TRIBUTE To
IL, CARRIER
A Retired Army Officer
Praises Young
Man.

A retired army officer pays the follow
ing tribute to the memory OF the late
Lieut.. Guilford S. CARRIER, A. C., who
shot and killed himself recently al Camp
Mckinley:
TO the Editor of the Army and Navy
Journal:
The brief dispatch announcing the
death of Lieut. Guilford S CARRIER, Art.
Corps, was terrible shock to his many
friends. The Army has certainly lost a
brilliant young officer in the death of
Lieutenant CARRIER. His friends are very
slow to believe that his death was the re-
suit of dissipation, but rather of a dis
eased mind. Like many young men he
was social and at times may have in
dulged in drinking While at his home
IN Madison, this State, none OF his
friends noticed in any way that he had
acquired this habit We ali look at it
and believe that his mind was diseased
by reason of his hard service in the
Philippines, and we do not imagine that
he was dissipated man. One who
knew him better than any other, writes
OF him: "A sweet, affectionate little
child-the first born; bright and man
ly boy; young man, genial. generous,
ambitious A soldier naturally, by in
heritance, by instinct. A record lumin-
Gus with kindness to the men under
him; with studious application to books
and work; with a proud record for dan

honors fairly won. With most marked

enplary; no cloud upon the horizon
such a man does not lose his head for
ordinary cause. Back of it all is the
climatic influence of the tropics; the in
tense application and excited life of
recent years.
THE bravest man in the British army
but recently took his life IN Paris be-
cause falsely accused of crime. Scarcely
a week goes by but the inexplicable self
destruction of Philippine officer or sol
der is chronicled from temporary insan-
ity, lying latent in the system and sud-
denly developed after return to this |
country Some have died without eX-
PLANTATION or word as to the cause of
their act. others in their hallucination |
have falsely accused themselves. Such |
has been the shocking fate of young |
man of noble aspirations. pure purposes
and ardent love OF country.
"He has honored the city and State
of his birth bv his life and services. His.
high character and 1ovable personality
will ever be cherished by his family, his
relatives and friends. His shocking and
1ntirnely death will be remembered as
casualty of war, not less true and real
because indirect and remote.
His ancestors were men who had held
positions in the Army and Navy from
he Revolutionar-- War to the present
lay. He was member of the Loyal
Legion, his father having waived his
light to allow him to join and was proud
If the order With his position in the
Army he could say, Il stand where gen
erations of my family have stood He
was good, brave and conscientious sol
iier and all will think of him as bright,
lappy-faced boy whose memory will not
soon be forgotten.

nominating speech for Judge Parker at
ST. Louis.
Mr.. Littleton is numbered among
the telling speakers of the Democracy,
yet he cannot speak offhand, He com
mits to memory every word of his
speeches and does it so throughly that
there is never a slip in his delivery.
When Mr.. Littleton learns that ne is
to make a speech he sallies forth to
his stationer's, where he buys a col
lection of pads of colored paper such
as would serve in an examination for
color blindness. He gets white pads,
red pads, heliotrope pads and pink
pads. Then he goes to the pencil case
and picks out pencils OF every color
of lead that the house affords. Then
| he goes home, ready for work.
The rest is easy. Mr.. Littleton
writes the first page of his speech on
white paper with a black pencil, the
second with a bule pencil, the third
with a red pencil. and so on until all
the pencils have been used on the
white pad. Then he grabs the red pad
and writes upon it with all the PEN
cils-except, perhaps, the red pencil
dropping pencil at the end of each
sheet and taking up another.
And then? Why, tbs very simple, at |
least for the Brooklyn orator. He |
reads the speech to himself, over and |
over, and each sheet Of paper impresses
itself upon his memory He knows /
that when he stands before his audi |
ence he. can gaze into space and every |
sheet viii parade before him in the !
written order. It will be just as easy |
as though he had written his speech |
on stereopticon slides and had it fash |
ed at the back Of the convention hall. !
When he gets along with a para
graph about the honor conferred on |
sanguine Democratic national conven-
ton of decade" he viii have the
white page and the black pencil before
his minds eye. The real paper and
pencil may be in the ash can by that
time. As he cones to the part about
the honored judiciary of our great
State" he may be looking at yellow
writing on green pad.
His peroration, fraught with en-
thusIasm, may swim before him IN pur-
pie on pink, but his hearers w-''' think
it is nothing but pure inspiration.
Senator Joe Bailey Of Texas, who is
one Of the steadiest takers in Con-
gress, has all his speeches pat before
he takes the floor. He Inemorizes them
by main strength. Senator Joe once
said it was a shame the way the House
IF Representative restrained the speech
Of its members.
Why" he declared Indignantly. mo
real orator can get into his stride in
ess than an hour" That was about
he time he spoke for two hours on the
Inference between "a quorum and
the quorum"
Bourke Cochran, who is a natural
'rator, does not nernorize his speeches.
He keeps the order Of his argument
n mind. but his huency and vocabu-
airy are great. The ideas he utters one il
lay in one set of words he may repeat 6
he next day in far different verbal g
orn, but with exactly the same mean n
ng.

According to the socialist doctrine
of economic determinism, a repub-
llcan congressman from Nebraska
must be as smooth as snake doctor
to keep his constituents from rebell-

an agricultural constituency, but must
in reality work for the interests of
the dominant" class-which Just now
happens to be the plutocratic-manu-
featuring ng-trust-railroad eie-
ment.
There isn't anything that the Hon
orable Elmer j. Burkett, of the First
Nebraska district. can do for bis con-
stituents, except TO grab for a few of
the towns new postoffice building

vital public qnestion he must stand

Prof. Thomas E. Will, president OF the
American socialist college. Wichita,
Kas 1t believes that Independent
readers will derive much good from
reading his article concerning "the
robber who takes all that is Jeff" {"
which appears elsewhere in this issue.
Prof. Will has happy way OF ex-
pressing himself-a good-natured,
'jOllying" style, which is in great
contrast with the acrid, acrimonious,
venomous writings of many so-calIed
scientific" socialists, for example,
those Of the DE- Leon school. Yet if
there be anything really scientific"
about socialism, The Independent is
inclined to believe that the De Leon
ties give by far the better presenta-
tion. Eliminating from S. L. P. writ
ing the unnecessary harshness-w which
has really no place in scientific writ
ing--and 1t is much more consistent
than the happy go-lucky socialism"
of Prof. Will.
The Independent takes it that Prof.
Will-although he does not say as
rnuch-is firm believer in the Marx
ian theory of :'surplus value" and the
MARKHAM Interpretation of Ricardo's
value theory in general. This infer
ence is drawn from Prof. Wits state
ment that
Bourgeois public ownership
would leave some of the robbers
in full swing"
And who would comprise this
"some?" Well he mentions "reaf
estate men," thus making nappy bid
for single takers support. But lie
skilfully covers up the fact that lie
really includes in this some" every
employer of labor, every. person WHO
exploits" another through the sur
plus value system of robbery. In
other words, every man who hires an
other and pays him wages is an "ex-
ploiter," in reality-as Prot Will
means, but does not say directly-"the
r0bber who takes all that is left" or,
stated more nearly in accord with
scientific" formula: the original rob-
Der who takes all, but is compelled to
divide the swag later on with the
other robbers. For Prof. Will neatly
covers up one Of the fundamentals of
socialism In his article, the fact that
(If socialism be really "scientific)
there can be no exploitation" or rob-
berry, except In the way of surplus
value" In other woras, the laborer
Is the only producer" IL he Is
wage-worlSer, his employer robs him
OF all but living; but the robber in
turn Is compelled to di,ide up with
other robbers.
Now, the farm-owning farmer-vac-
cording To scientific" soclalsm-not
being a wage-worker, cannot be 'ex-
plotted" But he may or may not
himself be robber, accordingly as he
does or does not employ others TO la
Dor for him. II he does. he II "one
OF the robbers who must be com
PEELED 20 quit stealing.
II Ii To be noted that Prof viii
fails 10 agree with himself all the way
through his article, "The producers.
he says. must conquer the powers of
government They must teke over
ALL the public utilities. ALL the ucc-
cnsitIes OF life. aud operate thcm cell
lectlyely In the Interest OF the eativc
people. N0thlag short of this can
possibly do the work"
Now. that II good statement of q
really 'sclenslfc socialism. Nothing
short ol taking over "all the necessl-
tics Of life" and their operation "coi-

HARTMAN DOES NOT LIKE DIS
TRIBuTIoN PLAN OF NORTH
ERIN SECURITIES.
STARTS ACTION TO INTERVENE
WILL ASK FEDERAL COURT TO
PREVENT PRO RATA DIS
TRIBUTloN.
WANTS HIS OWN STOCK BACK
WHICH WOULD PLACE HIM IN
CONTROL OF NORTHERN
PACIFIC.

st. Paul, April 5. - A petition for
permission TO intervene in the suit OF
the United States against the North
ern Securities company has been
served by f. H. Hartman, Winslow
s. Pierce and the Oregon Short Line,
as stockholders in the Northern Sc
curities company, upon M. d. Grover,
c. w. Bum and George r. Young. at
torneys for the Northern Securities
company. The notice of the petition
was served Saturday afternoon by
William Guthrie and Attorney Bald
win, who drew up the petition for the
i~ntervenors.
This action is brought by the plain
tiffs in order to be heard on the ques-
ton of the method of distributing the
shares of the two railroad companies,
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific. They contend that the distri-
button of the stock should not be
made ratably, as proposed by a cir
cular issued recently by the Northern
Securities company, although it is un-
derstood that Mr.. Hartman signed
the circular.
In their petition they pray that
each shareholder, or his assigns, who
sold shares to the Northern Securi-
ties company,
Should Receive Back
from the company the stock that he
sold. Those that sold Great Northern
to get Great Northern, and those that
sold Northern Pacific stock to receive
the same stock back when a distribu-
ton is made, instead of being re-
CURED to accept a pro rata share OF
the stock Of both railroads.
AS yet there has been no motion
made before the United States cir
cult court of appeals for leave to file
a petition in Intervention. The nat
ural course will be for the interven-
ors to make application to the United
States circuit court for leave to file a
petition in Intervention, SO that they
can secure the release of their stock.
f. II. Hartman is opposed to a
ratable distribution Of stock because,
under the system of distribution as
proposed in the petition in interven-
tion he will secure a controlling in
terest in the stock of the Northern
Pacific, as he held the bulk of that
stock, and then the Union Pacific,
which controls the Southern Pacific,
will control the Northern Pacific and
every road to the Pacific coast Will be
in the hands of Hartman with the
exception of the Great Northern.
