II HINT OF
SOCIALISM
The Little Chickens and the
Big Rooster.
THE HUMAN FAMILY.
A Story the Young People
Will Read-May Put Your
Thinker to Work.

BY p. S. UNDERWOOD. -CHAHER 1.
Once upon a time there was a
chicken yard which was amply
large for for all the chickens that
lived in it and afforded a great
plenty of worms, so that none
went hungry who cared to scratch
for a living. All the yard belong
ed to all the chickens and each
had right to scratch where he
pleased, and all the worms that he
found belonged to him. SO they
were all happy and fat, as
all good chickens ought to be.
But one day a wise rooster be-
gan to study on political economy
rights Of capital, rent profit and
interest-then said to himself,
What a fool I have been to
scratch all this time for a living,
when l can get a living without
work, for l can get other chickens
to work for me by manipulation "
So the next day he said to the
other chickens, Here is a large
and particularly fat and juicy
worm, and as 1 am not hungry you
can have this worm if you will
give me just one little square yard
of this big chicken yard and let
me have it for my very own"
why, of course, you can have
it, you IDIOT" said the others in a
roar of laughter at his folly, what
is one little square yard of our
vast domainl There is plenty left
for the rest of us. Give us our
worm and take your square yard
wherever you choose" !"
well, then, l will take the
spring in the corner of the yard
where we all go to drink"
We'll, you must be crazy.
There are no worms to be found
in the spring"
But he held his tongue until
one OF the chickens becoming
thirsty started for the spring to
get drink. Then he cried i,
Here, you keep away from that
spring. You cannot have any of
thai water. tits mine. | bought
it from you all and you sold it for
the fat worm which l gave you in
exchange for it, It is mine as the
reward of abstinence"
Then they all began to cackle
and said they did not contemplate
such nonsense and would take the
water anyway But the rooster
read to them of his Political
Economy" and showed them how
they would encroach on his vested
rights if they drank water without
his permission. They argued aud
cackled until they were all so
thirsty they could stand it no
longer. Then the rooster said,
Come, now, I'll tell You what
Ill do. I'll sell you a drink
around for one more square yard
of the chicken yard. OF course,
you will not miss it out of your
vast domain.
They were dying of thirst and
could argue no longer. so they
were compelled to accept his offer
ALI had a good drink aud the
rooster owned" another squari
yard of their land. It was not Sc
many days before he owned the
whole chicken yard Then he
!. said to himself, Abstinence
pays. But to the other chickens
he said. where are you going tC
live uowin
) Why, in the yard, Of course,
. they said.
But this is my yard. ! boughI

Why Not Bring 1t to Mexico,

come by way of Mexico. The
Santa Fe Record last week printed
the following in reference to the
matter:
The new Railroad is coming.
While we do not hear the roar of
wheels or see the smoke, yet we
are getting ready to break the turf.
| am happy to know l am working
among a large hearted, generous
people, who are looking TO the gen.
eral good of the community. We
are not caring particular where
our new line starts from just SOW
can get in and out of Santa Fe.
We want a road from Santa Feto
some other road. We still claim,
however, that from Cen tralia to
Perry via Santa Fe is the most
practical route and a good road
bed. If Moberly is better start
ing place then let us go there, but
my suggestion of Centralia is best
from the fact that we can get the
same service there that we can at
Moberly, and the line of motor
road will not be more than half as
long for us to build. We can get
direct connection to Kansas City
over the G. 6 A. and over the Wa
bash, then the same to Mexico,
st. Louis, Jefferson City and Co.
lumbia, then to Chillicothe, st.
Joseph, Macon City and all south
western and northwestern as well
as northeastern aud southeastern
points.
We are more than pleased at the
kind words we are getting from
our brother editors. Read espec-
tally what the Mercury and APP
peal says. They are wide awake
men whose papers have large
circulation, also have the Mexico
Message, Perry Enterprise and
the Centralia Guard. We trust
that the last three especially will
wake up still more interest in this
line of road.
AT the citizens meeting here
Monday it was thought best
to put off our rally until
July 10Th. This will give
US more time for business.
The invitation committee in
vites all the editors of the county
and adjoining counties, together
with all railroad men, or men in
terested in the proposed line, to
come with speeches and papers
to read. Let everybody throw all
the fire and zeal they can throw
into it, and we want Rowena, Mo-
limo and Long Branch and other
points to wake up, write US arti-
cles for publication, make sugges-
tions and hold rallies, form com,
panies, and so on.
The following is the minutes OF
our citizens meeting held at San
ia Fe Monday.

MOTHER . AND CHILD.

Let the mother take Scott's Emulsion for the two; it never fails to benefit them both. One can eat for two, but nour- ishing two is a different thing. It calls for a de gree of internal strength that the average woman lacks. People of luxury are not very strong by habit; overworked people are weak Tn some func- tions from exhaustion or their surroundings. Scott's Emulsion can be depend cd upon to overcome such conditions. It is a won derful food for a mother and child.

fiumorlng the Ladies

Last Friday the Rhode Island senate passed a bill granting to the women or that state the privilege of voting at presidential elections.
 This does not mean that the cause of woman suffrage has triumphed in Rhode Island, nor even that the upper house of the Rhode Island legislature is in favor of woman suffrage. The bill has not been passed by the lower bousa and the probabilities are that it never will be passed or even voted upon. Indeed, it is openly asserted that the senate would not have passed the bill if it had believed that there was the least chance that it would be passed by the lower house and become a law. The senators saw and seized the opportunity to please those of their constituents who favor woman suff- rage. without really doing anything in . their behalf Next year. probably. the lower house will be permitted to pass the bill, while the senate will not be able to find the time to consider it be- fore the end of the session.
 This is a common legislative trick copied by the state legislatures from the national congress, which invented and not infrequently practices this sort of juggling with legisla- tion. Its object is to "hu- nor" the people. to deny their demands for certain legislation with out openly defying them, to do sneak ingly what the legislature has not the courage to do openly. It is a childish and cowardly trick not likely to in crease the respect of the people for the tricksters. It is a little odd that there is seldom found in any legisla- ture a member who Is man enough co stand up and denounce squarely this silly dishonesty-to point out to his colleagues that they were elcted to represent the people and not to swim dle them. In the earlier days of equal suffrage agitation in Arizona the wo- men were encouraged to bring in em- inent suffragists to labor with doubt : ful members. They were led to believe that there was a strong suffrage sen timent, latent but still there. It only needed awakening. The women tried biennially to rouse it from it's slum Der and they always succeeded in do- ing so in one house but never in both. Members regarded all this as a joke though the women were in deadly earnest But the twenty -second legis- lature dealt honestly with them though not kindly. Since then there has been little waste of fruitless effort in the legislatures of this territory.
