Says Guilt Admitted.

The proprietors of these institutions
frankly plead guilty to the charge and
admit in the broadest terms that their
existence is a menace to the republic and
that their inordinate appetite must be
cuTbed.
Here then. Is presented The anomaly
OF prop1etors Of great institutions ad-
mltting that they have created mon
stefe dangerous 10 society. They appeal
To the law TO restrain their own evil
propensities. but at the same time ask
a government charter authorizing them
TO continue In business.
1T is admitted that they will possess
the power to exact arbitrary tribute
upon Substantially every necessity OF
life, But Is proposed the amount they
shall take. the profit they shall make.
shall be limited by the government.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1912-01-21
Gives Explanation.

The finality OF this proposition Is that
the government shall assume duties Of
management and control as burdensome
as those which fall upon a proprietor.
but that the profits Of The monopoly thus
created shall be divided among the few
wealthy men who control its capital
stock.
What now. ia tho difference between
this plan and the policy or that party
which capitalists love 10 condemn and
cxecrate under the name OF socialism,
IL ls this; The prolctarian socialist pro-
poses that the government shall oXer-
else ell the functions above described
for the benefit OF all the people; the
plutocratic socialist proposes that the
government shall perform these duties
for the beneft OF few favored indivjd-
uals,
Between these two propositions the

n DAPPER young referee gave
~ 400 fight fans chance to en-
joy a good nights sleep
when he declared Barney Ford, Of
Philadelphia, had fouled Terry
Mitchell, of New York, in the
fourth round of the main bout at
Harry Staten's Olympic club.
1t was a foul blow all right and
we were all glad that the referee
saw It, for otherwise we might
have been forced to sit through the
entire scheduled ten rounds. And
goodness knows we wouldn't have
cared to do that, unless some of US
prefer wrestling to boxing.
The blow that ended our misery
was a left swing that didn't carry
much steam but it was far below
the limit in the Marquis of Queens
berry code. The wallop probably
didn't hurt Mitchell in the least,
but he saw a chance for victory
and mis- only opportunity he had to
win, by the way-so he took an
awful "Brodie.'
While neither boy knew any too
much about the game of hit and
get away, Ford verify is the bet
ter boy. He is fairly clever and
packs fair kick in his left hand
Mitchell probably can hit the hard

floor and wooden man could

Said face has suffered many beat

and his nose covers his face like a

This same face led Ford to believe
that his only hope of winning was
by working on the body and there

part OF Mitchell's anatomy.

While in Jackson last week Chappelle
admitted that he had such aspira tons and
added that he intended to go 70 New York

navigation, with the idea of adopting
aviation as a profession. He disclaimed
any intention to abandon baseball but

successful flights during the state fair in

There is one difficulty that seems to
stand in the way of Chappelles attaining
the object of his desire. That is his
weight. The Chattanooga slab artist, his
friends assert has the nerve that is es-
Sential to successful endeavor in the avi-
alton profession, but they fear his weight
will interfere.
