BRYAN AND SOCIALISM.

The socialists OF Vermont met in Bel
lows Falls on Saturday and elected a
State ticket on a socialist declaration of
PRINCIPLES, and this event. coming so soon
after William J. Bryan's recent discus
sion Of socialism,, has an interest broader
than our State. The Vermont socialists
d~enounce the private ownership of the
natural and social opportunities. which
results In the division Of the people into
CAPITALISTS and laborers. They warn the
working class against the seductive and
alluring promises Of he dying middle
class as they claim the small merchants
and manufacturers as nearly all 'popu-
lar" agitation is in their interests and is
a fruitful e%ndeavor TO perpetuate theii
existence. The Vermont socialists would
national ownership of the railroads. tele-
graphs, telephones and express companie,
granting every wag worker over 60 who
has earned less than $1,000 annually and
been n citizen l6 years "A pension; would
abolish the national Senate: make 1t i'm
possible for any city 10 give away. sell OF
lease public franchises; give cities the
right to erect public slaughter houses
and furnish free school books and school
utensils,
In this connection it is interesting to
note what Mr.. Bryan has to say about
socialism. He says that since leavnR
home he has tried to distinguish between
democracy and what can properly bt
called socialism. He says that democracy
recognizes socialism as legitimate and
tries to protect the competitive principle
from attack. Socialism sees competition
as an evil to bseliminatcd by public own
ership and operation of all means OF pro-
duction and Distribution. Mr.. Bryan As.
serts while this distinction between de-
mocracy and socialism should not be over
looked 1.-The democratic platform must be

Montpelier, June 19,-Humane Agent
John Fuller of Burlington dropped into

there was something doing.
The first thing to attract the atten-

horses driven by william Gordon of
Worcester, Both animals were suffer
ing from badly CALLED shoulders. Mr.,
Fuller old Mr.. Gordon to take his
horses home and cav them in the
barn until their shoulders were healed.
MIR. Gordon's reply to the officer re-
suited in his arrest on the spot, AT the
police station he was very humble and
willing to promise anything. Gordon
was finally released from custody on
promise ia turn his horses out to pas
ture. City Grand Juror Gates Will see
that this promise is kept.
Before the day was over Mr.. Fuller
had ordered the owners of five other
horses to take them off the street and
turn them out to pasture until they
were able to work. The owners pro-
msed to obey the humane officer.
