J.H. Baker, chairman of the
committee appointed to meet
with a similar committee from
the council and from the water
board, reported that after sew
eral meetings of the joint com
nittee a scale of rates was
agreed upon and submitted to
the council. Mr.. Baker was in
favor of some action being tax
en- to equalize the expense of
construction and keeping up
the water plant. Under the
present arrangement the con-
sumer is compelled to pay the
interest on the bonds and also
the expense of maintaining the
entire plant, while the proper
ty owner who is not a consum-
er contributes nothing to this
fund nor bears any part of the
expense. Mr.. Baker contends
that this is all wrong, and as
one of the committee recon-
mended that some action be
taken to remedy this unfair
condition of affairs.
The matter of holding the
industrial bazar was discussed
at some length. 1t is proposed
to add many new features to

The Great Fight on the
Question of Socialism.

The proposition to have the
American Federation of Labor
declare for socialism was the
most important that came be-
fore the convention which re-
Gently adjourned at Kansas
City. Like Banko's ghost it
will not down. Each year the
friends of socialism are on
hand to fight for principle and
spread the socialist propagan-
da and each year new friends
are gained. Nightly the social
lists held mass meetings and
spoke to crowded houses.
The discussion on the ques-
ton in the convention cou-
sumed one day and ~ delegates
spoke. The final vote was 493
ayes and 1871 nays. -
The debate is admitted on all
sides to have been the greatest
that ever took place on this
question in the A. F. of L.. con-
ventions. The Kansas City
papers declare that nothing
like it had ever been heard in
that city before. The report of
the proceedings show that the
socialists confined themselves
strictly to the discussion of
principles and presented an
array of facts, figures and cold
logic that was utterly ignored
by the other side. The social
lists defeated their opponents
with strong, clear-cut argu-
ments but the other fellows

in behalf of the principles
which they believe offer the
true relief from grinding indus
trial conditions and the oppres-
sion of capital. The federation
is opposed to committing itself
to the Endorsement of any po-
litical party and has voted in
each annual convention to this
effect. Democrats and repub-
1icans have given up their
for their theories of gov.

"Their (the socialist) leaders,,

suit, was a flow of eloquence,
especially from delegate J. F.

delegate Max. Hayes of Ohio,
such as has not been heard in
Kansas City for years. The
best efforts of Webster Davis,

John L. Peake, Major Warner

achieved more than a local rep

Vitality Of the Wild Goose.
CINCINNATI Enquirer.

CINCINNATI Enquirer.
Farmer H. N. Clement, of Lowell,
Lake county, Ind, was running in the
Kenkakee marsh. He came upon
flock OF wild geese and bagged several
of them, ,one of which astonished him by
having as breastpin an arrow nine
inches long. That goose became the
wonder of the neighborhood and the
study of scientists, the only conclusion
reached being that. wherever the wild
bird came from there it got the arrow,
80 uuioue in formation that 1t could
be assigned to no tribe of Indians in
the United States or any known coun-
try. Finally, Professor o. I. Mason,
of the National Museum, said the bird
and arrow could have come from no
other place on the globe than the Yu-
kon Valley, for except in that region
no such arrows are made.
Science does not pretend to say how
long the goose had carried the arrow
of a Yukon tribesman until it met his
death from the shot of civilized gum
ner down on an Indiana marsh. The
bird dlsdained the weapon of a savage,
but turned up its legs to the marks

afterward and thousands OF miles from
it's summer home in Arctic desolatlon
as it was journeying southwark.
