SOCIALISTS ARE
NOW ACTIVE
Debs Issues Statement and
Prepares for Campaign in
Western States

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
GIRARD, Kansas, March 11-With
the national campaign over and the
two big parties starting on their four
year sleep the Socialist party to-day
began It's preparations for a campaign
Of education to last during the next
four years. which its leaders expect to
greatly strengthen their cause. Eugene
v. Debs. the quadrenniai presidential
candidate Of that party, began to-day
his examination OF reports compiled.
showing the Socialist vote cast at the
last election. He will, so soon as he
has succeeded in digesting it. Suggest
to National Secretary J. Mahlen Barnes
just when the organizers OF the party
shall be sent and one place that he has
already made up his mind that there
is great field for work is in Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska.
Socialism is gaining among the farm
ers there very rapidly, ho declares, and
the organizers can secure many con-
verts. Debs hates both the Democratic
and the Republican parties impartially,
and he declares openly that both are
controlled by the so-called interests.
From lis point of view the new ad-
ministration at washington Is perfect
ly satisfactory to the Socialists of the
nation. In explaining his position on
that point, Debs made the following
statement:
"The new cabinet is as it should be
from the standpoint of Socialist who
knows that both the Democratic aud
Republican parties have betrayed the
working man. There is not a work.
ingman in it. Why should there be
when this is not an administration o:
farmers or workers. If these classes
had sense enough to serve in a cabinet
they would never have elected Mr.
Taft nod Hould they have elected Mr.
Bryan, but would have chosen a Presi-
dent from their own numbers.
''The new administration at Wash
| ington Is made up exclusively o.
wealth. ana representatives of wealth
Most of the cabinet are lawyers, sew
eral have been openly trust lawyers
They can be depended on to serve then
class and their clients.
"The cabinet numbers in it's member.

which is proof, if any were needed, thai
the interests and the aims Of the two
parties are both capitaiistic and thai
they are at all times ready TO unit;
and afiliate TO keep labor in the mar

The blackboard.

''There are few persons who know
how the name OF blackboard came to
be applied TO a vehicle" says a writer
'It was away back in the twenties.
when the transportation OF goods.
wares and merchandise was almost
entirely by wagon. A DIR. Buck was
then In charge OF military stores en-
route TO army posts in the southwest
In east Tennessee much difficulty was
experienced by reason Of the rough
roads. and there were frequent mis-
haps. mostly from wagons overturning.
DR.. Buck overhauled the outfit. and.
abandoning the wagon bodies. long
boards were set directly on the axles
or hung below, and the stores were
loaded in such manner that there
were no further delays from break
downs, and the stores safely reached
their destinations. In special emergen-
cy, too. the load could be shifted OF
taken of in hurry. DIR. Bucks ex-
ample was followed, especially when
roads were rough. and soon much haul
ing was done by the use OF wheels,
axles and boards only. Now we have
the blackboard, both in carriage and au-
tomobile forms. conforming closely to
the original idea, though few suspect
the source OF it."-chicago News.

The Number Eourt.en h Erano..

So far as France is concerned. It is
the number fourteen that has played a
conspicuous and generally portentous
part in her history. On May IL, 1854
the Rue de la Ferronnerie was enlarged
by order OF Henri H.; and four times
fourteen years later Henri ~. was as
sassinated there by Ravaillac-namely,
on May IL, 1910. Henri had lived four
times fourteen years. fourteen weeks
and four times fourteen days-i. e.. If.
ty-six years and five months. Then
Henris son. Louis Kill, died May Ia.
1643 (the same day and month as his
fathers. And 1643 added together
equals fourteen, just as 1868 (the year
OF the birth of Henri IV) equals four
teen. Louis XIV ascended the throne
1643. which added together equals
fourteen and similarly the year OF his
death (iT15) equals. ~

A Lesson In Grammar.

In certain mountainous region the
teachers are appointed with little ques-
ton concerning their grammatical
orthodoxy. Occasionally. however,
wave OF school reform sweeps through
the valleys. and undesired examina-
tons are thrust upon embarrassed ped
agogues.
1t was during one OF these periods OF
intellectual discomfort that the follow
ing sentence was given: "The bird
few over the house" Accompanying
It was the query, ais few a regular
or an irregular verb?"
One teacher after another shook his
head hopelessly despite the slow.
thought inspiring fashion in which the
examiner repeated the perplexing fact
that "The - bird = few - over - the =
house."
Finally a man rose in the rear, and,
with the assurance Of one who puts
his trust in logic and a practical knowi-
edge OF natural history, be volunteered
a solution. Said he:
''1f that bird which few over the
house was a wild goose, it went in a
straight regular line, so the verb is
regular. But if it was a peckwoOd
that 1ew over the house, then it went
in crooked. zlgzag line. and so the
verb is Irregular"
