A WORD ABOUT
CONFISCATION

Why not, when we realize the fact
that our whole profit system is nothing
more or less than a confiscation scheme?
What is profit? 1t is something for
which one gives nothing in return. If
il were not so, it would not be profit.
Don't the various boards of trade lower
the price of wheat, corn, cotton and
other farm products, at time when
majority of the farmers are forced by
economic conditions to sell: and when
the bulk of the products have passed
out of the hands of the farmers. don't
these same gentlemen raise the prices
of said products and thereby confiscate
millions and millions of money to their
own uses that the farmers should have
had? Then the railroads step in and
confiscate some more of the farmers
money through unjust freight and pas
senger rates; and then there is the
watered stock and the graft to be reck-
oned with. If they get the peoples
money and give nothing in return for
it, what matters what terms they use
to conceal the robbery-don't they get
the money? And don't somebody lose
it? If the railroads should be confis-
Gated, the capitalists would lose one of
their very best tools, which they so
much need to confiscate other peoples
money. But we mustn't do anything
to hurt the poor capitalists feelings.
1t don't make any difference, about
your feelings and the welfare of your
family. You see the capitalists seem
to have sense enough in this fight for a
living to grasp, by fair or by foul
means, every weapon or circumstance
that they possibly can to further their
interests, and they use them, too. And
the farmer, well he still has sense
enough to grasp the plow handles, and
the capitalists say that's all you need.

ures are not Governor Harmon's; they
are not for his sole benefit, but for all
the people. The four recommendations
made by Governor Harmon in his spe-
cial message have been called wise,
practical and patriotic by the Ohio
State Journal. The election of mem-
hers of the constitutional convention
should be made on a non-partisan ba-
sis. Candidates for state offices should
be selected by primaries. The party
emblem in municipal election tickets
should be abolished. City councils
should be made smaller. These are
the four things the governor recon-
mends, and he urges them by unan-
swerable arguments. These are not
partisan matters.

John Parri came to his death on

revolver in the hands of Deputy Sheriff

time in the performance of his duty.

The above is the verdict of the cor

at the Parri inquest at Topsham,
Thursday We sincerely hope that
other young and ambitious officers will
find no inspiration toward fooihardy
deeds as a result of this sensational
and deplorable affair. The almost
universal praise by the public press,
and the favorable verdict by the cor

erection to the vainglorious.
bravery is much abused term;
II is not the only recommendation in
the selection OF man for public ser

equally desirable. Discretion Is the
