The Growth of Socialism.
Atlanta Journal.
;* , T ^ e strength which the Social
ists have developed in the conveu-
tiou of the American Federation
oi oaocr ut Now Orleans is mere
ly one of the rising evidences of
the growth of socialist principles
in this country.
The elections held a few weeks
ago gav9 a very impressive report
on this subject. It now appears
that the full returns from these
elections will bring the total So-
cialist vote up to something like
8o0,000. Of these from 40,000 to
60.000 were given to the Socialist
labor party. The rest belong to
the Socialist party, which is the
outgrowth of the Social Democra
cy founded by Eugene V. Debs, in
1900. The New York branch of
the party still calls itself the So-
cial Democratic party.
The Socialist vote increased
largely but by no means so nota
bly as in some other states. It,
increased in Massachusetts no less
than 800 per cent, over last year,
The Socialist vote was only
6.000 in Pennsylvania in 1900
This year it went considerably
over 20,000. In Ohio the Social-!
ist vote reached 1,600, an increase!
of more than 2t)0 per cent.; Illi
nois cast about 25,000 Socialist'!
votes against 9,867 two years ago;<
Kentucky shows au increase on
about 400 per cent.; Iowa 150 t|
200, arid other states a corres-j
ponding increase.
The growth of Socialism iu this'
country undoubtedly is due tj
the increase of plutocracy and
monopoly.
It is a natural result cf the
growing belief that great aggregni
tions of wealth, powerful corpora]-
tions with special privileges!
trusts and monopolies have acquir
ed a power which is inimical t<
the liberties and rights of the peo;
pie, and that the government
does not restrain these influence!
and agencies within proper limij
tahions of law.
However much we may despise
Socialism there is nq escape from
this conclusion.
Abdul Hamid, Sultan of Tur
key, has just celebrated his 60tta
birthday. Thirty-four Othmaiis
have reigned in Turkey and tlje
longest reign was less than fifty
years, Solyman I having sat upo’n
the throue from 1520 to 1566.
Only one Sultan in the nineteen
th century, only one in the eigh
teenth and only one in the seven
teenth ruled longer than Abdul,
and most of his predesessora haye
been slain or put in chains before
their friends were able to wish
them many happy returns of
their 60bh birthday.

As a result of the recent steam
ship combination, under the ma
nipulation of Mr. Morgan, there
is to be a general weeding-out of
clerks and minor officials of the
Atlantic Transport Company at
Baltimore, Prnbably a majority
of the clerks will go, and those
minor officials retained will find
their salaries reduced. That is the
way the trusts work. They in
crease the cost of living and re
duce the number of opportunities
for earning a livelihood as well as
the earning capacity of the work
ers.—Savannah News.

In the middle of the Colorado
desert, a little to north of the
Mexican border and 264 feet be
low the level of the sea, lies a
field of crystalized salt more than
a thousand acres in extent, pre
senting a surface as white as
snow, and beneath the noonday
glare of the sun so dazzling that
the naked eye cannot stand its
radiance.
If trusts will persist in over
capitalization, let taxes be assess
ed on the property at the valua
tion placed upon it by the trusts.
If the property of a trust is worth
$1,000,000,000 for bonding and
stocking, it ought to be worth
$1,000,000,000 for the purpose of
taxation.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

Changes Election Date.
i
1 Atlanta vBii
; The bill providing for a change
in the time of holding the state
election stipulates “that the time
of holding the election for govern
or, secretary of state, comptroll
er general, scats treasurer, attor
ney general, commissioner of agri
culture, state school commission
er, prison commissioners, mem
bers of the general assembly,
judges of the supreme and superi
or courts, solicitors general and
ordinaries, sheriffs, clerks of su
perior courts, tax collectors, tax
receivers, county treasurers, coun
ty surveyors, coroners aud all oth
er officers elected on the first
Wednesday in October by the peo
ple shall be elected on Tuesday
before the first Monday in Novem
ber of the year in which, under
the constitution and laws of this
state, elections should be held, to
fill offices, begirining on Tuesday
after the first Monday iu Novem
ber, 1904, and biennially thereaf
ter.”
In the original bill, pruyiding
for a change in the time of meet
ing of the legislature, it was
sought to have the general assem
bly convene on the second Tues
day iu January, bub the general
judiciary committee unanimously
adopted a substitute changing the
time to June, and recommended
that the bill in that shape be
passed. According to the require
ments of the bill the* present leg
islature will meet again next sum
mer instead of the fall of 1908,
as it would under the presut law.
In the past efforts have been
made to oliauge the time for hold
ing the sessions of the legislature
from the fall to the summer, but
up to this time bills looking to
that end have failed of passage.

The Woman’s Christian Tem-
perence Union selected Milwaukee
as the place for its next national
convention. It is probable that
a change will have to be made in
the arrangements and another
city substituted. An investiga
tion discloses the fact that con
nected with every hall in the Wis
consin city there is a booth devot
ed to dispensing, the beverage
that “made Milwaukee famous.”
Aud of course the W. C. T, U.
will not hold its convention in
auy hall with a bar attachment.

The Boston Globe utters these
words of wisdom: “Honest busi

happiness in the end. It produces
the best type of successful men.

The successful man who has not

world long after the grasping pos
sessor of ill-gotten wealth is for
gotten.”

“The world always knew there
was a difference in teachers, but
it was a long time in finding out
that a poor teacher was doing
harm, and not good, injsociety.”
So said Dr. W. H. Ruffner thirty
years ago. He spoke too early.
The world—or at least our part of
it—has not yet found it out.

Gen. William Booth of the Sal
vation Army says that New York
and Chicago are the wickedest
cities in the world, and they are
growing worse and worse. This
would seem to bear out the obser
vation of Sam Jones, that the bad
place is only half a mile from
Chicago.
Official statistics show that dur

Rheumatism of 17 Years Cured.
People who have been cured sound the
praise of Ubiosol. Mrs. Mary E. Hart
well, wife of the treasurer of Los Angel

sincere appreciation of your remedy.
After seventeen years of constant afflic
tion, oftentimes lielpless with swollen
feet and hands, I used six bottles of
Ubicsol, and now, after two years’ re
lease, gratefully acknowledge a perma
nent cure.” Druggists sell it at $1.00
per bottle, or six bottles for $5.09.
