RERRON,s scREED.
He is Ready to Leave This Country
and Go to Russia.

ana no 70 RUSSIA.
New York, Jan. 23.-Geo. D. Heron
formerly professor in Iowa college,
who is now on his way to visit Count
Tolstoi, said in lecture Sunday night
before the Social Reform club that
what Protestant Christendom, termed
religious authority was essentially a
monopoly.
''There is no difference" he said, She
tween the oil combination that says
pay unto me so much tribute or else GO
without oil, and church that says
worship as / say or be damned. 1t is
exactly the same principle which lies
back of the Standard Oil combination
and the Protestant church.
Socialism has come to us not as an
economic change, but it stands for a
new spirit and a new world. From va.
rious forms of individualism, thru cap
italism and various forms of distribu-
ton from what man is supposed ito
earn and what he really needs, we
must finally reach that stage where the
human need is the only recognized
coin of the realm for decent society
The central idea of socialism is that OF
every human being being an equal in
heritor of worldly benefits. And in
this day all things, objective and sub
jective, are tending towards the social
istic idea.
.One of the grave questions is the
effect socialism will have on religion

Two DECISIONS.
The interstate Commerce Commission
Hands Down a Couple of Deep Ones.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
Hands Down a Couple of Deep Ones.
Washington, Jan. 20.-The interstate
commerce commission yesterday an
nounced the decision of the case of the
Savannah bureau of freight and trans
portation against the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, in which it laid
down the ruling that the carrier can
not lawfully maintain the adjustment
of rates which in practice prevents
shippers from availing themselves OF
the principal market which they have
long been using and confers substan-
tial monopoly upon the new market in
which for reasons of its own it has a
greater interest.
Another ruling is, when the carrier
makes the rates to two competing mar
kets which give one practical mono
polv over the other because it can Sc
cure reshipments from the favored To-
cality and none from the other, it goes
beyond serving its fair interests as re-
CARDS the statutory requirement. Of
relative equality as between persons,
localities and particular descriptions Of
traffic.

ton by the supervisors in their CON

The following resolution was adopt
ed:
Resolved, That it is the sentiment of
this convention, that counties can take
as good care of the harmless and in
durable insane rs the state, and at a
less expense than the state does, and
we are unanimously opposed to the
return of these patients to the care of
the state, and we request the legisla-
tive body of the state to protect us by
enactment of that effect. in that the
several counties of the state having
county asylums and those that may
hereafter be provided with suitable
hospitals or asylums to have the care
of the same.
1t was further recommended that all
road tax shall be paid into the county
treasury and that the maximum rate
of levy for county road fund be fixed
at 2 mills.
The association also recommended
the following enactment be made by
the legislature in relation to the aban-
donment of families and neglecting to
support the same:
Any parent who shall willfully aban-
don his minor child or children leaving
such child orschildren in destitute con-
dition, or being of sufficient ability TO
maintain or to earn the means with
which to support him or them, or who
shall unreasonably refuse or neglect
to provide for such child or children;
and any husband who shall abandon
his wife, leaving her in destitute con-
dition, or being of sufficient ability to
furnish her means of support or to
earn such means shall unreasonably
refuse or neglect to do so shall be pun
ished by Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary not more than one year or by
imprisonment in the county jail not
more than six months and a fine of not
more than $500. In any prosecution
begun under this act, proof of neglect
to provide for the support of wife
or minor child as aforesaid shall be
prima facie evidence that such neglect
is unreasonable.

Washington, Jan. 19-The house yes
terday passed the senate bill to extend
the powers of the directors of the cen

amendment to authorize the director
to contract for extra printing with
