WHERE THE LINE RUNS.

Did you ever stop to think that
practically all those who advocate
political ownership of now privately
owned businesses own no businesses
themselves?
Those who would put the govern
ment in business are, of course, MOI
the business men of the country, nor
are they the propertied persons of
the United States. There are, to be
sure, sprinkling of unthinking ones
who have acquired some property and
who favor government ownership
and operation of big Business"
Some of the demagogues own prop
erty, but speaking broadly, the pres
ent demand for Socialist things comes
from those who have nothing and
who yammer for the drastic treat
ment of those who have something.
AS they see it they have nothing to
lose and everything to gain.
One reason why this un-American
beast of appropriation and capital
levy" now loose among US does not
look good to a majority of citizens is
because there are so many property
owners in all the states. Abroad,
where comparatively few have any,
thing tangible, the idea of taking
from those who have for the benefit
of those who have not, appeals to the
majority, which fact explains the

RAILROAD BROTHERHOOD
WANTS PROFITS.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers owns S3,000,000 worth of
coal mines in West Virginia. The
union miners have been on strike
since April over the corporation re-
fusing to pay the union price for min
ing. President Stone, also manager
of the mine says that in paying the
union labor scale they lose 10 cents
a ton, without allowing anything for
the capital invested; and so their
capital is dead.
The retort of President Lewis of
the Mine Workers is in effect that it
is the owners affair whether he can
manage his property so as to make
any money after meeting the miners
demands. Back in 1919, Mr.. Stone
himself testified in favor of the
Plumb railroad plan, and said "It is
a question whether capital is entitled
to ANY return" Friend Lewis
brings it back to him in implying the
miners right to render the Brother
hoods 100000 investment unprofit-
able.
No human instinct is more deeply
rooted than that of acquiring prop
erty. Believing that property own
ing is right, the Brotherhood fought
and saved to get it. With more seas
onal work, with more competition,
with vastly greater numbers of in
harmonious units with less social
standing, and with proper pay, the
miners are now where the Brother
hood was a generation ago. But they
have hope. Just now, the union miner
is doing what the Brotherhood did, in

rapid growth of bolshevism in Eu-
rope.
There is no reason in the world
why a man with home or a bank ac-
count should see anything good in the
plan of taking from the thrifty for
the benefit of thriftless. He stands
not to gain-but always to lose.
The chief element in the spirit
which moves those responsible for the
wisconsin idea" is contained in that
little word of four letters-e-n-v-y.
1t is simply an appeal to the primal
instinct of greed
The whole business might be lik-
ened to the spirit Of the man who
would say to a twelve-year-old boy:
"You keep Jones, the owner of the or
chard, busy at the other end of his
farm and l will steal his fruit. AS a
reward l will give you half the apples
1 get away with"
Naturally, all orchard owners are
against such a man, once they I'M
derstand he is after their apples. But
it happens that the thief we are con-
sidering is pretty clever, and so he
says blandly, 81 never raid orchards
except they contain a thousand or
more trees"
AS few orchards are as big as that,
the owner of a few trees is thus made
to think that the thief will not steal
his possessions. In Russia, however,
the owners of few trees discovered
that the thieves had designs on all
orchards of whatever size, once they
had become strong enough in num-
bers to compel owners to submit to
them.
What is contemplate is merely
theft by political robbery, and no
