The News Item hopes for a time when conditions in America will be so free and just that every individual be he laborer, farmer, mechanic, business or professional man, will receive the just rewards of his ser vice rendered society without the in tervention of a commercial trust or a labor union. It should be made impossible for either to exist in a country established for its freedom to all, by the people and for the peo ple. In other words, we long for a time when every man, like the pro verbial tub, must stand on his own bottom. This we regard to be emi nently just and what is, in fact sought by the vast majority of the people, and after all the rank and file of men do not seek special advan tages over their neighbors, but in tuitively feel that all have a right to ask that which is their own. The Railroad corporation's 10 per cent advance in wages to the over worked employees was protvcih-d by an advance in freight rates and it i now in keeping with the fitness of things to follow it by a similar in crease. How strange it is that God didn't make some of America's mil lionaire in the beginning so that their ambitions could have been ful ly realized. The hearing lately in progress before the anthracite strike commission would be laughable if the subject matter were not.so serious. It is strange beyond comprehension that a body of intelligent men such as make up the commission, should spend any wasteful time in listening to the questions propounded to the witnesses by the attorneys for the toal companies. Unless the com mission will recognize what every impartial student of the coal problem realizes that the real conflict is not between labor and true capital, as is commonly supposed, but between labor and vicious monopoly, it might just as well have adjourned perman ently. If grants are conceded to the miners the public must suffer an un reasonable advance in the coal they must buy. If not this, the miners will be soft-soaped and let down easy while the operators in either case will be none the worse for the ex perience. The inquiry, unless all present signs fail, will turn out as previous inquiries have, a complete farce. President Roosevelt's honest efforts will be futile when rebuffed by his powerful adversaries. The strike will never bring Justice to the laborer and community. Ar bitration will never bring about a similar result, because the monopoly can extort as much toll from the pub lic as it so designs. Its strength is that of a Sampson and until It will be shorn of the secret of its power, like Sampson of old, it will hold at bay and smite the mightiest army arrayed against it, no matter how skillfully generaled. They have late ly demonstrated that they are fear leas in insulting Governors and Sen ators and even defy the President of the United States. They have grown to be IT, our government is 0 ! The public ownership of our country's iron highways is now re ceiving the public's serious attention and well it is so. Monopoly of pub lic necessities., has never been sup posed to be part of the bargain in private ownership of anything. Can the public intolerate indefinitely a dependence upon monopolized nat ural resources in commodities of prime necessity? The coal barons own the railroad over which their products are sent to market, herein seems the secret of their power. The general belief now spreading throughout the country is that pub lic ownership of shipping highways would place the operators and man ufacturers of trust products under governmental restrictions as they would b > dependent upon the govern ment for means of getting their pro duct to market. Under these con ditions, it is contended, the taxing power, if necessary, could be applied in dead earnest and what now ap pears to be as impregnable as Gibral tar would then crumble like a house of cards. To do all this would require radi cal changes. It would demand the overthrow of institutions that some of us cherish as devoutly as fore fathers cherished the institution of slavery. But slavery, in the light of modern civilization, was recogniz |ed by the pioneers of thought as j morally wrong and when this thought ! permeated the masses, slavery had |to go the way of all wrong. But, mark, not by the slaves striking with their masters and destroying' property and suffering the public, with a lack of daily needs, nor by slave commissions appointed by the President, but by the people rising up enmass and demanding that slave ry be abolished. If monopoly is to be abolished the same method must be applied. If this excites the mil lionaire railroader to secession,there will be no war over it. The Union can spare him. He can remain abroad and squander his American earned wealth on titled son-in-laws. The time looks not afar off when either of our leading parties will be obliged to adopt the measure of pub lic ownership of railroads or meet de feat at the polls. We draw this in ference from the fact that the last election compared with a year ago shows a remarkable increase in the Socialist vote of our country. In Massachusetts the Socialists polled 82,105 votes in 291 cities. The vote w-is D.'ij last year in Rochester and ibis year 2,ft!)2. In this state twelve counties gave Debs for president, 2,800 votes, gave Slayton for gover nor 8,500. Dayton, Ohio, gain, 130 percent Montana gained 500 per cent. The City of Chicago polled a Socialist vote of 15,000, a gain of 140 per cent. The state of Minnesota over 15,000 and so on goes the re markable increase in the number of those throughout the United State who believe that this country should operate its railroads. It is a subject well worth studying and thoroughly understood by the masses and we will therefore open our col umns to a discussion on both sides of the subject to those who wish to en g«ge.
