annually no less than IS yards of
woven cloth, the production in each
case of raw substance weighing rs
pounds. Think of that! Altogether,
the factory value of these gifts is
5000, 100000. He is giving each man
and woman and child in the United
States not only five yards more Of
cloth than he gave each of them 10
years ago, but the cloth, he is giving
them now is worth about 5 cents
more by the yard.
But this is only one item. He is
annually presenting the people Of
the United States with over 23,000,-
600 pounds of thread. What in the
world is done with with all of it only
the statistics can tell, but there's
enough of it to wind around the globe
nearly 1000 times. Without men,
tioning the other various articles of
woven clothing, fair idea of the fact
that he presents to this country alone
at the rate of 20,000,000 dozen pairs
of stockings every year.
This is only a sample of what he is
doing for the world at large. He has
a branch workshop i'll Egypt, of
course, and he does little in India
and in other parts of the world but
his headquarters are in Dixie, where
he is highly thought Of, and for
whose welfare he has been working
overtime, and with wonderful results,
for the last Is years.-Christian

A HARD SLAM AT THE FATHERS,

Commenting upon the decision of
the New York court of appeals, which
annulled as unconstitutional bene-
ficient act of the legislature govern
ing compensation to workmen for ac-
cidental injuries, a Brooklyn lawyer
suggests that every constitution,
state and federal, should be amend
ed to provide that legislatures shall
be the sole judges of their own pow
ers. This, says a contemporary, en-
dicates the monstrosities of the pro-
gram to which the rabid oscialism OF
the times would carry this country"
The mOnstrOsities of rabid social
ism, then, were quite rife in this
country a full half century before
Marx and Engle published the Com
munist Manifesto which is commonly
regarded as the birth of these doc
trines. Among the trainers of the
federal Constitution, Charles Pinck-
ney, Mercer and Dickinson spoke
against giving courts the power to set
aside legislative acts; Edmund Ran
dolph, Gerry and Mason refused to
sign the Constitution, partly on the
ground that no limit was set to Judi
cial power. Madison declared that
the legislature was as fit an interpret
ter Of the Constitution as the courts.
The doctrine that the courts, as sole
interpreters o. the Constitution, may
annul legislative acts was described
by Jefferson as "a very dangerous
doctrine indeed, and one which would
place us under the despotism of an
Oligarchy."
Were these fathers imbued with the
monstrosities or rabid socialism? We
think not. We think that our solemn
contemporary was merely indulgng
in rather common habit Of hurting
violent language, without rausing to
consider what it meant.-Saturda
Evening Post.

DIKIE'S WONDERFUL STAPLE.

There are so many kings in the
commercial and industrial world to-
day that a claim to preference in be-
half of any one of them would lead
only to fruitleSs controversy and un-
pleasant dispute. There is the lum-
Der king, the mining king, the cattle
king, the steel king, the stock eX-
change king, the board Of trade king,
and, standing out more or less in
bold relief, there is king Corn and his
great rival, King Cotton. 1t is pos
sible in these days, thanks to the lib
eraliZing influences of our times, to
consider any member of this royal
family from a democratic standpoint
and to judge him entirely on his in
dividual merits as an adjunct Of mod
ern society. Thus, for instance, we
may take up King Cotton and see
what he is doing at the precent time
to entitle him to the respect due a
sovereign. 1t is real pleasure to do
it, for if boundary is still to be view
ed as a kingly attribute, then King
Cotton, we are certain, will on pre-
sentation Of few of the facts touch
ing on his benevolence, have his
claim speedily allowed.
What is he doing? Well, 70 rome
thing, he is bestoWing on every man,
woman and child in the United States

From O. Socialist Farmer

Still you say, do away with special
privilege. Now I want you to explain
what you mean by special privilege.
You say if the people owned the land,
it would take away the home, yet you
tell about those Indians and Arabs
what free access they have to home
because the entire race own the soil.
Is it possible we are not as humane
as they? Surely not. Are you will
ing for the common people to decide
when an individual has special priv
Olige over them, or do you want the
privileged class to dicide for them?
Now Tom if you are so opposed to
socialism and think it such a vile is
sue, why don't you advise your read
ers to study socialist literature and
learn for themselves and not take
your word for it. No Tommie you
don't want them to learn you wanto
keep them in ignorance for you
know when they realize they are be-
ing robbed they will vote for the
party that offers them the fuller
value of their labor.
Tommie we are all axiously wait
ing to hear of the debate between you
and Kate OHare. Come on Tommie
don't back down. You say socialism
can never amount to row of pins
in rural communities, after it's true
nature and secret purpose have been
found out
Go to the Standard Authorities and
you will find what it's true nature is,
and when you discuss socialism, why
don't you tell your readers what they
say socialism is. Tell them that the
Standard Authorities says Ethics of
socialism and ethics of christianity
are identical. Socialism is not a
mere system of laws, it is rather a
method, just as democracy is a
method. 1t proposes free democracy
both in politics and industry. To
make democracy effective, it de-
mands the ownership by the people
of the productive property which it
proposes they shall controle in such
away as to end profit, interests and
rent, and to provide employment to
all who live, with their full social
product as their reward.
Socialism is not something a few
people have decided to agitate into
acceptance. 1t is merely an express
ion of the aspiration of the ages,
scientifically directed toward the Sc
curing Of defnate ends. The springs
lie deeper than any agitation, or any
book, Or any individual or any party
All these might pass away but that
which is bringing the end Of exploit
tation-that expressed in socialism
would remain Now Tommie take
up the platform, and what socialism
means, and discuss the subject there
from. Tell in your next Jeff, what
you think special privilege is.
