Socialism is in operation in a
small way right in this country,
such as mutual life and properly
insurance." which us another
name for cooperation, and it
seems to please those engaged in
it mighty we'll. Under socialism it
would be worked on a larger
scale.
1t is contended that trusts don't
want competition. Just so, a trust
is run on the principles of coop
GRAFTON, which is socialism so far
as that trust is concerned,
and should be proof enough that
the claims of socialism are correct.
A TRUST is all right if the trustee is
all right, which is all the people,
just what socialists are contending
for.
Some people confound anarchy
with socialism which is incorrect,
the two being exactly the opposite
of one another. There are two
kinds of anarchists in the world.
one that wants to take labor's
earnings without law, the other
wants to take what labor earns
with what they call law. The last
named is the most dangerous.
The socialists want law for ev-
erything, even to settle disputes
between nations, to stop all bloody
wars. thereby to stop the millions
of the values of labor being vast
ed on land and sea. AS per Ho-
sea, 2:18 and 10, And l will
break the bow and sword and the
battle out of the earth, and will
make them lie down safely, and |
will betroth them unto me in right
eousness and in judgment aud in
loving kindness and in mercies." ("

tions-Eugland-has built lately

the people can make their wants

WIpING OUT OF THE MOROS

 factory.
 Washington, March 14.-A cablegram from General Wood regarding criti- cisms of the recent battle of Mount Dajo, on the Island of Jolo, to-day, with correspondence between the pres ident and Secretary Taft on the subject, was made public to-day. General Woods cablegram was in answer to one sent to him at the direction of Sec retary Taft, who called attention to the criticisms of ''wanton slaughter of Moros" and asked him to send all the particulars.
 General Woods reply denies that there was any wanton killing, and says considerable number of women and children were killed in the fight be- cause they were actually in the works when assaulted, that Moro women wore trousers, and that children were used as shields.
 The reply was sent by Secretary Taft to the president with a note in which the secretary says that General Woods s answer to him seems to him to show most clearly that the unfortunate loss of life was wholly unavoidable, to which the president replied that Gen. eral Woods answer lis, of course, en- tirely satisfactory"

M'GOVERN NELSON GO
 A VERY TAME AFFAIR
CROWD KISSES THE FIGHTERS
 AND CRIES "FAKE.0

Scarcely Half Dozen Solid Blows the
 First Three Rounds--Men Wrestle
 From One Side of the Ring to the
 Other--Fighting Began lin What Ap-
 peared to be Earnest in the Fourth
 Round--NeIson Had All the Better of
 the Go--Terry Saves Himself by
 Clinching.
 Philadelphia, March l4.-Battling Nelson had the advantage of Terry Me- Govern in their six round bout which took place at the National Athletic club tonight. For the first three rounds the fight was a disappointment to the five thousand persons who had paid fancy prices to witness it. There were scarcely half dozen solid blows struck, the men wrestling from one end of the ring to the other with the ref cree powerless to separate them, It had been agreed that the referee was not to lay his hands on the men, but simply warn them to step back when they rushed to a clinch, The repeated warnings had no effect on the fighters and the crowd hissed, groaned and cried Fake and Take them out of the ring"
 At the beginning of the fourth round the men began to fight as though they meant business. Nelson Rapt right af- ter McGovern and used straight left to advance. McGoyern frequently coun- tered with hard lefts and rights, but his blows, while they appeared to have great force behind them, failed to make an impression on the sturdy Dane.
 At the close of the fifth round Mc- Govern went to his corner In distress, When the men came up for the final round Nelson sent left to the jaw and McGovern rushed to a cllnch, His sec onds cried "hod on Terry, hold on!" and never were instructions carried out more thoroughly. Every time that Nelson would land stiff blow McGov- ern would grab him around the body and hang on until Nelson threw him off by sheer strength It is doubtful if MeGovern could have stood the gruel- ling for another round. There was some rough work in the early rounds by the Dane. He frequently used his right elbow and bore in on McGovern repeatedly with his head. Nelson de served the decision, but as no decisions are rendered when both men are on their feet, the fight is classed as draw. Neither man was knocked down during the fight, but McGovern slipped to the floor in the fifth round while trying to escape from the Dane.

Marshal Darrougta said that while the Indians are favor able to the Wickliffes there is no dan ger of an uprising.
 A battle Is expected with the Wick lilies before they are captured, but the greater part of the Indial population, he said, if not in sympathy with the of- f1cers, at least will offer no open resist ance. The fifteen Indians arrested were taken without difficulty.

PLOT TO ASSASSINATE
 REV. DR. {. H. PARKHURST
INSPIRED BY POLICE OFFICIALS AND IN REVENGE FOR
 RAIDS.

Captain Shells, Plain Clothes Police
 man and Two Civilians Summoned
 Hearing in Joe Doe PrOceedings--
 Sum of $500 Offered to Kill Noted Di-
 Vine-WOuld Beat but Not Murder.
 New York, March 14.--An alleged plot to assassinate Rev. Dr. Charles Il. Parkhurst, the noted divine and re- former, following the recent municipal election in this city, inspired, it is as- serted, by a police official in revenge for raids made upon certain places by agents of the Society for the Prevention of Crime known also as the Parkhurst society, was revealed to-day, when Dis- trict Attorney Jerome summoned in John Doe proceedings Acting Captain John H. Shells, of the West One Hun dredth street police station; John Phe- Ian, plain-c clothes policeman, and two civilians, Richard Wilson and L. Rog- CTS.
 A hearing will be held tomorrow morning before Magistrate Wahle in the Tombs police court and the wit nesses will be asked to tell what they know of the alleged. plot.
 Rogers, one of tn ywitnesses, and a man named Keue were employed dur ing the last campaign by the Citizens union. A few days after the election Rogers told Kelly, it is alleged, of the plot to murder Dr. Parkhurst. Accord ing to statements already made, Rog- CTS said he was approached by police man and asked if he would take the task of killing Dr. Parkhurst. It is declared that the policeman said po- lice official would pay $500 for the work, and Rogers asked Kelly 1t is alleged, if he was willing to go into the scheme, taking for his part $200 while he (Rog- ers) would get the remainder of the sum.
 It is further alleged that Rogers saw this police official and talked the matter over with him at length, but finally came to the conclusion that he would not resort to murder.
 q will beat him. Rogers is alleged to have said to the police, but won't kill him."
 After Kelly had heard of the plot he went to Dr. Parkhurst and repeated all that had been told him. Following this Wilson and Rogers were continually shadowed by detectives
 The Investigations reached such a point that last Monday it was decided to take Wilson and Rogers up for ex- animation They were taken before Magistrate Wahle, where they made affidavits. To-day's developments fol- lowed.

MOROCCAN CONFERENCE.
Deadlock Can Only be Broken by New
 Instructions.

Instructions.
 Algeciras, Spain, March 14.-The Nor ocean conference is helpless to solve the deadlock which has arisen over the re- maining details of the police and bank questions. The sessions are temporari- ly suspended without knowing when they will. be resumed. The French and German delegates are bound by their instructions, and therefore are unable to make any further concessions, and the conference, not having judicial or legislative powers, cannot settle the diff ferences by a majority. Therefore, the neutral delegates who have heretofore sought to secure an agreement between the parties which the conference could unanimously confirm now recognize that if the conference is left to itself it is incapable of getting out of the pres ent difficulty, and that therefore it re- mains for the governments themselves to intervene for the purpose of reaching an agreement
