Socialism is Due In 1905.

''Now, the agitation for socialism as it
is known today began in earnest about
1872. 1t was rife everywhere in 1879 If
l am right in my inference from history,
therefore, socialism is due by 1905, perhaps
by 1902. And it will be due all over the
world, for its agitation has been interna-
tiOnal-cOSmOpOlitan.
Look about and see If this is an un-
reasonable expectation. What book or
magazine, or paper can you pick up today
and find in it no hint of the universal per-
vasion of socialist ideas? Like the anti
slavery movement before it, socialism is
disrupung all organizations. 1t is in the
pulpit, it invades schools, colleges, univer-
sites; teachers discuss it in their insti-
tuteS. The chancellor of a western uni
versity some time ago admitted to me that
IN these days educators could no more ig-
more socialism than they could ignore
chemistry or geology.
is very much like that of France just be-
fore the unforeseen turmoil was excited
which inaugurated the French revolution.
That exception is that the pervasion of
the socialist hopes does not make the peO-
pie ill-humOred. For the first time in his
tory we are to see constructive revolu-
ton; a revolution wrought by the print
and sympathy, not to hate.
Men may smile or Sneer at my thirty
year suggestion, but let them go to his
tory and they will scott no more. No man
will think me OVerSanguine in fixing upon
1905 as the limit for socialism s coming
who knows what modern socialism really
is and will open his eyes to what is GO
ing around him.

IMPLEMENT MEN AROUSED.
Railroads Discontinue Mixed Car
Shipments-Hard on Shippers.

The implement and vehicle men are just
beginning to take a tumble to a circular
which was issued a few days ago by the
Transmissouri Freight bureau, giving no
tice that, beginning September %, the
privilege would be withdrawn of loading
mixed car loads of vehicles and agricul-
tural implements. Heretofore dealers haYe
been able to secure car load rates by sell
ing their customers in small towns enough
of the two classes of goods to fill car.
Under the new rule this cannot be done,
and as a result the dealers will be obliged
to pay their freight on each car of goods
at the Iess-than-car load rate, which will
mean that their freight will cost them
double what it does at present.
Many of the big dealers say that this
ruling will ruin their trade in the smaller
towns and will seriously interfere with
them in various ways. They are entering
warm protests to the freight agents of
the city and will undoubtedly make
considered before it goes into effect.

''Thirty Years In History. -

1.-THE American Anti-S1aVery society
was organized in 1892. In 1852 the enamel
patton proclamation was ready for use.
From the organization of the Chartist
movement in England till its demands
were part of the British constitution, thir-
ty years elapsed. Several of the colonies
asserted in 1746 the doctrine that the colo
MES had independent power as to their
own affairs. The agitation began in ear
nest then in conflicts with the governors
appointed by the crown. In thirty years
a Continental congress proclaimed the
Declaration of Independence. In thirty
years after Rousseau and the EncycloPe-
dists began an organized agitation, the
Bastille fell aN1 the old monarchy of
France had ceased to be.
I'm 1851 agitation began against the at
tempts of the British landholders to re-
store the slavery from which the poor
had become partially free. In 1881, thirty
years later, came the Peasants revolt I'M
der Wat Tyler, which forced the landlords
to begin to let go. From the date when
Luther's movement ceased to be a mere
movement for reform within the existing
church and became an independent and
hostile agitation, count thirty years and
you reach the Augsburg confession, the
triumph of Iuther'S revolt.
