Congress- Had to Listen.


Hon. e. r. Ridgeley, congressman
from Kansas, in a speech on the gold
standard bill, treated the house to the
following:
Socialists are multiplying by hund-
reds Of thousands throughout the nation
This bill will recruit their ranks by
millions. Their power will soon be felt
upon the floor of congress and In every
department Of government. 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 human COM
fort, mental and social development
which of necessity must be used collec-
lively, shall be owned collectively, and
that such property as can best be used
individually shall be owned individually.
Their cry is: public ownership of pub
lie utilities" BY this simple policy they
propose and will forever abolish the
bondage Of capital and make it serve
man, instead of, as now, demand serv-
Ice from man. We are by this very bill
unwittingly fastening and making TIE
establishment of socialism an absolute
certainty. AS one who believes in the
fundamental principles of socialism, I
take a degree Of satisfaction in seeing
this bill enacted into law, knowing that
1t will hasten the overthrow of the pres
ent system of capitalism it is designed
to serve. AS 1t goes down the people
will establish In its place a government
restored to and used by and for the peo-
pie. That government will soon be true
socialism. Under this new order, soon
to be universally established, every toll
er will get more than double pay over
present rates, while all interest and
tribute to capital will be forever abolish
ed. Our government railroads will rem
der batter service at one-fourth present
charges, paying double wages for eight
hours labor. The people everywhere
| will find ready employment in healthy
| well-ventilated factories and mines, each
one receiving full value Of his product
| our women will enjoy happy homes
while free to choose their own occupa-
ton, owning and controlling all they
| produce, while no child will be compell-
ed to work to the sacrifice Of its ed,l-
| cation and health. May God speed the
day when all these happy conditions
| shall be realities. They are all possible
| and already in sight. To the millions OF
over burdened and heavy-hearted people
extend congratulations, not because OF
| this legislation, but in spite of it, for its
burdens will arouse again the slumber-
ing spirit of liberty and the tyranny OF
capitalism will be overthrown, while in
| it's stead industrial and social freedom
| will be established"

Thomas b, Reeds Admission.

Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed would
hardly call himself Socialist, but like
many others of his kind who live large
ly by the sweat of other mems brows,
he, unconsciously to himself, admits the
truthfuiness of the reasoning of those
who represent all that is to be feared in
government. In an article on the SUBJ
ject Of monopolies (of which he should
know considerably in the Saturday
Evening Post of this city, Mr.. Reed
says,
"Where the selfshness of few is en-
trusted with unlimited power and but
tressed up with all the power Of the state
formally enlisted In its behalf, 1t has
never been able to resist successfully
the selfishness Of all. In other words,
the selflshness Of the few Is always met
with and mastered by that greater pow
er, the self1shness of all. The struggle
may be long and may seem doubtful,
but it is never so in the result. All his
tory is full of examples. For hundreds
of years the unprivileged in France
seemed to be struggling hopelessly
against the privileged, and the story was
the most melancholy in the history OF
the world; but the final result was lib
erty and equality. Nowadays there can
be no such prolongation Of the fight"
To those of our comrades who seem
hono1ess Of sealing Socialism established
in our day I commend especially those
last lines: Nowadays there can be nc
such prolongation of the fight" Even
the enemy begin to realize the truth.

Progress.
The time is ripe, rotten-ripe, for .
change.
Then let it come. I have no dread Of
what
Is called for by the instinct of mankind,
Nor thizk I that Gods world will fall
apart
BecaLse we tear a parchment more or

truth is eternal, but her effuence,
With endless change, is fitted to the
hour;
Her mirror is turned forward to reflect
The promise of the future, not the past.
He who would win the name OF truly
great
Must understand his own age and the
next,
And make the present ready to fulfill
It's prophecy, and with the future merge
Gently and peacefully, as wave with
wave,
The future works out great mems pur-
poses;
The present is enough for common
souls,
Who. never looking forward, are indeed
Mere clay, wherein the footprints OF
their age
Are petrifed forever; better those
Who lead the blind old giant by the
hand
From out the painless desert where hs
gropes,
And set him onward in his darksome
way.
I do not fear to follow out the truth,
Albeit along the precipice's edge,
Let us speak plain; there is more force
in names
Than most men dream Of, and a lie may
keep
It's throne whole age longer, II It
skulk
Behind the shield of some fair-seemin8
name.
Let us call tyrants tyrants. and main
tain
That only freedom comes by grace Of
God,
And all that comes not by his grace
must fall;
For men in earnest have no time to
waste
In patching fig leaves for the naked
truth.

REPORT AGAINST CLARK
To Be Made by the Senate Elections
Committee

Washington, April 10.-The Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections
today decided by a unanimous vote to
recommend the adoption Of a resolution
declaring that Hon. W. A. Clark, of Mon.
tana, is not entitled to occupy his seat as
a Senator from Montana.
This decision followed a two hours
session, at which the members spoke at
length on the question. Senator Har-
ris, of Kansas, said that whatever Mr..
Ciark's offences, they were but little
worse than the methods pursued by Con-
gresham Campbell and ex-State Senator
Whiteside in their efforts to expose the
Senator, and he insisted that if the report
was to be antagonstic 10 Mr.. Clark, it
should at the same time relate in full de-
tail the course pursued by the two princi-
pie witnesses against him.
Senator Pettus practically agreed with
Mr.. Harris. The consensus of opinion of
the committee was that the cumulative
character of the testimony should be con-
sidered rather than any one especial
feature.
Senators Chandler and Turley were d.
rected to prepare the report. 1t is to be
presented at an early day.
There were many expressions in the
Committee favorable to Senator Clark
from personal point of view, and more
than one Senator gave utterance to doubts
as to whether he had actual personal part
or knowledge of the expenditure. Others
expressed the opinion that the Senator
was in a certain sense the victim of enyir-
onment and habit. The outlay of money
in past elections in Montana was dwelt
upon as one of the explanations of the
liberal expenditures in this case.
Senator Turley was among the Senators
who vigorously dissented from the view
that Mr.. Clark could have been unin.
formed of the use of money to promote
his election.
Senator Clark was at the Capitol when
the announcement of the action OF the
committee became known. He was sur
prised at the result, but refused to make
statement until after consultation with
his friends and attorneys. Be bore him
self with his usual composure.
