who Shall They Bet

(Butler (MO.) Free Press.)
The last issue of the Missouri World
contained sensible editorial on the
question of leadership; and while Bro
Dixon was fair to Barker, he declared
his first choice to be gallant Tom Wat
son. Outside of this he so nearly ex-
presses our own views and feelings we
could scarcely have done better our
self. No one admires Watson more
than we; no one has been more loyal in
his defense, and II he should become
the candidate of the Peoples party no
one would work harder for his election
than we would. But we confess that we
were much disgusted with his course In
81 and '98, at time when the scattered
remains of Populism needed his elec-
trifying voice and inspiring pen he
sulked. At such a time-when the dark
ness could be felt-when no ray of sun
light cheered the respondent hosts of
pOpulism, one came into our midst and
voluntarily knocked at our doors. He
came like man-frankly cheerily and
with a message of love and hope. He
brought with him ripe experience, pro-
found scholarship, broad craftsmanship
and the capacity to do and dare great
things for mankind. From that day to
this we have read The American with
critical care, fearing always that we
would find some laxity in his views
when measured by the immutable stand
ard of populism. But nay! We record
it with genuine delight. Not a word
has he spoken, not line has he writ
ten, to our knowledge, has varied a
hairs breadth from the true gospel of
populism. He has Illuminated every
proposition. He has gone beyond the
Omaha declaration and is in harmony
with more advanced ideas Of the Gin.
cinnati platform. No honest Populist
can find fault with his conduct, his
arguments or his fidelity to the party.
Wharton Barker is Intellectually great,
He is quiet Christian gentleman and
scholar. He is the best qualified man
within our ranks to lead US to victory;
and We have often thought that In the
event Of his election no man we might
select would b safer Or more trust

AUGUSTA Gas.s Feb. 1S.-Luthel
Johnson, -eee 90 years of age, an ex-Confed-
crate seldier and IN applicant for a
pension, working from sunrise to
sunset to sell his body to the highest
bidder.
This man, we'll known to everybody
in this city, has been q citizen Of
Augusta for many years and lives with
his wife and chilAren in West End,
where the family live through the ef-
forts OF a small son, who works in a
nearby factory.
Several days ago the man, SO strange
in his ideas of life and employment, be-
gan walking up ssd down the streets Of
Augusta, asking everyone whom he met
to buy his body.
Two years ago, while at work on the
roof of a house in this city, he fell to
the ground, fracturing his leg and dis
locating his hip. He was confined to
his bed for many weeks, then walked on
crutches for while and now gets along
with the aid of stick. The limb is
two inches shorter than the other one
and he is permanently disabled. He ii
an uneducated man and knows no other
business. He lives In West End with
his wife and child, where they subsist
somehow on the wages earned by one
boy in the mill.
Johnson is q Confsderate veteran, and
as a member Of Co. q, Second South
Carolina volunteers, he served over two
years, most of-ths time in the defense
of Charleston. then during the retreat

rendered at Greensboro. After he re-
ceived his ihjury he applied for a pen

on account Of some technicality it was
turned down. He applied again last
year and was again unsuccessful. He
then wrote to Gov. Chandler, who

A Socialist In Congress-.
Hon. e. r. Ridgley, congressman from
Kansas, in speaking on the gold stand.
ard bill. said:
Socialists are multiplying by hund-
reds Of thousands throughout the United
States. This bill will recruit their
ranks by millions. Their power will
soon be felt upon the floor of congress
and in every department. They have
the true solution Of this mighty and
growing trust problem. They lay down
as their foundation rock the broad prin-
ciple that all capital for the successful
production and distribution of all things
necessary to the highest social human
comfort, mental and social enjoyment,
which of necessity must be used col
lectively shall be owned collectively,
and that such property as can best be
used individually shall be owned indi-
vidually. Their cry is: Public owner
ship Of public utilities BY this simple
policy they propose and will forever
abolish the bondage of capital and make
1t serve man instead Of, as now, de-
manding service from man. We are
by this very bill unwittingly fastening
and making the establishment Of social
ism an absolute certainty. As one who
believes in the fundamental principles
OF socialism, take a degree of salts
faction in seeing this bill enacted into
law, knowing that it will hasten the
overthrow OF the present system OF
capitalism it is designed to serve. AS it
goes down the people will establish In
its place a government restored to and
used by and for the people. That gov
ernment will be true socialism. Under
this new order, soon to be universally
established, every toiler will get more
than double pay over present rates,
while all interest and tribute to capt.
tai will be forever abolished. Our gov
ernment railroads will render better
service at one-fourth present charges,
paying double wages for eight hours
labor. The people everywhere will find
employment in healthy, we'll ventilated
factories and mines, each one receiving
the full value of his product, our women
will enjoy happy homes, while free to
choose their own occupation, owning
and controlling all they produce, while
no child will be compelled to work to
the sacrifice Of its education and
health. May God speed the day when
all these happy conditions shall be
realities. They are all possible and
in sight. To the millions Of
overburdened and heavy-hearted people
extend congratulations, not because Of
this legislation, but in spite Of it, for
Its burdens will arouse again the slum-
bering spirit Of liberty and the tyranny
Of capitalism will be overthrown, while
In its stead industrial and social free
dom will be established"
Let the good work go on.

Examination For Marriage.
Times-D Democrat.

before it and will probably pass a
bill of the most radical nature,
and which will bring on its head
a great deal of denuncistion, but
one which has the support of all
leading physicians in the State
and a very large portion of the
community. This is bill requir-
ing the same conditions to be OBJ
served in the case of marriage as
in the case of life insurance-exa-
mination to determine whether the
applicant is in good or bad health.
An insurance company is unwill-
ing to take q bad risk, should a
wife or husband do 80, and marry
a person in the last stage of oon-
sumption or on the eve of paraly-
sis and general breakdown?
The provisions of the Colorado
bill are very simple-an examin-
ing board of physicians is to be
created in each county, and before
this board all applicants for mar
riage licenses must go and stand
an examination before getting
their license, in exactly the same
way as they stand an examination
for life insurance. A man who
cannot get his life insured cannot
be married.
The reason given for this law in
Colorado is the rapid increase Of
consumption in that State. Colo
RADIO is supposed to be free from
consumption. The climate is es-
pecislly good for persons of weak
lungs, and thousands of consump-
tives 60 there for that reason.
Many of them are charmed with
the country, remain there and in
termarry with the natives. The
result is that q State known
throughout the Union as a santa
rum for consumptives is coming
to be one of the worst consump-
tive-ridden sections. The same is
true of Southern California, where
tuberculosis has become very COM
mon because of the influx of invs-
lids with that disease who 60 there
because of the mild climate of the
Pacific coast.
There can be no doubt that a
law of the kind proposed in Colo
RADIO would be productive of good
results, would get rid of many dis
eases, and would render the Amer
ican people the healthiest and
most vigorous in the world; but it
is to be feared that it is slightly
in advance of the time, and that
the average person will object to
be prohibited marriage because be
has only one lung or is semi-para-
lyzed. A young State like Colo
RADIO, however, where very radical
Legislation is indulged in, may moi
be afraid of trying the experiment
of prohibiting persons with seri'
ous or fatal diseases from marry
ing and perpetuating their dises
ses in their children.
