-BARON-KIKUCHI—
IS PROGRESSIVE
I
s
»
Not, as a rule, are the regulatioi
addresses delivered by notables 01
festal ocoasiona before Colleges o:
Universities, at all original, or it
any way worthy of note. As a ruli
there is in such addresses a forma
stiffness and an odor of mustiness t<
conform with their surroundings. A
notable exception to the rule was the
address delivered at University Col
lege, London, by Baron Kikuchi o,
Japan. The Baron advised his coun
trymen to abolish their own anc
adopt the English language. In al
the speeches made, and articles writ
ten, and inventions schemed in favoi
of an international language, th<
Baron’s suggestion is the first stei
and the longest step taken in the
right direction.
Strange as it may seem, the scheme!
to establish an international language
—Volapuk, Esperanto, or what not—
by manufacture has feund ardent re
sponse among Socialists. This ii
strange because better things shoulc
be expected from Socialist minds
accustomed as these presumably are
to the thought of evolution. The
bourgeois reformer, the An-Arcbist.
and all such imagine society can be
improved by schemes. They ignore
the evolutionary process; in othse
words, they ignore facts and adjusl
these to their fancies. That sucl
folks should be blind to the facte
essential to the structure of a lang
uage, and should buckle down tt
fabricate a new one is nothing
strange. They know naught of the
evolution that underlies language. II
should be otherwise with the Social
ist. Habituated to the eyolutionarj
thought he is the last man with whom
so rattle-brained a notion as the man
ufacture of a language should be ex
pected to take lodgment. The scien
tifle habits of thought the Sqpialisl
has presumably acquired, and whiot
cause him to reject all “schemes” foe
social improvements, should be
enough to open his eyes to the facl
PROGRESS IN
ELECTRICITY
i
i
y
The first installation of electric
lights on shipboard was on the Amer
ican steamship Columbia, of the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation company,
in 1880. the plant comprising four of
the original type Edison machines,
belt driven.
Since that time her progress in con
nection with marine-electric matters
has been rapid. While there are three
great enemies of electrical apparatus
to contend with in sea service,
namely, salt air, moisture and heat,
and the marine engineer was duly
afraid of them, the many obvious ad
vantages of electric light aboard ship
helped gradually to overcome most oi
the obstacles, and today after much
early trouble with apparatus and wir
ing, electric service is one of the wel
established commodities afloat.
Telephone equipments today are re
cognized institutions aborad ship,
controlled from central offices as ir
shore service. Electric heat alarms,
too; are in use^in ships’ coal bunkers
to give warning of dangerous temper
atures rises and the liability of spou
taneous combustion. There are, fur
ther, electrically operated elevators
which, of recent years, with half e
dozen decks, have become virtually
necessities and not simply convienc
ies.
In the gymnasiums aboard thes<
ships also eomplete systems of appli
ances on the Zander system, are in
stalled, and all these are operated by
electric motors. An electrio lighi
bath cabinet is still another abjunci
to the modern ocean liner’s equip
ment, and in the ship’s barber shoj
some of the well known types of elec
trie massage apparatus have beei
adopted.
Wirleless telegraph apparatus, too
as almost every one knows, has comi
into extended service in the variou
navies and merchant marines, and m
passenger steamship today is eonsid
ered complete without it.
With all the interest and import
ance attached to these several electri
marine applications, however, th
most promising filed for the futur
service of electricity aboard ship is i
the substitution of electric motors fc
steam and hydraulic engines operat
ing the auxiliary machinery of whic
so much is installed on a modern ves
sel. A good deal has been done aion
this line during the past half doze
years, but much remains yet to be a<
. complisbed.—Electrical Record.

i that a language is a structural growth,
i A language does not consist of
■ words. A language is a structure,
i and that structure is the slow growth
i of a thousand and one social and
1 ethuij causes. Words are but the
i clothing of the structure of a lang
uage. No more than man can be
i created, as Goethe’s W’agner tried to
do, by cristalization, or a new social
' order by a scheme, can a language be
created artificially. That a universal
language will one day he spoken is
! certain. The same causes that have
given birth to the scores of languages
■ in existence, will lead, if not-drive,
i civilized man in all latitudes to
> choose a common means to exchange
their thoughts by.
Baron Kikuchi’s suggestion is
i planted upon these priaciples. It re
i jects the idea of an artificially con
structed language and suggests a nat
ural one. It is in this respect that
i the BarQn’s words constitute the
, first and the longest step so far taken
in the direction of an international
i language. Before one can move for
t ward the path must be cleared of
rubbish. The rubbish of manufac
i turing a new language impedes today
the path toward reaching the inter
1 national language. The Baron’s error
; in imagining that English, one of
the existing, living languages, can
i become the international medium of
thought is an immaterial error. More
likely is the forecast that -Latin, the
most heroic language ever spoken ; a
language that, besides being a spon
taneous growth, has a monumental
literature upon which modern intel
lect has found it profitable to whet
itself, and has gone in several degrees
into all the European languages—
more likely it is that such a language,
already international to a certain
extent, will be raised to the dignity
of actual iuteruationality.
At any rate Baron Kikuchi has done
well.
LOCAL 92
TO TEDDY
Whereas, The capitalist class, thru
their flunkies, by sending troops to
Goldfield to make the majority, the
miners, submit to the will and dic
tates of the minority, the mine own
ers, have again shown to what extent
profit extractors will go to satisfy
their gluttony.
The capitalist class, through prat
| ing of democratic rule, show by their
acts that they believe in class rule.
They, the capitalist class, show in
every act, that they consider the
working class only chattels, only
things that are useful in making a
life of ease and comfort fvr them
selves, the capitalist class, whereas,
the most distinguished citizen of the
United States, the noted reformer,
the trust buster, the gentleman of the
“square deal fame,” the brilliant
author.
Whereas, The judge of citizens, has
once more become conspicuous for
his class acts and thereby shows him
self fitted only for class rule, instead
of the servant of all the people, as
pretended.
Whereas, the governor of a great
state, the official who is supposed to
see that the rights of all citizens are
respected, has shown himself the will
ing tool of profit mcngers and stook
gamblers, and is therefore unfitted
for a position of trust in a nation of
toilers.
Whereas, The working elass or any
portion thereof, can only protect
’ itself from the encroachments and
abuses of the capitalist elites by or
ganizing themselves into a thorough
' class organization ; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, Local 92,
1 I. W. W. of Portland, Oregon, call
upon workingmen of all nationalities,
1 both skilled and unskilled, to organ
J ize themselves into an economic or
3 ganization, that will have power to
’ give dignity to labor, that dignity
which capitalist politicians tell of at
election times, and be it further
Resolved, That we extend our sym
" pathy to the miners of Goldfield and
9 commend them for the stand they
9 have taken and to stimulate them to
1 their best efforts, we remind them
r that their fight is one for manhood,
for homes, for liberty itself.

1. —We hold that there is a class
struggle in society and that this
struggle is caused by economic con
ditions.
2. —We affirm the economic con
dition of the producer to be that he is
exploited of the wealth which he pro
duces, being allowed to retain barely
sufficient for his elementary necessi
ties.
3. —We bold that the class struggle
will continue until the producer is
recognized as the sole master of his
product.
4. —We assert that the working class
and it alone, cau and must achieve
its own emancipation.
5. —We hold, Anally, that an indus
trial union and the concerted politi
: cal action of all wage workers, is the
only method of attaining this end.
C.—Therefore, we, the wage slaves
employed in and around the mines,
mills and smelters of the World, have
