7. RS SOCIALISM
GETS A VOLLEY
Member of that Party Makes Few
Very Pertinent Remarks.

To the Editor: The writer of this. be-
ing a Socialist, is not often stirred TO
wild enthusiasm by the editorial utter
ances OF The Herald; but your ''Slaugh-
ter of Innocents'' In to-day's issue calls
for the warmest kind or commentator.
1t is a pity the editorial cannot reach
the eyes and reversionary senslbinties
OF every sportsman
While knocking at your space door,"
permit an additional word-anent a story
In your news columns to-day ME-
Roosevelt is quoted as saying yesterday
at Bridgeport, Conn:
MIR. Deos wishes TO pull down IN a
spirit of hatred. 1 wish to build up in a
spirit OF brotherly love. Some OF the
Socialists want to go so lar that they
can't see where they are going. and you
can't either. II you try to take all the
steps toward reform at once you'u rnd
II quite a straddIe- Iouu probably split
yourself, and not get anywhere
In reply: There is no more loving or
Iovable man on earth than Gene Debs
II his writings or speeches signify TO
pull down IN spirit OF hatred" tnen
SO did the words of Jesus Christ when
He said. Woe unto you scrioes and
Pharisees, hypocrites, which devour
widows houses and for a pretense make
long prayers" Moreover. IL Roosevelt is
moved by spirit OF brotherly love, as
ne says, the fact never has leaked out
until now. Perhaps his shrinking, but
nevertheless well-khOwn, modesty and
general self-enacement have heretofore
concealed It. Perhaps his desire to con-
ceaI 1t has been the underlying cause
OF his virulent abuse OF every one whose
statements ever disagreed with his about
any subject OF discussion whatsoever.
Perhaps this same desire to conceal such
a mollycoddle weakness. to wit his over
flowing Observation-Disclosures and loving
kindness. has led him to revel in the
slaughter of all manner OF living crea-
lures
Referring to the last part OF his state
ment quoted above, IF you try to take
all the steps toward reform at once,
&c, the Socialist contention is that
there is one question before society
which which should be settled at once,
that no other question can be settled
satisfactorily or permanently until this
basic one is settled This question is
the bread question. The Socialist propo-
society is now sutricientIy equipped with
productive and d1striputive machinery
TO feed, cIotne, and shelter the whole,
and not merely a part, or itself. the
feeding, clothing. and sheltering should
be put into effect II MIR. kooseyelts
idea Is that the settling or the bread
question means the taking or all the
steps toward reform at once he claims
much more for II than the Socialists
do; for, while they understand that bread
Is a fundamental necessity in human
life and activity, they nevertheless unan-
Imously agree with Jesus Christ that
man shall not live by bread alone"
And If he CMr RoosevelD thinks that
the one step to the settlement of the
bread question is so long that society
will split itself In taking il, he is mis-
taken-for we already are almost at the
goal. SOCIALIST.

Need of "Co-operative Credit"

Pursuant to President Taft's effort
to introduce cooperative credit in the
United States, Ambassador Leishman
has sent in a report on the system of
rural banks in Germany and of what
is known there as its complementary
Schulze-Delitzsch bank system, which
furnishes credit at low rates to arti-
sans, workmen, and small business
men in Germany. These latter (ur-
ban) cooperative banks more nearly
resemble ordinary banks than the rural
associations. This is natural, for they
deal with a more complex social con-
dition, and they lack the backing of
the collective guarantee founded on
land, and of the community interest in
seeing that loans are used for produc-
tive purposes. Hence, they have con-
siderable capital, instead of the merely
nominal one of the rural institutions,
and, as a result, are able to 90 more
general banking business.
The primary objects of these banks
is to furnish their members with cheap,
quick money They lend on current
account and for stated periods.
Worl1men or small tradesmen need
ing this aid are able to secure It on
the guarantee of their fellows in the
association Loans for fixed periods
are made On the cooperative pledges

NAVY DEPARTMENT
PEEVED AT WARD
Rear Admiral May Be Retired Be-
cause He Refused Two Assign
ments Offered Him.

Rear Admiral Aaron II. Ward, now SUI
pervisor of the port of New York, may
find himself in an embarrassing position
on the general board Of the navy, and
his plea of i'll health as his reason for
not accepting the appointment as naval
aid to Secretary of State Knox on the
latters mission to japan. The Navy De-
partment, perhaps somewhat irritated at
these two declinations of assignments
upon the part of Admiral Ward. has Or
dered a medical survey of his case to de-
termine the state Of his health, with a
view to recommending his retirement
from active service IL he is found physi-
cally incapacitated for active duties.
When Admiral Ward, who was for two
years aid for inspections under Secretary
Meyer. was this summer offered a place
on the general board after his relief
from command of a division of the fleet,
he declined the assignment. His reason
was, it is understood that acceptance
of the assignment necessitated moving
his family to Washington. He has for
some time had a pleasant home in a
Long Island suburb. which he disllked
to give up. especially as he is due to
retire, because of age, next year. Con-
sequently, he asked for and received ap-
pointment as supervisor of the port Of
New York.
Last month he was asked to accom-
pany Secretary Knox to Japan as his
naval aid at the funeral ceremonies of
the late Emperor Mutsuhito. This as
signment the admiral also. declined and
pleaded i'll health. Then followed the
order for the medical survey. 1t is said
in some quarters that Secretary Meyer
has the notion that Admiral Ward
wishes to enjoy a year of ease at his
home previous to his forthcoming re-
tirement

THE PEOPLES FORUM
GEN. MORGAN DIED
In TEN NESSEE
Was Killed by Soldier in Vineyard
of Home Where He Was
Stopping.

To the Editor: 1 have read the item
published in The Herald of recent date
headed, Says Gen. Morgan lived until
1899" The article. dated Guthrie, Okla.
and with no signature, claims that Gen.
John NJ Cole, lived until 1899. when he
died in the Indian Territory.
This article is evidently an ingenious
tumble of facts and fiction. the sub
stance of which has been published in
a number of other daily newspapers
whose editors should have known that
the main statements contained were not
true.
Gen John H. Morgan was killed in
Greenville, Tenn, on or about Septem-
Der 4. 1864. l am native of this county.
and although l have no personal knowl-
edge as to the facts, / have taken great
pains to ascertain the particulars
was intimately acquainted with the
members of Mrs. Williams family, where
Gen. Morgan was stopping. and have con-
suited with the men who were present
and saw him after he was killed and
have obtained the facts in relation TO
the killing from at least one man who
was a member of his staff at the time.
He was killed in the garden or vine
yard of Mrs C. D. Williams by a soldier
named Campbell. and his body placed
on a horse. was taken to the Federal
headquarters. more than a mile distant
II was afterward washed and placed in
coffin and delivered under a flag of
truce TO his command.
My purpose in gaining the information
was to correct other historical mac
curacies in relation to the manner of
the killing which has been done IN sew
eral leading newspapers as well as in
several books which contained accounts
of the killing.

Manuel Quezon's Patriotism.

Whatever merit the appeal for Phil
i2pine independence may have or lack,
the method of appeal adopted by Man
uel Quezon, Resident Delegate from the
Philippines, who will publish maga-
zine in Washington to set forth to
Congress and the American people the
conditions upon which the Filipinos
base their. appeal must command both
admiration and respect.
Mr.. Quezon's determination to fully
inform Congress and the people, with
whom, he wisely recognizes, must re-
main the ultimate fate of the connec-
tions between the islands and the
United States, demonstrates his con-
fidence in the business and integrity of
his cause. In this unique monthly
magazine, of which Manuel Quezon,
Resident Delegate from the Philippine
Islands" is editor, there will be state
ments of fact and opinion to show
why the Filipinos want independence,
and why they believe they ought to
have independence. The fact that Mr..
Quezon, officially as the representative
of the Filipino people, is the editor OF
the magazine, will give it greater au-
thority as spokesman OF a peoples
rights, and will win for it a reader
and wider sympathy among the Amer
lean people.
This mode of placing before the peo-
pie and their representatives, in Con-
gress the needs and aspirations of de-
pendent constituency is new and I'M
tried. But with a patriotic purpose,
with intelligent direction, and a quick
comprehension of the tenor of present
political conditions, The Filipino Peo-
ple-for so Mr.. Quezon has chris
tened his publication-must almost in
evitably prove of great value not only
to Mr.. Quezon and his constituency,
but to Congress and its vast constitu-
ency, who are essentially and natively
desirous, let it be hoped, to behold with
seeing eyes and to judge with an un-
derstanding head.
The Filipino people must feel en-
couraged 60 know that they are rep
resented by Delegate whose activi-
ties in the Capital OF the nation are
supplemented by his use of the power
full agent of publicity for the purpose
of informing the people OF the United
States how to determine their duties
to their brethren in the far-off seas.

The Payne Tariff-A Comparison.

The average duty on all dutiable i'm
ports under the Payne tariff since it
went into effect is al per cent, while
the average duty on all imports-free
and dutiable-is not quite 81 per cent.
The only reliable test of whether a
tariff revision is upward or downward
is the figures gathered from official
statistics under it. When a tariff is
revised upward" imports quite natu-
rally decrease, but when it is revised
downward" the imports increase. The
first ten months of the operation Of
the Payne tariff showed larger imports
than ever have been made in like
period of time in our commercial his
tory. They also show that the aver
age rate of duty on imports is lower
than it ever has been before under
the operation of any other tariff.
During the Mckinley tariff the aver
age duty on dutiable imports was II
per cent. and upon all imports (duti-
able or free) 22 per cent Under the
Wilson tariff the figures averaged 48
and n per cent, and under the Dingley
act 46 and IS per cent
If these figures lie, our Federal sta
tistical bureau should be cleaned out
and competent men placed in charge.
But as long as We have no other sta
tistics to go by, we have to accept those
furnished by the government, and these
prove that the official records show the
Payne tariff. taken as a whole, to be
the lowest for twenty-five years.

The Lesson from Vermont.

The result in Vermont has shown that
Mr.. Roosevelt cannot get enough votes
in Republican territory to do him or
his party any good. And if he cannot
get them there how can he expect to
procure them in Democratic strong
holds? The Vermont election is proof
of Mr.. Roosevelt's political shrewdness
in playing the game. While his mana
gers insisted (they always claim every
thing in sight) that the third term
party would poll more votes than Re
publicans and Democrats together, he
himself doubted his success in that
State,7 thus keeping ioophole open,
to which now he can point with GER
tain satisfaction.
While able to tie up the vote, yet his
party could gather only a small frac-
ton of the whole vote cast, despite
the fact that every Roosevelt vote there
is in the Green Mountain State was
put in the ballot box, while heavy
downpour kept many Republicans at
home. This being the case, there can
be no more Roosevelt votes cast in
November, simply because, all. being
cast Tuesday, there are no more to be
marshaled up for the national cleo
ton. Mr.. Wilson, so far as the Bull
Moose strength in Vermont is con-
cerned, naturally must be the gamer,
because the Democratic candidate for
Governor did not lose any votes.
This, however, will not do that gu
bernatorial candidate any good in the
present case. The third party having
got no further than to tie up the vote,
the election will be thrown into the Leg
islature, which is strongly Republican.
The Republican candidate for Governor
is. therefore, as good as elected But
this is not all Vermont not only re-
tains a Republican Legislature, but it
re-elects her two Republican Congress
men, and her next Governor will be
a RepublicaR! Then why this lament.
this pessimistic forecast for November,
when Roosevelt cannot overtop Mr..
Taft? 1t may be a close contest for
the latter. but if only a handful OF
the Bull Moosers are made to see the
error of their ways, the Republican
ticket is safe Quite naturally the news
dispatches say that the Republicans
have lost their grip in Vermont" but
this does not spell defeat 1t means
a reduced majority We agree with the
New York World In Vermont the
elephant still leads, but he is no steeple-
chaser" Figures are away ahead of
forecasts.
The Vermont lesson makes it plain
that Roosevelt cannot be elected Presi-
dent The most he can hope for is to
bring about the election of DR.. Wilson.
If he could not match the Democratic
candidate in a Republican State, it is
but fair to anticipate that in a Dem
ocratic State he will disappear alto
gether To our mind there is now
nothing else left for the third
party men than to choose between the
election of either Taft or Wilson.
Roosevelt is out to a certainty.
After a strenuous personal campaign
by the most adroit and popular poll
tician of the day, at the first flush of
enthusiasm of his followers, Roosevelt
was outroted nearly two to one in

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
THE RIFLEMEN.

On Tarieton's reckless horsemen came
Like winters roughest blast
The rifles spurted sheets OF name
And the rifiemen stood fast
At Cowpens was the tight that day
And fierce was Tarleton's pack
But the sturdy rangers stood at bay
And drove the troopers back.
At bay the sturdy rangers stood
In tattered buckskin clad. -
A grlzzled grandsire bathed in blood
Touched elbows with lad.
And naught was Tarleton's dread re-
nown.
In vain he galloped past.
The rifles moved his troopers down
And the riflemen stood fast.
