Seek you quiet. rural solitude— isolation? You wil find it just around the corner, almost anywhere within ten minues’ walk of the heart of the city; and half an hour's walk will take you to where the moun tain qual dust themselves in de serted roads. But of all the charming retreats within the city’s radius, the stretch of quiet, isolated beach over in West Seattle appeals to us most.

Labo r—constructive effort, I. W. W. pr big Rage sincere work, understanding °4™¢ the quicker would the and efficient performance of workers starve, the quicker would their children die in their beds, and their houses either be burned, or be filled with pesti- lence. We do not discuss here the proper wage, or hours, or work- ing conditions of that part of la- bor that chiefly uses its hands. Nor do we here exalt those workers who use their wits, their brains, their earned increment in- stead of their muscles. What we wish to point out is that practically everybody works, and when everybody quits work, everybody at the same instant starts to slide down into the pit of despair. We might add that the chief reason that portion of the world that works with its brains and its money so frequently gets the best of the workers who work with their backs, is that these bright fellows take no holidays; their wits and their dollars keep work- ing without a vacation. The Bolshevik dream is NOT bad because tt is opposed to gov- ernment, because it throws bombs, because it defiles the flag, because it violates motherhood, and puts a premium on inde- cency. Those are minor effects. The trouble with the so-called new doctrine is that it replaces labor with loafing; it would achieve prosperity by resolution; it would give everybody a holiday and expect things to do them- selves. Things do not do them- selves, and a nation starts on the toboggan when it starts to loaf. Work, with hands, and with our resources and with our capi- tal, and equipment—work is the only thing that enables the world to keep revolving, and us to keep alive on top of it. Better that every man, no mat- ter how rich, be forced to work a certain number of hours each day, than that any considerable number of us get the idea that loafing en masse will solve our pr oblems. And the worst enemy the worker has today is the fellow who advises him to quit work- ing and to take up oratory. duty—is the final vital thing in the universe. The idea that God worked six days and left things to chance forever after is as wrong as the idea that labor can get to heaven by loafing. Divine law never quits work- ing for a second. If it did, suns would crash into other suns, worlds would flare up and van- ish. God is no Bolshevik. The Star, this Labor Day, wants to impress this truth on Seattle because Seattle needs it. Some of us have the idea that there is a new Utopia coming, where there will be no work. If that day ever comes, if every worker in the world quits work, even for a day, you will have chaos, anarchy, DEATH. Phe only reason a portion of Seattle can celebrate Labor Day is because other portions of the citizenry keep on the job. You have your newspaper be- cause some of us worked last night, and yesterday, and today. You get to your picnics be- cause street car men stay on the job. You get food and medicine and running water and light and the other necessities because thousands of workers keep right on working. If labor ever takes a real vaca- tion; if the farmer quits, and the sailor on the high seas quits, and the doctors and nurses and drug clerks and butchers and city em- ployes and firemen—all workers everywhere—stop for a week, most of us will either starve or be murdered in our beds. Work, honest work, is the basis of all progress, of all existence, and these new doctrines that would replace work with ora- tory, and effort w ith confiscation, injure all of us. But chiefly they ruin the laborer. For while labor feeds and fat- tens a few capitalists, it mostly feeds itself. : The only reason a strike is ever successful is because a lot of workmen keep on the job. The I. W.

It is the history of Germany’s side’in the war, told by one most closely in touch with the events of that period in the central powers—a chron- icle for which the world has waited since the gage of battle was hurled by the Hun in 1914, Whatever views one may hold of Germany de- feated, of the men who dictated her policies and directed her campaigns, the fact remains beyond _ dispute that Ludendorff towered above his Prussian fellows in the strife for world domina- tion, and that none is better fitted to analyze and record the circumstances which led to the” struggle, the bitter campaigns that ended in in- glorious defeat, and the inwardness of the Ger- man spirit as Germans interpret it. This remarkable narration, without parallel in the history of the press, will be presented to the readers of The Star in serial form beginning Sept. 8
