PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

Readers of this issue should not fail
to thoroughly digest the article under
caption Public Ownership" on our 4th
page. The article discusses and ably ex-
plains some of the strong points made
against socialism by Populists. Mr..
Mills claims to be socialist but his
ideas as here expressed are plainly not
in harmony with a class of radical
cranks who have also claimed to be So
cialists and who unreasonably demand
public ownership of everything in sight.
MI. Mills is one of the san e, rational,
logical Socialists and when enough of
his class join the Socialist party to side
track the cranks in the ranks of Social
ism the cause of Socialism will begin to
make progress. A reform never makes
much progress in the hands of its orig
inators. Slavery was not abolished in
this country by John Brown. The real
work of abolishing slavery fell to a
class of men following the movement
who were better balanced, more conserv-
alive, less cranky and better judges of
human nature.
Wage slavery will be abolished in the
same way. A few eccentrics of the De
Leon type will startle the masses by
their fanatical antics and sayings. They
will discredit the true cause of Socialism
by leading the masses into the belief
that Socialism is identified with the ten
cts of Czolgosz. Their utterances
strike the average citizen as about on a
par with the most fanatical Anarchist.
Socialism must suffer from the antics of
these cranks. The people will be
aroused to thought and investigation.
Reason will prevail. The more level
heads like Mr.. Mills will come to the
front. A Lincoln will appear and the
country will be emancipated from it's
present industrial slavery under the
sway of private ownership of monopo-
lies.
Socialist cranks are retarding the
good work, but men like Mr.. Mills, Eu-
gene Debs, J. A. Wayland and others of
their class are gaining in influence with
the rank and file. The cranks will grad
TALLY sink out of sight, the cause will
take on greater responsibility and the
competition, private monopoly system
will be overturned.
When these reforms come they may
be called Socialism, but it will not be the
Socialism of foreign importation. It
will be an American product It will
have American characteristics. It will
draw an American vote that means Sue
cess at the American ballot box. It will
mean direct legislation and the public
ownership of monopoly and all this was
advocated in the Omaha platform.

THE COLLECTION AGENCY

Many of our subscribers who are in
arrears on subscription account are get
ting an urgent call from collection
agency to settle their account. Some OF
these subscribers are writing direct to us
asking whether these agents have au-
thority to collect.
OF course the agency has authority to
collect. We alone could furnish the
agents with the correct statement of a
subscribers account. We have been the
publishers of the Representative since
the death of the late Ignatius Donnelly
We have furnished the paper to sub
scribers who had paid Mr.. Donnellv in
advance to the amount of over $780,
We have kept the paper alive. We have
paid all the current expenses. We have
asked these delinquent subscribers to
pay US our dues. We have spent time
and postage sending bills to these people.
We need money. Our subscription list
shows enough outstanding to run the
paper four years.
We have authorized the collection
agency to get it for us. We ask our
subscribers as an act of fairness to paw
up. Pay direct to us or pay the agency.
You get receipt in either case and full
credit on our mailing list. We are pub
fishing good paper, our subscribers are
all saying so. No one else has any claim
to the papers dues and no one to our
knowledge is now making any claim
1t would be strange proposition if the
man who publishes paper did not have
a right to. collect its accounts. Pay the
agents or pay us direct and we'll doing
will bring an easy conscience.

TOUCHING APPEAL.

The following poetical appeal
won for the author the prize OF
$1,000 offered for the best appeal
poem to newspaper subscribers
to pay their dues.

The best way in which to send your
subscription money is by postofhce
money order or by registered letter.
One or the other can be obtained at
every postoffice in the United States.
Express money orders are also cheap
and convenient from the larger places.
Bank bills sent in ordinary letters, while
commonly safe enough, are occasional
ly lost; hence, subscribers so sending
must remember that they do so at their
own risk.
In changing the address to which a
paper is to be mailed, it is absolutely
necessary that the subscriber should
give his old as we'll as the new ad-
dress. Otherwise the change cannot be
made.
The receipt of subscription money is
always acknowledged by the change OF
expiration on the address label. No
other receipt is necessary. If this
change of date is not made within two
weeks from the time the money was
sent, inquiry should then be made by
the subscriber.
STOPPING THE PAPER-The
publisher must be notified in writing
when the subscriber wishes the paper
stopped. Returning paper or refusing
to take it from your postmaster will
not answer.
The law is that every newspaper sub
scriber is held responsible until all ar
rearages are paid, and then the paper
may be ordered discontinued
In order to reduce complaints to the
minimum in future, we desire to ask the
following questions:
Does your paper come regularly?
Is your name correctly spelled on our
melting list?
Are you getting more than one copy?
Does the date on the label of your
paper this week agree with your last
receipt?
If not, notify us and we will rectify
matters.

DON'T MENTION IT.

Some of our advertisers are report
ing good results from their ads and sew
eral have complained that they get many
letters of inquiry from which they are
unable to determine whether the writer
saw their ad in the Representative or in
some old party paper. In writing to ad-
vertisers do not fail to state that you
saw their ad in the Representative. It
is unfair to us where you don't men,

 He Is a man of affairs rather than q scholar, although his scholarly attain ments are in keeping with the presiden- tial office which he is resigning to make New York.

The President and Germany.

Philadelphia Record.
 President Roosevelt's ability to speak German Is regarded in Berlin as a happy omen for the maintenance of the friendly relations existing between the two coiin- tries. The fact that the Presidents &C., cOmplishment might enable the Kaiser s ambassador to converse with the former familiarly and in his native tongue is not matter of moment however; for the representatives of Germany abroad are not such poor linguists that they can not make themselves understood in the Ian guage of the countries to which they are accredited. President Roosevelts two years residence in Germany as a student, however, may prove to have been of greater consequence. It is impossible for anybody to reside in Germany long enough to become acquainted with the people without learning to esteem them; and, as far as his personal influence may go, President Roosevelt's predisposition to be friendly with the German govern ment and nation may count for some thing.

SOME RAT LORE.
Tricks to Be Used in Catching the
 paRtR

Rats are very susceptible to the odor of certain drugs and any ordinary trap set in their haunts Is likely to be success fui if dressed with these scents. the at- traction of which Iat-catchers affirm they cannot resist. An example Is: Powdered assafoedida, grains: oil of rhodium, drachms; oil of aniseed, 1 drachm; oil of lavender, ,1-2 drachn. Shake together iu a bottle and use very small quantity to dress the bait. To catch rats cover a common barrel with stiff, stout paper, tying the edge round the barrel; place a board so that the rats may have easy ac- cess to the top; sprinkle cheese parings or other food for the rats on the paper for several days. until they begin to think that they have a right to their daily ra- tions from this source; then place in the bottom of the barrel a piece of rock about six or seven inches high. filling with water until only enough of it pro iects above the water for one rat to lodge upon. Now replace the paper, first cut ting a cross in the middle, and the first rat that comes on the barrel top goes through into the water and climbs on the rock. The paper comes back to its orig inal position and the second rat follows the first Then begins a fight for the possession of the dry place on the stone, the noise of which attracts the others. who share the same fate.

DASHED TO DEATH.
An Insane Woman Jumps From a
Moving Train.

Last Sunday morning about 4
o'clock Mrs. Mary Clancy jump
ed from the west bound passenger
train between Painted Rock and
Sentinel and was dashed to death.
The unfortunate woman, accom-
panied by her husband, John Clan
cey, daughter and son-in-law
Frank Schurmann, was on her way
from Chicago to Los Angeles.
According to the evidence pro-
duced at the coroners' inquest
Mrs. Clancy showed symptoms of
insanity shortly after leaving
Chicago and gradually grew worse
until her mind became entirely
unbalanced, at times being so
violent that it required the com
bined efforts of her husband and
son-in-law to prevent her from
jumping off the train. After leav-
ing Maricopa Mrs. Clancey's con-
dition seemed to improve, and her
husband, being very tired from
the long journey, relaxed his
vigilence for moment and fell
asleep. When he awoke, having
slept not more than ten minutes,
his life partner was gone The
train crew was notified of her alb
sence and a search was instituted
Failing to find her on the train

law got off at Sentinel and with
the assistance of the section crew
took handcar and went back
The body was found few miles
east of Sentinel lying beside the
track. Life was not yet extinct
but the body was so badly bruised
that there was no hope of reviving
the unfortunate victim Of an unbal
lanced mind. Death ensued within
few minutes after the body was
found.-Yuma Sun.

FOR EIGHT HOURS.

Press dispatches tell us that
about roo miners at Jerome went
on astrike onA ugust Bird, demand
ing an eight hour day. Senator
Clark was in Jerome at the time
and he fatty refused the demand.
If the miners of this Territory
want an eight hour day as badly
as they seem to now is the time
for them to prove it. Let the
miners of every camp give to the
Jerome miners assistance fnanci-
ally and morally. If the Jerome
strikers win it is one great step
gained, In this way something
can be accomplished and will prove
far more effective than riding
people on rail. We are not ad-
voeating an eight hour day for
miners because we do not know
anything about the merits of the
demand, but we do know that the
miners of the Territory have tried
for legislation on the subject for
years and have always failed for
reasons well known to the public.
Maltreating Legislators for re-
fusing to support such a measure
cannot help the miners cause, and
they know that it is next to i'm
possible to pass an eight hour law
If the miners of the Territory
really want an eight hour day es.
tablished now is the time to estab-
lish it.
If the Jerome strikers win the
next Legislature will pass an eight
hour law.

BUY THEM.

Can the government safely own
and operate the railroads? This
question is soon to be one Of the
livest issues before the American
people, made prominent by the eff:
forts of the great railway magnates
to control all the railroads of the
country. Where the plan of gov
ernment ownership has been tried,
it has invariably proved popular
and has saved many dollars in
freight rates, just as the govern
ment postal system has saved the
postage and at the same time built
up a better system of transporta-
ton and delivery.
We have no power under the
law, to take this property as pub
lie use, without due compensation.
If we had Sl1,845,579 ,593 would
the magnates lake it? 1t took a
war measure to take from the south
its slave property-Winslow Mail.
To which the Phoenix Enterprise
replies:
If Mr.. Morgan can get control
of all the railroads Of the country,
surely the government, with all
the wealth of the country behind
it, can buy them. The roads could
be paid for out of the receipts and
bonds issued to run until the earn
ings .liquidated the debt. The
capitalists of the country would
fall over each other to get the five
per cent bonds.
1t is true that war was necessary
to emancipate the slaves; but be-
hind this war was the fear of con,
fiscation and the right Of secession
on one hand, and compulsory
emancipation on the other. Had
the federal government offered to
buy the slaves and had the ques
ton of states. right been eliminat
ed from the controversy it is very
likely that the slaves would have
; been freed without war.
The government ownership OF
railroads is entirely different
question.

size, which exceeds that Of any

the date is indefinite. The parents

Daring Robbery.

San Francisco, Aug. Cone OF
the most brilliantly executed rob
berries that was ever committed on
the Pacific coast was unearthed to-
day at Vallejo when the great
Shelby Smith Co. at that place dis.
covered that their strong room
had been looted and three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars in gold
bullion carted away.
When employees of the com
pany opened the strong room this
morning the theft was discovered
and the robbers had a start of
twenty-four hours.
The officers and employees of
the company were dumbfounded
at the audacity of the plan.
The thieves had tunneled in
earth three hundred feet away un-
til they reached a point directly
beneath the strong room. An en-
trance was then effected by dyna-
mite. All of the gold bullion
stored in the room was spirited
away in carts with the exception
of one bar which had been drop
ped on the way out.
San Francisco was imme ediately
notified and tonight the entire
police force of the city is working
on the case, but as yet they are en-
tlrely without a clue.
