SOCIALISM
LAID BARE

Peter w. Collins of Boston, Mass,
gave his lecture on Socialism at the
Opera House, Monday evening, to a
fair sized audience. The speaker was
certainly posted on socialism. He
quoted freely from their standard
works by their best authors. We
don't believe there were many social
lists present, but if there were they
went away not highly pleased with the
lecture. He was presented to the
audience by Rev. VIM. Reding, pas
tor of SIS. Peter & Paul church, who
stated that at the close of the lee
ture the speaker would be glad to
answer any questions that might be
asked of him on the subject under
discussion. Mr. Collins was a pleas
ant speaker and made all his points
clear and proved to be a master of
his subject. We received more infor-
nation on this subject from his hand
than we had ever read before If
his version of socialism is correct,
it will never succeed in this country
for any great length of time. This
lecture will undoubtedly be the means
and subject for considerable discus
sion pro and con ON socialism.

The PATRIOTIC GREEKS

A transformation is being witness
ed, as the nameIess tOiler who has
been backing boots or selling ba-
nanas suddenly throws off the har-
ness of trade and blossoms into
soldier.
The low estate of the Greek in
American life is one of the tragedies
of history. His ancestors We're the
greatest poets, philosophers sculptors
and soldiers that the world ever pro
duced. Yet here to-day the son is
wheeling his little push cart about,
paying his 81 fine when he violates
mysterious ordinances printed in
signs as ilIegibIe to him as
Chinese laundry bill to us.
With all this lOwly position, his
mother country the football of Eu-
rope, there is an ardent imagination
and glowing hope about the Greek
which will some day assure him q
higher place. The courtly blood of
polished ancestors still fingers in
the graceful handling of your boots
The Greek is a money maker. To
his mind Greece's low estate is not
due to lack of martial spirit, but to
the wan of a strong foundation on
the gold of the bankers. So he is
never an idIer about American streets
The push cart of to-day is the fruit
stand of tomorrow, the retail store
of next year, and the Wholesale bust
ness of the future.
He is throwing away all these air
castles, and indeed quite substantial
prospects, for the idealistic dream
of free Greece. These thousands
who are marching on this hazardous
mission from every quarter of this
country is a lesson in patriotism to
all Americans.
1t is a very real and tangible sac
rifice. Most of them will never come
back if there is real fighting. Their
little savings, their foothold in the
candy business, will be exchanged for
a grave by the Aegean sea, the Grip
pied future of a wounded man, or
helpless poverty and enfeeblement.
But the bright faces swarming into
the steerages of the Mediterranean
ships show no anticipation of this.

Of the following fruit, Oregon Pears.

The potatoes are known as the Whit

Mr.. and Mrs. DEnaven report them
selves highly pleased with their in

everything favorable. We understand
that it will not be long before Mr..
and Mrs R. A. Dunaven and Mrs. L.
Beadle will move out to the same
place. They appear to be very fav-

Goose IS HERE

Roy Walters who lives about mile
and half out on the Sigel road has
a curiosity in the shape of a three
legged goose. Mr.. Walters received
the goose from his brother Alvin
Walters, MapIeton, N. D., The bird
is a big one and weighs all of 20
pounds. Some time ago letter was
received from the brother in Maple
ton telling of the freak bird. The
story was thought to BE- a joke and
a reply to that effect sent. The
Mapleton brother offered to send the
goose provided the express charges
were paid, This was agreed to, and
the big three-Iegged goose is now
here. The goose seems to be all right
even if it has two left legs. The
extra leg grows out of the left leg
just above the joint and the foot on
this leg is turned up side down. The
three feet are all the same size.

RETAINING WALL

Since Eugene Miller has completed
the foundation walls for his new BIZ
cycle store building, it has been sug-
gested by several citizens, that the
city instead of building their wall
On an angle, they should construct
the wall paraIeHng the present one,
landing it in front of the home of
D. J. Arpin. And then filling in be-
tween the walls, and when filled,
park it. And make this an extension
of the library park. If this was done
the channel of the river, would be
made better than it would if the wall
is constructed on an angle of 45 de
grees. We have thought this mat
ter over and we believe the suggestion
is an excellent one, but it viii cost
the city a little more to extend it that
distance. However this may be, we
would respectively refer the consider
alton of this matter to the city Off
Gals who have the building of the
wall in charge. If the-wal is erect
ed upon an angle it is likely to thro
the current of the stream to the west
side, and do more damage to the Con
soIidated island than the difference
in the cost that the wall would entail
The main current Of the water would
be centered in the middle of the river
if this wall was built straight east
instead of at an angle. We hope a
careful consideration viii be given
to this suggestion before this wall
is constructed.
