Trained Too Well.

In Baltimore the rule Of the trans
portation companies is that children
over the age of five years must pay
full fare, those under that age being
carried free.
One afternoon not long ago there
were among the passengers ON Il
Charles street car a woman and her
son the latter a big boy Of apparently
seven years, but who was held in his
mothers lap as if he We're a baby.
Presently the lad grew FESTIVE.
"Mommer, mommer." he murmured.
"say, mommer!"
The mother, with a premonition Of
impending danger, tried to silence the
youngster, but to no avail, for he con
tinued to call upon his "mommer."
Finally the woman asked. well.
what is it, son?
"Mommer, when do I say I'm only
fve?" asked the irrepressible.-New

Socialism Will Prevail.

By N. M. WILLIAMS. National Oranzer Of the Socialist Party.
~HE clerks in the departments of Washington imagine them
selves to be in the middle class. This is a grievous error.
~ They are IN TIE WAGE EARNING CLASS. They
earn annually from $500 to $4,000, and this amount is swal'
lowed up in necessities for life.
In the United States alone there are working in the sweatshops,
factories, department stores and aundres over 5,25O,OO0 young
women. Their salary ranges from $50 to So a week. In the census
of 1900 it was shown that 100000 males were out of work and that
over 9! 900, 900 children were toling in the factories AND SWEAT
SHOPS for a livelihood,
What is the cause for these appalling conditions? 1t is THE OP-
PRESTON OF MONOPOLY, the concentration of wealth, the CO.
operation of the financial powers Of the world. The rich live in
luxury. tho roor in DESTITUTION.
Socialism is the attempt to formulate the SENSE OF JUSTICE
and the will of the working class. Further, it is the doctrine that will
be the scheme Of life of civilized mankind in the near future.
THE HUMBLE ORIGIN OF THIS DOCTRINE MAKES IT HARD
FOR THE EDUCATED CLASSES TO GRASP ITS INTELLECTUAL
WoRTHlNEss, BUT THE DAY WILL COME WHEN THE UNIVERSE
WILL SUPPORT IT WITH REVERENCE.

How the Graft
System Grows.

~ HE only thing which makes one FREE is found in ones
self. 1t cannot be found in another mans books. Mos,
men learn more from books than from what THEY
THINK THEMSELVES. You can send a man through
college, give him al. the advantages of education, but what
may it amount to? You cannot make any man an athlete by putting
him through the PAGES.
1t is not only by our lazly letting things 60, but SELF INTER
EST, which works against our intellectual integrity. Should a man
sacrifice that for worldly chance!
Pulpits are full of men who can give the reasons for the troubles
Of the Jews in ages past, but they have no conception of the affairs Of
the present. The reason me- cannot point out the failures Of the
present is due to INTELLECTUAL B~ARRENNEss and self inter-
est. There can only be a complete horizon when we take in the city,
the state, the country AND THE WORLD.
Our captains of industry seize upon privileges without regard to
the effect upon the country. The railroads are for the people, and the
law says that al. shall be treated alike, but the oil trust exists because it
has had SPECIAL RAILROAD PRIVILEGES over its neighbors.
The public owns the streets and wants its rights. But the gas
company gives us the poorest service and highest prices and acts as if
it was working in its own private door yard. There could hardly be a
more vulgar and INSCRIPTIONS betrayal of trust. Any one who tries
to use our institutions FOR PRIVATE GAIN is immoral and un-
patriotic.
In the legislature it is the same thing. 1t is put to private uses,
and if the public objects it is consigned to perditon. Men who build
fortunes contrary to good laws show BAD JUDGMENT. We are
paying a great price for our lack of commercial integrity in the threat
rncd bitterness of those who feel themselves wronged.
When W e accept things as they are we strengthen rather than
weaken the system. We confuse u values woefully. Mental dull
ness to the REAL THINGS about us is tho greatest danger to the
nation.
attention to collision between corporations. They object to the expo
sure of the meat trust and talk Of the imam with the muck rake"
The men who call out are the pessimmts, though they CALL THEM
SELVES the optimists.
I believe this is the most HOPEFUL time the world has ever
known. The world grows better as men with intelligence who see the
truth come forward.
EARS, BUT IF THE WORLD is TO BE BETTER IT MUST BE Ex-
POSED WHEN THERE IS ANYTHING TO EXPOSE. WE MAY Be
SILENT IF IT DOES GOOD, BUT IF NOT IT IS THE WORST OF
coWARo,cE.

of the Negro.

I the close Of slavery the negro found a field practically free
- not only in the commercial world Of the south, but also in
the world of skilled labor. SUCH A FIELD IS NOT
OPEN TO VI IN ANY OTHER PART OF THE
UNITED STATES or perhaps in the whole world. This had a tire

QUESTION WHETHER SO LARGE A PROPORTION OF ANY
OTHER RACE IS IDENTIFIED WITH SOME CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
Not long ago a missionary going to a foreign land asked me as to
how he should proceed to CONVEX. the people to Christianity. l asked
him upon what the people of the land depended for a living. He told
me that they were engaged in sheep raising. told him that if were
going into that country as a missionary l should begin my efforts By
TEACHING THE PEOPLE TO RAISE MORE AND BETTER
SHEEP.
[ said to him that If he could teach the people that Christianity
could raise more and better sheep than pasanism he would at once Ct
