know not why. Crime in the form of murder,
mobs, embezzlement, robbery, bribery and false
swearing should become less and less, with our
old notions of education and religious liberty.
The reverse is the fact.
We have form without substance in the midst
of plenty. We believe in home and babies,
aud make life one long struggle for existence.
We circulate literature that eXcites passion
Without love, and leads to marriage without
duty. We whoop up our schools and colleges,
pass truancy laws, but are content with cond-
tlons that render it impossible for some parents
to clothe their children and buy books. We
develop brain and neglect the heat. Our lips
stand for morality snd our actions for immoral
ity. We demand honest men for office, and
elect boodlers. We stand for temperance and
open saloons that promote intempeiance. We
pray for the reign of Christ, and enthrone the
Devil. We have good laws ON the statute
books which fail o. enforcement. We pnnish
men for stealing loaf of bread, but meu who
steal thousands of dollars 60 unpunished We
lie for gain and swear to lies for dollars.
Many of the things set forth have their orr
gin in the intense struggle for existense. Pri-
marily, the saoon.keeper does not open
saloon to make drunkards, but to make liv-
ing. The writers and publishers of trashy
literature must eat to live. The bread thief is
starving. The embezzlers, torgers and bribe-
givers want to be moneyed kings, because
riches is honored and lifts above want. Of all
things of our earthly existence, the cry for
bread stands first. 1t is first in the law of
self-preseryation. 1t is both animal and hu-
man, and, being human, it is divine. Assure
the human family of bread and brain, and the
heart will 60 up with bound, and the earth
will blossom as rose.

ly, there is the level of equal opportunity,
when applied to man. The weakest die when
there is not enough for all in nature. Man is
slain when there is abundance.
That God ordained conditions such we see
in the industrial world to-day is blasphemy.
The captains of industry are not, by any
means, the brainest of people. We must
place above them the author, inventor and ed
ucator We give the captains credit for plan
ming, but deny that the man who plans is
entitled to more credit or reward than the man
who executes. The1e are brainier men in the
employ of the railway magnates than the mag
mates themselves. There are men working in
the factories doing work that the owners of
the factories cannot do. No great industry is
possible without an army of brainy men, but
the owners of the industry claim all the profit
except bare existence for the men who make
the industry possible; and yet, the returns are
so great, from most American industries, that,
if fairly distributed, all would still have abun-
dance, and the captains would still have sur
plus. Morally, the captains OF Industry are
entitled to no more than working capital.
They earn no more. According to nature, there
is no deman for surplus, and according to the
Bible, surplus is forbidden.
God has not aimed for man to fall below
beasts or forests. Rockefeller takes the surplus
of his oil combination, obtained by tricks that
are dark, through the aid of the railroads, and
invests in other properties that yield other sur
pluses. Other captains do the same thing,
and, In the struggle for big surpluses, man is
ground to powder. This is worse than medi-
evalism, and handed down as part of the spirit
of the feudal age. So strong becomes the pas
sion of greed that the capatains resort to meth
ods of seizing wealth that, in honor, courage
or uprghthess, is below highway robbery.
Looking carefully over the field from Lecky's
view, our nation is sadly lacking in the ele-
ments of prosperity.
l have not spoken of crime and divorce.
There is one cause for all that stands in the
way Of prosperous nation. 1t is commercial
ISM. We sometimes know that thing is, but

CATER all, in the last analysis, nearly all
values resolve themselves into the value of
labor.'
1t is claimed that the averge labor of the
average laborpg man, per dictum, is above
two thousand dollars, take the selling price to
the consumer. The labor of the laboring man
is bought tor about All average of three hun
dred dollars The difference between three
hundred and two thousand dollars is the
amount that is absorbed by the parties who
stand between the laboring man, or producer,
and the consumer.
In the last analysis in the laboring world,
labor is behind all values. In the last analysis
in the business or commercial world the labor
er receives not one fourth of the value he has
earned; and, so, the laboring man is a tenant,
and must remain tenaut under present condi
tions; and being tenant, he cannot erect the
ideal home; and, not having the ideal home,
we have not high standard of moral worth
or commercial integrity, and the nation is not
prosperous.
1t is assumed that managers of vast proper
ties are entitled to great rewards. This is
plutocrats' apology. The preachers plea is
that God so ordained. The scientist calls it
natural selection or the survival of the fttest.
Even Roosevelt takes occasion to remark, in
his message to congess, that the capitalist earns
his pay because Of the magnitude of his brain.
These not the Presidents words.
There other views.
Nature and Nature's God seem to proclaim
that man is entitled to no more and no less
than he needs, and this, Notwithstanding there
is so much clatter about "natural selection
There is nothing in the natural world that
seizes more than supplies the needs of 1t exist
ence If one tlee in the forest lives, and the
other dies, it is because there is not enough of
tree food in reach 10 sustain the lives of both
trees. Even the tiger is not wantony destruct-
i've. According to the Bible, God proclaimed
that man should have dominion over all Of His
creatures, and nowhere does God proclaim that
one man should have dominion over another
man, much less his destruction. Undoubted-

OUR Republican friends no longer shy at
Socialism, but they rather like it. The follow.
ing item from the Lawrence World is fair
example: Socialism is growing faster than
we are able to keep up with it. 1t is enough
10 make cne dizzy to see the rapidity with
which this movement is getting under way"
Here's another item from the same paper: "lf
any project ever stated off nnder favorable
auspices, it is he new refinery. The people of
Kansas are a unit against the Standard Oil
Company. They will give the glad hand to
the little David with his refinery sling Fur
ther than this, the legislature has granted ev-
cry possible concession in freight rates"

]. L. BRADY, of the Lawrence World, takes
fall out of State Superintendent Dayhoff as
follows: "A state officer may draw his pay
without having much respect shown for him.
Take, for instance, Dayhoff. He does moi have
any friends He must be man who is coarse
in his work. AT any rate, the members OF the
Legislature are all against him. and do not hes.
itate to express their disapproval of the man
and his methods"

Electric Stages for 5th-aUe. To Be
Elaborate and Speedy.

Electric vehicles it probable. will
shortly supersede the leisurely going horse drawn
stages that have been for long a time dis
tinctive type of transportation 5th-ave. The
rumor that they would be put into commission the

front, with a centre aisle, and the bus will have
a capacity of thirty. The intention will be to ad-
here to the rule that no passengers will be per-
mitted to board bus after the limit of the seat
ing capacity is reached
The motor power of the omnibus will be a
40-horsepower gasolene engine direct connected"
to the electric generator. The weight, when filled
with passengers. will be eight tons. The bus will
be electric lighted. and in winter heated with hot
water from the engine. If the new vehicle ful1ls
