SOCIALISM NOT THE MODE

Nermillion, S. d., May 17.-Dr. Car
rett Droppers. president of the state un-
iversty, i'll a letter to the New York
World, i'll reply to "a query sent him by
that paper expresses his views on gov
ernment ownership, announcing his be-
public utilities by the government. The
presidents letter is as follows:
ITO the Editor of the World: My
own opinion is that the government
should own and if necessary operate ;,ll
public utilities. And in further explain
alton of this point l believe that the
government has the right to take pos
session of whatever economic utilities
it creates i'm society, as individuals have
the right to take possession of the uti-
tiles they create in society. The great
source of civic corruption today arises
from mixing up of private and pubic
functions, and when the distinction is
properly made between these two 1
think our civic corruption and many
OF our present labor disturbances will
in large degree cease. Nor do l be-
lieve that the carrying out of the pro-
gram of separating public from private
interests is extremely difficult. 1t re-
quires only moderate amount of i'm
telligence, honesty and public spirit.
This is not an answer to the SPECIFIC
question asked by the World. 1t, how
ever leads to an answer.
SOCIALISM arises IN a measure lEo1il
an intense dissatisfaction with the PRES
emt economic order. John Stuart Mill
says somewhere that the advantage of
the extremist is that his position
makes every other program look moder-
ate, and therefore the socialists are per-
haps doing Il real service in behalf of
a real reform program. Anything less
than socialism we will welcome rs
solution. 1t may be possible that the
socialistic program will some day hs
realized. 1t appears to me. however.
very far off. and in the meantime it
seems much better to work for some
thing that is more attainable within a
generation. When we have reached nu-
nicipal ownership. for instance, we shall
see our way more clearly possibly to
further changes. do not believe that
our political and economic speculation
should so far outrun our practice rs TO
leave no points of contact between the
two.
II prefer a program which is ahead
OF existing conditions and which points
out the way to d better one. When we
have reached the next stop we shall oe
in u position to advance again, but With
much clearer vision for having solved
one problem we'll.

WAS 1T a QUAKE?
rhe People Of Pierre Arc Undecided ol
the Question.

Pierre. s. d.. May 1.-THE people of
this city are trying hard to decide
among themselves whether or not they
felt a real earthquake shock last week.
Some claim to have felt it. While otl-
ers in the same vicinity failed to note
amy such symptoms. Claims are made
that the motion was sufficient to jar
buildings and start pictures to swing
ing. While others in the same buid-
ing failed to notice it. AT Fort Pierre
the disturbance is said to have been
about the same as that of a heavy load
ed truck jolting off a crossing near the
building in which the observer WAS at
the time. but as there has been a great
deal of heavy freighting of railroad ma
terial it was attributed to that cause
until they found that no freighting
trucks were in operation at that tins.
Those who failed to notice it say it was
the work of imagination called up by
the recent San Francisco disaster, but
Mhcrs are certain they felt it.
