SOCIALIST LOCAL RECEIVED rs
AccEssIoNs AS RESULT OF Mr..
CHASE'S ADDRESS.

The lecture on Socialism, Monday
night was attended by a good crowd
Of men and women. Mr.. Chase gave
clear outline Of our present economic
system, and particularly the present
Industrial crisis. He says that the
causes Of the latter are not, as many
assume, presidential campaigns, but
that there are deeper economic causes
behind; that socialism is here to re-
move those causes, and this is ques-
ton that must be met by the American
people in the near future. The speak
er also discussed several misconcep-
tons of socialism, among the most
idiotic, he thought, is the talk about
dividing up which would be just as
sensible as, for instance, if everybody
would go to the postofice or fire de-
partment today and demand their
shares handed out to them, just be-
cause those institutions are operated
for the benefit of all
Further, he staetd that under social
ism all the industries will be operated
along the same lines as the institu-
lions mentioned, namely, owned by
the people and for the service of all
not for the profit Of a few.
The socialist local at Bismarck re-
ceived rs new members at the meet
ing, and it will probably be arranged
to have meeting every Sunday after
noon, to which everybody will be in
vited.

Whilesthe election of the majority
of the new city aldermen was not
favored by Mayor Smyth. whose term
holds for another year. it is believed
that the new council will work in
harmony with the mayor on most
matters. DR.. Smyth was elected
mayor not as democrat, but as q
good citizen who, it was believed. as
chief executive. would endeavor to
do what was right. There was a
demand for cleaner Bismarck. more
business-like methods and a tigten-

element that opposed him would, in
the minds of substantial citizens,

afford to defy the law and the days
Of wide-open policy had passed. DR..
Smyth has his faults but they are
minor ones. He means well. He is
honest. He believes in the business
of the city being TRANSACTED in the
open and in lawful, regular man
1er. Accused sometimes Of being
stubborn and narrow on some propo-
sitions he has been conscientious
and were the conditions the same
today as they were year ago it is
believed the same result would fol-
low. The Tribune does not believe
it possible or even wise to draw strict
party lines in municipal affairs but,
as champion of the republican or
ganizatfon generally, it realizes very
forcibly the influence exerted in be-
half of the general organization by
even the most minor officials, and
all things being equal-no emergen-
cy or unusual conditions existing
republicans, rather than democrats,
should be favored. But blind parti-
zanship sometimes results in the tri-
umph Of most vicious policies and
corrupt practices, and thus the i'm
portance Of the welfare Of the com
munity of the independent, intelli-
gent voter.

Alderman-elect Orr of the first
ward is substantial citizen-at the
head of the city's leading wholesale
grocery house-and may safely be
considered as a conservative member
of the council and champion of
those policies that look to a greater
and better Bismarck. His opponent,
Mick O'Connor, a popular Bismarck
boy, gave him a hard chase, but it
was a clever contest.

The Indiana democratic platform
says that Mr.. Bryan "by force of his
splendid intellect, his noble manhood,
his matchless eloquence, his purity
of life, has not only become easily
the greatest citizen of the republic,
but an absolute moral force in the
world" Two lickings have produced
such grand results the st. Louis
Globe Democrat thinks it would be
a cosmic crime to deny another.

Col. Littles platform of principles
has been favorably commented on
by the state press as a rule, even
newspapers opposed to him having a
good word to say for it. The plat
form is broad and sound and the
fact is there is so little opportunity
to find just fault with it that all
fair minded republicans must per-
force indorse it.

Under the primary law each elect
or votes directly for the nomination
of candidate for United States SEN
ator, and after the nomination-or
election as the case may be-the
members of the legislature of differ
ent political faiths are supposed to
vote for the choice Of the people.
Thus the following from the Billings
County Herald is pertinent: 'The
candidates for the legislature are
occasionally asked by voter whom
they intend to vote for for U. S. SEN
ator. Under the new primary law
each legislative candidate pledges
himself to vote for the candidate for
the q. S. senate who receives the
nomination at the primaries, hence
it is neither proper for a voter to
ask pledge of that kind nor for a
legislative candidate to pledge him
self to vote for any particular candi-
date. He is already pledged to vote
for the peoples choice for that high

Comments on House.

VIM. Miles House of Wyndmere is a
candidate for the republican nonina-
ton for secretary of state. Mr. House
is the most candid man that has yet
appeared in the political ring. He says
he has not heard any loud call from
the people-but he wants the office,
and isn't afraid to say so.
'Rah, Bill, 'rah!
You are the stuff.
You know what you want,
And that's enuff.
Your platforms as plain
AS the nose on your face,
And we wish you all kinds of luck
In the race.
Gee whizz, Bill!
Some candidates give us a pain
In the region of the diaphragm,
With their platforms and promises and
bounce game;
So it's real refreshing, don't you see,
In this self-seeking day,
When man says, candidlee,
He wants Office for tine pay.

feeling is growing among the rank

is really very little Of consequence

though the insurgent papers and can

done away with the possibility of

and the shot hit both the professor and his
favorite study. Moreover, there was more
than suspicion of a pun about it, which
made Douglas rather proud. :.
In accordance with the understanding ar
rived at, each boy took his chalk and wrote
the sentence blindfold. At Wills suggestion
they all disguised their handwritings.
When the inscriptions were complete, they
opened their eyes and inspected the result.
1t was rather mixed, but otherwise satlsfac-
tory. Neither could point with any certainty
to his own specimen.
By dint of careful wiping and an occasional
touch of chalk very respectable line OF
writing was ultimately left. Douglas felt tri-
umphant; he was proud of his ingenuity
What fun when Hewitt sees til he ex-
claimed. 81 shall burst out laughing, I'm
afraid
"'Twon't be laughing matter if he finds
out who did it." rejoined Will sententiously.

we shan,t take any notice. Why, if you come

The boys saw that their duty was to keep
silent. 1t was not their place to palter with
the truth.

THE WONDERFUL STEED

No cracking whip or iingling spur
To their accoutrements belong.
Through city street and country lane,
Noiseless, and swift, and sure they fly
No neighing call or sharp command
Strikes on the ear as they 60 by.
Though long may be the road and rough,
His gallant courser takes its way,
And tires not out or ever flags,
From early morn till close Of day.
It pants not for the cooling shade,
Nor longs to Craze in pastures green
In fact, it is model steed-
No horse like it was ever seen.
A pony team or harnessed goat,
Was once his daily, wishful thought;
But they are nothing to compare
With his bicycle papa bought.
Bestride its back away he goes
A horse and chariot all in one
Through wooded park and open plain,
As fast as feetest hound can run.

boys making for the door
1t was false alarm. Douglas was about
to recommenee when a thought struck him.
1t seemed childish to write down home truths
of this. kind and then wipe them out; it
would be much better fun if they could let

He suggested it to the others.

all write down the same thing blindfold; then
we'll rub two of them out, and we shan't
know ourselves even who wrote the one left

They saw; but Chauncey pointed out prac-
teal difficulties. II they wrote blindfold
everything would get mixed up. Douglas
showed how even then, by judicious wiping
out, an intelligent residuum would remain
They experimental; it succeeded.
Then came the important question what
should they write? It must not be too of
fensive or the whole class would be made to
suffer; at the same time, the sentence must
convey distinct reflection.

epigrammatic sentence, but Douglas genius

room.
They took care not to be the frs to enter
the room when the bell rang, and pretended
to be the victims of immense surprise when
they caught sight of the blackboard with its
inscription.
The class was in Babel; the boys were in
high excitement over such piece OF rash IN
trepidty. They expected every moment TO
see some boy rush forward and wipe out
the bold words, but no one stirred. even when
Professor Hewitt's step was heard along tne
corridor.
The hearts of our three scapegraces beat

He gave slight start of surprise, glanced
