A Good Report.

u Miss Helen NJ. Mason, formerly con-
nected with the Post Dispatch and
well known in this community as
teacher, writer and worker for right
eousness, received an urgent call Il
year ago to assist in the work of the
Brotherhood of the Cooperative Com
monwealth with headquarters at
Thomaston, Me. She promptly re-
sponded, and has given her energies
during the past year to this work.
The first aim of the brotherhood has
been accomplished. that of securing
and making ready a colony site, where
pioneers have been at work for some
months laying the foundations of
Equality" an ideal city, after the
manner of Bellamy.
The colony is located in fine farm
ing country, at the mouth of the
Samish River, in Skagit County,
WASH, near Puget Sound.
One hundred pioneers from Thorn
aston, Me-, and other points made the
journey across the country and have
located in the new colony. Since
then the membership on the colony
grounds has grown to POO, occupying
Is buildings, with AS acres of land.
The membership of the brotherhood
includes others besides the colonists.
1t numbers about 1900 and is made
up of persons from every State in
the union.
The price of a colony membership
is $3.50.
Miss Frances Willard, previous to
her last illness, in reply to a letter
from the treasurer of the brother
hood wrote, "Of course | will be an
honorary member, | believe in the
things that Christian socialism stands
for, and were | not teetotally occu-
pied, would go into the movement
heart and soul; and indeed | have
done in public utterances for many
wears. o, that | we're young again,

pei. 1t is Christianity applied. 1t
means blessedness and salvation to
the rich just as much as to the poor.
Well, we must live for IL. Yours for
the day of universal good will"
Miss Mason is treasurer OF the
brotherhood. She may be addressed
at Edison, Wash. Dispatch.

ballot, too. might have meant a great
deal. while his life is a mere drop in
the ocean of blood war may require.
Think of man giving up position
and salary, leaving his wife and
children to charity and $l3 a month:
who would not spend ten cents on
en- economic pamphlet lest he bring
his family to want.
Don't imagine | am decrying the
patriotism of those who are Offering
themselves upon the altar of their
country in her hour of peril from for
eign foes. But no nation, of any ac-
count, was ever subdued from with
out until the canker of internal in
justice and its consequent dissension
had eaten it out from within.
The necessity for purer and better
government is an ever-present neces-
sity, for no government is ever per-
feet except in the mouths of admins
tration campaign orators just before
election.
1t requires more persistent effort,
more determined courage, to face the
foes who menace our country from
within. Reform is always unpopular.
and it is easier for most natures to
face bayonets. and bullets, than scorn
and ridicule.
The battle with the foreign foe is
soon over and we return victorious
amid the acclaims of Il grateful coun-
try, or. at the worst fall, defeated,
into the embrace of forgetfulness
and death. But the battle for right
principles is never ending conflict;
one foe defeated another takes his
place. And yet. what acclaim of
grateful country or plaudits of adj
miring crowds can equal the con-
seriousness of duty done?

the exploiters of labor, with the help
of their political allies, are binding
faster the chains of industrial bond

purest patriots and philanthropists of
the age, reading clearly the "Mene,

the walls of our competitive social
structure, are unselfshly and labori-
ously planning a reconstruction of
society which aims at the emancipa-
tion of labor and the regenera-

social atmosphere is dark and heavy
with portents of social disaster and
the masses are hopelessly and help

the hearts of the timid are fearful,
and we'll meaning but fanatical en-

About Confscation

About Contscatlon. y great cry Is
going mp tina, socialists desire To cont--
cate, couliscate,, couti~cate" I'm-m-m
That seems to be an old word About
l64g King Charles charged the English
people with an attempt tocoaiiscate his
political property As we remember
the story the yerlic, was against him,
and when he would not abide by the
decree of the court the people quietly
laid him away under the daisies. A
hundred years later king George tried
to convict Washington. Jefferson,
Adams and other Americans of an at
tempt to contiscatc his right to make
them PAY whatever taxes he saw lie 20
impose on them. The suit was pending
for several years trials taking place at
various places, but the final Judgment
at Yorktown was that King George was
himself robber who had tried to con-
dscate the iualicnable right of the pco-
pie to levy their own taxes. Fifteen
years later Louis XVII tried TO convict
the French people OF an attempt 20
"confscatc" his ownership of the peo-
pie. King Louis died i'm prison, and
the world has never seen iii to reverse
the decision of the court before which
he was tried All through the hftieS
the abolitionists were accused by the
Shareholders of attempting to coniiscate
their property in human beings The
trial lasted for four years, the first
hearing being at Fort Sumter. The
final judgment rendered at Appomattox
was mo ground for action" In the
trial now pending the Judgment will be,

Gated the hirthright Of the people who

THE SAMISR FLATS.

1t is difficult to give an eastern
man a clear idea of this yeritable
garden. On the north and on the
south the hills run down close to the
Sound. In the crescent onwhich the
colony site is located there are pr0ba-
bly, 1000 acres. 1000 of which are IN
der cultivation, mainly in oats and
timothy. The richest lands are the
tide fats, once covered with water at
high:tide, but now reclaimed by dix
ing: and the marsh lands reclaimed
by draining. The enormous fir, spruce
and cedar which have made Washing
ton famous the woold over grow on
land that may easily be reclaimed for
pasture, but the stumps make it al
most worthless for agricultural pur-
poses.
The approved method is to SOW tim
othy in the fall or spring immediate
ly following the fire which almost in
variably follows the logging. If
many months pass after the fire,
weeds and brush cover the ground and
prevent the timothy seed catching.
But if sown at the proper time good
stand is secured without narrowing.
This pasture will last three or four
years, when the land should be disk
narrowed, seeded and the seed cover
ed with tooth harrow. This second
seeding will last for several years.
cedar stump is Il good emblem of
eternity. 1t can't be split and it new
er rots. On the colony site is fir tree
probably 800 years old growing over
cedar log in such a way as to prove
that the cedar log was in its present
position 800 years ago. Evidently it
won't pay to wait for cedar stumps
and logs to rot. AS the stump viii
not readily burn and can be blasted
only at large expense the land seems
best adapted to pasture and dairy
purposes.
On the Samish flats there are about
5000 acres in oats averaging over
5000 lbs. to the acre, often rum ug
much above that figure. The ave-
age price is about - cents per .N0
pounds, or say SO. 80 per acre.
On the flats there are about 1000
acres of timothy yielding to tons
to the acre at an average price
when baled and in warehouse, of 8
The average cash rent is $1,000 per
acre. Potatoes and all root crops do

To say why a great man appears on
the stage at a certain epoch, or what
of his own individual development he
imparts to the world at large, is be-
yond our power; it is the secret OF
Providence, but the fact is still GER
tain. There are men to whom the
spectacle of society in a state OF an
archy or immobility is revolving and
almost unbearable; IL occasions them
an intellectual shudder, as thing
that should not be; they feel an un.
conquerable desire to change 1t; TO
restore order; to introduce something
general. regular and permanent into
the world which is placed before them.

don't believe ali the patriotism is
confined to the poor; but, while it is
true that "all man hath will he give
for his life" it is equally true that he
will shoulder his musket and throw
his life into the scales without hope
of reward, at the same time leaving
word with his banker to put his mo-
ney out where it will bring the most
interest.
A strange bundle of contradictions
is this so-called human nature, and
patriotism brings out some of its
strangest freaks! Think of a man
willingly Drawing sunstroke and yell

his country in foreign land, who

''old things"

in me. I've seen it: the system, not
the devil But from the description
of him | have met with, it wouldn't
pay man familiar with our "sys-
tenn to cross the road for a sight of
"Auld Clootie."
Still, I may be off. Some of the
most ardent supporters of competi-
ton are putting up, ostensibly,-yes
ostentatiously-the hardest fight
against Satan.
The present system is fortunate in
the possession of some very disinter-
ested champions.
The man who works the hardest,
and, of course, gets the least, is loud
est in support of competition.
Men who have nothing are most
jealous of any invasion of the "sa-
cred rights of property"
Most any man will put up a pretty
good fight for his possessions; but it
isn't circumstance to the way he
will scrap for what he hopes to have.
All fighting along this line against
socialism is out of order. But as
there is no fight against scientific CO.

nents have agreed to make.
| don't see why, when they were
putting up boyle man, they didn't

my business.

If country is worth dying for it i,

1t thrills my blood to see men push

country though she has, apparer tly
been but an Indifferent step-mother
to them. But she hasprotected their
lives and it is no more than fair that
they should freely lay them upon the
