something of the remedy believed in by one
eighth of this papers supporters?
No more so than it is unfair to ask the one
eighth Socialist readers to give heed to Mr. lifts
splendid exposition of the value of the institution
of private property, and his for believing
socialism wrong.
The editor believes in the existenl of the
evils the Socialists would remedy. He does not
believe, however, that government ownership
would be practical remedy.
The editor believes sincerely does Mr.
Tiff in the incaculable value of private property
| to the individuals freedom of action He does
not believe, however, that a small minority
should monopolize all private property and a
great majority be unjustly deprived of their
snare IN the common heritage.
Therefore, inasmuch as he believes in con-
structive opposed to destructive criticism, the
editor has published the two series, one for and
the other against socialism, as an introduction
to third series.
The editor belongs to class or school of
thinkers who believe that regulated competition
will satisfy the socialist and the individualist,
when properly and thoroughly understood by
both. In his opinion one of the saddest cases of
lack of forethought has been the inability of
economists and leaders of men to realize the vast
u11tC1CllCC UctWeSu anu dILlllCldI
oily; and the way to deal with both.
Regulated competition. Regulated by the
collective efforts of all society through govern
ment freed from invisible powers by the smpli-
flying processes of such institutions as the inita-
tive, referendum and recall, etc. The benefits of
private property retained because, under such a
regulated competition with the rights of all citi
zens rigidly guarded by popularity controlled
government, everyone will have the share in the
common store of private property that his ability
plus his legitimate efforts entitle him to.
1t has been pleasing to note in the past week
another example of the continual awakening in
terest in this theory. The editor of the Outlook
over an article on the uniform price principle
the absolute and only fundamental basis for
regulating competition-noted that just uni
form price had been applied in wiping out the
special privilege in railroad rebates, so it might
be used in abolishing special privilege from all
industry.
It is because the editor wants to help his read
ers become grounded on all sides of the great
economic and social crisis Of this age that these
series being published. Let the light of
knowledge and study and observation in, and
the dark haunting spectres of present economic
and industrial injustice will soon disappear
But first there must be an enlightened public
opinion. And enlightenment presupposes access
to the means thereof knowledge.

platform adopted in national conyen-
ton at Chicago, May, 1908. The So
cialist party demands measures
which will seize the whole powers of
government and turn them over to the
proletariat." Thus one class will usurp
all at the expense of all other classes.
| The measures" advocated are the mi
tiative and referendum, recall OF
| judges and judicial decisions, the abO-
! lition of the United States senate, the
destruction OF the United States SUI
power upon the constitutionaiity OF
laws made by legislatures or through
referendum; and the United States
constitution recalled or remodelled by
the voice of the people" Any student
of American history and government
will see at once that this means revo-
luton and subversion of liberty, law
and order.

vision between master and slave.
The ruling class" the dominant
class" the privileged class" were
slave owners who ruled with the lash,
the bloodhound and the handcuff.
This class built up an aristocracy
more arrogant and cruel than any ev-
aristocracy of capital, monopoly, mer-
gers and trusts in human flesh. They
had vast sums invested in men, wom-
en- and children's flesh, just as capital
is now invested in horses, COWS, sheep
and calves. 1t was the only time when
one class ruled absolutely in America
and it is as true as a proposition in
Euclid that one class rule always
means slavery.

Less than six per cent of the white

Class Rule
By Edgar Tiff

Under socialism one class will
usurp all the expense of all other
classes.
Glass" as a term is deIusory.
You can never tell where one
class leaves off and another begins.
One class, or any class, rule is un-
American.
The only class rule America ever
experienced was at the hands of
the slave owning class of the
South.
And class rule" always will
mean slavery.
The success of socialism's at
tempt to turn over the whole power
of government to one class, would
close the door of opportunity to
millions of Americans.

This is exactly the American idea
today and when the Socialist attempts
to create artificial classes he butts his
head against a stone wall. Herbert
Spencer. the greatest of all modern
philosophers, says:
Look at men how you please with
titles of upper, middle and lower

The Quincy Journal has registered
a howl" because OF the fact that

it does slip by the outer guard, can
have but little to say regarding the
scenic effects to be utilized next year.
Whether or not Quincy IS included,
when the predicted revampins opera
ton is performed, is a matter Of in
difference to The Argus. Rock Island
fans and The Argus have nc objection
to Quincy and would gladly see that
city in the southern end of the cir
cult.
Rock Island is chiefly concerned in
the personnel Of the northern cities,
and favors Dubuque, Rockford, Rock
Island and Davenport. Cedar Rapids
and Waterloo are practically out of
the question. Rock Island wants a
compact northern circuit, new league
president and class B ball. Outside
of that, everything is lovely.

He played with Rockford in the old
Three-I days and is now owned by the
Dubuque club. His name has only
been suggested and it is not known
that ne is the man wanted or that
he would accept the place.
Other fans do not want the player,
They admit that he has been a popu-
lar player for years, but should not
be tried out here. The big ones who
have drifted down to the WI. cir

not been overly successful Among
those who tried to manage in this

4 lost will found in a ceiling at
Chatsworth reminds us of the curious
case of Lord Hailes' will. He was a
Scotch judge, and when he died in
1892. as no testamentary paper could be
discovered, the heir-at-law was about
to take possession of the estates to the
exclusion of his daughter and only
child. She sent some of her servants
to lock up the family mansion. which
she had to give up, and from some
window shutters there dropped out
upon the floor from behind a panel the
missing will. which secured her all the
family estates and property. Why do
people take the trouble to make, sign
wills properly attested and then con-
ceal them? Can they enjoy posthu.

JOE BERGER HANDED
LIFE SIZED LEMON

Irving Vaughn. the dope artist for
the Chicago Record-Herald, hands
Heinie Berger an awful knock this
morning. lie claims that the ca
Islander is laying down on the job or
words to that effect However. here's
the dope. Peruse it yourself:
What the Sox need more than any
thing is a second baseman. Rath was
let out after two years trial because
he didn't put his heart into the game.
He always played the odds in his fav-
or not taking any chances on being
injured. Had he shown an inclination
70 dive into base runners as he was
taught day after day by Kid Gleason,
he might still be in the majors.
Berger is becoming the same kind
OF a player and with such a gent
around second. II is too easy for an
opponent to reach that bag. He look
ed bad yesterday by letting Collins
throw go TO Weaver on the other side
OF the bag with the result of its hitting
Maisel in the back and giving him an
extra base. He appeared weak again
when he was thrown out at third on
what was intended for a sacrifice and
what was a good bunt by Weaver.
While the second sack position is
weak the berth on the opposite side
is being strengthened Weaver is
showing q marked improvement. Not
only has his hitting picked UP wonder
fully, but his fielding has toned down.
When he is doing his defensive work
consistently there is not a greater
shortstop in the business. Wise old
baseball heads who have seen him in
action pronounce him nothing short of
a wonderful player There is a big
prospect of his being in the 800 ranks
Of hitters In another season. A heavy
clouter TO goad on the others is the
one thing sadly needed by Callahan.
