MIR. WARDS SUBJECT
Last Evening, The Goose That Lays
the Golden Eggs.

Following is a report of the So
cialist lecture last evening, contrib
uted to The Daily Leader:
Millions toll and sweat and strive
to make wealth. The machine grinds
on and the golden stream piles UP
and up. But the creators OF wealth
have only a bare existence. The
benefits go to a few only.
The income of the Standard Oil
Co. for twenty-five and a half years
was $921,000,000. Pierpont Morgan
at the time of his death was getting
$22,000,000 yearly. Vanderbilt is so
tremendously rich that a few years
ago he gave $1,000, 900 for a title
for his daughter. 1t Is true that
there was a man thrown in with the
title. 1t was the title that was
bought, however. Experts of the u.
s. treasury department estimate that
there are ten persons with incomes
of over s10,000,000 yearly, fifty per-
sons with incomes Of over $1,000
600 and 500 whose incomes exceed
100000. $4,000 individuals re-
ceive annually $4,000. 0O0. 900, but
100000 working people get only
$500. 100000 as a years wages.
DR.. Ryan says In his book, the Liv-
ing Wage. that so per cent receive
less than 5000 each, yearly.
Question: How does It happen?
A real estate Spectator acquires
wealth which the community creates.

THE WEATHER
AS FORECASTED FOR A WEEK
BY THE WASHINGTON
BUREAU.

Washington, April %. - Cloudy
skies and frequent rains over most
OF the country were predicted by the
weather bureau for the coming week.
The week will open with consid-
cradle cloudiness, except in the
northwest, but with little or no rain
Monday east of the Mississippi" said
the bulletin. "a disturbance over
the extreme central west will move
eastward, causing rains Monday in
the central Rocky mountain region
and the plains states.
During Tuesday and Wednesday
the rain area will extend eastward to
the lake region and the Ohio valley.
I'm the northwest and the extreme
west the week will open fair, except
in the coast states, where there will
be rains accompanying another dis
turbance now approaching the north
Pacific coast. The rains will continue
in the coast states during the first
half of the week, and will etxend by
that time over the middle and north
ern districts west of the Rocky noun
tains and probably the northwestern
states.
Later in the week this distrub-
ance will probably reach the centra.
and eastern portions of the coun-
try, preceded by rising temperatures
and attended by showers. In the far
west generally fair weather should
prevail after the middle of the week.
Temperatures will rise Monday in
the northwest and extreme west, and
after Monday in the esat. Over the
central and southern portions of the
country they will not change decid-
eddy, while over the northwest and
extreme central west they will fall
after the middle of the week"

A stock gambler is not a producer
He does not earn his wealth. Over
capitalization is another method
Thomas Ryan testified before con-
gress hat 95 per cent of railroad
stock was water and represents no
actual investment. Calumet & Hec-
la, capitalized at $4,000, 900 has
been returning s4,000,00O yearly for
AZ years. We must own the goose
that lays the golden eggs.
Capitalism is unjust. Viewed from
a moral, ethical or religious stand
point it is infamous. But the in
dividual is not to blame. 1t is the
system which is responsible.

Washington, April %. - Special
The president today declined to re-
ceive the newspapermen and also
cancelled his engagement with them
next Thursday. 1t was stated any
information he desired to make pub
lie would be given from an official
bulletin. The president conferred
with Bryan and it was understood
the mediation question was canvess-
ed but nothing made public.
Both sides in congress accepted
the statement of Wilson that there
would be no compromising of the
national honor in the proceedings re-
lating to mediation. There was grave
fear uttered by many leaders that if
the United States finally submitted
the entire settlement of the situation
to the mediators, admittedly preju-
diced against this government, the
United States might be forced to
make concessions that would not
meet the approval Of the people.
The fact that the navy has been
in battle with the Mexican forces
and marines killed added to the bit
ter feeling and a complete settle
ment is being agitated, requiring the
entire army force, to show this coun-
try cannot be insulted.

SKEGGS IN CITY ID
 LOOK OVER FIELD
Says All the Present Depu- ties Will Be RecOmmis-
 stoned for Thirty Days

H. A. Skeggs, mayor of Decatur, ana recently appointed federal marshal for the Northern district of Alabama, was looking over the field yesterday. He is we'll known in Birmingham, and there named for the position now held by Pope M. Long.
 q am simply looking the situation over, said MT. Skeggs. 'I presume that 1 will be in position to take charge of the of flee June l. I was fortunate enough to secure the position without making prom ises to anybody, and l will select my clerks and other office assistants after consideration of the ability and worth of the applicants. There will be nothing in my appointments which will smack of political awards
 MT. Skeggs reported Decatur, Morgan county and north Alabama in good condi- tion. We seem to have excellent crops this year. he added. While no man has more money than he can conveniently care for, believe that there is an era of prosperity ahead I do not anticipate any hard times or any complications which will result in a retirement of the demo- cratic party from the control of the af- fairs of the nation.''
 MT Skeggs stated that the people of Morgan county were disappointed in that they failed to nominate w. w. Callahan to Congress, but that inasmuch of E. B. Almon, the winner, was good man with considerable ability, no one was wasting time in nursing a sore toe.
 Mr. Skeggs paid visit to the marshal's s office in the federal building and called on several of the federal officials He stated that he was merely making a pre- ! lirsinary inspection of the office and the present office force. As the commissions of the present deputy marshals expire with that of Pope Long. the new marshal, MT. Skeggs stated he would recommission all the present force for 30 days with the un- derstanding that their resignations might be called for at any time after that date.
