THE LOGIC OF FACTS.
Socialism Begins With "Public Utilities
and Then Throttles Private Business.


It's advocates say that municipal
ownership is not socialism because it
confines itself to public utilities. But
that Ia a very elastic phrase which
can easily be stretched to include any
industry the profits of which appeal
to public cupidity or the municipaliza-
ton Of which will make q taking
tissue" for a political or journalistic
demagogue. Everybody in Vienna drinks
beer; brewing is public utility" the
city has invested 100000 in a mu-
nicipal brewery and another tidy sum
in a municipal beer palace, so that
the thirsty citizens may get his jag
without being dependent upon private
enterprise. Why not? Everybody in
Vienna dies-ultimately. Another pub
lie utility" is grasped by the growing
army of city officials, and the leading
out at a cost Of 100000. Again, why
not? Although everybody in Vienna
doesn't eat meat 0he pay of minor city
employees doesn't permit such a lux
ury), the retail butchers were discov-
cred to be making profit which might
much better be in the city treasury
than In private pockets. To think was
to act. and Vienna became purveyor
Of meat. When you mix government
and business you get socialism, the de-
gree Of socialism depending only upon
how much business you mix with your
government, not what sort of business
-"public utilities" or otherwise.

EpftOmfzfnR Bryanfsm.

Mr.. Bryan is good man and Is an
orator, but he Is constantly seeking
for a short cut to virtuous result, to
a result that is going to give US some
thing for nothing, and there is moth
ing in the world within the law and
within justice that gives you sometb g
for nothing, except the love Of your
father and mother. That does, and
you find when you become a father
or mother that you have to pay out
to your children the love that you got
from your father or mother. 1t goes
that way.-Judge Taft at Greensboro,
v G.

Mr.. Thompson then proceeds to out
line the measures that shall serve as
aids to the new Socialist BIRTH" devot-
ing more than one-third of his brochure
to municipal ownership, which he
frankly calls municipal socialism and
evidently regards as the most avail
able means for accustoming the public
to socialistic principles and methods.
We owe debt Of gratitude to Mr..
Thompson for helping to make clear
the intimate connection between mu-
nicipal ownership and socialism.

As to Initiation Fees.

The question has arisen lately as to
whether person can be received as a
member Of the grange on payment Of
less than the regular initiation fee,
which is So for men and for women
and for boys from IA to Fl and women
from IA to q 80 cents. The answer is,
No. Also relative to legal dues the con-
stitution provides each member shall
pay annual dues amounting to 10 cents
a month, and no subordinate grange
has a legal right to accept less. This
Is the Interpretation Of the regulation
by the national master.

of the situation is concise and every

CORRUPTION THE DANGER.
English Expert Warns Against Too
Many City Employees.

Many City Employees.
The real danger of municipal owner
ship is the danger of corruption. Men
In all Industries must frequently agi-
tate for increase Of pay. 1t is natural
You cannot blame them for doing so.
But IL men are constantly agitating
for increase Of pay it follows that
their employers must constantly have
thrown upon them the disagreeable
task Of refusing. Who in the council
will refuse those demands? The con-
scientious man will be foremost In re-
sisting unreasonable demands, and the
inevitable result of his conduct will be
that he will be remembered at the next
election. The result will be that you
will get lowering In the tone Of the
body elected to the council, and you
will have a lowering in the tone Of the
electors.
The men look for an increase Of pay
as a demand for justice. Everybody
considers himself insufficiently paid.
[Laughter.] They will come to regard
their vote more and more as private
property and not as public duty to
be exercised In the interests Of the
whole of the state. And the more and
more they cease to consider their vote
In a public duty the more and more
they will go down the hill on the
path that leads In the end to direct anf
open corruption. - From Address De-
livered by Major Leonard Darwin Be-
fore Canadian Club, Montreal.

The Crusaders at Work.

The undenominational soul saving
work, under the auspices of the Chris
tian Crusaders, is still being carried
forward in the Tabernacle on Irby Hill
with a marked degree of spiritual dew
clopment, Notwithstanding the fact that
the weather has been quite cool recent
ly, and that there have been some
affairs of a secular nature that have
engaged the minds and attention Of
both the professors and non-professors
of Christianity.
Gods faithful children arc earnestly
praying for the salvation OF the un-
saved, and many, In answer to their
prayers, are being awakened from the
"sleep of sin" 1t is hoped that a
large in%gathering of souls will follow
this spiritual awakening, and that those
who have sought and found Christ, up
to this time, upon bended knees, at the
altar, may prove TO be real soul win
ners.
Meetings will be continued every
night during the week at 8 o'clock and
on Sunday at 3 and 8 p. m. All are COR
daily invited to attend these services.
"Let the wicked f9rsake his way and
the ~unrighteous man his thoughts, and
let him return unto the Lord and He
will have mercy upon him, and to our
God, for He will abundantly pardon"
of we confess our sins He is faithfV,
and just to forgive us our sipX aud TO
cleanse us from all Ynrtghteopsnsss."
"The wages Of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord" uFhanks be
unto God for His g~nspeakabe gift"
