VAMJKKBILT AS A Hl\\ PIRATE.
Luiinoi) is all worked up over the
mistake of an illustrated paper
-which recently printed on its hack
page a large photograph of a man
in yachting dress and wearing a
naval cap. Underneath the photo
graph was the inscription: “Captain
Max Valentier”, while over it stood
the following:
“The Lusitania Pirate. Xo
murderer's face ever seen in the
dock was nioro typical than this.
Yet Germany hails it as a hero’s.
Captain Max Valentier is the Hun
pirate who torpedoed the Lusitania.
Ik- looks capable of so dastardly a
• ."save jt develops that the original
of ..the “Hun pirate" depicted was
Cornelius Vanderbilt. Shocking!
And Corny is really not half bad
looking, don't you know! But then
it should be remembered that out
own papers have been known to put!
the picture of a perfectly respectable
murderer over the name of an ordi
nary American citizen. Corny
shouldn't be peeved. He might
have an opportunity to sink a ship
himself some time.—Ex.
APPROPRIATE.
Sam Hill has established a Chaii
for the Russian language in the
Washington state University. A
good many captains of industrj
have devoted recent attention to the
popularizing of Russian institutions
in America. It is a sign of pro
gress.
I’OUTICAIi m:\vs.
It is a certainty that someone is ly
ing. Reports from one side say
that Sulzer and Grigsby will carry
everything, and reports from the
other say that Wickersham and
Schofield will win in a walk. It is
<iuile evident that the news dopest
ers will compound anything your
political system requires except tlie
truth about socialism. They alt
unite in tabooing that.
A MYTH.
A German writer points out that
the heroine of Whittier's beautiful
poem, Barbara Frichie, was a Ger
man-Ameriean. Unfortunately un
biassed critical investigation has al
most convincingly shown that the
whole story of the lady with the
“old grey head” is a myth, a very
poetical legend to be sure, but fic
tion.
MX AI.IKK.
In the last mail from London,
this paper received a pamphlet evid
ently issued by the British govern
ment, and entitled "The Murder of
Captain Fryatt”. One might have
more sympathy with the British po
sition In this matter if they had ac
companied this pamphlet with a
brochure of like dimensions upon
the “Murder of Editor Skeffington”
It is not in evidence that the pot is
any whiter than the kettle in this
foul war.
WRONG BY INFERENCE.
An article in a recent Sunday Call
by one Jungmeyer calls attention to
the Tact that every effort is being
made to discredit the construction
work and policy of the Government
Railroad in Alaska. And this paper,
which affects such a friendship lor
the workers in New York city, damns
by inference the efforts of Alaska
railroad workers to better their con
dition. The article says that the
workers are dissatisfied because
They g£t no soft snaps and b • -uise
the railroad engineers are toiisiruei
,:,g the road with economy and ef
•< < iency. These are fine terms for a
■.‘stem which drove thousands of
men to revolt against the hogwash
grn'r> and peonization pay might he
all right in New Yori; but is all
vrong in Alaska. The Call is woe
fully wrong and is simply aiding the
spread of wholly false Ideas as to
actual conditions in Anchorage. In
this connection a recent number ot
the Seattle Industrial "Worker has
an account by a wage worker and
not by a political socialist trying to
l
work the workers. The Seattle
Worker’s account gives a correct
and detailed statement of the facts
in connection with the construction
work from Anchorage. The Call is
wrong in fact and wrong by infer
ence.
THE LAST ARUl'MEXT.
Having failed to make good their
right to he considered necessary so
cial institutions, the saloons are now
trying to justify their existence for
revenue purposes. But it is not for
community revenue purposes they
want to prolong themselves. It is
for the purpose of providing the
proprietors with miniature gold
mines by an abstraction process
from dipsomaniacs. They exist for
the revenue of the owners only.
NOT PROVEN.
An exchange quotes from the de
mocratic claims for Wilson “He kept
us out of war", and adds “indus
trial as well as international".
About the international attitude
nothing may be said, but recalling
the strike in Colorado. Seattle and
Pacific Coast Longshoremen, Bay
onne, Youngstown and a number of
other little industrial battles, one
can surely declare “not proven".
A EOl'L CONSPIRACY.
It is not quite clear that there is
not a foul conspiracy to defeat
Hughes upon the part of the repub
lican campaign managers. Not sa
tisfied with sending Teddy orating
through the country and making a
hopeless mess of it, they now plan
to dispatch the well beloved and
most popular Taft a-spieling through
the land. If that is not trying to
kill all Hughes’ chances, what else
is it?
BAYONNE.
The strike in Bayonne serves to
khow any thinking person the in
stability of things today and the
necessity exists for a strong armed
force to drive the workers into sub
mission. They no longer are willing
to suffer the oppressive conditions
which Standard Oil in its gracious
ness has devised for them and the
intolerable wage-slavery of the Bay
onne refineries, so they manifest a
stiffnecked rebelliousness to their
industrial liege lords. Is there any
thing shows the propriety of nation
al preparedness than these instinc
tive revolts of the wage slaves?
Come down from the mists and
miasma of foreign relations and war
possibilities after the war. and get
wise to the manner in which the
workers are acting and struggling
to better their conditions—come
down to the (acts in domestic in
dustrial society and then perceive
the wisdom and wholesome pru
dence of conscription and compul
sory military service so 'that the
profits of Standard Oil et al., wrung
(rom the hides of reluctant wage
slaves, may be long In the land.
Hail Preparedness!
NO SYMPATHY.
If Rumania is wiped off the map.
who will have any sympathy for its
rulers? These deliberately held
themselves and the country for sale
to the highest bidder with the pro
| viso that they intended to side with j
I that side seemed to be the stronger, j
! At one time the Central Powers j
seemed to have it all their own
j way and Rumanian seemed anxious
1 to be the Ally of Germany, Austria
' and Bulgaria. Later it seemed poss
, ible Russia. France and England
I and the Entente generally were do
| ing very well and Rumania con
| eluded to get in on the band wagon,
j The sad truth of the proverb, there's
many a slip twixt the cup and the
lip is now being realized by the Ru
i nianian rulers with bitter lack of
sympathy from neutrals.
