Worse Than Waste.

With vast areas of land in the west
that by the expenditure of few millions
of dollars for irrigation would sustain
millions of white men in comfort and
happiness;
With the slums of our cities crowded
with men and women and childred who
clamor for the education that will hit
them for citizenship in the republic;
With public improvements, roads,
bridges, ETC., imperatively needed even in
the most thickly settled parts of the
country;
With taxes pressing heavily upon those
least able to bear;
With opportunities for the expenditure
of every dollar of surplus money in ad-
vancidg the enlightenment, the comfort
and the civilization of the masses of the
people who live in these forty-five states
We are spending $4,000 a day, ac-
cording to official figures, upon war.

Is this glory? Is this duty? is this des'
ting?-New York World.

What Is Socialism,

Two or three little editorial squibs in
The Dawn of late calls forth the ques-
ton: "What is socialism,"
We know there has been much preju-
dice against even the word socialism, to
say nothing about the principle advo-
Gated by the socialists of this country,
but we are glad to know that socialist
principles are becoming more popular
and prejudice against them gradually
dying out. The prejudice was never well
grounded and invariably came of ignor-
ance of the real principles or because it
was not popular
Socialism does not mean violence; it
means a revolution, but Il legal rcyolu-
ton by the votes of the people.
Socialism does not mean dividing
up; it means running the railroads, the
trusts combines, etc., in the interest OF
the whole people, with all the people
owning them together.
Socialism does not mean to abolish
private property in the things people use;
on the CONTRARY, it means to let nine
tenths have much more than they can
get now, and to let the other tenth have
as much as they have any real use tor.
Socialism does not mean that you have
to wait ntilevery oneis angelic and un-
selfish before it can be a fact. 1t is COM
ing soon, because the working people,
who now constitute nine-tenths OF all
the people, will come to see that it will
be a good thing for them.
You say you are opposed to socialism,
How do you know you are? Have you
ever given the question any study? Are
you not condemning principle before
YOU have even a remote idea of what is
involved in the question? Are you in
favor of the postal system we have in
this country OF course you are. Well
that is socialism pure and simple.
Are you in favor of government own
ership of the government as we now
have it? If so you are quite favorable
to socialism.
Are you in favor of direct legislation.
a government by, for and of the peoele
without the intervention of even blood
sucking vampire of any description or
character, the people making and un-
making all laws under which they must
live and obey?
If you answer yes, you must then adj
nit that you are in favor of the cardinal
principles of socialism; and yet you are
bowling around about socialism, con-
founding it with anarchism and other is
sues about which you know little or
nothing except what you have heard
some little jumping jack or whiffit OF
a politician say in some speech as he was
securing the country in search OF votes
to elect himself to some office where he
can get his arm in the peoples treasury
or the public crib up to his elbow.

Signs of Victory.

Four years ago 48 more electoral votes
would have elected Bryan. To be elected
now he must get that many votes in ad-
dition to those he had in 1896, and ii he
loses any of his former votes he must get
enough in addition to make up for the
loss.
In 1896 several states on each side
were evenly divided. A slight drift
would have sent them over the line.
Everything depends now, therefore, on
the direction of the drift. A small ma
iority in a state is safe if the drift is in
the direction of making it secure.
eThe Vermont election indicates that
the drift there is toward Bryan. The
Democrats are indisputably stronger in
Vermont now than they were four years
ago. What light does that throw on
the possibilities in other statesI
The Republican vote in Vermont has
fallen off about 10 per cent as compared
with the corresponding election in 1896,
while the Democratic vote has increased
about 16 per cent.
Indiana has Is electoral votes. In
1896 the Republican vote there was $685.
754, and the Democratic 3O5, 573. lfthe
Republicans lose 10 per cent and the
Democrats gain 16 per cent the Repub-
lican vote in Indiana this year will be
291,379 and the Democratic 354.573,
leaving Democratic plurality of 63,0s3.
