THE SOCIALISTS DREAM.

riman, OF California, the social democ-
rags candidate for the vice presiden-
cy, visited Dies Moines and was qles-
toned concerning his opinion Of the
Rev. George ID. Heron. '.Dr. Herrun,''
he said. gets al his socialism IL, a diff
terent way from our way. He works it
out from the standpoint of ethics. We
work on the basis of econoncs.'
But the one idea dominates the THO
men. 1t Is the idea that social equalit.
can be established By mare transfer of
the title TO property from the Individual
to the government by a mere change
from private To common ownership.
Whiie holding apparently that happi-
ness is external and consis:sain the joy
of possession they strangely fail TO see
that, as there could be under their sys-
TEN no individual possession, so, ae-
cording to the logic of their own theory
as To the source OF happiness there
could be no happiness. They contend,
and 1t is generally admitted, that the
pursuit of gain is. the chief bnsiness OF
life. II is the motive for Industrial eff

Individual whose ssltishness Or. Heron
Z deplorSs and what motive for effort
would remain with him? What reason
would ne have 10 struggle for anything
more than the bare necessities of life?
None whatever. Therefore society un-
der the cooperative system would pros
duce the bare necessities of life and
nothing more. With social equality be-
tween the millionaire and the pauper
established. they would share COM!
mon lot and that lot the pauperss. The
millionaire would lose wealth and both
millionaire and pauper would lose llb-
erty. Freedom would disappear to-
gether With all the product of labor,
above the requirements OF subsistence.
The temptation to sh!rk, TO which the
tndolent only now yield, would extend
to the industrious because they would
be deprived of a motive Tor industry.
The complaint that there are those who
wish TO reap where they have not sown.

THE CHAIR LEFT VACANT.

S1dlei tSlly.J
He .s dead. This chair will know
him no more. And this is the reason
we are shrouded in gloom today
For thirty-five years it has been his
pride that the editorial columns Of the
Gate City We're unsurpassed by those of
any other paper in the state. He made
them what they We're, and his pride was
doubly justified. When Sam Clark
wrote editorials they commanded at
tention; for he put his whole self into
them. And this was much, for he was
f0rceful writer: and more, he was a
beautiful writer and philosophical
one. And while his death is the peoples
loss. and while all will mourn him, yet
we have cause for greater sorrow. for
our main strength and our living force
has been taken away. The Gate City
and Sam Clark have been one and the
same
And while we mourn his death, we
glory in his life. In life he accomplish
ed much. 1t is given to but few of us
to extend our fame beyond the limits
Of our Immediate surroundings, and
when 1t reaches to the state, and to the
nation, our friends, at least, congratu-
latesus upon being great To seek fame
10 not considered a laudabie ambition,
yet 1t is only another name for ambi-
ton. But Sam Clark never sought
tame. He went on and on in his own
modest way, doing always what he
thought Was best, and always what he
thought was right. until the people rec
psnized his greatness. He was great
man, and whatever public fame he had
was forced upon him. Yet he was proud
of his record, as we'll he might be.
u Sam Clark had one characteristic
more than another it was Kindness. He
had heart like a child, and could not
bear the thought that he had been un-
kind or unjust. We Aave known him to
write editorials, on the impulse. editor
ials that other editors would have al
lowed to run, and often when the type
was set, to conclude that perhaps he
had not been quite just or quite kind,
and order the matter killed. We have
known him to do this, not once but
many times. He was man with firm
convictions, and sometimes in his en-
thusiasm for cause. he would say
things that would cut those holding an
opposite View, but he would feel it
much sooner than the one hurt and
would meekly crave forgiveness. He
could not. go to sleep 1T night feeling
that he had made an enemy that day
Sam Clark is dead; his memory only
Sremains with US, and that Will live as
long as the Gate City stands. His place
can never be filled, but in our feeble
way We will try TO make it as. nearly
what he would have 1t to be as posi-
BILE. Our loss is great. and while we
mourn, the city, the state, tic nation

JAPS RUN THROUGH

Tacoma. Oct. 26.-State Labor Con-
missioner Blackman has been investi-
eating the question of the importation
of thousands of japanese laborers into
the Puget sound country. The pres
ent agitation against the employment
of Orientals by the labor unions Of
Tacoma, Seattle and Everett brings to
light the fact that Labor Commissioner
Blackman and Assistant United States
Attorney Claypool several months ago
secured an important affidavit bearing
directly on this subject.
The affidavit was made by J. +.
Bishop who was arrested about a year
ago for taking funds belonging to w.
II. Remington, who holds contract
for furnishing laborers to the Northern
Pacific and other northwestern rail-
roads. Bishop was bookkeeper for
Remington prior to his arrest. His
affidavit states that in August, 1898,
when the demand for laborers greatly
exceeded the supply of white men, the
railroad threatened 10 cancei Its con-
tract with Remington unless more men
were quickly furnished. He says that,
acting under pressure, Remington gave
Bishop $1,000 with which to go to Van
couyer, b. c., ana employ japanese,
furnishing each man the $50 required
by the Government to get here, with
railroad fares TO Tacoma and Seattle.
The plan was that when the men
reached Seattle Remington's agent was
to collect for them all the unexpended
money and return 1t to Bishop at Van
couver for use in forwarding the next
lot of men. He says many japanese
were secured in this way, and later,
Bishop alleges, Remington engaged
Japanese named Takaisha to go to
Japan and secure more laborers. Black
man has laid his evidence before Sec
rotary Gage.
