socialism NO CURE
w. r.. STOKES THINKS DIVISION Of
LAND WILL REMEDY EXISTING
SOCIAL CONDITIONS
SWITCH TO SAFER SUBJECT
From Discussion of Weighty Eco
monte Problems, Arguments De-
generate to Cost of
;-t Raising Wheat.

ST do not believe in socialism. and I
won't nave socialism SO long as [ can
do anything to prevent it," said w. r.
Stokes in an address before the ST. Paul
Socialistic club in Pfeifer's hall yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Stokes had been
delivering an exposition of a theory of
his own which he considered to be far
superior to that of the socialists, and had
SO warmed UP to his subject as to cause
him TO make the above emphatic declara-
ton before those whose purpose it is to
study and to teach the essential prin-
ciples of socialism.
Mr.. Stokes said that he thought the
present unsatisfactory state of affairs
was the result Of Ignoring the natural
law of wealth and human support He
said that the law to which he referred
is that every man is entitled to enough
free land to supply him with the neces-
sites of life, and that no man IS Tor any
reason entitled to the use of more land
than is necessary to keep him. This law
he says, is being completely ignored, and
many have no land while others have
more than they need This should be
changed, and when such is done there
will be great change IN the social con-
dftions of the land.
Mr.. Stokes undertook to tell the clup
the proper way TO remedy the existing
conditions. He said that all those who
have more land than is their proper
tionate share should be Invested of that
which they have in excess and this part
become public land, subject to home
steading. This he thought would rem
edy the state of affairs now in existence
and would give every man a chance TO
become a land owner
His remarks did not seem to strike
a popular chord in the audience nearly
all deyotees of socialism, and they were
constantly interrupting the speaker with
expressions that were not all encour-
aging to him. No sooner had he closed
his address than a dozen questions were
given him by as many men, asking him
for a more thorough explanation of his
position and of what he expected to ac-
complish by his theory. The result of the
questions and answers was to cause
general discussion of the question of So
cialism and what is claimed for it.
1t looked for a few minutes as though
some difficulties would arise from the
general discussion of the socialistic ques-
lions, and such would probably have
been the result had not the disputants
drifted off into a discussion of what it
costs per bushel to produce wheat Here
they found a question upon which each
one could express an idea, and the great
question that had been occupying their
minds throughout the afternoon was for
gotten in a vain effort to agree upon the
cost of producing the cereal. Some
thought it costs forty cents to raise
bushel of wheat, while others maintained
that it can be produced for three and one
half cents. After a long discussion of
this question the club adjourned

SITUATION

Names Now Being Talked Over and Soon the States Will Be Ready For Smashng--SOme Candidates For
 Position of School Director Mentioned

didacy has ben urged by number oi business men. Godfrey Chealandcr has been considered by some of tEe slate makers. and it is quite likely he will be one of the nominees.
 It is a strange condition in politics when nomination is forced upon a man. but this very thing is apt Co C. cur in Skagway. Since the mention oi Luke McGrath's name in connection with councilmanic honors in the Alas kan some days ago. it has been favor ably received in the north end and the business section. Indeed no adverse comment has been heard Al the Mon day night meeting it was intimated Mir. McGrath would not be a candidate. He is an employee of the railroad and. it is said. expects to have to go to White Horse to remain some time in connection with his duties This he considers an impeachment to service in the council. for he feels that if elected hc should be here to perform his of- fcia ldutics. He does not see how he could do them and be away He should look up the records of certain coun cilmcn who reside at Dyea. However. the politicians are not inclined to ac. cept this refusal of Mr. McGrath and, unless he pcrcmptorily refuses his name will surely go on the ticket.
 The school board nominees have not ben overlooked m the calculations. Some feel that at least one of the pres cnt board ought to be reelected to initiate the new members. The friends of Cortcs Ford. one oi the present board. have urged him to consent to be a candidate. He will. no doubt. be one of the nominees Judge Wilcox cn. president of the board, is making no effort for reelection but it is un. dcrstood. will accept ii his friends SO desire. For new members Frank F.. Burns is considered by all elements. Master mechanic Van Clevc, of the car-Shops. has a great many friends who would like to see him on the board. He |, said to be a man of fine executive ability and peculiarly quail flied for the place.

Recital of Mir. Dunham's
 Verse a Pleasant Affair
Graphic Scenes of the Rearing of tho Magical City of Nomo The
 Poems Wero All Woli Received
 Tho Lamont of tho sourdough"

The reading of Alaska poems by Sam C. Durham at the Arctic Bro thcrhood hall last night was fairly well attended and those there enjoyed a pleasant and profitable time. Miss Clara Agnes Dunbar rccited a piece very cleverly and one of the Schnei- der sisters played a piano solo.
 Mir. Dunham spoke from manu- script. His style was easy, and gene, rally he delivered in a conversational tone. but at times in describing some pathetic scene or in taking a keen thrust at a negligent government he grew really eloquent.
 The reading of each poem was pre- cedcd by a short description Of the scenes and incidcns which inspired the poetic composition all historically beautiful.
 The Tribute to a Yukon Pioneer " composed for the burial of the presi- dent of that order and who was friend of Mr. Dunham's. was very im- pressive. while the Lament oi the old Sourdough" played upon entirely dif- ierent chords of the human heart. Both were well received. as were all of the others.
 In describing the beach at Nome in 1890. Mir. Durham said:
 No thoughtful man who walked along that golden street in the bright sunlight of those October days will ever forget the living picture present ed there. To the eastward Cape Nome stood like a sentinel at the edge of the sea.
