Hereafter no communications will

come necessary because of the wide
attitude the dissertations have at,

responsible for the opinions expressed
in this department, but the editor, in
asking the contributors to assume re-

asking no more than h6 himself as

vitation, then, is extended everybody
everywhere to give their views on any
subject, So that the Free Speech
department may become what it is in

NEWARK, OHIO.

Editor Majority:
VIII you permit me to PROFOUND a
few questions concerning water works
to the people of Newrak through your
columns?
Why should anybody consider 1t
necessary for the city to purchase the
old water works? In the language of
the immortal Shakespeare, son what
compulsion must /? tell me that. .
Does it seem to you that an increase
of the city's debt to the amount of
500, 900 or $125,O00 would help it
to carry and discharge the debt it has
already incurred?
Does not such a proposition remind
you of the physician, who said he
could never cure his patients Of their
diseases without first getting them
into fits?
Can anybody claim that it would
be cheaper for the city to run two
water systems than one? LIN
Would it not be much better to
urge and encourage the board Of pub
lie service to push the new plant to
completion than to permit the old
company to unload on the city?
Is not the competition" of the old
company bugbear, a ghost to
brighten innocent people withal?
If the city's works were once put
in operation, would not the people
tumble over themselves to get water
that they knew was duly filtered?
Is it even supposable that the old
company would want to play losing
game of competition when they have
no hope of unloading on the city?
If the plant Of the old water works
is in Ns good condition in all respects
as is claimed for it, could it possibly
be worth more than the half of
1926. 900 to the city?
Rather would not every dollar over
say $4,000 be clear bonus to the
old company? If the city has money
to give away, could it not easily find
more worthy objects Of its charity
than the owners and bondho1ders
the Lord only knows who they all
are OF the Newark Water Conn
pany?
Wherefore Is it not the only proper
course for the people of Newark to
complete the new water works with
the utmost possible dispatch. and not

Joseph 3. Cohen, a name familiar
to readers of Socialist papers. is the
author of another MOST valuable Kerr
book, Socialism for Students which
has previously appeared in series in
The International Socialist Review
Mr.. Cohen's work is divided into con
sideration of eight phases of the sub
ject, the introduction being based
upon the definition of Frederick
Engels: Modern Socialism is in its
essence, the direct product of the
recognition, on the one hand, of the
class antagonism existing in the So
ciety Of today, between proprietors
and non-proprietors, between capital
lists and wage-worke1s. In the other
hand, of the anarchy existing in pro-
duction.'' The author only claims

to be dispossessed of them--the land,
