Real Socialism.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Mr.. John A. Crowlays letter which ap-
peared in last Mondays Herald bears
the unmistakable ring Of sincerity. That
he thoroughly believes what he has writ
ten IS quite evident But the sincerity
Of the writer Is not the only important
consideration. The question. Are his
statements TUe?" Is much more impor-
tant in fact than rs he slncere?"
Even a cursory examination Of Mr.
CrowLeys letter will show several IN
deniable errors. For instance, he takes
the A. F. of L, and Mr. Gompers to task
FOR Condemning the execution of Ferrer,
the "agitator OF seditiOn and murder"
according TO Mr.. Crowley who objects
to this action OF Mr.. GOmpers and his
council in the absence Of proof other
than that which was obtained from
newspaper reports"
How does Mr.. Crowley know that Prof.
Ferrer was an "agitator OF sedition and
MURDER" Has he any other proof than
those same newspaper reports that are
so unreliable? In making this dreadful
charge on evidence that Mr. Crowley
himself admits is unreliable. against l.
man who is now in the grave, is not he
much more culpable than Mr.. Gompers.
whom, II he erred, erred at least on the
side Of kindness and sympathy?
Mr.. Crowley asserts that socialists the
world over contemplate, among other
things, the forced equal distribution Of
goods and social conditions. Can Mr..
Crowley cite any passage from any So
ciallst platform Of any country or from
any recognized works on socialism to
substantive this claim? Again. chal-
lenge him before the many readers of
this paper TO do so.
Ii may be that m the early DAYS OF
socialism, when the science was I'm its
infancy, some advocates Of the Broth
erhood OF Man CUtopian socialism,
believed in communal possession. Mod
ern socialism, however. absolutely re-
pudiates such doctrine.
In lieu OF facts and figures. Mr. Crow
ley quotes the words Of great states
men The words Of great statesmen are
shifting sands 10 found an argument
upon. George III Of England was a
much greater statesman than Won Bue-
low. for George was a king and Won Bue-
low only a prime minister. George Wash
ington was a great statesman and a
great man. Yet these two great men
held absolutely opposing, mutually ex-
elusive opinions upon the greatest ques-
ton OF their time
Europe" says Mr.. Crowley, has af-
forded the most fertile soil for the de-
velopment and growth Of the pernicious
doctrines Of socialism" What are these
pernicious doctrines Mr. Crowley? I
challenge you before the many readers
OF these words TO quote one doctrine
that you yourself will be willing to cali
pernlcious from any work listed in the
catalogue OF several thousand volumes
recognized by socialists as reliable.
MT. crowley may not be asleep at HIS
post Che is a telegraph OPERATOR. but he
has certainly thrown the switch the
wrong way. ]. H. MARYLAND.

Cook and Peary.
y me Washington Herald

Editor The Washington Herald;
I want to congratulate The Washington
Herald on the impartial manner IN which
it has published all the news bearing on
the polar controversy between the ad-
herents OF DIT Cook and Commander
Peary.
have been a constant reader Of news
items relative TO these rival explorers,
IN papers OF many cities, and in none
has the spirit for a square deal been
more manifest than in The Washington
Herald.
/ note in your leading column on the
first page Of to-day's issue an article
headed Scientists Want View Of Rec
ords," and the subject matter Of same
has greatly interested me.
The National Geographic Society dis
claims any intention Of discrediung DR..
Cook. Well enough. II would seem the
height OF folly TO discredit Or. Cook at
this time, when there have been no
grounds for it. and particularly 50. when
he has been acclaimed by the majority
Of his countrymen as the disCOverer OF
the pole.
But when the National Geographic So
ciety poses before the public as being
unbiased" the last straw has been
reached; and its past utterances VIII dis
prove its present contention.
The article goes on 10 state we
awarded Commander Peary a medal for
his polar achievements, and feel that II
Dr. Cook has accomplished the same feat
he also should be honored." Further
more, il IS the desire OF the society 10
satisfy It's membership Of the truth of
the matter. Ye gods. Who flung the
lie at Cook? And who have doubted the
truth Of his claims except the adherents
Of Peary?
DR.. Cooks attitude throughout a most
trying situation has been one Of polite
dignity, and he has proved himself an
American gentleman. His bare word 10
a discriminating public viii have more
weight than the hysterical action Of Com
mander PeaTy. relative To the claim OF
discovery, even though backed by so
eminent a body Of scientists as the Ma
tional Geographic Society. If the Uni
versity Of Copenhagen extends 90 mem
bers OF the National Geographic Society
the courtesy they request Of being present
at the time Of the examination OF DR..
/ Cooks records, II will be a further evil
dence Of fair play by the adherents OF
/ Cook, and leave no chance for criticism
I OF the finding OF the Danish university
/ But when the claims OF DIT Cook are
/ passed on by that body Of scientists, Il
favorable TO DR.. Cook, I would respect
I fully suggest % the American society that
/ DR.. Cook should not be also hOnurei,
but that he be acclaimed the discoverer
I Of the north pole. and that his achieve
ment be IN no way linked with any
proved claim Of Commander Peary. II

New York. Nov. Toward the end Of
the week before last and at the beginning
OF last week the tendency Of the stock
market was TO become duh. one reason
was doubtless the circumstance that in
this period the stock exchange holiday
here and another in London combined
with the usual end of he week sus-
pension Of business to restrict the vol
une Of market dealings. The temporary
gravitation of the market was toward
inertia but a revival later in the week
changed this.
Attention was again conspicuouSly
drawn in Wall street iast week. or at
least In the fore part OF the week. to the
fact that buyers Of stocks were favoring
the Industrial rather than the railroad
shares. This is a phenomenon that has
been In evidence ell through the present
year; bat Il Is now more so than ever
and causes for II are OF more than one
kind For long time past the leading
stocks In an upward movement in the
railway shares have been those comprised
IN the Hartman group; but the man
who gave these stocks their name has
been removed from the scene Of action,
and what were formerly called his stocks
are no longer experiencing the impetus
from a speculative point Of view of his
tremendous force and energy and inces-
SAINT operation OF deals OF one sort or
another.
New Issues Announced
Specific developments were not numer-
Gus IN the last seven days. New stock
issues by the Pennsylvania. New York
} Central. and New Haven companies were
( announced and the American Cotton OH
Company took such action as 20 place its
common stock upon a per cent dividend
paying basis. II Is understood that the
dividend upon this stock Will hereafter
be paid semi-annually, or Il may be quar-
terly, and that this process will commence
AZ once.
The weather over the country for farm
ing was good the heavy rain over the
Western wheat lands being OF especial
benefit The vast quantity OF the coun-
try's miscellaneous business was exhibited
in the reports of bank exchanges showing
the largest business activity Of the year.
and one that rose in many quarters 70
higher points than was touched IN either
1906 or 1907, and finally at the close Of the
week there was what seemed 70 be a
temporary stoppage, az any rate, Of the
feverish speculation In cotton options that
has recently been carried on.
The upward movement I'm cotton fu-
lures ever since the price Of the staple
touched u cents a pound has been engi-
necred by a few daring. resourceful, ans
