The character of the crush at the rai- way station last night when the former president arrived, may be judged from the fact that the chief of police suffered a broken leg and several other persons were injured.

Mr, Berger's statement in full is as fols lows: A detafled review of what the social democratic administration of Milwaukee in- tends to accomplish during the next two years will be contained in the mayer's in- augural message. I wish only to state the general principles upon which this party stands and upon which we were elected on Aprfl 5. 1, of course, will not repeat the platform. In the first p'ace, the social democratic party of Milwaukeo is an integral part of the social f!rly of America. In Wisconsin we are officlally named “the social demo- cratic party,’ which is the customary in- ternational name. The socidlist party of America is the American expression of the international movement of modern wage workers for better food, better hou: , sufficlent sleep, more lelsure, more education and more cul- ture. The founders of the republic declared for political freedom. But we call attention to the fact that since the birth of this nation a revolution in industry has taken place. Formerly hand labor and individual effort produced the necessities of maniind. To- day. machine labor and soclal or assoclated labor are the means of producing those necessities. And while in that/ former time it was the imperative duty of the govern- ment to protect the individuai in possession of the property he had~produced, so today it is equally the duty of the government to protect associated labor, that is to say, the whole body of working people, in the possession of tho products of their toll, Middle Class Disappearing. The present system of social production by individual ownership has produced two classes—the propertyless class and the cap- italist class. The middle class; once the backbone of this great nation, is fast dis- appearing in the mill of competition, and the issue is now between the first two classes. All attempts to obscure this issue or to delay the settioment are futile, for all other issues will be speedily absorbed by “it. Thus it develops that thé battle for human rights has become a battle to' determine which form of government we hall have in She future—plutocracy or democracy. Political liberty alone has become inade- quate; we ust have both political and economio liberty. To cerure this is the alm of the soc! demiocracy. In eity afiaiis hd for the public ownership of municipal utilities, We are Well aware, however, that Milwaukee does not enjoy - Seif-govemment, and that, as @ fule, o ateps gan be taken in that’direc- tion' without an appeal to the state legl lature at Madison. In municipal alfairs.the.social democracy stands ulso for ical change that will bring means of de\lfilen into the homes of the people. t belleves in self-govern- ment for the city, the initiative, the refer- endum and the right of recall, in a just and equitable taxation, in efflsient sani- tary inspection of workshops and houset and in the public control of the food su ply in the interests of the public health and in the highest development of & rea- sonable public service. At the proper time . othér things. Meeting Present Conditions. We, call attention to the fact that the meashres we urge are in no way a complete cure for existing evils, nor are taey neces- sarily soclallstic measures. They are to be viewed rather as needed palliatives. Under o circumstances should the working peo- ple rest content with municipal imimove- Tents, wifich are merely temporary in their nature and must be entirely inadequate They should move onward to the conquest of #ll public powers, to an entire changi of the present system for one which shal gecure to the people collectively, the means of_production and distribution. ‘The main Spring of corruption in mun. cipal afatirs is found in the fact that a few ‘alderman or officials have 1n their power to give away or sell franchises to officlals to secure & share in the millions The temptation thus offered our public officials to secure & shade in the millions thus given away is too great for the aver- age man to withstand. “If the city should operate its public utilities, the motive and the opportunity for bribery would be gono, {even if minor evils and breaches of trust might continue, owing o the corrupting influence of the capitalistic system which makes money-getting the sole aim of life The soclal democracy, therefore, objects to more competition in Public utilities; more competition means more corruption. We stand for the public ownership of pub- Tie utilities; but until We reach this, we will enforce the utmost extension and possible kervice from these utilities, as far as the present laws, will permit. Contract System Dangerous, We look upon the contract system also ' Qanger. It constantly Induces con- raétors to bribe city officials on the one hand and to exploit their workmen on the other. Moreover, it Is always in the Inter- est of the city that citizens earn decent wages; thereford, instead of contractors, | the labor unions ought to be encouraged. The city should stand pledged, 8o fay as the charter permits, to employ only union labor, at elght hours a day, and should requite the same of all contrictors doing city rwork. The money made out of the city by con- traetors will better go toward the relief of the unemployed: first by the improve- ment of the streets; second by the estad- lishment of public coal and wqo? vards and & public ice house. In this climate lce is A UNIVERSAL FOOD Following Nature's Footsteps. “I have & boy, two yedrs old, welghing forty pounds and in perfect health, who has been raised on Grape-Nuts and milk. “This is an ideal food and evidently furnishes the elements - necessary for baby as well as for adults.

The city could easiy harvest an abundance of ice Auring the winter months, thus emploging many oitisens who would otherwise have to recelve public ald. We realize that RIvINg work to the unemployed can wolve no industrial problems, but it Is the least that can be done as a humane | duty toward those in distress. Free education 18 essentlal to a high civiiization. Free books are as much & art of free education as free teachers and ree school houses. The woclal democracy demandsthat books and school. utensils be furpished free to all puplls attending the publie schools. Tax of Corporations. feads us to the question If corporations bore their share of taxes—figured even at the present val- uation—the taxes of all citizens could be reduced 20 per cent, and there would stil be enough money left in the city tre ] which could be used for public improv ments of all kinds. % Public health requires.more attention to tactories and work shops, better plumbing, more public baths anud g evatem .of publle street closets, such as s found In Euro- pean cities. Public health alep. demands an extension of the free medloal servige: At the present time many & difedse @nd even epidemics get their origin from the ‘fact thikt ‘poor people sheink frem. consulling a physician because of the expense, until it Is too late. While we réalfge that pauperism and prostitution are thé Yegitimate outgrowth of the present system, 'which subme the lower stratum of .the, proletariat, it is well known that tertain Wealthy eitizens derive profit trom degradution through the rent of old rookeries which are a menace both to public mornls and the Health. We will see to It that all slum property be condemhed and that steps | shall be taken to protect our boys and | gitls. .

We are hampered by an obsoelete charter | and laws made in favor of the capitalist | class- and the- capitaliat. eclass. only, .but | we again promise the best gdministration | this city has ever had, afid as far as human effort can secure it, we will make Bood our promise.

WASHINGTON, April 18 —Dismissed from the army and put into the peniten- tiary for his alleged connection with the traud on the government in the depart- ment of harbors at Savannaw, Ga., former Captain Oberlin M. Carter had & $00,00 fortune swept out of his hands today as a further outcome of that transaction. This was the result of & decree by the United States supreme ocourt. The decree was based on a claim against Carter for an equitable accounting for the money he had gotten fraudulently, it was charged. The ‘clafm of the government was that Captain Carter, as engineer of the United States army In chirge of the improvements in the harbor at Savanunal, Ga., with Greene and Gaynor, contractors, defrauded the government out of more than $3,000,00 Of this amount it Is alleged Carter got one- third. This sult was brought to obtain possession of the securities and real estate in which it was claimed this money was invested. L. D. Carter of Oakland, Iil, an uncle of Captain Carter, and 1. 8. Carter of Chi- cago, a brother, were charged with alding him to conceal the alleged fraudulently ac- quired funds. The clreuit court held that the contr: tors had realized excessive profits and that they had divided them with Robert F. tather-in-law, and as a conclusion of law, ‘arter must be held chargeable with knowl- cdge of what was being done in the prem- Ises. Upon this eonclusion, it was held the United States should recover. Of the $§7869% which the government claimed to have traced to Carter as profits he had received, $$73,352 was tied up In receivers hands In New York, New Jerse Tliinols and Georgla, subject to the disposi- tion of ‘the present litigation. In announeing the opinion of the court, Justice Lurton said Mr. Westoott, Carter's father-in-law, was a “screen’ for Carter. 10WANS THINK FRUIT CONE (Continued from First Page) tendency toward rising temperature Tues- day, with no freezing temperature in sight for Tuesday.
