was unable to make. a sufficient
amount to keep him comfortably
alive. He was able to exist and that
was all.
Then Fritz went wrong.
Near Adel he discovered aufarm

himself to reporter Wednesday af-
ternoon, like "easy pickings." Enter
ing the home he robbed it of an the
money he could find, half dollar
and a gold watch. Justice took
speedy steps and within q short time

matory at Anamosa. His sentences

against him read breaking and en-

RELEASED
and SENT HOME
Youthful Swiss Released From Pris-
on and Enroute to Relatives.

Cedar Rapids, Nov. 27.-Fritz
Tischauser is glad that he is going
back to his native Switzerland.
1t is nearly two years since he left
his home and parents in the little
town of Carus. Since breaking home
ties the young man has travelled
thousands of miles and seen many
countries of the civilized and unciv-
ilized globe. Egypt. Spain, Africa
and Cape Horn are on his calling
list.
Wednesday morning Fritz arrived
in Cedar Rapids. He left the same
afternoon bound for Chicago where
he was to remain over night, contin-
uing his journey eastward to New
York Thursday morning. From the
Atlantic seaport he will ship, bound
for Hamburg, Germany, and from
there he will hurry on as rapidly as
possible to his friends and parents
in the country of the Alps.
Fritz is sailor by trade. He is
only 10, but he has had, in this short
span of years, more experiences Of
interest than many men crowd into
a full sized life time. Leaving Liv-
erpool, England, a year ago last
July, he shipped on board a coasting
steamer bound for America. Land
ing in New York three weeks later
he received his pay and then, since
time hung heavily on his hands, he
decided that he would take trip to
the western coast of the United
States. Il

sciously by the Socialistic spirit OF
the times, John D. Rockefeller has
put back into society one knows not
Ihow many millions. II it is good
for part Of the profit Of public in
dustry to come back into public life
would it not be better If all the in
come had been earned comparatively
and kept in the public purse? That
lis the theory of Socialism. The Steel
Trust furnished another illustration
|of the same principle at work. Mr..
Carnegie has given back to society
many millions of money earned by
himself and the public. 1t is but a
very short step further to condi-
ton under which the profits of in
dustry would be earned by all and
enjoyed by all.
The Kendall Young Library of
Webster City served for a forceful IL
Illustration of the same principle in
operation. BY means proper and
=, ( .
legitimate, Kendall Young earned a
fortune. When the shadow on the
dial was long Mr.. Young deliberate
ly turned what amounts to a large
fortune back to the community in
which and by which he had earned
his money. Today the society of
Webster City owns the fruit of Mr..
Young's industry. Without know
ing it, Mr.. Young beneficently So
cialized his fortune. Our electric
plant and our water works
are an illustration of Socialistic prin-
cipfes. No private individual
makes a profit out OF these public
in Webster City. The earn
ings go into the public purse.
Mr.. Metcalf closed his lecture
with strong appeal for an open
mind and an open heart. He urged
that men study all theories of social
and that they be in SYM
oathy. with all classes and conditions
If human society.
