Why Socialism Will Fail

New Harmony, Ind, June 8.-Rea-
sons for the failure of experiments
in socialism were discussed today by
William H. Taft in an address at the
Centennial celebration of the found
ing of New Harmony. This town
probably is the most famous place in
the United States where exponents
of socialistic and community ideas
tried to prove the practical value Of
their theories. The former president
outlined the history of these expert
ments here and drew his conclusions.
The most notable experiment at
New Harmony, that of Robert Owen
failed, he said, "as all socialism must
fail, because it found no substitute
for the motive essential to arouse
ana make constant human effort that
is furnished by the institution of pri
vate property and the shaping of re-
ward by competition and natural eco
nomic adjustment. The plan was
based on the assumption that man
was different being from what he
is. If he were so perfect that his love
OF human kind would Danish from
and retain in him the same energy
self sacrifice and industry in behalf
of others that he now manifests in
behalf of himself and those near to
him there would be no need for the
organization of a socialistic commun-
ity, because we would have it at hand.
Until men are perfect beings of this
kind, socialism must either consti-
tute tyranny so rigid as to destroy
not only the right of liberty and to
interfere with the pursuit of happi-
ness, or it must be a failure

Important Rate Decision

Washington, June S.-The supreme
court today upheld the interstate COM
merce commissions orders in the
Shreveport rate case, thus placing
interstate railroads more under the
commission and less under state COM
mission.
The Louisanian commission COM
planned to the interstate commerce
commission in March, 1911. that the
class rates charged by the railroads
for transportation in a westerly direc-
ton from Shreveport to points in
Texas were unjustly discriminatory in
that they were much greater than the
rates contemporaneously charged for
the transportation of like traffic from
Dallas and Houston in Texas, to the
same points. They complained, in
substance that trade wall had been
erected around Texas and that out
side jobbers were not permitted to
enter into the enclosed field.

Relief for Western Settlers

Washington, June 6.-Alarmed by
Senator Borah's threat to defeat the
rivers and harbors bill unless legisla-
tion for the relief of western settlers
is enacted into law this session DEM
ocratic senators and representatives
made an urgent appeal to the presi.
dent for aid and yesterday the presi-
dent sent for Representative Henry,
chairman Of the house rule commit
tee, and urged him to report special
rule under which the house can con-
slider FIVE bills on the conservation
program.
Late last evening Henry informed
the western democrats he would re.
port rule providing for considera-
ton OF these bills as soon as the
sundry civil bill is passed by the
house. This probably insures final
passage of the 2G-year reclamation
bill and several other measures de-
.manded by the west if Henry makes
good his promise.

New Mexican Crisis

Washington, June IA new crisis
in the Mexican difficulty faced the
Washington government tonight. it
was situation fraught with perils
for mediation, and with possibilities
that might precipitate war between
the United States and Mexico.
General Huerta brought about the
crisis by ordering gunboats to block
ade the port of Tampico, and to seize
cargo of ammunition en- route there
for constitutionalists, aboard the
steamer Antilla from New York, fly.
ing the Cuban flag. Huerta has mott
fed the powers OF his intent to block
ade the port and he purposes to seize
the cargo consigned to the rebels
against his sovereignty as contraband
of war.
The purpose of the United States
to suppress the attempt to blockade
and prevent interference with the An
tilla was indicated tonight, when Sec
retary Daniels issued an official state
ment announcing that while no new
orders had been given Rear Admiral
Badger. there had been no change il.

erence to the desire that the port of
Tampico shall be open to all com.
merce.

Bogus Cure For HOG Cholera

Washington, June 6.-Evidence of
what appears to be a we'll organized
campaign to delude farmers through
out the country into buying an alleg-
ed cure for hog cholera, under the i'm
preston that this has been investi.
gated and approved by the United
States government, has reached the
department of agriculture. Articles
praising this medicine, Benetol by
name, are being sent out widespread
to newspapers. These articles are
so worded that it appears as if the
department of agriculture had re-
ceived reports from the state of Min.
nesota showing that the medicine
had proved most beneficial
AS matter of fact the one report
received by the department was an
unofficial and unsolicited statement
sent presumably from the promoters
themselves. The department at
taches no Importance whatever to
this statement. 1t has no reason to
believe in the efficiency of and pro-
prietary cure for hog cholera and
does not recommend any. Under GER
tain conditions it urges farmers to
protect their stock with anti-hog
cholera serum but that is all.

nounced tonight, after conference
with the president, that the election
of directors of the new reserve banks

Secretary McAdoo gave out a state
ment in which he said:
1T is pleasing to note that the an
nual scare of tight or insufficient
money to move the crops has not ap-
peared this year. There will be no
difficulty about providing the money
that may be required to move the crop

Dynamite Planted by Watchman

Washington, June 3.-The finding
OF five sticks OF dynamite with burn
ing fuses attached under the office of
Secretary Houston of the department
of agriculture led to the arrest of
Daniel II. Jauch, the watclman, who
found the explosive.
The first warning was given the
clerks and government officials in the
building by the watchman, who rush
ed through the corridors shouting
that the massive structure was about
to be destroyed by dynamite.
Hundreds fled to safety while sew
eral ran to the basement, where they
found the sticks of dynamite, on
which the fuses had burned out. Ap-
parently an explosion had been avert
ed only because the fuses had been
jammed so tightly into the detonation
caps that the fire was extinguished.

Smart Trick by Land Dealer

Helena, June 4.-Land dealers act
ing as agents cannot represent to
their principals that tracts will not
bring the prices demanded by the
principals and thus persuade them to
accept lower figure and then pock-
ct the difference themselves.
The supreme court settled this
point in reversing the district court of
Cascade, which held in favor of the
defendant in suit brought by the
NIddlefork Cattle company against
Ira Z. Todd.
Todd was employed by the plaintiff
company to sell certain land for it
for $4,000, he to receive five per cent
upon the selling price. Todd later
represented to the plaintiff that he
could secure for the land an amount
sufficient only to net the plaintiff,
which would be upon the basis of a
total selling price of $1,000. The rep
resentation was fraudulent, Todd
pocketing the extra $1,000. When
the cattle company discovered it, it
began suit.

COMPROMISE ON REPEAL
Senators Would. Protect. Right To
Make EXEMPTIONS

Washington, June GA compro-
mise amendment to the tolls repeal
bill, drawn by Senator Simmons for
the administration forces and Sena-
tor Norris for republican senators,
will be offered when the bill comes to
vote in the senate.
The new amendment embodies all
of the original Simmons amendment
recommended by the senate inter-
oceanic canal committee, as we'll as
the more emphatic reservation in the
amendment proposed by Senator Nor
ris several days ago as a substitute
for the committee amendment. The
strength developed for the Norris
amendment, particularly on the dem
ocratic side, influenced the admins
tration forces to modify their amend
ment. The compromise reads:
"That the passage of this act shall
not be construed or held as a waiver
or REIMBURSEMENT of any right the
United States may have under the
treaty with Great Britain, ratified the
18th Ct November, 1901, or otherwise,
to exempt vessels of the United States
or its citizens from the payment of
tolls for passage through said canal,
Or IN any way waving, impairing or
affecting any right of the United
States under said treaty or otherwise
with respect to the sovereignty over
the ownership, control and manage
ment of said canal and the regula-
finn nf tho conditions ~,

Shipped Ammunition to Mexico

Washington, June 3.-Ammunition
for the constitutionalists of Mexico
left American shores from New York
while Mexican mediation apparently
marked time at Niagara Falls, the at
titude of the constitutionalists serv-
ing as stumbling block in the ne
gotiations.
Information that the steamer An
tilla, which recently was fired upon
by constitutionalists outside Tampico
had left New York with munitions of
war, created considerable stir in
Washington. The vessel was cleared
without interference on the part of
the United States, much to the sur
prise Of Secretary Bryan and other de-
partment officials. Subsequently, it
was discovered that an order to pre-.
vent clearance of such vessels had
been delayed and that the Antilla had
procured clearance while the Wash
ington government believed steps ef-
fectua!ly had been taken to prevent
her sailing.

MEDIAT0RS ARE HOPEFUL
Plan for Pacification Of Mexico Meets
With Approval

WIN VpPtOvdI
Niagara Falls, Ont. June S.-The
United States government, through
Justice Lamar and Frederick w. Leh.
mann, presented to the three South
American mediators today a complete
plan for the pacification of Mexico.
1t is the same in principle as that
presented by the mediators, and al
ready agreed to by the Huerta gov
ernment. It contemplates establish.
ment at the earliest date practicable,
of provisional government in Mex.
leo City, which would conduct gen.
eral elections for permanent gov
ernment.
The plan written by the American
delegates, after consultation with
Washington, contains several counter
propositions, of which the Huerta
delegates would be advised.
The mediators now are trying to
evolve method by which the peace
plan will meet the approval of the
constitutionalists before protocol
is signed, though the American gov
ernment may conduct negotiations
with the constitutionalists.
There is a feeling of confidence
that the constitutionalists eventually
will approve the plans being worked
out. While details of the peace plan
are necessarily withheld until there
is a final agreement, it is known that
a large share in the new provisional
government will be given to the con-
stitutiOnalists.

PASS ANTITRUST BILLS
House Of Representatives Carries Out
Administration Program

Washington, June 5.-All three bills
on the administration trust program
passed the house late today and were
sent to the senate for action.
Opposition melted away when the
final test came, and the voting went
through quickly. The Covington in
terstate trade commission bill was
passed without a record vote; the
Clayton omnibus antitrust measure
received 275 votes to 81 against it,
and the vote on the Rayburn rail.
road capitalization bill was 325 to IL.
The clerk hardly had finished the
last roll call before the house had
settled down to consideration of the
sundry civil appropriation bill, one
of several supply measures that must
be disposed of before the session
ends. The adjournment problem now
is squarely up to the senate. and the
democratic leaders on that side of the
capitol are expected to agree on a
program in the near future.
The Rayburn bill makes it unlawful
for any common carrier to issue
stocks, bonds, notes and other evil
dences of Indebtedness without the
approval of the commission.
The bill broadens the powers Of the
commission to require information
railroads and other common carriers
and prescribes an elaborate system
of reports. The commission would be
authorized to require reports on the
financial condition of railroads, bal
anced statements or receipts and ex-
penditures in relation to capital ac-
counts, and all other financial trans.
actions.

he has only slim chance of winning
out, but he is understood to be de-

out adequate provision being made
for the protection of his own future
and for that of the men with whom
he has surrounded himself.
The constitutionalists, it is said,
have insisted that no act of General
Huerta's administration shall ever be
regarded as legal and in this case
General Huerta foresees enormous
financial losses for those who Joined
in the flotations of his loans as we'll as
