THE SOCIALIST COLUMN DIsCON.
TINUED.

Many, perhaps, have wondered why
The Republic granted space for the
socialist column The reason was for
the sake OF publicity Of what they.
teach. The editor OF this paper has
repeatedly stated that scientific So
ciaIism is unObjectionable, and, that in
many particulars, their principles are
already in operation in the state and
nation; and that all that they advO-
cate, except the cooperative com
monwealth,' IS provided for in the
constitutions OF the states and Of the
United States OF America
Inticed into the open, they have
declared that they contemplate a re-
volution OF the states and the United
States Granted that It is a peace
able revolution that is contemplated by
the ballot, it IS a revolution all the
same and they say so. Their coop
erative commonwealth" is a Utopian
ignis fatuoUs, that leads to the Quag-
mire Of delusion.
The Republic has shown that the
Bryan democracy in this and other
states, and in its national platforms,
has incorporated everything they de-
ment-their commonwealth idea. The
propaganda is urged simply to create
a political party and elect men ambi-
tfous for preferment to Office. This is
their main object and end. They
seem to have no regard for men Of ma
tiOnal ability and reputation labOring
for the rights for the labOring masses
in their desperate conflict against col
OssaI mOnopOIies and predatory
wealth They even attack Bryan as q
man OF no ability and no integrity, and
declare that Hearst is a seIf-seeking
demagogue- In this respect they even
'out HerOd HerOd," and are equally
severe in their criticism with the most
partisan republican
This paper accOrds both ability and
craftsmanship to Roosevelt, not &C
cepting, however, his tariff theories;
but they accord nothing Of the sort
to any one. They are icOnOcIasts and
revOlutionists upon their own frank
statement They cannot complain If
they are taken at their word.
The editor Of this paper being a pat
riOtic American citizen, and believing
that our form Of government, prop
erly administered, is the most perfect
form Of government ever devised by
max and having fought to maintain
it throughout the civil war, can no
longer cOnscientiousIy give publicity
to their propaganda.
And, inasmuch as The Republic is
an Out-and-oUt JefersOnian democrat
&c paper, and stands for all that the
name implies, socialists cannot expect
that it should publish the onslaughts
for political enemies, nor have the fair
name Of the great men Of the demo-
cratic party further disparaged and its
editor without justice or reason.

Did we think OF the light and sunshine
OF the blessings left rs STILL
When we sit and ponder darby
And blindly Ger LIES III,
How should We dispei the shadows
OF toll and deep despair,
And lessen the weight Of anguish
Which every heart must bear2
The clouds may rest on the present,
And sorrow on days that are gone
But no night is so utterly cherries
That we may not look for the dawn;
And there is no human being
With 50 wholly dark a lot,
But the heart, by turning the picture,
Nay ind some sunny spot
For, as in the days OF winter,
When the snOWdrifts Whiten the hiils
Some birds in the air viii hutter,

So, IL we would bark to the music,
Some hope with a starry wing,
In the days Of our darkest sorrow,

PROSPERITY.

From Kansas City World.
Never before in this country have
the railroads been so rushed with
freight as they are now; never have
the harvests been heavier, the yield
OF the mines richer, the factories buster
and all business briske and sounder
Never did the Thanksgiving month
come upon greater prosperity than
the American people enjoy today.
What does it mean to US?
More money, Of course, more com
forts, more pleasures, more freedom
from worries. more joy in living.
The industrious are working their
way forward and upward. The thrift
~ are laying aside a competence. Hun
dreds Of thousands Of homes are be-
ing buiIded. It IS a season rich with
hope and achievement.
But what does all this really mean to
US?
Merely more money, more comfort,
more pleasures?
Are there no blessings for US in
prosperity beyond the material joys
Of easier living?
Alas for US as a people If we fail to
see in our bountiful plenty the respOn-
sibility to our better selves which this
prosperity has put upon US!
Adversely develops great differences
IN men. Prosperity develops greater
differences still
Many are glad to seize the fruits
that fail from the cOrnucopia and eat
drink and be merry
Many others store them securely
away where they are OF no use to
themselves OF anyone else
And others carefully use them as
means to develop their own minds, 70
broaden and sweeten their sympathies,
to. educate their children, TO lend q
helping hand to the weak, to sOOthe
the sorrowing, to make the home
wholesome and happier, to build
schools and hospitals and churches to
grasp not the joys that must perish
with themselves, but to create those
leavening human forces that shall en-
dure forever.
Wealth itself never advanced hui
manly a single step.
Prosperity that is wholly material
can never truly benefit any people II
IS but enriched soil in which the real
treasures OF life may be better grown

continual imprisonment, extreme cru
city, wilfuI desertion, and habituaz
drunkenness for two years Divorce
from bed and board may be granted
for the same cause and for the addi-
donaI cause Of hopeless insanity Of
the husband"
Some Of the more frequent causes
OF divorce not appearing in the pro-
posed statute are failure BY the hus-
band TO provide and various forms Of
incompatibility. Physical fncapacity,
is a cause for divorce in most states
In the proposed statute it is made a
ground for annulment OF the mari
age. The other grounds for the an
nulment proposed by the statute are
consanguinity, existing former MARI
age, fraud, force or coercion, insanity
and illegal age.
One Of the most praiseWOrthy feat
ures Of the proposed law is that pro-
hibiting the solicitation Of divorce
cases by advertisement, circular, OF
in other manner, and prescribing fo1
such an offense a fine not to exceed
81, 200 and imprisonment for not more
than one year
Furthermore, the committee desires
uniform legislation TO discourage di-
vorce for the purpose Of remarriage
by requiring a years delay in all cases
and by increasing the resort, appar-
emily in the courts discretion, to the
limited annuIment Of the marriage
contract that does not qualify either
party for a second union
All the states could adopt these
changes without injustice to any OF
their citizens That alone would be
a great step in direction OF marriage
and divorce reform.

The United States imports about
1000 million pounds OF cones yearly.
Some eight-tenths OF the supply comes

one-tenth from Central American and

The fmportations Of Mocha coffee,
which take its name from the town OF

Story of am EpItaph.

FROM Lie
In the little town Of Bolivar, Tenn,
there is a quaint epitaph, connected
with which there is an interesting bit
OF political history. Colonel Ezekiel
Polk was the uncle OF James K Polk
president Of the United States. The
old gentleman was a character" in
his day. Fearing that undiscrimin-
ating eulOgistS might carve batteries
upon his monument, he constructed
his own epitaph, and left definite in
structiOns to have it placed upon his
tomb. Here it is:
Here lies the remains Of old z. P,
An instance OF mortality.
Pennsylvania born, North Carolina
In Tennessee he will die in his bed.
His early days he spent in pleasure,
His latter years in getting treasure.
AS for knavery and fOreseeing,
He knew as much as most OF being.
Tithes and pence, and such foolish
things
Were only made for priests and kings.
To such fOllies he was never willing
To contribute one solitary shilling.

The old cOlOneIs instructions were
carried out most faithfully, and for
several years there might have been
seen in the family cemetery OF the
Polk family this chaTmingly frank ex-
preston Of his political and theologi-
cal opinions. But in 1874, when his
illustriOus nephew was a candidate
for the presidency, the democrats,
fearing the presence and ''peTniciOus
activity Of the ubiquitous newspaper
man, removed the obnoxious tomb
stone to the family smOkehouse. There
il rested till the time Of the rebellion
when the union soldiers, raiding
through the state, dragged it from its
place OF cOncealment, and It now lies
in the neglected garden OF an old
family mansion, half covered with
weeds and wild flowers.

CALL
FOR THE TUG
Stopped in Front Of Ferry Slip as
the Warren Was Coming In
Strong Tide Running.

There was much excitement aboard
the ferry boat Warren this morning
when a collision with the tugboat
John r. Runkle, of New York, was
narrowly averted. The tug stopped
in front of the ferry slip as the War
rem was coming in with strong tide,
and only the cool judgment of the
captain of the ferryboat, who turned
the Warren to one side, prevented a
crash.
The Warren left Tottenville at
1906 o'clock for her trip to this
city. The tide was very strong and
as she neared the local slip the cap
tain went to one side so as to make a
good landing. The tugboat John H.
Runkle came along just as the War
rem was about to enter the slip. The
tug could have sneaked past all
right, but something must have gone
wrong with her machinery, for she
stopped directly at the end of the
slip in the path of the ferryboat.
The crew and passengers on the
Warren thouht that collision could
not be prevented and a number of the
women passengers were panic strick-
en- and made rush for the stern OF
the boat. The engines of the Warren
were reversed. BY hard work the
captain threw the wheel over and the
ferryboat passed out of danger. The
tugboat finally got started again and
all was well.

ST. MARY'S is
ONE YEAR old
New Church Dedicated Last May
Pastor and People Working
Hard to Pay Off Debt.

1t will be great day for st. Mary's
Roman Catholic parish, May 81, for
the new church will be one year old
and, through the hard work of the
pastor, Rev. B. T. O'Connell, much
of the debt has been paid off and the
congregation has grown to such an
extent that at every mass the church
is filled.
1t was only after the hardest kind
of a struggle on the part of the pas
tor and a great effort on the part of
the congregation that the new church
was built, for the parish is not veal
thy one The church, which is cas-
lily the handsomest house of worship
in Perth Amboy, is a pride not only
to both the pastor and the congrega-
tion, but the whole city.
Already Father O'Connell is re-
ceiving the congratulations of the
congregation and his many friends.
The parish is now in excellent condi-
tion and it will be only short time
until all of the debt on the new
church has been cleared away.

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 15.-De-
tective Peltier, of Perth Amboy,
brought another suspect to Jail yes
terday afternoon in the Browntown
murder case. He is Philip Lott, thir-
ty-five years old, who lives near
Browntown. He is feebleminded
fellow and his actions led the author
tiles to believe he had something to
do with the crime. Lott lives with
his brother and search was made
of the house in an effort to find a
gun or revolver which might have
done the shooting. AS nothing has
yet been seen here, it is supposed the
investigation was not successful.
The warrant for Lott was issued
by Justice Suydam, but it is general
ly believed that there is little evil
dence on which to hold him.
Nothing seems to be doing in the
other murder cases and it begins to
look as if Middlesex will have moth
ing to show for four murders except
big expense bill. The standing re-
ward of $4,000 does not have the de-
sired effect.
