The Literary Digest of June 5th
publishes two maps Of the United
States showing in diagram how
the tide against the liquor traffic
has swept the country in the past
fifteen years. In 1898 there were
only three dry" states in the
country and some seven or eight
had local option. The rest of the
map was "wet." At the present
time only four states are entirely
open to the liquor traffic under H.
cense, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New
Mexico and Utah. The rest of the
map is either dry or under local
option, with the "dry" predomi
mating. Now if prohibition il
nothing but a crazy fad it would
appear to US from this representa-.
ton that the whole country had
gone fairly loony on the subject.

School Social Centers.

Two years ago the people of Ro-
chester resolved to get their mon.
ey's worth out of their school
building. They thought it waste
ful to lock them up 1s hours in
every "a, and four months every
year. So II societies, from boot
blacks to .clubmen, undertook to
establish social centers in the
schools. Last month Gov. Hughes
went to see what these two years
had wrought, and said: II am
more interested in what you are
are doing, and what it stands tor,
than in anything else in the world"
The story which the League of
Civic Clubs has just published
warrants such language. ''You
are buttressing the foundations of
democracy" the Governor declar-
ed, 1t was "a return to the Little
Red Schoolhouse," that Rochester
had established, a gathering place

New York City offered some o1

Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1909-06-09

We cannot agree with tho Inde-
pendent that the sole purpose of a
protective tariff is to enable certain
corporations to grow immensely
rich at the expense of the people,
who, as the Independent remarks,
are not themselves materially bene-
fitted by such a tariff. The real
purpose Of the protective tariff is
to establish monopoly Of indus
trial production, whereby the
American producer will be enabled
to supply the home market with
out interference from foreign CON-
petition by making the cost of for
eign productions, through the tar
if, higher than the cost of our
own. We will admit, for the sake
of argument, that the consumer is
the one who must eventually pay
this difference; but who is the con-
sumers the man engaged in pro.
duction. This rule of restraint
upon the consumer that prevents
him from buying where he can
buy the cheapest Iinflicts itself up
on no particular individual, class
or section, but the entire people
share it in the same degree; it CON-
pels each one of us to support the
monopoly for the benefit of all. 1t is
a pol icy which is largely socialistic
in its applications, but affecting
only the society of our own coun-
try, and the workingman takes his
share with the capitalist, with this
difference, that the number of the
former is steadily increasing, while
the number of the latter is growing
smaller and smaller under the ten
dency of concentration in the oper-
alton of production and distribu-
tion, and which necessarily con-
centrates, also the share of capital
in the levy upon all to sustain the
monopoly of the home market, and
only thus far does the protective
tariff aid in the piling up of great
individual fortunes. We might
add, that were this system carried
on to its ultimate extremity, that
it would not be beyond the bounds
of possibility under the process of
capitalistic concentration, that the
share of capital from this assess
ment would accrue to a small
coterie of men, or even single in
dividual. That the workingman-
who, as we have already stated, il
both the producer and consumer,
lis better satisfied under this con-
dition of national monopolizatior
of the home market is evidenced
by the immigration of the foreig1
laborer to this country, who know
, that under this system his condi
} ton will be better than in coun
tries where this monopoly is incom
plete or wholly lacking. We know

Wills and Socialism.

Henry H. Rogers did not endow
a college, found hospital nor put
a single cent of his millions accu-
mulated from the people into any
channel where the people would be
benefited by it-save a little
school fund for his native town.
Under the law and custom of our
ancestors, in the shadow of which
we still live, this was his right.
He could do what he chose with
what he had gathered to himself
under the operation of our CON-
mon law and government. The
double sscredness of the right of
private property, more precious
than human life, for blood has
been shed like water to protect it,
is recognized by our laws, and ex-
tends from the living to the dead.
Not only can the accumulation of
more than his share of this worlds
goods do as be may please with
them while yet alive, but he may
say what shall be done with them
at his death and for years after
wards.
Socialists bold that this is all
wrong in principle. They vary in
their ideas as to what extent So
ciety should 60 in regulating, mod
flying, or abolishing the right Of
private property, but even the
most liberal of them deny the right
of the accumulation of wealth to
pass it along in bulk when he dies.
They hold that there at least
should be a distribution, or more
properly speaking, dissemination
of it, at the death Of the accumu-
lator. This idea finds expression
in the demand for income and in
heritance taxes, by which at least
a portion of the special accumula-
ton of wealth gathering men is
taken possession of by the Govern
ment for the common welfare,
demand that is made by thousands
of excellent people who have no
idea whatever that they are social
istic in making it.
Even the courts are beginning
| to feel this socialistic drift and free
ly set aside wills that seek to regu-
late too closely the posthumous
use of the will makers wealth.
There is especially general frown-
ing upon the perpetuation of for
tunes by trust control, such as was
provided for in the will of Marshall
Field. There will be general criti-
cism of the equally intense selfish
ness of the Rogers will. That this
action coming just at this time.
when the subject of Inheritance and
income taxes is live one, will in

gress there can be no doubt. We

TWO LESSONS.
3@*gEgE

A plant in the window grew and grew,
But it yielded naught that was fair to view;
Its form was ugly, its leaves held stings
That pierced and tortured like evil things.
And daily and yearly, it seemed akin
To life of sel6shness, hate and sin,
And on blazing sunshine it joyed to feed,
As if gathering fire for deadlest deed.
But at last one day rich perfume
Rose incense.like that filled the room,
And 10! on the plant flower fair,
Like the spirit of purity resting there.
Then thought how the years had dragged
apace,
Ere the birth of that blossom of marvellous
grace,
And saw in the flower, so wondrously
planned,
Two beautiful lessons, simple yet grand.
The ugliest shape may be found to hold
A soul of the purest, lovliest mold,
And blossom time comes, be it soon or late,
For him who has patiencs to work and wait.

There will be a large number OF Mil

evening. Arrangements have been
made for them to take the special Lake
Shore train from the LaSalle street
station at $40 o'clock this evening
This train will also bring out a large
number OF Chicago sports
tits expected that the city will be
invaded by hundreds of Chicago fight
followers this afternoon. Manager Con
Moore expects to have Mika's hall filled
to the doors.
The lighting of the hall has been
improved and arrangements will be
made for seating several hundred peo-
pie on the stage. The preliminartes
are both good and the announcement
is made that they will begin at Sis on
the dot.
One OF the Chicago papers had the
following to say regarding the bout:
Chicago f. Interested.
This is one of the best near scraps
tabled in several months, and it is
thought a goodly crowd of fight fans
will make the trip across the state line
to watch affairs. Clabby has come
along with rapid strides since his early
career inn Milwaukee, a recent draw in
twenty rounds with Jimmy Gardner,
one of the greatest welter weights in
the business. having doomed his stock
materially. They think so highly OF
the young man in Milwaukee that they
are willing to bet on him against any
of them

himself in training and is reported
down to low notch. Indeed. il is

than a lightweight. Those close to
him In his training say that he can dc
