8Al.V:.l. brc, Jnn. 17 the mnn
ners of the present generation ot the
yduth of OrcRon do not j)!cae Ilcprc
sontntU(j J. K. Howard or DoiirUs
County. A lit t lo first bnnd instruc
tion from their teachers In how to
net. he blcllcVcs, would not come In
amiss, and ho thinks It should begin
early.
These Ideas nnd a number of oth
ers pertaining to the Instruction of
the public school child arc embodied
In a bill Introduced by Howard, who
is n minister, in the house.
Tlio bill makes It compulsory on
tlio Btatc superintendent oT public In
struction nnd the state board ot edu
cation to adopt a graded courso In
manner nnd morals as a permanent
part of tho curriculum of nil schools
up to tliu ninth grade. Mr.' Howard
would nmke girls learn maimers an
well as 1)0)8 and 110 child Is to be
excused, nccordliig to tho Mil.
Tito' provision Is also mndo for n
course of lectures on ncx hyglcno to
grammar nnd high school pupils, ucr
12 ers of ago by tho county ttuperlu
teudent, tho principal of the school,
or some other proper pcison. Tho
hexes nre to be segregated lit this Instruction.
SAI-UM. Ore , Jan. 17. One of tho
contusing features ot tho present pri
mary law will bo eliminated If a
ineiiHiiro Introduced in tliu house to
duy by lluprcsciitntlvo Loftgren of
lkorlluud Is adopted Instead of vot
ing for only 0110 of his party's can
didates, for doleguto to tho national
convention, this bill provides that the
elector vote for tho entire number
allowed tho party by law.
At tho last election this number
wu3 ten. Much confusion resulted,
hdwovor, from tho Vole for 0110 requirement.
GHOSTS OF DEATH CELL
'HA'HT BIG NEGRO PUGILIST
CHICAGO, Jan. 17. Jack John
son, suffering front an old-fushloned
caso of "ha'nts," limped Into the of
flco of Charles V. Dewoody of the
federal department of Justlco today
and complained bitterly because he
was confined In one ot tho death
cells at tho county Jail. The negro
mvoro "spooks"' made merry around
his cell nil night and that for the
first time in his llfo ho was suffer
ing from a weak back, "due to my
thrashing around nil night when tho
Bpooks wcro bothering mo."
Dewoody told the negro ho ought
to have a largo and comfortable cell.
Johnson responded ho had no com
plaint on tho slzo, '"but just think of
sleoplng In a room whoro men huvo
spout their last night on earth. I'd
rather jump from the top of a twenty
story building than to repeat that
oxperlouco."

OUT of tho conflict of labor nnd capitalout of indus
trial turmoil and strife, has sprung a now and inis
tor 16111, of tromoiidouft import to humanity. Syndicalism,
a L'Yankonstom df evil omen, conjured into being by the
erhncg of capitalism, roinorsely pursuing its creator to
ayengt) by destruction the Jiin of its conception.
Like all great radical movements, syndicalism has
sprung from the masses, from the boiling of the dregs at'
the bottom of the human caldron. Primeval and brutal
in characteristics, its simplicity and crudeness give it
enduring vitality and strength yet ft is but the reversed
reflection or existing conventions, a satire on civili.atiut
as seen wrong end to in the looking glass.
Syndicalism is not socialism, which tenches the pcnro
ful evolution of the all powerful democratic state through
educationthis process is altogether too conservative niid
slow. Neither is it labor unionism, which means the pro
tection of the skilled few at the expense of the unskilled
many.
Syndicalism is the sei.nro by labor of the various in
dustries of the world, so that the workers, all the workers,
will receive full value of thfir labor. Syndicalism is world
wide, it knows neither trade nor craft, neither rank nor
class, neither race nor nationality. The workers of the
world are to take possession of the machinery of produc
tion of the world and abolish capitalism and the wage
system even as tlie French Jacobins abolished aristocracy
to establish fraternity and equality.
The means to the olid the machinery to be employed
to bring about this condition, is "direct action" sabotage
nnd strikes. Sabotage is the gentle art of soldiering on
tiie johj of decreasing tliu employer s profit, ot poor uork
Inanship, of assisting in every way possible to bring on
bankruptcy.
Short strikes are to be called wherever possible to
cripple industry and to mlify the toilers, to disorganize
business without impoverishing the strikers. The striker.
will return to work, asking no recognition, signing no
agreements, for the strike is not meant to better existing
conditions, but a step ill the program to ruin the employer
and train the workers. Gradually the cost of production
win increase so, ana tlie protits decrease so. tnat the em
ployers, worn out, will give up the management of uil-
protitable industry to workers.
Some day, when the Avorkers arc trained sufficiently,
the general strike will be declared and all industrv cease.
rill. .. . ! n . a .. . .
xne minority ot employers win do lorced to turn over
everything to the majority of -workers and the industries
will govern themselves according to their needs and lights.
Such is the theory of syndicalism, which seems to be
expressed hi the philosonhv of Peuuet: "Do vou want
something? Don't ask for it. Make sure you are strong
enough not to fear any comeback, and thch'tj.ko it." That
has always been the ruthless philosophy of capitalism
now it is to become the philosophy of the workers.
"Vhnt syndicalism would have the workers do to cap
ital, is only what capital or its predecessor, privilege, has
always done to workers. It is the revolt of the toiler from
centuries of mistreatment, serfdom and peonage Our
factories, our mills and our mines liaVe heartlessly crushed
the joV of life out of millions sacrificed lite to property
even as'the (syndicalists would sacrifice property ami pro
fits of the few, for life and profits for the multftude.
Government must grow from below, as everything else
in nature grows. It cannot grow downwards from the
top. Man did not come from the angels but from the
beasts, and as he grows so will his government grow. The
bottom must bo bettered to perfect tn. top, ami the syndi
calists realize it. Yet the syndicalist cares nothing for
the finely spun threads of logic. He only knows Tie is
the victim of convention and would brnshasidu the bill
warks of convention as chains that bind him. Like thr
sightless Sampson at CJnza, ho would pull down Hie temple
about his enemies, though he perish in the ruins.
Syndicalism has had a tremendous growth in Kluope,
particularly in-France. It has but- recently secured a tool
hold in America. Jt is the gospel of the Industrial Work
ens of the World, "1. W. W." as they are known and Dill
Haywood is its chief priest.
Syndicalism is un-American in origin and conception.
Jt belongs to the land of caste and .serfdom, whoro the
rank and 'file are without -opportunity. Its growth in
America is most rapid among tliu foreigners imported to
lake the places of Americans by predatory employers who
practice a thinly disguised peonage an actual wage slav
ery. Its appearance follows the industrial and economic
tyranny or the trust, which is making this a land where the
worker is denied opportunity.
Outside the more populous eastern status, America is
still agricultural rather than industrial. The foreign ini
migation has merged with the native and lost its charac
teristics after a generation or two. The Anglo-Saxon typo
still predominates, and your Aiifclo-Saxon is thick-headed,
over n conservatives, loves his chains and docs not take
kindly to innovations. Jfe prefers to reform by no it ion
rather than by revolution.
AVhen we restore to this nation a government that is
not operated to enrich the few at the expense of the many,
a government that curbs instead of fostei-s monopoly, de
stroys special privilege and restores equality 'of opportun
ity, syndicalism will fall of its own weight. However, per
mit industrial conditions to continue another generation
as they have been developing in the past and Franken
stein will overtake his creator, n
