Christian Endeavor Convention.

There has been a very large attend
ance at the Christian EndeavOr con-
ventiOn in Detroit the past week
At the meeting Wednesday the peo-
pie were welcomed in an address by
Rev. {. B. Newman, after which a
message from President Mckinley
was read, followed by responses from
EndeavOrers from foreign countries
At the business meeting, it was found
that the past year has been one of
remarkable prosperity for the soci
ETY.. The growth has been large, one
hundred thousand people having
been added to the ranks of Endeav-
orers. Their forts ia behalf of uni
versal peace and International arbi-
tration has received the heartiest ap-
proval of many of the leading men in
Europe and America, and has called
forth on several occasions kilograms
and letters of appreciation and graf.
itude from the Peace Commission at
the Hague. Resolutions against the
Sunday newspapers and urging Con-
gress not to allow Roberts, the Nor
mon, to sit in that body, were adopt
ed. The convention was a very en-
thusiastic one.

The Presidential boom for Angus

educated in the south, married a
southern woman and is very popular
in that section, was wounded i'll the
house of its friends Fourth of July.
Ex-Gov. Hogg of Texas was the ora

and he knocked the Tammany bosses

Five-cent fares have been resumed
on the electrics between Montpelier
and Barre. The corporation ad-
vanced the price to ten cents a few
weeks ago, but the people kicked,
claiming that the terms of the fran
chise which had been voted the cleo
trio road should be lived up to. 1t
was a strong fight, but Alderman
Wheelock Of Montpelier L" took the

Governor Shaw of Iowa in his aG-
dress before the Corn Belt Editorial
Association, an excerpt of which is
re-published in this issue, sets the
metes and bounds of success in news
paper life, measuring it partially
from his profession, the law. AS the
Governor is of the sturdy Lamoille
County stock, it is not to be wor-
dered at that he takes the grounds
he does-for fairness has always been
the controversial point from the
time of Gov. TyrOn and the New
Hampshire Grants with Vermonters,
and it is pleasing to note that the
Governor of great state has not
forgotten his early training amid
these green clad hills, aud has the
courage of his convictions, even when
speakingto the Fourth Estate of a
commonwealth far removed from
the scenes of his boyhood days.
Fairness never injured any cause
yet, and may the day be far away
when it will.

As the doctrine is no longer denied that
political power is inherent in the whole
people and should be exercised for their
benefit. so it is becoming more generally
recognized that industrial power, or the
power that capital gives,should also belong
to the whole people, and should be exer-
cised for their benefit. But, the question
arises, how can socialism be bADught about?
VIII the masses arise and take the
accumulated capital of the country. the
railroads, telegraph lines, manufacturing
plants, land, mines, etc, from the owners
and administer them for the benefit Of all ?
To this it may be answered that under
the right of eminent domain the State can
and frequently does condemn and take any
property that may be needed for public
science there can be no question as to
the rights of the people in the matter
But the con6scation of capital would be
altogether unnecessary.
Capital, in its restricted sense, is merely
that portion of the product of labor that
is not needed for immediate consumption.
1t is surplus earnings which have aceumu-
lated 10 spite of the drawbacks of the
competitive system. Under the greater
efficiency and economy of scientific con-
centration, the producing caracity of man
is SO enormously increased that the masses
could easily afford to say to those ho
regard wealth as superior to man. Take
your well-earned. or your i'll gotten gains,
yonr fine houses and furniture, your horses
and carriages, your silver and gold, your
jewels and your works of art-take them
and enjoy all the pleasures they bring you,
but take your hands out of our pockets
and yonr feet from our necks we make
no claim for the accumulations OF the past,
but the avenues of production must be left
open 10 al. :"
It is self evident that the right to pro.
duce and distribute those things necessary
to mans existence and comfort should be
exercised for the general good. Mattress
gifts to man are for the benefit of all. and
should be monopolized by none
