Private monopoly is indie
feasible and intolerable. Its GEN.
trail arch---the plea of efficiency
is built on sand, not on the bed
rock of fact.
Take the steel trust. 1t has
steadily lost business to it's indie
pendent competitors at home,
while German manufacturer
yes, even the manufacturers OF
despised England-have outdis-
tanced 1t abroad.
-Four factors enter into the
question of efficiency, viz:
Il. The amount of capital or
which dividends must be earned
-. Cost of raw material.
3. The spirit of the labor
employed.
"a. Ability to keep the plant
In continuous operation to the
highest possible degree.
1.-THE Great Northern ore lease
is an example of the cost of raw
material under trust manage
ment. In order to get a monop.
oily of ore supply they agree to
pay SO cents per ton royalty, with
an annual accretion of 8 4-1O
cents more, as against a royalty
of 10 cents per ton formerly paid
between five and six times as
much under monopoly as under
competition.
And labor? Read the Pitts
burg Survey-open 1t anywhere
from cover to cover. In their
greed for profits they have crushed
labor into a state of utter hope

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 2.-As
the result of a colossal travesty
of justice, the million dollar dam
and plant of the Washington
Water Power Co. at Post Falls,
Z Idaho, is being guarded night and
day by armed men to keep the en-
ragged settlers along the Spokane
river between Post Falls and Occur
d'Alene lake and along the shores
of the lake itself from blowing it
up with dynamite.
, x Telephone connections have
been made between the various
!, points where the dams and flood
( gates of the company are located,
and the river above the upper dam
has been screened to prevent dy-
Mantle being floated down.
The trouble arises from the RI
diculously low damages awarded
the people living along the shofe
of the river and lake for land
owned by them that has been COM
.pletely inundated by the back
Z water of the dam of the Water
Power Co. and rendered useless.
The appraisers appointed by the
federal court of the Northern dis
trict of Idaho estimated the land as
worth little less than $4,000, a
sum which, according to the low
est and most conservative figures
submitted by the settlers, is about
one-third of the real value of the
land.
In, 1889 the Washington Water
Power Co. built, at Post Falls, a
dam ito utilize the river in the
produetion of electricity. In re-
cent years the dam has been in
creased In height, resulting in
overflow on many acres of fertile
land above the falls.
An offer to settle out of court
was made by the company, but de-
clined by the settlers because the
amount did not nearly represent

The city dug the tunnel for the
spillway from the McMillen raser-
yoir by day labor but it will not

Joint Pipe Co. has offcsed to build
the pipe for Sc foot. There will
be 1900 feet, which makes a bill
of $4,000. The council consid-
cred it this morning but took no
action.

lessness. And over-wealth curses
the man above, as over-work blasts
the man below"
Gould any of you senators live
and labor under such conditions
and keep up any interest in your
work." he went on. why,
those laborers are the driven
slaves of the steel trust! Their
spirit is crushed, as their trades
union was crushed at Homestead,
and their efficiency is gone. So
these aggregations of capital will
crush all trades unionism and re-
duce to helplessness every branch
of labor they touch. And the free
dom of the ballot will not save
them. POLITICAL LIBERTY
Al } INDUSTRIAL SERVITUDE
CANNOT EXIST TOGETHER.
"The steel trust has had 33 per
cent of its plant idle over long
pcriods-enOugh TO drag any bust
ness down.
Now, these evils are not due
to the mere abuse of the trust
system; they are inherent in the
system of private monopoly,
which is necessarily destructive of
economic efficiency and equally
destructive of social efficiency.
Such was the testimony of
Louis ID. Brandeis in support of
Senator LaFollette's bill supple
menting the Sherman antitrust
law. He stood the fire of ques-
tions from trust senators for three
days and ended as he began

4 have reason to reiterate the state
mcnt that he recently made in a
tluctd interval that my socialists
are not such a bad lot" for 1t is
generally admitted the greatest
political and economic peace
movement formed since the birth
of the Christian. era will receive
another mighty impetus in the
Fatherland in few weeks.
At the recent municipal election
in Berlin the socialists carried is
out of Is districts, including the
one in which the Emperor's pal
ace is situated, and nearly every
parliamentary bye-election has
been won by the working class
party during the past two years.
In exactly the same ratio as So
icialism grows the horrors of war
disappear from the earth, not
wholly because of the election of
anti-war agitators to government
al positions, but through the
steady spread of the principles of
peace and fraternity in all civ
1llzed countries as gagged and
manifested by the popular will ex-
pressed at the ballot box.

In the present war between

'Possums Created a Disturbance
and Frightened Away Burglars.

A. A. Marks of Port Washing
ton, l.. L., received two live pos
sums from a Tennessee friend for
a Christmas gift, and sent them
from New York out to his home.
When he reached home he found
the house brilliantly lighted, much
furniture disarranged, and the two
'possums racing about. The family
didn't know what the 'possums
were for and had let them out.
