SOCIALIST NEWS and PROGRESS

most remarkable speech was made
recently by Chas. l.. Hutchinson, pres
ident of the Corn Exchange bank
There is no country on the face of
the globe as prosperous as ours" said
he. Granted, us Socialists say. But
that prosperity does not extend all
the way down the line. 1t is mainly
for the capitalists and financiers. Mr..
Hutchinson then takes a. shot at the
Harrison administration and calls it
a weakling and one that will allow
Chicago to be ruined as an industrial
center as trades unions continue to
grow in power. eve need a. strong
and wise government in the city as
we'll as the nation; one that will punish
lawbreaker, be it union man or CAPT.
talist, labor union or corporation, poor
man or rich man. That's the same old
talk about that punishment for the
corporations and the rich. But what's
the use of such stuff. The working
men and women OF Chicago know bet
ter. They also ought to know what
Mr.. Hutchinson means by strong"
government, city and national. If the
interests Of the working class are
identical with that Of the capitalist
class, then why is strong govern
ment necessary to put down strikes
and riots during these prosperous
times? And he did not make that
speech to worlkingmen; he made it to
a Credit Mems Association.
o.:
The war department has announced
through the daily press that governors
nf
riot" cartridges, a ball calculated to
wound and not to kill. Don't you see,
fellow workingnen, how cunning the
dominant class is? They don't want
to kill you off. That would cause a
scarcity in that commodity known as
the labor market. This would increase
expenses and cause q decrease in div
idends. It is desired to simply lay you
up for a month or two in a hospital
during which you may have plenty of
time for, calm reflection, and, perhaps,
decide to be a good fellow the next
time and not interfere with law and
order. Under Socialism instead of
having government preparing to
murder or injure the wage earners, the
object would be to elevate and uplift
humanity. Every move would be to
make life on this globe as pleasant as
possible. Capitalism means war, and
as long as you vote the Democrat or
Republican tickets, you may expect to
get what you have voted for.-Ex.
Philadelphia Conservatory: "The
world cries. for help and you go to it
in the darkness. You go to it without
a cent. You go to it without creed or
law. You go to it empty: of treasure.
But you go to it with full heart The
word of words which abolishes words.
The word Of words of which the sac
rifice of man is a supreme attestation.
The takers talk words. But they do
not speak THIS word. The toilers
say nothing. But this world is on their
lips (Socialism):"

For six months it has been known
that political differences existed De-

Plat. These differences were OF such
a character as to cauee concern In inc

did not take the form of an alignment
of factions in New York state. Ihey

ALASKA RAILROAD PROJECT.
Burlington Said to Be Interested in
Big Scheme.

Portland, Or, Nov. 25-F. G. Helm,
of New York, leading spirit in the Val
des, Copper River and Yukon railway
project, and j. d. McGillivray, we'll
known Alaska mining engineer, have
arrived in Portland on the way from
Valdes to the East.
The road which Mr.. Helms company
proposes to build will run from Valdes
to Eagle City and will have a mileage
of Alb miles. 1t is capitalized for &c.
000, 900, of which about $4,000, 900 is
already pledged. 1t is limited that the
Burlington is backing the scheme with
the view to making it link in q con-
tiRuous railroad from New York to
Paris which lie now being seriously con-
sidered. 1t is said that the Burlington
will build through to the East, connect
with a railroad up the panhandle OF
Alaska to Valdes, Copper River and
Yukon line, from whence a connection
will be built to meet the trans-Slberian
road as soon as it is connected through
to Boring straits.
81 went up to Valdes with attorneys
Of the company" said Mr.. Helm in dis
cussing the road. "We went to settle
up all legal questions and to meet our
engineers Who have been in the field
looking over the lines and examining
our properties. The legal points are
all Satisfactorily settled and our engi-
neers report that over our proposed
route the road building will be not only
feasible, but comparatively easy and
inexpensive, owing to the conformation
of the country"

are apparently most seriously implicat-
ed in the wrongdoing, together with an
account of the steps that have been
taken by the government in each case
and statement of the date of original
appointment of each man in the SER
vice.
The details of the corruption are set
forth in full in Mr.. Bristow's report
and need not be recapitulated by me.
As regards Messrs. Beavers and Machen
the corruption took the form of bribery
and blackmail in connection with the
purchase of government supplies. In
the office of the assistant attorney gen
eral for the postoffice department, un.
der Tyner and Barrett, far greater wrong
was inflicted upon the public than could
be measured by pecuniary standard,
for in this Office the corruption of the
government officials took the form of
favoring get.rich-quick concerns and
similar swindling schemes; in other
words, the criminals whom it was the
sworn duty of these government officials
to prosecute, paid them for permission

Statute of Limitations.
l heartily approve of the recommend
alton of Messrs. Conrad and Bonaparte
that the statute Of limitations be ex-
tended in The case of government SER
wants to period of at least five years;
for the pers, ms who in such positions
OF trust engage in corrupt practices can
ordinarily conceal their guilt for a
longer time than is covered by the
present short statute of limitations.
This recommendation has been laid be-
fore the congress in the report of the
attorney general. ard it is earnestly
hoped that it will he acted upon favor
ably. Moreover, our experiene shows
that outsiders claiming political inf1u-
ence sometimes sell their influence to
candidates for Office. or in other words
blackmail these candidates. There
should be legislation which will permit
of sum mary dealing with such offenders
However. the prime need is not new
legislation, but the punishment of those
who offend against existing laws. The
immediate reformation of the service
by turning out the offenders is not in
itself enough to meet the demands OF
justice.

thesfollowing:
I'm regard to the reported statement
OF the Panama commissioners that Pan.
anna declines responsibility for the Co.

the greater part of the money was Dor.

tionary junta stated that the territory
ofsthe isthmus belonged to the republic
can state of Colombia, to the congress
wehreof it would in due course send its
deputy. The war with Spain continued
for some time thereafter, and in 1922
Colombia issued an external loan of
$1,000, 900, the greater part of which
was to be devoted to the prosecuting Of
the war of independence. In 1924
Colombia issued further loan of $23,.
OOO,O for the same purpose. 1t would
be surprising if Panama attempted to
repudiate responsibility for the money
which assisted her to become part Of
free state"

A Storiette for Women.
THE SECRET OF HER BEAUTIFUL
COMPLEXION. -:

Ida and Marian sat talking in the
dressing room.
II tell you what it is Marian (and she
drew her chair closet), your complexion
has undergone great change You
look so different, quite different from
what you did three months ago"
vDo look so changed ?" asked Mar
ian innocently.
(, cOf course you do, and you know you
do. That is the aggravating part of it,
deary. Come, tell me. Have you been
making up?"
Marian answered with a laugh. -
vWhat a beast you are. What sort of
rouge do you use to get that color?"
Just then brother Tom came in, having
returned from the medical college: Oh
his holiday vacation. IS
SWhat was Ida calling you names for,
Sis?n asked brother Tom.
II want to know where she gets that
stuff she puts on her face to give her that
color and she won't tell me-"
vMarian did not get that color from
any shop, if that's what you mean" said
Tom seriously.
Marian can fool you as well as she
fools everybody else" said Ida.
Brother Tom shook his head.
vThe leopard cannot change his spots,
and girl cannot change her com.
plexion," persisted Ida.
uAnything can be done If you only
know how said Tom. vI'll tell you
how to do it. In the first place, you
girls do not look after your physical con.
ditions seriously enough. A young and
growing girl land mature people as well)
should occasionally use a gentle laxative
pill. 4 think DR.. R. Y. Pierce, who
founded the Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo,

obtained;at almost every drug store. They
are called DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. I
have examined them and know them
to be entirely vegetable in their ingre-
/ dients. They act mildly and gently.
Such a laxative should be taken occa-
sional1y BY every individual when the
liver is sluggish, the stomach sour, or
the tongue coated. In the second place,
the real reason for her beautiful COM
plexion is the use Of DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription. I advised Marian to
take this three times day. She has
done so for the past three weeks, and
you see the result. It is medicine
which is entirely vegetable and does not
contain either alcohol or narcotics. It
therefore cannot harm, and I am sure
it would do you a great deal of good.
Not only does it strengthen, but like the
governor on an engine, certainly regu-
1ates the entire feminine system
ssvYes," said Marian, sit not only has
undoubtedly improved my looks, but I
no longer have those nervous feelings
feelings of weariness, backache and ter
rible blue spells. Then too, Ida, it has
taken away those black circles or rings
which you used to see under my eyes.
Is it not true?D
vThis is what lady wrote me concern
ing the good the Favorite Prescription
might do me if I took it. I found her
name and address in one of those little
memorandum books of DR.. Pierce that
are distributed from house to house.
Here it is}::
