EXTENSION PLAN Is LOST
Petition Will Not Be Circulated After
Monday, Declare Members of
Two Organizations

Members of the Royal Arch and the

declared that the efforts of the men
who are behind the movement for a

Many who have signed the petition

the petition was only for an ordinance
to be passed by the council and did not
understand that it was an initiative
and demanded a special election.
The Royal Arch and the Whole

UNCLE SAM AS A SOCIALIST.


Experiment in Coectvisn on the Canal Zone
There is a little country from which have Just
returned, some 1000 miles to the south of New
York City where everything is done in new and
wonderful ways. There the government is all in all
and though the individual does not seem to wther
the race is and more.
This interesting land is the Canal Zone, a strip
OF territory fortyseven miles long and ten broad
across the Isthnus of Panama. 1t is owned abso-
lutely by the United States, aud Uncle Sam may
be found there working night and day at all the
jobs usually left to private initiative
Does one want food? Uncle Sam furnishes and
delivers it at prices about the same as in New
York Does one want food cooked and served?
Uncle Sam is ready at half hundred places with
meals at prices from ten to thirty cents apiece. He
runs railroad and steamship line and a weekly
newspaper He gives free quarters to all his help
ers and their families provides them with cloth
ing at cut prices. He manufactures ice and sells
it for next to nothing. He bakes bread pies and
cakes and delivers them at consumers DOORS Every
week he turns out and delivers more than 500 gal
IONS OF ice cream. He imports and sells Havana
cigars az the price of Connecticut limitations He
washes, sarches and irons linen and mends presses
and sews buttons outergarments There isn't
much that can be done for creature comfort that he
doesn't do; and all his helpers (some 30 900 ner-
son6), along with their families (some 10000 or
l2O0G more, are sharers in this governmental pater-
nalism. 1t is not socialism, because among other
things it lacks that fundamental basis of socialism
democracy; but it is the completest and greatest
experiment in the governmental collectivism that
the world has ever seen.-W. j. Client in the New
York Sun.
Ed Comment: Where does the 'collectivism
come in? Uncle Sam owns everything and
bosses everything. When he buys he buys
for himself; when he SELLS the individual pur-
chaser pays. He hires people to dig, build
cook, wash, keep store. He pays each hireling
a wage What each one buys from u.
Sam becomes the private property of the pur-
chaser. What each person earns as laborer
for Uncle Sam, becomes instantaneously the
private property of said laborer.
We fail to recognize the 'collectivism" We
simply see case Of Big Owner, transacting
business on a Big Scale
(Of course, we will be pelted by shower
of Socialist letters about this)

Liberia and rIle Dem0cYc, IS.

Write to your congressman and ask them
why they did not oppose the appointment of
the Commission to Liberia Make yourself
felt
The Democrats united with the Republi-
cans and appropriated $4,000 of your money
to pay the expense Of the black and white
negroes who are to go to Africa to study con-
ditions in the niger 'republc' of Liberia.
Why did Congress do this
BECAUSE BOOKER WASHINGTON
DEMANDED 1T.
Is it any of our business how badly the ne
groes Of Liberia manage their affairs? Ger
tainly not Do we care COntine ntal what
they do and how they do it, over there in
Africa No, we don't
But because Booker Washington got busy
and made clamorous harangues in which he
declared that eve owed it to Liberia" to act
as wet-nurse to that degraded spot, Congress
appoints Commission, and thus commits it
self to the Booker Washington view of the
case.
That $4,000 appropriation is the fore
runner of others that will milk your treasury
of millions of dollars for the benefit of the
Liberia niggers.
The Commission is composed partly OF ne
groes, and when one of our proud War-vessels
steams away, with the commissioners on
board, negro will be officially in command
of the ship
Nice mess, isn't it?
To rub it in on us, Booker Washington dis
dained to accept place on the Commission,
and directed Taft to appoint his "Private Sec
retary," coon named Emmett Scott.

ORE VEIN IS GUT
 IN BOULDER MINE

Four feet of ore of fair grade at Boulder bay has been cut in d drift which William Egan is running to complete the annual labor required by law on the group of twenty-six claims belonging to the Reynolds-AI- aska Development Company. A sample of the ore weighing several hundred pounds will be sent to Val dez in few days. Mir. Egan came up last night on the Elsie
 After inspecting the large specimen of ore which came from the Land lock bay Reynolds property, taken out in the course of assessment work there, MT. Egan stated that the Boul- der bay ore is very similar and in his opinion equally as good.
 The vein just cut at Boulder bay was previously tapped by diamond drill. Instead of following the drill hole the company managementd drifted beyond 1t, then turned toward it again but had not reached the vein when work was suspended. Egan sunk shaft about fifteen feet at the end of the drift and continued in the same direction and found the ore af- ter going about thirty feet. The drift cut the vein diagon ally and Egan's men are now follow ing the vein. The drift has passed under and beyond the diamond drill hole.
 All the work described is in the lower tunnel. which starts a short distance from the water line where the big boulder was found. It is the opinion of mining men familiar with Boulder bay, including all those there now, that the ore body lies under the present workings. They believe the main ledge begins up the hill, dips downward and strikes under the wa ter across the head of fhe bay. The dip Of the rocks and the mineral out croppings indicate that this may be the case. Egan and his men believe the vein just crossed is a stringer, or little more, and that much larger ledge exists.

 Browning and Mrs. Carmichael have maintained illicit relations, and they were desirous of eloping but neither had funds. Rev.

BONAP PARTE 4 LIAR
 DECLARES PULLMAN

Washington, Jan. 15-United States Senator Tillman, before the senate this morning, charged Attorney-G en- eral Bonaparte with uttering a delib- crate falsehood when the latter de- clared that the senator had used his position to obtain possession of gov ernment lands in Oregon. Senator Tlllman declared that he can prove by the records that the government had granted the land to the public on condition that $2.5O an acre be paid and that this grant was made before Tillman was in a position to exert the pressure of influence.
 This morning was the first time in many months that Senator Tillman has indulged in the vituperation for which he has become famous and his remarks created sensation. The senator was unsparing in his con demnation of the attorney-general.
