Military Legislative Agent.

The military administration is evidently
TO be fortified by a special representative
who shall have charge of army legisla-
tion. That seems 20 be the intention Of
Secretary Dickinson. in part. at least in
summoning 20 Washington Maj Gen.
William II. Carter. L. S. A. we'll known
10 his associates in the military estab-
lishment as an adviser Of the Secretary
Of War at the time Mr.. Root was serv-
ing the country in that capacity. Gen.
Carter IS commonly credited with having
framed the bill and guided Congressional
action in accomplishing the general stan
Of tho War Department and establish
ing the system Of detailing line officers
% duty in the special staff corps. Gen.
Garter is shortly to so on duty in the
War Department as assistant 70 the
chief Of staff when Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood reports for duty in that office
The usual duties Of assistant to the
chief Of staff. whatever they may be in
the advisory function 20 which the gem
eral stan Is restricted are TO be extend
ed and amplihed in the case OF Cen
Carter so as TO employ his services in
the promotion Of legislation OF benefit
90 the military establishment. That
officer was quoted by the Manila Cable
news-American as saying just b,sore
leaving Manila FOR washington:
Il am going to Washington 70 try and
put through Congress several reforms on
behalf Of the army which the War De-
partment IS very anxious should be ef-
fected. Some little time ago the Secre-
tary Of War sent me a long telegram 20
that effect and It will be my endeavor %
show Congress in the clearest and most
forceful manner the necessity Of these
measures. II I succeed In this work
shall certainly feel very much gratlfed
] would have much preferred however
70 take command OF the Philippine
Division, which has been a desire OF
mine for some time but the War De.
partment had other work for me 70 do
There are many projects Of army legls-
lation which have been submitted tc
Congress in a formal way, and they have
been urged in eloquent and earnest
fashion by such officers as Mai
Gen. J. Franklin Bell. until lately
chief Of staff Congress has re-
Trained from legislative action. and II
IS presumably considered that something
less formal and more personal Is neces-
sary IN the way Of bringing Congress
10 a realization Of the necessity OF
remedial legislation. At the same time
the appearance at the Capitol Of ar
army officer who is especially detailed
to put through Congress several reforms
on behalf Of the army" may have Tho
effect Of prejudicing the legislative body
which Is s!ngularly and almost unac.
countably sensitive-at times-of tn,
methods employed 20 induce Congres
sional sanction. II the House and Sen,
ate military committees. which intro
duce army legislation. cannot be brought
70 a proper appreciation Of service legis
lation by the usual means, il is doubtful
If greater conviction will be impaired
by the efforts and arguments OF a major
general specially detailed for the pur
pose, although there can be no question
If such a proceeding is adopted that IN,
best qualified officer for the task woul,
be Gen. Carter.

Richard s. Boettcher, OF Milwaukee,

discussing socialism. said that the social
istic mayor OF Milwaukee is making
good" and that II he continued as he
had gone so far he would be reelected 10
Office for another team. a good many
people have an idea that what socialists
want is 20 dump the wealth Of the world
into a big pile and make an equal division

Ing. There Is your share OF the wealth
OF the Rothschilds' That was a great
bankers idea Of socialism.
Socialists do not want all wealth seized
, by society and owned by its members in
common or divided equally between them.
What Socialists do want is that all insrru-
ments for the production and distribution
of wealth should be taken over and owned
and managed by the members Of society
collectively; that the wealth created by
and with these instruments shall be ap-
poruOned in a more equitable manner
than az present; and that. after II has
been apportioned, the portion OF wealth
told or 70 each individual shall be his
sole and absolute property This IS the
essence Of socialism. Regarding many
other principles. socialists differ from
each other. Regarding these principles.
they are all In accord.
The first thing To be remarked in eluci-
dation Of this definition Of real socialism
/ is that it involves democracy OF the ex-
tremest type. Not only are all public
utilities TO be owned by the people. in
order that the people may do this It is
essential that they shall be entirely self
governing and sovereign. We find. there
fore, that consistent socialists everywhere
/ are opposed to every form OF monarchy
and 20 all restrictions on the suffrage Of
