TOLEDO is TO OWN
ITS STREET RAILWAYS

Municipal ownership Of the street
railways was victorious in an election
just held in Toledo, Ohio, by major
ity of 1,1SS. There were only 10000
votes cast, or less than half the vote
at rthe last city election.
Silk stocking wards which went sol
idly against municipal owHership vote
working class wards where the mu-
nicipal ownership vote was strongest
did not vote heavily. Had they done
so. the majority would have been much
greater.
Three things were responsible for
the small vote; too much confidence,
roorback literature and threat of
many employers to IRE men who
voted
A long legal battle is expected as
the street car interests win now 70
into court asking for A injunction.

The verdict is a complete, white

Liutenant X. E. Lnderfelt, known
as the s'Butcher of Ludlow" got the
thickest coat of Whitewash.

The verdict says that he was justi-

the other with assaulting the colony

The court-martial finds him guilty

Factory Man.
Mr.. Factory Man. who would be

der those foremen? Who, really, has
more real right to say who those fore

Socialist idea is, that the workers in

"What method of ascertaining values
exchange values-will be in vogue
under the Socialistic form of govern
|ment? "- Studious.
The real value of any commodity Is
established by society in applying that
commodity to whatever use unfolding
Nature has for it. OF course, a pair
of shoes, for example, are not worth
as much as suit of clothes, and the
principle of exchange, or, in other
words, the medium of exchange, will
be 50 constituted, under Socialism, as
to permit the members of society TO
take from the social production
amounts in proportion to the amounts
they have contributed to society.
II. may be that that principle will
require that the shoe man will have
to make four or five pairs of shoes
before he will have enough to buy a
suit of clothing, and the proportion
may not be as great as that. Use, il
other words, will be the only means
Of determining values, under Social
ism
How will teachers be rewarded
under Socialism PREACHER.
/ The fact of school teaching, is, in
one sense, commodity is what
should be termed "A time commodity,
Ind the plan of granting compensation
Tor it will depend somewhat upon the
different degrees of competency in
the different branches of instruction
And again, the first grade teachers will
not, as a matter of fact, be granted
the same compensation. as those in the
higher branches, although they may be-
just as talented, but the effort will not
be the same in the lower as in the
higher grades.
"What will be the nature of the
plan of giving instruction in the diff
ferent trades and professions, by the
Socialists ?"-Mechanic..
At this point the philosophy of So
cialism will have to be invoked in
the formation of an answer. Social
ism means to use all workers in those
departments of industry and the pro-
fession in which those workers are
really best suited to serve; and as a
means to that end, the theory natural
ly suggests that even school children
will be closely watched, both by par
ents and teachers, for any manifesto
tons which will betray the child's
