SOCIALISM THE REMEDY.
Nothing Else Will Curb the Power OF Mo-
nopolies Based Upon the Earth's
Private Owership.

The Standard Oil company, which
is the greatest of all the trusts, be-
cause it has greater monopoly than
any other, is declaring dividends this
year at the rate of As per cent. on it's
$10O,O0O,O0O of common stock. The
statement is enough to set one
thinking. If a successful trust can
make money at this rate what limit
can be put to its power of extension
and extortion ?-Philadephia Ledger.
There is no limit to sits power Of
extension and extOrtion." Under pres
ent conditions it's power for evil will
grow greater and greater rs the years
go by. There is no remedy except in
long to all the people instead of pri-
vate syndicate. The politicians declare
against trusts and then carefully avoid
the only remedy for the trust evil.
A genuine politician never looks be-
yond the next election. Instead Of
trying to discover n cure he labors 20
hide the disease. The trusts are not
all bad-they are teaching the people
the benefit of co-operation-from
duction and distribution of commod-
tiles. They represent the transition
state from the crude conditions Of
the past to the glorious enlighten-
ment of the future. The greed of the
trusts is forcing us to learn the great
lessons of human brotherhood the
faster. Their grasping methods are
teaching us ''our plain duty" When
the pople see that trusts continue to
grow in spite of unfriendly legisla-
ton they will cease to try to destroy
them and will develop them to greater
size and greater usefulness. As the
big trusts now swallow the little
ones. then the peoples universal
trust will swallow all the rest of the
brood. As the needle points to the
pole, just SO surely do the expanding
trusts point to the public ownership
of all ies.-Nonconformist.

ANOTHER BRYAN CONVERT.
Dr.. Henry Wade Rogers Tells why
Gold Democrats Will Desert
Mckinley.

DIR. Henry Wade Rogers, former
president of Northwestern university
and recently called by the faculty Of
Yale, says he will vote for Bryan and
Stevenson.
In 1896 he voted for Mckinley and
Hobart. He declares also that he be-
ieves the gold democrats of the coun-
try as a body will support Bryan this
year because they believe imperialism
is the most dangerous policy the re-
public could adopt, and that the party
that is responsible for such a policy
should be defeated.
DR.. Rogers says that the silver
plank in the democratic platform will
no more drive them from supporting
Bryan than the protective plank in
the republican platform kept them
from voting for Mckinley four years
ago, when silver was the paramount
issue.
In statement to the Chicago
American approving the Endorsement
of Bryan by the anti-imperialist con-
vention at Indianapolis, Dr. Rogers
SAYS:
1.-THE gold democrats as rule are anti
imperialists. They declined to support Mr.
Bryan four years ago because they looked
upon the currency question as the para
mount issue of the campaign. The major
ity of them voted for Mckinley as the
surest way to defeat Bryan. These men are
as strong in their conviction to-day as they

We read the other day a letter in
The Outlook from a correspondent in
the Philippines bearing strong testi-
mony to the profound and universal
hatred of Americans by the Filipinos.
He assures us that ''every Filipino il
at heart an insurrecto." He is quite
confident that the state of things is
due to too much "clemency" on tho
part of the United States. The uncQn-
scious satire of this is furnished in the
estimate that we have killed over co.
900 Filipinos since the war broke out
and reported the killing of 600 the
very week the correspondent wrote.
We speak not in the interest of any
party or any phase of politics, but in
the name of our religion and of human
brotherhood when we say that this
is q sad and shameful chapter in the
history of a great Christian people

ence and dependence, between polit-
ical freedom and vassalage, between
self-government and rule by ''sov-
ereign" power. Is there practically
no difference" between the state of
Switzerland and that of Egypt-be-
tween the status of Porto Rico and
that of New Mexico?
So much for the attitude of the two
parties and candidates toward the
rights of the case. The difference is
equally wide and vital in regard to
our future policy. Treating the Phil
ippines as "ours''-our authority as
supreme" our sovereignty" as COM
plete and finaHMr. Mckinley pro-
poses to establish a just and gener-
Gus government, in which the inhab-
itants shall have the largest partici-
patton of which they are capable
we being the Judges of their capa-
bility!
This is always and everywhere the
promise of Imperialism to subjuga ted
peoples. 1t is what Mr.. Chamberlain
proposes for the Beers. AS Mr.. Bryan
pertinently asks: did not the Eng
lish government Tin 1776) promise a
good government to the colonists?
What king ever promised bad gov
eminent to his people?''
The democratic policy is based upon
a recognition of the freedom and in
dependence of the Philippines. The
republican policy contemplates the
subjugation. retention and permanent
government of the islands by force.
Is not this difference vital? Does it
not truly measure the difference be-
tween Imperialism. 'the spirit of en-
pre-" and democracy. the essence of
freedom?-N. Y. World.

trial managers are learning that COM
petition is the great leveler, and that
the law of supply and demand, if left

much easier to get ten men with the
training and executive ability to run
one factory than it is to get one man
who can run ten factories combined -
is the way one of the trust managers
puts it. Although the tendency to
classification seems to have had it's
day. But this does not apply to trusts
with a control of special privilege;
they can thrive when the rest of the
world goes hungry. A
That the administration will be
compelled to fight one of the gigantic
special-privilege trusts is indicated in
the rejection by Secretary Long of
bids for the manufacture of armOr
plate for the ships of the navy. The
only two establishments in the coun-
try capable of supplying the armor
plate in quantity, quality and within
the time desired have sent in their
uniform bids, each offering to take
exactly one-haf the amount asked
for, thereby showing that they had
entered into collision with one anoth-
err. These are the Carnegie and Beth
lehem companies. One competitive
bid was offered, but the bidder could
deliver no armor plate within &c
months. Secretary Long has asked
for new bids, but it is believed moth
ing will come from it, and there is
thought to be fair prospect that the
$4,OOO,O00 appropriated by congress
for the purpose of erecting an armor
plate plant for the government may
be employed for that purpose. What
a slesson in special privilege we should
have if, after such an institution was
built and ready for business. the men
who own the great iron mines should
find way to evads supplying ore to
the government for the making of
armor plate! Private concerns have
been ruined in this country by that
process, and it is within the range
of the possible that government may
suffer in the same way. 1t might not
serve the purpose of the monopolists
thus to advertise their power; that
they have the power is not to be ques-
toned, however-Farmers' Voice.

Memorial Day.

Tomorrow will be Memorial day, a
day which with every year that passes
by seems to grow more hallowed and
of greater significance. The great
struggle which it commentaries is
merely a memory now, and the last liv-
ing witnesses of that fearful wal are
fast marching to the great beyond.
Though that war was n Of thrilling
events, of splendid victories for each
side, there Is not one general holiday
which commentaries any of it's battles
or any of its incidents. Memorial day
is the only reminder that from 1860 un-
til 1865 almost four million men in the
north and in the south answered to the
call of their country, and fought as no
men eve fought before. and that fully
one million laid down their lives or
were crippled. If it were not for the
terrible bloodshed, the untold sadness
and sorrow 1t brought to thousands of
homes, that war would be one of which

The Canteen Question,

The canteen question is raising an
unnecessary discussion and bitterness
on the part of misguided although well
intentioned people. AS has been album
dainty demonstrated, the canteen is a
means toward temperance. 1t Is for
that reason that it is c~Ountenancod by
the government. To hear some people
talk it is the aim of President McKin-
ley and the government to destroy the
army and American young men with
rum. That such a proposition is absurd
is apparent upon first thought. The
young men who constitute the army are
free-born American citizens, who have
reached the age Of discretion when they
are bound to get for themselves what
they desire to have. If they cannot get
their drink at the canteen they will go
to the dives which would spring up
around every army camp if the canteen
were abolished. To abolish the canteen
would mean to replace it with unbri-
died license, to substitute an orderly
reading room, in which intoxication is
not tolerated, with a hell hole in which
body and soul are destroyed. Some re-
formers in their anxiety to reform
would destroy the existence of the per-
son to be reformed.

Stay Away From Cape Nome.

The advices from Cape Nome are any
thing but cheerful for the 10000 foolish
miners who left for that distant and
bleak shore this spring. All the favor
able ground has been located by specu-
lators, and what is called favorable
ground at Cape Nome is passed over in
New Mexico very often as not being
worth bothering with. One of these
spectators has located over 400 claims.
each claim being twenty acres. Many
of these claims are located by power of
attorney, and the newcomer will have a
hard time to find a piece of ground that
isn't located.
The good ground has all been worked
over two or three times, and even good
ground is very spotted. Some of the
pay streaks are only a few feet in
width, and the majority of the old pros
pectors didn't make wages, although
they had first choice of claims. Wood
sells from $35 to $50 a cord, and provi-
sions are correspondingly dear. All of
which goes to show that a mar who
goes to Cape Nome when New Mexico
is open to him is either a very ignorant
or a very foolish person.
