Ing the Panama canal and the Albany
capitol, costing twenty-five million for
worthless structure. He made no
distinction whatever between kinds of
government. All governments looked
alike to him. He completely ignored
the fact that present governments are
based on the extraction from labor of
its product. and that a socialist gov
ernment would be based on the Sc
curing TO labor of its product. He
failed to state a single principle that
is held by socialists--or taught in
the universities today, every one of
which has classes on socialism. His
obliteration of the individual is a
phantom OF his imagination, as So
cialism is advocated solely for the
cause that by bringing production to
a scientific basis leisure and oppor-
tunity would be given to all to culti-
vate their separate individual tastes
to the utmost. The Big /, predatory
individual is the only one that would
suffer. He spoke of the millionaire
building" his railroad, apparently
blissfully unconscious of the thousands
in the trenches that really BUILT the
road.
A Political salad.
He scored the millionaires and ag-
gregations of capital also. His talk
was reactiOnary and unscientific

electioneers for Roosevelt. In fact, il
was jIst popular" and most of the
people who listened to him were just
popular" enough so they didn't know
the difference. But the applause was
neither frequent nor hearty. and in
deed there were evidences that the
socialist taching that has been dis
seminated so unremittingly in Helena

Freak of Popularity"

Dixon is a freak of what the aver
age American audience calls "popu-
larity." That a man like him can be
called popular with our educational
societies is a disgrace to the Ameri-
can standards of education and
science. The man has simply gather
ed together a freakish conglomeration
of nonsense that his experience has
shown him he can get $50 a night
for before the average American pop
ular audience. His explanation of So
cialism is ludicrous. Any school boy
who reads on the subject would rec
ognize its absurdities. He would be
hooted on any university platform for
his brash misstatements. lie ignores
science, violates the simplest formulas
of economics. makes stupid play to
the trifling and foolish ideas of the
mass. He is comedian who has
simply learned a money-making part
one well-posted socialist was present
at the Helena lecture who heard
Dixon deliver the same thing word
for word four years ago in Chicago.
At that time the hall was wellnlled
with socialists, and they guyed the
performing freak so vigorously for
his ludicrous Misrepresentation of So
cialism that he was much discom-
fited. and lost considerable of the airy
assurance he carried in Helena. with
hardly a socialist in the hall. In
Great Falls his lecture will be fail
uro because there are SO many we'll
posted socialists there and they will
attend the lecture in force and make
their presence known.

JOSEPH BROOKS. SOCIALIST"

The above is the name that Eugene
Walter should have placed at the
head of his play, paid in Full" il
he had been honest And Joseph
Brooks, the socialist. is the type of
everything that is mean, low and con-
temptible in human nature. He is
thief-steals from his employer be-
cause he is a socialist and does not
get enough of his product according
to the play-he is a liar. he bullies
his friends, and tries to sell his wife
to keep himself from Jail and dis
grace-even lays the blame upon her,
the faithful one. of all his rascality
The author has portrayed the socialist
and socialism as detestable as possi-
BILE. That is why the play had such
long runs in New York and Chicago,
and is so universally popular in
America-where an uniformed pub
lie can still be imposed upon by,such
stupid rot. In London-with fifty So
cialists in parliament-the play was
dead failure.

Becoming Obsolete.

-Four years from now his lecture
will be out of date. and he cannot
give IL in any hall i'm America without
being hooted off the platform. AS the
speaker himself says, socialism is be-
coming the dominant issue in Amer
lean politics and from now on We
shall have to decide which form of
society We shall have, "individualism
or socialism," and as socialism ad-
vances with its majestic domination
of every heart as the truth and
science of its positions are seen such
twaddle as Dixon's will be held as an
insult to the intelligence Of lecture
goers.
AS stated before the man is giving
a popular talk for pay. He has found
that an advertisement to combat So
clalism draws a large crowd at this
stage of the game. lie has also found
that he can unload any sort of rot
upon this crowd without it's being any
the wiser. And the suspicion OF the
writer is that Dixon is getting a good
deal of amusement out OF seeing what
an American audience will stand. The
probabilities are that Dixon votes the
socialist ticket and there is informa-
tion at hand to that eff:ct. When ne
undertakes to make an analysis Of
the socialist contention i'm regard To
social conditions he out-Herods
licrod, and gives the Socialist position
as clear as cCystai, so much SO that
the audience is visibly affected. No
socialist could do IL better. lie arouses
the indignation of his hearers at the
holocaust of women and children un-
der the merciless lash of capitalist
production. And when he is making
his awful misstatemcnts of what So
cislism is they are 50 rank and such
an evident pcrvcrsion of the truth
thai one can imagine him looking sly
ly out from under his spcctaclcs and
saying under his breath. You are
easy"

ironclad discipline OF government like

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
Tilden Case Which Turned Out Not
At All MYSTERIOUS,

Dewitt Simms whose mysterious
disappearance" alarmed Tilden, has re-
appeared not at all mysteriously. He
came up from Omaha on the North
western and was surprised to hear
OF the stir that his absence had oc-
casioned. Just as the young man got
hack to Tilden the business men of
the town were getting ready to raise
money to have detective investigate
the matter.
Simms had been working on a farm
near Tilden and came to Tilden to
take the Deadwood train west. He
dropped completely from sight and a
suit case believed to have been his
was found under a corn crib.
Simms disclaimed ownership of the
suit case and stated that he had his
belongings wrapped in a. blue paper
bundle and not in a suit case when
he left town.
The young mans mother had been
quite alarmed at his disappearance
and it was feared that he might have
met with foul play.

THE NORFOLK WEEKLY FRIDAY
FIRST YEAR RIVER FAILS
NoRTAFoRK YIELDS NO ICE AT
ALL THIS WINTER.
HAS BEEN WARMEsT WINTER

In All Of His Experience in Norfolk
Fred Sehelly Has Never Failed to
Get Crop Of Ice on the Northfork
Until Now.
This Is the first winter since Fred
Schelly has been in the ice business
in Norfolk-and that dates back to
the early days--when IL was impos-
sible TO get ice off the Northfolk river.
The coolest weather this winter has
been eight degrees below zero. In
some years the ice men have had to
stop work on the river because the
ice froze too thick--so thick that It
broke down the chutes.
Only once this year was there n
seeming prospect for river ice. That
was two weeks ago yesterday. Mr..
Schelly had his crew of workmen
ready to harvest the ice. 1t was eight
inches thick. But the air turned warm
and within two hours the ice had so
softened that it was worthless.
IL have given up all hope of river
ice this year." said John Schelly.
This firm may import ice They
may get some from sloughs even yet.
Added expense to the harvest will
unquestionably make ice higher priced
next summer, it is said.

REDUCED 10 IR|-NEEkLY
UNION PACIFIC ACCOMMODATION
SERVICE CUT DOWN.
IN THE INTEREST OF ECONOMY
viii Come to Norfolk Tuesdays, Thurs.
days and Saturdays onIy-New Or
der Goes Into Effect Wednesday.
Howl All Along the Line.


The Union Pacific accommodation
freight which has been running six
days a week between Columbus and
Norfolk, was reduced to a three times
Il week train by an order sent out
yesterday from the Union Pacific Of
fees in Omaha. The train will run
on this branch on Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Saturdays, doing service on
the Spading branch line the other
three days in the week. The new or
der becomes effective Wednesday.
The cutting of the accommodation
train service down to three days a
week, when 1t became known last
evening, was received with great
deal OF regret and disfavor in Nor
folk and on the towns on the Colum.
bus branch. At Madison, the town
most affected, the news was one OF
the principal topics of conversation
and it was said that an immediate
protest would be registered.
The new order affects the freight,
passenger and mail service OF every
town on the branch, including Nor
folk. 1t is not expected to affect the
retail business Of the city so much
because three days are given shop
pers to come to Norfolk but it will
seriously Inconvenience the branch
line business men who are often
called to Norfolk on an hours bust
ness. The travelling men will be af-
fected and the mail service will be
quite seriously crippled At Madison
it was said that the receipt of freight
only three times a week was Sc
rious matter to the town. Only two
regular trains are run on the branch,
the passenger and the accommodation
freight.
An encouraging feature of the I'M
popular order is that it is apparently
in the nature of an experiment. The
order was a general one covering
branch lines and reducing the service
in the interests of economy. 1t did
not bring a new time card but was
apparently issued as a brief expert
ment.
The joint train on the Norfolk and
| Spalding branches will be handled by
the present crew on the Spaldine
branch, now in charge Of Conductor
| Linaberry.
