capitalism. All experience shows
that it is unlikely to last.
When a country becomes fully
developed it reaches a stage similar
to that of Britain now. The iron
law of wages begins to operate on
all workers, and men are driven
down to a bare subsistence wage.
This has not yet happened in
America, owing to the operation of
temporary causes which have put
labor in strong position, notwith-
standing the fact that the workers
are not completely organized. When
country has reached the last stage
of capitalism, nothing but Socialism

But, when attempting to take the turn into Burritt street and proceed toward Myrtle, he lost con- trol of his car and went through the wooden guard fence at the top of the railroad embankment. From there he ran about 30 feet down the steep bank, the final step being sheer drop of four to five feet off the abutment. An old mesh wire fence on the way down gave way with little trouble but probably aid- ed in checking the speed of the car. It rested with it's radiator in the ditch alongside the west rail- road track and the rear end pointed skyward on the abutment.
 A large crowd was soon attract ed, with Motorcycle Officer Hayes in charge. Trains in both directions were flagged and work of salvage gotten under way. After many diff faculties the car was finally remov- ed.
 A motorist whose identity is not known had a thrilling experience at the same bridge last night while turning from Burritt into West Main street, heading toward the city. On account of the wet road the car skidded and banged up against the fence on the south side of the bridge but the fence remain ed intact although one of the autos wheels was broken and the rear right mudguard crumpled up.
