Third Party a Menace
to All Home OtUnerS

Milwaukee. [By Special Corre-
spondentl. The doctrine of Socialism,
and its practical application, is in di-
rect opposition to the civilized order of
private ownership of property State
ownership of land-the farm and the
home-is the fundamental of MARKHAM
| Socialism. For many years indirect
methods were used among farmers to
win them over to these doctrines as
to ownership of land. Nothing was
achieved among the farmers to force
an acceptance of this theory.
About ten years ago, the leaders of
MARKHAM Socialism in labor circles de-
cided, if they were to secure results
among farmers, their plan must be
concealed under a different name.
Townley, a MARKHAM Socialist, started
the new campaign among the farmers
Originally, Townley was radical
labor agitator. In the beginning he
was told that he could not succeed.
In reply to that, he said
at can take Socialism and sugar
| coat it with the words: Farmers
| National Non-Partisan League and
every farmer in the whole country
will take the whole dose and come
back for more"
The next step was to absorb La
Toilette as the progressive sugar
coated pill as an influence upon the
farmers to bring them into the So
cialist fold. He is now the Socialist
candidate for the Presidency.
La Follette's chief adviser and man
ager of the Socialist campaign in the
east is Morris Hillquit. How does
Hillquit stand upon the question of
private ownership of land? The fol-
lowing are his own words:
There can be no absolute private
title to land. The private ownership
of the land is the rock upon which
class rule is built; political govern
ment is its indispensable instrument
The wage workers can not be freed
from exploitation without conquering
the political power and substituting
collective for private ownership of
land"
These are the declared doctrines of
Hillquit and the cardinal principle of
MARKHAM Socialism. In becoming the
Socialist candidate for President, La
Toilette not only accepts this doctrine,
but becomes its chief exponent By
adopting this doctrine, La Toilette
becomes the political exponent of
those who seek to destroy private
ownership of land. The ultimate Of
this means the destruction of the
farm and home.

Buys DOckery Property.

Last week the Dockery residence
property located on corner of Rail
road and Spruce was sold to Frank
Wiericks, owner of the Eagle Bat
terry & Tire Shop, and it is the in
tention of the owner to later on
erect a business block on this
property. This property is one OF
the old land marks, but in this
age of progression must go fo1
more business improvements such
as any growing village demands
when business keeps on the in
crease.

The Towns Good Will.

Good will is one of the assets of
a business. When the firm changes
hands by purchase, good will must
be paid for along with the physi-
cal facilities. IF anything happens
to endanger good will, the whole
strength of the organization is
brought to bear at once; for good
will is too valuable to be lost.
Good will is just as essential to
a town or a city as it is to a
business. Create the impression
that your community is made up
Of citizenship of builders, that
it does things for the happiness
and development of the Individual,
that it is fair and honest and hos
pitable to strangers, and that i'm
preston will work for you
throughout the "a hours of the
day. It will work for you just as
good will brings business to the
firm which possesses it.
Often the difference between a
successful business and failing
business is a matter of good will.
We wonder if that is not also true
of the successful and the I'M
successful community.
At any rate, those communities
which understand the value of
good will are alive to every oppor-
tunity to build it up Recently
Two Rivers hit upon a novel plan.
Instead of the time-honored priv
ate ads on the curtain of its
theatre, Two Rivers decided to dc
community advertising. These ads
are addressed to the citizen, to
give him a better understanding
Of his city and it's opportunities
and to the stranger within the
gates.
Many other ways there are of
creating good will. Tourist camps
comfort stations, directing signs
good schools and churches, civic
improvements, prosperous bust
ness houses and support of the
newspaper which voices the public
opinion of the community-all
these play their part. They are
builders of good will.
The important thing to remem-
Der is that good WILL like any
other asset of value, must be ere
ated; it doesn't just grow.-Mil-
waukee Journal.

Dissolve Village.

The village of Mcmillan, in
Marathon county, has the unique
distinction of being the first in
corporated community in the state
to vote to dissolve it's village char
ter and revert back into the town
ship government. The census of
1920 gave the population of this
village as 81. Fifteen years ago
it was thriving numbering viii
lage with a population of over
1000. With the passing Of the
mills the population slowly
dwindled away until there was
hardly people enough to more
than fill the elective offices. For
two decades A. E. Beebe had
represented this village on the
county board without a dissenting
vote. During the same period he
had also served in the legislature.

GOOD OLD LARRY PHIPPs

Twenty years ago, aged l2. Law

Thru exercise Of the homely virtues.
frugality and industry. he had accu-
mulated some twenty odd million and
is thus q shining example Of what
America Affords by way Of opportuni-
ty for deserving youth.
Thus We gather from pamphlet Of
"a pages encased in q beautiful cover,
that we found on q vacant seat in the
gallery at Denver auditorium yester-
day, while watching from safe place
the proceedings Of Mr.. Phipps' person
ally controlled assembly, advertised as
the Republican state assembly.
The pamphlet cover bears the le-
gend: Fighting Phipps," which Is
presumed TO be the index to the great
mans character, altho the close study
Of this literary production fails to
enlighten US as to just whom Mr..
Phipps fought and when the celebrat-
ed battle occurred.
We know Of no more touching work
than this modest relation Of the boy
hood life Of struggling Fighting

Back in 1878 Lawrence c. was only
16 years old and job at q dollar a

Some years later II occurred to old
Pierpont Morgan that all the steel
mills ought to be consolidated, SO he
handed Carnegie half a billion in bonds
and his partner, Henry Phipps. uncle
of the Colorado senator, about hund-
red million and the Phipps collaterals
proportionate share In . twelve
hundred million concern to be known
as the U. S. Steel corporation. And
Lawrence got his twenty millions OF
the beautiful certificates and bonds.
Strenuous life! Tears well into our
eyes as we dwell upon the picture OF
that boy denying himself all the
creature comforts except what 4 dol.
lar day would buy, and being doled
out later q mere pittance Of his part
in making the steel industry SO i'm
portant that it attracted the attention
Of the colossus Of American finance!
Here was self-made man indeed.
The labor was arduous and he retired
at the age Of AZ with the modest comp
etency heretofore mentioned. And
this state unnindful of this wonder.
full mans need Of the rest SO long ard
arduous employment entitled him to,
arose en- masse, placed him in the SEN
ate, imposed upon him the task OF
saving Colorado's interests, and out OF
the plentitude Of his gratitude, he
volunteered to serve them six years
more.
