THE SUCCESSFUL MAN.

The successful business man is a
mighty conqueror of the most mercl-
less, stone hearted, and cruel kind. II
he displays a particle of human SYM
patty with the multitudinous victims
of his business methods, he is imme-
diately outgeneraled, bankrupted,
ruined by rival concerns, who have
more "iron in their hearts" No indi-
vidual piety and no quality of after
philanthropy can change this condi-
ton. The man who with solemn tone
on Sabbath day repeats beneath the
echoing architecture of the sanctuary,
"Give us this day our daily bread, }"
goes forth to seek only the answer to
a purely individualistic prayer, Give
me my daily bread-and more, too"
In the very nature of the case he cam
not do otherwise. The individual pur-
suit of life's necessities constantly vio-
lates the law of love and the golden
rule. Only the social pursuit of all
life's material needs will give a privi-
lege of practicing the second COM
mandment, without which the first is
meaningless.-Rev. !. S. Wilson.

What. A B c c Cleaning House?
Yours truly,
j. S. Freeman, New York

l suppose the location of headquarters is
settled ere this, and l have been very much
interested in the discussion. | think great
deal may be learned in that way and we
should discuss other measures of importance
in advance, as there is scarcely time after a
vote is called, to do them justice. So | will
suggest the following subject: How can the
National brotherhood best promote good of
the ORDER and help the colonies? And to
start the ball rolling | will offer few re-
marks.
AS the Brotherhood was organized to unite
all socialists. 1t should be in position to help
all socialistic efforts, no matter where loca-
ted, or whether they are members of the
brotherhood or not. Some will say this is
impossible But let us see. There are now
about $500 members in the order and they
all have to buy things, that are perhaps made
by co-operators cheaper. and better than
they can get elsewhere. But they do not
know where to send for them. Consequently
the producers lack market for their goods
and the consumers have to buy sweatshop
goods.
Now my idea is to have the distribution de-
partment organized for business. Not to keep
large stock of goods on hand, but to send
out catalogues and price lists. to those wish
ing to buy, and perhaps make purchases and
act as clearing house for the different colo
MES or labor exchanges.
would also have the members, and others
who wished to buy, pay dues to the amount
OF soc. or I5c. per quarter in advance. which
would entitle them to Industrial Freedom. and
price lists of any goods they wanted upon APP
phcation to the distributors Office: with
the privilege of buying direct, at the lowest
wholesale price, in any quantity they desired,
In this way the consumers would save more
than their dues, and the producers could get a
market for their goods without extensive adj
vertising.
The producers could furnish their own price
lists, or have the brotherhood print them all
in one large catalogue, which | think would
be best. Where several were making the same
articles they could combine, and make the
price the same, and ship from the most con-
venient point, to save freight. | think this
plan would benefit all concerned. and unite
socialists more than anything else Has any
one anything else to suggest?

COMMON SENSE.

am unable to discover by what process of
reasoning people will give ready support to
such means of promoting the general welfare
as public libraries, parks, schools, ETC., and at
the same time pronounce as destructive of
of individual liberty, a further extension of
the same idea in providing better means
through public association, of supplying our
material wants. If the public has a right to
make it easy to get drink of water at
public fountain, should it not also have the
right to make it easy to get loaf of bread?
a common objection to an extended useful
ness of the public function is that 1t invades
the rights of private enterprise. Admit it
and do not public libraries conflict with the
interests of private booksellers? If there
were no post Office department would not the
business of the Western Union be increased?
Would you abolish public libraries and post
Offices for that reason?
Combination is a necessary part Of the evo-
lutionary process, and the general welfare
demands public management for the general
good of any industry that has assumed suf-
ticient magnitude to affect the whole people.
For instance organized society can better
afford to ignore the manufacture of meer-
schaum pipes than to overlook the private
contract of transportation, for the reason that
in the latter the whole people are directly in
terested as users and their welfare can only
be secured by management that in its very
nature would seek the public good instead of
the financial interests of single owner.
If bread and clothing are as necessary as
water and land, and transportation as neces-
sary as parks and courts, the right of the
public to provide each is equal, and along
with the right comes the obligation.
If the state has right to provide a hospi-
tai for the starving, it has also the right to
provide the means of employment to prevent
starvation. Is it not beginning at the wrong
end TO offer man a free book who is too hum
CRY to read?
What irony for lean wretch to step into
public library and read a book of Ward Me-
Allister on high cooking. If we acknowledge
the right of the state to do anything at all it
must be that which is the most necessary to
be DONE Are the millions of idle men in
this country suffering more for the lack of
food clothing and shelter, or books. parks
and music? Why should the government
provide the one and withhold the other?

THE SAVAGE is TO BE ENVIED.

"The civilized man out of a Job is
not nearly SO well off as his savage
brother in a jungle, y says The Machin-
lists Journal. The man in the jungle
lives He has free access to the land
and enjoys the bounties of nature
without let or hindrance When he
draws his bow in quest of his dinner,
no game warden dares say nay. If he
casts his spear into the stream to land
fish for his breakfast, no owner of
riparian privileges dares say: "Thou
shalt not.' He is infinitely better off
than his civilized brother who is
tramp and outlaw on the highways
and a trespasser and transgressor
when he leaves them. 1t is fearful
arrangement against our civilization
to say that return to the liberty and
breech-clout of the savage would en-
large our happiness and increase our
ability to live, yet the man out of
job is worse off than the savage. Give
the unemployed chance. Give them
work,
The B c { movement is an attempt
to give work to every man who will
work, and our hope is that any able
bodied man who will not work will
not be allowed to eat.

TROUBLES OF AN INVENTOR.

Prof. Elisha Gray's inventions have
made millionaires of twenty men, vet
he is ending his days in poverty, ac-
cording to the Chicago Times Herald.
In the very shadows of the palaces of
those he has made rich he iscompelled
to live in a humble house and take
boarders. All his life he has been in
venting, and business sharpers have
taken advantage Of his lack ofshrewd-
ness and gotten away from him at in
equitable prices his immensely valu-
able creations. This is the way COM
petition and commercialism admins
ter justice. 1t was not money that
stimulated him to invent. twas not
poverty which made him an inventor
Lack of sharpness in dealing with
sharpers has not shown him an in
ferior man, a man deficient in power to
serve society. But an each-for-himself
society, if society it can be called, cares
nothing for the Individual 1t has no

Trade Review: Since the ideal OF
one generation is the working factor
of the next, the public school teacher
becomes ranking officer in the ship
of state. OF the twenty thousand
teachers gathered at the recent con-
vention in Washington, even the most
irresponsible exerts profound influ-
ence upon our future citizenship. A lit
tie boy lately came to Mrs. Mary A.
Livermore with a question, listened
to her answer, and then said, gravely:
"Well, grandmamma, will ask Miss
Brown tomorrow if what you say is
true" The fact that Miss Brown was
the eighteen-year-old teacher of a pri-
mary school makes comment upon
the character and influence of the
teacher superfuous.

The Detroit Journal says that in one of the
factories in that city machine operated by
a boy of Is, is now doing the work which
formerly required six men working by hand.
The boy gets "a week. The six men, who
were necessarily capable mechanics, could
not be neld for less than SO week. That is,
the firm pays only 81 for work which used to
cost s54. And yet, there are some people who
wonder why there are tramps.
Yes, but you see tramps could get
work if they wanted work! The fact
that nobody wants any work done
makes no difference. All the tramps
need to do is to rustic and look fresh
and hopeful.

Plutocracy Not Formidable.
Enclosed hand you for the editor an ex-
tract from a speech of John Wanamaker.
describing as one who knows, the makeup of
the Pennsylvania republican machine"
The republican party there seems to be
thoroughly corrupt and strongly intrenched.
but there is great power in the truth with
the heavenly forces behind it.
Mono Castle at Santiago is described as ap-
pearing very formidable as viewed from dis
lance, but on close examination found to be
as incapable of inficting injury on an enemy
as a hillock of the Mound Builders. So NAV
it be with the corrupt parties and powers of
our country.

THE NATION NEEDS 1T.

The dangers and possibilities of evil
resulting from private ownership of
all the telegraph lines in the United
States are appalling when considered
in connection with times of financial,
social or political peril. No private
corporation should have the power to
pollute, pervert or destroy the streams
of information on which the people
must depend and our Government act.
The postal telegraph is necessary to
our national neutrality-suspicious.

Some bright people say that social
ism is a failure and then they cite the
Zoar colony, near GAINESVILLE, Ohio, as
furnishing evidence of this theory, be-
cause this colony was recently dis
solved
We are told that this experiment
was a failure. a failure was it. Then
we would like to see such failures be-
come common. If this was a failure,
then are failures more to be desired
than success, especially Of the kind
which is becoming a feature of the
honest money banking business.
When banks fail they usually have
nothing left, but when this Zoar colo
ny failed (?) it paid to every member
$4,000.

ure to come our way.

In the true society of brotherhood
love will be the great stimulant to and
reward of endeavor He who greatly
serves will be greatly loved. And he
who is greatly loved will be greatly
served. He who enriches all will be
loved by ALL Love is a far stronger
incentive and an UNNECESSARILY richer
reward than money or selfish power.
And when love organizes industry and
the means of production individual
service will never go unrewarded.
