SOCIALIST IN
Haverhill, Mass, About to Try
Experiments in a Municipal
Way,

racy Platform.
Attempt to Be Made to Carry Out
the Principles Announced
Therein.
Most of the Reforms, Before Tax.
ing Effect, to Be Submitted
to a Vote.

HAvERHILL, Mass, Dec. 9.-An
avowed disciple of Social Democracy
will ON JAN 2, be inaugurated mayor of
this city, being, so far as known, the
first Socialist to be elected to an adj
ministrative Office in this country.
By the municipal election Monday,
John c. Chase, aged % years, a clerk in
a cooperative grocery store, was elected
mayor as the candidate of the Social
Democracy, by plurality of $50 votes
in field of six candidates. With him
on the victorious ticket were three So
cialists for aldermen and three for coun-
cilmen.
Chase declares that his only purpose
in the mayors office will be to carry out
the principles of the local party plat
form, which are as follows.
Their Declaration of Principles.
The acquisition by the municipality of
the public utilities, such as street rail
ways, gas and electric light plants and
all other utilities requiring a franchise,
the same to be operated by the opera
tives, co-operative1y, subject by direct
vote to the whole people; the employees
to elect their own superior officers, but
no employee to be discharged for politi-
cal reasons; abolition of the contract
labor system ON public works; that eight
hours constitute days work with
minimum wage of 81 per day; that all
salaries and wages paid by the munich
pality be in proportion to services rem
dered; that the city, when necessary,
furnish proper food, clothing and shoes
to all children who are kept at home
from school on account of lack of proper
| food clothing and shoes; that the full
powers of the municipality be exercised
for the relief of the unemployed, not by
charity, but by the establishment of
public works for their employment;
| abolition of grade crossings and every
other menace to human health and life;
| that the burden of taxation be dis
tributed in exact proportion to the hold.
| ings of each citizen; abolition of all
secret sessions Of the city council, the
! adoption of the principles of the initia-
tive and referendum and proportional
representation; the abolition of secret
balloting in the city council
Mr.. Chase said, referring to the plat
form:
II shall try with my comrades who
have been elected to take some steps to
bring each of these matters before the
people. Our campaign is not a revolu-
tionary one, but one of education. We
shall force nothing down the threats of
the people, but will seek to educate
them until they ask for these things
that we recommend. That is as far as
/ can outline our policy. There will be
no general turnover in the city hall, and
we shall try to do nothing but conduct
the business of the city in the most care
full and honest manner do not expect
opposition from the othes parties in the
city council, but think we will have
| harmonious administration.

Great Britain to Convert Kingston Into
Another Gibraltar.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Dec. .9.-As a
part of the scheme of converting Kings
ton harbor into great naval depot and
extensive dockyard in view of the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal in the
near future, the admiralty authorities
have just completed negotiations for
the purchase of Greek pond at the west
ern extremity of the city where the pro-
posed dockyard will be constructed. It
is said that the work will be com
menced Immediately. The dockyard, il
is said, is to be the largest and best
equipped in the British dominions.
A naval authority who has been in
terviewed on the subject says the inten-
ton is to make Jamaica another Gibral-
tar to command the canal and be a
rallying point for the naval and mill
tary services of the Anglo-American
alliance, when by domination of both
entrances it holds the political and com.
mercial balance of power in the hollow
of its hand

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
situation in Porto Rico Promises to Fore
the Experiment

the Experiment
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.--The situation
in Porto Rico promises to force ON this
government, for a time at least, the ex-
pertinent of federal ownership of tel
egraph and telephone lines. The war
department now controls all lines in
Porto Rico and in the evacuated sec
tions of Cuba. The latter, however, is
looked upon as merely transient. In
both places the lines are being repaired
and the government is handling com
mercial messages after government mat
ter The signal service in charge of this
work says it is too soon to draw conclu-
sions as to the expense of the service, as
the cost of maintenance and long de-
layed repairs is just now more than the
income from the lines.
But in six months from the beginning
of the new year, the signal service ex-
poets to be able to furnish some inter
esting data as to the profit in the insular
wire service. The military occupation
of the lines will naturally continue I'M
til the establishment of civil govern
ment. and considerable interest is ex-
pressed as to how the management Of
the lines will be disposed eventually. or
whether it will be permanently retained
by the government. This enforced OBJ
ject lesson in federal management is
naturally expected to have considerable
influence pro or con in the agitation for
like control in this country. The signal
service reports the commercial business
on the island wires light at present,
owing to disturbed business conditions,
but all of this is expeditiously and salts
factorily handled by the government

A Slight Mistake.

A Canadian river steamer was
the scene of an amusing blunder,
which Wisconsin paper desert
bes as follows
A lady passenger was taken ill
in the night q Doctors assistance
was required, but the steamer did
not carry member of the pro-
fession. The list of passengers
was read through, in order to dis
cover if there was medical man
among them, and happily there
was the name James Thompson,

The steward quickly ran to DR..
Thompson's berth, and aroused
the occupant by vigorous blows
on the door.
"What's the matter? Is the
boat sinking - came from within
in startled tone.
There's passenger i'll, and we
want your assistance, DOCTOR, re-
piled the steward.

Perhaps few experiences of life
are harder to bear than when an

with an utter lack of sympathy.
Such a situation is portrayed by

Malan.
A dishonest gardner had re-
ceived notice of discharge, and
after an unsuccessful attempt to
vindicate his character by plausi-
bic platitudes, said mournfully to

mon sense came to my aid. 1
figured it out that it was parasite

pig the parasite must be destroyed.
So L mixed up some turpentine
and coal oil, and added quite a
bit of sulphur. Then, while the
pigs were at the trough, l squlrted
the mixture all over them from

An Unfortunate Error ut Birth.
(From the Weekly Telegraph J

A tourist on his way to Dublin
from Belfast exasperated the
guard at every station by thrust
ing his head out of the carriage
window and exclaiming: "Guard,
my trunk is not to be put off here;
| am going on to Dublin" The
long>suffering official bore patient
ly with this idiotic injunction for
some time, but ut last forbearance
gave way, and bursting with
lustifable indignation, he retorted:
"WelI, yer honor, it's pity the
Lord didn't make you an eIe-
phant instead of an ass, for then,
sure, your trunk would be always
in front Of you"
