HEBREW FESTIVAL
BEGINS ON FRIDAY

The observance of the Feast Of
Passover will begin on Friday II. This
Festival, so widely observed by the
Jews, commentaries the deliverance
Of the first born Of Israel from the
judgment wrought upon the Egyp
tians and the liberation of the Jews
from Egyptian bondage. Interesting
features Of the festival are the fam
lily services and seder or meal, the re-
cital of the Haggadah, the search for
the leavened bread in the homes and
the eating Of the matzoth or unleav-
ened bread.
The Passover lamb in the time OF
the Second Temple was killed witt,
great ceremony. The seder or even
ing meal takes place on the eve OF
Passover. The meal takes the place
of the paschal lamb while the family
service in connection with it. including
the reading Of the Haggadah, tells tho
history of Israers trials and redemp-
ton and closes with praises in glori-
fcation Of God.

FARMERS AND SOCIALISM.

FARMERS connected with the Stanton Grange
i for some time have been. discussing So
cial and industrial topics with much intelligence
and profit One of the good things about the
grange is that its meetings are often devoted 70
the interchange of thought which leads to sell
Improvement and a general understanding OF the
questions of the day. Because of their peculiar
independence the farmers are enabled to say
what they think without fear of results
Lately the Stanton Grangers have debated So
cialsm 1t is we'll for them to look into this
subject for it is one that is under worldwide con-
sideration. In fact, Socialism is a question which
the public will have to contend with in the not
distant future Socialist propaganda is the one
of the so-called reforms that is making the most
headway to-day.
Socialism covers a variety of topics hard to
define A person may support some planks OF
the Socialist active platform without in any way
being genuine Socialist. The farmers OF Stan
ton as they have done, will doubtless approve
some Of the objects for which the Socialists are
striving In fact, Socialist ideas, miscalled find
their way into most party platforms
But the real Socialist is unlikely to make
progress among the farmers. In fact, Socialists
have been unable to devise means Of appeal to
farmers, and their activity has been, therefore,
confined chiefly to cities.
Present-day German Soeialism-and all Social
ism comes from twas founded on the theories
OF Karl Marx, who held that under the 'iron law
OF nature" complete monopoly of manufactur-
ing production and business will develop-us-
trated by the growth of trusts and large depart
ment stores. Marx held that it will be only nee
essary to replace private monopoly with public
monopoly in order to usher in Socialism That
is the keynote of pure socialistic doctrine Marx
had other theories supporting his contention, one
OF which IS that the misery of the masses is in
creasng' along with this monopoly of production.
The Masses he held, would finally revolt and
seize capital and the means Of product l)n.
But these theories have led to a dNaffection
among the Socialists themselves, as shown by a
division Of Socialist members Of the German
Reichstag into the Bebel and the Bernstein
group. Bernstein holds that Socialism will
come. not as a result of general monopoly and in
creasing misery, but on the contrary as a result
of improved conditions In fact, Bernstein de-
ries the premises Of Marx-denies the great con
centration of industry and declares that modern
development shows large business establishments
growing up beside smaller ones.
Laurence Gronlund another Socialist author
ity, in his recent "New Economy" changes his
views expressed years before in his "Co-operative
Commonwealth in which latter work he de-
clared the farmers would be driven to Socialism
because Of the growth Of large and bonanza
farms. Rather in his latest work does he think
that the tendency is in the opposite direction. and
that the farmers will not be reached by real So
cialism,

Johnson as second choice. There is
no reason why the State Convention

for good feeling and best wishes for
party good is ripe. The wrangle over
Mr.. Bryan should be closed. If the
nomination Of candidates cannot be
discussed quietly they should be drop
ped. The feeling already engendered
is bad, and some time viii be required
to bring good feeling that should exist
between brother editors. 1t is proper
to discuss important events but wrong
when not done harmoniously.
The Gray Democrats are in the ma
iority and it would be in good grace
for the Bryanites to gracefully ac-
quiesce TO the majority. At the ap-
preaching meeting Of the State Con-
vention every effort should be made to
moliify the dissatisfied.
