Socialists in Local Politics

Tic large number Of announced
socialists in this county are a great
surprise, not to say an annoyance
TO the old time leaders Of the dem
ocratic party. Their present
strength is not known, but it has
been announced by those in a pos
ition to know that there are not
less than one hundred in the Cliff
ton precinct, and it is also said
that they have majority in the
Stafford precinct. The Err is in
formed that they expect to cut
quite dash in county politics.
They are gaining strength quite
rapidly. Every few weeks some
travelling representative lectures
in Clifton, and the meetings are al
ways we'll attended. The Era is
not very well posted as to what
Socialism really is, or what its
aims are, however, it implies a
changed attitude in the economic
life Of the people towards proper
ty, and that the worlds work will
be dominated by public property.
Accumulated property is divided
into productive goods and enjoy
ment goods. A further distinction
is between accumulated wealth and
income wealth. Socialism, as un-
dcrstood today, means that the in
struments of production shall be,
in the main, public or collective
property. Although conservative
socialists do not insist upon public
ownership of all land and capital,
they consider that the chief kinds
of capital and the greater part of
the land should be collective land.
They wish each to have his income
and to have ii under his control
and that it may be increased, but
it must be the result of personal
effort. The socials desire to abol-
ish what they describe as personal
ly unearned income. They demand
the collective management Of each
industry, in order to secure perfect
system, harmony and unity of Of
fort. They demand, also, the dis
tribution Of income by common
authority. Socialism has made
wonderful growth in the United
States during the past few years.

their motive. They themselves admit IN

The Loss From Bad Roads In the
Southern states.


Southern states.
The farmers of the southern states
lose 5000, 100000 annually from bad
roads, and farming lands in many sec
tions bring SIS an acre where good
roads would raise the price to $780, says
a writer in the Sunny South. Aside
from mere statistics you have only to
recall some of the roads you have rid
den on either by day or by night or
have been compelled to haul your prod
uce over and the tedium and discom-
fort of the process to realize not only
the necessity, but also the luxury, of a
smooth, hard driveway. But TO give n
concrete illustration take conditions in
Virginia, which would correspond es-
Bentially with those Of other southern
states

ucts in that state is from SG0,000.C0o e

A speaker at the national good roads

mize time, labor and money; they save
worry and waste; they add TO social
and religious progress; they increase
the value of property; they permit the
transportation of farm products dur
ing bad weather when no work can be
done on the farm; they save the wear
and tear on horses. drivers, harness
and wagons.
Good roads are the avenues of prog

The Cash Value of Life,

A couple of New England boys
had the courage and good sense
a few nights ago to flag an express
train which was to fall into %.

The passengers manifested their
gratitude by making up a purse of
SIT, sum which indicates an ave-
rage self valuation of IL cents each
surely by no means an over-esti
mate Of the worth Of even an in
different specimen of the American
citizen.
Some caustic criticism of the
niggardiness of these passengers is
noted, but possibly it is misplaced.
The assumption that they ought
to have given more is an assump-
tion that the critics are better fit
ted to determine the obligation Of
the passengers than the passengers
were fitted to determine for them.

sumption to make, Besides, so far
as actual recompense is concerned
eight dollars and half per boy is
fairly good pay, and so far as the
prevention of suffering and death
is concerned, all the wealth of the
passengers would hardly balance
the account.
So that the reduction of reward
to o mathematical basis is not so
simple a problem after all. All

II is high time that the blows
which Democrats have been de-
livering upon one another should
fall upon the Republican party.
Surely there is enough in that or.
ganization and its presidential
candidate to rouse in Democrats,
radical and conservative alike, the
spirit Of enthusiastic opposition.
Judge Parker is a man of digni-

Of acceptance and breaks the
silence he so long has maintained
on all questions save the gold

in such II way as to rally to his

bulwark against Democratic attacks
on the personal honor and integrity
of President Roosevelt is one Of the
humorous incidents Of the campaign.
No Democrat has yet had the temer-

likely to make the attempt while the
president is awake. Parker evidently
has gone into the circus business.

Signs increase that the Democratic
leaders are determined to force the
tariff issue to the front In the presi-
dental campaign. While Republicans
will welcome the discussion OF this
question, we'll knowing that it is sure
to add many thousands of votes to
their majorities, they cannot but re-
greet the selection of the tariff as the
main issue, because of the unfortunate
influence it will have upon the bust
ness interests of the country. r

1T is we'll remembered what hap
pened ten years ago, when, as aPresi-
dent Roosevelt puts 1t, .'the last, at
tempt was made by means of lower
ing the tariff to prevent such people
from prospecting too much" The at
tempt was entirely successful. The
tariff law Of that year was among the
causes which in that year and for
some time afterwurd i. effectually
prevented anybody from prospecting at
all. Undoubtedly it would be possible
at the present time to prevent any

The people of the United States
will not soon court again the destruc-

for one generation. There will be a
tremendous vote against tariff legisla-

The confidence of the country may
stand even throughout tariff revision

deal to raise that issue In the manner
contemplated. They, however, have
everything to gain and nothing to
lose. They must have something
to stand upon, and complete failure
inevery other attack made upon

them upon the tariff as standing out

BACKED BY THE TRUSTS
The Democratic Cash box Ii Receiviua
Liberal Contributions.

Liberal Contributions,
The trusts long ago recognized
President Roosevelt as a dangerous foe
to illegal monopolies. If the money
power of the United States could have
defeated Roosevelt's nomination at
the Chicago convention it would have
fastened to do so. 1t saw, in time,
that the people had set their hearts
upon Rooseyelt's candidacy, and,
leaving the Republicans out of the
case, they turned to the Democrats.
In Judge Parker they found, appar.
emily, man of that cast of mind
which tolerates questionable behavior,
procrastinates decisive action, and
leans to precedent so strongly as to
balk advance-the very man for the
giant trust to play with.
When Judge Parker's speech Of &C.
ceptance was read, his remarks upon
the trusts were anxiously scaned by
the people. Disappointment came to
those who were not already awake to
the actual nature of David Bennett
Hills manipulations in connection
with the nomination of Parker.
"Wait till we see where the trusts
put their money! said one wavering
Independent, not yet willing to give
up the hope Of Democratic fight up
on illegal trusts.
There was not long to wait. 1t is q
matter of public knowledge that the
great trusts are pouring money into
the Democratic campaign treasury.
The tobacco trust, the sugar trust, the
oil trust, the New York transportation
trust, all are known to have contribut-
ed literally to Belmont's treasure
chest. These combinations Of capital
well know how and when to be liberal.
They see in the election of Parker
their only protection against a straight.
forward, courageous chief executive
who will enforce the United States
laws for the control of combinations
Of capital and illegal monopolies.
The trusts do not want Roosevelt
for president. The great combinations
of capital have delicate susceptible.
ities when it comes to their immediate
or remote prospects for gain. But
money cannot carry the presidential
election. The certainty that the trusts
are working for Parker will only send
hundreds of thousands of voters to
the polls to cast their ballots for
Roosevelt Their own employees will
vote against the candidate of the
trusts. Judge Parker's shutting sen.
fences about a nonresident common
law" and its possible dealings with
the trusts gave the American people
their first Gar" as to the position OF
the Democratic nominee on this ques.
ton. The heavy contributions of the
trusts to the Parker campaign fund
have completed the awakening as to
the attitude of the great combinations
and monopolies in this presidential
election.
Parker may we'll say, in this con
nection, as we'll as in the contemplation
of most of his close associates, ''save
me from nv friendsi''
