Fun in The Coal Famine

Ottawa Republic.
DIR. Edward Everett Hale has made an address
in Boston on the subject of "Public Ownership"
in which he stated that the early history OF
Massachusetts pointed to the municipal owner
ship of public utilities, and even to the opera
ton OF business affecting the subsistence of
the people John Cotton, the first minister of
Boston, lett in his will $500 sterling to the
town for the erection Of a granary. Perhaps
RIGHT here was planted the germ from which
long afterwards grew the Ocala platform and
the populist idea of sub-treasuary warehouses
for farm crops.
ANYHOW, as DR.. Hale points out, such staunch
old freemeu as Sam Adams and John Hancock,
he OF the k-squanderng signature to the
Declaration of Independence, did not consider
that Boston's ownership of warehouse with
~. 900 bushels of grain for retail to the people
was a menace to the rights of property, or the
individual rights of private traders.
DR.. Hale goes on from this historical fact to
say that the proposal that Boston should buy
roc. 900 tons of coal with city funds and retail
it to her freezing people at fair price to cover
cost and handling, is not SUCH a socIalistlc
menace as to arouse the fears OF supersensltive
patriots aid make them dread the overthrow
of republican institutions.
In tact, Or. Hale THINKS 1t ratneI lat-letcuSu
that this coal-suppiying function by the city
should be so strenuously denounced and opposed,
when that san city OF Boston makes 81 900
year clear profits by renting city towels to
those who use the free baths belonging to the
municipality!
1t rather looks, at this distance, that the doc.
tor has got the Boston pig by the right ear
with his argument. For what form can social
ism take more over the face of the waters that
Providence furnisher freely, decorate them with
signs that say; "Cleanliness is next to Godll-
ness and charge the users of those ablutlon-
ary institutions such fees for the use of city
towels as to reap net profit of 81, 900 annually
upon the towel investment?
Now, thousands of people in Boston are
shivering and suffering from cold and the lack
of coal for cooking aud heating uses. But
when it isproposed that the city buy coal IN bulk
and retail it at cost to the poor and suffering,
who cannot pay coal shlrk prices, great hull
labaloo is raised, if liberty is in peril, tree
government jeopardized and the ancient land
marks of republicahism about to be uprooted.
1t is funny situation, and Dr. Hale is justified
in making fun of it.

.JOHN MITCHELL OPPOSES SOCIALISM.

Tohr Mitchell, one of the greatest men OF
the nation to-day, who is leading the miners OF
the country with steady hand; who success
fully combatted the coal operators ana the
presidents of the coa-carrylng roads, mace
speech at the convention of the United Mine
Workers, at Indianapolis, Tuesday, III winch
he referred to the Efforts that have been MADE
in the convention to commit the organization
to socialism. He denounced socialism as
breeder of disorder and warned the members
of the organization not to permit 1t to enter
into their locals. He said the Socialists are
insinua,ing and armed with many plausible ar
pumeuts but their theories are based upon
wrong ideas of the functions of government,
and, if adopted in practice, would inevitably
lead to anarchy.
Mr.. Mitchell is a noble man-a m an OF abll-
ity, in some respects--and he deserves much
credit for the good work he has don't But,
Mr. Mitchell does not understand socialism.
Onlv few weeks ago, he was in favor of the
government ownership of the coal mines This
is socialistic If it is right for the government
to own the mines, why would 1t not be right
for the government to own the means OF trans
porting the coal to the people! DOES Mr..
Mitchell oppose these things now? If SO,
when. and under what circumstances, did he
change his mind?
If it is right for the government to thus as
sist the coal-miners, why would it be wrong to
help men employed in other industries The
farmers are Just as much in need of protection
as are the miners. Why would it be wrong
for the government to furnish Gown the means
of transporting farm products?
All this is based on socialism. 1t could not
hurt the miners. 1t could not hurt the farmers.
It could hurt nobody but the coal barons, the
railroads, the gamblers in food-stufs, and the
corporations and trusts generally. But 1t
WOULD benefit the wage-workers and the pro-
ducers of the country.
If Mr.. Mitchell will give little time to the
study of socialism, and learn what it really is,
he will change his mind, and will be as 'stren-
uous" in his advocacy of socialism as he now
is in opposing it. If he will look up the true
definition of socialism, in the various dictlon-
aries and cyclopedias, he will learn that social
ism and anarchy are very wide apart
Mr.. Mitchell's heart is right, but his head
does not always work as it should. 1t may
take another strike or two to set him right.

Value OF Strong Convictions
February Success.

February Success.
Men who do things, who achieve results, have
strong convictions They believe something in
particular and believe it without reservation.
A man who is willing to fight for an idea, to
sacrifice everything in order to develop it, has
something definite III his life, specific certainty
that will bring him out somewhere in the neigh
borhood of success.
A man without policy, without definite
purpose without a strong conviction of any
kind, who believes little of everything, and
not much of anything, who is willing, upon
pressure, to relinqush his opinion on any sub
iect, to abandon any idea he hae con-
ceived, whether it be feasible or not, who does
not hold on to any one thing tenacously, will
never accomplish much in this world.
