The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1894-01-10

Chicago, the coal miner in Indiana, Illi-
nois, Pennsylvania, can work only for the
members Of the steel ring or the Goa
pools. They can buy their tools, powder
their meat, their fuel, their kerosene
their gas, only Of this or that monopoly.
In q thousand trades labor is forced by
Compulsion stronger than that Of
British stamp acts to sell his labor to
ruler, and in q thousand neCessR. as OF
life to buy only Of ruler. What did the
stamp act tax or the tea tax amount to
in comparison with the taxes we must
pay on meat, coal, iron, oil, salt, almost
all the necesssries of life, to private tax
farmers whose greed legislates new
stamp act, stamping out all freedoms
Of trade, OF politics, Of societ3S
Democracy must be progressive or die.
1t was by q divine instinct Of rlgnt,
whether they knew it or not, that the
hundreds Of men who found themselves
these winter nights in Chicago withouts
roof went to the city hall. That ls the
house Of democracy. II stands on the
foundation principle that the people live
and work for the people. The city hall
means nothing il 1t does not mean that
the general welfare, not the advantages
or privileges Of few, is the object Of
society. 1t means more-ths general
welfare can be properly planned only il
all have a voice, and the plans can be
properly carried out only when all join
their efforts. The city hall represents
an institution ready made for, and pur-
pose Of, the common good for which the
common people choose to use it-Rn in
stltution in which they are equal part
ners, and no thanks to anyone but
themselves. The old democracy is the
father Of this new democracy. The old
trade union is to herald this greater
union. The people whU vote are bound
on their own recognizanoe to get the in
dependence and knowledge to vote right
and free The public schools are pledge
Of the public hoEor that every citizen
shall be able to buy books and shall
have time to read and digest.
The progressive genius of democracy
is at one with it's progressive necessities.
"a house divided against itself cannot
stand" sal Lincoln. "This union can.
not permanently endure half slave and
half free" 1t is equally true that all
cannot remain politically free if all are
not economically free. Political freedom
is bat the first instRllment Of economic
freedom. The trade union, even the
federation, Is but the initial step in the
organization Of labor. Shall we 60 on
In seven years, January l, 1900, the

faster than if they were in active service
in war, marching out of one battle into
another. They want to send their chill
dren to school; theV must send them to
the factory. They want their wives to
keep house for them; but they, too, must
throw some shuttle or guide some wheel.
They must work when they are sick;
they must stop work at Rnother's will;
they must work life out to keep life in.
The people have to ask foE work and
then do not get 1t. They have to take
less than q fair share Of the product;
they have to risk life, limb or health
their own, their wives, their children's--
for others selfshness or Whim. They
continue, for fear, to lead lives that
force them to do to others the cheaper
ing and wrongs Of which they complain
when done to them. All this is incon
eistent with manhood and with citizen
ship.
This is an impossible situation. No
human society ever held together on
such terms. This is contrary to the
most sacred principles OF American
society. This is government without
consent, and it is the corner stone and
root tree Of American life that we will
have none of it. The men who think it
can continue are our idlest dresmers and
most imprscticsble theorists. Open the
churches for dormitories for the roofess;
feed the hungry in soup kitchens; rake
every kind-heRrted garret for old shoes
and old clothes; find work in kindling
wood yards for the unemployed. 1t is
the work Of mercy and necessity, red
Gross service for the succor of the sick
and wounded on the bsttlefislds OF bust

But the war goes on. Its cannon balls
can fly faster than your ambulances.
One new machine can turn out of em-
ployment more men than all the churches
are feeding. One syndicate shutting
down or dismsntling to limit toe output
and keep up prices or to intimidate con-
grsss as on the tariff or currency can
drown out your charities. Against this
food charity is a mere broom; it cannot
sweep away this stream of the .unem-
ployed, for that is the rising tide Of the
Atlantic ocesD Of dispossessed humanity.
But municipslize the street car lines, ma
tionRlize the coal mines, the forests, the
iron mines, stop the competition of chill
dren and the starving in the labor mar
ket, set free every gift Of nature and
every hand Of man to soak up labor in
stead OF corking it up, and the tide
begins to run the other way. Wheels of
labor now chained by private sel6shness
will turn, never to stop while human
need remains uDsstisfed. The oversm-
ployed and the unemployed both vanish,
and their places will be taken by those
who are we'll employed because sslf-em-

for fine phrases. II was not.the theoreti-

IT MUST BE DONE.

The Republicans are going to win in
Sedgwick county They are going to win in
Kansas. the matter Of winning is going
to do a great deal towards restoring the
credit and the reputation of the state.
But there is another matter which will
make the result more potent and far
reaching-that is a big Republican ma
Jority. Victory means much, but big
victory, an unmistakable victory means
more.
1t is necessary that every man turn out
to vote. But he cannot vote unless he is
registered. Every Republican in the city
of Wichita should see that he is registered
at once. Ii he has moved since he regis
tered last spring he must register again.
If he registered last fall he NUT register
again. Ii be thinks he Is registered but is
not sure it is his solemn duty to make sure.
The city hall is not great distance from
the very center of the city-ouly a few
steps. The books are open from early in
the morning until S o'clock in the evening.
Ii is very small trouble to take but 1t
means much for Wichita and Kansas.
Every business man in the city AID every
man whose happiness aud prosperity is
dependent on the business of this city
should attend to this matter at once.

HELD UNDER SUSPICION.
sheriff Royse Arrests MN Supposed to BE an
Escaped onyict.

Sheriff Royse and Deputy Sheriff SIM
mons arrested man yesterday four miles
southwest of Godd ,ri on information re-
celved from the warden of the Colorado
peuiientiary. They brought the prisoner
to this city where be was compared with
the description sent by the Colorado OFF,
Gals.
The man was supposed to be Robert
White, a convict 1t the peDitentiary who
had escaped on the night of September
3. White had been sentenced to Che pen
iteutiary for a term of five years for burg
larry. A photograph was sent with the
description and every hing tallies vii b
the escaped convict, with the single excep
ton of the height. The man gave the
name of james Reed but appeared to be
greatly excited by the arrest He was
a stranger in the neighbernood and il is
the general belief that the sheriff secured
the right man.
The description reads as to height,
feet ana three fourths inches. The man
arrested is 5 feet and inches, aud it is
thought that the discrepancy is in saying
inches iustead of feet. Reed is exactly
so feet In height. The rest of the descrip-
ton and features correspond. He will he
detained until the arrival of the Colorado
ufficlals.
