REPLY OF A SOCIALIST.
Points in the Editorial Article on
IL l.

Points in the Editorial Article on So
clalism in California Considered.
Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
With great pleasure 7 have read
your editorial Of the 26th inst, on
Socialism in California" and hope
we will receive due recognition Of the
following answer:
l. Your article states that the idea
of the Socialists is to recall the
judges and put our own men on the
bench
Answer. Have indicted labor lead
ers ever gotten anything from the
capitalists judges. but injunctions and
the pronouncing of labor laws "un-
constitutional" And when in = the
history of labor. have the courts as
they exist today, tried labor case
on its merits? For instance, the
Meyer. Haywood and Pettibone case.
To speak of a poor man having his
case tried on its Merits" under the
present judiciary is an enormous
farce
2. Your article states that if the
judges do not suit you recall them
and let the Judge know that he is at
the beck and call of every passing
whim of public sentiment
Answer. We agree with this state
ment with the exception OF the phrase
(every passing whim Of public senti-
ment) For the Socialist propaganda
fills its members with a knowledge
of economies, and not simply with
! "Whims' and Sentiments" And fur
! thermore, does not the constitution Of
this country provide a government
"Of, for and by the people" (or the
public. If the judiciary as It now
exists, has supreme power, even tc
pronouncing Acts of Congress uncon-
stitutional. then a government "Of
for and by the people" becomes farce
No 2.
g. Now your article says: THAT
the Socialists intend to establish a
class government, a government that
would consider only the views OF mer
absolutely opposed to our entire in.
dustrial system, seeking TO overthrow
il and to erect another system sub
servient to a class"
Answer. With these statements
your article admits that the judiciary
rs the Government" and not the
people, to which we are absolutely
opposed.
\ According to your article. YOU
would have your readers to imagine
that we have no classes in the United
States at present, and that the So.
cialists are the ones seeking to estab.
lish a class government Compare
this with the Initiative, Referendum
and recall in our platform and you
have farce No. 3
What kind of merit or justice was
displayed by the kidnapping of Meyer
Haywood and Pettibone and the Nc
Namaras from one State to another
without warrants and at time wher
all attorneys offices were closed2

APPLES IN DELAWARE.

MHEN in touch with the cultivation of apples
III in this State confess surprise at the interest
shown in this industry. City men, many of them,
are manfesting concern. They have read so
much about apples and apple culture, they have
paid prices high for this kind of fruit that they
think there must be profit in its cultivation. There
is profit and pleasure if the management IS good
and the fruit is cultivated with the same care
that good city business gives to his business.
Some Of the apple growers have been very per-
sistent in educating the public about apples. The
western men have been especially active. The
railroad companies of the West have doomed
apples. And yet it is found that apples as good
as those grown in the West can be grown here
And we are much nearer the city markets.
The exhibitions and the advertising of the west
ern apples have done much to give them their re-
putation And of course the fruit is good, for
no amount Of exhibiting or advertising could make
the people for more than purchase a bad
thing.
Delaware bids fair to become a conspicuous
apple raising state, as noted as Delaware once
was for peaches. But the attention of our devel-
opers should not be devoted alone TO apples. With
most other fruits we could do as we'll we do
with apples. And we could cultivate vegetables
much more than we do. In fact Delaware can be
and should be turned into vertsble garden and
developed with that object in view. 1t is the fault
of our own people if. this is not done The oppor-
tunities are before them.

A SOCIALIST REPLY.

TN REPLY TO The Journals editorial article
Il about the Socialist campaign in California a
local Socialism makes a number of answers which
we print in another column. They contain the
usual charge about the courts being controlled by
capitalists and the cry that labor does not get
fair deal.
Our contributor evidently thinks that the only
way fair deal for labor can be obtained is to
follow some such scheme of recall as is proposed
in California in an effort to put "our men"-So-
calists-on the bench
The fact that the Supreme Court gave labor"
a fair deal in the Gompers case recently seems to
be overlooked. If the capitalists, by whom we
presume are meant all who are not Socialists or
labor men, should denounoe the Supreme Court
as the Socialists assail the courts, what outcry
there would be-
The Journal does not admit that the judiciary
is the government. II does admit that there has
been and is at times much dissatisfaction with the
decisions of courts and with legal procedures but
it does not consider that even such dissatisfaction
could justify bold and announced program to
recall judges and put in their stead men whose
sentiments with respect TO cases to come before
them are known and whose decision would be
practically made in advance. Such an idea is
preposterous.
One thing surely would follow the application
of any such idea of class legislation as that pro-
posed in California. 1t would not be the natural
development into the cooperative commonwealth,
such as some Socialists depict but it would be a
reign of industrial and political chaos, the out
come of which would probably be a military des-
potism.

HEAVY FIRE LOSSES.

THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COM
4 PANY has begun a systematic educational
campaign TO prevent the loss of life due to tres
passing on the railroad tracks. Much good will
undoubtedly be accomplished.
The National Underwriters are TO conduct
similar campaign to educate school children and
others about fires. The Underwriters met in New
York the other day. They say the profits in the
fire insurance business are not large in fact they
are small They think there is need of national
building CODE more severe punishment of incen-
diaries and the punishment of careless cigarette
smokers.
The Underwriters had some striking figures that
alarmed them. These figures showed the fire
losses per hundred of population in German cities
to be 10 cents; Norway rs cents; England, "A
cents; the United States $3.50. No wonder the
Underwriters are disturbed.
As one of them says, these figures are "a striking
comparison Of the care, forethought, supervision
and sense of responsibility of the inhabitants of
European cities with the lack of all these qualities
the part of own people The result is
an enormous fire loss enormous destruction of
wealth in this country. The FIRE losses in the
United States during the last year exceeded those
of the previous year by $25O0000O
The subject of protection against fire is likely
TO attract more attention than il has done. 1t is
always topic of more or less interest here where
the oapability of our own fire department is often
discussed.

HELP THE HOPE FARM.

II HE HOPE FARM has made an appeal to the
4 public for funds. There should be liberal
response. This institution has done good work
For some years a body Of earnest and devoted
men and women have been forwarding the anti
tuberculosis crusade in Delaware They have
given of their time and money for that purpose
They have received some aid from the city and
the official public but i is not sufficient to carry
on such labor as that of the Hope Farm. In
sttutions of this character must be supported
either by the public, the state, city or county, or
by private individuals.
The ourna thinks that more income should be
received from private individuals through volun-
tary contributions. Certainly there are persons
with ample means in Delaware who could contri-
butte TO the support of our charitable nstitu-
tons 1t is true that large number do so con-
tribute Probably the records of the various in
stitutions if examined, would show that contr-
buttons are received from limited number Of
persons
The >ircle of the contributors should be wild
cned Almost every person can give a little for
the support of this or that institution. Giving is
tie cry Of the age. The spirit of altruism is
greater than ever And Delaware should be in
line with that spirit Small contributions to our
institutions are thankfully received. The widow S
mite helps.
