SOLUTION IN SOCIALISM
A. NJ. DEWEY, OF WASHINGTON,
ARRANGES MODERN COM
PETITIVE SYSTEM
Other RefOrmers Are RELOCATED to
Visionary CIass-Ten Counts in
His Indictment of Exist
ing Conditions.

A. NJ. Dewey, who is a special agent Of
the national department of labor at
Washington and a Socialist of promi-
nence, lectured yesterday afternoon at
Pfeiffer's hall, under the auspices of the
Socialist Democratic organization, of this
city, his subject being: indictments
Against the Competitive System
The audience was larger than was
usual at these Sunday afternoon meet
ings, and the sentiments expressed by
the speaker were received with frequent
and hearty applause
The early portion of his address was
devoted to discussion Of the various
schools of reform and their weak points
Each class Of refOrmerS, he said, was
bound up in it's own theories, and to a
great extent believed that adoption of it's
principles would right all existing evils
The church refOrmers believed that all
Of the wrongs of existing conditions had
their basis in the sin which had crept in
to the world before any Of us were born,
and while they labOred hard to eradicate
sins in Its various forms, they did not
so Systematically to work to remove the
incentives to sin, which are to be found
i'll the existing social condition.
The labor ref0rmers, he said, believed
that shorter hours Of work and better
pay would bring about satisfactory Ncon-
ditions, and pay capital a fair profit as
its share of the business scheme of the
community. He contended that the only
fair wage to labor would be the whole
Of what labor produced, and that as cap
no fundamental right to anything Gre
ated by labor
There were also prison reformers, he
said who devoted their time and effort
TO the betterment of the condition of the
criminals confined in penitentiaries and
other penal Institutions. They did not
seem to see that the inmates of those
institutions are better housed and better
fed and better cared for in every way
than the average honet working man.
He divided his Indictment against the
competitive system of industry into varf-
Gus counts, as follows:
First-It arrays man against his fell
low men in the scheme of life.
Second-Tt puts a premium upon dis
honesty and discounts truth
Third-It establishes false standards of
measurement
Fourth-It has corrupted the courts
and legislatures.
F1fth-It robs men of their manhood
and women of their virtue.
Sixth-It has taken from labor the
fruitage of its toll.
Seventh-It dwarfs the intellect and
will destroy the state.
Elghth-It neutralizes the influence of
church and fraternal brotherhood
Ninth-It brushes the manly hopes of
labor and tramples poor humanity in the
DUST.

NO CORRUPTION FUND.

The information is being sent wide
spread throughout the country from
Washington that the Democratic con-
gressional committee is at serious dis
advantage through the lack of ade-
quate campaign funds, and that the
lack of money is regarded by the COM
mittee as certain to result in defeat of
the party in many sections of the coun-
try in which prospects of success are
promising.
These reports are Of purely Repub-
lican origin. They have no foundation
in fact and the conclusions drawn in
them are utterly without warrant A

ed as essential to the successful con-
duct of every Republican campaign.
state and national alike There is no
secret being made that money is the
The contributions of the tariff pro-
tected trusts, even when relatively
trivial, have in the aggregate been
sufficient in the past to establish, and
have established, an unlimited fund
for the corruption of the American
electorate. Democratic success cannot
proceed from any such source, and if
success is only to be had by Democrats
through such an agency continued de-
feat is inevitable.
One of the Washington dispatches on
this subject declares that the need of
money is greatly felt in the Duluth dis
trict in the accomplishment Of the pur-
pose of returning a Democratic sue
cessor of Page Morris to congress and
also in the opposition Of the party to
Congressman Eddy's reelection. There
is not a shadow Of truth in any such
reports. The Democracy of Minnesota
have engaged in a winning campaign
both for congressional and state Offices,
and the success which will come will
not only not be the product of money
contribution, BUT will be realized in
spite of the inhibited resources in this
regard of the Republican machine. The

INTERURBAN EXPREssAGE.

At intervals since the establishment
of the interurban street car line the
corporation operating that line has
ditionaI privilege. All such plans of
that corporation have successfully met
with effective public opposition. The
proposed boulevarding Of University
avenue and the proposed operation of
express trains met the same fate.
The latest proposition attributed to
the interurban concern is that Of Sc
curing the right to do an express bust
ness between the two cities. In the
present, as in all other cases, the addi-
tional privilege is sought, as we are as
sured, wholly for the public conven-
fence. 1t certainly would be substan-
tial public convenience could a more
speedy and effective system of parcel
delivery be established between the
two cities. The question with which
the people Of this community will con-
Germ themselves in considering the
matter will principally be the one as to
whether the street railway concern is
the proper medium to furnish the peo-
pie of the two cities with better ex-
press service for the delivery of light
merchandise. Of course there are 9TH
er questions which will suggest them
selves in that behalf, as for instance,
whether the apparently all embracing
franchises under which our street car
system is operated are sufficiently broad
even to include the right to do an ex-
press business, or whether it is expect
ed that the city authorities will confer
upon the street car company such
public privilege at the customary rate
of compensation.
T h e G. o b is not disposed to be-
lieve that the express proposal will re-
ceive any more favorable consideration
from the people of this community than
did the others. Other and no doubt bet
ter means can be discovered by private
enterprise for supplying this business
want, but if such proposal should re-
ceive public entertainment it might be
worth while to suggest that the new
industry would present an admirable
opportunity for the construction of that
third interurban system of which the
public has been kept reminded for
some years past. 1t would be much
more convenient from the public
point of view, at least, for the street
railway concern Ito conduct its propos-
ed freight carrying business over a
new route. It's Incorporation of that
business with that now done, either
over the University or the Como-Har-
riet line, would hardly be regarded as
an enlargement of the public usefulness
and convenience of those lines.
Whatever may be the fate of this
latest proposal attributed to our street
car concern, it admits of no doubt
whatever that the people Of the two
cites stand at this moment in imme-
date and urgent need of. an improved
system of parcel delivery from one to
the other.

inaugurated Immediately after the adj
journment of the last session of con-
gress. President Roosevelt it was who
inaugurated it. If his purpose and the
purpose of his administration is not
to stave off responsibility for the mac
ton of congress, the time is now ripe
for announcing that the negotiation of
reciprocity treaties will be feature of
administration policy to be inaugural
ed at the next regular session of con-
gress, or at any extra session that may
be convened in the interval
If this assurance is not given, and if
the senate should be convened for the
promotion of reciprocity with Cuba the
conclusion is perfectly logical that there
is no intention at any time in the flu
ture on the part of the administration
to commit itself to the promotion of
the reciprocity idea, or in any wise to
interfere with the existing trust breed
ing schedules of the Dingley law.

WHY NOT ALL THE TREATIgsq

The Washington dispatches make if
quite clear that the senate will be con-
Vened early in November for the pur-
pose of acting upon proposed reci-
procity treaty with Cuba, or else that
both houses of congress will be brought
together on the more comprehensive
plan of securing legislation effect
ing trade between the two countries.
After the defeat of the president by
the insurgent element in Congress had
been completed the announcement
came from the White house that the
senate would be asked to enact reci-
procity treaty with Cuba. No doubt
that policy will be carried out after the
elections, as being the simpler and the
safer procedure from the standpoint
Of party interests
The proposed ratification of reci
precity treaty with Cuba inevitably
suggests the inquiry, whether action
should not at the same time be taken
on the other reciprocity treaties now
pending in the senate? The last presi-
dental campaign was conducted on the
Republican side in great measure on
the assumption that reciprocity as the
handmaiden of protection should be-
come living reality in case the adj
ministration continued in control Of
the executive department and of the
party majority in the senate.
Practically the first act of the Roose-
welt administration was to falsify this
promise. While protesting to carry out
the policies outlined by his prede-
cessor, the administration of the pres
ent national executive has sedulousIv
avoided all action whatever 11pon tba
proposed treaties. More than that, it
was made plain at the outset of the
Roosevelt administration that nothing

has been rigidly adhered to since.
Ii the claim put forward on behalf
Of the Republican party has any foun-
dation in fact, that modification of
the tariff schedules will be carried into
operation, the negotiation of a treaty
with Cuba affords the best and earliest
opportunity. for establishing that claim.
The country has at this time the right
to know whether the reciprocity
treaties will be acted upon at any extra
session that may be called, and if not.
why not? A deliberate and well planned
scheme of evading the public demand
for the revision of the tariff so as to
