We do not claim that the best

Our good friends of the old Reform
party thought the Legislature OF
1887 and 1888 was a perfect model,
and yet the laws passed in the

BY M, P. Shawkey.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Aug. 10
The Senate had a short calendar and
cleared. it up early in the day, and
then took a recess till afternoon to
take up the bills reported from the
House. The House refused to concur
in the amendments to House bill 1,
made by the Senate, and asked for a
conference committee. House bill IS
was taken up and after considering a
number of amendments was put up on
its third reading. This bill provides
for a reasSessment of all real estate
next year, and it is intended to reach
some lines of property heretofore un-
touched by the assessor. 1t will TAX
part of the annual production of oil
and gas. Kenny fiercely opposed the
oil and gas section. Senate bill No.
1, providing for the tax commissioner
was advanced to third reading after
spirited discussion of some propos-
ed amendments.
The Democrats Of the House are or.
the war path again. They have dis
covered that the assessors for the re-
valuation are to be appointed by the
State tax commissioner, who they adj.
nit will always be Republican.
Their threat is to hold up the appro-
priation bill
Talk Of adjournment is increasing.
The close will doubtless come some
time during this week, possibly as late
as Saturday night.

MORGAN
TOWN
AVENUE
DNE oFTHE PRETTIEsT ROAD
WAYS LEADING FROM THE
CITY IS KNOWN BY THE
ABOVE NAME-A DE-
EIGHTFUL DRIVE.

Yesterday in company with Messrs.
L.Hutchinson and G. NJ. Jacobs a
Of the West Virginian
enjoyed a drive over the thoroughfare
named behind the formers handsome
span of bays.
Morgantown avenue is the road
of the river and is better known as
the Morgantown pike. Mention has
been made in these columns of what
Z has been done recently in the way of
improving it, but what may be said
IN print about it will give no one a
thorough understanding Of the great
change that has been wrought. 1t
must be seen to be appreciated. The
road has been graded and paved to
within short distance of Maple
Grove cemetery, and the work has
been well and beautifully done. 1t
would be a shame if it should be con-
t7nued no further this year. By all
means it should be extended to the
Eaentrance gate of the cemetery with
out$delay; and if it could be connect
ed with East Park avenue at the
Google homestead, Fairmont could
boast Of the finest driveway in the
State.
5ssss The Improvements so far made are
"a great benefit to the people of Union
and Winfield districts, and if they
could encourage an extension of the
work especially the building of the
link connecting the two avenues, it
would be more to their convenience
and advantage than anything else
they might do toward getting~an easy
approach to the city,
much or all of the improved
part of 0organtown avenue is in the
First ward, it iS to be congratulated.
1t IS certainly making fine headway
in getting paved streets, and they will
sere long attract attention. Such i'm
provements are sure to make prop
,erty over there more valuable and de-
.Sirable.
The drive yesterday was continued |
20 the end of the paving along the
.Fasrmont Industrial Company's
grounds, opposite the steel mill. This |
is a magnificent road and has greatly
enhanced the value of property on
either side of it. In both going and
coming we passed the home. and an
elegant one II is, 100, OF that widely
known business man and big pro-
moter. Mr.. Levi B. Harr. While Il
busy man, yet Mr.. Harr has taken the
time to- improve and beautify his

There is no lack of pretty ground in
that locality, hence we expect to see
many more such homes out there at
no distant day.

COOPERATION A REMEDY
1t Is the Only Certain Safeguard for the Peo-
pie Asaiast Oppression by Corporations.

Geo. H. Maxwell, the great pro-
moter Of irrigation, recently deliv-
cred an address before the Farm
ers' and Grain Dealers Associa-
tion of Illinois, from which the
following extracts are taken:
am a profound believer in the
capacity of the human race to
work out the high destiny of
which it is capable if its genius is
rightly directed. | am most ex-
treme optimist in my expectations
of what the people of this nation
will eventually accomplish in Sc
curing in fact as we'll as in theory
not only equal rights, but equal
opportunity for all men and the
achievement by all our people of
the highest average standard of
life of which all are capable and
which can be brought within the
reach of all
Unless this is accomplished our
boasted civilization will be but
wave on the great ocean of time,
rising into brief existence, only
to be submerged, as all the civil
izations that have gone before us
have been submerged, beneath
the rottenness and corruption
which has followed inevitably in
the wake of vast accumulation of
wealth, and the gradual absorp-
ton of the land into great estates.
| am not proposing socialism, as
its devotees understand it, or as it
is usually defined and understood,
as remedy.
l am proposing the exact oppo-
site of it.
/ am proposing the very highest
form of individual rights, oppor-
tuuity, activity and development.
Socialism is to dream about
doing things, and to begin at the
wrong end and fall.
Cooperation is to do things,
and to begin at the right end and
succeed.
Cooperation is evolution-not
revolution.
Evolution is the law of God.
Evolution is the natural law
which has controlled the creation
of the earth and all that there is
on it.
1t is the law of the develop
ment of the human race, and we
need only to learn its lessons and
study it as a method for the solu-
ton of every social problem to
save the people of this nation
from the social and political
dangers that confront them to-day.
The delusion that you can pro-
tect producers from such oppres-
sions nv making laws or by elect
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1904-05-28

or putting this political party or
that political party in power, is a
delusion which has long been
maintained by multitude of
people.
But it is only question of time
when those who are misguided by
this delusion will awaken from
their dream, and learn that there
is no help for them, but to help
themselves and do things for
themselves.
And it is in the awakening and
training of giant-a symbolical
embodiment of the abilities and
energies of the people themselves.
which is the hope of this nation
for the future.
You cannot oppress man who
draws the reward of his toll
straight from natures treasure
vaults-gets it from the land itself
land which he owns-land on
which no money lender holds a
mortgage-provided, always, that
that man has learned to cooper
ate with his fellow men of the
same class, to do for themselves
the things which it is beyond the
power of the individual man to
do for himself-the things which
require the combined and coop
erative effort of many men to ac-
complish.
The solution is that wherever
the thing to be done for the ben
eft of such a cmmunity requires
the effort of more than one man,
that those who require to have
the thing done for them, what
ever it may be, shall combine to-
gether and do it for themselves,
provided it is within reach of the
united and cooperative energy
and capital of the aggregated
number of individuals who re-
quire to have the thing done for
them.
In this category are creameries,
laundries, rural telephones, as
sociations for the cooperative pur-
chase of supplies, associations for
the sale or disposition of the pro-
ducts of the soil, and many other
associations which l might men,
ton for mutual economy, mutual
benefit or mutual protection.
In sections where irrigation is
necessary, cooperative canal sys-
TENS and irrigation works come
within this category; and in
many parts of the country where
irrigatio is not now generally
supposed to be necessary, cooper
alive pumping plants might be es-
tablished among farmers for the
irrigation of lands which they
could in that way cultivate more
intensively, and obtain a much
larger yield and profit per acre
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1904-05-28
than by dry farming.

country; but | am not a believer
in the theory that we are ready
to-day for municipal ownership in
all our cities or for the govern
ment ownership of all our rail
roads.
Man is the product of his en-
vironment. Man will be what he
is trained to be. And cooperation
will train men to be honest with
each other and with the public,
because honesty and integrity in
the discharge of obligations to
ones fellow men is in the corner
stone of cooperation.
Without it cooperation is a
house built upon the sands.
With such integrity, co-opertion
is house built upon the eternal
rocks as a foundation.
And so it is that your movement
for the formation of farmers ele-
vators, in order that you may
transact for yourself the business
of selling your own soil products,
is but a single thread in the great
cable of cooperation which will
finally warp our ship of state off
the rocks, and draw it to safe
anchorage.
The profits that you will make
for yourself in the formation of
these cooperative associations,
and their management, is the least
of the reasons which should impel
you onward in the movement.
1t is another law of nature that
strength comes from strenuous
struggle. The strong arm is the
arm that is used. The strong
mind is the mind that thinks.
The strong man is the man who
has developed every fibre of his
physical vigor by use. The strong
races of the earth are those which
have survived oppression and
overcome great obstacles in their
development.
Be not discouraged by any con-
dition that may confront you.
Be not discouraged even by
temporary failure. 1t is the his
tory of all movements that failure
must at times be a part of their
record.
But as the wise saying has it:
Failures are but the pillars of
success"
What others have done, you
can do. If you want successful
illustrations of cooperation among
producers, go to California and
study the workings of the associa-
tions which have been formed
there among the fruit growers for
the marketing of their product.
And the road to their success
was paved with many failures.
At first it seemed as though there
were more failures than successes.
But they persevered. They
were forced to swim or drown.
They had to learn to market their
own products or have their in
dustries destroyed.
And they learned.
And so will you learn, if you
will persevere and be loyal to
your fellows and to your move
ment.
If you want other illustrations
of successful cooperation, go
among the cooperative creameries
of Wisconsin or Michigan, or 60
among the cooperative canal COM
panies of California or Colorado
or Montana.
If you want instances of gigan-
tic success in cooperation, go to

anyone approached Finally, at noon,

attempted to remove him but he fought
