Texas Iron Ore.

To the uninitated it is inconceiv'
able why Texas iron ore should be
shipped out of the state. Practically
speaking only two tons of ore and one
ton of coke are required to make
ton of pig iron. Texas ore can be
mined washed and crushed and de-
livered to furnaces located at the
Texas ports for 81 per ton. Therefore
the cost of ore per ton OF pig iron
would be only 81 in comparison with
80 30 for Mesaba ores of like quality,
delivered at Pittsburg and practically
the same to other manufacturing cen
tiers dependent upon the Lake Supe'
rior region for their supply. The cost
of Penn sylvania coking coal delivered
at the gulf ports can be reduced 10
less than 81 per ton, making the cost
of both ore and coke per ton OF pig
iron about SO as against Sll.5O TO Sl2
for the raw materials at Pittsburg.
The rates of freight on finished iron
and steel products from the four prlh-
cipal manufacturing centers OF the
country to Texas common points on
the principal items, such as pipe, bars
plates. beams, wire, nails, railroad ma
terials and supplies and pig iron aV-
erage 1866 per ton.

EXPOSE THAT CRIME.

The finding of the body of an infant
in a thicket at Whitwell has caused a
great sensation at that place. This is
the second or third occurrence OF the
kind, and the citizens are indignant
that such actions should continue, or
that such revolving career of crime
should be pursued in their midst
Some party or parties are today liv-
ing in fear that their hideous secret
the Staying of baby girl-will be dis
covered, and that their career of crime
will be disclosed. This matter should
be followed up closely. No effort
should be left undone to get a COM
plete exposure of the crime. The safe
ty of human society demands That the
strange death of this infant should be
cleared up, and if its death occurred
from natural causes, why it was
thrown into the briars like a brute
that had died from disease.
There was no use for such conduct.
If the guilty parents had no desire to
retain the child, why Stay it, II left
on a doorstep we are sure there are
hundreds of people in Whitwell with
the milk of human kindness i'll their
breasts, who would have adopted 1t,
and been glad to have done so. The
guilty parties in avoiding the shame
of detection in their wickedness, have
run into another. In avoiding Scylla
tney have run into Charybdis, and
the rocks of destruction are now about
to close in on them. The meshes of
the law are being slowly drawn
around them and exposure Is newt
able.

Editor News:
Since reading the wIite-up of the
failure of Socialism in Milwaukee in
your last issue, l have been requested
to tell how much of it is true and how
much is false. l feel unable for the
task, and since my friend, "Hoss
Eye, got after me so sharp, have
not even had time to tell my friend,
"Wild West" where he could get sor-
ghum. He. guess, thinks got scar
ed but | never get scared. / some
times get in deep water" just as l
did on money, and the unit of value.
/ have been watching for something
to read on this, and so far have seen
nothing but if our editors will let me
in, l will try to tell you briefly wha t
Socialism means, and follow this by
what the Socialists of Milwaukee have
accomplished, and why some charge
failure to them.
First Socialism means the collec-
tive ownership of the means of pro-
Quoting and distributing wealth. such
as lands, mines, factories, railroads,
mail, express, telegraph and telephone
service, light. water and heat plants,
stores, etc, so that private monopoly,
graft, and extortion, will be impossi-
BILE. and rent, interest and profit will
be abolished, and all may have the
full product of their labor.
Second. Socialism means private
ownership of wealth, such as home,
carriage, furniture. hooks, pictures,
ETC.. according to the value of ones
labor. Socialism means the public
ownership of capital, the private own
ership of wealth; the public ownership
of opportunity, the private ownership
Of the products of ones labor; the
public ownership of the means of life,
the private ownership of life itself.
Third. Direct legislation through
The Initiative, Referendum and I'm
perative Recall, so that the people
may rule as they please, in
spite of Councils, Legislatures, Con-
crosses or Courts.
Fourth. It means new money sys-
tenn, of money issued by the govern
ment alone, limited SO that it be a
true medium of exchange only, and

What Socialism Really Means
BY A. ]. BRANNAN

not a medium of exploitation or rob
berry as now.
Capitalism is the reverse and stands
for everything which will deprive tn,
majority of any voice in the govern
ment and of their God-given right. anG
has made slaves of the many for the
sake of the few. 1t was the combined
powers of this class which the Social
lists of Milwaukee bad to fight.
The fame of Milwaukee, the first
city captured by the Socialists, was
enlightening our countrymen, and
capitalism must concentrate her pow.
ers unite the democIs attic and republi-
can parties, use their presses, owned
and controlled by the capitalists. to
aid in the work and retake the city.
Look at what is happening all over
our country. See how while the
capitalists aie trying to hang inno-
cent labor union leaders after framing
the laws for the express purpose in
California, how the laboring people
are voting. There they have voted in
the Initiative, Referendum and Recall
and all else will follow. Taft, the
willing tool of the captains. vetoed a
statehood bill passed by the last con-
gress, for as he said the constitution
contained these. Afraid of the people !
Why, bless your souls, yes. "The
people are not to be trusted
Socialists are never discouraged and
work as hard in the minority as any
where, and our labor is telling all ov-
er this country, aided by Taft and the
willing tools of capitalism. There is
no power on earth to even check the
onward and upward move of society
into government of the people, by
the people and for the people. Such
government has never existed on this
continent.
Keep your eye out for the next issue
of the News, and i will give you some
of the many good things done and
tried to be done in Socialist Milwau-
kee. Their work was circumscribed
by capitalist-made laws, and as these
came from the state, the Socialists
then could only beg.
