MONTANA NEWS, HELENA, MONTANA. The Red Flag of Brotherhood. What, banner it flung to the fair morn- ing breeze— A challenge to tyrants, defiance to wrongl It laughs mid the flowers, tt flames from the trees, The nations behold it and break into song. The rod flag of brotherhood, Long may it wave O'er a wide world of freemen, The good and the brave. How lovely its color—it brightens the gleam Of the glad fare of nature and sweetens her smile. It rippels and swells o'er the answer- ing stream, With ita glory resplendent for mile upon mile. The rod flag of brotherhood, Long may it wave O'er a world never cursed With the moan of a alave. O, brothers, look up; tis your banner that flyeth. O, raise the glad shout to the ends of the earth. Tim the Poeam of nationa; the labor curse dyeth. The Hope of Humanity travaila to birth. Aad the red flag of brotherhood Joyously waves, O 'er the triumph of love, O'er the bitter paat's graves. —IDA CROUCH HAZLETT. •wwvw* wwwwwwvww National News * The New York state convention will be held June 2.

Massachusetts haa 100 locals in good •tan.hug The Finninsh comrades of Hibbing, Minn propose to build an opera house Mating several thousand dollars, in or- der that they may have a permanent aseeting place. Comrade Krod Schwartz, the county organizer of Allegheny county, Penn., the county in which Pittsburg and the great steel works are situated, sends out a stirring appeal for systematic action. Among other things he says: "Candidates for every office in this county have been nominated, also candidates in every one of the con- greesiona, state, senatorial and legis- lative districts. Comrades, aa our campaign is one of education, it fol- lows that we must begin right now. Ia fact, our campaign never ceases, hut we must put forth every energy to enlighten our fellow-workers. Thous- ands and thousands of pieces of liter- ature must be distributed, but it must be a judicious distribution. "The police of Pittsburg are making an attempt to obliterate free speech. This shows what a 'good old reform administration' ia. "But it is not likely that the social- ists will quit—not muchl We know why, hut it won't do any harm to prater Mayor Guthrie with a lot of letters and ask him why he is trying to stop our meetings." The socialist movement in receiving an unprecedented impetus. It looks aa though the working class was be- ginning to catch on to the game that has been practiced upon them. Dr. Oeorge Maxim, Russian revolutionist, and member of the socialist party, up on his arrival in New York, wherr he made his first appearance to speak, waa met by such thousands of people that the doors of the Orand Central palace had to he locked, and he was compelled to address an immense over- flow meeting.

The state convention of South Da- kota will bo held at Sioux Falls, June ffth. A monster meeting was held at Wal lace, Idaho, addressed by Comrade Her- man F Titus. This is thn very cen- ter of tho famous bull-pen district. The capacity of the hall in which the meet- ing was held is 400, and nearly as many Were turned away. David C. Coatos presided. The collection amounted to $107, $50 of which waa applied to tho defense fund, and $15 to the national agitation fund. Tho Khode laland socialist conven- tion WHS held May 3, at Woonsoeket, National Organizer Sol. Fieldman be- ing present, a full state ticket was placed in the field. "The Statesman," the avowed mouthpiece of the prosecution at Boise, Idaho, is now asking its read- ers not to listen to friends of the ac- cuaed and not to read anything that is favorable to Moyer, Heywood or Pet- tibone. Fine electrotypes, photo size of Com- rades Moyer and Haywood can be se- cured at the national office, price 75 cents each, delivery free. The national committee pamphlet on the Colorado-Idaho kidnapping outrage is ready for shipment, price $1 per thousand, delivery free. This is a doc- ument replete with facts and givea in brief the history of the contest between the mine owners and the workers. It is a document which should be placed in the hands of every workingman. It should be distributed by the millions. Every local should distribute them. Order now. The Wisconsin state convention will be held in Milwaukee June 2. The branchea of the state have been call ed upon to make nominations f o r a state ticket. From these nominations the convention will choose a state tic ki t Each branch will have one dele gate-at-Iarge and one additional dele gate for every 100 votea or major fraction thereof in the respective ward or township of the branch. Comrade Barney Berlyn, of Chicago, one of the oldest and most active so- cialists in the nation, is seriously ill with an affection of the eyoa. He has been a member of the national execu tive committee for many years, and even hia temporary retirement from service would be felt as a great loss to party activity. The mother of Comrade T>ebs paased away at the age of 77( at her home in Terre Haute. She leaves a husband and four children, two sons, Eugene and his brother, Theodore, and two daughters, all of Terre Haute, to mourn her loss. The sympathy of socialists throughout the country will be extended to Comrade Debs i n his bereavement. In Racine, Wis., the Bohemian so- cialists daily has more subscribers than the Bohemian capitalist paper. The Toledo Socialist haa issued a beautiful souvenir pamphlet of the May Day festival held in Toledo. It contains various valuable data on May Day, the Socialist party, "The Mar- Hcillaise," pictures of Marx, Engels, and Liebknecht. and other matter to make i t a very atractive souvenir. At the protest meeting against the Idaho outrugc. held i n t h e < I rand Cen- tral palace in New York -city, a dis- tinguished personel in socialist circles filled the program. Madame Corky and Dr. Maxim Cregory were the chief speakers. Others were Hugh A. Pen- tecost, l.ucisn Snnial, Alexander Jones, John C. Chase, Morris Hilquit, Oeorge R. Kirkpatrick. Allegheny county, Penn., has a stren- uous way of insuring a good attendance of her county central committee. The delegates are notified by the secretar- ies as to the time of meeting. If they are not on hand at roll call they are marked absent, and those absenting themselves from three consecutive meetings are dropped from the rolls, and their locals notified to elect new delegates. International VWVWVWWWVW The workingmen held a great dem- onstration in Russia on -May 14, the Russian May Day according to the old calendar. Two hundred thousand men quit work, and joined tho demonstra- tions. Vice Admiral Kuzmich was as- sasinated for attempting to interfere with tho demonstrations. The Merman socialists are organizing the young boys too young to enter the army, with the object of preparing them tor activity in the trade union and socialist movements. A monthly magazine has been founded as the or gan of the movement. In the recent elections at Copenhagen 20,000 votes were polled for the so- cialist ticket as against 16,000 for the anti socialist, giving an increase of l.i>iiii votes. The socialists are still continuing to have victories in Britain. In the Shetlands three candidates were elect- ed on the school board. Reports from the recent elections in France show that the socialist party has made large gains. All the socialist member* of the chamber of deputies in Italy have re- signed aa a result of the refusal of the chamber to discuss the bill presented by their party, providing for the reg- ulation of the use of arms on the part of the police and troops. They have issued an address to the country. The chamber refused to accept the resigna- tion. The outrageous treatment inflicted upon Mille Spiridonova, who killed the chief of the military at Tamboff for the horrors he had dealt to the people, are stirring the whole civilized world to revolution against such nameless atrocities. She stands as one more with the heroines and heroes who are glad to lay down their lives for Rus- sian freedom. The seamstresses of Prague have brought things to a standstill through a strike. A few weeks ago 2,000 of them struck for a I per cent increase, extra pay for overtime, fixed wage tar- iff, 10-hour day, I o'clock closing on Saturdays and holidays and Sundays. Almost half the employers have yield- ed. Henry Meister, one of the oldest Merman socialists and the representa- tive of Hanover in the Reichstag, has recently died. He was one of the old- est survivors of the unions which La Salle founded ist deputy ever since 1R84, and was called the "King of Hanover." The Labor leader has an article on the strike in the French postofBce, in which strong evidence is shown that no socialist can be a member o f a capitalist government. It is said that unless the strike is ended to the sat- isfaction of the strikers or M. Briand, the socialist minister, retires from the government experience will teach that there can be no variations from this rule. The government uses a bitter hand against the strikers, and the so- cialists in the cabinet can do noth- ing. The New Zealand government has undertaken the business of retailing the coal obtained from the state mines. Every tenth customer calling at our store and buying two boxe* of Straw- berries, will receive 2 boxes for 10 cts during the week. KLEIN k BOURNE. Phone 30. THE ORIGINAL FLYING MACHINE Was not a success. Numerous ef- forts have since been made to perfect a machine that will carry men through the air at a rapid rate, but all have resulted in failure or partial success. Sensible mortal! who wish to make a swift yet comfortable and safe journey use the "North-Western Limited," leaving Minneapolis 8:00 p, m . St. Paul 8:35 p. m , and arriving Chicago 8:55 a. m. The route of this "perfect machino" is protected by block signals all the way, providing the greatest pos- sible safety. For information as to rates, service, etc., call on or address A. M. Fenton, general agent, Helena, Mont., o r T . W . Teasdale, O. P. A., St. Paul, Minn. All Socialists should subscribe for the News. (Continued from last week.) WOMAN'S INTEREST. But is woman altogether without blame in this matter? She has been flattered the one hand with phrases like this: "The hand that rocks the cradle shape* the destiny of the world," and, "The American women •re the wittiest, the most intelligent, and the most beautiful of all nations," and on the other hand she is made to belieM thai she is deficient in intellect, aad so not capable to assist in plan lag or .leading about municipal or oth- er government matters. She has been hypnotized, as it were, into the be lief that politics are so wonderfully Intricate, and so allowed herself to be placed below the negro, or even below the worthless bum. But suppose that we now wake up, brush aside Back though habits and tra- ditions, and put on our thinking caps, and do really think a little for our- selves, without borrowing a single thought or sentiment from those whose well paid business it is to be ever ready to supply us with ready prepared thoughts and ideas. So now in regard to this statement, "The hand that rocks the cradle shapes the destiny of the world," strip it of all lattery, and look only on the truth- ful aide and it might as well be ack- nowledged that woman can make of herself a most tremenduous influence; if she unites her power with others for any certain cause or object. And when she nin e realizes that most of her hap- piness and well being, as well as that of those near anil dear to her, her home and her country depends on politics, or rather the principle or lack of prin- ciple, with which politics control and shape the affairs of the individual, the home of the nation: when she once realizes this fact, then there can hard- ly anything arouse her just indigna- tion as when any hireling of whatever his calling would attempt to force up- on her any notions, to mislead or keep her in the dark any longer. Common Graft. , It is a common saying even amongst old parties that from the president down to the janitor every man is try- ing to do another. It it any surprise then to anyone, that under such in- fluence the present system of govern- ment i* one of exploitation, graft and grossest crimet Now, if we care at all about our hap- piness and the well-being of those whom we love, then we can no longer remain indifferent to certain unpalat I able truths, a few of which we will consider here today. There is, for in- stance, this svstem of profit to con- He had been a social " ' , r , tend with, adulterations in foodstuffs, shoddy clothing, and deceptions in most all and everything which we must buy and hand over our honestly gotten money for. Even such things as life- savers have proven to a most fright- ful degree that they were such only in name, and that they contained lead in- stead of cork; and because lead is cheaper than cork the manufacturers had no scruples for the sake of a few cents more profit, to cause thereby the drowning of over a thousand women and children on an excursion steamer. Baby Murdered. Let us take a glance into a house- hold. Mother sees her darling grow thin and pale: she takes the best of eare anil time and gives him the food that she believes would make him strong and healthy, but it proves death- I'aling instead. He smiles no longer Hp into her face and the icy fingers of h ath are closing around him and—yes, it is all over, the pure and innocent 3 GOING OUT OF BUSINESS 3 Owing to the fact that I. L. Israel wishes to retire from business, and his son, L. J.

The poor father had planned that on pay day, if per- chance he had work he would get some necessary piece of furniture or per- h ips some badly needed clothing for tho family. But, alas, he must pay the expenses for sorrow and death instead. Our sympathy may go out to this fam- ilv, but when similar cases nre occur- ring thousands uf times, it ir* quite common and we take it as a matter of course. Embalmed Milk. A few milkmen arc still honest. They try hard to make ends meet, take time to handle the milk in a cleanly man- ner and sell it unadulterated. Butthe majority of them seem to consider it out of the question under this com- petitive system, and so, left over milk u ith embalming fluid ntul other adul- terations are dealt out to tho public. \nd so with other food stuff, it is as- serted that manufacturers employ sal nied chemists to experiment as to what adulterations might profitably be mixed with various foods, nnd that while some nre comparatively harm less, others nre decidedly poisonous. The same unscrupulous methods go on in the packing homes aad salmon can- neries, where cattle and fish that have died beforehand are dressed, seasoned •ind, with a supply of chemicals, pack- ed and canned just the same as the meats that pass through tho proper killing process.
