FEMALES FAVOR POISON.
TN every age group there are more males
Who take their lives by shooting than by

NIXON ADVISES AGAINST

New York, Oct s-RegistratiOn for the

day. but the storm prevented thousands
Of the electors from presenting themselves

the names Of other men. who had re-

time NortOni interviewed the men,
heard their stories and secured the pa

All OF these men said that they had re-

Mayor Haynes Position

When you come to think about 1t, it is
rather queer that Mayor Haynes should
want big mass meeting to back him up
before he closes the disreputable resorts
on Main street.
Put in other words, the mayor wants a
mass meeting Of large size to adopt reso-
lutions in favor Of having him enforce the
law before he will enforce it.
Applying this rule to other offenders and
other offenses, the mayor would hesitate
to have the police arrest a murderer or a
thief without first getting the sanction Of
public opinion thru mass meeting.
Mass meetings are sometimes necessary
in order to persuade public officials to do
their duty, but Mayor Haynes ought not
to need such persuasion.
We have stated the situation BADLY as
it is, according to law; but custom and
the whole attitude of the municipality to-
ward houses of ill-fame must be taken
into consideration. 1t seems to be tacitly
understood that they shall be permitted
to exist somewhere. To drive such estab-
lshments out Of Main street is merely to
locate them somewhere else.
| Still, the mayor, in view of the efforts
making to clean up this portion of the
I city, should not hesitate moment to do
his part simply because no large mass
meeting demands it. Surely he will not
be so bold as to infer from the smallness
Of last nights meeting that public opinion

The Friends and Opponents of So
cialism. :

In discussing the resolutions as to trusts
offered to- the American Bar association
by it's committee on commercial law the
New York Post says that as long as our
trusts wax unchecked there is powerful
ammunition at hand for those who desire
the naturalization of all industry and
those who are championing various sorts
Of aggression against property.
And yet the Post had no kind words
for Governor Van SAINT when he began the
work that President Roosevelt afterwards
took up. The Post is now even willing
to agree. with the Bar associations, COM
mittee that q United States Securities
company might easily have followed the
Northern Securities company. 49,
1t has often been remarked that the So
cialists view with pleasure the march of
consolidate ton, because they think it illus
| trates the strength of their contention in
favor of universal cooperation and be-
cause they think that the consolidation,
under the capitalistic system, of so much
power and wealth in few hands will
hasten the advent of naturalization. They
argue with much reason that when the
time comes it will be- much easier to ma
| tionalize industries controlled by a few
men than industries in which thousands
and millions of men have stake.
The great fortunes of to-day are due
entirely to the boundless opportunities of
| individualism. The real interest of men
who have accumulated property is to
strengthen and uphold the present sys-
tenn of individualism. But those of them
who have entered into the great consoli-
dations Of the times do not understand
this simple truth, and they rail and rage
at President Roosevelt for having done
them a positive service In checking the
rush towards socialism. Socialism has a
bad sound to most Americans, but as ar
ultimate choice some form of it may be
a more desirable evil than domination by
trusts. If it is our destiny to be con.
trolled by trusts, the only way we car
retain a measure of freedom is to be g
part of the trusts, and that means ma.
tionalization of industry. And we shall
be controlled by trusts unless we proceed
to control them in good time
