COOPERATIVE FAILURES


established a few months ago in Santa
Rosa county has gone to pieces. 1t
would be unkind for anybody to rejoice
over the failure of such an enterprise.
On the contrary it is really matter to
be regretted, as the colony was started
in good faith, doubtless, and by honest,
well-meaning people, who thought they
had discovered solution of the social
problem in cooperation. Thousands
of equally honest people of more than
average intelligence believe that CO.
operation is the great panaces for
social ills, though but few of them thus
far have put the theory to practical
test. The complete failure of the ex-
pertinent in Santa Rosa county is dis
couraging to those who believe in the
efficacy of cooperative coloni es in
tightening life's burdens and pre- pairing
the way for universal "peace on earth
and good will to men,"
However attractive may be the idea
of a cooperative, harmonious COM
munity in which "all are for each and
each for ALL" the cold fact is, that
with an occasional exception the at
tempts to maintain such organizations
are signal failures. Indeed, the sue
cessful enterprises of that kind can be
counted on ones fingers, while the
number of those that have been started
and proved failures is very large.
Human nature has not yet been edu-
Gated out of selfishness and greed so as
to make possible the perfect success of
organizations based upon the COOP
erative plan. Some Of them survive
for time, and show indications of
prosperity, but sooner Of later dissen-
sions arise, jealousies, chickering's and
quarrels develop, and then comes dis
solution.
Every industrial enterprise in order
to be successful must have a head,
a manager, controlling personality,
without which cooperation will be sue
ceeded by chaos. There is co-opsra.
tion, to a greater or less extent, in all
departments of industry. Everything
accomplished in the line Of wealth
production, unless done entirely by
one person, ia done on the cooperative
plan, and the laws of every state per-
nit it. Therefore all the people are
free to cooperate with each other just
as far and as much as they can agree.
1t is useless to make any attempts to
force that which must come naturally
if it comes at all. Natures laws, il
strictly observed, will always lead
people in the right path. Every infrac-
tion of a natural law, physical or moral,
is sure to breed inharmony and suffer
ing.
But whether there be in any commu-
nifty much cooperation or little, it is GER
tain that there will not be harmony
and general prosperity while the
sources of wealth production are mo-
nopolized by few. Access to natural
opportunities is essential to the sue.
cess of individuals and organizations,
and until that is had no so-calfed CO.
operative colony can solve the indus.

The growing strength OF silver in the
Ranks of the democracy admonishes the re-
pubiicans on two important points:
Cd Mr.. Mckinley must have a running

will bring to the ticket elements both of
popularity and solidity. 1t is held that he
should be himself of presidential proper

o. The chairman of the national COM

that the republicans would have a walk

and mechanically weak fire department.
Yet tine Senate conferses either permitted
the so-called economists" of the House to
seriously cripple some of the institutions
or else made compromises that were based
upon expsd!ency rather than principle.
Senator German said he trusted that the
Senate cOnferees on the District bill would
not yield any further. He said that there
seemed to be disposition en- the part Of
the coordinate branch to ignore all the
recommendations of the Senate on the
various appropriation bills. There is such
disposition. 1t has frequently been mani

session. 1t has been conspicuous in the

component parts of the increase are, as a

states, the west and the northwest. Mr..
Reed is strong in the east. The battle Is
to be fought in those sections, and, 1t is
contended, the ticket of Mckinley and
Reed would prove invincible there. This is
the argument which Mr.. Hanna will use at
the conference he is to hold with Mr..
Manley at ST. Louis this week.
At a later day there will be an argument
about the national craftsmanship for Mr..
Hanna to listen to- Nobody denies that in
the management of Mr.. McKinley's cam
paign Mr.. Hanna has shown much skill
and good judgment. He is accredited with
fine natural talents for politics. His rela-
lions with Mr.. Mckinley are most init
mate. 1t is conceded that if Mr.. Mckinley
desires Mr.. Hanna to conduct the fight,
that will settle 1t. The national commit
tee would acquiesce in the selection. and
MIR. Hanna, of course, would accept. But
would that be best?
Doubts are expressed on this point. Mr..
Hanna has national reputation, Of very
recent establishment, but hardly a national
acquaintance He is a stranger to many
Of the party workers east and west. Ought
this to be true of the chairman Of the
national committee in such a fight Is
approaching? Ought not he to be an old
workers in all of the debatable states?
Could not such a man be more effective
and get more out Of his Ieutenants than a
stranger?
If Mr.. Hanna is to urge that Mr.. Reed
sacrifice himself for the good of the party
by consenting to run for the Vice Presi
dency, the expediency of similar self
sacrifice on Mr.. Hanna's part by surren-
derng his national committee aspirations
for the party's welfare may be urged by
the Reed republicans.

the republicans will operate from both

wrestle with silver Is on the cards. The
appointment of Mr.. Hanna for Chicago,
