SAVINGS BANK INSURANCE.

THE bill before the Massachusetts, Legisa-
Il ture permitting savings banks to engage
under certain conditions in the industrial life in
surance business is attracting much interest
Should the measure become a law its operations
will be watched with view Of extending the
business in other states. 1t has long been felt
that those who secure industrial insurance pay
much higher proportonate rate than do persons
who take out larger policies from the regular
companies.
Under the proposed law the savings banks OF
the Bay State commonwealth would conduct
small life insurance business just as they receive
savings deposits 1t would not be a money max
ing scheme but the profits would 80 to the policy
holders just as the profits of savings bank en-
rich the depositors
Life insurance men point out that one of the
heaviest expenses in the conducting of their
business is the soliciting And it may be true
that little business would be done were it not for
the energy and alertness of solicitors. Whether
the wage-earners would so to the savings
banks for industrial insurance is the question de-
bated. But they do patronize the savings banks
and thus store away neat sums for rainy day.
Life insurance is one of the duties that men owe
to their families and it would seem that once the
practice is begun, there are thousands in moder-
ate circumstances who would take advantage of
industrial insurance when offered by savings
banks. The old line companies are presumably
conducted on the mutual plan of sharing their
profits with their policy holders, but the nvesti-
cations in New York showed how far they fell
from this idea.

a following on the continent and some members
of the European parliaments.
But the conception of socialism as entertained
by most of the leaders of that doctrine is not
merely a desire for social improvement They
have a definite idea of how the Improvement can
be accomplished.
Practically all Socialists agree that socialism
means the public ownership OF all the resources
and instruments of productions the public owner
ship of capital, the collective organization Of
labor, so that everybody will be guaranteed en-
ployment, and the distribution Of produce
cordng TO the productive value of labor Pri-
vate capital is eliminated. This is the central
idea of socialism as it is generally accepted. 1t
is not necessarily in conflict with religion. Per-
haps more light is shed by observing the char
acter Of the promoters OF the movement. Most
Of them declare for distinctvely anti-Christian
State Their doctrine is materiastic in nature.
1t has been shaded down by Grunlund and other
American writer's to meet the Christian sentiment
in this country.
Considering socialism in this light it is evident
that Roman Catholics or no other Christians will
follow the tenets OF party that hopes to improve
the life Of working people through an and-Chrs-
tian State. 1t is bust just to say that many
Christians are Socialists, but it is also true that
many OF their leaders in the political socialistc
movement are hostile TO religion some are pas
sve or indifferent Especially is this so in
Europe.

Judging from the numher of appllca-

DEMOCRATS AND CORPORATIONS.

ONE element OF the Democratic party is pa
- rading before the people the attitude of the
Democratic members of the recent Legislature
toward the measures affecting the public service
corporations Another element is crying ring
rule The opponent OF ring rule, however, is the
chief defender Of the corporations, and the ques-
ton is what would the Democrats do if they were
to gain power and were called upon TO deal with
the corporation question.
The Democrats did much shouting at the Leg
islature in their pretended support of the people
as against the public service corporations, and
yet when the Hon. John p. Holland appeared
before Sussex county Democratic convention
and proposed plank in the ountyPlatiorm con-
cerning corporations he was unceremoniously
turned down And the history Of the party in
the past indicates that the newyfound interest in
the people as against the public service corpo-
ratons would not be more than mere passing
fancy to get votes.

CONCEPTIONS OF SOCIALISM.

THE Rev Timothy Brosahan, a noted profess
\ sor in the Roman Catholic Woodstock Col
lege lectured the other evening in Philadelphia
on the question, Can a Catholic be a Socialist"
At the beginning the professor encountered the
obstacles that confront most other writer's and
speakers upon any question concerning Socialism.
1t is not clear to them just what socialism is,
and therefore whether man can become be-
lever in socialistic principles depends upon what
those principles are. And among Socialists them
selves there is some Of the same confusion. The
Socialists have been strong in attacking the
abuses Of society and capitalist production, but
when they apply the remedy they raise serious
doubts in the mind Some have defined social
ism as any movement towards the uplifting or
betterment OF society. If this definition be ac-
cepted as true the professor declares that we
all socialists and he asserts that the "Catho-
lie church is the first and greatest socalistic in
stitution in the world"
The speaker continues that the late Pope Leo
in many Of his encychcals touched upon social
questions and reforms and with the foregoing
conception Of socialism it is the duty Of Catholics
TO be socialists. This idea is developed by
party Of so-called Christian Socialists who have

MAKING BAD RAILS.

THE Investigations Of scientific and technical
Il journals throw light upon one of the
causes OF the recent wrecks on the railroads
The Railway Gazette charges that the Steel
Trust has been making rails of inferior quality
and that the trust "has shown an utter lack OF
responsibility and criminal willingness to make
bad rails
The Scientific American explains that the trust
has been using lower grade ores which are high
in phosphorus, thus making the rails brittle.
Furthermore it is asserted, that instead of using
only the lower two-thirds of the igots cast in
the mills, which is the solid portion, they use the
top portion also which contains pipes and blow
holes. These charges made by responsible au-
thorities in the scientific world will doubtless lead
to a government investigation. II the reports are
correct that thousands of lives are imperiled be-
cause of the greed Of the steel trust the govern
ment could not deal too stringently with those
responsible for the making of inferior rails. The
revelations OF these papers simply throw another
light upon The trust method OF production
