There is something almost sacred
about the old songs, such as ''Auld Lang

Old Arm Chair" and even "Old Grimes
is Dead, That Good Old Man." My
friend Tom Sawyer of Florida, writes
that he still clings to his old clothes;
that he has worn his pants for years
and years and had them halfsoled in
the seat and reinforced at the knees
and rehemmed at the bottom: that he
bought home made pair of socks
twenty seven years ago and is wearing
them still though he has had new feet
knit to them three times and new tops
twice. He says that Gov. Bloxham
dearly loves the old things-old heir

old barrel that has been in the family
ever since Columbus discovered Ameri-

full of brandy, and it has had good

How naturally mankind adapt them
selves to these of their kind, their age,
sex and mental condition. Birds of the
same feather will flock together, and so
these little grandchildren will run away
from me to frolic with other little tots,
and it makes me jealous. Just so the
next set from 10 to IL years clan to-
gethcr. Then come the blushing school
girls from e to Is, who have heightened
out their dresses and ceased to pull up
their garters every few minutes as they
boys, and when they get to be baseball
experts with a college attachment they
talk of their exploits in language that
is heather Chinese to everybody except
themselves and claim to be the elect.
And SO 1t goes on and on until we have
passed our maturity, and we veterans
take our comfort in communion with
veterans and pay our tribute to the good
old times that will never return. We
are the elect.
believe it IL true that nobody but
the old men and women give praise to
the old times and the customs of their
fathers, and so if every generation of
old people believe that the age of their
youth was the best, then the times
must have degenerated awfully since
the days of the prophets. Have they or
have they not gotten better instead or
worse? The answer is they are better
in some respects and worse in others.
Public morals were very loose a hun
dred years ago. Andrew Jackson was
a gambler, horse racer and duellist sew
enty-five years ago. Such man could
not be elected President now. Foreign
missions and Sabbath schools were al
most unknown. The slave trade with
Africa was in full blast with England
and New England rum was the pur-
chase money. Imprisonment for debt
was the law generally and SO was fog
cling in the navy. Whiskey was UNI
known, but brandy and rum We're kept
in almost every respectable household.
Illiteracy prevailed almost all over the
South except among the aristocracy.
There were but few books to read and
fewer newspapers. There We're no rail
roads, or telegraphs or sewing ma
chimes. But the people were generally
honest and religious. There were no
trusts, no strikes, no millionaires, no
suicides or robberies, and a murder was
rare event and done in the heat of
passion. No doubt but that there are
a hundred of these crimes committed
now to one then according to population
Well, then, why arraign the old people
for lamenting that the good old times
have gone? Not long ago heard a
gifted and cultured minister of the
olden time preach most charming and
impressive sermon from the text in
jeremiah which reads, "Stand in the
way and ask for the old paths, which is
the good way, and walk therein, and
We shall find rest for your SOULS" One
of the best tests Of the strength of a
sermon is your remembrance of the
text. When a gifted and scholarly min
lister is done with it and with holy hands
says, LET us pray" what solemnity
fills the place, and the text fingers with
you for years to come. 1t does not
seem like the same scripture. 1.-THE old

Socialism.
Rural Kansan, Seneca.


Any system which is managed by, or is un-
der the control of, the people, for the benefit of
all tine people, like the postal system, the pub
lie school system, the police system and others,
is socialistic. Socialism means government of
the people. by the people, for the people. Men
differ as to how far to- carry the idea There
are many soft sentmentaists who mix their
gushing philanthropy with practical socialism,
much to the discredt of the prestige of social
ism with practical people. Government own
ership of railroads, municipal ownership of
street railways and telephone and lighting sys.
teuls, are all socialistic. So, after all, social
ism narrowed to business systems for convent
ence and protection of the people from private
monopoly, is believed in by most people. The
extent of its application is broadening as the
people see the danger of private monopoly and
the blessing to be derived from transportation
at cost and other conveniences of public own
ership. Socialism is held back by confusion of
its real meaning with acceptance of the teach
ing of free love and the sentimental yearning
of some who also profess to believe in practical
socialism,; also the confusion of the term with
anarchy. Monopolists always combine the two
terms as synonymous. They hang scarecrow
over the word "Socalism' because they do
not want the people to reclaim valuable fran
chises which are used to crowd out competition
and fleece those having products to ship. So
ciaistc systems, when presented one by one,
each on its own merits, will be considered more
readily than now, when student is expected
to swallow all the gush and vagaries of those
who write books on the subject Then the
people will destroy the scarecrow and meet the
,nonopolist at the ballot-box and reclaim their
lost opportunities. But they cannot dc so
while the sham battles are fought over political
platforms which are written to keep the people
on false scent and to divert their minds from
the possibilities of victory over the monopoists.
When the great question can be voted on direct
ly by the peopld, through the initiative, they
will be adopted.

Employees to Run the Road.

ANDERSON, IND, Oct 2o.-For the first time
in the history of American rall1oading, the ex-
pertinent of conducting railroad on the CO.
operative plan is to be tried on the Chicago &
Southeastern road. Eighteen days ago, the
employees Of the road struck for their back paw,
and since then, not wheel has been turned.
The company has been in constant negotiation
with the men ever since, but terms were only
agreed upon to-day. Tie men were perm tilted
to appoint their own treasurer, and he will take
charge of the receipts rntil every cent of back
wages is paid. With this understanding, the
road resumed operations to-day, at noon Traf-
hc along the line has been so congested the
past halfmonth that serious injury has been
done to the manufacturing industries of this
part of the state. The settlement will be of
great benefit. Press dispatch
The advocates of cooperative ownership of
railroads, etc., will watch the outcome of this
experiment with much interest.
