Socialism Simplified.

tional Dictionary, Socialism is, g;
theory or system of social reform
which contemplates a complete re
construction of society, with a more
just and equitable distribution OF
wealth and labor. In popular usage
the term is often employed to indi.
cate any lawless revolutionary
schemes
According to JOhnsoG's universal
cyclopedia, Socialism is a moral re-
/ form; il is the vices of mankind and
the miseries resulting from these
vice, to which Socialism wishes TO
put an end, and it seeks it's means
not in a new Religious issue, but in
new social organization"
w. j. Clients condensed defini-
ton is, Socialism means collective
ownership of things collectively used,
and private ownership of things pri-
vately used"
At present we have collective ow-
nership of public roads, post-offices,
school houses and church buildings,
etc. We wish to extend this system
to all things collectively used. Under
the head Of private ownership comes
the little farm, stock and tools to
farm with, household goods, etc. If
private ownership of things cOllec-
lively used promotes christianity
why not sell our churchs to individ-
uals and pay exorbitant rentals for
use of them? If collective ownership
of churches does not destroy religion.
why should collective ownership Of
the industries, discourage religion?
For instance would the people of
San Francisco become infidels il
they could get their mail carried
from New York for 500. per ton?
At present they are paying $265.53
per ton. Whose religion would be
affected by riding over a collectively
owned railroad, at l per mile or
less?
Does anyone believe it is easy to
convince a man, who has to work
from ten to sixteen hours per day to
provide bread and molasses for his
is it easy to convince him or
his family that there is a just God?
If we thought so we would advO-
cate standpatism instead of Socialism
On the other hand if a man is more
apt to accept Christ by being able to
read iptelligently, and having ac-
cess to food that is necessary to keep
the body healthy, and the mind active
don't you think Socialism would help
of people to get nearer to
God? Now, that we have failed to

Brother do you believe in the sep

why are you trying to mix politics
and religion in the same kettle?
When the Abolitionist begun the
agitation for the Black mans freedom
your kind of priest and preacher
said that it was against religion.
Some of the churches split and are
not yet united, that was a great blow
to the real religion of man, for it
created a prejudice that exists to
this very day.
:. Now Brother Tin you and your
cult are doing more to harm religion
than Mr.. Tichenor or any other So
cialist writer. You tell us that our
politics are against religion, by so
doing you will drive some of us away
from christianity.

CHANGE IN GAME LAWS
Affecting Migratory Birds In This
Section of the State May Be Ex-
pected.-COngressman Bacha-
rach Now Working To
That End.

In accordance with the promises
made by Congressman Bacharach
shortly after his election, he has had
under consideration with the authori-
ties at Washington, the matter of a
change in the Federal Game Laws af-
fecting the open and closed seasons
for Black-breasted Plover, Golden Plo-
yer, Jack Snipe, Wilson Snipe, Great
er and Lesser Yellow Legs, Teal Wild
geon and other specie of ducks, which
make their feeding grounds within the
meadow boundaries of this State. In
a recent conference with the Chief of
the Biological Survey, it was stated
October 18th as the day on which a
hearing would be held concerning the
constitutionality of the Federal Mi
gratory Bird Law. In case the court
decides in favor of the law, the Bu-
eat plans to Immediately proceed to
prepare a revised set of regulations
under this law, in which an effort will
be made to conform SO nearly with
the desires of the sportsmen as can
be done without jeopardizing the OBJ
ject of the law, which is to protect
from determination our migratory
wild fowl. When this work is taken
up Congressman Bacharach's sugges-
lions regarding the desires of the
sportsmen of South Jersey will be
given consideration. Due notice will
be given through The Press when the
matter is to be considered, so that
those interested may be heard from
and the Bureau may be supplied with
facts necessary in formulating the
new regulations. Congressman Bach
arach will appreciate any suggestions
on the subject which his constituents
may care to place before him.

KEEP THE POULTRY
FLOCK HEALTHY.

In view of the fact that the eondi-
tons attendant upon housing poultry
fiocks in the fall and winter are pecu-
liarly favorable to the spread of dis
ease, the department of poultry nus
bandry of the New Jersey Agricultu-
raj Experiment Station advises that
the following precautions be taken at
the time of the fall housing.
First: Select for both the laying
and breeding fiocks only such birds
as have vigorous constitutions, we'll
developed bodies, and an active, alert
carriage. Avoid the selection of any
small, undeveloped birds with weak
dull combs, long c~row-beaked heads,
narrow shallow bodies and a general
dumpish appearance. A perfectly
healthy bird will be much better able
to withstand unfavorable conditions
and to ward off disease germs.
Second: Have the poultry houses
in a perfectly sanitary condition be-
fore housing the birds for the winter.
Damp, dirty houses harbor organisms
chicken-pox and canker. Clean, dry,
! well-ventilated houses do not afford
breeding places for disease germs.
1HlIus Use only Clean WHOleSOWe
grains and meals for feed. Avoid
mouldy or decayed food substances.
They will cause digestive troubles
which lead to more serious disorders.
Fourth: Handle the flock punctually
and carefully throughout the fall and
winter. Good health in the poultry
flock is mainly a matter of good birds
good houses, good feeds, and good
care.

LAW OF THE LAND"
APOLLO ATTRACTION

"The Law of the Land" New York
City's recent success, and which had
a years run at the 48th Street The
atre, has been secured under a heavy
guarantee, and appears at the Apollo
this Friday and Saturday with Sat
urday matinee.
The play was written by George
Broadhurst, which in itself is a guar
antee that a treat is in store for our
t~heatregoers. Mr.. B~roadhurst has
surrounded the play with a strong
cast and the entire production will be
carried. Miss Adelaide French, who
will be remembered here for her Won
derful portrayal of Madame X, a part
she created and played with great
for three seasons, will be seen
in the title role, a part particularly
suited to Miss French's talents.
The grim tragedy with which the
play opens grips the spectators heart
with pity for the young mother who
takes the law into her W hands,
against her husband to protect her
child from his brutality. She must
pay with her life, and scandal and
ruin to her child, or sacrifice the man
she loves. For a while it looks like
a tragic finish for the play. But then
comes the marvel, the wonderful chiv-
airy of the men around her. Each
is willing to protect her with his life.
1t is the chivalry largely which fur
nishes the delicious comedy relief and
brings many a gasping laugh. The
cast consists of such well known peo-
pie as Coates Gwynne.

Congressman Bacharach has re-
ceived a great number of applica-
lions for appointment to the Naval
Academy, and after giving the matter
much careful thought and considera-
ton, he has determined that the OPP
portunity to secure this honor should
be open to every young man in the
District, and that his recommended

held in Atlantic City at a date to be
agreed upon later. All who file APP
plications will be invited to take this

men receiving the highest marks will
be selected by the Congressman for
nomination as the principal and first
and second ~alternates, respectively.

Messrs. Henry NJ. Gresham, ]. j.
Unger, Aaron W. Hand and Herman
A. Stees, the superintendent of the
Schools of the four Counties compris-
ing the Second Congressional Dis
trict, to serve as a Board of Examin.
ers for the purpose of conducting the
examination, and these gentlemen
have very graciously consented e.
look after that phase of the work.
Congressman Bacharach extends a
cordial invitation to every young man
IN the District who would like to take
part in this examination to file an ap-
plication with him not later than the
first day of November. Applicants
are eligible between the ages of six
teen and twenty, but this age refeS
to the date when the candidates must
appear for examination before the
Naval Board, which will be in March,
1916. Under the government regu-
lations a boy is eligible for examina-
ton on the day he is sixteen and is
ineligible on the day he reaches TWEEN
ty years of age. All applicants must
be bona fide residents of the Second
Congressional District, of good moral
character, physically sound, well
formed and of robust constitution,
Those who feel that they cannot pass
the very rigid physical examination
conducted by the Naval Authorities,
should not enter this preliminary ex-
animation. Full particulars will be
forwarded to each applicant as soon
as the details of the examination have
been worked out. Applications should
be addressed to Hon. Isaac Bacharach.

STATE TO RAISE BASS
TO RESTOCK STREAMS.

New Jersey fish and game authori-
ties are considering the introduction
of bass raising at the State fish
hatchery, near Hackettstown, where
millions of trout, salmon and other
game fish are being reared with great
success Many anglers prefer bass
fishing to any other rod-and-line
sport, and the commission plans to
greatly increase the supply of these
fish for restocking purposes.
The bass heretofore distributed in
streams and ponds throughout the
State have been taken mostly from
the Delaware & Raritan canal and
from reservoirs in New Jersey. This
source of supply is, of course, limit
ed, but with breeding ponds at the
hatchery it can be considerably aug
mented, enabling the commission to
stock plentifully all available waters
in New Jersey.
The artificial rearing of bass will
have little in common with the rails
ing of trout at the hatchery. The
bass must be left to spawn in nests
of their own construction on the sand
ponds. Under natural conditions, the
male bass, as Don as the eggs are
deposited, takes charge of the nest,
driving away the female and other in
truders which might devour the eggs
or young fry. The male may later
turn cannibal and eat his own family.
To avoid this c~atastrophy, the hatch
cry plan provides for the removal of
the parent bass just prior to the time
their hunger for baby fish begins to
assert itself. Hundreds of young
fish can thus be saved from each nest.
Three specially constructed pools,
each 100 by 70 feet, will form the
first unit of the ~bass-raising enter
prise at the hatchery.
