Competition a Failure.

Mayor Jones, of Toledo, who won such a
powerful victory for reform and public owner
ship at the recent municipal election, has of
late been beseiged with all sorts of economic
questions. man named Brooker, of North
Baltimore, Ohio, asks, "Why are American
Citizens reduced to such hardships that the al
most daily plea is, For Gods sake, give us
more work. Mayor Jones says in reply:
''It is not for lack of work that ought to be
done. Thousands of miles of impossible roads
all over northern Ohio every winter keep thou
sands of people in the rural districts almost as
efectually shut out from communication and as
socialon with their fellow men as though they
were under siege. Let us add to the wealth
of the country by making beautiful roads, good
at all seasons of the year.
millions of American citizens have walked
the streets of our cities this winter with wet
feet for want of shoes, in this vain search for
work, while thousands of shoemakers were
locked out of Massachusetts, shoe factories be-
cause the markets were overstocked, and wages
had to be reduced to afford the manufacturer
profit.

thousands Of babies have had the young life

have tried to rear them in huts unfit to house

Ohio for want of work and killed each other in
Illinois IN the fratricdal strife for chance to

"Why plead for the continuance of the COM
petitive system that is SO conspicuous failure?
Why not work for the inauguration of better

laws against them, but still they thrive, as any
system is bound to thrive that eliminates the
wicked waste of cut-throat competition"
"The truth of all this is apparent to all In

rot Paid For Want of Funds.

For short time during the Leedy admins
tration, the state treasurer was compelled to
stamp warrants mot paid for want of funds,
because the Morrill, administration left the
treasury bankrupt. On the floor in congress
that little half Curtis, held one of these
warrants above his head, and, in the most viii
famous manner, denounced the Popullsts as
thieves, robbers, defauters etc., and said the
credit of Kansas was ruined.
To-day, the Stanley administration finds it.

due to Republican extravagant appropriations

Keep It Dark.

The president and his advisers are doing
splendid work IN preventing the spread Of trea-
sonable sentiment among our new citizens at
the antpodes The dangerous congressional
debates sent out by Prot Atkinson have been
TAKEN from the mails. No copy of the Ameri-
tau constitution has been allowed to reach the
msguidtd natives of OUT hsiatic provinces; but
aas! one copy of the Declaration OF lndepend-
eute has fallen into the hands Of AguinadC.
If he sh, ,uld read those soul-stirring words o.
Jeff son At he head of his ragged regiments,
Whit ii tremendous excitement would be arous-
ed We t,ust our noble president will be able
to keep all such excitable expressions from the
knowledge of those ignorant barbarians Sup
pose they should read that speech of Patrick
Henry where he says, "Give me liberty or give
me DEATH" or those other words OF delusion
and folly spoken by that miserable old rebel
John Adams: "Sink or swim, live or die, SUR
vive or perish, am for the declaration. II is
my living sentiment, and by the blessings of
God it shall be my dying sentiment. Inde-
pendence now and independence forever" Or
suppose some wicked traitor should send to our
misguided brethren this eloquent extract from
one of the speeches of our great and good pres
ident "Forcible annexation is criminal ag-
gression." But worst of all, just imagine the
"Swamp Fox of the Philippines reading the
life of Francis Merton, the "Swamp Fox of the
revolution: How for long years he hid in the
woods and the swamps, pouncing out OF the
darkness destroying British squadron and
then hurrying back to his hiding place, fight
ing and running, attacking and retreating,
keeping up partisan warfare against every
encouragement until the oppressor was driven
from the Crrolnas and then coming out into
the broad sunlight to be received with joyful
acclamations by his redeemed countrymen and
hailed as hero by all succeeding generations
of men, All this kind of incendary literature
should be carefully kept out of the hands OF
the Filipnos; otherwise they may think that

as applicable to them as to us.-Nonconformist.

Advocates Advanced Socialism.

Mayor Jones, of Toledo, read paper at the
conference of Charities and Correction, at Gin
cinnati, on Thursday of last week. The pa
per contained the following, besides many 9TH
er good things. His subject was, "Charity or
Justice-Which?" He said:
cable bodied men are ever walking the
streets, alleys and highways of our country,
pleading for work. yet there is no lack OF use
tul work that ought to be done. lnasmuch as
private interests and private greed have failed
to find a plan that will let all who are willing
work have the right to live, the time seems
right for collective effort to solve the problem;
inasnuch as labor produces all wealth, let us
have more wealth. Ruskn says that 'the
wealth of nation may be estimated by the
number of happy people employed in making
useful things
"Let US set the example of state made
wealthy according to this lofty conception; in
short, let us apply ourselves to the task of in
augurating and perfecting social system, con-
ceived and carried out upon scientific lines, and
poverty, crime, vice and human misery will be
things of the past and the prayer of our Lord
will have been Iealized the kingdom of Heav-
en- will be set up here and His will done on
earth as in Heaven

knowledge of the wages paid tor labor IN
should be sufficient to keep American laborers
at home. If they wish to take their labor to
that market, it must be sold as cheapy as the
labor Of their competitors, as they will receive
no larger averages because the Philippine Is
lands are possession of the United States.
The best-skilled labor in Manila receives the
equivalent of SIS per month in gold, while the
average earnings of the working classes will
not equal 81 per month in gold, out of which
provision must be made for the support of ones
family. The best clerical labor, such as ac-
countants, cashiers; book-keepers and. the EN-
ployes of the larger houses, receive from $50 to
500 per month in gold. The small number Of
Europeans, excepting the Spanish, vino are en-
gagged in business in the Philippines are either
the proprietors or responsible managers of es-
tablished firms. The total absence of Euro
pean and American aborers in the Orient is
sufficient demonstration that their employment
is not needed. 1t is quite true that the cost OF
living is merely nominal in comparison with
the cost III the United States, but even if one
should save ones entire income, it would scarce
ly amount to competence. 1t mistake to in
duge the supposition that the Filipinos are I'M
couth savage', incapable of performing skilled
labor that requires the exercise of judgment.
The population living along the coast and in
the cities has attained surprising degree Of

duce an infinite variety of articles of their man.

trust plank in their next national platform. If
they are sincere why wait so long to show their

Several more creditors appeared on the
scene yesterday and filed attachments
against the stock. Lars Jensen, Justice CT

on claim for 1913 due on a promissory
note by Adams. The First National bank
Of this city also jumped in with an at

Jensen G. Mortensen attached for a claim for
a small amount.

Goldstein claims TO have paid Adams 5000

resented to him that the stock was free from
all liens excepting one for unpaid rent
amounting to about $500 and this amount
Adams paid in the presence OF Goldstein.
Adams formerly lived In Boston, Mass,
where he has a brother engaged in the
manufacture OF boots and shoes. Adams
failed several yers ago and his stock was
attached by creditors, among the number
being his brother. The stock was sold at

his brother was the purchaser. Immediately
afterwards Adams appeared in charge of the

to the Iowa delegation In congress has been
drawn and largely signed asking that the

this section of the state are anxious that
the Chicago & Northwestern secure the
road, as it would mean much better traffic
arrangements for Sioux City and other
points along the Missouri river, and prob
ably would insure the extension of the
much h-needed Movile branch. Signatures
representing large moneyed interests have
been secured, and every effort will be made
to get congress to take up the question as
