where wealth is the only sin;
Where no one is man or master, and
no one is poor or rich,
But all folks live in concord with
never the slightest hitch. i.
Where no one tolls for profit, or the
ordid greed of gain,
But each for the good of the others
strives daily might and main;
Where the work is SO we'll apportioned
it is little more than play,
And the common stock is divided in
equal shares each day.
Where silver and gold are never used,
except for art and craft,
And there being no need of money
there is never a case of graft;
For never was model nation so per-
fectly planned as this
With its happiest folks that ever were
blest with sweet Elysian bliss.
Plato and Saint Augustine. Harring-
ton, Bacon and More,
Those builders of ideal cities, creators
of dreamland lore,
Were worthy seers in their ancient
way, and yet the truth to state,
They were put in the shade when
Jones had made Utopia up to date.
When the scheme was ripe and the
funds were in, he took his faithful
band
Away from corruption capital to a
far of foreign strand,
And there they began to build town
on the altruistic plan
With its equal wealth, and equal pay
and equal rights of man.
With never a selfish motive and never
a'sordid view,
But each for all and all for each the
very best would do;
All goods were held in common, at q
common board they ate,
And bliss serene on each face was seen
in the start of that trial state.
But an unsupported evil with their
cargo had been booked,
One Karl Marx Edward Bellamy Jones
had entirely overlooked,
It was simply HUMAN NATURE, that
annoying part of man,
Which has wrecked each Socialistie
state since history began.
For this is law of the human race;
but few will work or fight,
Unless for our special efforts there are
special gains in sight;
For the quickest brain will slacken
and the strongest arm will shirk
If swift and slow, unskilled and skilled
are paid alike for work.
All wealth from the earth is lifted by
the magnet force of gain,
And the altruist dream of equal wealth
is vainest of the vain;
For the end of all fool systems that
equalize rewards
Is equality in the poverty of the print
tive savage hordes.
In all the lands they've tried then to
failure came their schemes,
And the shores of time are Uttered
with the wrecks of social dreams
No wonder the sorry ending, stern
economic fate
OF Karl Marx Edward Bellamy Jones
and his Altruistic State.
&c. Douglas, San Francisco Chronicle

THE ALTRUISTIC STATE

Now this is the tale of an altruist who
lived not long ago.
A politico-economic tale that each So
cialist should know;
For the theme Of its stirring story con-
Germs the curious fate
OF Karl Edward Bellamy Jones and his
Altruistic State.
You may Judge from his lengthy label
that Jones had a Jealous sire,
A Communist and Progressivist who
burned with reforming fire,
A man who dreamed of the glorious
time when all shall equal be.
And hoped that his son might be the
one to set the wage slaves" free.
From earliest youth to his manhood up
it was Jones' Joy to read
OF "the sins Of bloated plutocrats,"
of "the monster trusts that feed
On the sweat and blood of the toiler,"
of "the idle rich," who ride
And splash on "the honest worker"
"the mud of their insolent pride"
Just what was "bloated plutocrat"
Brother Jones could never say.
But it seemed a mellifuous mouthful
when mouthed in the proper way;
Like the dear old Scottish lady who
infinite comfort found
In "thot bless'd word Mesopotamia"
and its "awfu' glorious sound"
He stored up all such phrases, all the
cant of the MARKHAM cause,
For he who would "save humanity
must be skilled to win applause;
Since logic is quite superfluous, and
the facts amount to nix,
With an eloquent voice, an assortment
choice of dramatic platform tricks.
And this latter day Demosthenes, de.
signed on the soap-box plan,
Compelled street crowds to worship
when he'd rant on the rights of
man;
He called them "the poor down-trod-
den," and "outcasts sore op-
pressed"
Though most of his hearers looked
healthy, we'll fed and neatly
dressed.
But Jones had a style magnetic, flood
of emotional gush,
Cold storage grief and pathos, canned
sentimental slush;
The breakfast food Of reformers, and
the Socialist stock in trade,
For Of such are the great orations OF
the agitators made.
Like many great uplifter he'd dash
of the Pharisee,
And believed that of good intentions
he had sole monopoly;
That all who dared oppose him base
motives proved thereby,
And the only badges of virtue were
red flags and bloodshot eye.
Yet for all his faults and foibles he
was far from a simple Jay,
For this altruistic communist made his
agitating pay;
1t advertised his novels and made the
millions read;
They were mines of gold those tales
we'll told of "capitalistic greed"
For they spread afar the gospel and
brought the converts in
To his scheme for an ideal nation

ADDITION TO THE

Patrons of Irving District Will
Hold Meeting to Lay Matter
Before Board.

Patrons of the Irving school al
Twentieth street and Ninth avenue
have been working quietly for several
weeks preparing petition TO be sub
mitted to the board of education for
the charging of the building. They
have now decided to hold a meeting
| for a discussion of the question and it
will be held at the school at 1880 next
Thursday evening. Members of the
board of education will be asked to
confer with parents and others inter-
ested in the school.
Growth of the part of the city about
and especially south of the school,
renders il imperative that more room
be furnished at once for the education
of the children For several years
there has been no eighth grade instruc-
ton there, the older pupils having to
walk many blocks TO the Irving or
Lincoln buildings. Some OF the classes
OF younger pupils are now quartered
in the basement
Admission of South Rock Island ter
ritory probably will make 1t necessary
to provide facilities for instruction in
the eighth grade at the Irving. mas
much as the distance is too great for
the children to go to the schools
where this work is now done.
Many are also in favor of having a
manual training department intro
duced at the Irving and an assembly
room large enough for parents meet
ings and social center work.
Erecting an addition to the building
on the present lot would cut down the
play yard considerably and II may be
thought advisable to secure additional
property.
All these questions will be consider
ed at Thursdays meeting. which has
been called by officers of the improve
ment associations which were formed
last spring TO look after the interests
OF the property owners when paving
plans were under consideration.

''Bunty Pulls the Strings" comes to

the three acts Bunty's delicate hand
manipulates the wires that entangle
the situation until all is clear, and
then she takes her patient Wellum

BILE to convey any idea of the fascina-
ton exercised by this enchanting play.
The atmosphere created by the old
fashioned costumes-the play is laid
in hoop-skirt days-by the homely sur
roundings, and, above all, the beautiful
burr that sounds in every word spoken,
is needed. A line here and there may
be recalled; for instance, the hopeful
air with which the elder promises,
