Col. Roosevelt's assailant is not a
socialist nor an anarchist, but an
insane man who has cherished the
hallucination that he has been di-
vinely appointed to maintain the
precedent against third presiden-
tial term. This insane man does
not represent even a small element
Of public opinion. While many men
are strongly preiudiced against a
third term. nothing said on this
subject in the press or on the stump
can he construed to encourage vio-
lence as prevention. The act OF
the would-be assassin cannot be
considered as even remotely repre-
sentative of any element of opposi-
ton to Colonel Roosevelt Therefore
1t has no more political significance
than IL Colonel Roosevelt had been
injured in railroad accident and
it ought to stir hysterical persons
to foolish ebulitions.
Nothing could be more unfortu-
nate than to have Colonel Roosevelt
removed from the pending presiden-
tial contest. and the misfortune
would be the greater should he be
removed by the hard of a cowardly
assassin. Colonel Roosevelt's cand!.
dacy has raised questions that can

stated by Mr.. Seidel are in reality
Just one method con.fiscation There
could not possibly be any purchase
of these lands for the very good
reason that there would be nothing
to purchase them with. Taxation
is only another way of saying con-
| fiscation. for under this plan the
rate OF taxation woIld be made eX-
| orbitant that the farmers would be
forced to give up their lands be-
cause unable to pay the confiscatory
rate. Any farmer who subscribes to
this scheme OF turning over all far
ming lands to the socialists Is in
credibly blind to his own interests.
But the socialists plan OF contis-
cation does not stop with the farms,
although that Is the most gigantic
plan of robbery yet conceived. They
would take over every part OF the
industrial fabric. They would take
the store from the merchant, the
home from the mechanic, the prac-
tice from the physician. 1t can be
easily seen that there is not enough
money in existence to purchase all
this property. even If the govern
ment could borrow IT, Therefore the
scheme reverts to plain contisca-
tion. II is only another way of ex-
pressing the ancient definition OF
socialsm-taking away from those
who have and giving it to those who
have not. Generally the speakers OF
socalstC doctrine have buried the
real purpose of socialism under a
weight of words. Mr.. Sedel is unu-
sually frank. For the first time he |
has told the main object of the So
cialist party propaganda in words
that cannot be mistaken. No Won /

SOcIALISM'S REAL PURPOSE.

Here is a campaign utterance thd.
should be turned over and over in
the mind of every farmer in Amer
lea: when socialists are in control
of the government we will assume
ownership OF all the farming lands
in the country. That will be accom-
plished by confiscaton, purchase or
taxation Thus Emil Seidel, candi-
date for vice president on the So
cialist ticket, voiced the real pur-
pose of his propaganda in a speech
at Omaha last Sunday.
Strangely enough, there are hun
dreds oc farmers in the west who
have announced their intention of
supporting the socialist ticket. Many
Of these farmers own their farms
and have managed by hard work and
frugal living to save money to ed
ucate their children and provide for
old age. Yet they are avowed so
cialists. They are deliberately help

THE SAME OLD CRY

Whenever enc Of the highly
protected industries is threatened
with reduction of the tariff on
the product lit puts out, I'M
nediately the beneficiraries come
out with the cry that eft means
cheap labor" Which IS as much
as to say that labor gets the benefit
of protective tariff duties; and
people know that this is not the
case.
Right in Lawrence, Mass, today,
where 10000 men. women and
children-mill workers engaged in
one of the most highly protected
industries in this country-are out
of work because of strike to pre-.
vent a cut in their $6.67 and $500
week wages.
One owner of those mills SUP
ports SO many automobiles that
when asked to state the number
said he did not know how many he
had. The manufacturers in Massa-
ehusetts get the full benefit of the
tariff and pay just what wages
they please. How can their en-
ployes get their share of the
benefit Of protection?6 And under
such a state of affairs what a
bUgaboo is the statement that
protective tariff assures high
wages.
If the law provided that the
benefit of the tariff should go
direct to..the labore-s if it could be
done, then and then only would the
claim that labor gets the benefit
of high protectie tariff be true.
