BICYCLE THIEF.
The Theft Was Witnessed By a
Well Known Citizen Who
Chased After Him.

A bicycle was stolen Tuesday night
from the residence Of Mrs. F. o. Myers
at 1928 North Cleveland s'snue. The
thief who made away with the machine
was seen by Mr.. Charles r. Frazer
and his wife who were passing along
Woodland avenue. Mr.. Frazer gave
chase but did not succeed in appre-
hending the fellow. 1t appears that
early during the evening Mr.. Frazer
witnessed colored man walking slow
ly up and down the street, and he sus-
picioned that he was looking for some-
thing. While returning from a visit.
Mr.. Frazer passed through an alley at
the Woodland avenue school house when
he saw the man coming down the street
on bicycle. He called to him to stop.
but the thief dashed with his machine
across the lawn of the school house,
Mr.. Frazer following, calling to him to
halt. This only urged the fellow to still
greater speed and he peddalled over to
Cleveland avenue and down that thor
oughfare. apparently as fast as he could
work the machine. He was seen by
other parties also during the evening.
An excellent description Of the man
was furnished the police, and they ap-
pear to have slight clue to his iden-
tity

SELF INTEREST
Moves Men to Act and Is The
Controlling Motive Of
Mankind.

Is there anything in the economy of
natural law aside from religion) as So
cial and moral evolution? think there
Is, and a few Ideas on that line might
be Of interest. We find in the economy
of nature that self-interest Is the mo-
tive power that moves men to act, and
with men, society, and moral ideas
then follow, either up or down. Men
may agitate from motives of higher
morality, but they act only from mo-
tives Of self-interest. Morality Is de-
fined by the dominant or ruling classes
to suit their interests, while the sub
jected classes are led to accept them,
by the egoism that is artificially engen-
dered in their minds, through moral
suasion and deceptinon. And we find
the moral ideas of society always in line
with the economic conditions or basis
on which society rests for the time be-
rested on canibalism, and when one
tribe conquered another, they roasted
their captives and ate them, as the more
economic way Of disposing Of them. But
in time they took to tilling the soil for
subsistence, then with the crude tools
they had they found it more economic
to keep their captives and make slaves
the economic basis of society. There
then was an evolution of social progress
and moral ideas. as 1t was then con-
sidered morally wrong to kill and eat
men, chattel slavery then continued the
basis until capitalism became the eco
nomic basis of society. Then 1t was
found to be more economic not to own
slaves, as that carried with 1t the ne
cessity of caring for the aged and in
firm, and as the introduction of ma
chinery and the owning of the land and
the means of production, necessarily
carried with it the owning Of the pro-
ducers. Then 1t was found that wage
slavery was more profitable to the cap
italist classes than chattel slavery. So
the capitalists of the north in this coun-
try sold their slaves to the south and
settled on wage slavery, and the people
of the south would no doubt have done
the same thing had not the war abol-
ished slavery before they got that far,
Capitalism and wage slavery then be-
came the economic basis of society, and
here was another evolution of social pro-
gress and moral ideas, as 1t was then
found to be morally wrong to hold prop
erty in man, while 1t was still morally
right to hold property in that upon
which life depends. AS capitalism now
reigns supreme, the morality we have
today Is capitalist morality, where. as
Bryan says. petit larceny is punished by
laws. while grand larceny goes free. II

WHAT MIR. NORRIS SAID.
youngstown Vindicator.)

Ber e. Williamson, editor of the Can
ton News-D Democrat, was in the city on
Sunday. While here he called on ]. H.
Morris and had a talk with him on the
congressional situation. Mr.. Morris in
formed the Stark county man that he
was not candidate for the nomination
in the sense of working for it He told
Mr.. Williamson that II nominated
without any opposition, he might con-
slider the matter, but he had not solic-
tied the nomination In any way, nor
would he do so. 1t is likely the name
of Mr.. Morris will be the only one con-
sidered at the coming convention, and
he will without doubt be nominated
without opposition. In case this Is done,
1t Is not probable that the popular DEM
ocrat will refuse to stand for the honor.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-06-01

and as much more as the position VIII
allow him to steal.
The Rev. Charles II. Veil says:"It Is
one of the fundamental doctrines of So
cialist philosophy that all social ad-
vances are secured through struggle
of classes. In every age there is dom
inant ruling class, and this class,
through it's mastery, Is able to deter
mine the social laws, rules and customs.
At first the interests of this class are
in accord with the advance OF society,
but the time comes when their interests,
and consequently customs and inst-
tutions, conflict with social progress.
The economical development which
produces this contrast also produces
class whose interests are contrary to the
ruling class. and more in accord with
social development. A conflict Is sure
to ensue between these two classes, and
the class more in accord with changed
conditions is bound to triumph. In this
contest for mastery both classes are
actuated by self-interest."
And there Is now a conflict on between
the prolateriat classes and the capitalist
classes, which will undoubtedly end in
cooperative industry, as other classes
will take sides on which their interests
rest. need not say which side that Is,
as people will learn that as they run
along. So let trusts spread 1t on, and
the thicker they spread the sooner they
will be done spreading. Men are some,
times wont to raise conflict between
SOCIALISM,, single tax and religion,s while
there Is no santagonism between them,
only as it is put there by ignorance or
prejudice. Each has its part to play in
economySof natural laws. The function
of socialism is to establish and main
tain an equitable economic basis for So
cietys government to rest on. The
function of single tax is to establish and
maintain an equitable system of taxa
tion, and whether the laws be canibal-
ism, capitalism, or cooperative in
| dustry, society wants single tax, be-
cause the government cannot do eve
rything. The government cannot de-
| stroy mans individuality, and mans
individuality will cause him to seek the
more desirable locations in which to
live, and as the government cannot give
everybody the more desirable locations,
all locations should be made equally
| desirable by taxing them all to their
full rental value. Wheile the function OF
religion is to save souls-so there can be
no antagonism in this trinity.

gress Of powers in derogation of the
rights of localities and of individuals,
as well as in derogation of the constitu-
tion."
At another time, in response to a
letter of invitation from the Jefferson
club, of New Haven, Mr.. Tilden said Of
Thomas Jefferson:
After the organization of the
federal government a powerful class
sought to impress upon it in it's prac-
teal workings the features of the Brit
ish system. Mr.. Jefferson was the great
leader of the party formed to resist
these efforts, and to hold our institu-
tions to the popular character which
was understood to belong to them when
the Constitution was ratified by the
people.
BY his infiexible adherence to free
principles, by his ntiring efforts, and
by the magic of his pen, he was the
principles. by his untiring efforts, and
greatest peril, and while in it's infancy
government by the people, for the peo-
Pile.
In response to another invitation to
speak Mr. Tilden said concerning Cor
rupt Practices"
In most countries the govern
ment maintains itself by force or fraud
This is hard saying; but re-
| cent publications of the papers of hei
| [England's] deceased statesmen leave
no doubt upon the subject.

A GOOD PROSPECT.
Anton Windsor Exhibits Specimen Ore from
His Mine Near Santa Fe.

Contractor Anton Windsor drove up
to Monument Rock yesterday, thence
walked over on the divide four miles to
look at the gold-copper claims which
he and Warren Reynolds and Cyrus
Smith are opening there. He brought
home some 20 pounds of the ore, which
he has placed on exhibition in a plaza
show window, and which speaks for it.
self with anybody hat knows anything
about mineral. Mr.. Windsor says that
he and his associates are more o
aged with every stroke of the pick. and
development work is to be pushed
steadily on these claims, five in num-
Der. Ten surface cuts have been made
and good ore is exposed in all of them.
In all probably rs feet of work has thus
far beer done. There are severa. dis
tinct veins of ore running through the
claims. At one point a well-mineralized
lead 20 feet thick has been crOss-cut.
The best ore, however, comes from a A.
foot vein of compact, solid mineral.
After some further work to better open
the ore bodies, a ton of ore is to be ia
ken out and sent to a Pueblo smelter
for mill-run purposes.
