A City Free From Debt.

On May Is, 1908 the city of Kokomo
Ind, paid the last dollar of its indebt-
edness. Its mayor, Hon. win H. Ar
nett contributes an article on the sub
ject to the June issue of the City Hall.
from which the following quotation is
taken:
Whatever may be said of the merits
of municipal ownership elsewhere. the
city Of Kokomo is signal example Of
what may be done with private corpo-
rations when dealt with by men Of judg'
ment and integrity. Her contracts are
fair and reasonable. and her rates are
not burdensome. Perhaps no stronger
argument against municipal ownership
could be offered than the present con-
dition of the city of Kokomo in rela-
ton to its public service corporations"

The days of miracles are not past.
AT Dusseldorf, Prussia Tuesday a
balloon with two aeronauts in it
ripped open at an altitude of 5000
feet.
After rapid fall of 1000 feet, the
envelope spread out, seemingly in
a purely accidental manner, forming
a sort of parachute, which checked
the descent. The balloon then grad
ually came down, taking an hour and
q half to reach the earth, the two
men clinging to the ropes and the
basket. They suffered no injury ex-
cept few scratches. The cause of
the accident was the sudden expan'
sion of gas.

Walter Wellman, justly celebrate

Walter Wellman, a justly celebrat-
ed political writer of Republican
proclivities, afirms that in his opin-
ion, Taft will be elected; but that
the Republicans have on their hands
the fight of their lives. Well, we
cheerfully admit the latter portion
of his affirmation. All the signs
point to this campaign being the
very thing MIR. Wellman says it is
the Republican party's fight of or
for it's life-its continuance at the
public crib, its use of government
for private ends, it's fostering of
trusts, its denial OF the proposition
that the people should rule.

BURN COTTON
Farm Wagon And Cotton De-
stroyed In Arkansas.

Jonesboro, Ark, Sept. 28. The
first real acts of violence charged to
night riders in Arkansas reached
here Saturday. 1t is reported that
armed men met a farmer near Main
wood, on the border Of Greene and
Craighead counties, fifteen miles
from here, Thursday, and forced
him to alight from his wagon, bear
ing fourSbales of cotton. The farmer,
according to the report, was ordered
away, and going back Friday morn
ing. he found his wagon and cotton
in ashes.
The night riders called at Shul-
berry & Tennyson's store, notifying
them not to purchase cotton at a less
figure than Is cents per pound. The
raiders then notified DR.. Major, a
prominent planter, in this district,
not to market cotton from his plan
tation unless he received the max
imum price above mentioned. A
number of farmers were stopped in
the highway and threatened by the
men, who forced some of them to re-
turn to their homes with the cotton.
The ginners at Herrinville were
ordered to close down their gins.
Parties who came to the city and
reported seeing the night riders,
claim they recognized several of
them, and arrests will follow.

SOCIALISM AND N. 0.
Socialists Regard Municipal Ownership
as a Step In the Right Direction.


as a Step In the Right Direction.
At the recent labor conference at
Hull. England, a resolution was adopt
ed to the effect that Socialism is the
definite object of the Labor party"
This party has steadily favored mu-
nicipal ownership. but until this year
has been unwilling to take the next
and logical step of indorsing social
ism. This action just taken is helpful
to clearer understanding of the rela-
ton between the two movements So
cialism stands for the collective own
ershlp of all the means Of production;
municipal ownership stands for the
collective ownership of part of the
means of production. The difference is
one Of degree, not of kind. and in
Great Britain no logical line of demar-
cation between the two has been
found.
In this country, too, the Socialist is
making full use of municipal owner
ship. He well knows that many peo-
pie will take tickets for a short ride
who would be frightened away If urged
to buy q through ticket. The main
point is to get them started toward his
ultimate goal. After man has been
enlisted in favor of municipal owner
ship 1t is comparatively easy to get
him to accept the principle of public
ownership of railroads, telegraphs and
coal mines, although he may still not
be ready to accept the whole Socialist
programme, collective ownership of all
the means of production, for the sim
pie reason that he Is apt to be an
owner or part owner Of some means
OF production" himself--e. g., q shop or
q store or a share or two of stock in
manufacturing plant. That is why the
platform of the Socialist par
ty is discreetly silent on some of the
doctrines of socialism. The
real purpose of collective ownership of
all the means of production is there
fore toned down to a demand for
THE collective ownership of rail-
roads, telegraphs, telephones, steam
ship lines and all other means of
transportation and communication and
all land.
1.-THE collective ownership of all in
dustries which are organized on ma
tional scale and in which competition
has virtually ceased to exist.
"The extension of the public domain
to include mines, quarries, oil wells,
forests and water power"
The platform is silent about munic-
ipal ownership of lighting plants and
waterworks because M. o. people are
attending to that part of the Socialist
programme, leaving the thoroughgoing
Socialist free to concentrate his efforts
on the second part of the programme
as outlined above. 1t may look entic-
ing, but remember that socialism
doesn't intend to stop with public utili-
ties and big corporations nor until it
has swallowed up in the great state
machine every vestige of private own
ership Of everything except what a
man wears on his back or needs to
furnish his home.

HITS DETROIT CITY PLANT.
Alderman Points Out Weak Place In
Municipal Management.


''If the truth were known" said Al
derman r. M. Watson Of Detroit while
in Milwaukee, 1--WE are paying more for
electric light in Detroit at the munich
pal plant than we could get it for from
a private corporation. Our plant is OBJ
solete."
The delegation of Detroit aldermen
told Commissioner Jansen of the city's
experience with municipal heating.
When the Detroit city hall was half
its present size it cost the city $4,000
a year to heat it by municipal plant
In the building. The Detroit Central
Heating company now heats the en-
larged building for $4,000 year.
The visitors said Detroit was confus-
ed as to what to do about the street
railway system when the franchises
expire in two years. The visitors said
the city government of Detroit lost
money on the three cent fare because
the three cent fare roads do not have to
maintain the pavement between the
tracks, while the four cent roads do.
Alderman Watson says that the board
Of estimate in Detroit has persistently
refused to appropriate money to keep
the municipal electric lighting plant up
to date and that as a result the time
will soon come when the entire expense
of replacing the plant will have to be
met in one year instead of gradually
from year to year, and the cost of cleo
trio lipht win rise proDortiOnately. -
