Paying the Capitalists

Written for The Columbia Socialist.
The first bugbcar that meets the
man who considers the Socialist
philosophy is: How shall we pay
the capitalist"
This IS very natural question.
He has been paying the capitalist
during his entire lifetime, and can
not be expected to stop at once!
But seriously. we will settle with
the capitalist class as may be most
cxpcdicnt at the time. We would
be mere Utopian dreamers to be
planning now 4 settlement with
capitalist owners.
AS class the workers are motor
iously generous. Even the capital
list ought not to trcmble.
Some capitalist properties are il
legally held. and should he taken
at once. Some may be most easily
bought and paid for by the new
state. Some may he seized under
eminent domain and damages
paid to tho capitalist owners. If
any capitalists resist the state. their
properties may be legally confiscat-
ed
But there many factories and
mines now in use which the work
ers will certainly abandon when
they come into power. The owners
may then do with their old proper
ties as they wish. The workers
will pr0vid" themselves with more
SAT" and comfortable places.
There is always Il way when tho
time comes. No need now to borrow
trouble about how we will treat tho
former rulers when We have the
power. How foolish to miStrus
ourselves.
What will the capitalist do wheI
We collectively conduct industry
He will have u suitable and pleas san
job along side ourselves. nnd he
paid his entire social share. Hi
needless anxiety" will be over,

Who Is Ito Blame?

a woman lay dying in a New
York hospita! last Sunday. over hel
leaned uniformed nurse catching
the whispered story of d fearful
tragedy. The words came with diff
ficulty from pafnwhitened lips
Death interrupted the narrative
But before breath had entirely gone
the stricken woman. as delirium set
in, repeated over and over d ques-
ton:
why am | here? she gasped
What have | done?"
What have ! done? Why am
hcrc?"
Answer that, friends, for it de-
mands an answer. 1t is asked OF us
each one of us. For we are to
blame for the death of this woman
of her and her $50 feIlow-work-
ers in the Inflated New York fac
tory.
What had she done ? She had
1abored for her bread and the bread
of those who depended upon her.
She was working woman. She
was one of those who have given
meaning to the phrase we now hear
SO oftcn-''the wo:nen's invasion
of Industry" She was helping to
make the clothes We wear.
Why was she there? Why was
she living in that hospital surroun-
ded by sufferer like herself and re-
ceivinS the last ministrations of
heavy-cycd attendants? Because
we in this nation have been lax. Be
cause we have permitted industry
to herd the workers-women and
rhiIIrnn az "a man-infn GA n
traps: there to make for us the
things we need. Because-in blaZ-
ing resentment, perhaps, at some
needless holocaust-we have forced
men to enact laws that provided fire
escapes, proper storing of highly in
nammable materials, etc, and then
have gone about our business while
the administration of those laws
was shaped by dollars.
Society is responsible. 1t Is not
AS II this New York horror were
the only one of it's kind. There
have been others most appalling
list. Should you need assurance on
this point read in the April Nc
Clure's the story of THE Newark
Factory Fire" by Mary Alden Hop
kins. That story is terrible enough,
yet is not to be compared with the
newspaper stories of the Washing
ton Square fire. Wherever we have
factories we have had these burn
ings of human beings. We have
been forcwarncd. And it matters
not IL officials were lacking in
vigilance or Lawmakers in foresight
1t does matter that We citizens have
not long ago risen in our collective
might and forced those who run our
industries to provided for the
safety of those who work.-La Fol-

Berger Exposes Graft

Charging that the administration
of the District of Columbia is graft
ing millions of dollars annually from
the people of the United States, Ber-
ger has issued Il public statement
denorncIuG the conditions existing
in tie National Capital.
This statement is scathing ar
raignment OF the graft partnership
with the United States Government"
which benefits only Il real estate
ring and '.shoddy aristocrats." Both
old parties are responsible for the
conditions pointed out in Bergcrs
terrific indictment of misrule and
mismanaScment.
Here are some extracts from Ber-
gers statements:
''In no other city in the coun'- .

rampant as it is in Washington.
THE form o. government of the
District of Columbia is absolutely
un-American and undemocratic
THE payment of half of the en-
penses of the District government
by the United States is at the foun-
dat ton of all the evils of the Dis
triCt government.
Sooner or later the people Of
the United States will wake up to
the fact that they are being bun
coed out of six or seven million dol
lars every year.
There are miles of streets and
sidewalks for the benefit of real
estate spectators. On a country

week 1T 300, same week last year 39,500. The market broke badly first half of the week, but an ad- vance set in yesterday, after a lower opening. Prices are higher again to-day, 10 cents in most cases, and top to-day is back up to $770, paid for light weights Med ium weights and mixed hogs sell at $750 to $765 to-day, heavy hegs at $7.40to $7.55. The spread in prices is widening, heavy weights losing ground all the time, and light commanding an increasing premium, account of scarcity of the latter. On two days this week, yesterday and Wednesday, Ar monrs drove of hogs in Kansas City cost 3 cents per cwt. more than their drove in Chicago same days.
 Sheep here this week 31 300, last week 41,800, same week last year 36,600. Prices were lower this week till today, when there is some revival, and nearly all the loss has been put back on. Not many are here to, day, 1000 head, but the gain to- day is legitimate. The Ronssee lambs sold at $6 co to-day, r tb. as compared with top of$5 75 yesterday and Wednesday. Year. lings are worth up to S5.25, wethers $4 35. ewes $4.00. The Arkansas Valley in Colorado began shipping freely this week, most of the lambs from there at $5 65 to $5 90. The Monte Vista district dropped off, and Kansas and Missouri also show signs of falling off in ship ments, pointing to shifting of the base of supplies in the next week or two.

HIDES, HORNS AND WOOL.
Readable Items from the Cattle Ranges
 of Arizona Territory.

Prescott Courier: Hooker & Ruffner are building two water storage dams for stock purposes on their Horseshoe ranch. The larger dam will be 300 feet wide and of sufficient height to make lake 12 feet deep and about 1000 feet in length.
 Arizona Democrat: Consigned 10 a Boston commission house a carload of wool was shipped out of Phoenix last night. This fleece came from Cave Greek and was the first to be shipped from Phoe- nix since the present clipping season began. The price of wool has been far from satisfactory so far this season. Several bids as high as 17 cents have been received, but none higher. Most of the wool will be sent 10 the commission houses to be sold at market prices.
 Journal Miner: J. 1. Roberts, who returned yesterday from a weeks inspection of his sheep interests on the desert, stated that twenty. two shearing machines are in oper- ation at Hot Springs Junction. and thousands of sheep are being . sheared. That range has more owners this winter than in many years, which is attributed to the excellent feed. Mr. Roberts states that Indian wheat, which grows wild, is nearly eight inches high, an unusual condition, and other grasses are also coming up in abundance. Sheep owners are very much elated at the favorable conditions.

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS C1rY, Feb. 8, 1911- Cattle received here this week 43,9OO, last week 42,800, same week last year 25,800 The mar ket lost 15 to 25 cents first three days this week, most on fed steers, but afternoon Wednesday there was a better feeling, and the mar ket was strong yesterday. Run is small to day, and tone of the market without signi ficance, though some traders contend that receipts will fall off next week, and prices strengthen. A year ago now there was a good advance starting in on all kinds of cattle, which kept up till spring, but that was due to very small receipts at the market. It is believed that there are d greater number of cattle to be marketed this spring, or between now and grass, than there were last year during tLe same period and therefore no such price rise will be experienced this season. Some yearling steers sold at $6 50 yesterday, top for the week on any steers, top heavy steers at $625. Several lots of good heavy steers received bids of $6.15 to $6 9 here Tuesday, which the owners con sidered too low, and they were sent to Chicago They sold there yesterday at $6 30 and $6 35. Bulk of the fed steers now sell at $5 50 to $500, cows $4 10 to $5 g, heifers $4 50 to $500, bulls $400 to $5 25, veals half a dollar lower than a week or two ago, best at $500. Stockers and feeders were the last to feel any decline this week, and they were hit lightly, off 10 to Is cents. stockers still selling at $4.50 to $575, feeders $5 50 to $5.90. Quarantine receipts mod crate, steers at $5. 30 to $5 95, a few light steers at $4.75 to $5 %.
