AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE,

As for soclalism-well, the political intelligence of the average farmer-as representing large class of citizens has hardly been cultivated up to the point of discussing and deciding upon that philosophy. And the average far mer-the average citizen, you might say--is power in this country; his im- mobility is prodigious; his capacity for sticking fast in the old ruts is truly won derful. And until he has been awak. ened to the possibility of travelling by other and better roads, it is hardly worth while to excite oneself too much over the beauties-or horrors-of social ism. For the rest-and in all serious ness we say tive wish that our friends, the reformers, who have broken out of the old rut, would not insist on travel ing, each by himself, in his own ve- hicle, and in track of his own. It is all very fine, bright, wide-awake, inde- pendent, fearless and progressive-but the tracks don't seem to lead, by the shortest and easiest route, to any partic- ularly desirable place. And Nature, you know, insists upon our taking the short est aud easiest route-and if we don't she turns us back, to try again and again, million times if necessary, un- til we find and take her road-the only one and the best that leads to our desti- nation.-Sdn Fran.

q,td non to run a factory. As to arbi- tration having any great effect in pre- venting strikes, that is very improb- able. If the strikers had good chance for success they would hardly arbi. trate, and the same with the employers. Arbitration of the kind that obtains be- tween unequal opponents don't amount to much. Unless the workers capture the more powerful weapon of political power, the decrease of strikes will sim. ply mean the decrease of the power to resist oppression-it will mean degra- dation.

A EUROPEAN WAR.

Once more the war cloud in Eastern, Europe has assumed an immediately threatening aspect, and the internal condition of Russia may, as we have often said, force on the struggle. The change which has taken place in Ser via, the Czar's speech, the Shah of Per sia's visit, the uneasiness and trouble in Turkey and Armenia are all so many disturbing symptoms, and Social-Demo- crats are bound like other people to take account of them. For the Socialist Party throughout Europe cannot fail to- be seriously influenced by any outbreak. There are some who think that war would benefit us, and that the peoples must gain whichever side might win. We are not of that opinion. Far from 1t. Militarism is the worst enemy of Socialism, and whether Germany, Aus tria and Italy, or Russia and France the alliances are practically formed al- ready-prove the victors, progress will be hampered for a long time. Much as we detest the present Government in the three countries named, and gladly as we would see our Eastern Empire overturned. the view so often expressed in Justice remains unchanged The victory of Russia, supported by France, would be worse for Europe than the success of Germany and her allies. For Great Britain as democratic State the only possible alliance is France apart from Russia. London Justice.

TRUSTS AND SOCIALISM.

The question is frequently asked, "How far will the system of trusts have to extend before the public will actively oppose them?' Assuming that this method of securing exorbitant profits is diseased condition of the industrial system, it must be conceded that the disease is contagious. It is only five years ago that the first real trust associ- atiOn was formed, and in the interval imitators of the Standard Oil trust have sprung up in all directions. If the change keeps on at this pace, the pres ent century will not be out before prac- tically all of the great industries of this country will be under trust manage ment, those not thus controlled being too small and insignificant to make it worth anyone's while to arrange con- binations in their behalf. Now, the merit of the past business method of
 unrestricted competition has been the continued improvements in processes of production which were | areby afforded. Manufacturers and mer- chants have had, metaphorically speak ing, to sleep with one eye open, in order to at once catch hold of and introduce new ideas, and thus prevent their competitors from getting the better of them. This has led to tremendous improvements in machin- cry, to the introduction of finer grades and better qualities of goods, and to more artistic methods; that is, it has
 been a struggle for existence. in which the fittest has survived. But the trust idea is to suppress competition, with all of the benefits which follow in its train, and if this is the case there is clearly no reason why the State should not mo- nopolize business enterprises of all kinds. The answer in the past to State socialism has been that it would pre- vent what everyone recognized to be desirable-that is, competition; but if business is to be generally carried on

America is republic, Australia the province of monarchy. In America the labor unions who attempt to make use of the same right to publicly assem- ble, as the bankers, merchants and man. ufacturers, are subject to being dispersed with clubs, while in Australia no one interferes with labor meeting or pa rade. In America we have not been able during the past hundred years to enact decent election law, yet in Aus tralia they have a model election law, which has been in use many years. In America the agitation for an eight-hour work day makes little or no progress, In Australia most trade unions work only eight hours per day.-iadidna Fri olu1e.

A pleasing thing about the new daily paper, the EUening Call, recently estab- lished in Providence, k. l., is the fact that it bears at it's head the legend, Typographical Union No. 33, Publish CTS and Proprietors." That's right; let the organized printers conduct their own paper, and be careful not to let it get into the hands of private individu- als. Printers have had considerable experience of an unpleasant nature,with newspapers which they have sacrificed much to call into existence, and which fell into the hands of unscrupulous ad- venturers, who simply used the union men as stepping stones to personal prominence and political influence.

Statistics of labor disturbances show that so far this year there have been fewer strikes than for the correspond ing periods in either of the four years preceding This seems to indicate that more common sense is being used in the industrial world It is evident that ar bitratlon has done something toward preventing strikes. Some industrial writers assert that the era of strikes will go out with this century. We may not progress so rapidly as that, but it is plain that people are learning that strikes are not the best way of settling labor disputes, although circumstances sometimes make them absolutely neces- sary.-PttSbtTg Trddes Journal.
 Of course, common sense has some thing to do with the decrease of strikes. The burned child exhibits that sort of common sense when it avoids a red hot stove. Strikes have been growing less and less successful as capitalists have or ganized among themselves more and mere and as the improvement in ma chinery made human labor less of a sine

Whatever may be the need of local labor papers, Socialists always first re. gard the effectiveness of their Orn party journals. They are to the Party what the post-otfice and public means of com munication are to the nation. Socialists understand this, and hence they have a faithful press in every country where they are organized nationally, save where Kaiserdom uses brute force against them; and even there their papers circulate. Germany cant pre-. vent the Sozidl- l-DemOkrdt from reaching its German constituents, even if it has to be printed in England. A faithful and unpurchasable press is prime con. sideration in these days, and the only way to have such is to ouH it.
