While scientists and alleged scien-
lists are quarreling over the merits of
compressed air zfrom a theoretical
standpoint, theT public is waiting
somewhat anxiously the result of
practical tests. Fhe people have not
forgotten that scientists of the pres

shadow of doubt that it was scien
tifcally impossible for boat to pro-
pei itself by steam, and on the other
hand they REM Iember that many

there is a great deal of kicking about
the prairie chicken season. closing

vents their dogs xorking after Oct. l,

ture takes and With for years has

Will Join a Colony.


One of Dickey county's respected
citizens, Charles; Caldwell of Kent.
has made arrangements to go to the
State of Washing g6en about the first
of the year and Become member of
the Cooperative Brotherhood, So
cialistic colony that is being esta b.
lished in that new state.
In this colony the old idea of com
mon property prevails. Each indi-
vidual who is able will be a corpora
tor, and for his work in any of the in
dustries to be established from time
to time is to receive pay check for
each days work performed. This pay
check is receivable for anything the
colony produces, and the co-operator
will also share alike with all others in
the wealth created by all the cooper
ators, but this wealth is never to be
distributed to the5indiv;duals, except
SO much as they are able to use as
they journey through life. When a
member dies the community will take
care of his widow and orphan, as they
will also take cares of the sick and in
firm and the agedSwho are unable to
work. {
There will be houses provided for
those who wish to- live in separate
families, and there: will be a hotel for
those who wish to live in them. There
will be public kitchen and public
laundry, schools, colleges, libraries,
amusement halls provided at the ex-
pense of the Brotherhood, all fur
nished at "cost" to those who patron
ize them, payment being made in the
labor checks. &
Charley has been socialist for
years-a strong believer in the theory
he will now try practical demonstra-
ton Of For his sake we hope the
new departure will be a success, but
the idea seems so unnatural and diff
ferent from what we know of working
to live and living to work we are III
doubt as to its chanaeszofuasssecess.

Secretary Wilson's Idea.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
came to this cond dusion-as he tells
the Washington $tar-after his trip
to the South wit the president:
81 am one ma9 who believes that
the Southern NAH understands the
negro better tba the men of the
North. When D talked to the colored
boys down herei ihe last time I ad-
vised them to keep out of politics.
'Now, boys,' 81 aid get out your pen
ellis and paper. I In one column put
down the salariss Of every politician
holding Office i'lsthis (your) country.
In parallel col hmm put down the
value of the egae laid in the country.
The hens Wills make more money
every day tHn the politicians.
Therefore, raise more chickens, raise
YOUR meats and 3earn to make your
farms pay and Hroduce Livelihood.
Keep out of politics. This is really
the salvation of the negro. Educa-
t on and scientia ac farming will bring
h m wealth and Independence"
And this advia ae is along the lines
of the advice gisen to the colored
men by their owb leaders-such men
as Booker Washington-who are
working for the advancement of the
colored race. The Southern people
appreciate wealtb more than any
body; and whenSthe negro accumu-
lates property and education, he will
be power in the land. This is
problem to work. itself out-in time.
