NOT AGREED On LICENSES.
One Issued by Assessor Is Vetoed
by Health Officer.

The assessors Office recently issued a
license TO Fannie Page to conduct a
restaurant and eating house on Cedar
street northwest, and along came the
health officer and said the license was no
good The proprietress wants to know
what the Commissioners are going to do
about il. The health officer has recon-
mended to the Commissioners that il he
is going to have a set of health regu.a-
tions concerning eating houses he would
like to have II known that people must
come to him before securing a license.
AS the matter stands, this precedent of
the assessors Office would make it posi-
BILE for the District to issue a license to
any eating house and then turn around
and prosecute the proprietor for failing
to have a kitchen sink and running water
to the board that the health office shall
hereafter always have the first say in
such cases.

LATE KING IS ACCUSED
LEOPOLD CHARGED WITH ROB-
BING BELGIUM OF MILLIONS.
Minister of the Colonies Admits
That He Was Deceived by Sow
ereign Regarding the Kongo.

BRU SSEIAS, March 4.-Charges that
King Leopold had robbed the state of
many millions and that the money had
been partly dissipated by the reckless ex-
travagance of the Baroness Vaughn
whose deathbed marriage to the late king
has been recognized by the church and
her, two sons ennobled--were made dur
ing stormy session of the chamber OF
deputies yesterday.
In an effort to recover to the state mis-
appropriated funds and it's legal share in
the estate of Leopold interpretations were
made in the chamber respecting the late
kings legacies and almost Immediately
provoked a heated discussion, which was
still in progress at the time OF adjourn
ment.
Minister Was Deceived.
Admissions by the minister of the colon
les, NJ. Renkin, that he had been. decelv-
ed by Leopold in the financial affairs Of
the Kongo, may result in an undenia bile
demand for his resignation.
M. Vandervelde, the socialist leader,
charged that King Leopold had deceived
his ministers and had bequeather his i'm
mense ill-gotten fortune through the crea-
tion OF illegal companies composed of
straw men. The greater part of this
fortune, he. said,g was profit from the late
kings maladorous administration of the
Kmgo and. funds Of. the crown domain,
whose assets should revert to Belgium
with annexation
Many Millions Missing
NJ. Jensen, liberal. asserted that many
millions had disappeared from the Kongo
treas ury, and amid a scene of excitement
demanded to know what money had
maintained the extravaganza of the
Baroness Vaughn's establishment at
Balincourt.
The minister of the colonies rose to
make answer, and under the fire of
questions admitted that he had been de-
ceived in certain respects on the Kongo
fund. This admission brought cries of
Resign. Resign" from members Of the
chamber and to relieve the embarrass-
ment the discussion was allowed to go
over.

with Mr.. Roosevelt were nearly COM

the whole, comprising practically all
who are engaged exclusively in the
conduct of Socialist propaganda
work The men and women (for
there are many women as we'll as
men engaged in the promotion of So
cialism) in this group are in the
main adventures who care little or:
nothing for the so-called principles"
of Socialism. or so far as that goes,
for principles of any kind. They are
engaged in this work partly because
they can get more money out OF it
than they would be worth at any
honest employment, provided they
are equipped with a sufficiently ex-
tensive and vitriolic vocabulary.
The other group is composed of the
riffraff of society, drawn chiefly from
the slums of the larger cities. They
are physically and mentally coarse
and brutal, illiterate and vicious and
without any of the attachments which
enable ordinary decent people to get
a comfortable living in the ordinary
occupations of decent and orderly
life. They are the f1otsam and jet
sam of the sea of civilization, drift
ing aimlessly about at the mercy Of
wind and wave because they have
none of the qualities that in most men
and women are an anchor to the soul
and a shield from the seductive de-
vices of willy schemers who for their
own gain would plot the destruction
Of the throne of the universe itself.

AN INSIDE VIEW OF SOCIALISM

be, that the profit system is wrong,
and ought to be abolished.
This is the real Wayland, as he is
known in Girard, and everywhere
else that he is known at all, and this
is the man who made the Socialist
movement; who controls the Social
list movement; who is the Socialist
movement of the United States.
He controls the Socialist press alb
solutely, because the Appeal to Rea-
son in his hands is weapon so pow
erful that even if all other publish
ers of Socialist papers should COM
bine against him, they could not
hope to succeed, and if they failed to
succeed in a revolt, he could and
would crush them as ruthlessly as he
would a worm that happened to cross
his path, for Wayland is man who
brooks no opposition, and who pun
ishes his enemies with a relish as
keen as was ever felt by a savage
while ripping the bleeding scalp from
the skull of victim of his toma-
hawk.
He controls the officials of the So
cialist party, as absolutely as he does
it's press, by graciously permitting
them to pick up the crumbs that fall
from his table. In each of the sew
eral States, the State secretary of the
Socialist organization is sort of gen.
eral State agent for the "Appeap',
an arrangement by which the secre-
tary receives a very comfortable ad-
dition to his regular salary-as long
as he is absolutely loyal to the big
boss, and as each Of these Estate sec
retaries" is a sort of small Gear in
his >own domain, to control them,
means to control the entire move
ment, lock, stock and barrel.
In this way, Wayland is able prac-
tically to select the delegates to the
State and National conventions of
the party, and dictate their instruc-
lions, which in effect amounts to
nominating the ticket.
With a perfectly controlled press,
universally subsidized party officials,
and muzzled party conventions that
carry out a program which has been
carefully prearranged in Girard,
Wayland becomes, for all practical
purposes, the Socialist party.
Socialism is, therefore, seen to be
inconsistent and fraudulent, in this:
that while it breaches democracy"
it practices despotism, the very thing
which it condemns in all it's litera-
ture, and sentences to death in all it's
official utterances.
Whatever may be said of the prin-
ciples of Socialism as an abstract
theory, it is certain that little that is
good can be said of the principles Of
most of the men whose occupation is
promoting the Socialist movement
and living off it.
AS to the followers of Wayland, a
very brief survey will be sufficient
for the purposes of this discussion.
They may be roughly divided into
two groups. In the first group we
may place possibly one per cent. of
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-06-09

W
ment which expounds a new
political faith; heralds new indus
trial gospel; and proposes a new
and radically different system of gov
eminent from that which we now
have.
This movement, which is called the
Socialist movement, has a powerful
press and a vast army Of powerful
advocates, both on and off the plat
form, and, above all. it has a COM
pact, thoroughly disciplined, rapidly
growing and already powerful politi-
cal organization through which it
proposes to obtain possession of the
powers of government, and legislate
it's industrial program into actual
operation. At least that is the plea
upon which it bases it's appeal to the
working class
1t therefore behooves all good citi-'
zens, of whatever political faith, to
examine closely the claims and meth
DDS of Socialism, in order that their
attitude in relation to it may be for
the best interests of all the citizens
of this great nation.
Thoughtless condemnation is as
bad as thoughtless approval.
Calm analysis should precede any
expression on the subject. When we
know just what it's philosophy and
program are, and when we know how
and by whom the movement is con-
Quoted and understand something of
the motives by which they are &C
tuated, we shall then be in a position
to Judge fairly as all reasonable men
oil ++0Y hot
come before them for adjudication.
Every movement, whatever it's OBJ
ject, is necessarily composed of two
groups-leaders and followers.
The character of any movement
can always be accurately determined
by careful examination of these two
groups-those who lead, and those
who follow.
Not only is a tree known by it's
fruit, but the fruit is known in ad
vance by the tree. When you see a
certain kind of tree, and you are GER
tain of the specific character of the
tree, you know just what kind of
fruit may later be found on that
tree. for trees have a well-known
habit of producing fruit after their
own kind.
Let us then examine the tree on
which the Socialist movement hangs,
for the purpose of determining
whether it is a good or bad tree, for
let it be always remembered that
"a good tree cannot bring forth evil
fruit, nor an evil tree good fruit. If
the tree be evil, it will bear evil
fruit, and vice versa"
We shall find the tree we are look
ing for in Girard, Kansas. To J. A.
Wayland, editor and sole owner of
the Appeal to Reason, belongs the
credit of creating the American So
cialist movement and directing it's
destinies up to the present time, and
so far no one has effectively chal-
lenged his dictatorship.
When he began, he was poor. Now,
he is a millionaire. His poor dupes
made him rich, and they are still
poor. They fatuously believe that
Wayland is a humanitarian and a
philanthropist; an idealist, and
Goods own mad lover" of his fellow
man.
They are mistaken. Wayland is
none of these things. He is an ex-
ceedingly shreWd keen, long-headed,
and far-seeing business man, who
has mastered the fine art of making
other people work with him and for
him.
