Movement of the Age
Claimed by Socialists

The British government has been making advances
toward socialism in various ways-by adding to the
functions Of the state, by increasing administrative CON
troll over railroads, trade, factories, etc. The last ac,s
of the present conservative government in the session
just ended were to give municipalities power to manage
colonies for the unemployed, and to nationalize the tele-
phone service. For many years the telephone service
was inefficient and inadequate, the result of the individ-
uahst policy of allowing private corporations, after
wasteful competition, to- create a national monopoly.
About twelve years ago, The government, in order to
protect the state monopoly of telegraphs, acquired the
trunk telephone lines. Six years ago it tried further to
appease the discomfort of the public by authorizing com
petftive municipal telephones in the provinces and post
Office opposition in London. There could be but one end
to all such palliatives-state ownership.
We are accustomed now to appeal to the state when
any national danger threatens the commonwealth. Thus
. a few months ago, when an alarm was raised that a Ger
man syndicate was buying the coal fields in South Wales,
the government was called upon to check the enterprise,
and to protect the fuel for the navy by becoming colliery
owner itself.
The proposition that a municipal authority should
feed half-starved school children at the public expense
is now seriously entertained. Two bills were before
parliament last session to create a public authority to
own and manage the port and docks of London. Decrepiti
dividend hunting corporations, by their mismanagement
and neglect, are imperiling the maratime supremacy OF
London, and handicapping the commerce Of the empire.
All parties agree on the r~emedy-public ownership.
The solution of all urgent social problems in Great
Britain calls for state intervention, and the advent of a
liberal government to Office will probably see schemes
in force for retaining waste lands by the state, the
naturalization of canals and other socialistic under
takings. The radicals also advocate, as an alternative
to Mr.. Chamberlain's preferential tariff with the colonies
an imperial steamship service. owned and operated by
the central Recommendations Donald in Socialism in
Practice"

PLAIN ENGLISH

The Optic, the other evening, said: "A New Mexico
paper, whose editor apparently poses as a grammau-
caster, takes the Albuquerque Citizen to task for writing
"stratums" instead of strata Perhaps the editor OF
the Citizen is the only man in the territory who has the
courage based on profound knowledge to use the English
and entirely correct plural of the word stratum" There
are, no doubt, other editors who know very well that
there is scarcely a word of Latin origin that cannot be
pluralized by English rules, but their reverence for their
own and others school days when they learned long
tables OF nouns with foreign purals and the fear that
they shall be thought wrong by those of little learning,
have induced them to retain the Latin forms. 1t is a
good example the Citizen has set. English plurals to
words of foreign deriyations are now used by the best
writer's in preference to the Latin forms, In a few
more years the Latin forms will unquestiOnably be OBJ
solete. 1t is time, we believe, that the, press of the
territory adopted the modern tendency and that those
New Mexico editors who are inclined TO criticize the
Citizen take a lesson in modern English grammar"
The Citizen thanks the Optic for its more than gen
erous defense of this paper from a criticism which had
escaped its notice. Perhaps the critic would have been
satisfied had The Citizen, like certain papers in the
southwest, used strata for the singular and "stratas'
for the plural.

Mr., Page, representing Mckinley county cat the re-
cent meeting of the republican central committee at
Santa Fe) voted for the single statehood resolution al
though the republicans of this county came out emphat-
ically for the jointure. Mr.. Pages vote at the central
committee meeting represents his own sentiments and
not the sentiments Of the majority of the residents OF
Mckinley county. The resolution does not express the
sentiments of the republican party at large in New
Mexico. The people in this county know what the feel
ing is here on the question, they know that it is over
whelmingly for joint statehood, yet by the vote OF the
member Of the central committee It is made to appear
that Mckinley county is for single statehood and
against joint statehood. II is now more imperative for
the republicans of this county to sign the petitions mem
toned in last weeks issue than ever. Put your name
TO one of them now. They go to Washington, and
these signed petitions will have more weight with the

Ten Boys Held for Eavesdropping.

A Spencer, N. c., special to the
Charlotte Observer says: Ten young
men of this place were taken into
custody recently by Esquire w. D..
Pethel, on the charge of trespassing
in and upon hall in which the
Masonic. fraternity was holding a
meeting. The meeting was dis.
turbed and broken up by the young
sters, who are suspected of caves
dropping the Masons while in secret
session. The boys climbed ladder
to garret and crept to a ventilator
in the room, from which the proceed
ings of the lodge could be heard.
The boys were held under the charge
of simple trespass, but, if the more
serious charge of eavesdropping is
pushed the result will be quite diff
ferent, it being crime to interfere
with a Masonic meeting. The young
sters range from fourteen to twenty
years of age and are of some of the
best known families in Spencer.
The members of the Masonic fra.
ternity here are considerably stirred
up over the possibility of some of
their secrets being stolen and the
meeting broke up. The case being
an unusual one, its results will be
watched with interest.

The Dispensary Question.
[Orangeburg Times. d Demoorat.

[Orangeburg Times Democrat.
One of the hottest political cam
paigns South Carolina has ever had
will be fought ont next summer over
the dispensary in the Democratic
primary.
If we lived in county that had
voted out the dispensary, we would
do all we could to enforce prohibi-
tion. 1t is the duty of every citizen
to do what he can to enforce all laws
whether he likes them or not.
No man will be elected to the
Legislature next year whose position
on the dispensary question is not
well defined. All candidates will
have to take stand for or against the
institution. No milk and water man
will be allowed to slip in.
Those newspapers and people who
think that the dispensary is dead are
deluding themselves. We predict
that 1T will be the main question in
the Democratic primary next year,
and it will be red hot one, too.
1t is to be regretted that the peo-
pie do not vote more generally on
the dispensary question. In no
county where an election has been
held has majority of the white
voters voted. The whiskey question
will have to be settled at last in the
Democratic primary, where all the
white people will have a vote.
Marion county has voted out the
dispensary by large majority of
those who voted, but the vote did
not amount to one half of the Demo-
cratic vote in the county. In the
last Democratic primary the vote
was over 5000, while the vote on
the dispensary question was 1,43O.
This leaves about 1900 white voters
in the county who have not expressed
an opinion one way or the other.
They will be heard from in the
democratic primary next summer.

Horny Supervisor Suspended.

The grand jury of Horny county
having found true bill against
John L. Boyd, county supervisor, on
several criminal charges, Gov. Hey
ward yesterday suspended the super
visor from his official duties. Seve-
raj days ago the supervisor sent in
"A s resignation, but the Governor
declined to accept the resignation
until the supervisor could make set
ment of his affairs. Yesterday the
action o. the grand jury was COM
municated to Governor Hayward by
the Solicitor of the fourth circuit,
j. Monroe johnson, and the procla-
nation suspending the official was
promulgated at once.
The charges against Boyd are
very serious indeed, and the clerk
of the county board, q. Fred Stalvey,
is also implicated. There are three
indictments against Boyd and one
against Stalvey. On all three counts
a true bill was rendered by the grand
jury. 1t is claimed that Boyd, with
the assistance of Stalvey, obtained
9by fraudulent means l,439 S3 be-
longing to the county of Horny and
used the same for their personal
ends The State, September 2S.

Cutting o. the DI.pen.ar.

wanted to make the trial have GOV 9
in for il, despite the fact that he
stultitied his declaration by arguing
TO the people of several of these
counties against their purpose to be
rid of the dispensary. Possibly he
will claim that the people really
knew that he wanted them to
vote out the dispensary. Anyway,
whether he or anybody else wanted
them to they have done it. There
is some suspicion that they did just
what they had mind to do for
themselves and according to their
persuasions of what was best for
their own interests. The people of
South Carolina are rather an inde-
pendent sort at times.
The interesting test, it seems to
US, will be not 80 much how the dry
counties fare under the conditions
their people have decreed as how the
dispensary will get along with a
large part of its business cut out.
If this thing keeps up one-half the
counties of the State will soon be off

institution be made to produce a
revenue worth while Charleston

They Must Enforce the Law.

1t seems entirely probable now
that within twelve months the whis-
key traffic will be banished from two
thirds of the territory of the State,
and, so far the people of the re-
Gently made prohibition counties
have exhibited an intense earnest
ness in enforcing the prohibition
laws.
Unless the people are determined
to have prohibition, that is, to en-
force the law against illicit sales with
the diligence and vigilance with
which the Cherokee people, for in
stance, are enforcing it, 1T will he
best that they do not vote out the
dispensaries.
The abolishing of the traffic is in
itself matter Of nc special signiti-
canoe. If the people of any town
and of any county have made up
their minds that liquor shall not be
sold within their borders, liquor will
not be sold to any greatly injurious
or demoralizing extent, but if a
nominal prohibition is introduced,
with nobody at work to make it
effective, the general result will be
disastrous in every way.-News and
