Herman II. Freers, Of Casey, H.,
writes as follows;
We are again on the V Of
another Tariff struggle. 1t seems
that history il going to repeat it
self, or, In slang phrase, Free Trade
u trying to come back. Since COM
ing to Illinois I have been a close
observer OF what the people from
the farm talk about. From my OBJ
servation the farmers are not very
much in harmony with President
Taft. They do not approve OF
Free-Trade In their line and Pro-
lection In manufacture. Since the
election of William Mckinley there
has been a new generation OF vo-
ters sprung up, voters who will
cast their first vote and they have
been reading so much about the
high cost of living and about Pres
ident Taft's speeches, about a re-
vision of the Tariff downward, is
1t any wonder the policy Of a Pro-
tective Tariff Is in danger? And /
also want to say a word to the
German voter. 1t would be a
good idea for him to practice in
this country what they preach in
Germany, namely, Germany for Ger
mans. In this country, America for
Americans, / am OF German dcs-
cent, and my father has always vo-
ted the Republican ticket because
1t has always stood for Protection
| to not want to go through an
other time like 1888. Hoping we
will be saved from this delusion OF
lower cost Of living, for cheap
prices mean cheap wages, I am
Yours truly,

The LaFollette people are stating
openly that they have Col. Roose-
velt's endorsement One thing
seems certain and that Is that Mr..
Roosevelt does not favor Presi-
dent Taft for reelection, as he has
criticised his acts frequently and
Mr.. Taft certainly has not carried
out Mr.. Roosevelts policies. We
would not be at all surprised II

We publish a letter elsewhere In
this issue from Sam Ruff. n former
citizen OF this county, who has
turned to the Socialist party for
relief from present political con-
ditions. No matter whether Mr..
Ruff was a Republican or Demo-
crat he Is like many Others who
se that the old parties are afraid
to make many needed reforms for
fear OF losing votes. The Socialist
party has many good points, but
like the old parties, would have an
endless contention II put into pow
err. And II in power II would no
doubt abandon many good princi-
pies upheld By the present admin
istration. SO We do not agree with
Mr.. Ruff entirely In his plan of
securing reform. Why not work
inside your own party to get your
reforms?

good plan is to patronize home peo

The shipment of hogs to the var
ious markets has become a record
breaker, and fortunately the price
Is holding up pretty well. But
this wholesale marketing combined
with the big loss by cholera, is
bound to work a hardship on us
As ii will not only send the price
of porkers "out OF sight" but farm
n will have to pay dearly for
their stockers. 1t would certainly
be a wise move for every farmer
to hold on to at least af.w hogs,
even at a risk, and thus even up
conditions a little.

Although business is good In
general no one can deny that the
dollar has become more elusive OF
late and a business man must keep
his eyes wide open not to get
caught with a big book account
and small cash assets. There are
few failures, yet there are many
transactions that are virtual fail
ures and are made quietly to pre-
vent a failure. A gradual slight
ening" Is preferable to a panic and
may prove a good thing in bring
ing about more conservative bust
ness methods as well more cash
transactions on the part OF the
general public.

Dear Editor Witt:
Although my subscription to
Marshall Republican has not ex-
pired, l noticed your liberal Of
fer In last issue so I'll "bite" by
sending you the enclosed dollar,
although I'm always perfectly will
ling to give the subscription price
for the Marshall Republican as II
Is the best county paper printed In
Old Missouri, barring none.
We natives down here are In
high glee owe our irrigation pros
poets, as preparations r under
way to irrigate a large tract OF
land. I will not write on this
point too much, lest some may
think I'm boosting the country or
advertising an irrigation scheme.
Now friend, Witt, you always inn
pressed me as n man who always
tried TO be fair In all your views,
and ! always read your editorials
with interest. I appreciated your
kindness In printing my short stor-
les and other articles when l was
residing in North Grand Pass. /
will now crave your further kind
ri in allowing me to contribute
a few articles on Socialism. Wait,
wait, don't chuck this In the waste
basket yet. please read 1t through.
Yes, I'm a Socialist. I cast the
first and only Socialist ticket here
In Logan two years ago. This
year there were IS and I did not
get to vote here In Logan, having
moved into another precinct. Two
years ago Quay County had q
Socialist votes this year, 4o7. I'm
simply mentioning this to show the
rising tide of the Socialist move
ment In New Mexico.
There was never a movement for
reform that was SO misunderstood
misreprcsented or prejudiced as
the Socialist movement. There r
many eminently respectable peo-
pie, (but not well read who think
and will tell you that Socialism
NEAR nothing but red flag wav-

I could give more easo why

Permit me to add just a few
more words. Socialism does not
mean that we must divide up equal

get wages alike, that we cannot
own private property, or that
everybody will share slike.
Socialism marches with thought
not daggers, It brings peace, moi
war, 1t acts on the plan OF love
not hate.
Socialism wants the government
to own the means OF production
and labor to receive all 1t produces
