In bygone years I have looked upon
the Red Cross Society as being com
posed of persons who being opposed
to militarism, yet powerless to pre
vent war, sought to mitigate its evil
effects by administering to the suf
ferers as best they could. In more re
cent years it seemed that the society
was hobbled to some extent by fad
dists and those who were not com
pelled to earn a ilving; found means
of killing time and getting into print.
And when our merchant class began
to patronize the movement in the
past few years, I bgan to think it was
going to seed. At no time was I pre
pared for the severe jolt which the
press handed me under a New York
date line of Feb. 19, which reads:

You no doubt have read about the
little dispute in Mexico and which has
been lubeled revolution. That force
ful word is often used with little ref
erence to its real meaning. The Mad
ero uprising was in no true sense a
revolution. Neither is the latest
clash of arms a revolution. As a mut
ter of fact it is merely the flush of
factions of the rulmg class in un ef
fort of Bupremucy, or in other words,
a split in tho ruling class resorting
to force of arms; a sort of civil war
based, it would seem, not upon geo
graphical lines.
We had an example of this split in
the Rcpublicuin party lust your, which
was in no sense a revolution, just a
split in rulership. Perhaps it were
well to remark that a revolution is
not necessarily a resort to arms,
neither is a resort to arms necessar
ily a revolution. A revolution can not
be, unless a subjected class becomes
the ruling class, which is not tho case
in Mexico.
The big dollars talk of "protecting
American interests in Mexico." There
are no American interests in Mexico.
All those interests confined within
Mexican boundaries are Mexican in
terests. Any American or other for
eigner who invests money in Mexico
does so subject to the laws of that
country and with full knowlege of
his acts. As for me I hope Mexico will

Mtt. TERRILL ANSWERED.
An Idaho Subscriber and His Views
of the Miliia.,
Burke, Idaho.
Editor Courier-:
In your issue of Jan. 14th I noticed
an article by a Mr. Chas. F. Terrill
concerning the militia of Oregon City;
showing what Governor West did with
the militia in closing up resorts. When
a governor must call out the militia
to close up a resort it only goes to
show a lack of laws regarding such
matters or the lack of enforcing those
we have. There is something wrong
when we have to force one man to
close at the muzzle of a hundred guns.
If the militia was kept for such
purposes as Brother Terrill says, to
protect our homes, (how many work
ing men own homes?) it might be
tolerated.
But I can draw another picture
which will not be quite so pleasant to
contemplate. Supposing a working-
man goes on strike to better the con
dition of himself and the militia-man s
mother and sister. The son in the mil
itia can be ordered to shoot or bayonet
his own father.
The employer holds the whip of
hunger over the father's back and his
militiaman son holds a rifle at his
heart. The father must surrender.
The young militiaman wrongs his
own class, forces his own father back
to work at the wage the employer
sees fit to give and thereby binds
more secure the chains of servile
slavery and signs the death warrant
of industrial freedom.
Christ said "Call no man master." I
wonder if Mr. Terrill ever heard of
Mr. Taft's insult to the soldiers in a
public speech when he said the milit
ia should be made so attractive that
it would not be difficult to obtain "in-
peaceful Christ contempt and for "put utmost pinching and self denial. It is
up thy sword" a sneer and for "thou the taxes over $20 every year. I can-
shalt not kill" a merry ha ha and for
justice absolutely nothing.
With apologies for the author of
"War, what for" I am yours for peace
with justice,

OLD TIME THRIFT.
Little Human Interest Story Written
by an Observer.
Those who live at the north end of
town can frequently see an aged wo
man enter town with a market basket
on her arm. When I met her the other
day my curiosity and sympathy were
aroused, for a woman of her years
does not carry a heavy basket for ex
ercise on the graveled railroad over
which other people ride in comfortable
cars.
I accosted her and in the conversat
ion which ensued I learned that she
would ride like other people if her
financial resources permitted the lux
ury. There was a naivette in the ex
uberance of her volubity, which fas
cinated me. In her was a blending of
the simplicity of childhood and the
wisdom of ages. If my memory could
have retained all the flood of in
formation, the mass of household and
economic details which she poured
forth I am sure my store of useful
knowlege would be appreciably en
riched. As I had nothing in particular to do
I walked with her toward her home,
for in her simple conversation I dis
covered a wealth of truth and wisdom,
beside which the abstruse lecture of
a college professor would seem mere
bosh.
She suddendly stopped and seemed
irritated. She must have noticed the
look of doubt in my face when she av-
not see why it is so much. In the old
country where there is a standing
army to support, they would not tax
property like ours for more than five
dollars.
This woman, who has solved for
herself, in her own way, the problem
of the money trust, the meat trust,
and all sorts of commercial and indus
trial trusts, stood helpless before the
tax eaters' trust. She saw no way of
escaping the remorseless fangs of this
insatiable monster.
I had it on my lips to tell her that
were it not for corrupt legislatures
and unlegalized graft of state, coun
ty and town officials and their hire
lings, the taxes here would not be
higher than in the old counry. But
I did not. It could only have arroused
bitterness in her heart. In this case
ignorance is bliss. What good would
it do her to provoke the question
whether there are enough honest men
in Oregon from which to choose legis
lators who are free from corrupting
lobbyists, who will not on the reap
rocal basis "if you vote for mine
will vote for yours," squander still
more money on officials who already
compute their salaries in thousands
paid by pinched poverty, which counts
its pennies in tears?

Socialism is the political expression?
Since the advent of the machine
age the church appears to have to go
out of touch to a large degree, with
the working class, it no longer main
tains the influence on the workers as
it did in feudal society, it seems to
have lost concern for them with the
advent of the machine age, and has
been lacking in her zeal for the dowr-
trodden victims of this modern age,
and instead of heeding the injunction
"FEED MY LAMBS" has permitted
them to be sold into the worst of slav
ery without a definite protest.
Today we hear complaints from the
churches church to the lack of inter
est displayed by the working class
toward it: the trouble seems to be
the convictioin on the part of the
worker, that the church is too aris
tocratic.
He criticises "her for allowing her
self to be dominated by a social sys
tem that is the antithesis of the teach
ings of the Nazarene, and are not in
accord with the principle of human
brotherhood; he is unable to under
stand how a Christian can be con
tent with the conditions of life and
labor under which the mass of the
poor are struggling for existence, and
why he fails to join in a movement
for alleviating these conditions.
He sees the necessity of the church
lining up with the labor movement,
and realizes no greater calamity
could befall it than to find itself of
this great world movement.
Many clergymen, who are forced in
to contact with the lives of the poor
and exploited in our industries are
coming in to this movement, but the
church as a whole seems to be wait
ing until the victory of the workers
is assured, before committing itself
to their cause; but the Church will
soon be forced to take a definite stand
in this crisis, and doubtless this ec
clesiastical institution will be rent
with srife. Only by a severance of this
material bond, can the church function
in the work which tradition and the
Christian faith has inspired in its
followers.
The victory of the Socialistic move
ment will mean the cutting loose of
the church from its capitalistic and
political power, but would leave un-
mpaired its spiritual and ethical mis
sion. The real liberty and power of
the Christian minister would not be
interfered with, only his profession
al status would disappear, he would be
left free to teach and. preach as his
intelligence and conscience dictated
to him and there would be no incent
ive to hypocrisy.
The Christian believer would find in
the triumph of socialism a much
greater liberty for his church, a wider
opportunity for expressing his ideas
and Bentiments would be greatly in
creased, being economically secure he
would have an opportunity to ac
quaint himself with the different re
ligious ideas, and could choose the
one in accord with his personal views
unhampered by a fixed creed or dogma.
Socialism puts no obstacles in the
way of the developments of the in
dividual who is seeking the truth.
