slow-dying of all the higher aspira-
tions. This is capitalism. There
must be a, vast army of dependent
people at its base to support It.
Capitalism depases manhood in ev-
cry walk of life. Il incites to graft;
drives men to dishonesty: forces
women to prostitution; hobs child
hood of its right to decent physical,
intellectual and moral development;
and its appeals always 10 the selfish
and barbarous instincts of man. It
deprives vast multitudes of our peo-
pie OF the right to life-liberty and the
pursuits of happiness, and fills the
land with tramps and beggars. Under
its deadening spell the workers
whole time must be taken up with
his dinner pail" to the entire neg
lect OF the higher ambitions of life.
Socialism offers emancipation. Its
goal is the cooperative common
wealth. II would so nstionalize In
dustry that all men and women would
have a chance for life.
II stands for the right Of every
man to work. and to have the full
value of his toll.
For the equality of women with
men in business, social and political
life.
For democratic management in all
business and governmental affairs.
For pensions for the aged and in
firm.
For conditions that make possible
the application OF the golden rule in
business affairs.
To these principles we invite the
earnest attention of every man and
woman, and lay upon the conscience
OF every voter their support at the
polls.

FRIEND TO RIDE IN HIS CAR.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 30.-of-
ficers today visited the home OF o. A.
Bailey, the Wells Fargo express mes
senger murdered In his car on the
Santa Fe yesterday. They sought for
the murdered mans list of his rail-
road acquaintances who are now out
of employment.
The officers are convinced that the
murder of the messenger, who was
slain with hatchet, and the robbery
OF the express safe was the work of
a railroad man, more than probable
an ex-messenger, owing to the famil-
iarlty of the man who did the job
with the safes, keys aud markings
of the packages. Nothing in the car
or the safes was disturbed except the
money and jewelry packages.
The officers are convinced that
Bailey was befriendlng some acqualn-
tance by letting him ride In his car,
and that the latter. when the mes
senger's back was turned. hit him In
the head with the messengers own
hatchet. took the safe keys from the
dead mans pocket. and after affect
ing the robbery leaping from the
train at Newton.
The officials refuse to state whaI
the robbery amounted to hut It Is
believed the sum was large. A re,
ward of $1,000 has been offered foi
the capture OF the murderer.

GAS DR|LLERS
AGAIN AT WORK

Little Rock, Nov. 28.-Idle for
two months, the drill of the pros
peCt we'll at Plummerville, where
natural gas in quantities sufficient
to supply Little Rock is expected
to be found, began pounding again
today and the Little Rock officials
of the company expect no further
mishap before the flow of gas is
reached. The drill was down
about 1900 feet when the cable
parted, and the rope had to be dug
out of the hole piece by piece.
The hole was drilled crooked, and
in digging out the old rope cable,
the well has been Strengthened 50
the old drills left in the bottom of
the hole, and the new drill can go
on straight down without waiting
to fish out the old tools. The for
nation being passed through now
is such that it is thought gas we'll
will be brought in within the next
few hundred feet of drilling, which
at this great depth, is very slow
job. A new steal wire cable is now
being used, guarding against fur
ther breaks there.
