against the defendant who is dealer in leaf to-
baeeo FOR emitting to make the proper entries In

crimiDally responsible.
The Commissioner held that the act made Il I'M

SoCIALIsM-The Socialiste principle
is very simple aud universal. Every man
who by riding in car or omnibus-thc
common carriage-sayes many times what
he would pay for a private carriage, or
who by sending his child to a public school
pays but a tenth of what he would pay for
a family teacher, avmls himself OF tic
Commuuistic principle. 1t is plain that
by common residence or common table
people might save money as we'll as by
having their carriage, their church, or
their art galleryin common aud nothing
can prevent the sprlnging up among the
poor of lodginghouses, workman's insti-
sutes and reaj'rc rooms, soup-kl ltchcns,
cooperative stores, aud the like, all OF
which are S0ciatstic. But Just so soon
as Communism aspired to abandon the
ordinary materials and implements of Sc
clcty 1t really left behind the only people
who required its aid, and the only people
who could have formed community. II
