Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1903-04-03

Boss LELAND and his man Governor Bailey
are in Washington, and this is what they de-
mand of President Roosevelt: that Bill Hood
be made United States circuit judge; that Joe
Bristow be given permanent job with big
salary attachment; that Cy Leland be "6xed;"
that the president provide ways to take care of
the machine men in Kansas, to the end that the
track may be cleared and steam put on for Bailey
to make the run for the United States senate
do all these things; that is what we elected him
for. And if there is anything besides the earth
that the Cymen want, all they have to do is to
mention the matter, and some one will get it
for them. Lawrence JefeIsonian Gazette.

Farmers Club.
Rural Kansan.

Rural Kansan
A farmers club has been organized by the
farmers in Brown county. Its object is some
thing similar to that of town commercial
club; that is, the members work together for
the common good of the farmer; to protect his
interests and see that he gets the benefits Of his
own labor. The club held banquet hot long
ago and it was such a success that it was decided
to make it one of the clubs yearly features.
That is good example for farmers in other
counties to follow.

WHEN Pierpont Morgan gets congress called
in special session next fall to stave off panic,
the first thing to be done will be to take the
peoples money out of the treasury and put it
into the banks. The rate of interest it is pro.
posed the banks shall pay is about u per cent.
The bill ought to have the same kind of
amendment that was once tackled on the same
kind of measure in the Kansas legislature
providing that when the banks re.loan this
money to the people they shall not charge more
than double tie interest they themselves pay
the government, that is the people. A better
plan, though, would be tor the government to
loan the money directly to the people. How
this is done successfully and satisfactorily, in
New Zealand, and at how low rate of interest,
is told in an article published on the second
page Of this issue of the Populst.

at times threaten the peace and welfare of the
nation. The Banking World of March sd says
that three groups of capitalists comprising thir-
teen men in Wall Street are complete masters
of the industrial and commercial interests of this
nation, from centre to circumference.
Now let lis see what it costs the toiler and
consumer to support the profit system:
Bulletin $50, late census, shows that FIVE mil
lion laborers in 1900 produced thirteen billions
of wealth, for which they receive two billion
dollars. Cost of production, including labor,
material and incidental expenses, nine billions;
deducted from thirteen billions net profit.
Now who created the four billions net pro-
ducts? Labor. Who got it? Seven hundred
thousand proprietors got four billions, while
five million toers got only two billions.
Now will any one contend that this is an
equitable distribution of the product of laborl T.
Add to four billions
s55 millions net railroad earnings.
1oS millions for steel monopoly.
4S millions for oil trust.
80 millions for national banks.
so millions for commercial drum
merS.
You have the neat little sum of four billions,
eight hundred and seventy-one millions
Socialism is the direct product Of the iecogni-
ton of the evils exirting in the society of to-day.
What does the Socialist want? He wants
cooperative system of industries where every
man will have an equal opportunity for employ
ment and receive the full product of his toll;
where every child born under the American flag
will have an opportunity for the best possible
education and manual training for some useful
employment, the same as the cadets at West
Point, who are clothed, ted and educated and
furnished with employment, but not for the de-
struction of human life.
They want system that will put an end to
profit, interest and rent, by which the few are
able to exploit the many.
They want each family furnished with good
home, with all modern conveniences-a system
which would abolish want, worry, anxiety and
fear.
is in these fair demands and equal oppor-
tunties for all that lie the Christian and civil
lied elements of society.

SOCIALISM: What What i # isn't: is'.':
A Paper Read Before the Mems Social
Science Club, by Wesley Huff.

snail CONNIE THIS paper 10 an explanation,
first, of what Socialism is not, and next, what
Socialism is. Then will consider the politi-
cal, legal, social and moral condition of society
to.dsy, to show you why Socialism is an abso-
solute necessity to save this nation from i'm
perialism and cruel revolution.
Now shall first tell YOU what Socialism is
not. This seems to be necessary in order to
clear the minds OF many of the false impressions
created by reading the capitalistic press to the
effect
First, that Anarchy and Socialism are iden-
tical.
Second, that Socialism is divide-up scheme.
Third, that it opposes Christianity.
Fourth, that it would destroy the family.
Fifth, that it would destroy all incentive to
industry.
n First-Socialism and Anarchsm are not iden-
Hcal. Their demands are as wide apart as the
north and south poles. Anarchists want no
law. They demand the abolition of all law,
municipal, state and nation. Socialists want
more law. They want the naton--the people
10 collectively own and operate all industries.
An Anarchist is a thoroughbred individualst
or, differently expressed, an individual gone to
seed.
Second-Socialism is not divide-up scheme.
1t would establish an industrial cooperative
system under which all would have an equal
opportunity to get employment and retain the
tull product OF his individual toll, and put an
Z end at once and forever to the "divine right"
of those who own the means OF production to
compel labor to hand over four -6fths of the
products of their toll.
Third-Socialism does not oppose Christian
ity, nor does it oppose any religious belief. 1t
is not religious question. 1t relates to and
explains the economic conditions of the people.
The ethics of Socialism and the ethics of
,Christianity are IDENTICAL and could not oppose
each other.
Fourth-That Socialism would destroy the
family. The family relations under Socialism
would be precisely like those now employed by
the government or state.
Fifth-That it would destroy all incentive to
Industry. An empty stomach has always been
The handspring to exertion. Without stom
no man would ever do manual labor for the love
of it.
Necessity is the only incentive.
y"
Now have told you what Socialism is not.
will try to tell you what it IS.
Webster defines it as ga theory of society that
advocates more precise, orderly and harmon
i.us arrangement of the social relations of man.
kind than that which has hitherto prevailed"
Worcester defines it as "a sciepce Of recon-
struggling society an an entirely new basis by
substituting the principles of association for
that Of competition in every department of in
dus.ry."
The Imperial dictionary defines it as ''the ab-
81 ION of that individual action which mod
ern societies depend, and the substitution of a
regulated system Of cooperation
Lastly, the Socialist defines 1t to be the COL
i, ctive ownership OF all land, all natural re-

sources, the means of production, distribution
and exchange comparatively managed in the
interest of all.
Now have explained to you as near as can
what Socialism Is.
The Socialists contend for this proposition:
That the productions of the means to support
human life, and, next to the production, the
exchange of the thing produced, is the basis
of all social structure; that the economic con-
ditions determine the political, legal, moral and
religious ideas of nation; that the social con-
dition of people depends on who owns the
means OF produce, what is produce, how pro-
duced and how the products are exchanged.
The history of mankind has been the history
of the brutal competitive struggle for existence
on the part of the producers in all past ages,
because the means to produce the means to sus-
lain all life has been primitively owned and
controlled solely for private gain, thereby rob.
bing the producers of half or more Of the fruits
of their toll.
Now, what are the fruits of our present sys-
tenn based on? Private ownership, competition
and profit, for private gain. Private ownership
means private interest. Private interest means
divided interest. Divided interest means COM
petition. Competition leads to strife, discord,
greed, selhshness in every line of industry and
and trade for private ain. Private gain leads
to dishonesty. Dishonesty leads to short
weights and false measures. 1t leads to forgery
and embezzemeut. 1t has polluted the chan
nels of commerce and trade, from factory to re-
taller. 1t has reduced burglary, train-robbing
and bribery to science for private gain. 1t is
responsible for all the extensive fraud in the
commercial world for the past forty years. 1t
has made millonaires and paupers. 1t has re-
suited in the concentration of wealth and power
in the hands of few powerful corporations,
thoroughly organized and chartered, therefore
legalzed monopoles. They contro! every
branch of commerce aud industry. BY compe-
tition they have destroyed competition. They
own and control the source of all raw material.
They own the flushed product. BY improved
machinery they have lessened the opportunities
to labor. They arbitrarily dictate the wages of
the laborei, and arbitrarily fix the ri .e to the
consumer. Satan could not have devised
more efficient means of appropriatng the fruits
of industry to the bene6. of the few at the ex-
pense of the many than these monopolies have,
Centralized industry has reduced eight million
toilers to dependent wage slaves 1t has d,vid-
ed the nation into two powerful warring factions
organized capital and organized labor-lwhich

MILITARY PRISON
BADLY NEEDED.
General Bates Would Relieve the
Overcrowded Condition of
Guardhouses.
THE CHARACTER OF RECRUITS.
Bates Says That 1t Is Not Up to
Standard of Former Years
Retention of Blue Over
coats Is Unpopular.

Chicago. Dec. Elm reviewing the
years work OF the United States Army
in the Department of the Lakes, Major
Chief Of this territorial division, says that
the character and appearance OF recruits
are not up to the standard OF former
years. the number of undeveloped youths
being especially noticeable.
According to the report, the baby blue"
facings for infantry are unpopular, and,
without exception, are opposed by all in
fantry officers. and return to the white
facings is universally desired. as is also
the retention of the officers blue overcoats
in lieu Of the new olive-drab overcoat.
The general mess system in operation
throughout the department Is declared IN
satisfactory, and a return to company
mess system is recommended.
In discussing the need of a military
prison, which the report declares has been
fully demonstrated, General Bates says:
THE post guardhouses have been over
crowded, although under instructions
from superior authority 1 have released
many prisoners where, In my judgment,
such action was not likely to be detri-
mental to discipline; and in some cases
am afraid / have rather exceeded that
limit in efforts to reduce the number of
prisoners.
Furthermore. I think 1t has a bad ef-
feet on the young soldier entering the
service to have constantly before his eyes
those old soldiers serving long sentences,
and that ii would be in the interest of
discipline to send all men under sentence
of a year or more away from the post to a
military prison."
The roster of the department contains
the names of liz commissioned officers
and 2,7A enlisted men.
In the period covered by the report there
were 357 enlisted men tried by general
court-martial, this being an increase OF
twenty-five over last year. OF the 357 men
tried 3i2 were convicted.
