GROWTH OF SOCIALISM.
No One Seems Surprised and Everybody
 Is Calm.

Springfield Republican, (Ind.)
 Socialism is often compared with
 Populism, which had such a run ten
 years ago. The striking difference be-
 that while Populism was the result of
 hard times, Socialism Is the result of
 good times. At any rate, mere glance
 at the facts shows that, while Popu-
 homie diversity in this country, the
 growth of Socialism has been coinci-
 dent with "the greatest period of pros
 pCrity the country has ever known, to
 quote the Republican orators. This
 point may be contemplated to advant- age by all students of the times. Pop
 ulism, as a political force, practically
 disappeared in the West, where 1t was
 strongest, as soon as the great boom In production and business began in
 1ss7-ss. By 1900 MT Peffer, of Kansas,
 had become a Republican again. But Socialism has increased It's vote by 600,- 900 in the fiat" years running from
 1897 to 1904, and prosperity seems to have no effect u0on it whatever, except
 to make 1t grow.
 Another striking difference between the old Populism and the Socialism of
 today Is that, while Populism recruit
 ed its support mainly among SIe small agricultural producers, Socialism re- cruits its strength mainly among the wage-earning class of the towns and cities. Populism was essentially rural anu dBTdfldus WTltN SOClhilBlH lS essen tIally urban and industrial. Thus the
 extreme radical movement in America has at last come to resemble more closely the radical movement in Ger many. German Socialism is a wage earners' movement, with but slight support among the farmers of the em- l pire. German farmers and land own CTS, like our Popullsts, were strongly in favor of bimetallism, while the Ger
 man Socialists had no interest in it The same Is now true here. The free silver movement, which the Populists and granger Democrats pushed so strongly, does not interest MT. Debs and his followers in the slightest de- gree. And this is natural. The small farmer is not a wage-earner in the or- dinary sense; the Socialist usually is. Inasmuch as Socialism attacks the
 wage system and private capitalism, the farmer has less interest in 1t than the average wage -earner, who is at the mercy of the employer unless he is pro- tected by the trade union.
 In accounting for the growth of So-
 cialism in the United States, one may pursue various lines of speculation. all l Nearly every one has an idea why this l sort of thing is taking place. And no | one seems to be much surprised. Even
 MT. Parry, the arch-foe of labor union-
 ism, says he expected it. Perhaps | there Is significance in the fact that
 no one Is amazed or shocked. The very calmness with which the country views l this development would have been in- ! credible fifteen years ago; and while l there is hope the republic will survive. These problems will be solved.

 All sorts of predictions have been made commenting upon our future status as supreme producer of raw cotton Lack of suhicient labor to pick much enlarged crop seems to be generally held as the chief drawback to our indefinitely maintaining our present position of acknowledged pre- eminence.

 The Labor Problem.
 It must be conceded that the cotton gr wing States ara confronted by sa- rious labor problem, and that uu llI some solution is found the resources with which nature has endowed the American cotton belt cannot be even approximately applied to the pFoduc- ti0n of cotton.

tions would make difference of more than 100000 votes between President and Governor. yet that was just what was done. and the result is but another evidence of the uncertainty of cleo. tions
 The truth seems to be that voters are less and less disposed to suffer themselves bound down by strict party obligations, and this Is true of all parts of the Union. It was 60 in New Eng land. in the West and in the South. Men are apparently becoming more in- dependent in their politics. and more inclined to let local or personal con- alterations control their actions. In no other way can we understand how one Republican candidate in State shatild get large majority and Democrat. ic candidate for another office get elected. Voters are uncertain, for a fact.

IN Wednesday meeting was

}Ader the matter of Incorporating
TGoodall The reasons for mcorpor-
alton were stated to be danger to
children from fast driving Of auto
mobiles, and to ensure proper sani-
tary laws. Now, this may be needed
for the thickly Inhabited parts along
the trail from the middle bride, and
for the beach cottages adjacent But
they want to extend the limits so as
to include all the property between
river and ocean as far south as Mrs
Bottefuhr's land The owners of
property south Of Mr.. Goodall s
strongly object to incorporation, and
look upon IT as very unnelghborly
act that they should be forced in
against their will, as neither of the
reasons stated for incorporation APP
ply to them 1t would be very easy
for those who are moving in this
matter TO apply to be included within
the corporate limits of Seabreeze,
and to extend these limits south as
far as Mr.. Goolalls property At
the same time 1t must be remem-
bered that the very men who now
wish for incorporation kicked
against it when 1t was proposed at
first to include them within the
limits of Seabreeze. Why have they
thus changed their minds? Is it the
love Of office? FMRrIAY.

warming

The way the Hon. r. w. Davis
disposes of that big land bugaboo
that Broward is trying to use against
him must be disheartening to the
Browardites, says the Huntsville
Star.
As matter of course whenever
these lands come out of present liti-
cation they will be under the man
agement of the board of trustees of
the internal improvement fund. The
Governor, Attorney General, Comp
troller, Treasurer and Commissioner
of Agriculture compose that board
and their management is under the
control of the Legislature; so how in
the name Of common sense could Mr..
Davis, as Governor, turn these lands
over 70 the railroads, even if he
wanted to, when he could be only
one member on board of five trus-
tees? g.
Does not Captain Broward make
a direct attack on the members of
the board Of internal improvement
fund by making his statement I'M
plicating the Governor?
Has not Captain Broward comph-
mented the above named State Off
Gals in his campaign addresses, and
how can he explain his praise of four
members of the board and condem-
nation of one member?
The whole allegation is mere pc
litical claptrap. 1t is intended tc
catch the minds of some voters who
are not conversant with the above
facts, and it must fall fat when the
people properly understand the
question. Captain Broward should
realize that he is doing Mr.. Davis a
great injustice in making such 4
charge. We warn Democrats agains,
being deceived by such unfair meth.

VOTERS, BEWARE !
TIMELY WARNING OF DISGRACE.
FUl. CAMPAIGN TACTICS.
1aisissro To Bs Attacked 1t the Last
M00oot, Too Late For DENIAL,
By False Accusations.

The Democratic voters Of every
precinct in the State are hereby
warned that the two principal oppo-
nents of Senator Taliaferro, Messrs
Stockton and Jennings, who now, rs
heretofore, are working as a unit
against him, made desperate by the
sense of impending defeat, are pre-
pairing TO deliver final blow at him,
at the last moment, when it will be
too late to repel it, and with which
they hope to turn the sentiment of
the people against him under CIR
cumstances which will preclude any
possibility Of answer or defense
against such an unfair and dishon-
orable attack. Voters in all sections
of the State will probably be deluged
with printed matter from the source
indicated, containing all manner of
false and traculent accusations
which the authors dared not bring
out earlier in the campaign because
of the certainty with which they
would be met, denied and disproved
The information upon which this
warming is based is deemed trust
worthy, and the only means of
thwarting the threatened assault is
to caution the friends of Senator
Taliaferro throughout the State to
pay not the slightest attention to
brought into the contest in
80 stealthy and cowardly a manner.
Senator Taliarerro and his support
ers have ever carefully refrained
from the use of such disputable and
disgraceful methods of warfare, and
they profoundly regret the necessity
which impels the publication of this
warning.
