POPuLIsM IN GERMANY
Persistont Efforts Made by P1utocratic
Dnilies to Deceive tho People OF
the United States


The people of the United States have
considered socialism to mean tie col
lective ownership of all the means OF
production and distribution, and when
ever the term socialism is used, that
is what the people understand that 1t
means. The constant talk of socialist
victories in Germany is deception
and a fraud. 1t would appear that
nothing else was contemplated, for
any one who will make the least in
quiry will find t..at the social demo-
Gratis of Germany are not socialists at
all.
According to Prof. John G. Brooks,
who has spent several years in Ger
many studying German socialism, the
socialist party has abandoned much OF
it's early creed, has become broadened
out, and in its propaganda it does not
make the foolish claims which social
lists in America assert. Moreover, the
party has grown tolerant, and instead
of expelling tie critics within the par
ty, has elected them to the relchstag.
The social democratic party of Ger
many has much in common with the
Bryan Hearst Johnson democ-
1acy of this nation. For man like
bernstein to utter in either of the So
cialist parties of this nation the things
he does now would cause him to be
denounced as a traitor and to be ex-
PEELED from the party. ...-.-..
The day will come when the pluto
cratic papers that are now publishing
this falsehood will regret it, The
present object is to divert enough
votes from the populists to make the
sensible and practicable demands OF
the party impossible of realization, by
increasing the socialist vote.

1:es Of Boston and other big cities
will have powerful lobby in Wash
ington in their interest planning to
lease 100000 of the public land at
the nominal rent Of cents an acre
for twenty years"
That would give them a shadow OF
title and they would hold on by force.
1t would look as though the great cat
tie barons "have friend at courts'
and no matter how many families
these rough riders" may massacre,
they have no fear of being punished.
There is not another government on
the face of the earth that would toler-
ate such violations of law. 1t begins
to look as though the powers that be
are protecting, instead of furnishing
the violators of the law.
l wonder if our strenuous president
saw any of those fences when he was
dining and associating with the COW
boys and trough riders" The people
Of this Christian nation need not look
to Kishineff and Russia for massacres
of whole families. Let them wait un-
til some poor family undertakes to
make itself home on the public do
main and upon order from some cattle
baron these hired assassins will wipe
them off the face Of the earth.

HAVE A FRIEND AT COURT
A Homesteader Who Says the Cattle Bar
ons Keep Big Lobby Mt the Ns-
iions's Capital


Editor Independent: In a recent
edition of The Independent | read an
article in regard to the range fences
on the public domain. This represen-
tative of the cattle barons claims that
these fences are a great benefit to the
homesteader. Poor man! Enclosed
find Associated press dispatches relat-
ing how a band Of cow boys murdered
a whole family because they inter
fered with these fences. This is a
gentle hint that the homesteader has
no rights that the cattle kings will re-
spect. One of these cattle barons who
has large tract of public land fenced

me that the fences had come to stay.
He slso said mo matter what you
read In the newspapers, the fences
won't come down" He further said:
Notices will be published in the
newspapers from time to time that
the fences must come down, blh that

A Blow at Majority Ra!e

If any evidence were needed to prove
that majority rule is feared by plu-
tocracy, one could find it in the ju-
dicial attempts to discredit it. The
Dakota amendment was held ineffec-
tive as to any bill passed with the
emergency clause, and now comes the
Oregon circuit court and holds that
the initiative and referendum amend
ment to the constitution is Invalid.
This opinion was given on a demurrer
The independent., 1903-07-09

to the complaint of land owners
against the city of Portland in street
assessment case. The court holds the
amendment unconstitutional on the
ground OF the irregularities on the
part of the legislative assembly In
dealing with the amendment.
Ii this usurpation continues we may
rext expect to have whole sections Of
state constitutions held unconstitu-
tional!

million bushels of Kansas hard wheat
from the Wichita grain dealers
1t is admitted that the grain business
here was given a boost by the flood at
Kansas City. The railroads and the
elevators at Kansas City were put out
of business for a considerable length OF
time by the high water. Under ordinary
conditions an increase of business that
came to one commercial center on &C
count of a temporary misfortune Of a

but the grain dealers here claim that
the trade has simply returned to its

Races without Pool Selling.

Cleveland, o., July 2S-Clevelanders
were treated to the novel sight of a
grand circuit trotting meeting without
pool selling, the courts having prohibit
ed it. This action was the result of the
crusade started by Mayor Golf, of Glen
vile, in whose limits the Cleveland
track is located. In consequence of the
prohibition of betting the crowd was
one of the smallest that has attended
the local meetings in years, while the
fields in the several races were smaller
in spite of the fact that the entry list
had been unusually large. The meeting
was the first trial of an entire card of
two-in- three heat races. 1t cannot be
said that it was success. aside from
a speed point. but there is no doubt
that the time attained was better than
under the old three-in-five heats sys-
tenn. The Monk and Louise Jefferson,
owned by c. K. G. Billings. of Chicago,
were driven mile to pole in 2:141z.

IT LOOKS LIKE PEACE.
Organized Baseball Will Soon Pre-
vail in All Leagues.


Boston, July 2S.-No war. Organized
baseball win soon prevail from one end
of the country to the other. Old meth
DDS and scheming magnates have grown
passe. CULVER Brush has been tied TO
a stake, fguratively speaking, and the
once proud old National league is in the
hands once more of good sportSmen.
Byron Handcroft Johnson has handled
the American League with rare 1udg-
ment, and has now only to keep his
promise made to President Powers to
enter new national agreement with
the National League and the minors.
Messrs. Merely and Harris, of the Cali
fornia League are in the East to con-
fer with the baseball people interested
in new deal all round. Last. week
Secretary Farrell of the minor leagues,
met the California delegates with Pres
ident Lucas and Mr.. Dugdale in Chi
cago and tried to bring about settle
ment on the coast, to find the so-called
outlaw league had all the best of 1t,
and would join the minors only on the
condition that each league go in with
all its clubs. the same as the western
League and American Association nxed
up matters in the West. This the Luz
cas- party could not do. Even with the
strong backing of the minor league or
ganixation President Lucas has made
signal failure. one of his hackers alone
having lost nearly $4,000 at San Fran
the Lucas organization ignored the ad-
vice of the National Board and are now
houndering in a sea of trouble.
Salaries are always high in war times,
and the minors are the greatest suffer-
ers. With a new agreement the play
ers could be controlled and the business
soon put on a paying basis all round.

THE LoNawooD TOURNEY.
Ward and Ware Win Eastern Cham
pionship in Doubles.

Boston, July pa big crowd gather
ed at the tennis courts of the Longwood
Cricket club to witness the concluding
contests in the tournament. which start
ed on its second week Monday. The
tennis which was served was not the
kind that had been looked for, however,
as Champion Larned and H. Ward took
their matches in the semi-final round
with very little trouble.
Larned was pitted against George
Wrenn and although the latter took the
match for the national champion. After
the intermission Wrenn succumbed in
the fourth and concluding, GO.
Larned, in the early part of the play,
was way off his work and put the ball
into the net repeatedly His clever
placing was too much for Wrenn, who
was very slow on his feet, and Wrenn's
frequent outs played a big part in
Larned's win. Neither man played q
fast game and with the exception of one
or two good rallies Larned's line and
cross court shots were the only interest
ing things in the match. The result:
L.arned beat Wrenn 6-4. 6-3, 60.
Holcome Ward found an easy victim
in Beals C. Wright who was tired out
from his hard work of last week Ward
was very quick GA his feet and as soon
as he got Wright on the defensive he
smashed into the corners with telling ef-
feet. The result of this, match was:
Ward beat Wright ga. ga, 6-2.
These two wins in the semi-fnals
bring Ward and Larned together today
in the finals The challenge match with
Clothier will be played on Wednesday.
Ward and Ware won the eastern
doubles championship. feat which they
had practically accomplished by win
ming from Larned and Wright in the
second round. This makes Ward and
Ware the eastern champions and they
will meet Collins and Waidner, the
western champions at Newport on Au-
gust IS. The winner of this contest will
be called upon to meet the Doherty
brothers at Newport for the national
championship. In the finals this morn
ing Ward and Ware had an easy time
with Holt and Merrill. who had won
their way into the finals through an
easy field and went down before the
eastern champions 7-5. Ga, ell
