If workingmen take advantage of a

which they produce, the plutocratic press

them down to the lowest wage, the

RADICAL
Reforms PROPOSED BY the
Mew Socialist MAYOR Of
HavexzzW, Mass.

HAVERHILL, Mass, Jan. 3.-John G.
Chase, elected on a Socialistic platform, took
the oath of office as mayor of Haverhill yes
terday. In his inaugural speech Mr.. Chase
assured the members OF the city government
and the people that every atom of power"
possessed by the mayor will be exercised
in the defense and support OF the principles
of Socialism in so far as they may be APP
plicable to a municipality"
The mayor then referred to the desirabi-
lily Of preserving equal rights upon which
1.-THE liberty and happiness of every man.
woman and child are conditioned" and as
serted that these are possible of attainment
''oniy through the establishment of the CO.
operative commonwealth"
Continuing, Mayor Chase said: II believe
that every power the municipality possesses
should be piled at the disposal of the people
in the interest Of civilization With that
aim in view, l submit the following specific
recommendation:
First, the passage of an order establish
ing the minimum wage for street employees
at 81 for eight hours work.
Second, union wages and conditions to
prevail in all brick and stone masons work
performed under the direction OF the street
department
Third, all city printing to bear the union

Inc mayor tnen look up the SUBJECT VI tHo
unemployed, which, he said, had developed
from the displacement of labor by ma
chinery and the concentration of capita and
q question which, he said no municipality
could solve as it had become a national and
1nterna tiOnal one.
Yet" he said some little relief at least
can be afforded by this city government.
therefore recommend:
First. that you proceed to secure a tract
of land suitable for the raising of food pro-
ducts and that such Of the unemployed as
desire be permitted to said land the
city to furnish proper seeds and tools.
Second, the enlargement of the fuel yard
at the city farm to such proportions as will
permit all who desire to earn by their labor
such fuel as they may require.
Third, the appropriation of such an
amount of money as circumstances may
warrant to be used in providing en-
ployment directly upon public works, not in
competition with the regular employees of
the city. but upon special works two kinds
of which l herewith Suggest: First, i'm
provement of the park system; second con-
struction Of system of bicycle paths
through all principal thoroughfares."
Mayor Chase condemned the system Of
contracting with the lowest bidder for city
work and said the system should not be toll
Grated. He said:
Low bids mean cheap work. Cheap
work means cheap men and low wages and
low wages lower the standard Of citizenship
The city should perform its own work and
furnish it's own material, giving employment
to it's citizens"
The mayor advocated increased appropri-
atoms for educational purposes and nun c.

GOOD WORK IN THE SLUMS.
1.-THE work Of the slums is splendidly done
both by men and women in America, where
there Is no state church. Reverence for
church and things Of church Is greater than
it has ever seemed to me to be in England
or even in Rome.
''I love America because it is big and be-
cause it's bigness is constantly impressing
the imagination and stimulating the heart.
/ love its people because they are free. with
the freedom which the rest of the world
takes as by stealth and which they claim
openly as their right. / love them because
they are the most Industrious, earnest,
active and ingenious people on earth, be-
cause they are the most moral and religious.
and above all, the most sober people in the
world; because, in spite Of all the shallow
judgments Of superficial observers, they are
the most childlike in national character, the
easiest to move to laughter, the readiest to
be touched to tears. the most absolutely
true in their impulses, and the most gener-
Gus in their applause.

CLUB OFFERS.


All reformers know the value of re-
form papers in our cause.
The great educational campaign and
reform work of the future rests largely
upon the widest distribution of our lead
ing reform papers at the lowest cost.
Money spent for brass bands, torch
light professions and free railroad ex-
cursions may bring temporary gains.
Money spent for reform papers sent
into the homes of the masses does re-
form work that Is permanent.
We will send to one address. or to

ALLIANCE NOT IN FAVOR.
Nobody on the other side of the ocean
calls for an Anglo-American alliance. whetn-
er in the form of treaty or of an under
standing. Nobody talks of it, and doubt If
1t has ever impressed itself on the Ameri-
can mind as serious idea at all. That is not
to say that the good feeling for England is
not deep and widespread in America 1t is,
and Englands friendliness to America dur
Ing the war has strengthened the ties be-
tween the two countries. Any public refer
ence to that friendliness is sure to provoke
applause.
1T does not require any knowledge of
economic problems to see that in one i'm
portant particular America is master of the
world. Already that amazing country alb
serbs all races of the earth, and every race
that 1t absorbs 1T feeds and strengthens 1t
may be stated sure though understand
Ing fact that no civilized race whatever has
yet been known to decline or diminish on
American soil
"As for the wickedness of the big Ameri-
can Cities Chicago ard New York it can
only seem greater than anything else in
the world to those who do not know the
wickednesS Of our own cities at home Our
appalling stories of the ways of foreign cities
usually come from people who live the most
humdrum lives in London. The secret is a
very simple one They are explorers only
when they go abroad.
'If 1 were asked what is the worst evil
winch comes or the American thirst for
prosperity I should say the pride Of wealth.
Nevertheless, the corrodng effect of the
great wealth shows itself on American So
ciety in more ways than one. The marriages
of Engishmen to American women may
perhaps bring about the Anglo-American al
lance which Mr.. Chamberlain so much de-
sires, but whore the reasons for such unions
are merely wealth on the one side and van
tty on the other, without any apparent mo-
tive, the loss will be to America in the low
ering Of the moral tone of that part of her
people which comes within the atmosphere
of such transactions.
THE quest of material prosperity by no
means absorbs the energies Of the American
people. 1t would be impossible to find
among the nations Of the world moro read
ers to the thousand OF crulation. And
Americans not only read more than we do
They read better. No other nation pays so
much attention to the education Of it's
women. and in no other country does the
woman stand so high or play so serious
part.
THE religious life of America Is active to
the point Of fostering nearly every crazy
potion that takes the form of faith. AS for
the highest religious life Of the American.

How AguinaIdo Came to Lead.

General Emilio Agulnaldo y Fanny,
the President of the Filipinos, is little
more than 80 years of age. He was
born in linus, lite village near Ca
vi'te. His father was a planter and the
son was first sent to the College of
versity of STU Thomas, in
Manila. The youths education cost
the father much privation, for the cost
OF pursuing a course of study at these
institutions is got less lthap 200
francs year, and the elder Aguinaldo
had great difficulty to make both ends
meet.
At st. Jean de Lateran the student
is drilled in Spanish and Latin and the
classics, and when he is able to trans
late the masterpieces of Rome with IA
cllity he is ready for the University OF
st. Thomas. This, like the college, is
under the Dominicans. In the univer-
sity the principal studies are physics,
metaphysics, theology, jurisprudence,
law and medicine.
Aguinaldo was ,adjudged a very dull
student and gave no promise Of dis
tinction. In fact, the Dominicans., f.
nally sent him home in sheer dispair.
Aguinaldo then entered the normal
school of the Jesuits Here he made
some progress, but at this time the faith
er died, when the youth was forced to
return home to take care of his patrl-
mony, which was threatened by the
lawsuits instituted by the Order of
Recollections-an organization com
posed of the greatest land proprietors
OF the colony.
1t was in 1893 that DR.. Rizan created
the Philippine League, the object of
which was to unite politically the var
ious parts of the archipelago. Rizal
was banished, but shortly afterward
the order of Katipunan was formed,
which soon had more than 250,000
members The object of this society
was cooperation for the protection of
the colonists.
The government then, fearing an al
lance with the Freemasons and the
various secret orders hostile to the
Spanish rule, began to take active
measures against it, Aguinaldo was
suspected OF being one of the leaders
A Spanish officer, with a squad of ma
tive soldiers, came to arrest him.
Aguinaldo, when confronted by the Of
ficer. promptly shot him then eloquent
ly appealed to his companions to leave
the service Of their foreign oppressors
and strike blow for liberty.

use of The expression widow woman. "
No one thinks of saying "wtdower
man." yet the use of the expressions
are precisely alike. A widow is a
woman who has lost her husband by
death; a widower a man whom death
has robbed of his wife; and that fact
cannot be made stronger or more em-
phatlc by calling one widow wom-

The Jewish Easter.

The Jewish Easter begins next Sat-
urday, March 25, at sundown, and con-
tinues for seven days. The first and
last days are considered holy days, and
the intervening days are termed half
holy days.
Easter is celebrated by all the Jews
OF the world in commemoration of the
deliverance of the Children OF Israel
from Egypt
Besides the regular services at the
regular houses OF worship. there is a
very beautiful ceremony called "Sedar'
performed at each residence on the
first and second evenings of Easter
week. Jewish tradition tells us that
the last supper of our Lord, when all
OF his disciples were present, was the
same "Sedar" ceremony.-,rimes Re-

Chlldren,s Lies.

Several school teachers and parents
in this city have set out to make a sci
enllfc study of chlldren's lies and ly-
ing habits
The Investigators have already got
so far as to make a preliminary classi-
fication of lies and to frame certain
generalizations concerning them. One
of these is that girls tell more lies than
boys do. The teachers are disposed to
account for this by the fact that some
lies are told to conceal things of which
those who tell them are ashamed and
as girls care more than boys do for ap-
pearances they more frequently pre-
varicate for that purpose.
But there is a better explanation, we
think. The teachers themselves tell
us tnat by far the most numerous class
of lies are those told to avoid punish
ment, in which they confirm Queen
Elizabeth's dictum that "a lie is mere
ly an intellectual method of meeting a
difficulty. AS girls are more afraid
OF punishment than boys, perhaps this
may account for the numerical super
iorlty of their lies.
Another interesting generalization
made by these observers is that when a
boy is caught lying he gives the lie up,
but girl similarly caught persists in
the falsehood even when she knows its
hopelessness. The explanation sug-
gested is that the boy has "a more log
ical mind" than the girl.
The most interesting of all the OBJ
servations is that many boys and girls
with vivid imaginaItions tell "whop-
pers" from the mere love of astonish-
ing their fellows and interesting them,
and sometimes as purely wanton in
diligence of a creative faculty whose
exercise is pleasing to themselves. But
no proper classification should include
such falsehoods in the category of lies
They are not lies at all. They are
mere romances, fiction in its earliest
and crudest form, poems and novels by
unframed hands. If the investigation
is to be fruitful in its best way the in
quirers should from the first learn and
recognize this distinction. Tt makes
all the difference between turpitude
and innocent intellectual exercise
