The one depends upon the other. There can be no distant markets unless: a profit can be earned upon the movement of wares, The agitators cannot escape these facts. Those who approach the railroads with destruc- tive gestures will positively get nowhere. A western daily newspaper started by Social- ists and owned on the co-operative plan, which also characterized its management, has recently suspended and another Socialist paper, deplor- ing its fall says that it “would be triumphantly: successful today, in our judgment, had it been placed in the hands of experienced managers. There lies the whole trouble with the Social- istic scheme. Almost any business can thrive if placed on the hands of experienced managers. But that is not what Socialism stands for. So; cialism does not want railroads conducted by red railroad men—it wants them run by not want banks run | nkers—it wants them run by | Socialists.

The loss in morale and ef- ficiency of Government depart- ments is inestimable. But the more serious loss lies in the neglect of important legislation whitch has extended through prac: tically the whole of the session and which already has shown signs, of resulting in a mass of-ill-advised, ill- considered and pernicious statutory enactment, sed solely for politi- cal expediency*or obstructed merely for the sake of discrediting the party in power.
