The Greater B. c. c.

Some few members of the b &C are
expressing themselves a. opposed to
the amendment to the constitution
and bylaws that has been presented
by the Board of Trustees and the
members of Equality colony, There
Is great deal that may readily he
said for either side Of thi, questions:
the amendment is not Il blessing un-
mixed with evil. aud many objections
that seem at first sight more or less
vital and convincing, can DC urged
against the adyisability of the aaou-
ton of the proposed change In tHg
organism of the BCC and it, c..u-
mics,
But why has this amendment been
proposed? For the very simple rca-
son that it is absolutely necessary
for the welfacc of the Is CO, for the
success and pcrmanencc of Equality
colony. and for the successful admin
istratiou of the future colonies that
will under the auspices of the Bt a..
take part i'm the specialization of this
magnificent state of Washington.
Who are they that believe the amend
ment to be tmperatively required.
None other than an those who reside
ut the center of action and have had
the best means of reaching right cou-
illusions through personal ooserNa-
ton and through living experience.

Grating colonies and industries under
the general management of a Ma
tlonal Board can do so and that plan
will be tested along with the others:
II it is the best it will survive.
The purpose Of the Brotherhood
was to establish colonies, not one local
colony. This amendment allows the
national board to carry out this pur-
pose in its broadcast sense and will re-
suit in the establishment Of the coop
erative commonwealth just SO much
sooner. CHAS. II. SWIGAHT.

1t has been the experience of most
people that many of their pet theo-
ries on different subjects were COM
pletely modified by being put to the
test of actual practice. A few of
mine on the subject of cooperation
have met this fate. One in partiCI-
lar, that by single step we could
pass from competition to the orderly
and scientific operations of socialism,
without first going through the eX-
detrimental or evolutionary stage of
colony management or complete
autonomy. has been roughly dealt
with.
We have grown up from competi-
ton to cooperation of individuals or
cooperation in colonies. We must
now grow into cooperation of colo
mics or state socialism. The change
from competition to individual CO.
operation was long step, but the
next step or colony cooperation l.,
much greater and will require q much
broader view than most Of us have az
tanned. As 4 comrade remarked TO

for 4 man to take. to Ike able To- admit

(F) Then finally I argue against
your proposed amendment and in
favor of mine on the merits of this
opposition to anarchy.
Philosophical anarchy is impossible
except in a society of philosophical
anarchists. But a philosophical an
archist is Il being who has perfect t
knowledge of what to do and a single
purpose to do exactly what he knows
Is the right thing to do. Such beings
could form themselves into an
anarchistic society. But for men
who lack this perfect knowledge and
this sinltss purpose to attempt to run
an anarChisttc association would
make a bad mess of it. 1t would
result in ordinary, disorderly, dis
loyal disreputable, destructive an
archy. Philosophical anarchy re-
quires philosophical anarchists. 1t
is the general belief, and no proof to
the contrary, that as fast as men
attain to philosophical anarchy, if
not little before, they emigrate to
heaven. Let US have none of this
bogus anarchy mixed up with our
Brotherhood work.
GEO CANDEE.
National Organizer,
Through an oversight for which
we must apologize. it was stated
that the national board had UNANI-
MOUsLY concurred in submitting the
amendment We meant the men,
bers of the board resident in Wash
ington and were not aware Of our
mistake in statement until Brother
Candee's letter appraised Us OF it.
Had Brother Candies field Of labor
the past few months been in Wash
ington he would not see in all things
as he now sees, ard he would censure
more gently. we arc sure. There is Il
natural disappointment on the part
of those who have most tcuderly
cherished an ideal form which this
experiment of ours should take in
growing. and those who have been
unable towatch it daily are naturally
startled at the proposition TO amend
our laws. We have planted seed
and it has grown poplar or Il yew
when we were looking for maple or
pine. The resident members of the
national board themselves made the
proposition which took form in the
petition and referendum. and are
convinced that its passage will open
the door wider than ever to the best
success of the Brotherhood and its
plan. Socialism is to be worked out
in Washington. There is every hope
of this. But state social m is not
here. and the instinct of self-preser-
walton is not yet superfluous. and
therefore not yet inert. The dictates
of this instinct cannot with certainty
be predicted nor always directed, and
they will often prompt to course
which seems to those in whom it is
active to be so essential as to be
superior to existing rules. When this
is so and is demonstrated to be UNI
changeably 50, it may be better that
the rules should bend We are con-
WINGED it is better they should do
so now There will be two expert
ments in progress, and no reason
apparent why both should not be
prosperous and a mutual support.
We hope the amendment will carry.

Yesterday county conventions were
held in Lane, Comanche, Clark. Meade
and Hamilton counties.
Specials to the Eagle from Coldwater
and Ashland state that the delegates of
Clark and Comanche counties are for
Stanley for governor and Long for con-
gress. Instructions were given for Long
in all the counties. This insures the cleo
ton of Long, he already having enough
instructed delegates now TO put MIN
through the convention at Hutchinson.
Yesterdays elections put ne number for
Stanley up to nearly eighty of those al
ready elected. special from Syracuse
Hamilton county, to the Eagle says;
The Republican county convention met
today and elected the following delegates
George Getty and ]. A. Shanstrom. TO
the congressional convention; Luther
Inge and w. z. Tarbox to the state con-

Long. The delegates to the state con-

Dighton:

for Long. Delegates Alvin Marshall and
Henry Sharp. Delegates to state con-
