SOCIALISM AND AN ANTI-SOCIALIST SPOOK In another column is printed a communication from a gentleman in Clarkson, Md., who seems to bo a most vigorous anti-socialist. Of what would be the final result of the doctrines of socialism put. into actual practice he seems to have a clear conception, hut this spectre ap pears to have so frightened him that he sees spooks In all things. To condemn the public school system, because the socialists endorse, it, is like the Indian who atood so straight that he leaned over the other way. Socialism Is impossible and wrong because It. would destroy all per sonal liberty. This socialists deny, but under the principles of govern ment they advocate this would be Inevitable. Where all ’the means of production and distribution are owned by the public It would necessarily follow In the end that the liberty of the individual must be lost; and, tinless anarchy, supervened, the mass of the people must become slaves to obey tho command of the bosses. Suppose that Socialism were established, and the factories, farms, mills and shops now privately owned were owned by the government and managed by those who operated them, and nobody could work ex cept It he for the government which, briefly and fairly stated, is the socialist Idea. What would follow? All would apply for the work that was easiest done, and nobody would apply to do the hard and disagree able work which yet Is obliged to be done. It would become neces sary for some one to have authority to choose the parties for each kind of work, and this would mean that every man would be subject to work at the command of the boss for the time being, and at such work as designed hy him. The present preacher, because he was a large man or perhaps because the boss had It In for him, would be put to cleaning out ditches, and the present doctor, because It was decided that less doc tors were needed, would be put to work In the cotton mill. This is the logical conclusion of the theory of socialism reduced to practice, and It Is Incomprehensible that good and intelligent, men, as many of the "comrades” certainly are, should be ao blinded as to fail to see It. But because the evils of communism and the destruction of indi vidualism are so great, it does not follow that undiluted Individualism would he a great blessing. This would In fact be as bad as socialism, and either would mean anarchy. It requires a mixture of tho two to constitute the perfect social system. The cause of right Is always the mlddh ground between any two extremes. To condemn the public school system, because it is similar to the socialist ideal and for that reason approved by them, is absurd. As well condemn our public postal system, our weather bureau or any other branch of the government service. To find the proper mean between individualism and communism so ns to place on the right level the relationship of man to man Is the great soclnl problem. And towards this the world is moving. Hy the process of evolution government has developed from patriarchal absolu tism through successive stages of inonarchial tyranny to the present form of constitutional government, and this process of evolution into a belter form Is at 111 going on. "The slavery of socialism” will never be on us. The-Intelligence of the world has reached n stage to make this fear causeless. There will be no revolution as a prelude for society "to be built up all over again.” The process of evolution now going on will preveut that. The present agitation Is but the ripples of this process of evolution which will make our government still better than It is, and more adapt ed so twentieth century conditions than It has been. MORE ABOUT LITTLE JOE’S JEANS SUIT A great man once cried out. in anguish of soul to be delivered from his fool friends. Little Joe Brown, soon to be made governor, is prob ably doing the same, In the unseaming modest manner for which he has become famous. Home time ago the announcement was made that he was to he diked out for his Inauguration in a suit of Georgia made jeans. This bring such an extraordinary thing it: caused considerable notice, and many pleasant little references were made to it. Then came the Macon Telegraph, which orlginatd and persistently (luriiu the campaign sent up the howl for Brown and Bread, (and hy rca n of this performance lays the flattering unction to its soul that It elected Little Joe and therefore has a sort of a proprietary right over him l ami severely/ lambasted those papers which had referred to the jeans suit In a lighter vein, denouncing this as "the rattling of dry bones at a ghost dance," and with a solemnity like unto one who had soon a ghost declaring that such a suit was "nice enough for a king.” and quoting Little Joe to the effect that "not In pomp or undue pride, but In the line with true progress, I whl take pride In wearing tho best sutt of clothes t list can be built ill my state.” And now comes the Martelta Journal. It didn't join In the dema gogic howl of "Brown and Bread” during the campaign and therefore does not now feel that It has proprietary rights over Little Joe which to exhibit require It to make a show of feeling offended over a little good natnred Joking. But It Is the staunch friend of the governor eloet, very close to him as Its towsman and neighbor, and In a ceri tain sense his personal orguu. And the Journal says; Little Joe (Brown Is not particularly anxious to wear jeans at his Inauguration as governor, but the suit was tendered by a Cobb count! factory, and out of courtesy to tho gentleman who owns it, he accepted the proffer. Toll It not In Gath; publish It not In the streets of Askelon. Men tion It not above u whisper, t.hnt the Maconite may not hear It. ‘‘Little Joe not particularly anxious” to wear that suit of jeans; in fact the very Idea Is repugnant to him, but because it "was tendered” him by some body whom he could not well refuse, “out of courtesy" only and over bis mental protest “lie accepted the proffer" and will wear the suit. What becomes of the exalted patriotism which led him to announce that he would wear the suit of Georgia Joans 9 What of the declaration put in hl» month that 'I will take pride in wearing” this suit? What of tlu’ democratic spirit It was claimed to express? What of the hold challenge of The Telegraph that “there Is a difference between patriot- Ism and demagogy " Little Joe not particularly anxious to wear this suit of Jeans; wearing It only because he hadn't the moral courage to turn down n proposition that was not agreeable to him, and hts loud mouthed, sdf appointed champion declaring In effect that If it wasn't patriotism which led to this unconventional Inauguration costume It was demagogy, Well may Little Joe cry out; “Save me from my friends.” THE RAM OF THE MODERN WARSHIP As everybody knows, the armor-clad warships of the present order are each provided with a rati). The Philadelphia Record has devoted some inquiry and research to the subject, and lets the public into the discoveries thereto which It has made ft says: / A modern ram Is nothing more than a huge steel beak, or split, which Is fitted to the prow of tho battleship for the pprpose of de- KtrevliiK an enemy's ship In time of war b( the force of colllslof In deed, should a vessel succeed In driving her ram against another war ship the blow If delivered at full speed, would bo sufficient to crush ill the ship's side and sink her Immediately. A battleship’s ram weighs about fort) tons and Is cast all in one piece It is of solid steel and capable of striking a tremendous blow. V bpll proof man of war may be made but the skill of the naval architect Is unequal to the task of designing a ship that can resist tho ram. ‘Great care must he exercised In fixing such a heavy piece of steel. The method geuueally adopted Is as follows: The ram 1s suspended from a strong derrick, tho bottom end of which Is attached to ‘he extreme end of the vessel's keel plate The gap between the ram and the un complete luill is sailed tight compartment. The weapon Pxed that it s tikes Just below the armored holt where resistance is muakest. while ll is so shaped that the ramming vessel can by reversing her en glues. easily dTsentagte herself from the ship she has struck" AH this Information is very Interesting, and it would have been still more Interesting to have told the cost of these rams Such Ini mouse pieces ol forged ste.q must cost quite a neat price to mate' and still more to handle and put In their places on the ships If the figures were given the) would probably show that these great rams on our warships contain steel enough to put up several skyscrapers, aitfl that their cost would go far in that direction. And this for rains that ase of no practical use That thoy oould deliver a powerful blow may bo true enough, but the fact is they never do Not since tb( battle of Liseu was fought. In which the Austrian ships rammed the Italian and won the fight, have ships been rammed In battle, and the Austrian ship- which did this were not Iron clads and carried no rams Modern battleships, when they fight at all fight at long range. They remain a mile or two apart, and what few actions at sea hare taken place since modern warships were built have all been decided In that manner of fighting Tin n Is no reason to believe that It will be differ ent In any future battle that may be fought. The warships will have no more use for rums than the men have r grappling irous to hold ships together while the crew of one capture the o*ber by a boarding attack. Yet a costly, cumbersome rmu is built Into each ship. It shows bow hard It Is to break away from old customs estab lished when' there was a reason for It, but which are aow useless. THE AUGUSTA HERALD RETURN OF THE IMMIGRATION TIDE It May Not Be Altogether a Blessing, But Indicates a Return of Prosperity Last year the number of passengers coming to America was 635,000. against 1,683,000 the year before. The number leaving America was 859,000, or about 90,000 more than the year before. More people went back than ■came over. The tremendous falling off of incoming travel was due, of ! course, to the large emigration of foreign working people who, accord ing to the Review of Reviews, "al ways flock back to the old country befose and during a period of Indus trial depression." The earnings of the great Atlantic steamship companies bore witness to the effects of the slump. German and American lines passed their dividends and even the proud old English ships withheld all returns from stockhold ers. However, the reaction set in about three months ago. The inevitable improvement in business turns the tide of travel towards these shores. Whatever may be the effect, ten thou sand immigrants reached New York In a single day during the latter part of March. Italy furnishes about one third of the immigration and Austria- SOCIALISM A MENACE Editor Herald: The Patriarch, 1320 Arcade Way, Seattle, Washing ton, gives In its issue of June sth a long article from you, headed, “J. A. Wayland a Martyr.” You neglected to state that he is now under arrest by the federal authorities. Ml. Wayland's decliue in no way affects Socialism. It is going on en slaving men’s minds quite effectually in all parts of the land. Rich men and ministers are becoming its stand ard bearers, white multi-millionaires like Rockefeller and politicians like Roosevelt do more for its spread than the "comrades” themselves. But Secretary Meyer of the navy, has just roused to its spread in that department and drastic measures are proposed for its weeding out. Some time ago I sought to inform the au thorities of the Socialists in the navy, but, the Washington papers de nied me the opportunity. The public schools of the land are pointed / by Socialists as the great breeders of Socialists. They say the child that receives his education at the bands of the state is prepared to ask for everything else from the state ftlso, and we see to what an extent this is now done. To break with Sooialism the coun try must break with its idol of popu lar education first of all, then It must break with fraternalism in ev erv form that it possibly oaj>. If the country loves Its Idols too well to do this; then the slavery of Socialism will be on us for a short time until revolution clears it away. After that society will have to be built up all over again. The Patriarch believes with me on education and Socialism. FRANCIS B. LIVESEY, Clarkson. Maryland. GOOD TIMES COMING There are many othrfr signs of good times coming and In largo part al ready here. The farming population, which Is naif of the country, is en joying extremely favorable markets. Wages are tending upward again. Real estate is rising. The financial resources of the country were never before so great. Gold accumulates and bank reserves are ample. There is much confidence in tho future of trade and Industry, and there was never loss danger of evil in govern mental issues or political unrest. Clearly, the country is moving ou wurd into a period of great business growth and prosperity. It Is going to mark up new records by wholesale imd keep on doing that sort of thing for several years, at least, before the next serious setback. —Cleveland Leader.

Kept up nominally jin the interest of the working man, it may flood the country with the so- I called "pauper labor of Europe.” This j phase of the tariff question has been ! discussed several times in The Press. !So the return of the foreign tide to ! these shores may not be altogether a blessing, but it is assuring in this one thing that it indicates a return of business prosperity. In that way we may look with complacence, even with satisfaction, upon the inward flow of “stranger people” from the old world. It is a fact, however, that the tide of summer tourists to Europe is not as great as it was. People return ing to Savannah from Europe report that tlv big ships are not, carrying the crowds that they used to haul across the sea.—Savannah Press. SOME INHERITANCE FIGURES Probate H. H. Rogers’ will offers a fairly clear idea of the money lost to the national government by the want of a Federal inheritance tax. The will leaves trust funds totaling $560,- 000 to relatives outside of Mr. Rog ers’ personal family. New York will tax these 5 per cent, or $27,000. Of $400,000 bequeathed to the members of Mr. Rogers’ brother’s family, the executors will pay the state 5 per cent, or $20,000. The $10,000,000 m vestment in building the Virginian railway and the SIOO,OOO given the town of Fairhaven, Mass., for public purposes are, exempt. Subtracting these four items already noted, the residue passing to Mr. Rogers’ widow, son and daughters, and taxable at 1 per cent, will be about $50,000,000, and the taxes payable mostly to New York state, but a little to Massachu setts, will be $500,000. Thus the to tal inheritance tax due from this mon umental fortune is $647,000, the two states cited, New York and Massa chusetts, receiving all. Had Mr. Rogers lived another year and had the senate accepted the pro vision for a Federal inheritance tax in the Payne tariff bill, the presi dent’s approval of this feature be coming a certainty last March, the national government’s levy upon the Rogers estate would have been sl,- 500,000. This is an averaged charge of 2 1-2 per cent on an assessed valua tion of $60,000,000, the basis of the foregoing figures. Double taxation in name truly enough It would still be no excep tional hardship to let the states col lect their share and also lay the government taxes. Mr. Rogers’ heirs would then forfeit $2,047,000 of $60,- 000,000. The Morrison heirs in Eng land will pay the Imperial treasury $10,000,000 out. of sso,ooo,ooo.—Balti more Sun. *♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ POINT AND COUNTERPOINT* ♦ ♦ Hasn’t Right Calibre Gun.
