THE BOYS THAT GET AHEAD.

Charles M. SchWab, president
Of the United States Steel Cor
poration, tells the following sto.
ries:
81 knew an old man in Penn
sylvanla once, the head of great
manufacturing concern, who went
to his foreman and asked him to
recommend one of the boys there
for superior position which was
vacant. The foreman said that
all the boys were good. But
there must be one better than
the Others said the employer.
1T is now five o'clock, quitting
time. Tell all the boys to work
until six O'clock
"The ten boys went to work
willingly enough, but as the
clock pointed near six, nine of
the boys began to cast glances at
it. The tenth boy was too busy
to look at the clock, and he got
the promotion. That boy now
controls an establishment work.
ing thirty thousand men.
Eighteen years ago there was
a tifteen.year-old boy employed
in carrying drinking water to the
men in a steel works. He did his
work so well, however, and al
ways had such cool water and
was so diligent in looking after
the mems wants that he attract.
ed the attention of the workmen.
"A little later an Office boy was
needed, and this boy was remem-
bered and rewarded with the job.
There he pursued the same poll
cy, and in five years a superin-
tendent's assistant was needed.
He was given the place. A little
later he became manager, then
superintendent, and now he is
the president of the Carnegie
Steel Company, employing sixty
thousand men. That water boy
is now President Cory.
"I know of another fifteen-year-
old boy who was in a manual
training school established by
me at Homestead, Pa, fifteen
years ago. One night after all
the other boys had left one of the
officials found him experimenting
with an electric machine. He
gave all his spare time to this ma
chine, and his perseverance al
| tracted the attention of his teach
ers, and he was given an oppor-
tunity to go into the works with
which the school was conducted.
There he pursued the same policy
of concentration. He became in
time assistant manager.
"A few months ago | went to
the works and calling all the
heads of the works together Iun.

with the place, and is now making
a name for himself by dong what
he had to do a little better than
the others. This man is A. l..

dent of the Homestead Steel
Works.

BILL PLEASES THE TRUSTS.

William E. Curtis, a correspondent for the
Chicago Record Herald, says Walter Wellman's
statement regarding the new antitrust bill is
correct; that the measure pleases the trusts.
He SAYS the bill provides for the supervision
and regulation of all corporations engaged in
interstate commerce by bureau which shall be
a part of the new executive department of COM
merce and industry, provided for by bill that
has passed both houses and is now in confer
ence committee This bureau is to have func-
tons and jurisdiction similar to those exercised
bv the interstate commerce commission over
the railroads and the comptroller of the cur-
renew over the national banks. All such cor
porations are to make periodical reports, and
are to be subject to the supervision of the head
of this bureau, who may order an investigation
of their affairs at any time their reports may
seem to him TO justify it, or whenever COM
plants are made by the stockholders. If the
official in charge finds that they have violated
the law, he will be required to report the facts
to the district attorney of the United States,
who shall proceed against the offenders in court.
Taking into consideration the way in which
the interstate commerce commission does not
enforce the law in railroad cases, no wonder
the trusts are pleased with the antitrust bill.

MUNICIPAL COAL YARDS.

An indication of the growth of the Socialist
ic idea is seen in the clamor for municipal coal
wards in some of the Large cities. In Chicago,
the movement is strong Hearst's American
said, in its issue of the 18TH:
ssPublic attention is now centering on the
project for the municipal coal yards that will
break the coal combine.
"Mayor Harrison and most of the aldermen
have expressed their approval OF tho plan.
Prominent business men and citizens generally
are catching al the suggestion and urging its
adoption.
sThe poor who are destitute of fuel are be-
ing supplied. Now, the municipal coal yard,
where coal will be sold at honest prices, is the
most pressing need.
"The second full train-load of coal obtained
by the Chicago American is going out to the
poor, to-day The city wagons are hauling it.
The Bureau of Charities is helping The dstri-
button. The Salvation Army workers are Civ.
ing their time to this charity. The Volunteers
of America are lending every energy to see
that the free coal is properly distributed. The
entire machinery Of the police department is
enlisted in the work of getting this coal to the
destitute.
ssNow, it is the municipal coal yard that is
needed. The great middle class OF people who
can pay for their coal at honest prices, and who
will not take charity, must be cared for. The
public interest in the undertaking to care for
the self-supporting but now suffering people is
growing, and the municipal coal yard is looked
upon as assured"

LONG FOR SENATOR.

The Republicans held caucus to select
candidate for United States senator, Tues
day night, but they were unable to select
a candidate. Stanley, Long and Curtis divided
the votes pretty evenly, and it was impossible to
make choice. Another caucus was held, We'd
nesday night, and at first, conditions seemed
about the same as the night before. However,
the Stanley men saw their candidate could gain
nothing, and they gave up the fight. SANKEY'S
men then went to Long--or most of them did,
and Long received enough votes to secure his
election.
LArER.-Chester l. Long was elected BY ac-
clamation, yesterday.

senate. Rats Burton and Chester |. Long.

CY IS IN THE SADDLE.

Your Uncle Cyrus, better known as "Apple-
Jack Cy" Leland, seems to be running the ma
chine at the state-house. He controlled the
organization of the Legislature; his candidate
for state printer was elected and the indications
are good for the election of his man to the
United States senate.
For some time, it seemed like Leland's enc
mics had the upper hand of him-had him
squeched, so to speak. But, like a cat, he
wrggled loose and landed on his feet, and he
is now about the biggest man in the Legislature.
Leland's enemies have no leader that is able to
make the fight necessary to keep him down.

No Fear OF Socialism.

From the Chicago Record-Herald
Government ownership of coal mines in its
relation to socialism was discussed by Rev.
David Beaton at the Lincoln Park Congregation
al church. He said in part:
"The cynical observer of human nature finds
some humor in situation which unites lawyers
bankers, ministers and policemen to throw off
the veneer of civilization in raid OIL the rail-
roads. But it proves that, behind all conven-
tions OF law or politics. we yet recognize that
the safety of the public is the supreme law.
Now, this episode helps us to answer the ques-
ton, rs the government ownership OF the coal
mines socialism, And the answer is, 'Yes ;
And the question follows What if it is?' That,
or even more, will be done if public safety re-
quires it,
''Some of the most important government
functions some of the most beneficial laws of
civilized countries to-day, are pure forms of So
cialisin, and nobody thinks anything about it.
In fact, the abstract principle is, like the tariff,
laid aside, and it is now purely question of
accommodation to modern life When the state
laws can be broken with impunity by mine
owning railroads, when stock manipulators can
make 81, $685. 900 on single deal, and when
owners of any commodity can corner the mar
ket and break up the ordinary habits of life, the
people will not hesitate long in demanding gov
eminent control of the necessities of life.
revolutionary socialism CAN be averted only by
the altrustic spirit in business, which makes
the public partner and not victim.

Here's A State Of Things.

From The Labor Review.
Bishop Fowler, of Buffalo, speaking at Troy
the other day, declared that the nation is con-
fronting great financial crisis, and that "any-
one who stands squarelv on both feet to-day,
may feel the rumbling of calamity" Bishop
Hamilton, of San Francisco, replied that he
was not apprehensive of any such crisis. "The
country to-day" he said, els in the hands of
capitalists, who, in short time, take hold of
congress. They control the affairs, and as
matter of self.protection, will prevent any ca
lamity."
1t is state of affairs for Americans to be
proud of, is it not, If dozen milonaires in
control of the government are their only safe
guard against calamity?

"WHY NOT STATE COAL ?"

AT times, the Topeka Capital gives evidence
of Socialistic tendencies. Some of its editorials
have the right ring, and if the editor will just
keep his think-box working, he'll get clear
over the fence, into the Socialist pasture. In
recent issue, the Capital said, under the above
heading:
eff the present coal famine continues in
Kansas, severe cha ge in the weather would
bring extreme suffering in the cities and towns,
possibility, and even probability, that should
be considered, and, if possible, prevented by
any and every available measure.
"There is this possible source of relief in
Kansas which is lacking in other states, namely:
that the state of Kansas owns and operates
coal mines. The Capital is not informed as to
how much relief the penitentiary mines are
capable OF giving, whether they are now work
ed to their full capacity or not. Two years
aeo-or was it four?-the Legislature passed
bill prohibiting the sale of state-mined coal in
competition with coal mined by free labor-a
measure which the Capital advocated before it
was introduced in the legislature. We believe
il good law to confne the output of our peni-
Tertiary mines to the use of state institutions
under ordinary circumstances, but under such
extraordinary and alarming circumstances as
those now existing, with an actual or artificial
shortage, and with the people forced to pay ex-
tortionate prices for fuel, the state mines at
Lansing, if able to afford relief, should be
availed of to the extent of their capacity.
"The legislature is, fortunately, in session,
and an emergency measure promptly put
throug, giving the public whatever benefit may
come from working the penitentiary mines to
their highest point of production aud throwing
this coal on the market at fair profit could do
no possible injury to free labor employed in the
mines. There is no danger OF all over-produc-
ton of coal, throwing free labor out of en-
ployment the problem is how to supply coal
enough to protect tie people from blizzard,
which, at this season Of the year, may come
without warning at any moment.
"The Legislature cannot do more timely
service than to offer The people whatever reliet
the Lansing mines are capable of giving"

MACHINE METHODS.

The legislature has elected Geo. A. Clark, re-
cent secretary of state, to the office OF state
printer. He got IS votes. Ed Hoc!l, OF the
Marion Record, received g votes. The Topeka
Capital says Clark was elected through machine
methods, and blames Governor Bailey, Mort
Albaugh and others of "the machine gang
with unfair dealing. Just what the Capital ex-
pected from the crowd that is running the Re-
publican party of Kansas is hard to determine.
The whole thing is run by machine.

The Star Getting SOCialistic.
From the Olathe tribune.

From the Olathe tribune.
The Kansas City Star recently devoted a
leading editorial to the subject of old-age pen
sions, showing that it would not cost more
than 5000, 900, 500 year to provide pension
of 5000 to each couple above the age of seven.
ty. 1t demonstrated the practcability of the
plan. TO remove the fear of want from those
who are growing old and losing their ability to
do the worlds work wonld be wonderful ben
efaction worthy of the best thought and the
best efforts of any people. The age at which
an old-age pension should begin ought not to
be later than seventy years New Zealand has
the scheme in actual operation. In this article,
the Star is committing itself to Socialism, uu
Willingly, perhaps, but fact, just the same.
To care for the old and ini1m without commit
ting them to the poor-house is one OF the
fundamental principles of Socialism, and
good one it is, too. Socialism (Populism) is
growing.

JUDGE GRossCUP, of injunction fame, has
found remedy for the trusts. He proposes
that everybody shall buy share of stock in
the trusts, and, as shareholders, they will be
equal parners with Morgan and Rockefeller.
That's the most sensible remedy that has been
proposed, and comes mighty near being Social
ism-only it isn't. Socialists, it is true, want
every man, woman and child in the country to
own share in the great engines of production
and distribution, but they don't propose that
the American people be hoodwinked into buy
ing any watered stock from trust magnates to-
get what is already theirs. Coming Nation.

NOTHING else ever occurred in this country

in favor of government ownership of the means
