THE SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.

Debs' Social Democracy scheme Is
attracting a great deal of attention and
some are even asking whether it really
solves the question of the unemployed.
That question cannot be answered UNI
til trial has been made of it. The ques-
ton now really is. Will genuine trial
of it be made? If it reaches that stage
where some thousands of persons
actually congregate themselves to-
gether for the purpose of trying the
experiment it will truly be surprise.
If it succeeds in getting. that Car it may
even go further.
After all there is nothing at the bot
tom of it to warrant belief that it viii
accomplish anything substantial. Debs'
theories are not new nor have they
ever succeeded in Undertaking. in such
practical shape as to accomplish some
thing substantial for mankind. His
plan reminds one of some of the Central
and South American constitutions
beautiful and seemingly perfect on
paper but not worth two cents when
it is attempted to work a government
under them. Those constitutions fail
because they completely ignore the
particular phase of human nature they
undertake to deal with. And this is
precisely what Debs' scheme does. He
is basing his political fabric on dis
content and not on any fundamental
principle; in fact he is flying in the
very face of fundamental principles of
government as understood in this coun-
try. His scheme subordinates indi-
viduality and personal freedom, the
very thing on which the whole theory
of American government is based. Now
it is as difficult for men TO dissocia.e
themselves from the political ideas
amidst which they have grown uD as
to dissociate themselves from the
moral and intellectual ideas amidst
which they have grown up.
If Debs succeeds in carrying his
paper plan into practical operation
and makes it triumph he will be en-
titled to be called a great man. VIII
he Go this? Time alone can decide. but
until it decides in his favor people will
shake their heads.

PROF. ANDREWS AND BROWN
UNIVERSITY.

It is said that Mr.. John D. Rockefeller
has made an offer of a very large sum
of money to Brown university. but that
there is q condition attached thereto.
This condition is that the university
dispense with the services of President
Andrews, who is a strong advocate OF
silver. and it is because of this fact
that it is desired his services be dis
pensed with.
It would be nothing less than an in
suit to Brown to think for moment
that she would entertain an idea o.
accepting a gift on any such condition.
Attack after attack has been made on
President Andrews because Of his sill

probably continue to do this. Were
there any serious objection to the
president of the university it would
have been made known through the
complaints of patrons, but they seem to
have been well satisfied with the work
he was doing: and if they are satisfied
others should be.
In this offer CT M Rockefeller there
is really a menace to our Institutions OF
higher education. One of the chief

THE ELECTRIC coMBINE
RUMORS.


For several days past the people Of
this city have been wondering what
foundation there is for the runors that
the different electric power companies
are forming a combine for their
mutual protection" Unquestionablv
there is some foundation for the
rumors. 1t is by no means certain that
the combine can be prevented. If it
can this city win have achieved a
great and wonderful victory. The way
TO nullify the effects of combines
among companies that seek franchises
from cities is for the councils thereof
TO so restrict the privileges granted
and to so surround them with safe
guards of the peoples interests that
they cannot combine against the peo-
pie To grant all they ask and then
when it is too late to prevent combines
attempt TO do so is like locking the
stable after the horse is gone. Every
franchise granted should only be
granted with a full realization of the
fact that the corporation getting it
will do no more for the public interest
than IT is absolutely compelled to, will
take all il can get. and resolve every
doubt as to what is granted by a fran
chise in IFS favor and never recede
from its position until compelled to by
the courts. and then only after it has
fought the case through all the courts
II city councils would only bear all
this in mind and then be true to the
people who elected them, there would
be very little 10 fear from corporations.
The trouble il that councils do not al
ways do this. If the various electric
power companies that have received
franchises from the city council have
got those franchises so fixed that they
are on top and the citizens are at a
great disadvantage. the citizens can
blame the council that granted them
and not the companies which secured
them. The city council cannot prevent
a combine of the electric power. com
panies but it can so condition the fran
chises 1t grants that they will become
useless when combines are formed and
so defeat the purpose of them When
the council has done this it has done
all in its power in the premises. The
laws OF the state must be relied upon
TO reach unlawful combinations after /
they are formed.
