SOCIALISM REJECTED.

In spite OF the effort OF the Socialists
In tho convention Of the United Mine
Workers recently held at Indianapolis,
ownership and operation OF the coal mines
ana coal roads OF the country was de-
feated In this the DELEGATES showed
their good sense. If the government
owned and operated tho coal mines and
railroads one or tho other of two things
would happen. Either the government
would control tho operatives or the opera
tlves would control tho government.
Arc tho Independent worllngmcn Of
this country ready TO surrender their
independence and make themselves the
slaves of government? What possible
chance would they have to rise and
better their condition II tho government
owned and controlled them? What chance
would they have OF getting n proprietary
interest In the mines and railroads which
they Should serve. or what chance OF
profit sharing? Every sensible working
man knows that In such situation there
would DO political corruption, and men
would DO put in good positions. not by
tho business rule OF merit, but by the
political rue OF favorltlsm. CIT would be
n prolific source of political corruption
and tho worl1lngman would have hard
lot unless no happened to BIO one OF the
favorltes.
But suppose in such situation the
workingmen. should control: suppose they
should compel the government to raise
wages and shorten hours until by and
by the government should not receive
enough revenue from the mines to pay
the expenses That Is tho way tho gov
eminent runs tho postofllce department..
That department has never paid expenses
but every year there is an nppropria-
ton OFT of the general fund to meet the
deficiency Tho public stand this because
/ ! whole public Is served, But the pub
lie would never consent that the coal
mines and the railroads should DO run
In the interest OF class at the public
expense.
From whatever point we view It, all
such claims arc utterly visionary and de-
structive in their tendency.
But there is apart from all this high
err and greater principle involved. Carry
that idea out completely and our form
OF government would soon BIO in name
only. The only salvation for this Re
public is true Democracy. and every time
we depart from the principles of DEM
ocracy as delivered to the saints; We get
upon dangerous ground and go in tho
road that leads to destruction.

The President and Congress.

There was something curlously "aca-
demlc' about Senator Hoar's denuncin-
ton of the fact that the President had
told M Individual Senator that he would
sign Il bill which he had vetoed If GER
tain change were made In It. We say OF
the fact, for the venerable Senator seem
ed to avoid donuncation of tho President,
His theme was that which Is famous In
the British parliamentary records Of the
eighteenth century: "Resolved, that the
power OF the crown has increased, is In
crcas!ng, and ought to DO diminished"
That Is what makes the discus sion
academic" Because Senator lIoar does
not pretend to offer any remedy or to
tell how the President IL to be prevented
from expressing his opinion on current
legislation. or on anything else, to n
single Senator or other citizen, or to rs
many Senators or other citizens as may
care 10 hear them. What does Senator
Hoar mean to do about It? Apparently
nothing, but to say 1t Is not constitu-
tIonal. Eut whoever knows tho President
knows that "constitutonal' Is precisely
what It Is,
Perhaps the flttest comment upon the
lecture which the Senator read tha Presl-
dent ~, .prt5 which Senator Spoonei

we note that James Hayes, the negro
lawyer and associate counsel with John

rampage in Washington. He made
speech in that city on Monday night
before an enthusiastic audience of his
