Burglar at Dalton

Last Saturday afternoon while
Douglas Hallowell was attending
the burial of Mrs. Munson. his
mother-in-law, a tramp giving
his name as Henry Giovanni
raised a sash and crawled thru
the window into his house. The
man with the dago name pro-
ceeded to ransack the dwelling,
but appropriated nothing more
than a waterbury clock and q
good razor. He claimed that he
was hungry, and finding that
Douglas had cleaned up on back

ceived the idea that a one dollar
clock and a three dollar razor
ought 10 get him a square at

marched him to the constable.
Mr.. Hallowell lodged a complaint
before Justice Charles E. Jseger,
who promptly turned the purloin-
er over toSheriff Hardin for safe
keeping until the Circuit Court
in Salisbury in February disposes
Of him.

The Health Train

Whent Knights of old sailed

phraseology for a fight, the fame
OF their arms and courage travel

as impressive, and vastly more
productive of good health which
has been undertaken by the Chief
of the Board Of Health of Louisi-
ana. This modern valiant had his
men at arms, and while they did
not forget ther pixies and axes,
they were also armed with the
majesty of the law, and a full
complement of all the latest dis
ease preventatives. The brave
cavalcade travelled not on gaily
caparisoned horses. but in a
special railroad train, and their

trumpets, but by big headlines
in the daily and weekly press.

street and down another went

drinking water were taken TO the
laboratory in the special train
where a corps Of experts made
analyses then and there. Build
ings unfit for habitation were at

and tumbled to the ground and

Riley Hall Announces For
Congress

Hon. U. S. Hall, president Of
Pritchett College at Glasgow
has announced himself a candi-
date for Congress in the 7th
district. In a 2 column address
to voters in the Glasgow Mis-
sourians he says in part, mo
one should be nominated for
Congress solely on account Of
his personal ambition, nor solely
because he is a Democrat. He
should be nominated solely on
account Of what he stands for;
provided, Of course, that he is
otherwise qualified" The i'm
provement Of the Missouri river
and post roads by Congress. are
the two and only two things he
mentions in his address as i'm
portant, but promises the people
TO tell them more when he sees
them.

Socialism
E. B. KELLOGG,
Editor Charlton Courier.

l.
Please allow me to answer tc
the article, Socialism" in your
No. SO January IS, 1912 issue.
To make 1t as short as possible,
] will point out only parts Of
said article on which l wish to
reply. In the beginning it says,
Socialism gathers converts
from the cities chiefly; and that
In rural communities it is almost
without a following" This is
true; toe cities are making Social
lists because all industry is done
and regulated large on scales
making the before-independent
worker, dependent upon large
manufactures and corporations.
But it is short time only when
the former has to meet the same;
he cannot compete with a power
plow in use already, to raise
wheat or corn; he has the same
footing as a carpenter with his
band plane against a "a inch
planer. By and by, the farmers
will be the best Of Socialists.
The farseeing are Socialists al
ready.
Further the article says:
I'm his heart, the average
man is an Individualist," and
later. True we give up a por-
tion Of our individual liberty
when we enter organized society,
but we do this because we gain
more than we lose by II, to say
nothing Of the advantage Of
well regulated social life"
Now that is exactly the thing
Socialists are after-a well reg
ulated social life. I ask, lis the
present society well regulated
vhen women and children
work in factories while their
husbands fathers are out Of
work. Is il wellregulated when
IL few hundred mi.honeires own
most everything worth having.
while millions Of people are with
out n home. and Thousands slow
ly starving. II is false when
the article quotes the Socialist rs
saying:
let society own the homes.
and let society move the man
about from house to house"
Ny dear sir. Il Is the capitalist
who moves the people from the
houses and homes, II they are
not able TO pay rent. or interest
on mortgaged homes. Socialists
do not squirm and squeal-the
work for better times and try TO
teach the squealing. oppressed
and suffering people to take the
road to find n home.
The article further says:
Anybody who wants land
can buy Il on practically his own
terms" Now. Il would be fine
TO have a method Of this plan :
how Il can be done by n person
bare Of cash.
The article further says:
MY sympathy for the weak
and oppressed Is neither shallow
nor ftful." Further: Il am too
old now TO veer, or reverse my
course. I became a Socialist
after studying Il carefully sever
al years ago. | am now past my
73rd year have not much hope

The Republic assumes that the

The Republic is pledged to the

1t will have no other until the

Asking nothing of anybody
else that is not held to be bind

like to ask Messrs. Folk and

ton:
Will the man who loses the
Missouri delegation at Joplin
forbid the further use Of his
name as a candidate for the
presidential nomination and will
agree, as other Missouri Demo-
Gratis seem to have agreed, to
support the nominee Of the

Occupant of Room.
Frank Simmons, who rooms over
Mr.. w. H. Cobbs store, on Main
street, had a thrilling experience
Saturday night.
Mr. Cobb noticed the overhead
ceiling of his store on fire, and an in
vestigatiOn revealed the fact that the
floor of Mr.. Simmons room was
burning.
Mr.. Simmons, who had retired and
was asleep, was aroused, but as the
fire was between him and the door
to the room he could not escape and
rushed to the window on the other
side and was about to jump
out. He was prevailed upon to
wait until a ladder could be secur-
ed, which was soon done and he was
rescued.
The fire was caused by the lamp
in Mr.. Simmons room being turned
over. 1t was fortunate that the fire
burned through the floor before Mr..
Cobb closed his store for the night,
else the. building might have been
burned and Mr.. Simmons cremated.
Mr.. Simmons has been receiving
the congratulations of his friends
on his narrow escape.
