BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT

All business all property, is based on the theory that the government is master of it, that it is subject to the public. Government, whether in a republic or a kingdom where a monarch acts for the people. re- cords deeds, issues licenses, grants charters. gives franchises. It regu- lates every transaction, establish ing weights and measures, the foundation of traffic There is nothing more clearly established by law than the right of the peoples government to regulate possession. and exchange. This being so, there is more reason and precedent in the law for socialism of industry, or the full control of it by the peo- pie, than for any other action the government takes. And government is various-naticnal, state, county municipal. This means that social ization may be effected or ex- change and relationships controlled from various units, some of them small

THE FOLLY or SUPPRESSION.

Only the bully hypothesis for kings can be explained the pighead- ed persistence of rulers in repeating their discovered errors. Far ago mean in intelligence to make for growth, they have not even had one judgment to make new mis- takes. AS illustrative we select the scheme of suppression. Turning to the ancient for but moment, we indicate Aristotle, suppressed and driven out of Athens-and do- minating Europe's mind for thou sand years Christ crucifed,-and history's single permanent figure. Socrates suppressed-and on the lips of every schoolboy. The early Catholic church, maltreating every gleam of reason-squaring about and taking reason to her bosom as her greatest friend.

 Tn modern times 1t was only vest crday that Bismarck accomplished the job of perfecting the German Social Democracy by his coward twelve years of despicable anti socialist laws. At the same time Russia was preparing the way for the entrance of the Socialist depu- 4es into the Duma, by that bloody expression which even the timid phili5tine calls bed because it is so far away. Even more recently, those solid worries on English shoulders have been making wo- mans suffrage inevitable, by their choke collar, none-recognition, seal ed-brain policy.

SOCIALISM IS VERY SIMPLE
 PROPOSITION.

Socialism, after all, is a relatively simple, definite and clear proposi- tion, And yet we have the amusing spectacle of philosophers, maga- zine writers, thinkers and critics attempting to tell their readers and hearers what Socialism is.
 Socialism is a principle offered as 8 guide for political procedure in our present social and economic conditions. IL is not a set, unalter- able program to be forced upon society And the principle is this: Whenever in the development of economic conditions. such as the railways, mines, manufactures, tel egraph. exprtss or the like, these institutions reach a point where their private ownership enables the owner to exploit the people, then they should be socialized- publicly owned and operated.
 The final purpose of Socialism is to eliminate from society all un- earned incomes. In order that each member of society may have for his own that amount of wealth which is the result of his own indi- vidual effort it is absolutely ne cessary to eliminate such uncarned incomes. The task of Socialism therefore, is to trace all these un- earned incomes through all the :n- tricate and complex processes of our economic life back to their sources, to discover the methods by which they arise and the means by which they may be stopped.
 Now, t is pretty generally under stood and admitted that unearned incomes arise from one to another sort of monopoly privilege. Re duced to its last analysis, this rests upon some form of private owner ship os some form of public utulity. It is the purpose of Socialism to discover every utility that gives rise to an uncarned income and when so discovered to apply to it the principle of public ownership and thus, by the reduction of the cost of the service to those who use it and the increase of wages to those wko work upon it, gradually eliminate the unearned incomes.

sM0CKs IN STYLE THIS YEAR
Garment Graces Various Social Fune-
tlons-crepes, Linens and
Ponqees Still Used.

Smocks which had great vogue last
year for garden and sport wear have
become more fashionable this year and
now grace all kinds of social functions.
The firmer materials Of last year, the
crepes, linens and pongees are still
used for the ordinary smOcks, but those
for dress wear are Of the sheerest
georgettes and some dainty ones make
use Of organdie and voile, especially
in printed patterns.
Originality is given free play In the
designing Of these garments and some
very beautiful ones have been inspired
by Japanese mandarin coats, Russian
native costumes and other oriental gar
ments.
Printed voile or printed georgette
embroidered in some bright-cOlOred
yarns will give the desired effect. The
sleeves are loose three-Quarter length
affairs with tiny balls weighting down
the corners. The belt with its pouch
pocket directly In the front Is typical

ago days it holds Miss Americas ball

Men Having Gray Eyes Have
Proved to Be Best Marksmen

Gray-eyed men, says a Fort Worth
correspondent, are the best marksmen.
This has been proved after eight
months experience at the rifle range
of Camp Bowie, and besides old army
experts will tell you the same thing.
When Capt. q. r. >Breese was here
giving his instruction in the use Of the
new rifle he said that proficiency in
craftsmanship usually ran according
to the color Of the eyes, men having
gray being the best shots, gray-blue
coming next, blue third, hazel fourth,
brown fifth, and black sixth.
Records show that soldiers whose
eyes are light brown to black cannot
shoot with accuracy at distance
greater than 500 yards and at 800
yards miss the target altogether.
Even with different nations the
color of the eyes has determined
shooting ability. Nearly every Mex
lean has brown or black eyes and they
well, they dre the poorest shots IN
the world.

Infertile Eggs
Keep Best

The greatest loss in preserved eggs
comes from the fact that fertile eggs
are preserved, according to G. s. An
derson Of the Colorado Agricultural
college. Fertile eggs will keep equally
as well as infertile eggs, providing at
no time they have been brought to a
degree of heat where the germ starts
to develop. In holding fertile eggs for
preserving, they should not be allowed
to get above so degrees Fahrenheit.
During the early spring months this Is
easily done, but In warmer weather
poultrymen should take the precaution
and produce infertile eggs. Fertiliza-
ton is not an incentive to egg produc-
ton among domestic fowls. and the
number of eggs produced will be In no
way diminished.
The fertile eggs contain no germ to
be developed, Withstand more heat,
are slow to decay, and can be preserv-
ed with the minimum amount OF loss.

Onions Good Disinfectant
in Any Case of Infection

Much has been said about the vir-
tues of the onion, but few know of it's
use as disinfectant, says the Lon
don Chronicle.
An onion cut in half and set in a
room will attract to itself all manner
Of germs, leaving the air sweet and
pure; it is therefore most valuable
in cases Of infection. You should
take care, however, to burn the onion
afterward.
No part Of an onion should ever be
used for domestic purposes after hav-
ing been allowed to lie about over
night. The eating of raw onions is a
great personal protective in time of
epidemic, and If taken with cucum-
bers the breath is left innocent of
