Tho Steady Growth Of Socialism.

~'~''sf VI SOCidiI6IIls
The name Of the socialist party frs
appeared upon the ballot in the Unite,
States in 1888, when it polled 2O6,
votes. In the twenty-one years which
have since elapsed it has progressed
steadily, showing these totals:
1890, 1881; 1892, 21.157; 1894, 3s,
1888; 1896, 1864; 1898, s1,74s; 1900
sS,417; 1902. 225,9O3; 1904, 4O3 1888;
1905, over 100000; 1908, over 100000
1t will be some time before all the
figures for 1910 are available, but it
Is known that the vote scored large
increase all over the country. In New
York 1t grew from $4,000 to $4,000;
In California, from 10000 to over co..
OO0 1t is probable that this years
total reached the million mark.
Milwaukee elected the first socialist
congressman on November g.
The thoroughgoing socialist boldly
declares that the earth and the full.
ness thereof was intended, not for the
making of dividends, but for the salts
raction OF human needs. His program
Is frankly revolutionary, though he
prefers the ballot to the bullet as
means to the end.
While the avowed advocates of So
cialism have worked with wonderful
energy and persistency to promote the
growth of their cause, they are by no
means entitled to all the credit for
what has been accomplished.
The socialist has a partner who is
working overtime to convince the
world that there is no hope, save in
revolution.
The socialists partner is no other
than our old friend, the standpatriot-
that Is to say, the contented conserva-
tive who, hardened by fat years. in
sists that "all's for the best in the
best Of all possible worlds"
This man stands stubbornly in the
face of all progress. He consistently
opposes every human aspiration for
better things. For money, he asks
more and more; to men, he comedies
less and less.
He demands higher rates for rail-
road service. He9esists all attempts
at the regulation of public service cor
porations.
He regards the Wisconsin proposal |
for government railroads, docks and |
steamships in Alaska as unspeakable
heresy.
He insists on higher rates upon all
necessities of life every time the tariff
s revised.
With hundreds Of thousands of chill
iren going to school every morning
Without their breakfasts, he declares

next day, II wished, change Jobs. Both
will be better on, by having better
work done and by saving the labor
of one man, and the spirit of neighbor-
lily helpfulness and interest will be
worth much to each.
Then suppose A has three or four
acres Of stumpy land; B, four or five
acres; G, Just over the hill, half
dozen acres. and all OF them feel the
need OF getting rid OF these stumps so
that they can do better work at less
cost. No one of the three may feel
able to buy a stump puller for his lit
tie patch of land; but II they all go
in together they can get the machine
easily, Join teams and forces, and al
most make a picnic out Of what would
be a hard Job for any one Of them
alone
Then, that little strip of swamp land
that runs down from Browns farm
into Smiths; Brown can't drain his
part without having an outlet on
Smiths land; and Smith finds his field
flooded by the water COM
Ing down from Browns farm. Wouldn't
It be the sensible thing for them to go
in together and drain the whole patch,
and be done with It?
These are obvious ways of co-operat- |
ing with ones neighbors; but there |
ire others which most farmers seem
never to think of, but which are we'll |
worth while.
For example. man in a neighbor- |
rood has good variety Of corn, one
which he has bred up with care and,
which gives uniformly good crops. It |
will pay this man to give his neigh
,ors seed of this corn. so that he can
more easily keep his own strain pure;
md 1t will pay his neighbors to plant
his corn, and to help keep the strain
'ure and true to type. Then, II the
originator Of the corn advertises his
eed and creates demand for 1t,
very one Of them will profit by 1t, and
he neighborhood will soon get a repu.
alton for the production of good seed

BILE to get more for his crop than he
therwise would.

THE federal government has, so far

pioneer law was not made comprehen-
