system and thus make all postal en-
ployes subject to private corpora
tions. Our government ruus the mail
system, and We never heard of q
strike among mail employees, or that
the government had TO suspend opera
tions because it could nol get all the
hired help 1t needed.
Monarchical governments will use
monarchical methods in managing
public affairs. Ii is therefore not fair
to use any misuse of power in such
countries as an argument against
government ownership in q country
where the people can punish the gov
ernment for any misuse of its power.
A fair comparison is to see how the
system of government ownership has
worked here as far as ie has been ap-
piled. If it has wor ked satisfactorily
why should it not be extended to
other branches of vital importance to
the people?

Why Not Freight Shlps7

The president is urging q larger
navy under pretense that we need it to
enforce the Monroe doctrine. No na-
tion is likely to ssssil that doctrine,
bu' if we need more ships, why not
build transport ships? When the war
with Spain broke out we had to buy q
lot of vessels of doubtful value and
pay for them at high price. Why
not build . few vessels that can be
used for transport service in. time OF
war and for merchandise in time of
peace2 With such vessels our govern
ment could establish lines between our
seaPorts and the seaports of South
and Central America. They would
give experience to our officers and sea-
men, establish communication with
the countries whose rights we guard,
improve mail and freight facilities
aud at :he same time give US vessels
that can in time of need, be added to
our feet? Why DOT? This would be
q far more useful expenditure of pub
lie money than that which the presi-
dent cOntemplates.-Commoner.

melia, and Crete, is Christian prov
ince of Turkey, suffering, as they once
suffered, from intolerable maladmin-
istration and oppression. The treaty
of Berlin stipulated for certain re-
forms in the local government similar
to those which were demanded for
Crete. They have never been carried
out. The obvious conclusion is that
the dissa tisfaction and turbulence of
the cedonians are due to the nonful-
filment of the treaty, and that the
proper remedy is either to insist on the
reforms being fully and honestly ap-
piled, or, if it be too late to invoke the
palliative, to expel the Turks altogeth-
er, and give the province some such
autonomy as has fallen to the emanci-
pated Christian dependencies of the
sublime porte.
Where in all this is menace to Euro
pean peace?
The question is tangle of many
questions, involving the ambitions Of
states. In the first place there is no
such thing as a Macedonian nation.
Macedonia, like Austria, is a geographi-
cal expression, covering an ethnograph-
ic Babel. The population is madden
ing mixture of Greeks, Bulgarians, Serbs
and Roumanians, and a variety of mi
nor races, who are still further split
up by religious and sectarian differ
ences. There is no national union
among them, and although they are for
the most part Of the Slav race, they are
incapable of uniting on that issue, and
still less capable of rallying to one of
the neighboring independent slav
states, seeing that some gravitste to-
wards Bulgaria, others towards Servia,
others again towards Montenegro, and
q considerable section towards the
growing Slav power in Austria. Each
Of these nations hates the other more
bitterly than any Of them hates the
Turk. Hence an attempt to solve the
grievances of the Macedonians on the
basis of emancipation from Turkey is
likely to result in a serious conflict be
tween at least the Bulgarophilsand,the
Serbophils, while it is exceedingly
probable that Greece would find it nee
essary also to assert her rights. ~,
The most serious dangers arise, how
ever, from the conflicting interests OF
Russia and Austria. Il enee Mace.

pay dividends on watered stock. The
government could ther efore afford TO
pay living wages to its employees and
still give more reasonable rates than
we ges now. The laboring people
would have : good deal more in

could help depose than they ever can
have with private employers who are
not dependent upon them for power to

that the laborers have no influence
with the government. Holland is a
monarchy, where the governing class
have the old notion, sometimes ex-
pressed by overbearing plutocrats
even in our country, that the laborer
is of q lower order in nature. not fit
to take part in the government, and
that it is dangerous to give him better
advantages as it will awaken in him q
desire to get up higher and thus dis
turb the old and sacred order of
things. The monarch has the abso.
Lutte right to appoint the executive
council. The upper chamber Of the
lawmaking power is selected by the
different state governments from the
ranks Of the nobility. The lower
house is elected by limited number
of electors, the right of suffrage de-
pending upon holding certain
amount OF property. So high is this
limit placed that only about one out
of forty of the population has the
right to vote. 1t can thus be seen at
once that the government is not IN
any way dependent upon the laboring
classes for continuance in power, and
will therefore pay little attention t ,
their wants. 1t is government for
the rich and for the keeping down Of
the laborer. 1t would exerc SO that
power against the workmen on the
railroads no matter whether the roads
were owned by the governmt Mt or by
private parties. !

The Evening Wisconsin Makes Little
Comparison Must Be Remember
cd that the System Of Government Is
Is Not the Same Here ss in Holland.
Workingmen who have been misled
by agitato.s .s into the belief that So
cialism offers haven of relief for the
working classes should study the OBJ
j.ct lesson which is presented in Hol-
land. There the state is the owner
and operator of railways. That ia
socialism, as far as it goes.
Are railway employees better of
working for the government in HOl-
land than they would be If working for
Independent corporations, or, as So
cialists would phrase it, for represen-
tative of the capitalstic class? Not
ut all. The relations of workingmen
to their employer are complicated in
stead of simplifed when their en-
~ployer is the government. The gov
ernment of Holland has procured the
passage of laws practically forbid
ding employees on the state railways
from exercising the right of quitting
their employment when its conditions
become distasteful. In Holland, un-
der the laws to which state ownership
of railways has given rise, q striker
is treated as a rebel, because ia ris-
ing against his employer he rises
against the state.
! It behooves intelligent workingmen
everywhere to study the situation in
Holland. If they consider what has
happened in that country during the
week they will be likely to conclude
that with. socialism put into practice
rywhere the last estate OF the work
ing man would be worse than the first.
Evening Wisconsin.
Tie question whether or not govern
ment power in any direction will be
beneficial to the people depends upon
how much the people have to say
about the management of the govern
ment. The fact that in Holland the
government may use it's power against
the laborers does not prove that gov.
