safe harbor for the small craft neces-
sary to convey the soldiers and the
exposition visitors from the grounds
to the feet.
The government will not undertake to
send an engineering corps there to take
soundings, but requires the exposition
company to provide plans for the piers,
with towers at the ocean end. 1t is in
tended If practicable to utilize the
space In one tower for a working ex-
hibit Of the lighthouse service and to
install In the opposite tower wireless
telegraph service Of like utility. Con-
Meeting the two towers will be a single
high span arch, which will be emblem

world which the colonists reached 300
years ago. The harbor thus inclosed
will be dredged to depth sufficient to
accommodate excursion boats Of ten
feet draft. The exposition company
obligates itself to operate and manage
this harbor of refuge and illuminate it
as well entirely at its own expense.
The use of the harbor free of any cost
is to be accorded to craft attached to

Nothing but Radical Reform
Can Keep Republicans
in Power.

In recent interview in Washing
ton, former United States Senator
VIM. E Chandler said:
The adoption by the Republican
party OF sweeping policy of reform
is the only thing that can keep
Bryan out of the presidency, and even
en- a radical reform platform Sc
riously question that the Republi-
cans will be able to compass the Ne
braskan's defeat.
Every intelligent Republican knows
that the continued ascendancy OF the
party in the congressional elections
of 1906 and the presidential election
of 1908 depends upon the question
whether there can be carried out suffi-
cient reform in the party to lead the
voters to stand by 1t.
Reform Republicanism may keep
the party in power; rigid stand-pat
Republicanism will put it out OF
power, and William J. Bryan will be
the next president. The saving re-
form in Republican methods can not
be sham reform. The revelations
of the political contributions of 1886.
1900 and 1904 from insurance com.
panies, banks and railroads have
aroused q demand for changed
methods which can not be SO salts
factory as to save the party without
radical movements which convince
the people that the Republican lead
ers are sincere and earnest re-
formers.
Just how far the republican party
will go in its desire to be saved is
InTch more of conjecture than what
it will do after it again secures lease
of power. Thoughtful men realize
that, once assured of a four years
term of Office, the republican leaders
will find little to interest them in the
popular demand for reform. That has
been the republican party's record
0nd will continue to be.
But previous to the election, no one
knows to what lengths the radical
element of the party may be able to
carry it. Already the corporation fa:-
ton has been whipped to a standst:!l
in South Dakota, Iowa, and Michi-
gan, and the chances are that the
Roosevelt wing will continue to coll
troll in most of the other states.
If therefore the only way the repnS-
licans can remain in power is by
stealing democratic thunder and by
adopting reform republicanism," it
is evident that thew have started cut
to do that very thing

they buy be made under conditions
wholesome to both the purchaser and
the producer.
II the women who spend patronize
stores where women who work receive
VIGOROUSLY low wages, are not paid
for overtime work, are given no vaca-

Many philanthropic women who have

precaution to spend their money in
such way as to create favorable con.

girls vacations with pay. If there were
no cruelty enacted toward animals and

would be no work for the Legal Aid

many charitable institutions; we should
not feel that they are a commendable
source Of pride.-New York Herald.

FIGHTING PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.


There is a little paper published in
Kew York under the title. Concerning
Municipal Ownership" At first glance
one gets the idea that it is favora BILE
TO that idea, but the contents prove to
be the other way
Very few people would subscribe for
such publication. but the way it gets
its circulation and the manner in
which the publishers are paid is dis
closed in letter inadvertently sent to
the superintendent of the waterworks
at Fort Scott.
The publishers of the paper evident
" supposed the Fort Scott plant was
owned by private persons instead of
by the municipality. and that the own
ers were afraid of the municipal own
ership microbe." After addressing the
superintendent Of the water plant they
say;
We are sending you a copy of the
september issue of our bulletin Con
corning Municipal Ownership believ-
ing that you will be specially Interested
IN the article on page ia on The
Yonkers Waterworks.
"A l5-page pamphlet containing q
full account of this situation will be
sent you without charge upon your
request accompanying your subscrip-
ton Tor our bulletin. It-mfght paw for
you to circulate this pamphlet gener-
ously in your city.
Sixty per cent of the cities Of the
United States that have a population
exceeding 5000 have municipal water
works Your business may not be
threatened just now but an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure
and $500 will put the bulletin in the
hands OF 100 men in your city for
year, or send one issue to 1000 Of your
citizens
That's pretty cheap insurance. but
Il good, for the bulletin gives the
Iacts that make a man immune to the
municipal ownership naicrobe
If $500 is too much for you at this
time, better send Csc for your own
subscription, so as to keep in touch
With the campaign of education this
bureau is carrying on. Some day
you may need our help; we need your
encouragement now
This tip is also given in a postscript:
p. S.-We have recently received
an order from one company for 857
subscriptions Subscription sins are fo
be inserted in the first issue sent, and
any individual subscriptions resulting
are deducted from our bill to the com
pany We shall be pleased to make the
same arrangements with you"
So If you happen to find yourself
the recipient of a journal attempting
to SOW the seeds of distrust in munich
pal ownership, you win know that some
benevolent corporation desires to keep
you, as a member Of that body called
the public" from going into business
for yourself in certain lines. and is
therefore telling you what a poor bust
ness 1t IS, although the benevolent cor
poration Is anxious to continue In it.

INTERVENTION.

me influence which this government
may exert over the little Latin-Ameri-
can republics to the south is shown by
the alacrity with which the Cubans got
busy to make peace with themselves as
soon as they heard that Uncle sam pro-
posed to take a hand in the affairs of
their island
Now there is a good prospect that
peace viii be established and the Cuban
government preserved with no further
activity on our part. The simple dec
laration on the part Of the United States
that peace ought to be brought about in
the island and the destruction of prop
erty cease, together with the announce
ment that some of our officials would
visit the island to investigate conditions,
was sufficient to make both the Cuban
government and the revoIutionists anx-
ious to stop hostiities.
The character and education of the
Cuban people are such as to make them
susceptible &c revolutionary influences.
They are accustomed to rebellion
against the powers that be. and they
hold such an affair lightly. With
minority party almost as great as the
majority. it is easy for the minority to
believe itself wronged and kept out of
its rights and they appeal to arms. They
do not regard it as treason but simply
as stand for their rights.
In the present instance It became evil
dent that President Palma and his gov
eminent could not suppress the revolu-
ton, and that the destruction Of proper
ty might continue indefinitely to the
great injury of the Cuban people as a
whole Under the Plat amendment it
became the duty of the United States to
intervene. Hence the action of President
Roosevelt in advising peace and in send
ing Secretary Taft and Assistant Seere-
tary Bacon to Cuba to personally in
vestigate the claims of both Sides And
In order to prove that Cuba is capable
of self-government, both sides are now
anxious to come to an understanding
before the arrival of the Taft party.

Continuing the address says:

1t, and that ends the matter.
What fairer proposition could be pre-

promise any change for you?
Are you getting as much as $4,000 a
year under their management of public
affairs2 If you are getting more If
you are sure of always getting more, If
you are sure each of your children will
get more. then of course Socialism will
have no charms for you This is the
Socialist position in a nutshell
This would be very pleasant for those
of US who do not get $4,000 a year. but
there is another side to 1t. If we were
all getting $1,000 a year. no matter what
our occupation or work, the other fellow
would soon begin to shirk and leave
more work for US to do. OF course we
wouldn't shirk. Oh. no! It would al
ways be somebody else. But somebody
would shirl, the production of wealth
would fall off, and soon there wouldn't
be enough punches of s., 900 each to go
around.
Then again some of US who are not
getting $1,000 a year now may hope to do
even better than that sometime. If the
incentive of getting larger returns for
our labor were removed we would not
continue to improve in our work. We
would likely do less instead of more.
stagnation would follow, and the coun-
try would necessarily drop back to the
wage system.
Socialism probably has its good points,
and our present industrial system I'M
doubtedly has it's faults-among them
the accumulation of tremendous unearn-
ed fortunes-but the propositions sub
mitted by the Clay county Socialists
would prove a curse and not a blessing
to humanity.
