POWERFUL UNITED STATES CANNOT
PROTECT BALLOT OF THE PEOPLE

The New York court of appeals has
handed down its decision in the Hearst
ballot case. The argument is one Of
those evasive documents where the
court claims il has no power under the
election law to recanvass the ballots, or
in other words, do anything in the
interest of justice and honesty. Such
qubbling with words is an insult to the
masses of the people, TO whom the
sacred opportunity of an honest ballot
means freedom. But this government
is not based upon the freedom of all,
but upon the control of the many by
the few. And the last and most i'm
pregnable fortress Of tins ruling class
is the courts. They are prostituted to
every sort of an Interpretation that
will support the control of the masters.
That warning was sent out at the time
Of the adoption of the Constitution by
those who saw that the national con
vention was completely in the hands of
the New England commercial class,
dominated by Alexander Hamilton, the
representative Of the New York bank

HUMAN BRAIN, ELECTRIC BATTERY
SOURCE OF VITAL PHENOMENA

Of the opinion that the electrical cur

strated that electrical force is de.

Of Physicians and Surgeons he argued
that the mystery of gravitation could
only be solved by attributing it to elec.

"the life principle itself is Of electrical

San Francisco, Dee. 15.-Dr. Albert
j. Atkins, of this city, claims to have
proved, by an experiment made on
steer in the stock yards at Butcher
town that brain action is an electrical
phenomenon. His theory has the sup
port of Captain l.. ID. Wildman, of the
United States signal corps, who AS
sisted him in the experiment.
The apparatus used consisted of two
platinum electrodes connected with n
copper wire running to very sensitive
galvanometer. The electrodes were in
serted into two lobes of the brain OF n
living steer. After the first culver
caused by the insertion Of the platinum
points the animal lay quiet, and yet
the needle Of the galvanometer was
deflected four points on the scale and
remained so for nearly six minutes,
Then the animals throat was cut.
Immediately the needle DETECTED nine
teen points in the same direction.
Then the needle gradually returned to
its normal position.

INCREASED COST OF LIVING.

There have been late inquiries into
the relative cost Of living this year and
other years in the immediate past.
Carroll ID. Wright has furnished a
few figures showing that the cost is
not only materially higher than it was
seven or eight years ago, but that it is
also higher than it was last year.
Dun's Commercial agency has also
prepared figures that show the same
thing. Its gigures show that between
the first of May, 1897, and the first of
May, 1904, there has been an increase
of 40 per cent in the average cost of
the necessities of life.
For 1897 the Dun index figures were
1874 and on the first of May, this
year, they were 1O2,2Os. These index
figures cover a wide range, and include
practically every commodity in common
household use.
In view Of these figures it is prob
able that the full dinner pail will not
cut as much figure in the republican
campaign oratory as it did few
years ago.
1t is becoming rather hard for the
workingman to keep the pail full.
He is not getting his full share of the
bosated republican prosperity.
But they have not increased by 40
per cent, or anything like that.
Nor are the conditions for wage earn
ers as good throughout the country to-
day as they were a year ago. Employ
ment is harder 10 get, and the tend
eney Of wages is downward.
Yet the cost of the stuff that the
wage Garner has to buy continues to
increase.
If the country is to be continuously
prospectus men must be generality en-
ployed and at good wages in proportion
to the price of the things that these
wages must be used to buy.
IT doesn't do a man any good to get
wages per cent higher If ii costs him
40 per cent more to live-and in the
case of the great majority of men all
they make goes for living expenses.

Socialism is the most positive, ag-
gressive force in the world today. II
is more: it is the next hope of man
kind and perhaps the sole inheritance

turn out to be an ignis fatuus, a false
light, like so many beacon that has

manity, know not, but sure am ! that
spectacle.
men will give il trial. Socialism is
to be.
There are thousands of socialists who
have never turned page of Karl Marx,
never attended a socialist meeting and
who seem to stand outside the social
istic propaganda. This fact declares
the potency of socialism as an Idea-it
is in the air and men involuntarily i'm
bibe it.
Socialism is the ultimate conclusion
and definition of democracy. As such
it may be STAYED off long time. may
be temporized with, bribed with con
cessions and half-measures but il can
not be effeetually halted, and in the
end il is bound to prevail. We shall
not see that day, but our children 5
children shall surely see il and eele'
brate it.
The power of socialism lies, first of
all, in its purpose to redress the in
equalities of the social state, which are
ever becoming worse, even in n country
of alleged equal opportunities like our
own. This program carries an ire
sistible appeal, not merely to the sub
merged OF downtroden clases, but alsC
to many more fortunate who have ths
ills of society at heart. II is daily
clothing itself with practicality and
convincing by its perfect alignment and
answering advance. The old bugaboC
conception of socialism has been dis
placed in the popular mind. II is ne
longer viewed as an insurreetion OF
idleness and beggary against industry
and wealth; a revolution of the sani
culottes against all decency, govern
ment, prosperity and order; an anar
chistic rising Of the House Of Want
against the House Of Have.
This idea Of socialism no longer holds
with any great body of people. Social
ism has made its greatest gains in Ger
many and France, among the most
thrifty an' industrious people in th'
world. Many Of its leaders and man,
more of it's followers are men Of sub
stance, social position and wealth. II

ers. A tremendous hue and cry was
raised at the time by Thomas Jeffer-
son and his followers.
Not that the Hearst matter, even il
carried to a successful issue, would
have been of any particular moment to
the interests of the working class. But
the demand for the protection of the
ballot is the only possible outlet for
what is called "peaceable solution
of the industrial revolution.

Revolutions can only occur when

evils exist that bear heavily upon

The harvester trust, for its more ex-
pensive machineries, offered the far
mer-purchaser one or two or three or
even four years time, and would take
his notes. These notes, coming due in
the autumn, were expressively called on
the trade, 'One-fall'. 'two-fall', three
fall and 'four-fall' notes. They were
well named, and many farmer has
fallen by them. The interest de-
manded ran from six to ten per cent.
Since the harvester trust could borrow
all the money il wanted from itself at
three and four per cent, this exchange
was not, from trust standpoints, a dis
couraging one. Practically the trust
borrowed farm money for three and
four per cent, and loaned il to the
