merchants club and thus get ahead OF
their white brothers who have been
talking about such an institution for
many months past. They laid all their
plans and decided on the third and last
floor of the building at the junction OF
Beretania and King streets as their
club quarters. This building they were

great railroads.
Enormously rich men, eager for money and
power, have taken suddenly to sinking their
ieaousies and uniting their properties.
You read that the Missouri Pacific has bought
one railroad; that the Union Pacific has bought
St. Paul
But all of this does not mean that the great
railroad kings have ceased to be greedy or jeal-
Gus. Their sudden harmony is based on this
fact:
The law forbds different railroad companies
to conspre with each other to raise rates and
swnde the public.
The big railroad owners don't want to go to
iail-they enjoy life too much for that.
They do want all the money they can get,
and they want especially TO make the farmer
pay more for his freight.
They unite theirvarous railroads i'll one man
agement in order to evade the law,
And they admit the TACT
| If two or three competing railroads are merged
! in one company, they can, OF course, regulate
rates to suit themselves and over charge, If
they please, without violating the law.
The present effect of these railroad consolida-
tons is bad for The country In the first place,
honest stockholders are gouged out OF their
holdings and compelled to receive inferior Sc
curites.
In the second place, rates are put up-the
farmers suffer.
| But the object lesson is worth the price.
When the railroads are combined, there can
be no more nonsenSical talk about the necessity
of competition.
1t will then be clear, even to the simplest
mind, that the proper course is for the govern
ment to own the railroads and work the COM
binaton for the benefit of the people, and not
for the raising of rates and evasion of law.

THIS is SOCIALISTIC.
A Girls Cooperative Garment Factory.

Some time ago, the girls who worked in
Swoford Bros. garment factory at Kansas City
struck, for sufficient reason. The girls finally
decided to start cooperative factory, and pur
chased dozen machines, and their first order
was for suits for the Laborday parade. They

The Kansas City Star says of this new factory:
"Unusual interest attaches to the
plan for the that it is the first co-operat
i've factory started III Kansas City. The girls
were thrown out of employment by wholesale
dry goods house, and hit upon this way of get
ting employment, and, at the Same time in-
creasing their wages. To guard against hav-
ing the factory controlled by few large
stockholders, every person interested in the
concern is allowed only one vote no matter
how much stock he may have. Profits are to
be divided at the end of the year.
"The girls of the factory are very much en-
couraged by the offer of large firm, which
has agreed to take large part of the output,
and to handle goods of this kind except
those made by the cooperative factory. Further
orders, both local and out-of-town, seem to as
sure the success of the venture

THOSE NASTY, SWEATY LABORING MEN.

According to the Chicago Record Herald, the
Chicago Northwestern railroad has been COM
PEELED to put on a special train to accommodate

their work. No, not to accommodate the work.

have such delicate olfactory Cor oil-factory)
nerves that they "iust can't bear to smell those
nawsty, sweaty laboriug people, dontcher
know" These fne-haired fools, who are too
nice to sweat, and have probably made their
money out of hog-fat, cow.hides, hoofs and
horns and stock-yards offal, raised such howl
that the railroad company was forced to shut
tie laboring men out of the popular suburban
train and give them train of their own.
Gosh Aren't we arstocrats getting things

The Book says that, by the sweat our brow
shall we eat bread; but, then, those old duHers
who wrote the Book are out of date, and the

In the days of cannibalsnl, the strong de-
voured the weak-actually ate their flesh. In
spite OF all laws that man has made, in spite Of
all advances in sciences, the heartless still live
Gu the weak, the unfortunate and the foolish.
True they do not eat their flesh or drink their
blood, but they live on their labor their self
denial, their weakness and want. The man
who deforms himself by toll, who labors for his
wife and children through all his anxious, bar
rem, blasted life-goes to the grave without one
luxury-has been the food of others. He has
been devoured by his fellow men. The POOR
woman who lives in the bare and lonely room,
cherries and 6reless, sewing night and day to
keep starvation from a child, is slowly being
eaten by her fellow men. When l take into
consideration the agonv of civilized life, the
failures, the anxietes, the withered hopes, the
bitter realities, the hunger, the shame, am
almost forced to believe that cannibalism, after
all, is the most merciful form in which man
lives upon his fellow man.-R. G, Ingersoli.

WE ARE REAPING WHAT WE SOWED.

Scarcely day passes that does not bring all
account of the lynching OF Negro for ASSAULT
inc white woman. Sometimes, daily paper
will contain two or more such accounts.
No one will deny that such action on the part
of Nepro-or a white man, either-merits
the seyerest punishment. But the Negro IS not
wholly to blame. The darker races have more
Of the base passion in their nature, probably
than the lighter races, and their natural passion
was increased by the shareholders of the South
many of whom selected their best-developed
slave women for breeding purposes, just as the
careful farmer aud stock-raiser to-day selects
the best of his stock for the same purpose; and
mauy of the more passionate shareholders, or
their white oyerseers, became the fathers OF
their own young slaves.
This deplorable passion is inbred in many
Southern Negroes, and some further north, and
thew are no more to blame than the class OF
whites we have mentioned.
We have no wish to palliate or condone the
crimes of these passionate Negroes. We SIM
DIV call attention to the fact that they are not
wholly to blame, and that we (the white race)
are reaping what we sowed.

WELL, WHAT OF 1T?

Tuesdays Topeka Capital contains the fol-
lowing item:
"The KANSAS AGITAToR, in its Task weeks
issue, spoke OF the wreck on the Chicago &
Alton, which happened in Illinois last week,
and pravely informed its readers that there will
be no more such wrecks after the railroads pass
into the hands of Uncle Sam. An odd thing
in this connection is that the preceding para
graph tells of the explosion of the shell at Fort
Riley, on Uncle Sans reservation, and which
resulted in killing three of his men and severely
woundng several Others
There you have it! Argument most pro-
found! We're completely knocked out-no
doubt of it, But, then, we're glad you men,
toned it.
Is it unreasonable to suppose that if the rail-
roads were in the hands of the people, every
means possible would be made to preserve the
lives of the people? Certainly not. If the peo-
pie owned the roads, there would be no incent-
i've to resort to every possible means to "save
money" to increase the income of stockholders,
but the roads would be run for the sole benefit
of the public. Every means would be resorted
to that would tend to protect the travelling pub
~,
the means that would be adopted would be the
increase of the number of tracks, as we stated
last week. Anybody knows that would decrease
the liability of wrecks. AS was shown, the
Alton wreck was really caused by over-working
the train crew, the men having been on duty
continuously for thirty-six hours. If the peo-
pie owned the roads, they would not run them
for the money they could make, but, as we said
before, for the benefit of the people. Then
there would be no good reason to keep the num-
Der of employees down 10 the lowest notch, but
enough men would be employed to operate the
trains safely and to the best interests OF the
people We do not claim that, under govern
ment ownership, there would be no accidents
or wrecks, but they would be very rare.
Now as to the accident al Fort Riley: No
doubt, the same thing would have happened
anywhere rnder like conditions, but, when we
shall have brought about cooperative COM
monweath-the real and only true govern
ment of the people, by the people and for the
people"-we will have no such accidents as the
one at Fort Riley, for we will need no standing
army, and we'll not be burning up thousands
of dollars worth of powder each day for nothing.
No ''target practice will be necessary.
Socialists-or those who believe in co-ope-
rative government-have no use for war;
The fellow who wrote the above item for the
Capital will probably smile to himself and say
those Socialistic ideas sound nice enough, but
they are impracticable. But it's coming, faster
than he thinks Socialism is growing.

THE government pays $500 day bonus
above the usual extortionate charge for fast
mail from New York to New Orleans, which is
attached to the passenger train. This sum Will
nav three times the entire cost of running and
keeping up the entire train. But the railroad
managers know what politics means, while the
Jaspers, who do the voting and paying, do not.
This is bonus mind you, of $75 mile each
way for one mail car year. The government
thus pays an interest, per cent, on nearly
SIC, 600, 900 for hauling the mail 1914 miles,
which is enough to build the railroad between
the two cities. The government pays more for
pulling the mail cars OH all roads than the en-.
tire cost of the passenger trains on which II is
hauled. In other words, if the public owned
the railroads and operated them on the same
tariff in other things, it could haul passengers
aud express free of charge on all mail trains,
and not be loser more than it is now. But the
people do not pay any attention to public affairs.
They elect congressman who 60 to Washington

BERLIN, Dec 2.-The new Tariff bill was
introduced into the Reichstag by Chancellor
Won Buiow to-day In a brief speech. He
held that II carried into law II would be OF
equal advantage to manufacturing industry
and TO agriculture. He asked the House
when debating the measure to remember
that the eyes and ears Of foreign countries
were giving closest attention to the proceed
ings.
The Chancellor denied that the new tariff
indicated departure from the policy which
led 70 the existing treaties He said 1t
would provide the Government with n better
weapon when negotiating new treaties.
Chancellor Won B1low's speech was a
great disappointment to the public as well
as the members OF the Reichstag, II being
q simple paraphrase OF the generalitiee
that have been current for the last few
months. II is now clear that the Govern
ment means 10 leave the entire RESPONSE
bility for the measure with the Reichstag,
the speeches OF whose members. and par
ticularly that Of the first speaker OF the
Centre party. are awaited with great in
terest.
Chancellor Won Buelow's speech. though
lucid and well-delivered. was rather color
less. 1t contained practically nothing new, f,
being mainly a recapitulation OF his own
many utterances on the subject. The
result Of the debate was quite as impossible
to foreeee after the speech as before.
The situation Is full OF. difficulties. The
balance Of outside opinion to-day lie that
the bill will never pass. The opposition Is
certainly extremely strong and well-or-
ganized.
The Social Democrats and others who
compose IL are reserving their hostile tactics
until the bill lie committed, which will prob
ably be a week hence. Their present In

amendments to every schedule and to
inAst upon a division on each. They may
thus prolong the debate until 1908. A

Democrats against an increase In the corn
