SO< l \I.ISTS NOT WITH ERAME.

The Socialists are sending it all •
along the line to “Vote for Socialists'
Only," howls the Forty-Ninth Star.
We don't know whether the indict
ment is true or not. It is true, how
. ver. that this well known policy
• it smialists to “Vote for Socialists
only” is tin ever-increasing source of
ilist uuilitiire to old party politicians.
Well they know that by a class con
scious vote the workers will ulti
mately kick out of offlee and power
all those self-styled "heroic liglltei.s
lor ilie cause 01 labor, who for many
years have been hand in hand with
the exploiters of labor. This is "po
litical serfdom" says the Star, but we
ay it is a form id' political action ad
vocated by workers who know that all
other candidates and parties always
have and always will seek to main
tain the present existing system of
political and Industrial serfdom.
“For the party and for the party
tactics there is but one valid basis;
the basis of the class struggle, out
of which the Socialist party has
sprung up, and out of which alone
it can draw the necessary strength
to bid defiance to every storm and
to’all its enemies.” (Wnt. Lieb
nicht. substantially quoted.)
Neither the Forty-Ninth Star, its
political editor, nor any of the other
•T.7 varieties” of candidates running
at this election, recognize even the
t xistenco of the class struggle, nor
have they shown any conception of its
significance.
We are well aware that capitalistic
editors and politicians “have no use
for the socialist theories” but the
statement that there are any laboring
men who have no use for those theo
ries. is untrue. Socialism and the la
bor movement are inseparable.
There are only two kinds of candi
dates: Those who believe in the
workers getting only a portion of the
value they produce, and those who
believe in the workers getting all the
value they create. Once a worker j
understands this lundamental differ
ence between them, he logically ceases !
-- -— ■ --—
to vote for candidates who are scrv-j
ants of the plundcrbund.
No, Forty-Ninth Star, not a scratch
of the back will you, or any other of
the ‘‘varieties” get from a man who
understands the class struggle. .The
socialist candidates are not suffering
from “ItchforoIBcc” nor any other
form of "political ecsenia.” They are
pledged to a platform dictated and
endorsed by workingmen. They seek
for themselves and their fellow men
(even for opposing politicians) an
abundance of food, clothing and shel
ter, and the highest obtainable free
dom and culture. These things the
workers can never obtain so long as
they permit themselves to he deprived
of the greater portion of (he products
of their Industry. If that is what (lie
Forty-Ninth Star calls a “liollofa
golden rule” make the most of it. We
are for it and all that it implies.—

THE PKOSPECTOIt has been very
unfortunate In its < ITorts to keep our
people's minds constantly upon tlie
fact that to advance our Interests
with Eastern capital we must con
stantly keep our natural advantages
before them. We cannot afford to
supinely await what fate lias in store
for us. We must he lip and on one
toes, watching the ball. The Holder
who stands in one spot expecting tlie
ball to drop in his mitt, never animu s
any interest in the grand stand. It is
the same witli a city. If it stands
still, expecting capital to come to it
unsolicited, it never gets anywhere,
either In population or in industries.
If you have a good thing in sight let
us know it; we will place it before
our hundreds of readers in llie States
in a manner which will bring returns
to the community.
FOUR years ago and again two
years ago John Frame announced
that he was an ardent supporter of
President Wilson. Today lie is “agin”
him. He accuses the President of be
ing renominated for (lie Presidency
by Tom Donohoe of Valdez, and re
fuses to cast his vole this year for
the man who two years ago he de
clared to he the greatest president
since Lincoln. John may believe IPs
reasons for quitting Wilson to he
legitimate ones, for a man if he tries
real hard, and there are oilier con
siderations involved, can make him
self believe almost anything. Hut we
*
warn John right here that if we know
of ills casting a vote for Hughes u*
tilts election wo will do our diirndcsl
to have him pinched.
READERS of the Prospector hard
ly realize that we are receiving a
larger telegraph service (hail outside
papers with ten to twenty times the
population to serve. Yesterday this
paper received nearly six hundred
words of live political dope and news
stories. When you consider that the
pony Associated Press consists of hut
500 words and that when an outside
paper gets large enough to receive the
pony service it thinks it is going
some, the magnitude of the Prospec
tor's service may readily be seen.

CONFUCIUS has said that to try
to convince a man who is angered i.
like bailing a vessel with a fork, and
the old Chinese philosopher was in
close proximity to the truth. Anger
robs the mind of reason; shortens the
Life; and robs one of friends, rare
enough in these days where pelf and
power are valued above all else. The
angry man will injure hlmsolf in try
ing to Injure othors. He will turn
hundreds away from his doors in din
gust und in seeking to overcome th
object of his wrath will pull his owe
house about his ears.
Till? repudiation by the Alaska
Labor News of the obnoxious Frnnn
coterie of politicians will prove a se
rious blow to thut bunch of office
seekers. Just as they were antici
paling the handling of that $225,001
tax money, along comes the Socialist
pronunciamenlo end knocks their
hopes into a cocked hat. Of course.
Frame and Hunter do not want the
offices. They are only running to
keep unscrupi}louR men from being
elected. Their motives are wholly dir
interested.
IF every polling place in the Third
Division polls ris large a Democrat!)
vole as Kodiak did last year, the Del
egate will not have a look In. He re
ceived only seven votes there last
year; and six of those were Indians
who thought they were voting for the
interior of a candle or something good
to eat.
WE must be losing our punch. A
few short months agone we could not
walk up the street without exciting
the umplit inons verbiage of our
old friend mine; and our best ef
forts now fail to even arouse bis in
terest.
NOW that the Anchorage Socialists
have turned Wick down and announc
ed that they would vote for their own
candidate, just what ticket IS Jimmy
the Wick running on?
“Honest John” says he lias been
a Democrat for 4 0 years, la view of
his rash statements we wonder how
he acquired the first part of that
name?
NOW that the Socialists of the Ter
ritorv refuse to be trapped by the
VVlckershain bait it places a different
aspect on things political.
IE war is h I it would certainly
be war if Frame and Hunter were
elected.
AFTKR elect ion is over we are go
ing to lie miglily lonesome for some
thing to quarrel over.

show that Hughes and Wiltson are

Thu it What Happens
Statistics of the Department of In
ternal «Revenue show that when a
state becomes '‘dry” there springs
into existence irresponsible bootleg
gers who do a business equal in
amount if not greater Shan that pre
viously conducted by the retailers
who lost their licenses. This exposes
the hypocrisy of the prohibition move
ment* in that it Is simply instrumen
tal in. changing the channel whereas
the supply Is left open to take care
of the atUl existing demand.
Despite the Increase In consump
tion, prohibition Is opposed by com
mon sense folk, because of the Injus
tice existing in the fact that the busi
nerr of all those retailers, wholesal
ers and manufacturers engaged in
making their products In a particular
state is confiscated without in any
way aiding the cause of temperance.
In the instance of the retailer it
means in most cases the end of hla
business. In the case of the whole
saler and manufacturer. It means that
they must move to another state, Ios
ing much of their original investment,
forcing them to a greater expenditure
of money in reopening their business,
and all this without a single cent of
compensation for the inconvenience:'
and financial losses incurred.
Prohibition should be opposed from |
the fundamental viewpoint of prlnel
pie. It is absolutely wrong to so leg 1
islate that because one man abuse.
his right by drinking to excess, nil
others should be denied this privl
lege. The mistakes, wrongdoings, tin
intemperance of one individual, no
matter what forms 'these may take,
is absolutely no cr'*erion for the regu
lation of other Individuals.
True temperance means moderation
in the use of all things and If prohi
bitionists were given the free hand
that they so much desire, their policy
would demand the same prohibition
In other lines of irdustry that it does
in the drinking of the beverages.
This is the reason why all good di
Irens fight prohibition as they would
light the plague, n nlizing that the so
called cure is worse than the evil an>'
that the greatest enemy true temper
ance ever had is prohibition. —Adv.
