ualism undiluted and unopposed
is anarchy.
Without individualism social
ism would become the state
slavery against which Secretary
Bonaparte utters such an ener-
getic protest.
But even Secretary Bonaparte,
in opposing socialism declares
himself an individuallst, and in
opposing anarchy, he makes him
self socialist.
1t is only when one clearly un-
derstands and appreciates this
primary relation of these two
fundamental and opposing forces
of socialism and individualism,
that he is in a position to under
stand and to discuss intelligently
the social problems of the day.
Secretary Bonaparte stands be-
fore the American people today
as the head of one of the great
socialistic departments of our
government, the United States
navy. Nothing but socialism
could have created that navy;
nothing but socialism could main
tain it. 1t is the united effort
and authority of the people di-
rected for the common good.
Without socialism, the limit of
shipbuilding would be the craft
that individual man could con-
struct by his individual effort,
and its power for offense or de-
fense would be exercised for the
individual alone.
Every department of the gov
ernment is socialistic. the post
office, the army, the treasury, the
departments of agriculture and OF
the interior, and the department
of law most of all, for it is created
solely and expressly for the Pur-
pose of carrying into effect those
social compacts that have been
established by the people, jointly,
for the common good.
And what could be more ir-
rational, on the part OF one who
aspires to be leader Of thought
for the nation, than to fail, as did
Secretary Bonaparte, to distin-
guish in a public address upon
"Anarchism and its remedy" be-
tween the extreme socialism of
an exclusive, socialistic state
from which all individualism is
banished, and the modified social
ism that permeates and is neces-
sary to all civilized society.
For if Secretary Bonaparte is
not a socialist, he is an indi-
vidualist. If he is all individual
ist and none socialist, he is an
anarchist. If he is none indi-
vidualIst he is all socialist. And
if he is neither socialist nor in
dividualist, he is nothing.
And how utterly absurd it is in
society which is built and con-
tinually modified by the work
ings of these two opposing prin-
ciples of socialism and individual
ism to attempt to draw fixed lines

Socialism, Anarchy and Secretary Bona.

parte.
1t is unfortunate that man of
such prominence in national at
fairs, as the present secretary OF
the navy, should have contributed
an so public a manner, to the con-
fusion now existing in the public
mind concerning matters of high
est Importance to the people of
the United States.
Secretary Bonaparte's address
at the Allegheny Chatauqua last
Sunday evening was neither logi-
cal, we'll tempered nor clear. 1t
was an example of careless analy-
sis the loose thinking that does
credit neither to the author, nor
to the ability of American public
men, as a class, to see clearly and
to act with discretion in meeting
and solving the problems that are
presented to them.
According to Secretary Bona
parte, anarchism and socialism
are two products growing from
the same root, and that root too
literal application of the theory
of the equality of man. Such an
explanation is superficial and in
adequate, and it gives rise to
wrongful conclusions.
1t would be far nearef the truth
TO say that anarchy is the extreme
of individualism, and that indi-
vidualism and socialism are the
two contrary principles that run
universally through the operations
of all social organizations, (of
which government is a part,) and
that by the reactions and compro
unises of these two contrary prin-
ciples, the course of social organ
1ZdtlOn Is UGteItllllCu.
1t is unfortunate for the Eng
dish language, and tor the public
mind in this discussion, that we
have no word to mark the dis
tinction between extreme and un-
modified socialism, and the social
ism that now exists and is neces
sary in every instance in which
the common effort of man, and
their united authority, is exer-
cised for the common good.
When we speak of anarchy, we
mean something different from
dndividualism; for anarchy is the
absence of all law, the complete
independence of man from the
authority of his fellow men; while
individualism is merely the neces-
.sary and sound principle that
society gains by permitting the
individual to develop along the
lines of freedom, SO long as his
acts do not interfere with the
rights and well being of his fell
low men.
These two adverse principles
are interviewer in all human in
stitutions, and no one will ever be
able to drive either of them from
the field. Without socialism, in
dividualism remains; and individ-

of inclosure and to denounce all
those whose desires would lead
them across those lines, as
destructive anarchists or destruc-
tive socialists.
The history of civilization is
the history OF progressive social
ism.
1t is no more socialistic in prin-
ciple for the government to own
the telegraph lines than to own
the postoffice.
1t is no more socialistic for the
city to own the street cars than
to own the water works.
Present day problems affecting
the scope and the extent OF gov
ernmental authority and opera
tions are merely questions OF the
relations and the adjustments of
the two principles of individual
ism and socialism.
They are matters OF advisability
and not matters of principle.
Nothing is to be gained by the
use of epithets.
1t is not anarchy to protest
against the abuses of government
or the unjust exercise of govern
mental power. Or. if that is an
archy, then anarchy is a good
thing.
1t is not socialism, Tin the sense
that Secretary Bonaparte uses the
word when he couples it with an
archy as twin evils from one root,
to advocate an extension of gov
ernmental authority and effort to
whatever may be accomplished
better by governmental operation
than by individualism or corpora
ton effort. Or, if that is social
ism, then socialism is good
thing.
Even the laws by which cor
porations are created and regu-
lated and permitted to exist, are
socialist in their nature. For no
corporation springs into being by
inherent life, but each is the
.reature of the state, and the
state is social organism.
No person who understands
how individual initiative and
liberty, as well as social CO.
operation and authority, are both
necessary, can ever become an
anarchist; and no person who has
learned the same lesson is in any
danger of supporting the~state
slavery plan of extreme socialism
But to stop social agitation
and thereby to stop social prog
ress, by hanging or imprisoning
all socialists and anarchists is al
least three hundred years behind
present the times.

BURLINGTON
ROAD GUILTY OF
GIVING REBATES

Kansas City, Mo. June 14.--A vigorous
blow at the rebate evil was struck by the
government yesterday. when the Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy Railroad COM
pany was found guilty by jury in the
United States district court on four
counts OF granting concessions on pack
ing house shipments for export to the
Armour Packing company. Swift g. Co..
Cudahy q Co. and the Nelson Morris
Packing company.
The conviction carries with II fine OF
from $1,000 to $40, 900 on each count. Judge
Smith Mcpherson deferred sentence until
June 22. All four counts are practically
the same
The case OF the Armour Packing COM
pany, on which instructions were read
TO the jury. charged specifically that the
Burlington railway on Aug. II, 1906. ac-
cepted a shipment OF oleo oil from Kansas
City 10 Liverpool at a rate OF % cents a
hundred pounds from the Mississippi river
TO New York, whereas the regular tariff
rate at that time was 80 cents.
To simplify the case, A. s. Valkenberg,
United States district attorney and Judge
Q. M. Spencer, representing the defend
ant company, signed an agreement OF
facts, which was IN effect that the Bur-
HnBiOn ulu dl ID cents
for the distance named, or a rate OF 40
cents for the whole distance from Kansas
City 10 Liverpool.
o. NJ. Spencer. in his argument for the
defendant, contended that the Burlington
railroad had a joint rate under its con-
tract with the Glover Leaf and the Lehigh
Valley railroads to carry the packing
house products at a rate which would
have been valid under the present ruling
OF the court. had IL been published. Hence
the only crime committed, II any, was
the failure To publish the tariff under the
contract
The evidence showed, he said, that the
shipment was a through shipment to a
foreign destination. The charge in the
Indictment was granting a concession
from a portion OF a through rate. Such
a proposition, he contended. was unknown
TO the law. IL a concession was made al
all IL was on the entire or through rate.
and reduced the through rate by the
amount OF such concession. but did not
and could not be applied to any Fraction
al part OF the through rate.
Judge Mcpherson, In instructing the
jury, pointed out that the Burlington rail-
road had no right TO make a contract for
a period longer than the one in which
the established rate OF % cents should be
in force.
To have carried shipments for % cents
after Aug. II, 1906. when the tariff was
raised TO IS cents. must be considered a
concession. The failure OF the Burling-
ton railway TO file the schedule OF % cents
was immaterial
The jury was out only 35 minutes
