the most efficient to forego all per-
sonal claims which are founded on
their own exceptional powers; 50 that
the wealth which is at present secured
by those powers for themselves, may
i'll the future be divided among the
mass of theirless able BRETHREN"
is it not clear enough that such doc
trlnes, If espoused by a majority in
any country, would lead straight to
chaos? General Lew Wallace made
fortune out of his book Ben Hur.n
According to this clergyman, it was
his duty when the returns came in to
divide, OF rather give up, the proceeds
of his brain and his patient labor for
years in preparing the boot, or never
to have written it in the first place.
Fads come and go. A good many
men who are honest believe in the
Utopia of socialism, that something
can be got for nothing; that there is
divinity about labor which makes it
the rightful heir to the worlds gath
cred wealth; the genius and ambition
which finally enables a man to en-
ploy 100 or 200 men loses all its dis
tinctive rights the moment the enter
prise begins to pay. That, forexample,
should man wear out his life in find
ing a gold mine; should he then en-
ploy 100 men to run a tunnel to strike
the vein, he should pay full miners
wages to these men? But should
their work strike the vein and it should
yield, say, $1,000 per day, then the
proceeds would belong to the 100 men,
for was it not their work that produced
it? This was precisely the claim that
a band of toughs made in Goldfield
year ago last winter. The old SEN
tence was: by the sweat of your face
shall you earn yonr bread" The
modern socialist says: eff you earn
more than you can swallow, then the
rest is ours" 1t says to the industri-
GUS and the gifted: eff you, by brain
and hand, can amass fortune, all
| right, but it must not be for your chill
dren. What you leave is but labor
perpetuated, and it will belong to us
ALL" Socialism is blow aimed di-
rectly at honest ambition and faithful
and gifted industry, at home, and all
the high things that man aspires to
accomplish. Is it not fact that
could it succeed, it would in three
generations disintegrate society and
make wild beasts of men?-Goodwin'

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Alexander Fish Packing and Cold
Storage Plant in South Aber-
deem is Destroyed.

The big plant of the !. M. Alex
totally destroyed by fire Tuesday
night, entailing a loss of about s20,-
600, upon which there was insur-
ance of s10,500.
The fire started about s O'Clock,
and is thought to have originated in
the boiler room. The alarm was
turned in from the Wilson mill. and
by the time the firemen reached the
scene the big building was wrapped
in flames. The fire engine could not
get within working distance owing
to the sawdust streets, and the de-
partment devoted its attention to
preventing the spread of the flames
to adjoining property.
The direction of the wind was
favorable, blowing the sparks
towards the river, else the plant Of
the Aberdeen Lumber &c Shingle Co.
would have been in serious danger.
The burned plant was erected by
J. NJ. Alexander three Gears ago, and
has been used as a cold storage, and
for the packing Of fish for the Euro
pean markets by pateIt process.
The machinery was quite costly, and
a quantity Of fish In the process of
curing was destroyed.

REPUBLICAN
EXTRAVAGANCE
LAST CONGRESS APPROPRIATED
OYER A BILLION DOLLARS.
OF This immense Sum not Dollar
Was Given for River and HarbOr
ImprOvment,t Except in Some Cases
Where Contracts We're Already
in Existence.

Mr.. Bryan has raised the issue of
congressional and departmental eX-
travagance. Departments may be ex-
travagant, just as well as wasteful
congresses, and so may wasteful
presidents.
With cost of living rising faster
than wages doubtless these argu-
ments of Mr. Bryan will appeal to the
people. Isn't it natural, after ALL that
political party, entrenched in power
for many years, should become extra
VACANT? And, really. hasn't the Re-
publican party grown into an extra
vagance most flagrant?
The last session of the Congress
appropriated more than 81 900, ,000,-
900. Yet not dollar was given for
river and harbOr improvements, eX-
cepting on contracts already opened
up by former appropriation bills.
Now, that's what Mr.. Bryan means
when he scores the extravaganza of
the dominant party. He is for no mig
gardly policy; he is for many laud-
able enterprises, and, as some oppon-
ents have cited, Mr.. Bryan's policy
would entail considerable eXpendi-
lures.
But differentiate between that pol
icy which ignored the united pleas OF
toll nd H11o-
ing classes in the river and harbor
national convention last December,
and then gave nearly a hundred mil
lion dollar increase to the military
establishment of the coming year.
Railroad controllers demonstrated
in normal traffic tines before the
panic that they had failed miserably
to provide adequate facilities for
handling the business of the country;
and so eminent an authority as James
J. Hill asserted that, if the roads ex-
tended facilities to meet the normal
period needs, they would have to eX-
pend 100000, 900 in five years for
terminals ana uOuDle-lIdCklHS anu
equipment.
The business men in the national
rivers and harbors convention knew
these things when they asked for an
nual appropriations of $50,000,00O
for ten years to come; why did the
congress deny that request?
Wouldn't you think business man
was extravagant who doubled his ap-
preparation for brass bands to parade
before his offices; and then refused
additional money for elevators and
trucks and runways for the handling
of the increasing volume of goods he
had in his establishment?
Remember nearly 800, 100000
more for military establishments; nc
more for rivers and harbors, was the
record of the last session of the Con-
greSs.

The FALLACY
OF SOCIALISM
TO LEVEL MANKIND, The dream
OF SOCIALISTS.
Their Claim That Everything is Pro-
duCed by Labor is UntenabIe. La
Dor by Itself Never Produced ANY
thing. Three Generations of II
Would Produce BarbariSm.

Socialists claim that they will cast
I 800, 600 votes in November, so rapid
ly is their system gaining the endorse
ment of men. OF course, we cannot
foresee much that is to be, but so alb
surd seems the claim that vast num-
bers of men are being converted to
socialism that we can not believe it..
For the real aim of socialism is, first,
to level mankind, which cannot be.
| This is the dream of honest socialists.
They will tell you that all they desire
is an equal opportunity among all
men. When we tell them that all
men in this country have equal oppor-
tunities, they say that it is not true !;
that A has a large capital to begin
with which he did not earn; that with
it he can oppress and handicap b from
the start. That brings out the fact
THAI in the thought of the socialist the
accumulated wealth of the world be-
longs to all the people alike; their
reasoning being that, as labor has pro-
duced everything, everything is due
the laborer. But labor by itself has
never accomplished anything. 1t has
been the directing minds behind the
labor that has produced the results.
The mind that invented the shovel and
the hoe doubled and quadrupled the
effectiveness of labor in a day. The
old-fashioned loom wove fabrics for
1000 years. Arkwright, by his inven-
ton, increased the capacity of the
spinner thousand fold. The Creator
said, "Let there be light" and the
universe was flooded in splendor in a
moment. Must Arkwright or his heirs
divide with the world? Had that
been the rule, would Arkwright have
wasted years of toll to perfect his in
ventiOn?
A socialist said to the writer recent
ly: "If the socialist party were tp OBJ
tain power, we would parallel the
overland railroads, pay for the work
and material in paper money, and then
run the road, charging only enough
for fares and freight to meet current
expenses and repairs" And he asked
what would be wrong about that?
Well, there are 500, 900 stockholders
in that road, some of them decrepit
men and women, that would be pen
niless were the road to be made of no
value.
There are two kinds of socialism,
one seeks to confiscate the gathered
wealth of the world, for that is the
real aim, no matter what denials are
made. Then there is a Christian So
cialism, and clergyman who is an
evangel in the cause, after admitting
that no two men are alike in their at
tributes and requirements, explains
that Christian socialism "does not
aim at making men equal in respect
of their ability, for to do that would
be impossible; but it aims at producing
an equality of practical kind by in
ducing the men whose abilities are

per cent, and an increase of bank
much more. This would mean re-
newed prosperity and what is of more
Importance it would mean stability.
The theory that corrupt banker
could profit by the guaranty fund has
no foundation. In Oklahoma only
man of good precedents, of good repu-
tation and of good association is per-
mitted to have state charter. He is
not permitted to borrow from his own
bank nor make excessive loans. Be-
fore the guaranty fund could be in
jured by his failure every dollar of
his own money. of his directors
money, and their double liability
must have been exhausted.
A big banker from Chicago has OPP
posed the guarantee plan on the the
ory that this plan would make the de-
positor in small bank as safe as in
big bank, and would be more ad-
vantageOus to the small bank that
to the big bank. The present line
of deposits in big and little banks
alike is composed of depositors each
of whom individually feels entirely
safe now And the guaranty plan
would not change these depOsitOrs. 1t
would, however, prevent their making
n N 40 f,It n tl,t hn pt
plan would benefit big and little
banks alike by bringing out boarded
funds, especially the small banks. The
big banks would benefit also because
their additional funds would be re-
deposited by the small banks in the
larger banks according to their usual
custom.
The ordinary depOsitor is influ-
enced by his environments, by his ac-
quaintance with the officers of bank
with its directors, with it's depositors,
or some personal reasons. The larger
the bank the greater these attractions
and the more the bank will benefit.
The bankers, of all the people in
the world should cordially favor the
guarantee plan.
The advantage to the ordinary citi-
en- whose cash is deposited is too OBJ
vious to need argument There are
fifteen million depOsitOrs in the Unit
ed States and this safeguard and
guarantee is of the greatest import
ance to the business life of the hum
bic citizen Why should not the citi-
zen depOsitor be safe? 1t costs the
bank nothing. Why should he be left
unprotected against the possible folly
or actual crime of an occasional bank
officer. His protection is beneficial
to the honest banks. Why should he
be unsafe when the United States and
every municipality requires security
for their deposits?
Why should his peace of mind be
forgotten and his rights neglected
when the guaranty plan would not
only serve his interests but would
equally serve the banking class, but
what is of far more importance, would
give stability to our national COM
merce and permanent prosperity.
Panic means hundreds of thousands
thrown out of employment, and it
never should be permitted to recur
in this country. The guarantee of
deposits will absolutely and effec-
tually prevent future financial pan
les.
1t will cost the national banks
nothing If the present tax on circu-
lation be used for guarantee fund.
The annual loss per annum to de-
positors of the national banks, based
on the comptroller's records, of the
last ten years, is only about $4,000
