ONE OF THE HISTORY MAKERB.

With the termination of Mr. JamesD. Oraham's services to the Socialistparty of Montana in the capacity ofState Secretary, an office which hehas Alled to the exclusion of everyother Interest for the past five years,It is fitting that some recognltlon ofhis long and devoted services shouldbe printed in the paper that carriesthe Interests of the Socialist partythroughout the northwest, and whichhis grit and fnannial ability havemaintained for the last four years.

Durln OGraham's term off ofce theparty membership has been thirdhighet in the United States on a basisof population. The vote has alwaysbeen second highest in percentage.The percentage of other states hasrisen and fallen but Montana has re-mained steady as second on the list.And last election it was only one-tenth of one per cent below the high-est.

Graham has attracted chile atten- ttion natlonally in the otco by his tfmel and willinglne to handle atlarge number of speakers. and pro- lmote the educational and constructiveInterests of the party. Lst Septema- Cher and October there were not less tthan as average of twenty-ive lee- etures given in the state each week sunder the aespictes of the state olee. Iand one week lined up a roll of forty- clive lectures. The sacrifice made byGraham during his term of service, aterm of service to the working clamsthat begga In his boyhood days in

eetland, and will probably terminateonly when his body and brain canmove no more, have been of thatsilent and steady kind that do notattract much popular attention.When he entered the ofBee of StateSecrtary of the locialist party of

Montana he had 61.500 in the bankand fifteen head of cattle. He hadbeen out of work for two years eausedby a railroad blacklist at the machineshops, and had passed through heavyfamily trouble which cost him heavily.When he came from his home atUvingston to Helesna to take charge ofthe News. In obedience to the partyvote, he had $1.100 in the bank, 17head of cattle on the hills. Todayhe has a $e00 mortgage against hishome, a $100. note against him in aLivington bank. and personal debtsof $50. and upwards.

It might be Intoreetlng to make alittle cash estimate of what is In-volved here. Valuing the cattle at

$30. a head (a very low iaure,) wehave $300; and this with the bank ac-count gives $1,800. Graham wasalso in posseeson of $300. worth ofAppeal cards which he had bought

stedlily for year to esist the Appealwhen it was in straits, which wereused up by the party speakers and theNews in the aive years. This makes

,3.100. He also had $800. worth ofmortgages and notes, and derived $16.from a sale while the trials weregoing on at Boise. This does notmake mention of the increase in thecattle. When he came to Helena hesold $10. worth of calves. Last Jan-uary he sold the last of his cattle. twoand three-year-old that he had neverseen, for $60. less $36. feed expense,which to pay the linotype note InFebruary.

In other words Graham has givenabout $3,000, in cash to the party, notto figure on his time, which had hebeen working at his trade that of amachlnist,would have averaged $1,100a year. This does not include whathe has paid out and charged up aswages this year on the linotype.

In other words he has given sixtimes more money than any otherperson to the News, regardless ofwages. This does not include $100.received from his father, and othersmall loans that had been borrowedfrom him and were paid back afterhe came to Helena. If everythingwas considered exclusive of wages itwould amount to $3,500. In the threeyears, $3,000. is a very conservativeestimate.

Besides this the opportunities of life

passed by In five years for the partymust be taken Into consideratlon.One lnstanoe was, that he refused an

-opportunity to buy 640 acres ofB land at $2.50 an acre when he came

to Helena. in order that he might

have the money to help the News.and $800. of it was used the first year.

-This land was bought and resold

within a year afterwards at $10. an

acre. Takting the money into con-

Ssderatlon, the lost opportunities, andfive years of a human Ilfe,.this is but

o striking a balance exclusive of wages,worry, agony, sleepless nights, abuse.overworked nature and misery thrownIn on the side. Over such thorny

a paths do the silent and unnamed he-

roes of revolution go.Graham was born at Greenock

Scotland, some thirty-six years ago.The name is famous in Scottish borderhistory and his ancestors (ought inthe battles of freedom as the genera-tions faced their own problems. Hisgrandfather with five others or-ganised the first stone mason's unionIn Scotland, at Glasgow. He had totake refuge In England for six months.but the union got strong, won a strike,and forced the blacklist of him. InGreenock, Scotland. in the early fifties.his grandfather was arrested for unionktctivity andconspiracyand tried in thesheriffs court, the same as the judicial

C district court of in Montana. for con-spiracy and contempt. The Cansti-tatlon and by-laws of the union weresubmitted to the court. The judgeread the document and crushed it inhis hand, saying that it was a compactwith hell and lt league with the devil,and threw the constitntion and by-laws in the grandfather's face. and

fined him $100.,which the union paid.C There was no strike declared after the

Sdecision of the court, but every stonemason working for the boss in differ-A ent parts of the town packed his kite and quit. No men could be hired to1 take their Jobe, and the boss wantedto know the trouble, and he was toldhe had better see Graham. and per--haps an apology would straighten

* matters out. Things were adjustedto the satisfaction of the union, and

I- that was the Scotch masons reply tois the courts, and government by Injunc-

a tion over half a century ago in Scot-!- land.

a Two of the great uncles of James D. be* Graham were hung in Lanarkshire fora taking part in the radical rising in the hi

early part of the last century. Thist was in the days of the agitation in thea Robert Owen movement. The radi-

cal rising was a democratic revolution tiI that swept over the British Isles some w

a ten years afer Waterloo was fought. cis The grand uncles were hanged, andU drawn and buried like criminals. The* women folks went to the graves at 01

* night and disinterred the bodies, tookl clUI the remains home, and a nights after b.

it ward gave them a christian burial in

the kirkyard in the darkness of th.e night. The Scotch socialists honor

the memory of these men each year gI

k by putting flowers on their graves. IA At that time, when the British aria- t

d trocrats drank, their toast was, "Con- at fusion to France, Tom Paine, the Pope t(

and the DeviL" A nice mixture this.

It is strange that the country, Britain, iwhich shipped the money and the m in u

to reestablish monarchy in France cly should have been the first countr/ tl

outside of France to feel the effects of

the intellectual teachings of theFrench scholars. t

The radical rising was followed by w

the Chartist movement and cornl.w g

agitation. That hanging took place a oa few miles from the spot where was1* hung the greatgrandfather of John

oIt Brown, of Harper's Ferry, for ad-

C* at Bothwell Bridge and Drumclog, two- vocaeting religious freedom. h

Is Two of Graham's grandsires fought e

at Bathwell Brldge and Drumclog. two gIt

famou a battles fought for religious pre liberty. One of them fell at Drum- f

ie clog. tlClog.

Romans. John Graham, the chief of

the clan.

In the 12th century Wallace gave

the clan the title of "The Gallant

Grahams" for work on the field of

t Dunbar fighting for Bcottush liberty:I and the clan held it ever afterwards

and never discredited the title.

"Frae India to Waterloo They ne'er

disgraceed their bonnets blue."

The Grahams never were serfs like

the Frank. German or English--as-I senach. While they swore allegiance

to the chieftain of the clan yet they

never bent the knee to a feudal lord.

They paged from the clan system intocapitalism.

"James D. Graham went to work Inthe shipyards of Greenock, at 12 years

Sof ase. lor tyonty-thlU years he

has been allrated with organised I

labor. At 14 years of age he er. a

ganised a strike of a hundred boys t

t employed as rivet heaters on the eas- ta, struction of the British gunboats. The |

*. strke lasted one hour and was wea.

At 14 years of age, on leaving Scotland i

for Montana, he received a memorial m

I from 800 union men. representing all ait crafts employed in the dockyard he

.was workinl in. The presentation

e, consisted of a pocket book with ten I

nsold soverlgns, traveling case and -

watch chain with maltese cross charm I

bearing an inscription stating thek cause of the presentation, and which I

o0 la much prised by Comrade Graham Ier today. Few kids of 16 get a send-oft

infrom union men. a-

When Graham was 15 years old he

got into trouble with the manager of

the firm on labor matters, and was be-

ing victimised. A Joint committee of

eight men from different unions took

up the case with the manager and he

was not molested after the committee

got through with the interview.

Graham was one of the chief or*

ganisers and active workers in the

machinists union at Livingston, as his

br6ther machinists can and will teatifya

who have stood by his side for many

years. In the A. R. U. strike of 1894.

where Livingston was the first or-

ganised point that went out in theI northwest, he felt the presure of a

U. 8. bayonet on his stomach, the bey-

onet being handled by a negro soldier

who was over six feet high. Graham

was also the man who prevented the

scabs from taking out an enginae bybeing the first to stand on the track

directly in front of it.directly in front of it.

In 1506 Graham attempted to or-

ganize the Bocialest Labor Party In

Montana, and worked to secure

enough names to a petition to put the

oelcalist Labor Patty electors on the

ballot 100 names were lacking. 1,500

being necessary to get representation.

At one time Graham's father sad

himself were credited with beiag

among the only Ave union men tigood standing among the shepmen,•,

the Northern Pacific railroad. That

was back in the days when the Ma-

chinists' Union was only 3,000 strong,

and the American Federation of Lobor

only 1,.000 strong. Today the Ma-

chinists have upwardof 140,000 mem-

bers, and the A. F. of L. one and ahalt million or more.

Back in those days the union or-

gainser got $50. a month and had to

pay all his expenses. He did not

travel In a Pullman but in cattle, box,

and coal cars, and whenever he struck

town he looked Ilke a regular hobo,

and usuall a collection had to be taken

up to buy him a pair of trousers or a

clean suit of underelothes. The old-time boomers, the men who made the

organization, used to do good workP

then, and when they were fired and

Swere leaving town there was usually a

v gold piece went from one palm to the

I other in the parting hand shake.

" Graham has frequently spoken of

one old fellow who was blacklisted inuVirginia, who had a family and was

hounded clear across the continent, tot whom he gave $20.00 as he bid him

0 good-bye. But the union could not

" protect its members in those days of

fifteen years ago and more; and whenthe men would tell the victim of the

blacklist, or the fellow that stood up

for better conditions that they were

sorry they hae no organisation to

protect him going out to hunt a new

I master, after being hounded across thecontinent, more than one man wouldn reply, "never mind; what does it mat.

Ster? It is all for Honor Cause. Thatit was the word- All for honor's euse.

e Now if an attempt is made to dis-

If charge a man for standing up for his

rights it will mean a strike along a

Sfew thousand miles of track. Thisit s the result of all the early day agi-f tatlon.

When the old-time boomer ma-p chinist strikes Helena he hunts up the

Montana News office and many a storyr Is related of the stiring Itmes

in the days gone past, when to be a* union man meant to be one from

choice and not compulsion. Those

who know Graham know full wellV that his first words to the boomer are

I. "Have you chewed?" And more

r than once, when the boomer was

broke he got his last quarter, and theni It was Graham who was broke.

s This brings to mind another incident

) ' his struggle for the worklg oleam.

I last summer when the Nws was

Struggling under heavy pressur,e. ar tie time John Beard had come Into

Sthe offce and trouble was brewngl.6 braham pawned his watch, *a S6.00

. gold tlmepiece, to pay some pressltaI bills against the News, and out of

I which he gave Beard S1. He was notII able to redeem the watch and lost It.

" The following, taken from the

a "Labor World" of Butte, of 1302, was

a printed on the occaslon of Graham's

I election to the Executive Board of thea Montana State Federation of IAbor.

S '"A man of conscience, one who

Ih knows what duty Is, who recogalaes

a In this duty the divine function of

I performing It fearlessly and honestly,

is James D. Graham, afeetionately

Sknown throughout the state as Jimmle

if Graham, of Lvingston. He bas thati- that jocund spirit, that earnest way

it which makes thie performance of dutyIt a pleasure to realise. He feels that

*e the capitallstic system is damning,e, rule and barbarous, and In the spirit

of eternal vigilance hits it, and hits Itr. as hard as it is possible for mortal

e man to hit. He is doing it and his

in comrades appland and ay, bravo:"

y Again: "Among the stalwart

y comrades attending the state Socialls:

I, Committee meeting was that indo-r. midable foe of lnjustlce James D.

M Graham, of the Livingston Local. Jim

is a descendent of the Highland Chleif

and is passessed of all their stubborn

be true to the characteristic tendenny

of his ancestry, that means he is

eomrades, but the day is fast ap*-

Sprachrlta to bestow a true oppreela-

t on upon them."tien upon them."Oraham has a most remarkable

.opp mof the labor tendencesn a ble-terical development. It is no undue

praise or eaggenration to state that

there Is no man in Montana that un-

derstands the labor movement as hedeem. They will be generally admit-

ted by all who know him. He .cents

keenly the lines of development that

labor will take, and disatnguishes with

remarkable clearness between the

false sad the true phases. This gift

of analyril he possesses, which verges

on the phenomenal., extends to the

world-wide movement of revolution-

ary forces! and few In America have

the International che board In their

vision as he sham This cosmopolittan

grasp is also a pole star to him In

watching the contemporaneous de-velopr.ent. His mind quickly per-

celves the distinctive between emptytalk and effective results, and this

makes him remarkably clear on the

necessity and reality of an *Alelent

constructive movement

Graham hea accemplished on theMontaas News what even the bustnme

men of Helena say no other man In

the town could do without capital.

He has extended the paper over the

entire northwestern territory. Hehas developed the clas conarious

sense in the organased labor of thenorthwest that It must throw Its com-

mercial support to the paper of its

class. He has developed the idea ofM fghting the capitalists sectionally with

a labor press voicing the revolution-d ary political program of the workers.

He has staggered along under the

t financial burden for four years. whenothers who attempted the same de-

elared the paper kankrupt In threeweeks. But he would pull it out and

a staggr on again.

And these are the efforts of one

workIngman who realises the degrada-

tion of his class; one worklngman

without education exoept that to make

proprofit for his master. As BdwilMarkham says. "The worklngrmahas never had Justice; he has been

a cheated, slandered and profaned, dis.tort,.d in mind and stunted In body."

W. II indeed, that there are a few of

II whom it may be said. "He did as

well us he knew, and he did It for us."

Poet's CornerTIE OGWO OP TEN AGITATO(

By Peter Eugeae Walling.

My soul cried out on the mountain.But no one answered. IGave great words to the castle hall,But on one heard my cry,

etr the hearts of my people werehardened,

And their thoughts were turned away;Turned from the seekinl of honorAnd turned to the greed of today.And what though I cried on the plain,The ears of the people around mewere like to the ears of the slain.Bo my soul found no solace in givingIts cry o'ir the wilderness there,And I turned from my seeking in

sorrow,And walked on the path of dispair111 I came to the realm of the van-

quished,Where hope lies indeed in its shroud,

Where they bend down their necks forthe mighty

And give up their pride to the proud.And there against the altar of

MammonI threw down my challenge againAnd orled with new purpose and vigor,The cry of the freedom of men;And the multitude there all round meTook up the refrain and I heardA sound like the rushing of waters.Anb the temple of Mammon was

stmrred.The earth seemed to quake with re-

rejoicingTill the temple of Mammon then fellAnd returned to the ulft where it

Advic to Advisrs.

The editor of this paper will reeeiveadvice gratlously upon subjects re-lating to law, physics, and divinity--upon the beet mode of fattening swine

and raising good crops of potatoes

and turnips; but we beg leave most re-

specttully to decline any nastruction as

to the manner In which this paper

should be conducted. If we were to

gratify the different tastes, and adopt

the different views of those few cen-

sors who presume to think that they

best understand the duties of an

editor, it is not probable that the

public would be better satisfied with

the result; and it is certain that every

scrutator must have his separate sheet

embodying his separate notions. It

is desirable that the motto of this

paper should receive more attention.

as it has not been hastily adopted.

and will not be abandoned.

The quotation is from Cicero. "And

reason should prevail with us more

than popular oplnion."William Lloyd Garrison.

THgE FIRST "SCAB"

Undoubtedly the devil was the first

"seab." There is on disputing the

fact that heaven has always been run

according to union principles and as

a closed shop. Batin rebelled against

those conditions and started to agitate

for an open institution, whereupon he

was expelled from membership in the

angels' union and fired to perdition.

Ever since then harmony has re-

mained in Paradise, and the closed

shop prevails. No "scabs" Is toler-

ated lathe kingdom of heaven, and

there is no room for Professor Ellot's

hero strike breakers there. Our

advice to the man who Is so low as to

act the "scab" is to go to his father.

InternationalB IS TIE GURMAN SOCAL-DEMO-

ORATIO PARTY WSTILL

MAUZmrr?

(Prom London Justice.)A question that has often been

asked of the present writer In Blg-land is, Whether the German Soclal-Democratli party still remains true tothe principles of Marxism?

The question is, undoubtedly, natur-al In view of the frequent discussionswhich have taken place in recentyears In respect to Bernstein's book,the agrarian problem and Socialism,the relation of the party to the tradeunions, the question of voting for oragainst the budget, and so on.

To the opponents of Marxism theanswer is very simple. Just like everyother body of men who have setthemselves the task of realising Inpractice and making known the teach-Ing of any particular master, theMarxists have found that in practicethey are obliged one after anothersuccessively to throw overboard theteachings of their master on everysingle point. Reality is always toocomplex to be completely summed upIn any one formula, however widelydrawn, and the real development hasan unpleasant knack of falsifying theprophecies which seem most Justifiedunder the conditions of the present.

That is an argument especially dearto the hearts of the bourgeois criticsof Marxism, and no one can deny thatIt has a certain amount of truth.

It would certainly seem as if Marx-lam, like all oth r systems, weredoomed to disappear in a wider andhigher truth. That may be granted,and yet we may ask to be shown thetheory which is to take the place ofMarxism, and, till we see it and recog-nise it as such, are entitled to s aythat for us Marxism has not yet be-come superannuated.

As a matter of fact, in all questionsr which verge on the domain of phil-

osophy we are all apt to take plausibleanalogies as proof positive, to see onlythe simlllarities and to overlook thedifferences. Thus it comes about thatthe fact that Darwin's specific teach-lags are in many respects found to beno longer adequate is taken to be aI proof that Marxism is in the same

position. Now, certainly nothingcould be worse for the Social-Democ-

racy than to cling to theories which1 no longer correspond to the facts as

we know them. And, were that true.

the German party, as the most power-

ful Social-Democratic party, would be

e exposing not only themselves but the

- entire Social-Democratic movement to

-great danger were they to continue toe act on such theories.

Now, without going into all the the-

ories of Marxism, what is it that really

forms the center of the battle betweenr the Marxists and their opponents, at

least as far as the greater public is

concerned? It is the theory of the

class war. When we ask whether theV German Social-Democratic party have

given up the clais war, we ask ife they are stark, staring mad or not?Iney are miars. taring IUa or noL

In no country in the world is the cla

war so brutally fought by the bour-

golsle as in Germany. What the work-

ers have won there they have won bytheir own organised effort, that is to

may, had the workers not shown their

teeth they would not have won suchfew concessions as they have won.There is no bourgois party to whom

they can look for any help at all. The

only possible party for the workers is

the kooeal-Democratic party-the po-litical expression of the proletarian

class-conscious ness. No doubt large

numbers, the majority, even of the or-

Sanlsed workers, have very little

e knowledge of the actual thearies ofMarx, still less could they give an in-

s telllgible account of them; but theyit feel in their persons every day what

Marx proved In his way as the Inevit-e able result of the present social order

e -the fact of the clam war. They

know that they are an oppressed

clam and that Socialism shows them

d the way to get rid of their oppressors.

Not the Intellect but the proletariatd Instinct brings the masses to Socialism

and it is the duty of the Socialist partyr to transform this instinctive feeling of0 the workers Into the clear knowledge

'. of the class-conscilou proletarit.

The whole efforts of the so-calledRevisionism are consciously or uncon-4 sciously directed towards the task of

a toning down the distinction between. proletariat and bourgolle; to bring

5 the former to look on certain sectionsI- of the bourgolsle as their friends, or

4 to impregnate the proletariat with theI- spirit of bourgols culture-with uni-

r- versity extension lectures on history.

'l e Co-operatlve Commonwealth WillAdjust the Anxious Question of Pro.viding Patwults for Children.

Hardly a day passes that some wo-man, borne down with anxiety, puts aquestion that more often than notproves a poser. "What shall I dowith my boys?, or. what shall I dowith my girls?" Trade after trade,business after business is brought for-ward and discussed. The possibilitiesare analyzed, the chane,.s of promo-

tion in this one or that one arethreshed out, thei cost of aplpr*.ntice-

f ship. and proba'bl, return in wages

are looked into. but in the majorityP of cases the discusslon proves futile,

and the child accepits the first offerthat comes along and starts life in atrade or business for which he or she

has neither liking nor ability. As anatural conseque.nce w** lind. no mat-ter in what part of the world we mayturn, round pegs trying to accommo-date themselves into square holes andvice versa. We find boys who havethe faculty of construction well de-veloped, and who would make excel-lent mechanics, wearing out their

lives on office stools or behind coun-ters; boys who are fitted by naturefor travel and adventure, poisoning

their blood in some musty, dustywarehouse; boys who, were they giv-en a chance, would make excellent

journalists, or even artists, workingas errand boys or paper runners, or insimilar occupations. Again we areoften confronted with girls of un-doubted maternal and domestic in-stincts, standing behind some draper's

counter exposed to vitiated atmo-sphere and conditions which are gen-erally detrimental to the physical wellbeing of the future mothers of ourrace, for the sake of a few paltryshillings per week. Some girls ares......us per weeK. someh girs are

fitted to be creators of the daintyconfections in dress that women love.their senses love Cainty and fragilethings, they do not find pleasure indomestic labors, but necessity acts asa compelling force and as a resultmany a gifted embryo milliner ordressmaker has been lost to the worldand have passed their days in uncon-gtri}.^.oil in some second-rate hotelor boarding house.

Now, Socialism teaches that it is

mere waste of good stuff and valuable

time to attempt to tit these round pegs

into square sockets.

In effect it says that every child

born of its mother has certain char-

acteristics which, In a properly organ-

Ised society, would be encouraged and

developed. Thus, during early in-fancy the parental care would be suf-

ficient, but as soon as the child was

old enough to attend school its grow-ing capabilities should ht watched

and trained, and opportunity should

be provided to give them full vent.

Thus by the time the elementary

school days were ended, the teachers

would IeN able to say. with a fair

amount of certainty, as to what call-

nsg or line of life each child was best

fitted for. There need be no chance

at all about it. llPhrnological and pIhv--

Iologlcal science can sp-eak with au-

thority today upon this point, andwith advancing knowledge its voices

wil become even more positive and its

calcul.tions more accurateBut says one: What is the use of

finding out the capabilities of ourthlldrtn when E very trade and calling

is so overcrowded that it is futile to

look for permanency of employm .nt

in any trade ?

That is just where the sho.s pinches. It Is useless for ione to at-

tempt to disguise the truth. So longas we are content to put up with the

hopelessly chaotic method of busl-

ness that pertains today, so long shall

we have to face the problem of un-

certainty of elmploymni at. Look artuind

This, of course, necessitates the na-tionalisation of Industrlt., not of oneor two industries, but all, and the sub-stitutlon of a scientific orderly sys-ternm of production for use for thepresent chaotic wasteful and unethi-cal system of production for profit.For the sake of the children's futureall women should adopt Socialism andwork towards this end.-WestrallanWorker, Australia.
