RAILROADS AND THE STATE
From John W. Draper'S "Tho"ghts on
the future Ciril Policy Of america,

From John W. Druper'S "1hOughts on
the Jnture Ciril Policy Of america.
Of education | shall have nothing
more to say, for all intelligent persons
concur in the belief that it is abso-
lutely necessary to the perpetuity of the
American system,
The public value of locomotion is by
no means so we'll understood. While
legislation has in all direction been
brought to bear on the protection, en-
enlargement and development of the
former, the latter, it may be said has
been altogether neglected from ma
tional point of view. Talleyrand, when
| speaking of the United States to the
Emperor Napoleon, made this remark;
1T is giant without bones But since
| his day the bones have begun to grow,
and they are bones of iron. Now, since
there is an increasing tendency to the
modification of the human system by the
operation of climate, and evils ensue
| both by a community coming into re-
pose or political stagnatlon, and by the
antagOnisms that arise between confer
mnous communities that have thus
passed into different States, it ~ very
plain that the thing of primary import
ance to be accomplished is, to prevent
such climate actions reaching their full
effect This can only be done by pro-
noting lOcomotiOn. The Gus
| toms and usages of American domestic
| life have, to certain extent, made us
| locomotive people. *lt is well for
our future that we are so. 1t should be
settled principle of American legisla-
ton to encourage in every possible man
ner facilities for intercommuniCation.
From the results of this policy in the
case of the post office system, very valu
able suggestions may be gathered. By
reducing the cost of the transmission Of
letters and papers to the smallest pos
| sible amount, conspicuous social advant-
ages have been gained. The family tie
has been knit in spite of separation, the
public intellect has been enlarged, and
| that mental activity arising from the
| concentration of masses of men in great
| cities is felt sympathetCally in the most
| sparsely peopled and distant country
| places. But it is not enough that there
| should be free movement for thought;
free movement for the people themselves
is of equal importance. Ex-
| perience shows that travel increases as
its cost diminishes. Whatever, there
fore, operates as a tax on lOcomotion is
inconsistent with the highest principle of
State p Icy. In America, transporta-
ton at the lowest possible cost assumes
the attitude of an affair of the highest
State necessity. In view of that
State necessity, all local and individual
interests must be compelled to give way.

The recent case Of the three women

SOCIALIST RATIFICATION.

A Real Labor Meeting.

Cheers for the Socialist Labor Party
A Real Labor Meeting.
Clarendon Hall was filled to overflow
ing last Wednesday night by the Social
lists and their friends, to ratfy the NOM
nations of the Socialist Labor Party.
Mr. Lindner called the meeting to
order and nominated Mr.. Harry White
for chairman, who was elected by &C
clamation. Comrade Stahl. of the City
Committee acted as Secretary.
The chairman, after few earnest
words, in acceptance of his office, intro
duced Mr., J. F. Bushe as the first speak
err, who said that he considered the So
cialist Party the greatest political party
in the world-in principles, in the ex-
tent of its organization and its objects,
even though it was numerically small in
this city. But it will gain members
after election, for many who have never
seen it before will see our Incompatible
platform, for wherever Socialist prnci-
pies go they make converts. The speaker
explained the advantages of the Socialist
plan of nominating candidates, ridiculed
the pretensiOns of the politicians who
were running the capitalist side shows
of single tax free trade and "Coogan,'
and closed by calling for the reading of
a resolution which the chairman held in
his hand.
The chairman then read the following:
RESOLUTION.
Whereas, We believe that the emanc-
patton of the wage-wOrkers is the real
object of the labor movement. and
Whereas, This object stipulates the
possession by the people, industrially
organized, of all capital, land, and the
means of production, factories etc, as
common property, and
Whereas, The Socialist Labor Party is
the only political party which exists for
this purpose, and openly and plainly
indicates its position in favor of these
measures in its platform,
Resolred, That we, as workingmen and
citizens, heartily endorse the platform of
the Socialist Labor Party, and as an
earnest of our reliance upon said party
and its principles, agree to vote for its
nominees.
Being put to "A vote, it was unani-
mously adopted, and member of the
audience calling for three cheers for
Socialism, they were Justify given,
The next speaker was Alexander
Jonas, the Party nominee for Mayor.
He was greeted with great applause as
he stepped forward. He said at first
that he was not in favor of going into
political action this year; but since the
labor movement had been soiled by a
Doodle party, he decided in taking active
part in the election in order to show
that there was still labor party that
was above corruption. Repulses cannot
frighten socialists-that is, repulses in
the ordinary sense of not electing their
candidates. The socialists are marching
forward, despite all opposition toward
their goal. and they must finally con-
