WANTED-A CREED.
~
T., !.

It is difficult at times, to know
whether to speak kindly or un-
kindly of socialism. It is, in fact,
difficult to talk about socialism at
all.
The reason is, that there is a
little uncertainty as to what So
cialism is, at least in the average
mind. There are many doc
trines which we once called So
cialistic and which are now part
Of a conservative policy. One
might almost say reactio'hary, or
imperialistic.
The term "socialism,'' as gener
ally understood, embraces almost
anything, from the best to the
to the worst. In the socialist
party there is as much divergence
Of opinion as in the republican or
democratic parties probably a
good deal more. It is difficult to
determine upon labels for any Of
our parties and to classify each
group under one Of them.
For example. There are So
cialists who say that all men are
born equal This is lunacy. We
are not. Some men are born
transcendent geniuses. Some are
born imbeciles. It is not the fault
Of the imbeciles, but the two class
es are not equal. That is, unless
the word "equal' means some
thing it has never yet meant.
One man has the manual dex-
terity to make first-class paper
hanger. Unless a man can hang
certain number Of rolls a day
he can not qualify for the union.
It ism t as easy as it seems. Some
men try for long time to learn
it, and never succeed. They can
| only qualify at pushing a wheel
barrow It is unfortunate, but we
are not all born equal.
Many socialists admit this, but
declare that we should all be Civ
en- equal opportunities Of learn
ing. This is good sense. And if
this is socialism we take off our
hat to that part Of it.
We have not yet attained to
this consummation, but we ought
to try by legislation. Many a
man s best faculties remain unde-
veloped because he has to earn a
living at a very early age. He
has no time to train these dor
mant faculties, apd is therefore
at disadvantage in competing
with the rich man, son.
1t is unquestionably an 'advan-
tage to- have a rich father, and
there is no sense in taking that
advantage away. That is bolshe
vism. Give everybody the same
advantage in education; it is sim
ply a matter Of taxation. There
is many brilliant intellect which
under present conditions, neve,
works at full pressure for the be
nefit Of mankind.
The truth of the matter is, tha
1--WE are still lacking sane ant
sensible creed. If the best in al
: parties could be grouped into on
! new creed We mi ght come some
7 where near to the point Of Uto

There is a driveway through the mid.

dock for the sheep to run in during
the winter, or at Landing time, if
they so desire.
Last year they wintered $500
ewes and lost less than IA per cent
The sheep were shipped from New
Mexico late in the fall, which made
their breeding irregular, as the sheep
had to get adapted to the change Of
climatic conditions, and as a natural
result the increase was not what it
! would be under normal conditions
1t was not quite 100 per cent the
first spring.
l found all the sheep in good
healthy condition. Last years lambs
have made excellent growth and are
going to- develop into ewes weighing
from ten to twenty pounds more
than their mothers. It was very
gratifying to see the way things are
progressing on this ranch in the
heart of this logged-off country. Any
one doubling the possibilities of sue
cessfully wintering sheep by the
thousands in this section has only to
take the time to visit this ranch, to
be convinced that it can be done.
George West, treasurer of = the
company, and the man who has. to
pay the bills, said: eve are not ex:
pecting big dividends the first or
second years, but the third year, and
from that time on, we. will get re-
turns that we will be proud Of. Our
lands will. be cleared, and we will be
producing our own feed, and our as
sets will increase to many times
what we have invested. This land is
all good agricultural land. The sheep
will do most Of the clearing them
selves, and in a short time. there will
be a perfect blue grass and clover

might call it factory, and we are
well pleased with the results

who have successfully wintered from

four to six hundred ewes, with
splendid returns, but this was the
first time | had visited a ranch in
the middle west where thousands of
sheep had been wintered, and it was
a great inspiration to me. I told Mr..
Solliday that I was glad to now be
able to tell the many westerners
who anticipate coming to Cloverland
with many thousands of sheep, if
the wintering proposition can be
solved, that they would be taking
no chance on that score.
This year they are wintering about
$500 sheep, and if the wool brings a
fair price it will more than pay for
the cost of wintering.
Thousands of our farmers have
made excellent profits from sheep
raising in a small way, but here is a
large institution which has proven
that thousands of sheep can also be
handled successfully and with profit.

Strenuous Efforts Are to Be

"a Christian ought to pay his debts
and keep his sidewalk clean in win

in reference to the present condition
of the walks and streets Of the city
resulting from the recent storm.
At a meeting of the city council
held Wednesday night it was deter
mined to put a force of men to work
at once cleaning up the chief thor
oughfares of the city. This was done
this morning, but labor is scarce, and
much difficulty is being experienced
in getting enough men and teams to
perform this work promptly.
It is estimated that the removal Of
the 10Y from the main thorough
fares will cost approximately 5000.
In the meantime the fact that many
residents of the city have not cleaned
(oH their sidewalks is complicating
the problem.
Assistant Postmaster J. j. DUNLAP
announced this morning that unless
the thoroughfares Of both the city and
rural districts were cleaned. up, ,deliv-
