Look here" he said, things around
here are just about as rotten as they
make them. When ! went to lunch to-

in the honey and hair in the apple
sauce. Now, what do y think o. that?
Is that good hotel?"
Well" replied the genial propri-

shaving of the ice. And I suppose
that in the honey came of the comb.

THE DANGER OF SOCIALISM.

In his speech accepting the republican presidential
nomination. President Taft said:
In the ultimate analysis I fear the equal oppor-
tuny which those seek who proclaim the coming Of So
called social justice involves forced division of prop
erty and that socialism In the abuses Of the last
two decades it is true that gotten wealth has been
concentrated in undeserving hands, and that if it
possible to redistribute it any equitable prin
cipe to those from whom it taken without adequate
proper compensation it would be good result to
bring about But this is obviously impossible and i'm
practicable All that be done is to treat this
incidental evil Of great expansive movement in the
material progress of the world and to make that
there will be no recurrence of such evil In this regard
have made great progress and REFORM as in respect
to secret rebates in railways the improper comforting
of public franchises, and the immunity of monopolizng
trusts and combinations The misfortunes of ordinary
business the division Of the estates of wealthy at
their DEATH the chances of speculation which undue
good fortune seems often to stimulate, operating as
causes through generation, will do much to divide up
such large fortunes It is far better to await the di
mutton Of this evil by natural than to attempt
what would take the aspect of conscaton or to
abolish the principle and institution of private property
and to change to socialism Socialism involves the TAX
ing away of the motive for acquisition saving energy
and enterprise ,and futile attempt by committees to
apportion the rewards due for productive labor It
means stagnaton and retrogression 1t destroys the
handspring of human action that has carried the world
on and upward for 1000 years.

Another noticeable characteristic
