State Highway commission.
John Clark Scates Of Westbrook, who
for several years has made study Of
the road problem IN the State, and
whose booklet. why IL New Hampshire
Doing Better Road Work Than Maine, q
has been 50 frequently quoted and
commented upon by the press, estimates
that approximately $500. 900 can be made
available for Trunk Line work in 1912.
II it is . fact, as his figures surely seem
to demonstrate, there is great oppor-
tunity for the State Highway Commits
sion.
Mr.. Scates says: Evidently during
the coming year some of the worst and
at the same time most Travelled roads in
the State should become thing of the
past. The greater part Of the road from
Kittery to Portland and from Frye
burg to Bridgton is a disgrace to any
civilized community and has done more
to injure the fair name Of the State than
else.
at is evident to everyone that little or
nothing has been done this year on the
trunk line road laid out by the last legis-
lature. The reason is also obvious to
those familiar with State affairs-a lack
Of ready cash. Next year will witness
an entire change and the money already
should be available. This
with the automobile license fees will be
approximately $500, 900.
'.The highway law provides that all
monies left over from the highway ap-
after the cities and towns
applying for State aid have received
heir apportionment shall be applied to
trunk line work. Here are the approx
nate figures:

calism is strongest there is close harmony
between the Socialist party and the unions.
In this country many union officials and
members are socialists.
Socialism has an international organiza-
ton The Socialist parties of the world
meet through delegates in congresses which
discuss larger principles and policies. Tac-
tics 10 a considerable extent are left to
each country. There is an international So
cialist bureau at Brussels for the transac-
ton of affairs between congresses. In this
country the party is composed OF l2oVo0
dues-paying members, men and women, Or
ganized in locals, who elect their oflcials,
make nominations for public office, conduct
campaigns. publish newspapers, carry on
propaganda and meet In state and national
conventions. There is national executive
committee and national secretary. Can

to act according TO party principles. Be-
sides the Socialist party with Its 10000
membership and perhaps 100000 votes
there Is a Socialist Labor party with about
5000 votes. The latter is simply an ultra
radical fraction. 1t antagonizes trades
unionism and is excessively orthodox In
Marxism
Who are the Socialists? In a large sense,
all those who regularly vote the ticket. not
merely party members. Those who occa-
sionally vote the ticket are near-Socialists,
Fabans, sympathizers or reformers. There
are In the movement opportunists. impos-

picture OF an unborn society la Fourier
does not accord with a conception OF social
evolution, a natural development instead OF
a scheme or plan. Nevertheless, study OF
present tendencies sheds light on the
bilities to be made.
It is likely that In the first period of the
new era there will be unequal compensa-
ton OF workers, depending on individual
skill and ability, but afterward compensa-
ton may be equalized. There will always
be minimum, insuring comfort for every
worker. Production will be only for use.
When the millions of any land are well
fed clothed. housed educated provided
with recreations and amusements-whicn,
Ii is calculated, can be done on a three or
four hour workday-the workers will not
worry about new markets or surplus capt.
tai. They will simply drop their tools and
take rest. Women, especially mothers.
will be made economically Independent of
men through suitable work or pensions. and
this will result In radical change in the
relation of the sexes There will be no
prostitution or child labor.
The present day courts will be abolished,
since their function OF dealing with prop
erty disputes and crimes of property. or
poverty, will be gone. There will be no d.
vorce cases, damage suits, business litiga-
tions, will cases. Courts managed by medi-
cal experts will deal with the few criminals
of passion, congenital detectives and the
like, and will send them to sanatoriums.
The Police Department Will be turned into
sanitary squatl. All physicians will be
publicly employed. The army and navy, no
longer needed for the gaining of new mar
kets and empires of trade. will be abol-
ished. Congress will become body OF in

Special to the EVENTNG NEWS.
South AmOby, May 2O:-On one
or two occasions George Batzel, man
ager of G. Straub's meat market on
the north side of the city, had rea-
son to believe that his place of bust
ness was being entered during the
night. Friday night Officer Ryan
was placed in the office of the estab-
lishment to trap, II possible, the
maurader or m~auraders.
Between 8 and 10 o'clock the Off
Ger saw a hand protrude through a
broken pane of glass. remove the
fastening of the window, raise the
sash and enter, passing close by the
officer without discovering him. He
went to the rear door and admitted
a companion. They then proceeded
to the cash register where they were
quickly followed by Ryan who told
them the jig was up. One of the
robbers concluded to make a break
for liberty and undertook to duck
between the end of the meat bench
and the desk, but was halted by
Ryan.
The youthful burglars who were
about thirteen or fourteen years of
age, were John Downs In the upper
part of the city, and Andrew Manion.
They were taken before Judge Bir-
mingham who parOled them in the
custody of their parents to appear
before Judge DAILY in the juvenile
court, Friday.
