TERNALISM AND SOCIAL
ISM.

1t Is idle for II thoughtful man
In America, whether millionaire
or pauper. to longer play the
ostrich. Safety does not consist
In hiding ones head in the sands
of either sentiment or hope. 1t
Is foolish for the vastly rich to
keep on insisting that more and
more shall be added to their rich
es through specious system Of
special legislation, ostensibly en-
acted to run the government, In
reality enacted to loot the people.
1t Is worse than ignorance for
them to smile at the large body
of intelligent Americans who re-
gard themselves fortunate If the
debit and credit accounts of life
balance at the end of each year
and to assume that the mighty
many. who are becoming con
vinced that that social system
which we call democracy Is but
glittering generality. will long
endure the Industrial slavery
being produced. The hour has
come when patriotism must con.
sist In something more than eu-
lOEieS upon the flag. Whether
voting the ticket or not, men
everywhere looking upon the aw-
full injustice of this economic Sys-
TEN are becoming socialiStic in
theory If not in conduct. And
shall any fair minded man say
that, If 1t rebounds to the interest
of the people of this country that
n hundred men should control its
business to the good OF every one.
there is anything fallacious in
the theory that government in
stead of transferring business to
favored few for the benefit OF
all should itself discharge that
business for the benefit OF all?

DOG CHEWS BOYS LEGS
Crowd of Brutal Men Stand About
and Enjoy Lads Agony.

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 10. - With his
legs frightfully torn and suffering
from shock, tifteen-year-old lad, Will
liam Holmes. is at his home while
the police are securing the country
for the inhuman brute who held the
boy in the rear room of store Satur-
day afternoon while bulldog chewed
and mangled his limbs. Several men,
SO the lad says, stood by laughing at
the brutal performance.
Saturday afternoon Holmes and
other boys by accident shattered the
window of the Marine Supply Store.
a moment later a man issued from
the door. grabbed Holmes and
dragged him into the store where the
bulldog lay.

Explosion Nearly Wrecks Little
Town of Aetna, Ind.
At LEAST 20 PERSONS HURT
Towns for Fifteen Miles Around Are
Shaken-Windows Blown Out at
MilIer-Farmer Lifted from
Seat In Wagon. i.

Hammond, Ind, Nov. 13.-At least
six men were killed and twenty in
jured in an explosion in the Aetna
Powder company's works at Aetna,
Ind, twenty-five miles east of Ham.
mond.
The dead: William Halpin, thirty
years old, married, Miller, Ind;
Charles Schmidt; Arthur Smith, thir-
ty years old; three unidentified men.
Exact Number of Victims Unknown.
The death list may be higher. The
bodies of the dead were blown to
pieces, and the only means of learn
ing the exact number of victims is to
take a census of the 200 inhabitants
and see who is missing.
Superintendent Edwards of the
plant is now taking this census. The
explosion is said to have been caused
by a dynamite packing machine in
factory No. 3.
Towns within a radius of fifteen
miles were shaken by the blast. Win
dows were broken, and those not &C
customed to the powder explosions
thought there was an earthquake.
Farmer Thrown from Wagon.
Henry Winterfinger, farmer, was
driving toward Hammond with his
team. The explosion threw him off
his seat and frightened the horses
into a runaway. Winterfinger was
unhurt.
The blast was a signal for an out
pouring of women from the homes of
Aetna. The day shift was just going
to work and the night shift was leav-
ing the works. The men outside the
buildings and who escaped injury
started the work of rescue immedi-
ately. The women Joined them.
The women whose husbands were
missing, with tears binding their
eyes, dug in the ruins for their
loved ones
The men working nearest the dry
ing plant were instantly killed.
The little town is inhabited by
Americans and is made up solely of
employees of the powder company.
The frame houses were damaged.
Windows were shattered and chin
neys tumbled.
Train Has Narrow Escape.
A South Shore interurban train was
within a few hundred yards of the
plant when the explosion occurred,
but no one on the train was injured,
although the force of the explosion
broke windows in the town of Miller,
a mile distant.
The packhouses are sunk in the
ground, only the glass roof, or sky
light, being above the surface. All
other buildings composing the plant
are similarly constructed and are
widely separated. This arrangement
Of buildings prevented complete de-
struction of the plant.
1t was declared that the property
loss would not be large, as the build
ing in which the explosion occurred
was isolated from other structures
maintained by the company.

Madrid, Spain, Nov. 13.-The Span
ish premier, Jose Canalejas, was as
sassinated
The assassin was captured by the
police. He gave his name as Manuel
Pardinas Serrato Martin, and said he
was a native of Ell Grade, in the prov
ince of Huesoa. He is twenty-eight
years old, and is believed to be an
anarchist. Later he committed sui
eide.
Martin fired four shots at Premier
Canalejas as he was entering the
ministry of the interior TO attend a
cabinet meeting. Two Of the shots
struck the statesman behind the right
ear, and he fell dead on the spot.
Tragedy Causes Excitement.
Intense excitement followed the as
sassination. Police took immediate
steps to prevent an attempt on the
lives of other officials.
When Canalejas was asked in Feb
ruary, 1910, by King Alfonso to form
ministry the request caused a big
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1912-11-14

sensation as it was the first time in
the history of Spain that an advanced
radical had been placed at the head
of the ministry.
His cabinet has since undergone
many changes, but he always retained
the leading place He had much to
do with the signing Of the agreement
between Spain and France on the
question of the future of Morocco,
which was recently satisfactorily
settled.
Visited America In 1897.
Canalejas came to America as a
citizen Of Spain and editor in Novem-
ber 1897, to sound public opinion re-
garding its attitude on the Cuban
question.
Although he was not regarded as
. representative Of the crown 1t was
widely known that he came at the in
stance Of Queen Regent Christina,
and that his interview with President
Mckinley and the American political
serving peace between the two coun-
tries.
New York Anarchists Pleased.
New York, Nov. l3.-The members
Of the anarchist groups In this coun-
ty did not hesitate to say that they
we're highly pleased with the assas-
sination of Jose Canalejas. premier
Of Spain, by a supposed anarchist,
and their leaders said that they re-
garded 1t Is q matter OF rejoicing.
Alexander Berkman, the anarchist
who served fourteen years for shoot.
ing Henry c. Prick, said that all the
anarchists were glad to hear of the
assassination and that It would be
looked on by the anarchists all over
the world as an event to congratulate
themselves on:

THE SCHOLAR IN POLITICS.


When Woodrow Wilson was nomin-
ated for the presidency there were those
who said that the choice was an unwise
one. To their way of thinking II prac
tical politician and a business man,
and not college professor, would more
successfully conduct the affairs of the
government IL placed in the presiden
tial chair. But now that a schoolmas-
ter has been chosen for president it
may be well to assure those who feared
such an outcome that their judgment
about the failure of the scholar in poll
tics is not confirmed by history. That
great English newspaper The West
minister Gazette in commenting upon
Governor Wilson's election to the pres
idency says:
Tired Of their professional polti-
clans, the American people have decid
ed to give u new man a trial 80 u
learned historian and former college
president walks into the White House.
From our own experience with univer-
city men in politics we are encouraged
to hope that he will prove AZ shrewd
and practical as any one of the old
stagers in American politics"
When it IL the experience Of a great
and progressive nation like England
that the scholar is success in politics
it ought to put to silence those who
charge university men like Governor
Wilson with being mere theorists and
Missionaries who are unfit to conduct the
affairs of government.
Let no one deride the scholar in poll
tics. The Republican national com
mittee In its campaign literature TO.
peatedly and designedly dubbed the
Democratic candidate for president as
Professor Wilson, and the Republican
candidate In whose interests this was
foolishly done finds himself with only
eight electoral votes.
Here in Wisconsin, other changes
were rung on university men by prac
teal politicians, who sought to stir
up the people against the states great
institution OF learning. Reactionary
Republicans and reactionary Demo
Gratis became, as 1t were. brothers in
making the onslaught. Figures were
juggled in an attempt to prove that the
university Is costing Wisconsin out of
all proportion to the benfits derived from
it.. However, the devices of the reac
tionaries proved OF none effect. The
people Of the state know that the sphere
of the university Ii widening year by
year, and their ballots were cast against
those who would injure it. Through
lectures and correspondence courses 1t
aims to extend it's benefits to all the peo
pie. 1t was worse than folly to try to
make political capital by unjustly charg
ing the present, state administration
with gross acknowledgement of the affairs
of the university. Fair criticism of the
management of public institutions il
always in order. Misrepresentation is
never in order,
