"THE PERSECUTION MANIA"

Quoting Champ Clark to the effect
that IF there is an extra session the
party (Democratic) is liable to be
wiped off the map" the New York
World advises the President to re-
frain from an extra session, not so
much for the party's sake, as the
country's sake"
As one Of its reasons, the World
gives the alleged fact that business
has the persecution mania, and
manlas may be ridiculous, but they
cannot be ignored"
They cannot-with safety.
Business has been on the Congress
sional grill of uncertainty for almost
ten years. Despite the European war
it shows signs OF, recuperation. Every
thing that is likely to interfere with
the process should be avoided.
There is very little. II anything, In

justifying Congress remaining in ses'
sion. To do so will be to prolong the
uncertainty of business with no com

HOW A FARM BOY
EARNED AN AUTOMOBILE

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside contributor tells the story
Of a South Dakota boy of nineteen
who developed a tremendous enthusi-
assn for new automobile, but did
not have the necessary cash. Finally
he and his sister and other members
OF the family determined that they
could make enough money out OF hogs
to buy a machine and this they set
out to do. The sister furnished the
capital, consisting of $3.50, and with
this a boar and ten registered sows
we're purchased. The story goes on
as follows:
1.-THE next spring all Of the sows
became mothers. One farrowed, and
raised ten perfect pigs; another only
two, and the other seven varied from
three to seven. At weaving time we
had fifty.four young pigs.
"The neighbors came to see them,
and seldom left without leaving an
order for from one to three. We de-
cided on uniform price, $40 at wean'
ing time and 81 for each additional
week we kept them; also, our sales
were TO be for cash.
AT first the pigs went slowly
enough to be discouraging, but as
threshing came on and the farmers
got money they went fast, especially
on rainy days when the rancher'
couldn't thresh.
by September Is we had sol'
thirty.nine, and while our boar wa
on exhibition at county fair we wer'
offered 500 for him, which we &C
copied.

short of the required amount, but on

ipIus value. The tools and the fact
ory system he showed enabled men
Ito produce more commodities than
they could eat, wear, or use in their
homes, pleasures, etc. This surplus
value was being congested into the
hands Of the owners Of the tools and
were creating great fortunes for
these men. 1t was upon the basis Of
these facts that he built his theory
of social evolution (orarevolution as
he thought) and the struggle which
must come to society on account OF
this condition.
His theory or prophecy was: The
accumulation of wealth would con-
tinue and increase in vastness Of the
fortunes held by these men or cor
porations. This wealth would COM
mand the tools Of production, the
raw material and the finished pro-
duct until the time would come
when the production within a nation
Of commodity such as oil would be
controlled by one man or group
of men. (This is nova an accompli sh-
ed fact in the United States. When
this time came the question that
must be decided would be Who
Should OWN" A few of the people
who held title under the old fuedal
laws, or all of the people whose
labor and that of their predeces-
sors created it, which? Marx pro-
lphecied that all the people would
own collectively what they produce
ed collectively.
This is the real trust question Of
today. The popular idea today IS to
control the trust" that is the peo7
pie enter into ownership Of these
tools and commodities far enough to
have a voice in the control. The
Socialist position is that the people
should own these TOOLS and COM
|modities. esvS
A man who believes in collective
ownership is socialist. He may
believe in many things aside from
this but this is the cardinal idea he
must possess to merit the title Of So,
eialist.
We may build air castles about
conditions that may exist when col
lective ownership may come. How IT
will effect religion. the family, the
home, or any other Institution. But
this is not socialism. 1t is simply
the ideas of men who accept this
