as mur­dered for their purse. Xo more ho . t i l» classes of cinploMTs and employed, of proletarian and bourgeois, and. accord ingly, no more laws and coiuts and armed forces to guard the unjust accum­ulations of one class against the hunger of the other. Xo more idlers of any kinds, and therefore no more projierty owner, noiiriished by their rent; no more people living idly on their income grant ed by chance; in one word, no more lux­ury and no more misery! Thanks to the many new hands employed in labor, thanks above all to the machines, we will not work nunc than four, perhaps three hours a day, and oh! how much time there will be for enjoying life! For it will not lie a barracK. but a city full of fieedoin and gaictv. where everv one re

•ales free to choose his pleisiires. with enough time to satisfy his just desires, MM i"V of loving, of being strong, being beautiful, being intelligent, of taking his share from inexaustihle nature!

"Then it will be a man in a higher tyjie of development, rcjoic ing in the ful­fillment of his natural wants, who will 1 ive liecome the real master. Ths -cooolg and workshops are open. Every child cho< ses its profes-ion according to its inclination. A - the ve-ur- pass by, careful selection is made by rigorous ex­aminations. It nolonger sutlers to lie able to pay for wiur instruction; it is nee—ary to profit thereby. Thus every one will find himself l.alteel ami put to u-e' at the just elegre'e of his ability, as

ONLY W A I T I N G .

By A. M . Stlrton.

I am waiting, only waiting, t i l l the (lunger's past and gone,

I've my eye upon your movement, and I ' l l join you later on.

Hut to lose my vote at present, it would surely be ,* sin,

So I'll vote for Socialism when 1 see you're sure to win.

1 believe in Socialism—every word the brotherhood of man;

And that industry should operate on a more enlightened plan,

1 hut would give to each his product— that would make each worker free.

And when once you're sure of winning you cau also count on me.

1 belieev in Socialism every word you aay is true.

Men of common sense admit it- -there * nothing else to do.

But. although your party's growing, st i l l , for me, it's rather small.

Why not wait until it comes before voting it at allT

You should get a better element at once to take the stand.

You should seek the wealthy classei and get them to take a hand.

When they do, the men like 1 am will be also coming in,

As we do in every movement when we see it's sure to win.

Could you only get the bankers, a n l the lawyers with you, too,

Then I'd see a better prospect of your measures going through.

If it only were the fashion, and the proper thing to be,

Then I say, and say it boldly, you could surely count on me.

A H to principles, I'm with you, I myself have suffered wrong:

lo r a shameful, wretched pittau;* 1 have slaved and sorrowed long.

And if more of our best people would only just lead the way,

I could vote with you tomorrow for the coming better day.

But I'd rather be submissive; I would rather still endure,

Than in anything unusual, to seek the meaus of cure.

For the slightest unconventional, I could never dare to be.

Hut when once you're sure of winning you can also count on me.

Yes. I know it's wrong and wicked. that the child in mine and mill,

Should be chained in cruel slavery, coffers of the rich to All.

And 1 know it could be altered far and wide throughout the land,

And when once it is accomplished I am with you heart and hand.

Yes, I know that every evil that detiles our land today,

Comes directly from the system that enfolds us in its sway.

And w hen once it is abolished, and the better day draws nigh;

When the conflict once is ended, 1 am with you t i l l 1 die.

But. t i l l then, 1'U vote against it. though 1 know your causa is right.

I M I 1 never yet have taken sides in any losing fight,

And I'm thoroughly persuaded, that on each election day,

Only he whose ticket carries, but has thrown his vote away.

iSo I'm waiting, only waiting t i l l the danger's past and gone—

Only waiting t i l l the movement is a little larger grown,

Then I'm coming to the rescue at the dawning of the day,

And I ' l l shout for Socialism when the mists have cleared away.

Buckeye Stat* Socia'ist.

Socialism means the substitution of social ownership and co operation for the system of production under private ownership that obtains now. The whole movements of society, from primitive as-sociation upward, has been towards a more extended co-operation. There can be but one final result- the most com­plete co-operation possible. This will be socialism. The reason the "upper class" of society oppose it so bitterly is because they are the private owners, receiving the chief benefits of the sys­tem, and are in a position to force many to toil for them. They naturally are keen in the protection of their Inter­ests. But they will be forced to yield to the oncoming tide of the great ma­jority of producers. Besides, private ownership is falling to pieces because of its own Inherent weaknesses, which are seen in the dreadful social conditions around us. Rtudenta of historic social conditions understand what these changes prognosticate. We are in the midst of a great transition period to a higher civilisation, when private power over others will be no mora

National News The noon-day factory meetings of the

Social-Democrats opened this week, r i f tesu hundred men were addressed at the Harvester Works on Monday, 900 men at the Power Mining Go. works on Tuesday, and 0OO men at the Ai l i a works on Wednesday. Five thosuand leaflets for workingmen and Social-Democratic platforms were distributed and gladly received. None were thrown on the grouud. The audiences were all exceed­ingly attentive.

The Social-Democratic candidates, in order to conform with the provisions of the new primary election law, were obliged to go to Madison last Tuesday and "frame'' a stale platform. As the Social-Democratic platform was framed at our state convention and adopted by eferendum vale two months ago, the

M i i u - m l adoption of the platform by our candidates was, of course, only a legal formality. Comrade Victor L . Berger was elected chairman of the Social Dem ocralic state committee.

An active socialist campaign was open eil at Des Moines, la., by two addresses l>v Harry McK.ee of Colorado, the lirst uelore the miners of Marquuville, the second in Des Moines the following Sun­day, Sept. 23. A large and attentive audience was in attendance.

Comrade .los. Fager, who iss working his way through college, was arrested last week for tacking the advertisement ol the Sunday meeting on telegraph and street car poles. The Local Des Moines voted to stand behind Mr. Fager, whose trial was set for Oct. tlth.

While holding a street meeting in Omaha September 20th, Arthur Morrow Lewis discovered Q W. Post, Battle Creek, Mich., in his audience, and he was given twenty-five minute* to refute the splendid argument which had been advanced by tomrade Lewis. A i l Mr. Post was able to do was to ridicule. When his twenty-live minutes was up he de­clined to give up the soap box and held his ground amid the hisses of the crowd until he could uo longer stand it. Com rade Lewis then spoke to the crowd, and after that held a series of meatinga in the same place.

Here is another example of what one Social-Democrat on a committee can do. John I. lieggs, the boss of the Milwaukee electric lighting plant, has been receiving *S1 and *!Ht lor each electric light, ac­cording to an old contract. This contract now having expired, the Milwaukee city council committee on street lights want­ed to cut the price down to $78 per light. Aid. Melms, the only Social-Democrat on the committee, made a tight for a $70 rate. This John I. Beggs refused to ac cept. Now under the pressure ot public opinion the council committee demands a $70 rate, but Comrade Melius, seizing the opportunity, is now righting for a $MI rat<a. The consequence will be .that John I. Beggs will be compelled to take the esse into court, much against his wil l , as he will then be obliged to open up his accounts and disclose his profits.

The <luy following the heroic entry of Sheriff Sutherland and Steve Adams into Wallace, Idaho, National Organizer tieo. H. Ooebel arrived there. He found everything quiet notwithstanding the fact that press dispatches dated at that place were sent all over the country say­ing the town was in a turmoil of ex­citement and bloodshed, and riot was feared. Comrade Ooebel exploited this deceit, and the first night challenged any defender of McPartland and Gooding to a debate the following evening. As was the case with Comrade Hazlett recently, the next night found the city in darkness the electric current was not turned on for the street lights, but there was some ex­citement, it was to hear Comrade Qoebel. 'Hie scheme of the opposition was frus­trated, in that he spoke to the largest meeting ever assembled in Wallace.

Another example of the strong influ­ence of the Socialists, even while they are in the minority. The republican party, controlled by the stalwart or anti-reform wing, has nevertheless been obliged to issue a radical state platform, which is a sort of caricatured imitation of the Social-Democratic platform. This republican platform contains a public ownership plank, a plank for abolishing the "contributory negligence" principle in accidents to railway workmen (imi­tating the Social-Democratic plank de­manding the abolition of this principle for all injured workmen), and other semi-socialistic measures. Of course, nobody expects the republicans to enforce these demands. The reason the Social-Demo­crats are chuckling, is because this is a proof that the bait with which the old parties today are obliged to catch voters is socialistic bait. This means that the people are slowly getting educated.

Socialists in Genera. Seizing the opportunity at the Interna

tionai Congress of EaperantisW recently held in Geneva, about twenty soefalitt* assembled iu the "Carole Communist*" to diseuss means for establishing a more vital union between socialist* of a i l na tiona. Representatives were present from England, Prance, Germany, Russia, Aus­tria, Switzerland, and Poland, Vincent Kichard uuiong others, lepresenting the French socialist party, i t was unanim cusly agreed that a monthly interuatiou al socialist review should be pubzishei as soon as possible.

The Storthing election took p i i x in August, but on account of Ihe new elec­tion law . the returns in ihe most pi ices

have nliowu ligures that make second e'ection necessary, which lake* place du.ing I is m o u t h . The election re-iuus so is - show a great increase in the so ciahst ' ole. The conservatives are a l i ' i i-ed and are preparing to fuse with the radicals tor the next election to be better able to keep Hie socialists out of office.

there are seven socialist candidates and tour candidates for the democratic labor party elected already and there arc good chances that several more will be returned at the secondary elections. In the last storthing there were four socialists.

In Prauce the socialist* will hold then annual conference at Limoges, from the 1st to the 4th of November. Among th* subjects to come before the meeting will be the relations between socialism an I the Hade unions, proportional represen­tation, female suffrage, the ami-military propaganda, and an international social ist war upon war. I ndoubtcdly the pro ceeding* w i l l be most interesting, and the reports to be read show over 52,000 pro­fessed socialists in the different societies scattred through the land. Of late the workmen have been more and more as setting their power over the Channel, and the strike of weavers near Lille has just ended iu a big victory for the men.

B y Dr. L . B . Holme*. Continued from last w**k.i

M ANN11K1M. Sept. 23.—The annual congress of the Social-Democratic party opened tonight. Several important questions arc to come up for considera­tion, including the relations between socialists and trade unions. It is also hoped to reach a detinite decision on the question of a general strike, concerning which there is a wide difference of opin-ion in the ranks of the party.

Previous to the congress a woman's conference was held, at which all the notable women agitators of Germany and many Irom abroad took part. Mine. Ital.ibunotf, u Russian, was cheered when she said the party iu her country in its bloody war against the autocracy was setting (ierman socialists practical as well as theoretical examples. Frau Zed-kin of (ieriiiany said the socialists of the world were bound together to fight would mean ictory for allvvvvvvvvvhta the one fight of al l , and that victory for one would mean victory for all . So­cialists in Kussia, she declared, counted on both moral and financial support from socialists abroad.

Michael Ootz, of the Russian revolu­tionists ami one of the most valued members of the central committee, has just died after an operation in Berlin, nnd was buried in Geneva, The funeral was attended by 3,000 people and 250 wreaths from all parts of Europe were placed on the grave. Comrade Tchay-kovsky, from England, and numerous other representatives of the interna­tional movement, were present. He snd his wife were among the pol i t ical pris­oners in the Oayoutzk massacre of 1889. He made a vigorous campaign in Italy against the forces of the czar a few years ago. The excitement of the cam­paign produced an incurable illness, but his mind was clear and active to the last, and lie never ceased working for the cause.

Among the recent exiles to Siberia are l>eo Deutsch, who has already spent 18 years of his life there, and Dr. Porvus, who lived for many years a fugitive in Germany. Dr. Porvus has been exceed­ingly active In both the German snd Russian revolutionary movement- , snd has been expelled by a number of the (ierman states.

How 1 was oared tor then, I don't remember exactly; 1 think 1 played iu the dirt all day and cared mostly for myself. Later I know i went to school, worked on the farm and split wood and other thing*. This is planted in my memory indelibly by suu-<iiy wcl merited cull* snd kicks.

My father's farm is near the city of D , in a western state. 1 was an only child. The little country school-house where 1 reiceved my earliest edu­cation is about one-quarter of a mil* f ioin our farm. My father was one of ll>e school trustees. 1 ofleu heard him talking with the neighbors and othei tiu-iecs about the school and the teacn M b Once 1 heard one of the trustees nieulion "Mary" (familiarly) a* "the besl they ever had ' -a Miss Johnston, who taught some years before; and 1 listened, and was conscious that my father looked at me furtively. Either that or something else fixed the name in my mind. 1 heard them speak of her once a* "that beautiful little lady." And from that time 1 thought, whenexer a teacher was mentioned, of "that beau titul little lady, Miss Mary Johnston." i think 1 began to love her and dream of hei. 1 once expressed s wish that I bsd gone to school when Miss Johnston taught, ami some one said, "You were only a baby then."

One spring when 1 was about fifteen years old I went fishing down the creek a tew miles from home; as 1 passed a larmhouse on uiy way back, an old lad) called me ill to inquire after th* folks she said 1 was a fine, large boy for my age. and tried to pet me, and was anxious for M to stop and rest, as she was alone, and have supper with her. 1 declined, tor I was in a hurry to get home. I- mall v she said: "Do you know that Mr. and Mrs. Stapleton are not your real father and mother?"

At first I was angry and said: "Yes, they are!" And 1 felt like crying, for 1 thought she was insulting me or my par ents. S t i l l . I was old enough to think, ami I said: "How do >ou know?"

ihen she told me that 1 needn't say anything about it, but that about fifteen years ago there was a little school ma'am lived with my folks by the name of Mary Johnston, a beautiful young wom­an, and that when she left them she left it little boy there and 1 was that }n>\; that Mr. and Mrs. Stapleton adopted me. So I had two fathers aud twv mothers. Aud she laughed at what she thought was witty.

I lieu I began to think of this thing: many little sly remarks, 1 had heard, and especially my middle name re-cured to my mind and seemed to confirm her story. For a week 1 cried all night about it. and lost my appetite, and the folks thought I was ill . Then on* day i made up my mind 1 would tell my father all about it aud ask him if it «a true. Then he told me. "Since I had heard it from others," he said, "1 had better know all about it." He said 1 was the son of a lady who once lived with them and taught our school. A doctor from the city had brought here there to be w ith his wife while sick. He did not mention the doctor's name, and I was too midest to ask, even if 1 thought of that then. He said they had adopted •oe as their own. and he hoped I was satisfied with the care they had taken of me w hich, he added, was not so gooj, perhaps, as it might have been had his wife lived. I said I was sure they hsd loved me as their own. Then the sub ject was dropped between us. But I could not drop it from my mind. I thought always of "that beautiful little lady teacher, Miss Msry Johnston," snd I felt that I must find her if she still lived. A great fear haunted me that she might be suffering and in want.

My father told me that he had em­ployed Miss Johnston my mother -as a teacher In their school soon after she re­covered from her illness, and that she boarded with them and nursed me for about six months; then left, and he hal not seen or heard of her since.

A few years after this I saw again the old lady who first fold me of my real parentage, or, at least, of half of it -and I never had any inclination, strange to say, to know anything of the other half; if there were any other half, which 1

It breaks our hearts here at the office to see the urgent appeals for speakers where vve are helpless to supply them. Cm Urn county especially is making every effort to get help.

Comrade Wiaxlruff writes from Butte: "Individual socialists are not much in

evidence on street and in the marts of skurrying here to a stranger like my­self. But a sense of something wrong-almost unbearably wrongs-seams almost universal in the nether stratas.

Powers writes of a unique and some­what unfortunate situation in Billings. He says most of the members that came in in June and July are dropping out, falling behind with their dues, etc. He says they don't seem to understand why they should pay money to belong to the party, and most of them want to think any old way in regard to socialism. He thinks those that come in slowly make the best timber for the party. The com­rade is right. Steady and well-grounded education must accompany the access of new material, or there is no develop­ment of the true purpose of socialist or­ganization.

Comrade I^evengood, socialist candi­date for sheriff of Silver Bow county, writes as follows:

Comrade Oriffith of Canyon Ferry sends in one dollar for the state cam paign fund. He is complaining of an archists. •

"Do you know of any effective means of inducing anarchists in public office to comply with the law and enforce i t as far aa their official obligations require that they should? Frank Topeky and I have failed to receive the News for three weeks, which, as I take it, signifies that the postoffice department is taking a hand in the state campaign; and that this condition is general all over the state. Of course, if old party officials were law abiding and order-loving when i r office, as they pretend to be when on the stump and wanting a few votes, it would be easy enough to have them cor rect these irregularities; but the fact of the matter is that the percentage of an archists among old party offlceholdars is so high that one cannot hope to ac complish much in trying to persuade them to respect the law. There la no doubt but that the postoffice department bsuhw hacker who is operating in this section of Montana ought to lie located."

C o m r a d e Comerford writes from 11.000 feet above sea level, Sept 27 11)0(1:

"The alsive heading will show where I am at present. 1 had to walk nine miles and ride 18 miles to attend the conven lion. We held our convention at Norris It was a good one, considering that it was the first one ever held in Madison county. Some of the candidates on ths old party tickets were in town and would not lielicve that we could get enough to gether to hold a convention. But we fooled them and had a most stirring time It haa set the old parties to thinking, and devising ways and means to stop the rising tide of socialism that threat ens to overwhelm them in this old, con servstive county of Madison. Enclosed you wil l find $5 for the day's wage, $3 for a Look of stamps, and $1 for a sub.

As far as the wage fund is concerned von may expect more in the near future, when I can get to see all the boys. I heartily approve of the position the News takes tha t a fund should be pro vided to aid the Secretary to carry on an aggressive campaign, If you can get ths

Comrade Mabie has come in from his Park trip, where he has been as cook for an outfit of capitalists. He don't like

hem. Like Jack l>ondon, he says he likes the working class best. Ha saya they can beat be described by the word •bourgeois." "Their ideals are different from mine. I can't enjoy the society of his class any more, no matter how oily they are. I am at home only with

the workers." He says: "I have put in a whole day looking over the papers which have accumulated since I left, and, of course, the News came first. I am more than pleased to find that things are running so well after my month's ab­sence in the mountains clear out of touch with the movement."

'Beats all how things do move with­out me. Just like a capitalist coming >ack from a trip to F.nrope to find the

factory and railroad running just the same as when he left and the dividends waiting for him.

The style and the tone of the News is splendid, but you will pardon a little criticism. Cut ou the color line. Speak­ing from a socialist standpoint I can't see that a black pimp is any worse than a white pimp perhaps considering their opportunities the white one is the worst, and when we use the word "nigger" to emphasize his meanness it seems to me we show a i-ertain contempt for the black man."

Comrade Mabie's criticism is well placed. It may be that an explanation will not lie amiss as to how the article in queatioii came to be in the editorial column. It was written by a comrade thoroughly disgusted with the way the Helena repuldican primaries were run. The editor being out half the week and the forthcoming of copy for the printer being compulsory, whatever was avail­able had to lie shoved in another ex­ample of being up against a proposition which it is absolutely impossible tc handle. The socialist movement stands on the only basis that does not draw a color line. Immoral operators of poli­tics for nice "moral" people to follow are the limit of beastly class rule, no matter what color, nationality, sex or reed they are.

W«- have the following letter from A N. Brooks of Trout Creek. Sanders coun ty :

'Yours dated Sept. la, postnarke4 Helena Sept. 3d. Bozeman Sept. 4th. and Trout Creek Sept. 5th, came to hand la.it l ight .

'I tried to impress upon you in my Vast thst we needed at least s we.'k or ten dins' notice of the arrival of- a speaker here, so as to get the irecting advertised As it is now, all Comrade Cowan . ui do is to work a li t J 3 among the people in town, but our best 'metal' i * in the country. Wa ware very anxious to u - t this thing off on the itjpM foot.' I "This short notice has csught me so tied that I don't think I wil l be able to

even attend the meetings. "With the King meeting and the Has-

lett meeting both Assies, and the pros­pect of a third of the same kind, we cannot hut feel the best thing to do is tu puss Sanders county up for this year.

"I'eiliaps we were over-anxious, as wa can see the opportunity for a big <vork and 1 shouid have been holding west­ings myself, but thought best to hold s t i l l t i l l we eould give It a good bag shove and than keep it on the go. To say 1 am sorry for these surrounding circumstances is putting it very mild in­deed. "

'This letter shows a total misapprehen­sion of the < i.millions under which the work of the state organisation ia car­ried on. In the first place, Sanders coun­ty is so far out of the way that no speaker can la* sent out there especially without a heavy expense. Then, with the condition in which the Montana work is in , it has been impossible to bi l l the gyaahgM ten dava ahead. . Montana haa done almost no star-routing. She brings in workers who stay and do the work as it is needed, and i t is difficult to tell how long the locality may require them. Mrs. Hazlett was obliged to cut the point out on a hurry up call of the work in the News office—another case of one person trying to do two or three things at once. We are up against impossibili­ties in this office, and are obliged to ac­cept tht situation aa it is. If the San­ders county sia-ialists had had more ex-| erience in the movement they would not have let everything depend on the state organization. 'They would have planned t i make a county canvass and would have given ample time to the State Sec­retary, and would have asked if they could have a speaker at such a time for so long, the chances are the speaker would have lieen forthcoming. We don't have things made to order in the Social­ist party as they do in the capitalist parties. Sanders is only one of hun­dreds of places throughout the country that are clamoring for socialist educa­tion, and there is none available. Besides the Montana paity is working absolutely without a campaign fund. If it had $400 in it would make a go>si many things possible. We have been aware from the start of the |>ossibilities of Sanders county, but we were helpless.

Iaaae Cowan's Report.

Sept. 30. Not getting letter In time from the State Secretary with instruc­tions, I wired him for first step after leaving Idaho. When I got the answer arrangements had been made for a meet­ing at Burke, and It waa impossible for me to get out and get on the train east on Monday. So I advised with Comrade Stachs and decided to talk in Mullen Mondaj night, as I could reach there by stage from Wallace, then pull out east Tuesday. This has dislocated my ap­pointments. Meeting was small at iiurke. It had not been advertised, but things are looming up in our favor. Op-|M>sition is dying out, and it ia a com­mon occurrence to hear democrats try­ing to persuade republicans that so­cialism and socialists are right, and re­publicans taking the same stand with democrats. Cash. $5.40; books, 45 cents.

Oct. 1, Mullen, Ida.—No meeting, weather cold and advertising matter had not traveled six miles since Sept. 29. Pretty slow work. t

Octo. 2. Isthrop, Mont.- Hustled around, posted up bills, visited the mills. Had about 10 people to the meeting in front of the hotel, but all are afraid to have their names enrolled as socialists, and none of them would agree to hand bills around to advertise a meeting in the future. These are Senator Clark's laves. Books, 15 cents.

Oct. 3, Missoula -No meeting, bsd vvtsther -t«M) cold for outside work.

Oct. 4th. Missoula—Small street meet­ing, weather cold. Now we have beat the enemy on the light question, they bolt band concerts on the street corners so as to attract the crowd. There are an aw­ful lot of people who don't seem to res! ire that the Demi are hollow. A l l the argument the old timers have left is noise or a dog fight. Joseph Dixon was ouspicuous by his absence. He voted

for $25,000 extra per year for the presi lent and dodged the eight-hour law amendment which sets aside the law -it 181*2 and 1H06. He heard his msstar's voice and obeyed the call. A dandy workingman's friend he is; a biffing, blustering, bulldozing, dodging, coward y Dixon. Workingmen, think this over on election day. Cash, $1; books, 40 cents

5th. Orchsnl Houis, ten miles from Missuula -Hail two women, two gir's, six men and eight hoys for an audience iu a little abandoned hall. We had to make seats as best wa could. A more interested little audience I never talked to. It was the first socialist meeting ever held there but wi l l not be the last if those present can have their way. Books, 75 cents.

When comrades are visiting Missoula they will find gotst, comfortable rooms over the postoffice, and a good place to eat at the I. X. I* saloon. The eating part is separate from the saloon and is run bya comrade.

0th. Butte Waa met by Comrades Foster mid l>evingood at the depot, who had made all arrangements for room and board. We had a aplendid meeting cor­ner Broadway and Main streets. Flue, attentive crowd. Opened the campaign. Comrade Foster acting as chairman. Comrade 1/evingood using his axpreui wagon for platform, with big painted banners on each side, "Socialist meeting tonight at 7:30 p. m." Weather per­mitting we will follow this up all over the city this week. Rooks sold, fl.SS.

Wash ing ton Notes.

Comradee: The authorities in Seat tie are arresting the socialist speaker, whenever they attempt to address a street audience. These arrests are in open vio lat ion of the letter and spirit of the constitution, and they do violence to all the better traditions of this nation. Go to your friends and neighbora with the atory of the usurpationa of the mas­ters of today, for the police of Seattle are but obeying the mandates of their masters.

Remember that we are making history today. The story of police outrages and police tyrannies in Seattle may rank in history with the story of Boston Com­mons.

Capitalist outragea in Colorado and in Idaho are of far more interest to the working clasa of today than the firing on Fort Sumpter. It is for us who real­ize the significance of these events to utilize them in arousing the stupid and the apathetic.

It is your duty to tell the story to all working people whom you meet.

There may be a call for volunteers to go to Seattle and speak on the streets, and. when arrested, to go to jail and there remain until released on the in­itiative of the authorities.

How many of you will respond to such call? Some of us must work our way into the socialist republic if we are ever to see it established. Fraternally,

D. B U R G E S S .

The famous Valley of the Nile never ppoduced finer grain than* is grown in Montana. The wonderfully productive fields of Iowa. Wisconsin and Minnesota never equalled it. With this s p l e n d i d

The country over report* show the socialist party to be moving steadily for­ward. In all the state elections held this year—In Oregon, Arkanaaa, Ver­mont and Maine—there have been dla-tinct, steady gaina, not of the landalide order that melt again aa the snow, but healthy, intelligent increases that will remain solid as a rule. In other states where elections ar* to be held there is greater activity being displayed from week to week. More meetings aer being held and arranged for and greater amounts of literature are being distrib utad than ever before.

The billboarda of Wisconsin have been covered with 1,000 eight sheet S O H H I Democratic posters, contrasting the rec­ord of the old partle* with the record made by our Rodal-Democratic alder testimony of even the capitalistic papers men and members of the legislature The to the "clean campaigns of the Social-Democratic party," and to the "adher-enee to principle of th* Social-Demo-erata. Is quoted on these posters.

The Denver Oom., eomrsd**, after about W> arraata for street *paaklag. hav* won th*lr fight with th* poll**.

Mothers to the Rescue.

In Allendale, N. J., the men for year* failed to vote money enough to providks good school accommodations and c m petent teachers. They aaid any parent* who were not aatiated could send thai* children to private schools. A t laat the local board of education, in despair, ap­pealed to the women, who in New Jer­sey hav* a vote on school appropria­tions. The other day the mother* « f Allendale turned out as one woman, ac­cording to the New York Tribune, and voted an appropriation large enough i a meet the needa of their children in th* schools. The same thing happened re cently in Madison, Wis., and a few years ago in Toronto, where women have tha full municipal vote, an independent can­didate for mayor carried the election, largely on that iaaue. When Theodora Roosevelt wsa governor of New York, be startled the conservatives by recom­mending woman suffrage in hia message to the legislature. On being aaked why, he said that hia home town of Oyetar Ray hnd long been in great need of • sehoolhouse, but was never able to a*T cure the needed appropriation till tha women got a vote. Then the mother* voted the new achoolhouse at once*. Mothers sll over the country heliava that the last place where any city might to economise is on the education of tha children.
